Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 230 Announcement
Xu Chengyuan also echoed: "Ever since the heads of some people were beheaded in the scientific examination and the qualifications of several generations of candidates were banned, no one dared to do such a thing again."

Du Jinning was silent.

In the history of the previous life, those frauds in the examination hall that could not be banned in the past dynasties were because the punishment was not strong enough?When there is fraud in the examination room, only one or two leaders are beheaded, and the others are dismissed from office. The mutual supervision is not enough. It is understandable that some people are willing to take risks.

"Is it the same for the hospital examination, township examination and general examination? Just to see if there is any entrapment in the robe, and then let it go directly?" Du Jinning asked again.

Guan Jiaze nodded: "That's right."

Fearing that this guy was unreliable, Du Jinning turned his attention to Qi Muyuan for verification.

Qi Muyuan nodded, confirming Guan Jiaze's words: "That's true."

Both the Guan family and the Qi family are big families. People have participated in the imperial examinations over the years, and they are familiar with the rules of the examination room.Since both Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan said so, it seems that they are right.

Du Jinning's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

It seems that she can go to the examination room to show off her talents, earn a scholar, and come back with a name to support her appearance.

……

The test questions were corrected by the county magistrate who invigilated the test.He corrected hundreds of test papers very quickly, and by the time of the fourth day, the county government posted a list.

There were many people in front of the list, and Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan were very confident in themselves, and they didn't bother to squeeze with others, so they only sent a boy in to look at the list.

After a while, the servant squeezed out from the crowd and shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to Master Qi, No.1; Congratulations to Master Guan, No.5."

Although Guan Jiaze is two years older than Qi Muyuan, he admires his knowledge and memory very much.He was not surprised when he heard the news, he cupped his hands to Qi Muyuan and said, "Congratulations."

Qi Muyuan also returned a salute: "Happiness, same joy."

Xu Chengyuan was not with them, but squeezed in to watch the rankings by himself, and he hasn't come out yet.

However, Du Jinning had specifically told the boy in advance, and the boy said to Du Jinning at this time: "Master Xu is also on the list. If the villain is not mistaken, he should be No. 20 and five."

Du Jinning breathed a sigh of relief.

County trial cases are conducted in the form of Japanese circles, and only the seat number is written on the list, not the name.Take it within the name, it is the first circle.The circle is divided into inner and outer layers, with [-] people in the outer layer, [-] people in the inner layer, and a big circle of [-] people.

Although there are four county examinations, the first one is the main one, and the admission is relatively loose, and those with fluent writing will be admitted.You can take the prefectural examination for the first admission, but you don't have to take the following county examinations.But whether the ranking is inside or outside the circle, whether it is inside or outside, is still very important.The seat arrangement of the government examination is determined by this ranking, and the examiner of the government examination will also decide whether to admit or not based on the ranking.If your county test ranks at the very bottom, it means that you have no understanding of arts and science, and your foundation is not strong.Even if the test paper of the government examination is full of flowers, the examiner will suspect that you cheated, and they dare not admit you easily.

Xu Chengyuan can be ranked 25th, so this talent is still very promising.

And if nothing unexpected happens, Qi Muyuan should be the county's chief case.

She was about to find Mrs. Xie and tell her the news, when Xu Chengyuan squeezed out from the crowd with a complicated expression on his face.

He usually got good grades in the academy, but he was too nervous during the exam and didn't perform very well, so the ranking he got was not as ideal as he imagined.

Seeing that Xie's face was full of joy when he heard that his son had won the 25th place, Du Jinning just went up to congratulate Xu Chengyuan, and did not comfort Xu Chengyuan sensibly.

Guan Jiaze looked at Xu Chengyuan, then at his servant, and said very thankfully, "Fortunately, we didn't squeeze."

Everyone saw that Xu Chengyuan's hair was messy, and one of his shoes was squeezed out; the boy's image was not much better, so they nodded with lingering fear.

Although they won the first exam, they don't need to take the next three exams, but Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan chose to take part in order to train themselves, and Xu Chengyuan in order to get a better ranking.

Unsurprisingly, Qi Muyuan won the title of the county case chief, Guan Jiaze No. 3 and No. 2 were won by a man in his forties.

Xu Chengyuan played well in the next few games, and rose a few places, ranking fifteen.

Among the twelve students of Boyue Academy who participated in the county examination, ten passed the county examination, and five of the top ten students were in the county examination.

In April, they will go to Fucheng to take part in the government examination.

Seeing that they had finished their exams, Du Jinning told Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan and Zhang Hongwen of his plan to open a teahouse and bookstore in Fucheng.

Guan Jiaze is still a young man who is greedy for new things. The booming teahouse business has become the norm, and the booming bookstore is also expected, and it will never surprise him again.Moreover, Mrs. Guan was afraid that he would go into business because he was really interested in doing business, and she often brainwashed him in front of him. Now his interest in doing business has been greatly reduced.

Moreover, if he went to a place as far away as Fucheng to do business, even if the business was booming, he would not be able to see it, so he was not very interested.

So he immediately shook his head: "I won't participate this time, let's talk about it later."

Seeing that Qi Muyuan hadn't spoken, Zhang Hongwen also said, "I want to concentrate on my studies and forget about making money."

The money he owed to Du Jinning has not been paid off yet.What's more, he has no money, no connections, and can't help much. Du Jinning took him to make money in Lishui County. He had already taken advantage of Du Jinning, but he was embarrassed to follow him to Fucheng to continue to take advantage.

In this matter, his father had warned him.

Du Jinning turned to Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan touched his chin: "Let me think about it."

After finding a chance to get along alone, he said: "I'll also take two shares in the business over there in Fucheng."

Du Jinning blinked, always feeling that he did this on purpose.

Qi Muyuan understood the words in her heart, and said bluntly: "Guan Jiaze likes to join in the fun. If I had said to participate in the shares, maybe he would have changed his mind. Mrs. Guan will probably blame you and me by then."

From Guan Jiaze's usual complaints, it was not difficult for them to hear that Mrs. Guan disapproved of Guan Jiaze's further business.As for Mrs. Guan's eagerness for her beloved son and all kinds of concern for Guan Jiaze, the few of them have been together for a long time, and it is not difficult to understand it from Guan Jiaze's unintentional words.

Du Jinning's heart warmed.

What does "blame it on you and me" mean?Just blame her alone?Everyone in the world has the mentality of being soft-hearted. Qi Bokun's family background is something Mrs. Guan can't afford to offend. In the end, Du Jinning, who has no powerful background, will definitely be blamed.

But it has always been a partnership of four people. If she quietly went to Fucheng to open a teahouse and bookstore, in the end Mrs. Guan would definitely have something to say, thinking that she was ungrateful, crossing the river and destroying bridges.Even if Guan Jiaze gave up voluntarily and she went alone, Mrs. Guan probably had something to say, thinking that Du Jinning was selfish and ungrateful and didn't take her son to play.

Now that Guan Jiaze has given up and Qi Muyuan has joined, Mrs. Guan will have nothing to say.

Qi Muyuan is cold on the surface, but his thoughts are delicate, and he will always help her when she is most difficult.
