high official

Chapter 203 Zhejiang Qianhu Office
Jiang Zhixian looked at Wang Xian's paper, the writing was smooth, the characters were neat and tidy, and there were some minor flaws, but they were harmless, and it was reasonable to pick the middle, so he drew a circle on the top with a Chinese ink brush, which was allowed to enter. The meaning of a game.Wang Xian bowed to him and stepped back, and the two had no communication during the whole process.

When all ten people came out of the examination room, they saw Sister Lin and Yushe waiting there, as well as Shuaihui and Erhei, but Wang Xian didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he rushed to the opposite restaurant and borrowed someone's latrine to scatter the longest night of his life. Take a pee.After coming out, he asked the shopkeeper for water again. After drinking several cups, he still couldn't quench his thirst, so he just picked up the teapot and drank it all in one gulp. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's comfortable..."

"My lord, I don't understand, isn't it allowed to drink water and pee inside?" Shuai Hui followed him all the time, giggling.

"It's okay to pee, but if you can't get up, you can take a crock pot and piss under the table, peeing your pants is the next thing." Wang Xian gestured to him: "As an official of the imperial court, how can I expose my body in full view? bird?"

"Oh, I got it." Shuai Hui said, "I'll get someone to prepare cotton cloth when I go back."

"What?"

"Make a fool for the adults."

"roll!"

Wang Xian and Sister Lin went home together. Master Dong had already prepared a table of good dishes. He was so hungry that he was so hungry that he didn't wait for Wang Jin to fill his stomach first. He ate only rice Five bowls!
The old lady felt distressed when she saw it: "Unexpectedly, it is still a hard work to be a scholar. How much effort does it take to be so hungry?"

"Ma'am, you misunderstood." Shuai Hui smiled and said, "He's not tired, he was afraid to eat before..." Wang Xian gave him a hard look, so he didn't dare to continue.

It was still the same in the first few days, entering the examination room every morning before dawn, and leaving after noon.Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the examination room, Wang Xian couldn't care less about emotion, and just wanted to end this torture as soon as possible.It was so easy for him to survive five games. Although he was young and strong, he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore. He fell asleep for a day and two nights when he got home.

The county test release list is not allowed to be written flat, but to be written in circles. This is called a round list.There are 50 people in each round, and if there are less than 50 people at the end, the distance is slightly looser.There were three or four rounds after the first round, and there were no more than two rounds left after the last one was deleted. These 60 people are the children in the county trial, and they can participate in the prefectural exam in Hangzhou next month.Of course, if the family has energy, even if it is not on the list, the magistrate can still ask the prefect to continue to go to the government for the test.

Wang Xian is naturally on the list, and Wang Jin and the others are also there. Alas, there is something shady...

As usual, after the results of the county examination were released, the selected students would like to thank the county magistrate. Of course, Wang Xian ignored it. He rested at home for a few days before going back to Hangzhou to prepare for the next government examination.

In addition to his family members, there were three Wang Jins who went back with him.The three of them were carrying books, suitcases and bags, as if they were going to live in Hangzhou...Of course they were staying at Wang Xian's house.

It was the first time for the three cheap sons to leave home, and they were all as excited as if they had taken aphrodisiacs. Wang Xian was so ashamed that he carried them to the bow of the boat, and taught him with a serious face: "Students must be quiet and far away, and you will live forever." After passing the county test, you are so impetuous, do you really think that you will be selected as a scholar?"

"We can't pass the exam by ourselves," the three of them said with a smile on their faces, "but don't you have a father?"

"I can't speak in the magistrate's yamen, and your grandfather doesn't have that ability, let the magistrate let it go," Wang Xian said with a straight face: "The next test is all up to you, if you can't pass it, you can only pack up and go home , I don't have the ability to make Sir Tixue make an exception."

The three of them turned pale and said, "Is this really true?"

"Is there still a fake?" Wang Xian sighed: "I have to see my luck, let alone you?"

"Ah..." The three of them beat their chests and said, "What should we do, we have already boasted to our family, if we don't win, how can we have the face to go back?"

"Don't even think about it, I don't care for idlers!" Wang Xian cut off their thoughts with one sentence, and seeing the three of them wilted like eggplants beaten by frost, he had to cheer them up again: "If your grandfather and I don't become officials, you Haven’t taken the scholar exam yet? Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, show his real skills, and get a name in the exam with dignity!”

"Alas..." The three of them nodded, their confidence seriously lacking: "That's the only way to go." Wang Gui's cheap son Wang Jie sighed: "If we had known this, we would have worked harder. Uncle is taking everything and cheating people." Not shallow..."

"Get out!" Wang Xian kicked him into the river.

.

Back in Hangzhou, Wang Xian threw the three boys to Yu Qian, and asked the king of exams to provide them with surprise counseling before the exam, while he closed the door and continued to endorse... , worse than Wang Jin, so those pre-exam tutoring that grinds guns is of no use to him, but makes him confused. It's better to memorize a hundred more model essays honestly and see if you can meet them when the time comes.

Don't think that he is the only one who is weird, there are many people who do this, especially poor scholars, who have no money to hire famous teachers, and are not qualified to participate in the upper-class literary society. It just so happens that there are quite a few people who got the question right, and it is not illegal to suppress raids at this time, as long as people guess correctly, they must win... After all, those Chengwen are the works of famous scholars and Jinshi, who can say anything wrong?There is also a special nickname for this kind of person, called 'Pengxiucai'.

What's more, Wang Xian has Mr. Wei's unique secret book, which is known as "400 essays to test talents"!Now that Wang Xian has memorized more than [-] articles, he intends to grit his teeth and collect [-] articles to see if there will be a miracle by then!

Even if there is no miracle, Xu Tixue should still be lenient and let him take the college examination. Of course, this is not enough for outsiders.

Here Wang Xian is reciting stereotyped essays in the dark, while the appointment of the imperial court has come down there.Shuaihui and Erhei, both because of their meritorious service, were promoted to the procuratorate of Hangzhou Prefecture, and were transferred to Zhejiang to be used by the procuratorate... because the imperial court has stricter control over the number of officials in the yamen, but the majestic provincial judiciary is in great trouble , the statutory manpower is simply not enough, so it is very common for this kind of official position to be in a lower-level yamen, but people work in a regular office, such as the heroic Ma Dianshi who died in the line of duty...

It is worth mentioning that Wang Xian's official position is also Hangzhou prefecture's procuratorate, and he was transferred to Zhejiang as the procuratorate, so he was even on the same level as Shuaihui Erhei.Moreover, the two of them have never been economic officials, so they became officials directly.Thinking of the official position he had worked so hard to get into, the Hu Qin envoy actually promoted two ordinary people to officials as soon as his upper lip touched his lower lip.In this world, where do you go to reason?

But at the beginning, Hu Yun wanted to promote him three levels in a row and give him an official position of the eighth rank. As a reward, he didn't want it himself.Wang Xian has his own calculations. In the peaceful years, the status of scholars is getting higher and higher, and in the future it will be the world of scholars.Being able to get into the ranks of scholars is better than anything else... and once you have a grade, you can no longer take the imperial examination, and you will never be a scholar for life.

After much deliberation, sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood by mistake. Even if one has a reputation as a scholar, he can be regarded as a scholar. In the future, he will be less troubled in promotion. For this reason, it is worthwhile to miss the opportunity to be promoted to three levels in a row.

When he expressed this idea to Hu Yan, he was greatly appreciated by Hu Qin. The young man is really good, he does not aim too high, and he is down-to-earth and actively moves closer to the ranks of scholars. Such a good seed must be carefully cultivated.Commissioner Hu Qin even made a move to help Wang Xian promote the idea of ​​raising people. Of course, he is not even a scholar now, so it is too early to say anything.

So Hu Yan ignored Wang Xian, and let him continue to be indifferent...

But God is not Wang Xian's godfather, and the world can't go as expected. In February, an unsettling thing happened—except for Zhu Jiu and his group who were still chasing Jianwen in Jinhua Mansion, the court sent another team Jin Yiwei comes to Hangzhou!
As soon as this team of Jinyiwei arrived in Hangzhou, they summoned the three constitutions to come and read to them the decree of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi to establish a thousand households in Zhejiang.

Although no one would like to see such a Taishang Yamen in Hangzhou City, but the imperial decree cannot be doubted, so we have to follow the decree.So the Chief Secretary allocated Lu Garden, which originally belonged to the vassal yamen, to Qianhu as the official office, and the capital yamen sent [-] soldiers to guard it and obey its orders.

After the Jinyiwei Qianhu House was listed, it began to post a list to recruit fans and catchers. I am glad to hear that Jinyiwei is recruiting people. Ruthless enough and cunning enough, everything was collected under the tent, and in just over ten days, a team of 500 people was actually assembled...

This made the officials of Hangzhou City very worried. The Jinyiwei Thousand Households recruited troops with such great fanfare, and it must be a big fight. I am afraid that the people of Hangzhou Prefecture will suffer a catastrophe...

But Wang Xian didn't care about that much, because in the blink of an eye it was March 600th, the day of the government examination arrived, and the process of the government examination was similar to that of the county examination. After eight days of the one-day exam, at the fifth round, Wang Xian and his three cheap sons were miraculously still alive, and then the fifth round was basically a formality, and they passed the government exam smoothly.

This time, Wang Jin and the others were overwhelmed. It turns out that we are quite capable!It is not in vain that we have studied hard for more than ten years!After saying hello, he happily returned to his hometown to announce the good news and enjoy the compliments from the tribe.

Looking at their leaving backs, Father Wang spat: "Do you know how much money I gave you?!" It turned out that in order to let the three of them pass the test, Wang Shouye had been asking a lot for the past few months, and finally found out from someone who knew.Although the magistrate is as clean as water, his master can handle this matter, 200 taels of silver per quota, but don't even think about the chief of the case.

For the hope of the people and for the great trust of the third uncle, Wang Xingye gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. I will pay for this money!After finally finding Mr. Huang, the magistrate, he gave 600 taels of silver and a list of the three of them.At that time Master Huang was noncommittal, but he didn't refund the money, so Wang Xingye knew that the matter was over. When the list was released, it turned out that all three of them were on the list.

　Chasing troops are urgent, ask for a monthly pass, there are still more at night! !
