The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 31 County Examination County Examination
(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

This group of people talked enthusiastically and spit everywhere, as if Sun Ruoxu was their real father.

Wang Shouwen was furious, he wanted to get up and walk over to argue as soon as he slapped the table, but was stopped by Xie Shen.

"Brother Shenxian, why are you dragging me? I'm going to teach them a lesson."

"Why are you arguing with them so fast? Didn't they say that Sun Ruoxu is the chief case in the county trial, so let's show them the chief case!"

Xie Pi also persuaded: "Yes, the county examination is coming soon, so it's better not to cause trouble in vain."

Wang Shouwen grinned, and it took him a while to calm down.

"It's up to you two to take the test, I can't do it!"

Xie Shen burst out laughing: "Don't look at Sun Ruoxu's prestige now, but the higher he is praised, the worse he will fall. I assure you, the crime will not fall on Sun Ruoxu this time." empty body."

The reason is of course very simple. The examiner of D County Examination is County Magistrate Wu, whoever wins the case is completely up to him.Because Sun Ruoxu instructed the servants to bully Xie Shen, County Magistrate Wu already hated the grandson of the Sun family, so why would he choose Sun Ruoxu as the chief case.

Of course, Xie Shen didn't tell Wang Shouwen about these things.

Wang Shouwen was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It turns out that brother Shen Xian has already made up his mind. That's good, we must not let this birdman steal the limelight."

Xie Shen nodded lightly, with a smile on his lips.

The biggest backer of the Sun family should be Mr. Cao, but Mr. Cao was already half useless after his hip was broken by his wife.As for the friendship between the county magistrate and the Sun family, it seems that it is not that deep.

It is impossible for the Zhuhu Sun family, who has no backing, to influence the results of this county test.

This is an excellent opportunity for Xie Shen to slap him in the face.As long as he can beat Sun Ruoxu to win the first case in the county trial, his status in the entire gentry circle will be greatly improved.

Is there anything more enjoyable than stepping on Sun Ruoxu, a bird man, to take the position?
After returning from Wangyue Residence, Xie Shen washed up and went to bed.He slept soundly and soundly, and when he woke up the next day, the boy felt extraordinarily refreshed.

After washing up and having breakfast, Xie Shen went to the county school with a wooden basket.

This wooden basket has two layers. The first layer contains some easy-to-carry food, such as pancakes and pouches.The second layer is filled with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

When Xie Shen came to the county school, many people had already surrounded the gate of the county school.The two officials stood on the left and right like door gods, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.For them, a county examination is held every year, and nearly a hundred students will be on the list.

There are not many four-legged wild dogs in Yuyao, but two-legged students are everywhere.

Don't look at these students who are full of pride in their diaries today, how many of them can pass the three exams of the county court and get the title of scholar?As for juren, not to mention Jinshi.There are only two to 300 people in the Jinshi for three years and one subject. How many people can be assigned to Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture?

The official, who was used to seeing big scenes, scanned the crowd without a trace of emotion, and did not intend to let these students enter the examination room in advance.

Xie Shen was not in a hurry, he found Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi and said calmly, "You two came early enough today."

Wang Shouwen raised his eyebrows and said, "It means brother Shenxian is kind-hearted. The imperial examination is a major event in life, and the county examination is the first step in the imperial examination. How can we not pay attention to it?"

Xie Shen paused and said, "Emphasis is not such a method of emphasizing. Only by lifting weights lightly can one write a good essay."

Xie Pi nodded and said, "Brother Shen's words are reasonable. We must not let ourselves get into trouble."

A group of students waited for half an hour before the official opened the gate of the county school.

Some of these students lived outside the city and hurried on their way in the morning without eating, and after waiting for half an hour, their eyes were already dazzled.At this moment, I saw that the official opened the gate of the county school, but he couldn't control his legs and feet, and was pushed and shoved by the students behind him, almost fell and fell into the mud.

Although Xie Shen was unhappy, he still walked forward with the flow of people.

The identities and backgrounds of the personnel in the county examination vary, and some of them are several rounds behind in age.

Xie Shen saw an old man in his sixties with gray temples walking tremblingly towards the gate of the county school, feeling a pang of sorrow in his heart.

There must be more than one old boy like this. They have taken the exam all their lives and have not even achieved the fame of a scholar, but they still look persevering.

The two officials looked fierce, shouting and inspecting the bamboo baskets carried by the students.Some students were even ordered to take off their robes for officials to inspect.

Although those students were trembling with anger, they still had to take off their outer shirts according to the order, and let the soap official's dog paws grope at them at will.

Disgraceful!Disgraceful!
If he is named on the gold list in the future, these lowly servants will definitely look good!
This is what these humiliated students think in their hearts.

But on the other hand, officials are dismissive of these students.

Not to mention that they are young children who haven't even passed the county exam, so what if they passed the county exam?How many people took the county examination and thought that they would definitely become a scholar, but without exception, they failed in the government examination.

You must know that the most difficult part of the small three-yuan exam is the government exam.Students who take the central government examination can basically guarantee the title of scholar.

Thinking about showing off in front of them?No matter what, I have to get a reputation as a scholar.Otherwise, these scholars are nothing more than a pile of dust in the eyes of officials.

When it was Xie Shen's turn to inspect, the young man cupped his hands at the two officials, with a smile on his face.

The subtle movements made the two officials feel good about each other.The students who had entered the county school to wait for the exam either looked bitter or indifferent, as if someone owed them money.And Xie Shen not only knows how to be courteous, but also calm and composed before the big exam, like a celebrity.

They only inspected Xie Shen's bamboo basket symbolically and then let them go.

After Xie Shen entered the county school, he looked around for a week, and found that the temporary examination shed built with bricks and stones in the yard had been covered with thatch, and it was no problem to temporarily shelter from the rain and wind.

Hey, if it comes, it will be safe.The conditions for the best county examination in the Ming Dynasty are like this, so don't be too demanding.

Rows of number houses are neatly arranged in the yard.Xie Shen was assigned the No. Guihai No., which was next to the side hall of the county school.There is a corner door here, and the outer wall naturally has a gap, and sometimes there will be a breeze.

Although it is February at this time, it is still a little hot at noon.

Xie Shen was very fortunate to be assigned to this dormitory.If you encounter obstacles in solving the problem, the mood will naturally improve a lot when the breeze blows.

Carrying the basket and finding his dorm, Xie Shen first looked around.He found that in addition to a small stool and a square table, there was also a wooden barrel carefully prepared in the dormitory.This is probably for the convenience of the candidates. After all, the Ming Dynasty scientific examinations did not allow candidates to enter and exit the numbers at will.

Eating and drinking must be done in the dormitory. Isn't this taste too strong?
