Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 155 Entering the Township Examination
Time passed, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The township examination in August has arrived, and scholars from all counties in Zhili Province have rushed to the capital to enter the examination field and prepare to show off their ambitions.

All the rural examination personnel across the country took the rural examination in the provincial capital of the province, and the total number of entries from all over the country ranged from a few hundred to nearly a thousand.

For example, in the early Qing Dynasty, some provinces with weak imperial examinations had less than [-] scholars who participated in the rural examinations (Jiansheng, Yinsheng, Gongsheng, etc.). Think of its cruelty, but think of its great competition.

This is really killed out of thousands of people.

Shuntianfu Gongyuan is also the examination room for the township examination.

Jia Lang made an appointment with a few classmates to set foot on the way to the examination room together. Seeing the crowds of people in front of him, he couldn't help but sweat a little.

"Everyone, let me go over there!" Looking at the long line in front of him, one of Jia Lang's dozen or so classmates said, "My father has already said hello in advance, let's go in over there!"

At this time, Jia Lang was with more than ten students from the Mingming Club.

It turned out that there was a pair of relatively fewer people next to the long line. Jia Lang was surprised at first that there were no people crowded there, but after listening to a classmate, he understood, There are special passages.

In this way, I can understand that most of the people on the side where there are few people are more expensive, which forms a sharp contrast with this side.

However, Jia Lang was still a little surprised that even the entrance to the township examination could be done in secret?This is at the feet of the emperor!If it is the county examination and hospital examination, it is possible!

It wasn't just Jia Lang who was puzzled once, but several classmates who were with him from poor backgrounds like Fangzheng also became confused with Jia Lang, and then Gu Yuan who was next to Jia Lang explained: "Brother Jia, this is just about those who have something to do with us. The channel opened by the rich and wealthy family is just one step faster than ordinary people, and other procedures are unavoidable."

"Originally, I wanted to ask my father to do something for us too, but what?" Then Gu Yuan became a little embarrassed and said, "My father won't be like that..."

Well, Jia Lang understood what he was going to say without him saying it, and then the classmate who spoke took out a dozen black waist cards from his test basket and handed them to everyone: "Brother Jin Nan paid for all of these. Please let me buy it, Brother Jinnan said that he should be treated as a special treatment by our Bingming Club!"

When everyone heard this, they also looked at Chen Jinnan, and Chen Jinnan also looked at the crowd with a smile on his face and said: "Everyone, please accept it for now! The exam is important, let's go first!"

Everyone is not hypocritical to hear this, there is no reason to refuse if there is a more convenient way!Everyone also took it readily, and then thanked these two one by one.

After receiving the badge, Jia Lang and several students from the Mingming Society immediately withdrew from the long line and walked towards the side with fewer people.

Of course, there are many people who are still in the long queue, talking nonsense about the actions of Jia Lang and others, and some pointing directly at the source: eunuch, if I can step into the court, I will definitely be on the side of the king Trying to reach into such a sacred place.

But there are also some people who gritted their teeth inwardly at this stark contrast: I will also be like this in the future, no longer I can only behave in the back of others.

In fact, such a move should not have happened. This is a test for the country, and there is only one in three years.

However, because the old and new emperors were in power together, most of the royal family's financial resources were still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, while the new emperor was slowly devolved step by step. In the hands of the Supreme Emperor, Lin Ruhai was a Jinshi during the reign of the Supreme Emperor, and he could be said to be the disciple of the Supreme Emperor.

And if the new emperor wants to rely on the influence of the Supreme Emperor, he needs to do practical things and recruit people, and these are indispensable for money.

The financial source of this imperial examination examination center was only at the suggestion of a rootless person. It started only seven or eight years ago, which is quite considerable for the emperor, and the most important thing is that in the end, if something goes wrong, he can be pushed out to take the blame. At most, he would be called a person who knows people but does not know them, and listens to treacherous ministers.

It was also the eunuch who came forward to implement it. Although it is absurd, it is almost absurd to have an emperor and a puppet.

For him, relying on the influence and control of the Supreme Emperor is the most important thing, not to mention a little fame.

Jia Lang and others stepped into the Gongyuan one after another. The first thing they experienced was the search. Everyone took off their clothes in front of the big soldiers until they were left with only a single piece of clothing. Some even took off all the way until they were completely naked. It was okay. At this time, in the special passage, the big-headed soldiers still knew how to behave, but they reached the stage of wearing single clothes and stretched out their hands to check whether they had brought any other items.

There have been people who cheated in imperial examinations in all dynasties. Although cheating in imperial examinations is a serious crime and they will not be hired for life after being caught, there are still many people who took risks. Don’t think that cheating methods in ancient times were lower than they are now.

For example, the silver salt turns black, and the clothes folder is densely filled with salt water. After mixing it into the examination room, the candles are lit and baked with fire, and the words will appear; There are also candles, pens, inks, papers and inkstones that can be mixed with cheat sheets, so that the size and style of the utensils in the examination room are clearly stipulated.

This time, there was no accident. Someone was arrested the moment Jia Lang entered, and the patrolling officials made a conclusion: "Take it down, make a record, remove the meritorious service, and send it to the frontier and don't enter it again!"

Then came the wailing of the examinees. Jia Lang looked carefully and found an old scholar in his [-]s or [-]s, but if he knew today, why bother!

Jia Lang resisted the cold, this was a necessary step, and after the chief soldier checked, he put on his clothes immediately, picked up the room number and rushed inside.

The test basket was also carefully inspected by the chief soldier, and then Jia Lang got the test house number, "land" No. 66. Jia Lang entered it with the basket and found his house number under the leadership of the chief soldier. , It's not a shit number, it's just an ordinary house number.

Jia Lang put the basket away, sat down and waited for the release of the exam questions. At this time, his state of mind returned to the nervous feeling of the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Then there was a person dressed as a small official holding a wooden board with a piece of question paper stuck on it. Jia Lang immediately looked at it, and it was the problem he had done before, and he quickly thought about it in his mind.

Soon the tip of the pen flowed naturally, and the shape of the pavilion with a straight hand appeared vividly on the paper.

After finishing writing, Jia Lang didn't stop writing, and quickly copied it onto a new piece of paper.

Time flies, some of the examinees are struggling to write, while others are hesitant to write.
