Farming Wenli Examination for Imperial Examination

On the sixth day of March, the general examination began to enter the venue.This time there will be a total of three exams, each of which will take three days.The difference between the general examination and the rural examination is that the rural examination allows one day off after one test, while the general examination requires nine days in the examination room.

Although it is already March, the weather in the capital is still very cold.Especially the day before the exam, it rained a lot, so I felt very cold when I got up early in the morning.

Shen Chenyu prepared the test basket last night, and got up before dawn this morning.Originally, he didn't want Mu Linting to suffer from the cold, after all, the other party is now pregnant with a child.However, Mu Linting's temperament is rather stubborn, so he got up early in the morning, planning to send Shen Chenyu into the examination room himself.

Shen Chenyu had no way to persuade him, but asked him to wear more clothes, and they left the small courtyard one after the other.

When Shen Chenyu and his wife came out, several students from the government school had already got up. After everyone gathered, they said a few words, and the group headed towards the examination room together.

Because the examination is held in March, it is called Chunwei and Xingbang.The general examination is held by the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, and only those who pass the provincial examination can participate.Candidates who pass the examination are called Gongshi, and No.1 is called a member.

The ranking of the general examination is not the final ranking. In the next month, that is, in April, one will have to participate in the palace examination, and the ranking obtained from the palace examination is the final ranking.Generally, Gongshi who passed the general examination will not fail in the palace examination later. At most, there are two differences between Jinshi and the same Jinshi.

The Palace Examination is also called the Gold List, and the top three are: No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tan Hua.After the palace examination, there will be a horse parade through the streets, and that will be the most beautiful time for scholars.

Even Shen Chenyu couldn't help being a little excited when she thought that the imperial examination and the palace examination were the last two hurdles of the imperial examination.However, this kind of excitement didn't last long, because it was extinguished by the strict inspection of the trial.

The general examination is more stringent than the rural examination, but because the candidates are all Juren now, the overall quality is much better than before.

After Shen Chenyu entered the entrance of the examination institute, she was led into a room next to it by soldiers.While the soldiers were carefully checking his test basket, Shen Chenyu had to take off his clothes for the eunuch next to him to check.

No matter how many talents there are among them, a simple entry into the city now will throw face on the ground.But fortunately, although the inspection of the test is strict, at least you don't have to lose face in front of everyone if you stay in the room.

Because they need to stay in the examination room for nine consecutive days, most candidates will choose to buy food and water in the examination room.However, there are also candidates who bring some rations in because of their family background or worry about hygiene. They simply cook something for themselves.

When Shen Chenyu was looking for the numbered room with the test basket, she saw a candidate next to him carrying a large and small bag. It seemed that the other party had brought a lot of food.

Although Shen Chenyu chose to buy food in the examination room, because he was afraid that the prince would attack him, he would not eat food in the examination room even if he bought food.

Although the Taifu boss told him that the prince would not use such a small trick to deal with him, but would directly crush him to death without any worries.Just like the prince stretched out his hand and crushed Mu Linting to death, a person with such a high position and authority didn't have too many worries.

But the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable. Shen Chenyu has been framed in various ways along the way, so he still thinks it is better to be cautious.

After all, Shen Chenyu is now a family leader. Even if he doesn't think about his own future, he still has to think about his wife and children.

Shen Chenyu's luck this time is not very good, because his number room is not far from the stinky number.Although it is not as unlucky as the candidates next to those two stinking numbers, for Shen Chenyu, who was a noble and precious person in her previous life, this is also a very painful and embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, the weather is still very cold now, and I can barely bear it for the first two days after entering the venue, but it will not be wonderful until the next few days.

Shen Chenyu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and after finding her number room, she began to check the number room first.The examination institute in the capital is larger than Wuling Mansion, but the environment of the number rooms is still very bad.

The palm-sized room is crowded and crowded, and there is a 1.2-meter-wide bed, a slightly worn-out table and a chair inside.There is a wooden bucket under the table for washing brushes, which is half full of water, and a coarse rag is hung on the table leg.

Room No. [-] is very narrow, with three walls that are airtight, a large window on the other wall, and a very small single door.

In addition to these things, there is nothing in the whole number room.There is only the dusty air and the dilapidated roof of the number house.

Shen Chenyu tidied up in the number room, and as the sky outside gradually brightened, the chill that made people shiver before subsided.

Later, when the examiner read the rules of the examination room, a group of soldiers with knives entered the examination room with a cold face.Candidates can mention anything during this period of time, but they can no longer speak after the gong sounds for the start of the exam.

Shen Chenyu paid the food fee for the examination room, and gave the invigilator 50 taels of silver, and then bought a charcoal basin and some charcoal.Things in the examination room are very expensive. You can buy a lot of gold silk charcoal outside for ten taels of silver, but you can only buy ordinary charcoal in the examination room.The number rooms in the examination room were not well insulated, and the temperature difference between day and night in the capital was very large in spring, so he was willing to spend a little money to avoid catching cold.

When the food, water, and charcoal basin were delivered, Shen Chenyu was already grinding ink.Shen Chenyu glanced at the food in the examination room, and didn't move them immediately, but lit the charcoal basin to warm up his hands and feet first.

The examinee next to him should have a good family background. Seeing that Shen Chenyu looked comfortable on the charcoal basin, he followed suit and bought the charcoal basin.

As the gong sounded for the start of the exam, several examiners led a group of soldiers into the arena, and began to quickly distribute the test papers to the candidates.

The content of the general examination is similar to that of the rural examination, the only difference is that the policy questions are relatively difficult.When Shen Chenyu got the first test paper, he roughly scanned the test questions on the test paper, and then he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were questions that he had done.

For Shen Chenyu, this can be regarded as great news.Because as long as it is a question he has done, he can answer the perfect question after the guidance of the master Taifu.

This kind of question is to send sub-questions. With such a big question as a guarantee, Shen Chenyu's first game can be said to be stable.

Of course, all of this is due to Master Tai Tuo, if the master hadn't won the exam questions, Shen Chenyu wouldn't be able to be so relaxed now.

When Shen Chenyu came to the door with spirit wine before, it was probably because the effect of spirit wine had worked secretly, and the boss was not only happy but also in better health.

Seeing this, the elder's sons all understood that this spirit wine might be a rare treasure. Afterwards, not only did they not stop the elder from drinking, but they even mentioned the matter of this spirit wine in a circumstantial way.

The spirit wine involved Shen Chenyu's gold finger, even if the Taifu's family is very reliable, it is impossible for Shen Chenyu to tell the other party about it.

So when they mentioned this to Shen Chenyu, Shen Chenyu only said that it was a good wine that he got by chance, and he didn't know how to make wine and didn't have much in stock.

Although several people doubted this in their hearts, they also knew that this thing was hard to come by. It was not easy for Shen Chenyu to take such a risk to take it out.

This is a deal between Shen Chenyu and the old lady. He helped improve the old lady's physical condition, and at the same time satisfied the old lady's preference for fine wine. The old lady spent three months teaching Shen Chenyu to read.As for how much Shen Chenyu can learn by himself, it all depends on Shen Chenyu's own good fortune, and the rest is not what the old lady cares about.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Shen Chenyu's photographic memory, he would not learn much no matter how hard he worked in three months.Fortunately, God still favored him, not only let him meet such a good teacher as the old master, but also have a photographic memory that all scholars envy and envy.

To say that before Shen Chenyu only thought about it, it was enough for a good candidate to pass the examination.So now he doesn't think like this, but is going for the top ten in the test.

Because the better Shen Chenyu did in the exam, the higher the ranking, the chance to get into the eyes of the current emperor.At that time, no matter how lawless the prince is, he can't take Shen Chenyu's life casually. No matter what, he has to give the current emperor some face.

After all, Shen Chenyu is a student of the emperor, and his identity represents the world's poor.If the crown prince killed Shen Chenyu without knowing why, not to mention whether the major powers in the court would make a fuss, even the children of poor families all over the world would be chilled by it.

The so-called water can carry a boat and capsize it. Although the children of the poor family are not as prestigious as those of the aristocratic family, there are so many children of the poor family in the world, and it is not easy to bully them.

Because she bet on the right topic in the first exam, Shen Chenyu managed to pass the exam relatively smoothly.When it came to the second test, it was not as smooth as the first one.

Shen Chenyu was a little restless at first, and accidentally soiled the test paper once, and then he changed the test paper and kept writing hard, and then rushed to the last hour to finish all the test questions.

Because the second test was rushed, Shen Chenyu looked very embarrassed with disheveled hair while waiting for the third test.He didn't have time to take care of himself, and he looked tired and embarrassed.

What Shen Chenyu didn't know was that the reason why he was uneasy in the second scene was because the prince's people had gone to Mu Linting.At that time, Mu Linting was resting in the small courtyard. He had been sleepy and tired for the past few days because of his pregnancy, but he did not expect the prince's people to find him.

Because the other party wanted to take Mu Linting away forcefully, Mu Linting killed the person without saying a word.Anyway, they came here secretly, and Mu Linting didn't have too much burden on his mind when he killed someone.

The Eighth Prince soon found out about this matter. Since he met Mu Linting that day, he has kept many people secretly protecting Mu Linting.

Although Mu Linting said that he didn't need any protection, the Eighth Prince had received a lot of benefits from the other party, and as an ally, he still had to have the courtesy.

Of course, the Eighth Prince said that he was protecting Mu Linting, but in fact he was also secretly monitoring Mu Linting.After all, Mu Linting has a lot of bargaining chips in his hands. Apart from being able to use his people as money bags for the Eighth Prince, Mu Linting also holds a formula for gunpowder in his hands.

Although there is gunpowder in this world, the power of gunpowder is very weak, and it only has the effect of setting off fireworks for the time being.Compared with the gunpowder in Mu Linting's hands, the gunpowder of this era can only be regarded as a child's toy.

This thing is also made by Shen Chenyu. After all, if they only have money as capital, they can only be at a relatively low disadvantage in cooperation.

So Shen Chen Yuhua made a gunpowder formula with points. The gunpowder produced by this formula is extremely powerful and very suitable for use on the battlefield of this era.

In this era of cold weapons, the appearance of this gunpowder is a great temptation.It can almost be said that whoever masters the gunpowder controls the lifeline of the country.

Even if His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince saw him, he probably couldn't help being tempted by it. That's why the Eighth Prince was so cautious, because he was worried that Mu Linting would go back on his word and stand in line with other people.

Shen Chenyu doesn't like the feeling of being controlled by others, and even less like her husband bowing to others, so gunpowder is his confidence for Mu Linting.
