Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Friday Lang packed up his things and said goodbye to the Lu family.

Their child is still young, so it is not easy to follow him around, and the reason why he wants to go home is because the herbs he received will be sent to the capital after being dried and processed, so he has to go to Beijing after the winter. It is not a long time and it is unnecessary Must bring his wife and children.

As soon as the couple left on Friday and Tuesday, the house became even colder, but quietness also had the advantage of being quiet. After Bai Shan and the others rested, they read more and more seriously, and the time was getting longer and longer.

In August, Bai Dalang began to write and post poems. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang thought about it. Although they didn't need to post, they also wrote two poems and submitted them to Kong Jijiu.

There is no way, they are reading with the prince now, it is not good for anyone to vote for this poem, just vote for Kong Jijiu.

Kong Jijiu received the poems from the two of them from the concierge. He couldn't help drawing his forehead, and then put the poems of the two of them in the three good poems he had chosen. When drinking and eating with his colleagues Take it out and appreciate it together.

Posting is something that every student who wants to take the jinshi exam has to go through, in order to gain some fame before the exam, so that the examiners will have a certain impression score when they see their names when grading the papers.

Of course, if you can meet an official who appreciates you and shares your interests, it will be even better. He will recommend you to other officials. Even if you do not perform well in the exam and are recommended by an official, he will have a better chance of being selected than others.

Yes, the imperial examinations of this dynasty are not ambiguous.

So the examiner's impression score is very important.

It is even more important to have the impression of the emperor. Kong Jijiu does not think that Bai Shan and Bai Cheng will fall off the list.

Although none of them are obvious, they are really valued by the emperor and the prince, and regardless of their character and talent, they have been recognized by the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty;

The other one is also heavy on love and righteousness, and is the future consort of the princess. Even if the ranking is not high, they will not fall off the list.

And, do they still need to be famous?

But in the end, they were his own students, and the talent of the two was still passable, so Kong Jijiu mixed the poems of the two with the ones he liked for everyone to see.

As a sacrificial wine of the Imperial Academy, the prince and the grandfather, the daily submissions received by Kong sacrificial wine are counted in baskets.

Every day the concierge moved baskets of posts into his study.

Of course he couldn't read them one by one, because many people were afraid that they would not be able to see it when they voted for the Confucius sacrifice wine, and they sent articles to his house almost every day, and the repetition rate was particularly high.

He can only let his disciples screen, put aside the ones that have been seen before, put aside those that are obviously unreasonable, put aside those with ugly words, put aside those with dirty rolls, and put aside the rest. I will watch it in person, and then choose what I think is good, or really appreciate it, meet people, chat, and then decide whether to recommend it.

Because of the imperial examinations, the economy of Beijing, which had been sluggish after the national filial piety, became active again, and it became more lively every day. Many students from other places filled the vast majority of vacancies in the capital, so restaurants, bookstores, and teahouses , restaurants, and even the business of all kinds of small things outside has become more and more prosperous.

On Saturday, Lang felt that the business of his own restaurant was better, even though he had already hired a chef and hired two more helpers, he was too busy.

Little Qian went to help, so the restaurant's business was better.

It's not how exquisite the food she cooks, but, "It's very appetizing, just like the food you eat at home, but it's better than the food she cooks at home."

Moreover, Zhouji Restaurant has a large amount of food, unlike some restaurants, which are full of flavors and aromas, but only very few, and one table and two chopsticks can finish eating.

Here, three or five fellow villagers gather together and order three or two dishes, which is much cheaper than asking the cook to cook by themselves, so the candidates who live nearby like to eat at Zhouji Restaurant.

Especially the students from Sichuan and Sichuan, they identified Zhouji Restaurant.

There's no way, it's too good for the taste. The food from other restaurants is fresh at the beginning, but it can't be eaten later.

Just in the midst of this lively and tense, time rushes into October, and the jinshi examination begins.

Man Bao followed Mrs. Liu to send the three brothers of the Bai family to the entrance of the examination room. Mr. Zhuang had never experienced the imperial examination, so he was a little nervous and could only tell them, "Don't make a typo, write it first, check carefully, The rolls should be clean..."

This was a warning from all the colleagues in the Chongwen Hall who had participated in the imperial examination and had been the examiners. Kong Jijiu said bluntly, "The papers are not clean and the handwriting is scribbled.

With so many papers, the time is short. How can you identify your characters word by word?

The Imperial College has long ago stipulated that all exams must be written in italics, italics!

So Mr. Zhuang only told these three things at this time.

Bai Shan and Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang obeyed obediently, and then carried the test basket into the test room.

This is the second time for Mrs. Liu to send her child into the examination room. Not to mention, she is still very nervous, even more nervous than sending her son into the examination room back then.

So she supported Zheng's and Man Bao's hands and said, "Let's sit and wait in the teahouse next door."

Her hands and feet are a little weak now, and she doesn't want to take the car home for the time being.

Mr. Zhuang thought that they would also come to pick him up in the evening, so he nodded in agreement.

So the group went to a teahouse not far away to sit and drink tea and wait.

Man Bao poured tea for the elders and asked Mr. Zhuang, "How many people will be admitted to the Jinshi Division this year?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "The meaning of listening to Confucius' sacrifice is that we only intend to take thirty-two people."

Man Bao was surprised, "So few?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "It's not too small, only 27 people were taken last time."

Man Bao couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Can Senior Brother Bai pass the exam?"

Mr. Zhuang said indifferently: "I can't pass the test this year, and the next time I take the test, he is still young, so don't be in a hurry."

Mr. Zhuang paused and said, "It's Bai Shan and Bai Cheng. If they pass the exam, they shouldn't be employed at this time. They should go out to study for a while."

Man Bao nodded, and looked at Mr. Zhuang, the teacher and the apprentice were happy.

Mrs. Liu only glanced at the two of them. Years ago, they were attacking and wanting to go on a study tour in the next two years, but she has not yet made up her mind whether to let them go or not. After all, it is not so safe outside. .

But it is not always a good thing to keep children in the capital. Eagles are soaring in the sky, how can they stay in their nests to avoid the wind and rain?

Mrs. Liu's heart is like being roasted by fire. She wants them to stay in the capital in a stable and healthy way, but she doesn't want to restrain their wings, so she has always avoided participating in this topic.

But the Jinshi exam is over for three days, and then the rankings are released. At that time, she will always have to face this problem.

On the first day of the Jinshi exam, the exams were poetry and essays. Bai Shan and the three of them had no problems, and they came out happily in the evening.

But it became difficult from the second day. The exam was in the study of classics.

See you at 6 pm
