Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

According to the regulations of the Dayu Imperial Court, all students who take part in the scientific examination must present three documents when they sign up—a personal confession, affidavit, and mutual affidavit.

The so-called pro-confession is the household registration, and it is also necessary to indicate the names of the three generations of the ancestors, that is, the names of the grandparents, parents, and myself, mainly the name, place of origin, age, physique, and appearance of the student.

The statement of affirmation is the guarantee material provided by the student with the same household registration to ensure that the student's personal statement is not fake.

The mutual bond is a letter of commitment written by five candidates together, promising not to cheat in the examination room, etc. This is a five-person mutual bond. Generally speaking, in order to prevent themselves from being implicated in other people's cheating, everyone finds familiar people together.

Qu Yi never accompanied Liang Kangsheng to participate in the scientific examination in his previous life. He didn't know there was such a rule, and he panicked when he heard about it.

Liang Kangsheng remembered that he had never told Qu Yi this before, and took his hand and explained in a warm voice: "Brother Yi, don't worry, it's not the first time for me to take the government examination, the personal confession and affidavits are ready, and the mutual confession is ready." It needs to be written on the spot, and the person I have an appointment with will arrive later, and then we can go there together."

Liang Kangsheng used to study in a school in the county seat. Later, he fell ill from time to time. The school was cold in winter and hot in summer, and it was inconvenient to take medicine. Liang's father paid alone to ask his master to teach him at home. , it is not difficult for him to find someone to make friends with.

Qu Yi felt relieved now, and asked Liang Kangsheng to talk to him about the scientific research while no one was coming.

As Quyi gained a preliminary understanding of the scientific examinations at all levels, Liang Kangsheng's former classmates gradually came over.

Seeing Qu Yi standing next to Liang Kangsheng in a graceful manner, the few people who came over had a little surprise in their eyes, but they didn't show it on their faces. They greeted Qu Yi politely: "This is my sister-in-law?"

It was not the first time that Qu Yi met Liang Kangsheng's classmate, but for everyone, it was the first time for them to see Qu Yi, so after meeting everyone, Qu Yi retreated to the side and did not get involved in the chat between them. .

After a while, people from the government office opened the door and set out tables and chairs. No matter how many students in the past had their eyes above their heads, they had to go and line up honestly at this moment.

Qu Yi stayed in the teahouse and waited. Although Liang Kangsheng and the others were wearing robes of the same standard, when they stood together, the first thing he saw was Liang Kangsheng, and his eyes would linger on Liang Kangsheng unconsciously. .

You can see the outside from the inside, and naturally you can also see the inside from the outside. Everyone noticed Qu Yi's eyes and teased Liang Kangsheng.

"Brother Liang and sister-in-law Fulang have a really good relationship. The few of us are not yet married, and we have no chance to take the exam with my wife and Fulang."

"I was surprised when I came here just now. I hadn't heard that Brother Liang was holding a wedding. I never thought that I would even bring my husband with me to participate in the government examination. I really envy you."

"When Four Happiness mentioned the bridal chamber wedding night and the nomination on the gold list, seeing Brother Liang's red face, I think that brother Liang is very likely to be nominated on the gold list this time."

……

Liang Kangsheng responded with a smile, praised his husband a few words, but did not mention why Qu Yi married into the Liang family.

Because they went in time, it was Liang Kangsheng's turn soon. It was not the first time for the few people who joined each other to take part in the government examination. Everyone prepared well and there was no problem, and they finished it in one go.

After registering, Liang Kangsheng and Qu Yi returned to the inn. At this time, there were still a few days before the government examination, and everyone they knew came. Liang Kangsheng began to go out occasionally to chat with former classmates and talk about his views on classics.

In his previous life, Liang Kangsheng had participated in this government exam. He actually knew the questions of the government exam, but he didn't dare to tell the questions. Over the past few years, the students who have become friends with each other have passed the examinations for scholars one after another, and they all have real talents and real learning.

When Liang Kangsheng went outside to chat with others, Qu Yi stayed at the inn, reading the books that Liang Kangsheng brought to Fucheng, it was not boring.

A few days passed in a hurry, and the government examination officially began.

Early in the morning before dawn, many students who participated in the government examination will go to the examination shed prepared by the government office, waiting in line for inspection and admission.

Qu Yi sent Liang Kangsheng outside the examination room, and watched Liang Kangsheng carrying a basket towards the examination room, he bit his lower lip, with worry in his eyes that he couldn't hide.

In his previous life, Liang Kangsheng suffered a serious illness just after taking the government examination. Although in this life he didn't drink any medicine and paid much attention to physical exercise, Qu Yi felt worried when he thought of the drafty environment in the examination room.

When Qu Yimu sent Liang Kangsheng into the examination room, Zhuang Qingze hurried to Liang's house, and after entering the door, he asked loudly: "Sister, last night I suddenly remembered that I will go to the house for the exam soon. Where is Kang Sheng? Is he not in good health this year?" Are you going to take the government test?"

"Why is this kid so careless about the government exam? He only gets one chance a year. If he misses it, he has to wait for next year. If he is unlucky, he has to retake the county exam..."

Mrs. Zhuang was walking slowly in the yard with Father Liang. Hearing Zhuang Qingze's voice from near to far, both of them had a hint of surprise on their faces. They both thought that their son had told Zhuang Qingze about the government examination.

Zhuang didn't think too much about her younger brother's words. She only thought that his younger brother was worried about Kang Sheng, so she helped Liang's father to sit aside and went out to pick up his younger brother.

Father Liang sat down with a frown. Although he was a little surprised that his son didn't tell his brother-in-law at first, he felt a little dissatisfied when he heard what his brother-in-law said about Kang Sheng's health, missed the government exam, and re-examinated the county exam.

The imperial examination in Dayu is divided into four levels. The highest level is the palace examination in the palace hall of the capital. It is held every three years. Those who pass the examination are called Jinshi.

The second is the rural examination held in the capital, which is held every three years, and the students who pass the examination are called Gongshi.

The third is the township examination held in the provincial capitals of each province, which is held every three years, and the students who pass the examination are called Juren.

Finally, there are college examinations, government examinations, and county examinations held in the provincial capitals, prefectural cities, and county towns of each province. They are all held every year, from low to high, and students who pass all three exams are called scholars.

Because it is necessary to pass three consecutive exams to be a scholar, in order to make it less difficult to be a scholar, the imperial court stipulated that the validity period of the county test and the government test is three years.

In other words, if a student passes the county test in the first year, he can take the government test for the next three years, and if he fails the next three government tests, he has to retake the county test.

The government test is the same, after passing this government test, there will be three chances to take the hospital test next time, if you fail, you need to retake the government test.

Liang Kangsheng passed the county examination the year before last, and he failed the government examination last year because he was unwell before the exam. If he doesn't pass the government examination this year, he will only have one chance next year.

Liang's father has always had no requirements on Liang Kangsheng's studies and what level he can pass in the scientific examination. His son wants to study and take the scientific examination. He supports him. If he can pass the examination, he can take the examination. , never say discouraged words.

Father Liang wanted to accompany Liang Kangsheng himself to the government test last year, but he couldn't get away because there was an emergency in the winery, so he asked his wife and brother to help.

Father Liang suddenly had a guess, whether his brother-in-law said similar frustrating words when he accompanied his son to the government examination last year, which affected his son's mentality.

But thinking about his wife's brother's concern for his son, Liang's father shook his head and put this thought behind him, thinking that his wife's brother should not be like this.

Outside, Zhuang Qingze met Zhuang Shi, and Zhuang Shi whispered about Liang Kangsheng's going to take the government examination, but Zhuang Qingze couldn't hold back the expression on his face.

Perhaps because he was too surprised, Zhuang Qingze couldn't hold back and blurted out: "How can I let my nephew Lang accompany Kang Sheng to Fucheng? I'm afraid he has never been to the county town before. If he goes to Fucheng, he may have to let Kang Sheng take care of him."

He said this in a more tactful way. What he really wanted to say was that Quyi, a country boy, might not be able to tell the difference between the south, the west, and the north after he went to Fucheng. Wouldn't it be a waste of help to let him go?

Seeing that Zhuang Qingze was worried, Father Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, little brother. I discussed it with your sister. Kang Sheng is already married. It's just going to Fucheng to take part in a government examination. It's not a big deal. The two young people just go there." .”

Zhuang Qingze disapproved all over his face: "Brother-in-law, anyway, I don't worry about my nephew. Kang Sheng is my own nephew. No matter how busy I am, I will put aside my work and accompany him when he meets such a big event as taking part in the government examination." If he goes, it will only take a few days."

Originally, Zhuang Qingze remembered that Liang Kangsheng was going to take the government exam, but because he always thought that he was the only choice to accompany Liang Kangsheng to the capital city, so he subconsciously ignored it, thinking about waiting for Liang Kangsheng to come to ask for help.

As a result, after waiting until this moment, Zhuang Qingze felt a little weird when he came to the Liang family and asked Liang Kangsheng that he had been accompanied by Qu Yi to take part in the government examination.

Every time he came to Liang's house a few times ago, he would feel a little weird. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but the feeling was different from before.

Mrs. Zhuang obviously felt that the views of the husband and the younger brother were inconsistent, and she quickly stood up and said: "It's okay, it's okay, their young people will grow up and leave us elders one day. When I first married my husband, the two of them supported each other step by step. Those who come here have experience by groping."

When the Zhuang family married Liang's father, it can be said that he was married down. The Liang family had an accident a few years ago, leaving only the young father of Liang. It was very difficult for him to manage the winery.

With the large dowry brought in by Mrs. Zhuang, the winery was able to breathe and support it. It was also because of the support of his wife, Mrs. Zhuang, that Father Liang kept the winery from being divided up by others.

Zhuang's parents would choose Liang's father, because Liang's winery is a land-based business, and their Zhuang family all work on ships. Although they are rich, they work hard. They don't want their daughter to live like this.

Later, Zhuang's parents had an accident on the boat, leaving only Zhuang's younger brother, Zhuang Qingze.

Father Liang was very grateful for the help of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he tried to find a job for his wife and brother on land, and sold him the high-quality wine from the wine shop at a low price, and the wife and brother sold it to make money.
