[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Needless to say, after returning home, there was a lot of excitement, but the Wang family quickly returned to calm. After all, it is not the time to be happy. A few days later, it will be the palace examination again. Whether Jackie Chan is an adult or not, it depends on this dynasty.

At this time, there is no need to mention any reading, and it is useless for now, so it is better to do something else.

During the few days of waiting here, Wang Yue either learned riding and archery with the guards sent by Tu Hui, or went to Lin Qing to learn palace etiquette with the father-in-law next to his wife.

Although he had learned some before, but he didn't study carefully when he came here, and he was young at that time, so he didn't ask too much, and he didn't require complete etiquette, as long as he was not too rude, it was enough.But now it is different after all.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at them from all over the court, and every slight move was eager to be analyzed under a microscope, and he didn't know how many people's eyes he had offended, so he had to be more careful.

What's more, it doesn't cost much to be polite, and he is going to the court that pays most attention to etiquette, so he can't be too cautious.

After a few days, it was the day of the palace examination, and before dawn, Wang Yue was already called up by the servant outside the door.

Today he is staying at the teacher's house. Princess Street is close to the Imperial Palace. It will save a lot of time to walk from here, and it will allow him to sleep a little longer in the morning, so as not to lack energy during the palace exam, which will affect the exam.

Because there is a palace examination today, today's court meeting can be regarded as a big court meeting. Many officials who usually don't go to court and only hold idle positions or titles also came, and Lin Qing naturally went too.

After all, it was his apprentice's big day, so he always had to be present to watch before he could rest assured.

After being waited on and washed, the master and the apprentice changed into brand new clothes and were tightly surrounded by capes before being sent out of the mansion by Princess Shuxian.

The carriage traveled all the way, and many carriages gathered on the road, gradually forming a rather spectacular torrent. The torrent gathered all the way in front of the palace gate, and gradually stopped. The master and apprentice got off the carriage and separated, going to different places. place.

Outside the palace gate, there are special eunuchs waiting for the candidates who came to take the palace examination. This father-in-law and the others are already very familiar with them. In recent days, these candidates have been gathered in the Ministry of Education to study with this father-in-law to meet the emperor. etiquette.

Not long after, the examinees gradually arrived, and the gate of the palace became lonely. All the ministers who came to participate in the court meeting had already entered the palace gate. They entered through the side door, and these candidates could only be brought by their father-in-law. Enter through the corner door on the other side.

Many young people among the candidates look up enviously at those ministers who can enter the palace gate openly. It is not easy to come to the court meeting. Some of them may only have this chance to step into the palace gate once in a lifetime. After that, they didn't know how many Jinshi they could have this year, but they quickly turned their eyes away. After today, they also have this qualification.

Candidates did not go to the exam immediately, but were gathered in the side hall, searched first, and then someone identified the candidates one by one, so as to prevent anyone from daring to play tricks at this time.

After everything was ready, the examinees waited for a while, and heard three whips, and a eunuch shouted loudly outside: "Your Majesty is here!"

However, the court meeting had already ended, and the emperor brought all the officials to Wenying Hall.

Accompanied by this yell, the atmosphere among the candidates became anxious for a moment, and many candidates couldn't help becoming agitated. The father-in-law in the lead couldn't help lowering his voice, and scolded in a high-pitched voice: "What's your name? I forgot Is it a gift of learning?"

The young eunuchs who followed behind him also uttered reprimands. Immediately, the examinees quieted down. Although they were impatient with the arrogance of these eunuchs, everyone knew that they could not control this place.

After another cup of tea, officials from the Ministry of Rites immediately came over and led them to the main hall of Wenying Hall.

The imperial examination has begun.

The main hall of the Wenying Hall is very large, but even so, it cannot hold all the candidates and officials who came to watch the ceremony, so some candidates were unfortunately put down in the corridor outside the hall.

Wang Yue silently mourned for them for a moment, and soon rejoiced that his ranking was high enough, and it would not be his turn to sit outside the hall no matter what.

Think about the weather in Beijing at this time, not to mention that in order to prevent candidates from cheating, candidates are not allowed to wear cotton-padded clothes. Although they can wear a few more jackets, they are not as warm as cotton-padded clothes. Too bulky, so as not to cover up one's bearing, so that it is disrespectful in front of the saint, most candidates do not dare to wear too thick.

Therefore, when they learned that their seats were actually in the corridor, many candidates couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and some of them even turned pale with bad moods. Everyone knows what will happen when they encounter this unfavorable situation at this time. How big of an impact.

Although under normal circumstances there will be no candidates who drop out of the palace examination, but if they fall into the situation of being like a wife, anyone with some ambitions is not willing to fall into the top three.

But they can't help it, even if they have complaints, no one dares to have any objections, but Wang Yue noticed that there were a few young officials holding pamphlets standing outside, and they were seeing the candidates with strange faces Afterwards, he bowed his head and wrote quickly, obviously writing down their performance.

Thinking of the teacher's explanation before, Wang Yue understood that these candidates would not have any good grades.No matter how good the knowledge is, it is not the performance of a qualified official to be calm and self-sufficient when encountering problems.

Soon, the examinees were assigned seats according to the test numbers, and after an eunuch asked for an order, he announced the start of the test, and then officials from the Ministry of Education and the Imperial Academy came down to distribute the test papers.

The sound of the paper shaking was particularly obvious in the quiet hall. The examinees raised their heads a little, and they all paid attention to the test papers. They couldn't help but guess the content of the test papers in their hearts. The third rank is still the key to striving to be below the third rank for half a lifetime.

But Wang Yue couldn't help but secretly took a quick glance at the throne in front of the hall, his eyes were very good, even with just a quick glance, he could clearly see the smile on the emperor's face.

Wang Yue noticed that the emperor nodded slightly to him when he raised his head, as if smiling at him. From the smile, Wang Yue vaguely recalled that year when he treated this man as an ordinary elder to discuss painting together.

Probably seeing a familiar place, Wang Yue's heart suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It's just a test. After passing so many tests, will he still be afraid of this side?

The author has something to say: A patient passed away yesterday. She was fine in the morning, but she suddenly fell into a coma with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The teacher said that it was not very good, and there was no therapeutic significance. The family members hope that they can persist with the medicine and wait for her son to come back. , My teacher and I just entered the office to prescribe medicine, and the medicine has not been finished yet. Suddenly, I came over and said that I couldn’t do it. No matter how developed, sometimes people are still very powerless!
