Chapter 0110 study, trade, imperial examinations(1/2)

Although Jia Yun doesn't know much about the situation between North Korea and China.

But he also knows that there is no Donglin Party in this world, and naturally there is no Qingshan Party.

Even if it exists, it is probably still in its infancy and has not really become a climate yet.

However, there are many political factions in the court that are formed due to geographical relationships, such as the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, the Kun Party, the Xuan Party, etc.

These parties only use their own people and not anyone else.

Not only did they not use it, they also found excuses to frame people from other parties and criticize each other, making the whole court full of chaos.

Even so, the combined power of these parties in the government is not very strong.

Nowadays, the people in the DPRK who can really influence the situation of the DPRK are the old noble group of four princes and eight princes headed by Wang Shuirong of Beijing County, and the new noble group headed by Prince Zhongshun.

Behind both sides stands one the Supreme Emperor and the other the New Emperor, representing different interests.

Therefore, until these two forces decide the outcome, other political forces can only stand aside. The faster they jump, the faster they will die.

Although Jia Yun wondered why so many high-ranking officials from the imperial court came to Qingshan Academy, with his current status, he was obviously not qualified to inquire.

So he calmed down his mind, stopped thinking about things, and followed Zhao Jin to see the mountain chief.

However, what happened next was beyond Jia Yun's expectations.

He met the mountain chief, but only met him face to face. Then the mountain chief handed him a piece of paper with a paragraph written on it, and then asked Zhao Jin to take him to the next room to write an eight-legged essay.

Jia Yun was confused, thinking that this might be a test for him, so he sat down and wrote honestly.

Before writing the article, Jia Yun thought to herself: "If you want to teach scholars to pass the examination, the teacher must have the title of Jinshi, and the academy cannot treat top students with caution."

Top students are valued no matter which college they are in.

There are a lot of scholars and so on, but the candidates are different. They are already qualified to be officials and are very valuable. The real results of the academy are the number of students who pass the examination in each provincial examination.

The greater the number, the more people who are likely to pass the Jinshi examination in the following year, the greater the reputation and prestige of the college, and the wider the source of students.

The purpose of allocating resources to establish top talents first is to ensure stability.

After the assessment, the academy first selects the top students among the scholars who are likely to succeed in the examination, and gives them priority in resources before taking care of other students.

Therefore, Jia Yun paid special attention when writing the article, directly treating this assessment as a provincial examination, holding herself to high standards, and at the same time looking at her own quality.

Time passed slowly, and it was not until the sunset that Jia Yun finished writing an article.

This is the most immersive article he has written since he came to this world.

If he can't pass the examination with this article, then there is no need to take the provincial examination again this year to avoid the embarrassment of going there.

After leaving the room, Zhao Jin was no longer there, and a seven or eight-year-old book boy was guarding the door.

After the scholar greeted Jia Yun, he said, "Senior brother, just put the examination paper back to its original place. Someone will come over tonight to review it overnight. When senior brother comes tomorrow morning, he should know under which gentleman he will go to school."

After Jia Yun put the examination papers back in their original positions and came out, the book boy locked the door and sent Jia Yun out of the hall.

As we walked down the mountain, the air contained warmth, and the heat on the ground spread to the soles of our feet through our cloth shoes.

The sky is blue, the brilliance of the setting sun slowly fades, the mountains are green, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and flowers.

Jia Yun walked to the dormitory unhurriedly. Although she had gone through a big exam, she felt particularly calm.

This is not because he has blind confidence in the test results, but because he has gained confidence after passing on the knowledge of the Wisdom Fruit.

When they arrived at the dormitory, they saw Zhou Kun leaning against the door, biting a piece of grass, looking bored.

Jia Yun invited Zhou Kun to drink in the village. Zhou Kun shook his head and said, "I won't go today. I brought a letter home and asked my family to send some maids over tomorrow, and then I will move to your village."

Jia Yun said: "Okay, this matter is settled, we must move there tomorrow!"

Since it was getting late, Jia Yun didn't delay any longer. After making an appointment with Zhou Kun, she went straight down the mountain.

After the sun went down, the town at the foot of the mountain became lively. Jia Yun walked straight in along the street. After walking a short distance, she turned around and entered a small alley, and then stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard.

The small door was closed tightly, and Jia Yun knocked gently.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, revealing Suyun's delicate and beautiful face.

"Brother Yun!" Su Yun's face was filled with joy, and she was at a loss for words with excitement. Then she shouted excitedly into the room: "Grandma, come out quickly. Grandma, Brother Yun is here!"

Jia Yun laughed and said: "Long time no see, Su Yun, you are becoming more and more charming."

Su Yun smiled away, took a few steps back, let Jia Yun in, and then closed the door.

As soon as Jia Yun arrived in the courtyard, she saw Li Wan trotting out of a room in a hurry, looking both excited and excited.

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Slower, slower, don't fall!"

Li Wan seemed not to hear, but ran faster. After running a few steps, he rushed over and threw himself into Jia Yun's arms. He hugged him tightly, closed his eyes, and couldn't help but say:

"The surprise came so suddenly. Didn't you dream?"

Jia Yun patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Are you dreaming this broad daylight? But you are holding me like this right now, aren't you afraid that Brother Lang will see you?"

Li Wan shook his head in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, you came at the right time. Brother Lan went to play at a classmate's house today and won't come back until tomorrow."

Jia Yun nodded, picked her up by the waist, and said to Su Yun next to her: "Girl Yun, lead the way!"



Jia Yun hugged Li Wan, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Baochai would like to invite you to be a guest at Zhuangzi. How about you come with me today?"

Seeing Li Wan's hesitation, he added: "We always have to meet her. It will be good for us to get along with each other in the future if you establish a good relationship with her. It is quite generous of her to take the initiative to ask you over. You can't

hesitate."

Li Wan stuck out his tongue, licked his dry lips, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of your enemy, I will go down low and make a living, and meet Miss Bao!"

Jia Yun knew that no matter what she said, she was still the grandma of the Jia family. She seemed to be willing to risk herself if she could say such words. So she tightened her waist and whispered: "After passing the test, you can come to my house from now on."

convenient."

"Well, the Nu family doesn't want to spend this kind of hiding life." Li Wan said weakly, "You go and accompany Yun Yatou. She is a yellow girl who follows you, and her feelings for you are deep and pure."

Jia Yun nodded, put Li Wan down, and went to comfort Su Yun again...

As night fell, there was finally a slight breeze in the air.

On the carriage, Jia Yun took Li Wan and Su Yun's hands and asked Li Wan, "Didn't you bring any other servants with you when you came here?"

Li Wan smiled and said: "I brought a few rough ladies with me. Because Lan'er went to a classmate's house, my family was worried, so I sent them to follow her and watch."

Jia Yun laughed and said: "What you are doing is funny. If there is a maid, you will not send it, but you will send a rough envoy and a woman to follow. What does it sound like?"

"The slave family is thinking about Lan'er and don't want him to lose his health too early." Li Wan pursed his lips and said.

At the beginning, Li Wan's husband Jia Zhu also passed the examination as a scholar, but he was greedy for women, and the pressure of the scientific examination was too great, so he was weak and died of illness at a young age.

Jia Yun said: "Exercising the body is also very important. If you let him run around, he will be energetic."

Because we were riding in a hired carriage and it was night time, it was quite slow to go back.

After arriving home, Xue Baochai took Li Wan and Su Yun to the back house to talk, while Jia Yun took a bath and changed clothes under the waiters of Xiang'er and other girls.

After he went to the back house, he found that Xue Baochai and Li Wan were talking and laughing and getting along in harmony, so he felt relieved.

A night of silence.

The next day Jia Yun went to the academy early.

As for the master and servant Li Wan, just ask the servants at home to send them back in the afternoon.

Qingshan Academy, Middle Court.

Jia Yun saluted Xiao Wenchang. From today on, he will learn the eight-legged art from Xiao Wenchang.

Qingshan Academy is divided into three branches: upper, middle and lower.

Among them, the Lower Court mainly teaches students without academic merit, the Intermediate Court teaches students with the reputation of being a scholar, and the Upper Court teaches students with the reputation of being a scholar.

There are only about 300 students in the Intermediate School. Among them, including Jia Yun, only 16 are top students, and they all study under the name of Xiao Wenchang.

Xiao Wenchang is a serious Jinshi. He is only in his thirties, so he is considered a very young Jinshi.

As for why he did not become an official, but instead stayed at Qingshan Academy to teach, this can only be said that people have their own ambitions, and Jia Yun does not know the specific details.

When Jia Yun met with the mountain chief yesterday, the mountain chief once said that he didn't need to wear belts to repair, and the academy would give him ten taels of silver every month to ensure that he could live a worry-free life.

But today Jia Yun came over and brought a fine ink stone to Xiao Wenchang.

Xiao Wenchang accepted it with a smile on his face. Humanity and sophistication are needed everywhere. If he really listened to the chief's words and took nothing with him, he would be studying in Hutu.

After Xiao Wenchang played with the inkstone for a while, he said: "You came last. Regarding some techniques for writing eight-legged essays, others have learned them, but you have not."

"So in the next month, in addition to writing three articles a day like everyone else, you will also come to my lecture for half an hour. I will make corresponding adjustments based on your learning progress."

The benefits are immediately apparent!

Jia Yun asked about the previous students, those who came later would go directly to those who came first to ask for notes.

But here, Xiao Wenchang had to give lectures to Jia Yun himself, which was not as effective as reading other people's notes.

So starting from the second day of June, Jia Yun went to listen to Xiao Wenchang's lectures every morning. After listening to the class, Xiao Wenchang would assign him three topics, and he would write three eight-part essays according to the topics, and then submit them to Xiao Wenchang for review the next day.

After all, Xiao Wenchang is a second-class Jinshi, so he naturally has profound skills. Even though Jia Yun has inherited the wisdom fruit and has a lot of knowledge, he is very immature in the skills and methods of writing eight-legged essays.
