The examination papers for the primary three levels are decided by the examiner, and the total amount is not too large. Therefore, unlike the provincial examination and the general examination, the procedures are cumbersome, and the speed of releasing the results is generally not slow.
A few days after the Taoist test was held in Chun'an County in the 14th year of Chenghua's reign, the results were released outside the county school examination room.
There are far more people who come to see the results than those who came to the county examination. There are not only reference children, family members and spectators, but also many professional people who see the results.
The so-called professional list readers all work in groups, ranging from a dozen to dozens of people. Some are responsible for squeezing into the circle to read the list, and some are responsible for holding pens and ink and red paper on the outside.
Once the name is given, the person who reads the list will tell the person's name and then write the message of good news on red paper. Then people who have been arranged in advance will alternate relays on each road and deliver the big red paper of good news to the center.
Visit the person's home and ask for reward money to make a profit.
The result of the Taoist examination is to produce a scholar. This is a serious claim to fame, and of course many people will take advantage of it.
After a few gongs sounded, two rows of petty officials and servants filed out of the gate of the county school and posted the announcement on the screen wall of the county school in full view of everyone.
Immediately, the crowd swarmed up and grabbed a vantage point to see the list. The next moment, the list was packed with people. At this time, Fang Yingwu was also on the scene, but he was not in a hurry to squeeze in. As a confident and confident person, he could not
It only takes a moment.
The crowd was so chaotic that Fang Yingwu, who was jostling with each other, could not stand firmly. He frowned and took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, he bumped into someone else. When he looked back, he saw that it was his old rival Mr. Wu Chuo and Mr. Wu, who had been pestering him all the way.
From the county test to the road test.
Fang Yingwu was in a good mood and felt very friendly when he saw Mr. Wu. He smiled and nodded. It would be a kind of fate if he could go to school with him.
But Mr. Wu's temper did not change. He was like a proud little rooster, raising his head and just looking in the direction of the announcement. Some of his servants went inside to look, and he waited for news outside.
Not long after, I saw Mr. Wu's book boy excitedly emerging from the crowd and shouting loudly: "I hit, I hit! It's the head of the case! Congratulations, young master, on entering school!"
However, Mr. Wu was very calm and his expression was more natural than Fang Yingwu's.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but glance sideways. This Mr. Wu is quite capable. Grandmaster Li, the academic officer in this Taoist examination, is relatively fair. He should not play tricks in the high-profile position at the head of the case. Mr. Wu can seize the case.
Being first is not easy.
Then I remembered that he was also the head of the government's case, so it seemed that this guy was very good at his craftsmanship. He was worthy of being an elite person sent by the Yunfeng Wu family, the largest imperial examination family in the county, to brush up the rankings. He was indeed extraordinary!
Fang Yingwu still has to admire people with real power. He won't get jealous when he sees someone who is more capable than him.
Seizing the county, government, and Dao three-level case head in a row is also a kind of three yuan. If he hadn't come out of nowhere and just snatched the county case head, wouldn't Mr. Wu have to seize the three yuan for small and medium-sized enterprises?
Mr. Wu probably thought of this and looked at Fang Yingwu with an unkind look, but he racked his brains and didn't know how to curse, so he turned to the book boy and said, "Has your friend Fang's name ever been on the list?"
The scholar replied: "I only saw the young master's name at the first place, so I didn't look behind."
"Go in and take a look again!" Mr. Wu shouted softly.
With a grimace on his face, the little book boy had no choice but to break into the crowd again and squeeze forward with all his strength. After a while, he fought his way out and reported breathlessly: "Back to the young master, there are five people on the list. The second name is
It’s the Huaxi Fangyingwu.”
Mr. Wu seemed to have finally found a breakthrough point. He curled his lips and said, "Can the county case leader be the second one?"
Faced with the harmless sarcasm, Fang Yingwu laughed dumbly and shook his head, not intending to argue with him. Anyway, he had gained the reputation of being a scholar and became an upright scholar, so what else was there to argue about? But this time the Grand Master really did
It was so harsh that only five people were allowed to pass.
He silently cupped his hands to Mr. Wu and was about to leave. At this time, several people were walking and talking. When passing by the two of them, a few words drifted into his ears.
"Fang Yingwu, who is so famous, is only the second best, tsk tsk." He wanted to say something but stopped talking.
"I heard that Fang Yingwu seems to be a close disciple of Shang Xianggong. Many people are optimistic about it. Why can't he even get the first place? Could it be that his performance in the examination room is abnormal?" This is the innocent and pure party.
"The person responsible for the crime came from the Yunfeng Wu family, which is the famous Yunfeng Wu family, so you understand" This is a conspiracy.
"You guys know nothing. It is rumored that the Grand Master was sent by Wan Shoufu. Of course, he will not look good on Shang Xianggong's closed disciples. If Fang Yingwu hadn't really been unable to brush up, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been on the list at all, but the first case
There is no more, but the Wu family picked up a suspect." This is someone who is well versed in the insider party.
"Yes, you see it is clearly written on the list. The second place Fang Yingwu is to supplement the first-class catering student, while Wu Chuo, the head of the list, can only serve as the second-class enrichment student. This shows that Wu Chuo's answer to the question is not as good as Fang's.
There's obviously something fishy in it." This is a detailed analysis party.
Several people walked over talking and talking, and Master Wu Chuo's face turned dark, as dark as a dark cloud.
He is so hard-working and diligent, why don't others think that he has outstanding strength and won the Taoist examination title by relying on his true ability to defeat Fang Yingwu? What does his achievement have to do with whether he is a member of the Wu family? What does it have to do with the bias of the great master?
As for the categorization of students and the expansion of students, they are just like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse! The great master only asked questions about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Book of Rites!
Fang Yingwu happened to be in charge of the Spring and Autumn Period, so he could write and answer questions silently; but he did not specialize in the Spring and Autumn Rites, so he could only rely on his extensive and strong basic skills to answer the questions barely relying on his impressions, but writing silently would definitely not work!
The rankings are based on the questions of the Four Books and have nothing to do with the questions of the Five Classics. How come these ignorant people dare to rant even though they don’t understand anything!
Mr. Wu was so sad, angry and aggrieved that he wanted to shed tears and didn't know who to talk to.
Fang Yingwu felt a little embarrassed, so he could only pat Mr. Wu on the shoulder and said sincerely: "This is not your fault, it is the whole world's fault.
Some rumors in the market are nothing to worry about. You are still young, so don’t take these slanders too seriously. The days are long, and I am optimistic about you. Next time, I will leave the important task of regaining Jieyuan, Zhejiang, to you for this county."
Mr. Wu didn't appreciate the flattery from the other classmate, and the joy of getting the head of the case suddenly disappeared. He threw up his sleeves and left angrily.
Fang Yingwu returned to his residence, which was Xiang Chengxian's house. Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian were sitting in the hall chatting. When they saw Fang Yingwu coming in, they all asked in unison: "What's your rank?"
"
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly and said: "The two brothers don't ask whether they are on the list, they only ask where they rank. Are you so sure that you can pass the exam?"
Xiang Chengxian joked: "Two days before the exam, someone who can secretly enter the county school and have a secret conversation with the great master can fail to pass the exam?"
Hong Song sighed with regret: "The customs are not the same, and the people's hearts are not the same. I don't know whether I should lean towards Fang Xiandi or stick to morality. I will search high and low."
Xiang Chengxian turned around and warned nervously: "Brother Hong, please don't jump into the river." Then he turned to Fang Yingwu and asked, "What number is it?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "Second, the head of the case is Yunfeng Wu Chuo."
"That's not bad. It's quite gratifying to have Wu Chuo as the head of the case. Also, did the Grand Master really marry you as his concubine?"
"Yes, it's stated on the list. There are five people on the list, and they all listed their grades after entering school."
Xiang Chengxian and Hong Song are both outstanding students, but they did not have the opportunity to reach the top immediately after entering school like Fang Yingwu. They only climbed up after taking the annual examination for two or three years. After hearing this, the two
He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to brother Fang Xian. We will be classmates from now on. We will have three of us to go together for the next provincial examination!"
But Hong Song said worriedly: "There are only twenty fixed places for the county's talented students. Last year, senior Fang Xie Yuan made one place available. Many people were eyeing this. This time, because of the intervention of the great master, brother Fang Xian was directly admitted.
If you lose your natural talent, I'm afraid some top students in the county school will be dissatisfied."
"A top student?" Fang Yingwu was stunned, and a familiar and friendly smell came to his face.
In the academic world in my previous life, I often heard the term academic tyrant, and his teacher could barely be considered one of them, and Fang Yingwu also worked tirelessly towards becoming an academic tyrant. But back in the Ming Dynasty, there can also be academic tyrants these days.
This word?
"You are about to enter school, and there are some things you should know. Brother Yu will give you a warning in advance." Mr. Xiang said earnestly: "The county school is divided into two major societies, namely the East Society and the West Society."
Fang Yingwu continued to be stunned, club? Is there such a term these days? Is he going to go to county school or join the underworld?
Xiang Chengxian continued: "Dongshe comes from the east of our counties such as Jinxi, Yunfeng and Fuxi, and Westshe comes from Weiping, Shufu, Xiaojinshan, Cixi and other places in the west of the county. This time I know
There is an old top student at Xishe who wants this natural quota, so be careful."
Fang Yingwu asked doubtfully: "Isn't there no top student in Dongshe?"
Xiang Chengxian was speechless for a moment, then smiled sheepishly, "I'm already a natural born, so you don't have to worry."
Hong Song said disdainfully, as if Mr. Xiang was not around: "These academic tyrants are extremely abominable. They don't seek to improve themselves. They only rely on their seniority to fool around in the county school. They specialize in taking exams, Gongsheng students, etc., to make some dirty money."
.
But brother Fang Xian, don’t worry, our Dongshe will take care of you when you enter the county school, so you won’t be bullied easily.”
Fang Yingwu was extremely distressed, "I don't seem to belong to Dongshe."
Xiang Chengxian smiled and said: "If Brother Fang Xian is ambitious, it is not impossible not to join a society. Brother Fool, I don't care. But in this world, literati associations are gradually becoming a trend, so it is better to comply with the custom."
Fang Yingwu sighed: "I come from Huaxi. Huaxi is in the west of the county. Wouldn't it be unfair to enter Dongshe?"
Xiang Chengxian laughed and said: "You have so many thoughts! Only after you joined Dongshe did we boost our morale!"
Fang Yingwu also smiled and said, "But brothers, don't worry, I don't care about being a top student. I won't offend others unless they offend me. If anyone wants to take advantage of me to gain prestige, he will be destroyed in a matter of seconds!"
"
Hong Song shook his head and advised: "Brother Fang Xian, it's better not to underestimate others. You will understand after you enter the county school." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
