Qianzhou Xuezheng was roped in to be the marking officer for this county examination. This operation...
Although Fan Yikuan was not a native of Anlu, he knew the knowledge of local scholars very well. With his qualifications, there was nothing wrong with him being recruited to mark papers. In terms of talent, knowledge and ability, he could not be a marking officer, let alone a marking officer.
The chief will do.
But the problem is...
It's a bit unreasonable that you have given up the errands of the prince's palace and gone to mark the exams. You are doing other things part-time with the salary of the prince's palace.
When Zhu Hao sat down, several children immediately focused their attention on Zhu Hao, completely ignoring Yuan Rulin who was taking the exam together.
"Zhu Hao, the question this time is not difficult, right? Tell us what the question is."
Zhu Si asked curiously.
"Yes, how did you write the article? Tell us..."
Even Jinghong looked at Zhu Hao with an earnest expression.
Tang Yin did not speak, but stared at Zhu Hao with bright eyes, as if waiting for Zhu Hao to tell what he had experienced in the examination room, which was regarded as a social practice lesson for Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao gave an overview of the exam, especially the two four-book essay questions.
Zhu Si's little eyes blinked, "They're all from The Analects of Confucius? It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Zhu San glanced at his younger brother: "I asked you to write, can you write the article in one day?"
Zhu Si thought for a moment and immediately shook his head.
Although he was the same age as Zhu Hao and had tried to write articles under the guidance of several gentlemen before and after him, it was obvious that he did not have the ability to write four-book essays to take the imperial examination, mainly because his academic progress was not that advanced.
Tang Yin brought a piece of white paper over and put it in front of Zhu Hao: "You memorize the articles written in the examination room and I will see if there is any merit."
"No need..."
Zhu Hao smiled and refused.
Tang Yin looked displeased, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded. From his perspective, he could naturally feel that Kuang Yang's name for these two questions seemed to indicate something.
"Rulin, your grandfather is also very concerned about your exam situation. If you want your family to feel relieved as soon as possible...or you want to prepare for the next few exams, you can go home first."
Tang Yin said to Yuan Rulin.
This is to send Yuan Rulin away.
There are some things that Tang Yin can only say when he is alone with Zhu Hao.
Yuan Rulin muttered: "I...I want to stay here...study seriously..."
Zhu Si asked: "Mr. Tang, if you fail the first county exam, will there be subsequent exams?"
Zhu San rolled his eyes at him: "Are you stupid? Of course not... If you pass the first test, you can take the government exam. In fact, it is equivalent to passing. If you fail... you have to wait until next year or the year after that to take the exam again... Mr. Tang
, you are not kind, don’t you want to teach little Yuanzi?”
"They are older than you." Zhu Si emphasized.
"Then call him Da Yuanzi..."
…
…
Several children were making a lot of noise.
Tang Yin asked them to review their homework with a straight face, and then called Zhu Hao into the yard.
Tang Yin said: "Zhu Hao, I told you before about the questions about the examiner's likes and dislikes in the imperial examination. Do you understand?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Of course I understand. Kuang Zhizhou's asking such questions not only reflects his emphasis on Neo-Confucianism, but also shows that he is loyal to the court and keeps a certain distance from Prince Xing's Mansion..."
"hehe."
Tang Yin felt like he was being treated as a villain: "It's good if you know...it seems like I'm worrying too much. I believe that with your talents and experience in the examination room, this county examination will be a success."
There is no problem at all, it just depends on the ranking. If you can get the county chief, basically the reputation of the student will be stable."
In the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, the first place in each county's examination, that is, the first place in several examinations, could almost guarantee the title of scholar.
"In other words, Fengyuan missed the county case leader back then..."
Tang Yin mentioned it again.
Zhu Hao is not sure about this matter.
Tang Yin said that Gongsun Yi missed out on being the first in the county case, which probably meant that he got the second place. If he could get the first place, Gongsun Fengyuan might not get married after taking the high school entrance examination, but could marry Jiao two years earlier.
Wife.
"Okay, you can continue to prepare for the exam. It's not for the next few county exams, but for the subsequent government and college exams. I'm going back first!"
After all, Tang Yin drank a lot at noon, so he was not absent from class today. Fan Yikuan was temporarily transferred to grade papers, which did not mean that he would stay and teach.
If he chooses to stay, it will seem like he is telling the palace that I have neglected my duty.
After leaving like this, the palace will only find trouble with Fan Yikuan if they pursue it. You are on duty, so even if you are transferred to mark the exam, can't you arrange things in advance?
…
…
Mr. Tang Yin is gone, so there is no point in Zhu Hao returning to class. It is not the time for him to attend class that day.
Besides, it's not too early.
He left the palace in a fairly good mood.
Instead of going anywhere else, he went directly to the theater to the west of the palace to find Yu San.
Yu San was surprised when he saw Zhu Hao: "Brother Hao, didn't you take the imperial examination today? Is this... the exam finished?"
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.
Yu Sandao: "If I had known earlier, I would have picked you up from Gongyuan. Do you think I can help you today? Do you want to find someone to accompany you back home?"
"Little Third Brother, what you said is too foreign... We are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. But I am not in a hurry to go back today. I want to go find Shopkeeper Ma. You can send someone to accompany me out of the city, and then you can go there in person.
I went to my house and told my mother that I won’t go home until the results of the county examination are released, lest the Zhu family cause trouble for me.”
Zhu Hao probably guessed that in order to prevent him from participating in the imperial examination, the Zhu family would find various reasons to make things difficult for Sanfangren.
If we can't steal your property, it's only natural to take our Zhu family's grandson home and train him as a martial artist.
Not even the government can interfere with the internal affairs of the Jinyiwei House.
Did you promise not to interfere with each other before? The promise is nothing! It means taking your son away. Do you have the ability to go to the government to sue?
Yu San quickly arranged manpower.
…
…
When Zhu Hao arrived outside the city, he went straight to the ferry shop and found shopkeeper Ma who had just finished negotiating an inventory and shipping deal with foreign merchants.
"Little boss, you take the county examination..."
Shopkeeper Ma came up and became concerned about Zhu Hao's imperial examination situation.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It seems that everyone knows about this, and I am always asked about it wherever I go...I have finished the exam, but I still don't know if I have passed it."
Shopkeeper Ma sighed: "My dear boss, to put it bluntly, even if you are very talented, you still have to work hard to study. Taking part in the imperial examination at your age... it's too early.
Not to mention, if you don’t put in more hard work..."
Zhu Hao raised his hand to interrupt Shopkeeper Ma's nagging: "Old Ma, we still have business talks between you and me. Someone will take care of my studies."
"Yes Yes."
Shopkeeper Ma is usually "spoiled" by Su Xigui. He always asks questions about everything and always likes to mix in his own opinions.
It's not malicious.
It's just that you don't know the situation and just make baseless comments. Do you think I have a lot of time and like to listen to your nonsense?
"I haven't asked about the situation of Ouyang's family in the past two days. If we count the time, there should be problems with the mirror one after another. Could it be that she ran away with someone?" Zhu Hao asked.
Shopkeeper Ma smiled and said: "The boat is in our hands. They can't run away even if they want to. They probably haven't discovered it yet."
The smile is a bit evil.
It seems to be saying that based on your experience, something should happen to the mirror. However, the new head of the Ouyang family has no business experience. It is estimated that there is no one watching the mirror during the transportation. I hope they will find it and report the news in time.
It is extremely difficult to pass it back. Who knows how many moths are hidden in the Ouyang family besides Mu Renqing?
"Then let me know if you have any news, and then give me a detailed report on the recent business situation. After the first county examination, you can save a few days and explain things well. If everything goes well...the next government examination
It is estimated that it will be completed not until April, but in March... Time is tight, and there will not be much time to take care of this..."
After hearing this, shopkeeper Ma wanted to remind him again.
I just said that you want to study hard, why do you still need to worry about business matters?
Besides, who gave you the confidence to think that you can pass the county examination smoothly despite such a wasteful study? Aren't you going to take the county examination this time to accumulate experience so that you can take the exam again next time? Do you really expect to pass it in one fell swoop?
"Little boss, I will take the accounts right now and call a few shopkeepers over... for a meeting!"
Apart from anything else, Shopkeeper Ma feels that Zhu Hao has a good way of managing the business.
Whenever I have nothing to do, I like to have a meeting with someone to summarize things in public. Everything is clearly listed and my performance is clear at a glance.
Even Shopkeeper Ma has to think about whether Su Xigui is better at business or Zhu Hao is better?
…
…
Zhu family.
Zhu Niang was in a restless mood that day and was listless in doing anything. She wanted to go out for a visit, but she didn't know where to go.
Aunt Li naturally knew that she was concerned about Zhu Hao's imperial examination.
The examination time was about to pass in the afternoon. Counting the time, Zhu Hao should be leaving the examination room by now. Zhu Niang ran to her husband's tomb and muttered again.
"Madam, Master Hao is not old. Even if he can't do it once, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't worry." Aunt Li quickly comforted him.
Mother Zhu knelt on the futon, looking extremely pious, with a hint of worry in her tone: "The Zhu family obviously doesn't want Xiao Hao to take the imperial examination. They want to manipulate our third family at will, and the most effective way is to attack Xiao Hao.
If he fails the county examination this time, the family will have an excuse. From now on... it will probably be difficult for Xiao Hao to take part in the imperial examination."
Zhu Niang understood the situation in front of her.
Zhu Hao took part in the county examination this time and had no room for failure.
After hearing this, Aunt Li quickly knelt down and prayed devoutly with her. Then she helped Zhu Niang up, and the two of them went to the yard outside.
"I don't know what kind of family we are, but they always bully us orphans and widowed mothers. We are all one family...why bother?" Aunt Li also felt that the Zhu family acted too domineeringly.
Just at this moment, Xiaobai hurriedly came to report: "Madam, I came over to the master's house earlier and said that the young master has finished the county examination and has returned to the palace at this time. He also said that he will not come back before the incident... so you don't have to worry.
"
Aunt Li was stunned: "Have you finished the exam? It was quite fast. That means Xiaohao did well in the exam... It's not even dark yet."
She has a real heart.
The exam time is not over yet. Since you can hand in the paper and leave the exam room in advance, it means you did well in the exam.
Zhu Niang said hurriedly: "Yu San hasn't left yet? Ask him to bring some changes of clothes to Xiao Hao. It's been a cold spring these two days, and the weather will change at noon. I'm afraid it will rain at night, so I need to add more clothes."
...Take out the four bundles prepared in the room, there are also new mattresses inside..."
