Chapter 164 Li Tuiguan also wants to take the scientific examination
There were still ten days left before the hospital examination. Thousands of children had already moved into the guest house near Gongyuan of Suzhou Prefecture. The streets were filled with people making literary friends, looking for news, looking for connections, and taking the opportunity to do various businesses.
With so many people gathering here, it’s a lively area.
A house two alleys across from Gongyuan became popular for some unknown reason today, attracting a group of good people to take a look. They saw a plaque hanging at the door saying "Suzhou Prefecture Huabang Examination Institute". What is the Examination Institute?
Everyone knows that it has the same meaning as Gongyuan, but what is the Flower Examination?
There were also some servants who scattered the printed posters, and everyone around them got a copy, and everyone was amazed. It turned out that 12 local celebrities with leisure and money participated in the grand event, and they held the flower test according to the story of the imperial examination.
Famous prostitutes serve as candidates to determine this year's leading lady in the flower world, as well as the first, second and third rankings.
It was really an interesting thing, and everyone praised it.
The news spread and caused a sensation in the city overnight. It spread much faster than Li Tanhua's poems. It was indeed something new and unprecedented. I also heard that the style was modeled after the scientific examination, with the chief examiner and the keynote speaker. There would really be a large group of people by then.
Admission test for the delicate and graceful beauty like a flower branch.
Such a creative idea certainly came from the irritated Li Tuiguan. That day he gritted his teeth and told Zhao Daguan that he wanted to be the examiner, and that was what he meant.
With Zhao Liangli's temperament, how could he not applaud and praise the oiran again and again every year (just like one night in the 21st century), and he had no idea if he wanted to change the method. Now that Li Tanhua has made a move, it is indeed extraordinary. In other words, it seems that
Mr. Li was very angry with Shi Dashen this time.
However, Zhao Daguan was not without worries. He said to Li You: "Most of the women in brothels entertain people with sex and art. Among them, there are many so-called talented women who are proficient in writing, and it is better to recite poems and books. There are only two or three who are good at poetry and prose.
, the number of people taking the exam is so small, it seems like a joke. If everyone takes the exam, they won’t be able to write anything, how can they pass the exam?”
"The mountain people have their own clever ideas." Li You said confidently.
Zhao Liangli said suspiciously: "I always feel that you have a conspiracy."
Li You laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, then just give up."
Zhao Daguan still couldn't resist the temptation of this fun game. He was really well-connected, so he followed Li You's request and borrowed a house near Gongyuan to serve as a test court the next day. In Li You's words,
There are many people studying nearby, and things are happening lively.
There is a five-bay hall at the back of the courtyard, which was originally used for banquets. After a simple layout, it can be used as an examination room. Dozens of seats are enough for use. In addition, a dozen printers who can use wooden movable type were hired first.
Japanese stamps will be distributed at nearby shops.
It cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but it was not a problem. When Zhao Daguan climbed up and shouted, a dozen boring literati joined in the fun, and Song Wen, Koga Shinyuki and others came running over.
These people are all the leaders of the class who hang out in the fashion world, and the children of wealthy families who live in the world of wealth. They are all very interested in this matter. If there are any latecomers who want to join, they will not be accepted. If you are really interested, we can talk next year.
.
Together with Zhao Liangli and Li You, there were a total of twelve principals. The rich contributed money and efforts, and casually gathered hundreds of taels of silver and a dozen servants.
The situation seems to be good, but one thing makes Li You very worried. With so many people working together, it is true that more people can make a difference. But how to divide the work? Even if it is a game, a small examination room may not need many promotion officers.
When the twelve people were drinking tea and discussing matters in the lobby of the examination hall, when talking about the division of labor, He Shenzhi suggested: "Since there is no essay test, only poetry, the examiner is none other than Brother Li."
Zhao Liangli agreed: "It's absolutely true."
Li You was about to say a few words of humility, but everyone nodded in unison. No one objected, and they worked together to promote Li You to the number one position as examiner.
Li Tuiguan, who was originally worried that someone would compete for his seat, was surprised and thanked everyone for their support.
We are all convinced because of our reputation, and Li You is secretly pleased with himself. It seems that the division of labor is not difficult, and these people are still very humble.
The next step was to discuss the arrangement of promotion officers, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became inexplicably tense.
"The prosecutor has a heavy responsibility and is an important position in internal and external security. I am incompetent, so I dare to take on such an important task!" A fat young man slapped the case and said, although his words were righteous, his expression was really wretched.
Zhao Liangli retorted: "You are late, I have already made a reservation!"
"Is there no reason to make a reservation? I have given out two hundred taels, so I should choose first!" Another person was not to be outdone.
There was a huge quarrel for a while, and everyone was no longer as gentle and courteous as before.
Li You has been assigned the examiner's seat, and he can only watch from the sidelines. Suddenly he has an epiphany - the examiner can have close contact with the candidates to conduct a body search! And so on, roll call, collection of papers, inspection
Everyone has the opportunity to contact the candidates... If the candidates are beautiful, these are all popular professions!
So I could only grade the exam behind closed doors. No one wanted to be the examiner for the green light and yellow paper. It was too plain! Everyone had a tacit understanding and recommended it to Mr. Li, who seemed not to understand the real fun of the game. It was considered that everyone was using his talents.
This is a group of casual role-playing players who really enjoy the teasing process and focus on participating in the fun... Li You regretted with tears streaming down his face. He was the only one in the room who was only thinking about utilitarianism.
After the quarrel got dark, the professions were divided and a bunch of sub-jobs were set up. Twelve bosses and players formed a team to play the restaurant dungeon, and then dispersed.
These people probably never dreamed of what Li You would do with the flower trial.
First, according to the drawn up list, servants were sent to more than 30 famous prostitutes' homes in the city to deliver examination tickets. As long as they got the examination tickets, they could come to the examination hall on the day of the flower examination to be admitted.
Then people were sent to post the recruitment notices, stating that anyone who thought they were talented but did not receive an examination ticket could go to the examination hall for an interview and get an examination ticket. The recruitment notices were posted not only in the city, but also in all counties within two days.
.
It has to be said that these twelve people's joint names are simply a golden sign in the brothel industry. Their credibility is more effective than the prefect's seal. Those prostitutes who rely on fame for their livelihood definitely attach great importance to this unprecedented flower test. After all, the twelve celebrities
The position determined by the partnership is likely to be directly related to future reputation and worth, which is the most immediate benefit.
What should I do if I get the exam ticket but can’t write poetry? Then I have to bite the bullet and go to participate. All my peers have gone to such an industry event. If I don’t go, it won’t look like my taste is inferior to others. I can’t write.
Poetry can find ways to sell one's body and cheat, but which of the twelve principals doesn't like fish?
The top courtesans in each county also rushed to Fucheng, which made this flower test even more lively. For them, it was a rare opportunity to compete with their counterparts in Fucheng and make a name for themselves in Fucheng. If they don't go, it will be in vain.
.Besides, there are one or two hundred scholars in this county who are also studying for the exam, and many of them are wealthy and powerful, and they are not afraid of being unfamiliar with the place and having no support.
In the end, more than sixty people participated in the flower test, and all of them were powerful and powerful brothels. This shows the prosperity of prostitution in Jiangnan these days.
Everyone is paying attention, and things are getting hotter. However, with Li You here, the period before the flower test day is destined to not be calm.
