Chapter 838 Xu Jiazi

County Magistrate Fang was one of the invigilators. After the exam started, he led several clerks and government officials to patrol the examination room. After patrolling for nearly an hour, he returned to the main room in the front yard and bowed to Magistrate Zheng: "Your Excellency. "

He then saluted an old man in the room: "Ma Jiaoyu."

Ma Jiaoyu is one of the imperial edicts from the government school. He was ordered to come to the county government office to invigilate the examination.

However, Ma Jiaoyu is famous for being easy to talk to and understands his status. He is only responsible for accompanying the invigilator and will not do anything arrogant.

Ma Jiaoyu was kind-hearted and an old scholar. When he heard the words, he nodded, cupped his hands, and bowed to Fang County Prime Minister.

Magistrate Zheng looked at Fang County Cheng and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Fang."

Fang Xiancheng shook his head: "It's just a proctor, it's not hard work. The hard work is on the candidates."

Magistrate Zheng saw that he was feeling emotional and asked with a smile: "Master Fang, are you thinking of your own scientific examination?"

Fang Xiancheng nodded: "It was difficult at the time, and it's still scary when I think about it now. It took one test after another, with no end in sight."

The county examination is just the beginning of the imperial examination. After the county examination, there will be government examinations and college examinations. Only those who pass the college examination can become a scholar and be considered a true scholar.

After being admitted as a scholar, you also have to pass the exams for Juren and Jinshi. There is really no end to it and it can exhaust you to death.

Magistrate Zheng smiled: "Mr. Fang is already a leader in the imperial examination, and most of them are those who have passed the examination but have turned gray and failed to reach high school."

After hearing this, Fang County Magistrate smiled sheepishly and said, "My lord, I am so complimentary. It is not as good as my family. There are only so many famous people in my family."

The Zheng family in Jinling is a wealthy family and has been an official since hundreds of years ago. There is also a clan school in the clan. When the children of the clan reach an age, they can attend the clan academy and study for free.

Magistrate Zheng smiled and did not say much about the affairs of the Zheng clan. Instead, he asked Magistrate Fang: "Does Mr. Fang see any descendants of the Xu family?"

The Xu family is a large family in Tianfu County. The family owns numerous fields and runs many shops. However, the Xu family does not seem to have any official luck. Although the family is wealthy, several generations of them have been white.

Mr. Xu has been looking forward to it day and night, and finally he is looking forward to Xu Zhaoming, his golden grandson. He is waiting for Xu Zhaoming to go to high school in one fell swoop.

Fang Xiancheng nodded: "I have seen him. He is handsome and well-mannered. I heard that he is a student of Honghu Academy in Jinling. He has been working hard for many years. I am just waiting for this time to win a small three yuan and become famous in one fell swoop."

Ma Jiaoyu didn't talk much. When he heard this, he said: "Honghu Academy is a famous academy in Jinling. The students who can study in Honghu Academy are all proud. I think this young man from the Xu family is a capable person. I really want to come early." Saw his papers.

Little Sanyuan? Magistrate Zheng smiled, fearing that the Xu familys plans were in vain just because there was Gu Jinan this year.

He didn't know about other people, but he knew Gu Jinan very well. In the past three years, he has read a lot of Gu Jinan's policies and poems, and they are all excellent works. Different from the delicate and delicate works of Jianghuai and Jiangnan, the poems are very grand and have the majestic style of the north.

After hearing this, Magistrate Fang County asked, "My lord, it seems that Xu Jiazi will not be able to pass Xiaosanyuan?"

As the chief examiner of the county examination, County Magistrate Zheng naturally would not talk nonsense and said with a smile: "The papers haven't been marked yet, so I don't know whether he can do well in the examination. Besides, this little Sanyuan cannot be obtained by passing the county examination. It still depends on Government examination and college examination.

After saying that, Magistrate Zheng did not say any more, but stood up and said to Ma Jiao: "Let's go to the examination room."

Ma Jiaoyu nodded: "Well, it's time to go for a walk." He is here to invigilate the exam, and this is his responsibility.

Magistrate Zheng and Ma Jiaoyu, together with several scribes and a team of government servants, inspected the examination shed for more than half an hour in the cold wind of February, and then they were replaced by County Magistrate Fang. They took turns in this way without stopping anyone.

At midnight in the afternoon, Magistrate Zheng ordered people to beat drums three times and then began to light incense.

After the clerk finished lighting the incense, he shouted in the examination room: "The incense has been lit. When it burns out, the papers will be collected. I hope all the students will answer the papers and get their names sealed as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, the candidates were very nervous. Two timid candidates who had not finished writing the paper fainted.

The county soldiers rushed to notify Magistrate Zheng.

Magistrate Zheng shook his head when he heard this: "With this little determination, how can I handle things when I become a parent official? Write down your name and cross it out." "Yes." The county soldiers took the order and went away. The two candidates left the room and placed them in a room in the ceremony room. They waited for the gantry to open before throwing them out.

The incense stick used by the Yamen was very short, and it was burned out in less than a quarter of an hour.

~~!

The drums sounded again. Instead of the excitement when the exam started, there were bursts of dull and slow drumming.

When the drums sounded, Magistrate Xu, Magistrate Fang, and Ma Jiaoyu led the scribes and began to collect the papers in rows.

All papers are sealed by the candidates themselves. After the papers are graded and ranked, the county magistrate, county magistrate, and invigilator will tear the seals and open them together to strictly prevent fraud.

After working for another half an hour, I finished collecting all the papers.

The candidates watched their papers being taken away, as if their souls had been taken away, and they were uneasy.

Fang Xiancheng shouted at the candidates: "After the first test, all students will leave with the county soldiers. The retest will be held at Longmen tomorrow at 10:00!"

The candidates followed the county soldiers and left the examination shed. When they left the dragon gate, the sky outside had already darkened.

Outside Longmen, there was still a bustle of people, all of whom were family members or servants coming to pick up the candidates.

It was the first time for Gu Dashan and the others to take the exam, so they were very nervous. After sending Gu Jinan and the others into the examination room in the morning, they went to the Luo Family Escort Office to stay. They came here in a mule cart just before Youshi and waited until now.

Brother An, Brother An and the others are coming out. Zezi had good eyesight and saw Gu Jinan at a glance.

After hearing this, Gu Dashan and several other men hurried over. When they saw his son, their first question was: "How did the test go?"

Gu Jinan looked at Gu Dashan and smiled and said, "It's pretty good." The smile was relaxed, and he obviously did well in the exam.

Qi Kangming also looked relaxed and seemed to have done well in the exam.

Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian came here just to take the exam. Brother Gu Damu didn't even ask them. It didn't matter how well they did in the exam.

Gu Dexing was not so sure. He looked at Gu Dafu and then at Gu Dagui and said, "Dad, second uncle, I don't know if I can pass the exam."

Gu Dafu comforted him: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam."

Gu Dagui also smiled and said: "Yes, brother Xing, don't be afraid. If you fail the exam this time, we will try again next time."

"Bah! Why are you talking? If you can't say something auspicious, just shut up. Why can't you pass the exam? I have visited all the Taoist temples, mountain temples, and earth temples in the county. How can Brother Xing fail the exam? "Ms. Chen couldn't wait to be a scholar's aunt for a long time. She hated people saying that Gu Dexing couldn't pass the exam.

Gu Dagui was scolded and said quickly: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Stop scolding. Let's go home quickly, otherwise the city gate will be closed."

After hearing this, several families hurriedly flagged down Gu Jinan and the others in their mule cart, and rushed towards Dafeng Village, Qingfu Town.

They could have lived in the county town originally, but Gu Jinan and the others said that it would be more practical to live at home and not panic. Moreover, they had a mule cart at home, which could run fast, so it would not take long to go back and forth.

Gu Jinan and others returned home, and went to the county town to take the re-examination the next day.

The retest is the second test, and the test questions are much more difficult than the first test, while the third test is the second test, and the test questions are even more difficult.

Many candidates handed in half of the paper in the third exam, but Gu Jinan was able to do it with ease. After taking the exam for three consecutive times, he was still in high spirits.

After the third exam, Gu Jinan met Xu Zhaoming.
