Chapter 136: Mid-Autumn Festival
(Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, so let’s meet the situation in advance!)
As the emperor tried to approach, the capital became more and more prosperous and lively.
Once every three years, there are many talents and knowledge. Thousands of scholars from all over the world come to Beijing and gather together. This is a grand event for the country.
The students all came to the list for the Golden List, and they were exhausted. After arriving in the capital, most of them stayed and rested, and some reviewed their homework, and few people went out to visit.
After passing the Jinshi exam, you can do whatever you want.
After returning from going out and returning to the Taoist temple, Chen Tang also turned on the hard study mode.
He is determined to win the test of the emperor in this exam.
If I had just come to Beijing for an exam at the beginning and had a relaxed mind, I would have completely changed my mind after meeting the bearded man.
The bearded man said that if he wants to save him, he must first pass the Jinshi exam.
This is equivalent to adding a necessary prerequisite.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Tang felt that the biggest possibility was that the fame of Jinshi was like an official, and he was restrained from the evil spirits of the Di Academy.
The aura of fame and officialdom really exists. After passing the imperial examination, the teacher's ghost did not dare to reach out if he wanted to touch the book of fame and fortune.
Although I don’t know what level of fame and honor of Jinshi will reach, I will definitely be much better than Juren.
In terms of status, a Juren can only be considered an alternate official. The so-called alternate means that if you have no connections, no human relationships, and no vacancy, you may never be able to become an official in your life; but the Jinshi is different. Even the worst three-level "same Jinshi" can basically get a ninth-rank sesame official. Although it is the last one, you will eventually enter the rank, not an "official" or "slave".
Chen Tang wanted to pass the exam in one exam. It was not safe to rely solely on the blessing of the genitals and humans. He also had to review and read, do a lot of questions, and write articles.
Now that he has money, he can live in a rental place near the Gongyuan. But after thinking about it, he still felt that the Taoist temple was pure and more suitable for reading and preparing for the exam.
So I continued to stay.
I just found some time to report to the Gongyuan, leave the address of the Taoist temple. If you have any questions, the Gongyuan can send someone to contact him.
In time and space without a mobile phone or an Internet, communication and connection between people is really difficult and inconvenient. After people go out, it is basically a suspense state of "life and death are uncertain".
"A letter from home is worth ten thousand gold" is by no means an exaggeration.
After arriving in the capital, Chen Tang wrote a letter asking the post station to send it back to Panzhou to Su Ling to report his safety. It has been more than a month since the past year, but I am afraid that it is still halfway.
...
The application stage for the Emperor's Examination in Gongyuan has gradually come to an end, and various statistics, registration and copying work are underway.
The emperor's examination today is quite different. Although it is a regular three-year regular course, because the emperor took pills and was healthy, he was very happy and might have performed a kind-hearted examination. Those who failed the exam more often were directly given a "Jinshi".
The so-called kindness is to be kind. Those who fail the exam repeatedly, especially those who are older, will be a great opportunity.
Generally speaking, those who fail the exam after exam are basically older. Most of them have lost their hope of being on the list, and their only chance is Enke.
However, the specific regulations have not yet been released, and only a lot of rumors have spread, which makes people move.
In a public room in the Gongyuan, the ancient master sat upright, meticulously.
On the cases in front of him, whether it is books, pens, ink, or other books, one by one, one by one, the decorations are neatly stacked, and there is no trace of disorder or distraction.
From this we can see that this is a very regular person.
"grown ups."
A deacon called respectfully.
In the Gongyuan, who doesn’t know the rules of Lord Gu? No overreach or offense is allowed.
"What's the matter?"
Lord Gu put down the brush in his hand and asked.
The deacon handed over a copy of the book in his hand: "This is the latest supplementary information for the students."
"good."
Lord Gu took it, the deacon bowed another time and walked out.
Turn on the volume and flip it very quickly.
He only cares about one person's information and depends on whether the other party has come to register.
"Um?"
Lord Gu's eyes flashed and saw what he needed:
"Fushan Fenguan?"
He tapped his fingers on the desk: "This guy has something to do with Fushan? So, it's a bit tricky..."
...
Time flies, passing by.
Today, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
Mid-Autumn Festival, a happy reunion.
However, there are also countless people living in this capital, alone in the city.
I miss my family more during the holidays.
However, many scholars were unwilling to be lonely after all. They made friends through literature, Mid-Autumn Festival poetry gatherings, and all kinds of famous things were popular. At night, there were feasts.
I can take the opportunity to relax.
The Taoist temple is as clean and cold as usual, and there is no festive atmosphere.
In the morning, a strange bird flew into the Taoist temple and landed on the hands of the Taoist Futu.
Chen Tang happened to see it and soon realized that the bird was not simple, and it was probably a special messenger used by Fushan Temple to convey information.
Birds fly faster than horses.
Chen Tang thought to himself that if there were flying birds delivering letters or sending letters, then his letter would have been passed to Su Ling long ago.
Obviously, the Taoist received a message or instructions. He came over and said to Chen Tang: "Scholar, I want to go out. Please help me watch this Taoist temple."
Chen Tang said: "Master Taoist, why don't you find a disciple after you have been practicing for decades?"
He wanted to tease him and could recommend himself if he had the chance.
The Taoist shook his head and shook it like a rattle: "Looking for an apprentice is like raising a son. It's so troublesome that I'm too lazy to serve him."
Chen Tang didn't expect him to answer like this, and there was no chance to say the following words.
After reading the two divisions of Panzhou and Beijing, I have a rough idea of the number of people in Fushan Temple. I don’t know if there are twenty people in the whole temple, but they are really declining. It is completely different from those novels, where a small sect is casually composed of hundreds of people.
Well, the world is different and cannot be compared.
Perhaps, there are not many people who are suitable for practicing Taoism; or, they attach great importance to the matter of preaching the Dharma, rather than being insignificant than being indiscriminate.
This is the real situation of the cultivation circle.
"How long will the Taoist priest go out?"
Chen Tang asked.
If the Taoist is not here, it will be difficult to make delicious food.
"It's fast for three to five days, and it's slow for three to five months..."
The Taoist answered casually.
Chen Tang blinked, speechless.
The Taoist smiled and said, "What do you want to do, just close the door and go out."
Chen Tang knew that Taoist temples were unusual and no one would dare to make trouble and sneak around at any time.
The Taoist said, and shook his sleeves and left in a very simple manner.
Chen Tang had the only one left to celebrate the festival alone, and it was not easy to find someone to talk to. He sighed and thought to himself: Otherwise, at night, he would join in the fun, attend some poetry parties, recite poems, write lyrics, and become famous by the way?
