Chapter Thirty-Four: Take the Exam
The rules of the prefecture and county examinations are similar, and there will be no big difference in registration, insurance settlement and examinations. The only difference is that the examination room is held in the tribute court of Ningbo Prefecture, and the chief examiner is the prefect.
Compared with the county examination, the government examination requires more content, which takes four days to take the exam, and the quilts for accommodation are also provided by the examination room.
It is said that the quilts there are stinking, and Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but tremble when he thought of being imprisoned in the examination room for four days.
It should be similar to a pigpen there.
Since that's the case, of course you have to prepare before this, for example, if you eat a few more meals, just treat it as a slaughtered meal.
In fact, after coming to Ningbo, Ye Chunqiu was given care of Huang Jing in his daily life. Even the money he had stayed in the inn, Huang Jing paid in advance. Uncle Huang Shi was also very sophisticated, but since he had benefited from others, Ye Chunqiu was still grateful to him.
On the day of the exam, Ye San got up early and rushed into the Gongyuan transformed by the Confucian Temple with Kaolan and Ye Chunqiu. At this time, the hour of the dynasty was not yet here, so there were not many candidates. After all, a group of people had been sold out in the county examination, and there were only a few hundred people qualified to participate in the Gongyuan examination. The sky was very dark, and only two torches were lit in front of the Gongyuan gate, but they only illuminated the night sky.
Ye Chunqiu took Ye San's Kaolan, sent him back, and checked the letter of guarantee in his arms again. Ye Chunqiu was just waiting in the crowd.
"Cousin, you came very early." Ye Chenliang's voice came from behind.
Ye Chunqiu ignored him and continued to look forward to it.
It must be that Ye Chenliang did not receive Ye Chunqiu's response, and he was also embarrassed. Then Ye Chunqiu heard his voice again: "Brother Chen, it's about to be a moment..."
Chen Rong's voice said, "Oh." The answer was neither salty nor light.
Ye Chunqiu seemed to feel a gaze on the back of his head, and then he heard Chen Rong say with a smile: "Oh, the Chunqiu Brother, the first person in the palace test, is here, and the Chunqiu Brother, will definitely win this time."
After he finished speaking, Ye Chunqiu suddenly felt that he had become the target of public criticism in the darkness.
These little kids know how competitive they are, which is really annoying.
Chen Rong smiled mockingly again and said, "I didn't expect that the head of the mansion trial this year actually came from Fenghua. The Chunqiu Weishi is so admirable. In the future... I would like to ask Chunqiu Weishi to support me."
A funny guy……
Every time Chen Rong talks sarcastically, the people next to her will laugh, and then look at herself with all kinds of malicious eyes.
Ye Chunqiu was very annoyed. He was in public. Can't you shut up?
"Brother Chunqiu..." Chen Rong was about to say something, but even the few friends next to her were ready to burst into laughter.
But at this moment, Chen Rong's eyes were in the darkness, and Ye Chunqiu actually came to her. Ye Chunqiu put down Kaolan, bowed deeply to Chen Rong, and then looked up. In the darkness, Chen Rong only saw Ye Chunqiu's pure smile that was still harmless, and his eyes were clear and there was no impurity.
Then Ye Chunqiu said, "It turns out it's Brother Chen. If Chunqiu was the leader of the high school case, I would probably thank Brother Chen for his auspicious words. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Chunqiu reads poetry and books well..." Speaking of reading poetry and books well, Ye Chunqiu's face instantly blushed. Oh... he will blush even if he lies. It seems that I am really pure.
Of course, others could not notice Ye Chunqiu's strangeness, but many people held their breath and listened to Ye Chunqiu continuing: "Besides, they were highly expected by their relatives in their families. This trial was determined to take the lead in the case."
Many people were going to make fun of laughter, but they froze at this moment.
Who was present, who had never studied hard, and who was not highly expected by his family? Do you laugh at Xiao Chunqiu's toad for wanting to eat swan meat? Do you don't have such an idea? Isn't mocking him just laughing at yourself?
Chen Rong's face was gloomy. He seemed to feel the change here, and said, "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, my brother is full of confidence, the first prefecture in Fenghua County will be born, so I am very happy to be born."
It is clearly a challenge to the conflict between the people of Yin County and the people of Fenghua County. Now Yin County people are at home in the palace examination, with home advantage, and the most candidates are also the ones. Chen Rong deliberately caused trouble to the east and wanted to form a united front.
He paused and said with a smile: "But people always have to be aware of themselves, for fear of losing their hooves and being too full of words in front of them. After the results are released, it will be difficult to end."
Ye Chunqiu said with a pure face: "There are self-knowledges. There are countless heroes in Ningbo Palace. How dare Chunqiu ignore everyone? But..." The clay man was still angry. He looked at Chen Rong with disgust and said seriously: "But you have to be better than Brother Chen. If Brother Chen is not convinced, just take the exam well, otherwise... I will say coldly and say more, it is useless."
Don’t talk nonsense, just suppress me in the exam room if you have the will, otherwise, shut up!
It was a bit too much for a ten-year-old boy to say such words, but many people could hear Chen Rong's provocation. Except for a few people who are good at Chen Rong laughing a few times and showing disdain for Ye Chunqiu, the others were just watching the scene coldly.
Chen Rong was furious and couldn't help but say, "Hmph, Fenghua's savage... walk and see."
Foolish.
Ye Chunqiu shook his head in his heart, Chen Rong was trapped.
Although Ye Chunqiu's words were aggressive, they were just targeting Chen Rong. He was deliberately trying to make Chen Rong furious. Chen Rong was a Fenghua on the left and a savage on the right. This is actually easy to understand. The exam has not yet begun, and Ye Chunqiu and him are both the head of the case, so he has no advantage. The only advantage is that he is a "city man" in the territory of the palace. Ye Chunqiu could almost predict that after angering this fool, he would definitely use this to attack.
But... Ye Chunqiu had already left quietly, too lazy to pay attention to his regional attack.
The faces of the people who were laughing just now were pulled down. Everyone had the habit of laughing at the toads for wanting to eat swan meat, but now... Damn, I am a native of Fenghua, I am still from Cixi, you are from Yin County, amazing?
When he arrived on the other side, Ye Chunqiu continued to wait, but someone pulled his sleeve behind him. Ye Chunqiu looked back and saw that this candidate, who was nearly thirty years old, looked familiar. Wasn’t it a child who was mingled with his elder brother during the county exam?
"Chunqiu..." The man smiled and lowered his voice with kindness: "Take a good exam."
"Well..." Ye Chunqiu looked at his jaw.
When I saw this person, I laughed at myself who could not even recite even when I was studying. But now, when I looked at myself, I felt a little resentment towards Chen Rong and encouraged Ye Chunqiu.
