Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

When the Guibang was posted, the reporters were all in good spirits, and quickly took the newspaper and rushed to each house, so that they could ask for some silver rewards with a happy report.

Those who are stable and confident in their hearts are mostly in restaurants, inns, etc., waiting for people to report, but many people can't wait for them to announce the good news, and they squeeze under the list to see if they are not among them. It was Cui Xie who got up so early and ran so fast that he could only squeeze outside the third ring when he got the top spot.

He regretted not riding over, but he stood for a while, and the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth circle crowded up, and he couldn't even turn around. He no longer regretted it.

People are crowded like this, does the horse have a place to stand? He can't carry the horse on his head. If someone squeezes his little white horse away, he will regret it.

He waited comfortably from dawn to early morning when the gate of the Gongyuan finally opened, and several guards of the government came out from the inside and took a piece of yellow paper and stuck it to the wall.

The crowd boiled and rushed forward. Cui Xie asked people to squeeze forward and rushed a few steps, and then settled that he was no longer looking for a good place. Not far from him, someone called him loudly: "Brother Cui Xian!"

The voice is familiar, very excited, with a little accent that is unique to Qian'an County.

He turned his head subconsciously, his gaze swept across the crowd, and his eyes flashed to see the face of a vigorous young man-Zhao Yinglin, the grandson of Grandpa Zhao Zhao, their east neighbor.

This can be regarded as a stranger in another country?

Cui Xie waved his hand at him in surprise, lined up the crowds around him, and strode over to him and asked him: "Brother Zhao Shi has also come to participate in this imperial examination? Is brother Ling also here? Our two families are Old neighbourhood, why can't I come to my house when I enter Beijing?"

Zhao Yinglin was also full of excitement with a smile, and shook his head and said: "My brother entered the government school, just waiting to be admitted to the Imperial College, instead of coming to the scientific examination. I have come to learn more with my fellow villagers, and arrange early arrangements outside. Why bother to disturb you when you are too busy studying at the Imperial College. Master Cui went to another place again. The house is full of young, old, women and children. It is not convenient for a group of big men to live in your house!"

That said, there are acquaintances in Qian'an? So have the six talents who wrote about the Three Kingdoms come?

Zhao Yinglin nodded again and again: "Except for the three of Guo Juren who have passed the exam, don't others have to try again? Hey, you took the exam too fast, and you were born as a child at first sight. It seems that you will become the master of Juren, also called I'm sorry to see you if others are late."

Cui Xie looked at the list paper just posted, and said with a smile: "Where can I get late? We will definitely be on the list in this country test, and show the world that Qian'an is also a place for talents."

There was someone filling up the roster that came out of the courtyard one by one, and someone sang loudly next to him. At this time, he was singing: "The hundred and twentieth place, Lu Yuan, a native of Youlingsheng in Qianan County, Yongping Prefecture ..."

Lu An!

It was one of the six talents who commented on the Three Kingdoms!

The talented person who commented on the Three Kingdoms took the test of Juren, and his name became more stable, and their "Six Talented Scholars Version of Three Kingdoms" became more and more worthy of the name! What is the use of those twelve and eighteen talented scholars? They are not all the sages and folk Confucian scholars. It would be nice to find one or two juren, where can six critics like them and four juren ?

Looking back, I can use these Juren to make a wave of news and republish a Collector's Edition, Collector's Edition, Signature Edition...!

He was so excited that his eyebrows were about to fly, and when he looked at Zhao Shixiong, he stared at Huang Bang with two big eyes, wishing that the next student from Qian'an County would be the next one.

He quickly grabbed Zhao Yinglin's wrist and asked, "Brother Lu is also watching the rankings? Let's go and congratulate him." It doesn't matter if you are far away. With your own physical strength, you can squeeze Zhao Yinglin over there!

Unfortunately, Lu An is not there.

Those of them who have taken the test many times, those who are used to seeing the storm will naturally not wait at the top of the list like the young people who have not seen the test, but have to pack a good seat and share The scholars who took the test ate wine and chanted poems, waiting elegantly and reservedly for the newspaper to announce the good news.

But those who waited for the good news were not as early as what they had seen here. Zhao Yinglin stood up and slapped Cui Xie's arm: "After we finish reading the list, we will go over to have a drink. Maybe the newspaper hasn't arrived yet, they all have to wait for us to report it!"

After taking two shots, I suddenly realized something was wrong. He retracted his hand and took a closer look at Cui Xie. He also raised his hand and gestured: "You...you weren't as tall as me when you left Qian'an. What kind of medicine did you take these days? Why did it jump so fast?"

Cui Xie lowered his head and glanced at the heels of the two of them-he didn't wear the inner to increase the height for the convenience of running. The sole of Zhao Shixiong's shoes was about a finger thicker than his. Even so, he was not as tall as his. It's a lot longer.

Wait for next year, next year he can grow longer...

He lowered his head humbly: "Perhaps, I am busy preparing for exams these days, and I don’t pay much attention. In the first half of the year, Juanzhai published a set of imperial examination notes, which I wrote down during the Guozi monitoring class. Master Siye and Jijiu personally modified it. It is indeed useful. Did Brother Zhao see it?"

Speaking of scientific examinations, Zhao Yinglin suddenly forgot the question that his height was shorter than him, and replied loudly: "Since it is a must-read for the imperial examination, can I not read it? More than me, we scholars in Qian'an County, Yongping The students in the mansion are also rushing to buy those Hanlin topics. You are now a talented person in our county and mansion that has not been produced for a hundred years. The students in this mansion all have a bright face when they say it. I don't know how many people want to see you. !"

He also smiled with You Rongyan: "I'll take you to Fu Rong Building in a while, and the candidates in our house will have to applaud me when they see you!"

The time they talked, the list was filled in the top 100, and there was another Qian'an scholar who was on the list, but Cui Xie didn't know him, and Zhao Shixiong said he was also a young talent. In the past, Qian'an County had only two or three Juren in a year, but now there are only two of them on the Guiding List. I am afraid that the number of people on the list will be even more. It is thanks to his set of notes.

I took out two volumes of "Da Xue" and "Mencius". The exam questions were just three questions selected from "The Da Xue", "The Analects" and "Mencius". After reading those two volumes of notes, two of the three questions were better than usual. If you raise your level by one level, wouldn’t the articles you make are better than others?

Not only in Qian'an County, where his set of notes was sold, the test takers' scores were better than in previous years, and the Beijing nationals improved even more.

In the Fu Rong Building where the candidates gathered, newspapers poured into the building like flowing water. Half of the newspapers were from Beijing, Tongzhou, and Qian'an. The students from other prefectures looked incredible— —

"If it is said that the candidates from Beijing, there are many foreign students who are sent here to take the exam. It is not uncommon for them to have better results. Tongzhou is also a big city where the north and the south meet. How can there be so many talents in the small place in Qian'an? Except for the three countries. Six talents, I have never heard of any talents in Qian'an!"

Who is the chief examiner for this year's rural examination? Why is it so uneven? Could it be that the examiner's father was from Tongzhou, and his in-laws were from Qian'an, so he was particularly partial to scholars in these two places!

A romantic talent in Qian'an County-Lu An, who is now a romantic player, shook his fan and sneered: "What is the uneven selection of talents? Before you ridicule, did you think about what Beijing, Tongzhou, and Qian'an have in common? Even if you don’t know those two small places, you have to know why the candidates in Beijing this year took more?"

"Why don't you take a look on the street before the trouble, what book is the best selling before this autumn test——"

The most violent examinee said without hesitation: "Naturally it is Ju'anzhai's "Imperial Examination Must-Read Series". Students who go to Beijing for the exam can't buy two sets of him. But Naju'anzhai is from Beijing. It’s just that the candidates in the capital did well in the exam. We can’t compare them to reading this good book earlier. In a small place like Qian’an, we can’t..."

The Qian'an candidates all showed a subtle smile: "When Xiongtai reads the book, don't you read the introduction, inscription, and editor's chronicle before the book?"

The Tongzhou candidates also coughed, and asked them: "When you buy books, don't you ask if Ju'anzhai has a branch elsewhere?"

The few foreign candidates who originally felt that this subject was not evenly selected, and were interested in arguing about the merits of the foreign government, were slightly agitated, and still frowned and asked: "Then why are they only sold in these few places? It’s sold in his house, and no one else is allowed to print this book for sale!"

Lu An tapped his fan in his palm, shook his head and sighed, “That’s because you didn’t read it carefully. This notebook is written by a famous prodigy in Qian’an County, whose surname is Cui Mingxie. The Ju’anzhai who printed his book was also moved. The well-known study in An has branches in Tongzhou and Beijing, so the students from the three places only did very well this year."

Before reporting the list, he had to call the group of students "Brother Taiwan" in a friendly manner. Now he has posted the list and released the report, so his status is so high that he doesn't need to be polite to this group of people. , Blatantly put the word "sarcasm" on his face, and said with a smile: "We are the talents of Qian'an County, we have compiled a book and asked us to print it out by the Qian'an County Bookstore. Can we sell it wherever we want? Now that I have gone to Beijing for the exam and bought this "series" book, it is better to go home and do more questions instead of discussing why here!"

The notes printed in April did not sell enough for Sanjiao Anzhai, and few were sent to other places. The examinees in these three places used good books for the examination review, and naturally the examinations were better than others. But having said that, this book did not teach people to control the sale to other people. Even if these scholars didn't buy it at home, they could buy it when they entered Beijing. I don't blame myself for not doing well in the exam, but I blame the examiner for coming. How can there be such a reason in the world!

The Confucian scholars in Beijing also sang, "As expected of the six talents who commented on the Three Kingdoms, they speak so sharply!"

Perhaps no one knows about Cui Xie, who published the book, but the Six Talents who commented on the Three Kingdoms had even heard of him in the restaurant. It was better to hear him than to read his comments in the book. The shopkeeper of the restaurant gave them a plate of hot braised fish for free, showing their support for the idol with practical actions.

The mentality of the scholars who were stunned by him is not so good.

Lu An is already a member of the ranks, and teaching Qingshan scholars to "make a problem" is simply a kind and kind teaching to the younger generation, and they are content to swallow it. But that Choi Xie--

Wasn't that series of books produced by the Imperial Supervisor Division and Jijiu? Why did they change the prodigy again? What use is it for a child prodigy to be able to issue a scientific examination? Isn't it true that he hasn't been admitted to Juren!

He regained his spirit and asked sternly: "Senior Lu said that he was a child prodigy and talented person, he compiled this book, but with this book he was admitted to the Juren Jinshi?"

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer newspapers, and the last ranking has been reported to the top 20. I think that Cui Xie is just a student from a small county who went to the countryside. He has just entered the Imperial College for more than a year. If he is admitted to the guild list, he will be fate. I really think that if he can get a book from a famous book, he has become a wit. Will you be able to get into ten?

Lu An also hesitated a little, and did not answer this for a while.

Seeing that he had lost a bit of chic energy, those people looked much better, and said with a smile: "If he is a real talent, he can be admitted to this list, we should take care of it, but blame myself for not being able to follow the exam. That book. But if he is not a talented man, but a bookseller who sells books, I am afraid that the book he printed, ha ha..."

If Cui Xie fails to pass the test, let alone other accusations, his reputation will not be good after the word "bookseller" is pressed on his head.

Lu An and several Qian'an scholars and scholars looked ugly, and stood up to retort for him: "Cui Xie has only been studying seriously for three years, and has been admitted as the head of the junior three yuan. How many years have you studied? He himself If you haven’t taken the test, you can ignore the test yourself, and print out the teaching book before the autumn test. Test takers all over the world can buy it. Can you solve unanswered questions? Who can do it? Good books are not collected by themselves, but they are easy to borrow? Who is more willing to print out so that the world can see them?"

Even if he didn't make the list, it was because he gave himself up and refused to hide good information before the exam to see for himself. Instead, he had to share it with others to learn, so that others would squeeze himself down!

Lu An moved himself as he talked, and some even suspected that Cui Xie didn't want to make money when he came out of "Three Kingdoms", but he wanted to make the six of them famous, so that their imperial examinations would go smoothly.

Those who bought the "Imperial Examination Must-Read Notes", no matter who did not pass the entrance examination, were moved for a while, along with the scholar who accused Cui Xie of under-study, stood there to reflect, and did not say anything for a while.

There was a moment of silence in the restaurant, that is, when the silence was about to spread to the entire lobby of the restaurant, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother Lu, Brother Wang, Brother Shi...Look who I brought! "

Everyone looked up at the door, only to see a young scholar with good spirits pulling another handsome scholar from Tsinghua rushing in, and smiling at them: "Let’s Qian’an County talents, the eighth place in the township exam, Juren Master Cui Yu Xie is here!"

The eighth township test!

How can he take the eighth exam?

After three years of studying, he took the eighth place in the national examination. Wouldn't it be necessary to ask him to study for two more years?

Cui Xie’s young and handsome face was reflected in the eyes of all sentient beings, and the Lan Ting Yushu-like figure was filled with the same thought: His set of notes is really a useful secret scroll! Could it be that the Hanlins and the senior officials of the Imperial College made some secretaries in Ouchi to show him?

Buy a few more sets to take back...

However, the talented scholars in Qian'an have read too much of that set of books, so they are not so new. The first reaction is to surround and greet Cui Xie, and show off to the students from the county: "He Zhong was when he was in our county. A well-known talented child prodigy, when he first returned to his hometown, he surprised four people at the Chongyang Banquet..."

With a pair of beautiful papers, it surprises four people.

Several scholars who had participated in the Chongyang Festival Banquet gave Cui Xie a smile, winked at each other, swallowed the past, and smiled brilliantly.

The author has something to say: the township examination is eighth
