Chapter 57 The exam begins, thousands of candidates
Hearing these words, Changle's red lips lifted slightly.
In today's Tang Dynasty, the status of scholars is particularly high.
When he was in the palace before, Changle also saw some Jinshi.
Those people are so arrogant that even when they are facing dignitaries, princes and princesses, although their language is respectful, their attitude is still superior to others.
This shows how precious the status of Jinshi is.
If you can win one of the three yuan, you will really become famous all over the world.
Now Qin Wenyuan has plans to obtain a meritorious position. If he really succeeds, wouldn't he be able to go sideways?
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Then she stepped forward to take a stack of books and said with a smile: "Husband, is this true or false?"
"The imperial examination is different from other exams. Some people study hard for ten years without passing the exam. Now you suddenly work hard and only have seven days. Is this okay?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled and replied: "You'll know if you try it, right? There's nothing to lose anyway."
"Actually, I couldn't participate as a husband because this imperial examination is held once a year and the quota for participation has been determined long ago."
"As a last resort, I asked someone to help me open a small stove and sign up for it."
"Now that I have moved into a new home, I can relax and start studying hard. Uncle Hu will take care of the store."
Hearing this, Chang Le nodded and said, "Since I'm going to participate, husband, please work hard these days! I will definitely do my best in terms of food and daily life!"
"I guarantee that it will not affect the performance of our great talent who will take part in the imperial examination that day!"
In the end, without much hindrance, Changle agreed to Qin Wenyuan's participation.
During the Tang Dynasty, the subjects that scholars liked to take were Ming Jing Ke and Jin Shi Ke.
Ming Jing mainly takes Confucian classics as the examination content. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism", rulers of all ancient dynasties focused on using Confucianism to unify people's thoughts. This is why the Ming Jing Ke is popular.
one of the reasons.
As important as the Ming Jing Ke is the Jin Shi Ke. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Jin Shi Ke mainly focused on current affairs and policy, and the quality of articles and poems was used as a mark of examination.
In the atmosphere of this era that focused on literature, many Jinshi who were appointed as officials without being selected by the Ministry of Personnel were regarded as future ministers by people wearing common people's clothes.
The Jinshi subject attracts many scholars to take the exam, resulting in fierce competition and difficulty in passing.
There is even a saying that "thirty old people have learned the scriptures, and fifty young people have become Jinshi".
This means that if you pass the Ming Jing exam at the age of thirty, you are already old, but if you pass the Jinshi exam at the age of fifty, you are still very young.
It can be seen that the examination difficulty of Jinshi subject is much higher than that of Mingjing subject.
Because of this, Jinshi was crazily sought after by society in the Tang Dynasty.
And the imperial examination in seven days is the Jinshi examination!
This is also Qin Wenyuan's goal.
The content of the Jinshi section of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty. The most important test was "current affairs policy", that is, views on current affairs and politics.
As a modern person from later generations, Qin Wenyuan knew that it was impossible to study.
I can't even read such simple books in modern times, let alone such books in ancient times that stumped the world.
The reason why I bought so many books was just to hide it from others. Of course, it was mainly for my wife to read.
Otherwise, if you really want to study seriously, you won't buy books just before the imperial examination is about to start.
As for whether he can make the list, Qin Wenyuan is really not very confident.
Having been in Datang for more than ten years, he deeply knows how many smart people there are in this era.
People of this era just lack some vision.
Therefore, even though he possesses a reserve of knowledge that far exceeds this era, Qin Wenyuan is still very unsure.
Time passed slowly, Qin Wenyuan did not only pretend to study every day, but also arranged what the servants in the mansion should do.
Sometimes, when his wife, Chang Le, catches him arranging servants, Chang Le will blame himself, blaming himself for not arranging everything and letting his husband, who should be studying seriously, do the arrangements.
Finally, seven days passed, and on the day of the imperial examination, the whole city of Chang'an was bustling with excitement.
Gongsheng students from all over the country gathered in Chang'an. They were all outstanding people in the provincial and state examinations.
It can be said to be a strong showdown.
Today in Chang'an City, there are probably thousands of Gongsheng students taking the final examination, and the final result is very cruel. At most, only about ten Jinshi will be selected.
And these Gongsheng students were talented people selected from all over the Tang Dynasty and from all continents, but in the end there were only about ten Jinshi.
It can be seen that this imperial examination is very difficult.
It really lives up to that sentence, once nominated, it will be famous all over the world!!
In front of the Jinshi Branch Office, Changle looked flustered, and behind her stood the maid Xiaolin.
Changle was so beautiful that it immediately attracted the attention of many Gongsheng students.
However, her mind was not here at all at this moment, and she kept arranging her husband's clothes.
She smoothed Qin Wenyuan's sleeves with her right hand and said nervously: "Husband, I took a look and found that there are too many talented people here."
"If...I say what if, if we don't nominate, husband, don't be discouraged. Anyway, our family is relatively wealthy now, and we don't have to worry about food and drink. If we still plan to participate, we can continue the imperial examination next year."
Changle said leisurely.
Her hands were trembling slightly and her forehead was sweating. She was obviously more nervous than Qin Wenyuan, who was preparing to take the exam.
She was once a princess, and all the tribute students in the past had to respect her even if they were awarded the title of Jinshi. Changle didn't care about this.
But now that my husband is taking the exam, I am still extremely nervous.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded Chang Le's head gently, "Madam, look at you, you are sweating on a windy day. I will go in later. Don't keep waiting like I did last time when I went to Ruyi Tea Shop.
I come back."
"Go home and wait for me. Even if you are not nominated in the end, my husband will not be frustrated by such a small blow."
After comforting Chang Le for a while, Qin Wenyuan walked directly into the yamen of Jinshi Kefu alone.
To be honest, Qin Wenyuan was also very nervous about participating in the imperial examination this time.
If he is nominated, he can expand his territory in Chang'an without restraint like he did with Ruyi Tea Shop.
In the past few days, Ruyi Tea Shop has also sent people to discuss business, saying that they want to buy the tea formula in his hands.
But these were all prevaricated by someone from Qin, and he was just waiting for the results of the imperial examination.
Of course, even if he failed, Qin Wenyuan felt that he would probably not agree to sell the tea formula.
At this moment, Chang Le, who was behind him, looked at Qin Wenyuan's back, still so nervous.
"Hey! That's terrible!"
Suddenly, Changle's expression changed slightly.
Xiaolin also became nervous, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Changle had a worried face and said weakly: "In the morning...I shouldn't make cakes in the morning. On such a big day as the imperial examination, I should make my husband his favorite beef noodles."
"Xiao Lin, it's over now. My husband is not in the best condition. I made a mistake."
Xiaolin:???
Miss, I thought it was a big deal, but this is what happened?
Xiaolin suppressed her smile and said, "Don't worry, young lady, the young master is so smart, he will definitely get some fame."
"Miss, I think you should listen to the young master and come back to the manor with me to wait. Go back first, and you can also prepare the young master's favorite beef noodles."
Just like that, Xiaolin pushed Chang Le away with a sad face.
