Even though Zhu Ping'an cherishes time, but the gaps between his fingers are too wide and time is too thin, time still slips quietly through the gaps between his fingers. The sky can be mended, the sea can be filled, and the southern mountains can be moved. The sun and the moon have passed and cannot be traced back.
With Zhu Ping'an's diligent preparation for the examination, the college entrance examination is already approaching.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, let's go, let's go." Fatty Xue Chi knocked on Zhu Ping'an's door.
Zhu Pingan, who was reading a book, opened the door and saw Xue Chi, a fat man with a green forehead, standing in front of his door with an excited look on his face, as if he had gotten a huge advantage.
"Why are you so anxious? The door was smashed, you have to pay for it." Zhu Ping'an had just broken the topic and was about to finish the eight-legged essay in one go. He was disturbed by the sound of the fat man banging on the door, so he lost all his thoughts.
He looked unkind when he looked at the fat man.
"What's the matter? Your Majesty, the academic officer, has just announced the examination dates for each prefecture in front of the Gongyuan gate. Everyone has gone out to have a look. Come on, leave quickly. If you are late, there will be no good places." Fatty Xue Chi
As he spoke, his fat face trembled with excitement.
According to usual practice, the examinations for the Nanzhili Academy presided over by the academic officials are held in Yingtian Jiangnan Gongyuan, because there are 14 prefectures in Nanzhili, including Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, etc., and each prefecture has just passed the examination this year.
The number of children who pass the examination is quite large. Therefore, even if everyone takes the college examination in Yingtian Jiangnan Gongyuan, they are still in batches. The Nanzhili college examination is basically divided into two batches every year.
Conventionally, the first batch is from several prefectures around Yingtian Prefecture. After the first batch is completed, the other prefectures in the second batch will conduct the college examination. There is no need to worry about the leakage of questions. The questions in the two batches of college examinations are different.
There is no need to worry about the difficulty of the questions leading to different scores and unfairness, because the test questions are the same for candidates in all provinces, and the college examination results are also issued separately for each province. Each province has a fixed number of passing places, which are based on the writing style of each province.
, according to the number of people with money and food, they are divided into three categories: large, medium and small. The larger prefectures have more places, and the smaller prefectures have relatively fewer places. There are 40 people in the big house, 30 people in the middle house, and 20 people in the small house. Zhongying Tianfu, South Zhili
, Fengyang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are the major prefectures, and the other prefectures are all the central prefectures.
Conventions are conventions, but no one can guarantee that there will be no changes this year. The so-called plan cannot keep up with the changes. The order of each college examination is based on the exam schedule announced by the academic officer.
"What are you doing standing around, let's go quickly." Fatty Xue Chi urged with a swollen face.
Under Fat Xue Chi's repeated urging, Zhu Ping'an closed the door and went downstairs with Fat Xue Chi toward the direction of Jiangnan Gongyuan.
Before we reached Jiangnan Gongyuan, we heard a lot of people and discussions there. It seemed that there were changes in the examination period of each government this year.
As we approached Jiangnan Gongyuan, we couldn't walk. There were too many people. Children from all prefectures came to see the exam signs. No matter how wide the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan was, it couldn't bear it.
"Copy the exam hanging cards, verbatim, 20 articles per copy." At this time, some shrewd businessmen and hawkers copied hundreds of exam hanging cards and sold them on the spot, and they also made a lot of money.
.
"Give me two." The fat man took out a handful of money from his pocket and waved it at the vendor.
The hawker came to collect the money and gave the fat man two copies of the copy. After the fat man received it, he gave one to Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan didn't refuse, he took it in his hand and started reading.
Sure enough, this time the academic officials have made major adjustments to the examination periods of each prefecture. Although they are also divided into two batches, they are very different from previous years.
The Master Ti Xue Guan divided the Fourteen Prefectures into two batches during the examination period. The first batch was seven prefectures, namely Yingtian Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture, and Chizhou Prefecture.
The exam time is tomorrow; the second batch is for the remaining Songjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture, and Huizhou Prefecture, and the exam period will be three days later. Candidates must sign in at Yinshi (equivalent to
Gather at the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning, and enter by roll call.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhu, we can take the exam in the same batch." Fatty Xue Chi looked at the contents of the exam cards and smiled so hard that he could hardly find his eyes.
"Yeah." Zhu Pingan responded lightly.
"To celebrate the fact that we are taking the exam in the same batch, my brother is treating me to a treat. We will not go home until we get drunk today." The fat man said and asked Zhu Ping'an to go to the restaurant with him.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an almost couldn't help but kick the fat man's face to two sizes. Damn it, there is an exam tomorrow, so your sister won't come back until she's drunk!
"I just finished breakfast, so I won't have to." Zhu Pingan replied calmly.
"That's okay. Let's go, I wish us success in passing the hospital exam and not returning home drunk..." The fat man was very enthusiastic, and the golden lock around his neck was dazzling.
Damn, I won’t come back until I’m drunk, I’ll take a math test tomorrow!
In response, Zhu Pingan responded calmly, "I bought a bag last year!"
"Bag? Purse? I just bought it last year. What can I say now? Let's go..." Fatty Xue Chi remained as enthusiastic as ever and was not worried at all about tomorrow's exam.
Come on, the ancients didn't understand the mystery.
"Forget it, I have to go back and hug the Buddha." Zhu Ping'an was determined not to join the fat man's trap.
"Oh, you are usually diligent enough, and you still study so hard. You will take the exam tomorrow, so you won't miss it this day." The fat man pouted and said helplessly.
"I advise you to go back and read a book. There is an exam tomorrow. You have to rush to the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning to take the roll call. If you don't get drunk, you will have to take the test. It won't be too late to get drunk after the exam is over." Zhu
Ping An patted the fat man on the shoulder and walked to the inn.
"Oh, oh, Brother Zhu, wait for me..."
The fat man Xue Chi chased Zhu Ping'an and shouted, "Then we have agreed that we will not return until we get drunk after the exam. Hahaha, then my brother will take you to the other side to open your eyes..."
After all, the fat man went back to the attic to read under Zhu Pingan's persuasion. As for the effect, I don't know.
Zhu Pingan returned to the inn, sat at the table, and recalled all the memories of the eight-part essay that he had read in the past. Thanks to his rebirth, his memory was surprisingly good in this life.
Most of the other students in the inn are holding on to their papers to prepare for the college entrance examination. The business of Jinfenyulou on the other side of the Qinhuai River has also been reduced by most of the time. Those who are still promoting their consumption are some outstanding people. They are either confident or conceited. Otherwise, how can they be so gentle?
I can live in the countryside.
Take a step forward to open up the sea and the sky, take a step back to become disgraced.
It was late at night, the inn was brightly lit, and students and scholars rarely sat in front of the windows to study and prepare for exams. I don’t know how many students and scholars lost sleep that night.
