Girl Zhou Zhou has a beautiful face, a tender white oval face, two buns, and a lock of black shiny hair hanging from her forehead. She is thin and frail. She wears blue satin with wide-rimmed satin trousers and an orange knot at the placket.
The ribbon is hanging on the shaved shoulders, and the skirt and trouser legs are all black embroidered flowers. On the boat, the sleeves are rolled up, revealing half of the bright wrist.
As the daughter of a wealthy family in the countryside, although she is pampered and well-off, she is not stuck in the front door or the second door.
In sailing a boat, he is no worse than several men.
They rented this boat, which can accommodate about seven or eight people. It is very spacious when sitting on the boat.
On the boat, Miss Zhou Zhou also revealed some feelings to Bai Gui overtly and secretly, but seeing that Bai Gui didn't reply, she stopped pestering her and was generous.
"There are tens of millions of people in Chang'an, and they all have their own camps when they go out. But my master and I walk leisurely on horseback. When we reach the head of Qujiang River, the grass and trees are reflected brightly. The color of Nanshan is beautiful..."
How can you visit Qujiang Pool without reciting Qujiang poems?
This poem is a poem by Bai Juyi.
"When the lotus leaves are growing, spring hates them; when the lotus leaves wither, autumn hates them..."
Someone else recited a poem by Du Mu, and there was a bitterness in his mouth as he recited the poem.
This is a person who does not succeed in the imperial examination.
There is a Qujiang Banquet in Qujiang Pool, which was the banquet held in Qujiang Pool after the imperial examinations were announced in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, scholars who had passed the imperial examinations, whether they were in a good or a bad mood, would go to Qujiang Pool for a walk.
If you encounter something bad, firstly, you can seek good luck, and secondly, you can enjoy the sights and relieve worries.
In the Tang Dynasty, the list of new scholars was released before the Shangsi Festival. The Shangsi Festival fell on March 3rd and was very prosperous from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. This day was also the legal day of rest. Therefore, the emperor often gave banquets, which were usually held in Qu
Over time, Jiangchi, the royal garden, became associated with Qujiang Banquet. Later, in the Song Dynasty, there was Qionglin Banquet, which was similar to Qujiang Banquet, but the name Qionglin Banquet was inherited.
Visiting Qujiang Banquet is a good sign.
However, this trip to Qujiang completely made Miss Zhou Zhou give up. At the subsequent class reunions, she also came less often, and she no longer had to come every time.
The next day, the government tried to launch the case.
Early that morning, three classmates came to watch the results release with him.
Just like the county examination, there are crowds of people, rubbing shoulders, and loud voices. No one is immune. This result is related to your future future, and it is not just an exam.
When Bai Gui and three classmates arrived, the list was already hanging high. It was still the same as the county examination. The seat number was written instead of the name. It was also divided into the main list and the deputy list. The main list was
Tuan case, deputy list of Confucian students who are qualified to take the next examination.
Only fifty people will be taken for the group case!
In other words, these fifty Confucian students selected from each county will be selected through competition, almost twenty to one, before anyone can advance to the next exam.
Bai Gui also saw the Confucian scholars in Zishui County who laughed at his auspicious case. They were standing with their heads downcast. They had obviously failed the exam. Not only were they not admitted to the main list, but they were also not admitted to the deputy list.
"The head of the case..., I am the head of the case..."
He squeezed in and saw that his seat number was in the first place. He felt his mind empty all of a sudden. He was so excited that it was difficult to maintain a calm mind. The head of the case, this is the head of the case, he will definitely be taken.
In the middle, he has the reputation of being a scholar.
But he still bit his lip and did not speak.
Otherwise, these jealous candidates wouldn't know how to deal with him. It would be bad if anyone tried to make a secret move in this crowded time.
"It's over, no admission..."
Zhou Yuan and the others were almost completely wiped out. Only Zhou Yuan was still on the list, but he was also at the bottom of the list.
Others were depressed, but they had expected it and quickly picked up their mood.
It's just that when they saw Bai Gui's excitement, they also had some guesses in their hearts, but they were not sure. If they were just admitted, they wouldn't be so excited, because the county head was a sure winner, so there was only one possibility...
Zhou Yuan and the others winked and quickly dragged the excited Bai Gui out of the crowd.
Go to a place with few people.
Bai Gui also slowly recovered, and he patted the courtyard wall of an alleyway with excitement, his palms aching slightly. He looked at the three of them and said: "I am the leader of the case, and I am the leader of the case...
"
From the time he entered Bailu Village to the present, he has been tensing up and studying hard all the time, walking on thin ice and never relaxing for a moment. This time, at the beginning of the government examination, the title of scholar is at his fingertips. It can be said that his first goal has been basically completed...
…
How can you not be excited!
How can you not be happy!
"Brother Bai, I didn't expect how hard it was for you to hide it from us!" Zhou Yuan also smiled. Although there was a hint of disappointment in his heart, it was a happy day for his friend, and he couldn't let it down.
He and Bai Gui have lived together, but he knows Bai Gui's hard work best. There is nothing to be jealous of. Bai Gui is also extremely loyal and benevolent. If he becomes rich, he will not forget his classmates.
"Congratulations to Brother Bai for being the first in the case!"
Several people raised their hands in congratulations.
"Same joy! Same joy!"
Bai Gui quickly returned the gift and calmed down a bit.
After the results of the first main examination were released, the next day was the re-examination. The questions this time were the Four Books and Five Classics questions from the original imperial examination, which was also a relatively important test.
It's just that in this exam, the candidates who can be admitted to the group case basically do the eight-part general meeting. Even if they don't do well, they won't be too bad, and they won't be dismissed.
The third test is interesting, it is the judgment.
In the Tang Dynasty, the selection tests for the imperial examinations were body, speech, calligraphy, and judgment. Shen refers to the correct physical appearance, speech refers to the clear language, and calligraphy refers to the neat and beautiful handwriting. Jing refers to judgment.
ability.
In ancient times, laws were governed by humans. Even if there were written laws, cases and punishments had to be decided in accordance with secular morality.
The question asked is: "How should we punish our neighbors for stealing cattle and returning their cultivated land?"
耄 refers to a man who is already in his seventies or eighties.
A neighbor in his late teens stole a cow, plowed the land, and later returned the cow. How should he be punished in this case?
The law calls for fifty lashes for stealing private property, but this man of seventy or eighty years old will definitely not be able to bear it.
It is also used for farm work.
This question can only answer the question of how much food and property should be punished to the neighbor, but it does not ask about guilt at all. Asking about guilt goes against secular morality.
This question only requires a reasonable answer. It does not require you to be fair in your judgment. The optimal answer is to give each person fifty pieces. It is not correct to ask your neighbor why he did not lend the neighbor his cow so that he had to steal it.
I have a sense of public morality, but I can only punish my neighbors with some property...
The three government examinations ended like this.
When Bai Gui came out of Longmen, he heard someone talking about his neighbor's cattle theft. What surprised him was that some people thought that this question was a bit difficult to solve and it was making things difficult for them.
