Lin Jue walked out of the gate and looked up among the chaotic crowd. Within a moment, he saw the figures of Lu Wu and Xiao Hu standing on a low wall waving and shouting at him. Lin Jue waved in response, Xiao Hu and Lu
Wu squeezed forward, laughing and jumping for joy.
"Hahaha, uncle, I saw you right away. Why are you different from others?" Lin Hu said with a smile.
"Why is it different?" Lin Jue was confused by his question.
"Everyone has unkempt hair and looks like they haven't washed or slept in a few days, but my uncle is still looking fresh and fresh. Look at these people, they all seem to be fleeing. My uncle is like a chicken standing among them.
As conspicuous as a flock of cranes." Lin Hu said with a smile.
"Bah, I can't even speak. How can a chicken stand out from the crowd? That's a chicken standing out from the crowd." Lu Wu said angrily.
"Yes, yes, he stands out from the rest of the chickens. I'm such a fool. I actually said the opposite. Of course a person like Uncle is a noble white crane. How could he be a chicken?" Lin Hu said hurriedly with a red face.
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "If you don't understand, don't drop your book bag, so as not to be laughed at. Lu Wu is a quick learner, and he also learned the words "stand out from the crowd".
"That's right, Sister Luwu is the smartest and most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She's like...like...yes, like a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken coop. Don't look at her low birth.
But I will never lose to those rich girls." Lin Hu said loudly.
"Hahaha." Lin Jue laughed loudly and nodded in approval: "Yes, I didn't use the wrong word this time, and the metaphor is good. However, if you compare our small courtyard to a chicken coop, wouldn't you still say that I am a chicken?
What?"
"This... Bah, bah, bah, I said the wrong thing again, uncle, don't be angry, I will never write again. It's really tiring to talk like this." Lin Hu said in frustration with his face flushed.
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "I'm kidding you, let's go home. I have to take a hot bath, and then we go out to find a big restaurant and have a good meal. Although the sugar cakes are delicious, these three
Eat it every day, but it’s enough.”
Lin Hu jumped up, picked up the package and put it on his shoulder before leaving. Lin Jue turned to look at Lu Wu who had been staring at him with a smile and said, "Let's go."
Lu Wu smiled and nodded: "I should make some more dry food for the young master. I made him eat sugar cakes for a few days. I think he has lost some weight."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "You can make more delicious food later to compensate me. To be honest, even the delicacies of mountains and seas may not be able to be eaten in the dormitory."
Lu Wu said: "Young Master has suffered."
Lin Jue chuckled, reached out to take her little hand and squeezed it in his palm, pulling her to follow Lin Hu and squeeze out of the bustling crowd.
The waiting time for the results to be released after autumn is generally about half a month to twenty days, depending on the specific situation. However, because the number of candidates in Liangzhe Road has more than doubled this year, it is expected that the time for the results to be released will be
It was further extended. Sure enough, on the next day of autumn, Hangzhou Xuezheng Yamen posted a notice announcing that this year's results would be released around the end of October. Candidates were asked to wait patiently.
In fact, everyone is very understanding and does not have too many complaints. Because everyone knows that the review of test papers requires several tedious processes, and it is not possible to focus on marking the papers after the test is completed. In order to put an end to this, the Zhou Dynasty
Regarding fraud in the imperial examination, in addition to making great efforts to check the entrance of candidates and cheating methods, various systems have been established to prevent fraud in the invigilation and marking process.
In fact, the precautions in the invigilation process have already started more than ten days before the exam. In the Autumn Examination, the Ministry of Etiquette usually appoints a chief examiner and several deputy invigilators to take charge of the invigilation and marking of the Autumn Examination. Once the chief examiner and deputy examiners
After the examiners are confirmed, these people must immediately enter the Gongyuan and have no contact with the outside world to avoid fraud by bribing the examiner to leak the examination questions. Because these people are concentrated in one place, and their courtyard doors are locked and prohibited from entering or exiting.
, this system has a vivid name, called the "locked hospital system".
After the major exam, all the answer sheets are gathered together and escorted to a special marking place. But before that, they need to go through two procedures. One is called sealing, and the other is called transcribing. Sealing is the process of sealing the candidates' information.
Personal information such as name, place of origin, etc. are all taped up with paper so that they cannot be known. After that, a dedicated person will transcribe all the answer sheets in a common font of Guange style. In this way, when the test papers are sent to the chief examiner and deputy examiner
At that time, these people had no knowledge of the candidates’ names and places of origin. And the uniformly transcribed test papers made it impossible to identify the candidates from their handwriting, which greatly ensured the fairness of the grading work.
It can be seen that after experiencing a lot of cheating and other messy things, the imperial examination system of the Zhou Dynasty has actually reached a certain level of fairness. Both for the students who took the exam and the officials who invigilated the exam.
The words were almost harsh to the point of being unreasonable. This also shows from the side how serious the fraud and cheating in the imperial examinations were. Because it was so outrageous, the late emperor had to correct his mistakes.
The will of "exceeding the right".
For the candidates, waiting for the day when the results are released is not only a kind of suffering, but also a kind of expectation. Although some people are depressed and melancholy because they did not do well in the exam, and some even committed suicide in the dormitory, but more
Most people feel good about themselves after coming out of the examination room. They all think that they can pass the exam, so they have great expectations for the results. However, for many people, this period
In fact, life is also the easiest period of time. No matter good or bad, it is finally over. Before the results are released, everyone has hope. During this period, you don’t have to study poetry and books as hard as before, and you don’t have to stay up late and suffer.
, don’t be willing to be lonely. The emotions and desires that were previously suppressed in your heart burst out during this period of time.
Because of this, the city of Hangzhou appears to be unprecedentedly lively and prosperous. Brothels and singing houses are packed every day, taverns and teahouses are booming, grasshopper boats on the West Lake are in short supply, and red boats are flowing endlessly. There are melodious songs and laughter everywhere.
Many people just have fun, drink and party to relieve their worries about college entrance examination results. This is the best way to eliminate tension and numb themselves. This is actually their way of preparing for the cold reality that will come once the results are released.
The psychology of escape.
No matter how drunken and dreamy these crazy candidates are in Hangzhou, it is a good thing for the brothels, restaurants and ordinary people in Hangzhou. Tens of thousands of people live in Hangzhou for consumption, which makes business even more difficult.
Xinglong, making more money, why not do it. As for the trouble caused by these students, compared with the money, it can be ignored.
…
Lin Jue did not go around to relax after the Qiu Wei. He only took Lu Wu and Lin Hu to a restaurant to have a delicious meal, which was regarded as celebrating the end of the Qiu Wei. Early the next morning, Lin Jue took Xiao Hu there.
Go to Songshan Academy to meet Fang Dunru. According to the previous agreement with Fang Dunru, after the big exam, Lin Jue will come to report the situation of the exam to his teacher, and at the same time send Fang Dunru and his wife off Hangzhou to the capital.
Of course, Lin Jue's trip now has an additional purpose, that is, he wants to ask Fang Dunru if he re-enters the court as an official. The purpose is to start a revolution with Yan Zhengshen. This is what Lin Jue said in Haoshe.
After seeing the title of this year’s policy article, I have been thinking about the associations and questions that have been lingering in my mind. My mentor may give me a clear answer.
However, when Lin Jue arrived at Songshan Academy, he found that the door of the small courtyard where Fang Dunru and his wife lived was locked and there was no one in the house. The vegetable garden and flowers and trees in the small courtyard were already desolate and dilapidated. Apparently no one had taken care of them for a long time.
.According to Lin Jue's understanding of Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang would never allow the small courtyard to be in such a dilapidated state. Various signs indicate that the small courtyard has been deserted.
Lin Jueshen was a little worried. He didn't know what happened, so he took Lin Hu to Xue Qian's residence on the side of the bamboo forest not far away to visit and asked what happened. Sure enough, from Xue Qian's mouth, Lin
Jue's guess was confirmed. Fang Dunru and his wife had indeed boarded a ship to the capital on the day when the autumn exams began four days ago. Currently, the post of Headmaster of Songshan Academy has been succeeded by Xue Qian, and Fang Dunru knew that Lin Jue would
He came to visit and left a letter in Xue Qian's hand, asking him to deliver it to Lin Jue when he came to the mountain.
Lin felt very surprised. The husband had clearly agreed with me to give them a lift when he finished his exam, so why did he leave without saying goodbye? Moreover, he chose to do so when he was taking the exam in the autumn. It seemed that he had deliberately chosen to avoid him.
It was an ordinary day to leave. The behavior of the husband and his wife seemed a bit strange recently, just like the day of the last Mid-Autumn Oiran competition. As soon as the competition was over, the husband took his wife in the car and left without saying goodbye. It always seemed like he was hiding something, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Very puzzled.
Fang Dunru said in the letter that he told him the reason for coming to Beijing this time. Fang Dunru came to Beijing this time to re-enter the court as an official and take up the post of Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng. Fang Dunru said in the letter that he could have
She later went to the capital to take up her post, but she was worried that the weather would turn cold, and Mrs. Fang was weak and afraid of the difficulty of walking on the windy and cold road, so she chose to go directly to the capital by waterway before the weather became too cold, so as not to suffer the pain of displacement after the ten-day delay when the waterway froze.
Regarding the Qiu Wei Examination, Fang Dunru told Lin Jue in a letter that he believed in Lin Jue's ability and believed that Lin Jue would definitely pass the imperial examination. He was not worried at all that Lin Jue would not pass the Qiu Wei Examination.
He warned Lin Jue not to relax, as the Spring Festival after the new year would be the final test. He told Lin Jue not to relax, but to seize the time to prepare for the Spring Examination next year. He was waiting in the capital for Lin Jue to meet in the capital next year.
Lin Jue was silent for a while, but there was nothing he could do. The reason given by the husband was also very valid. It was indeed cold. Once the northern section of the canal waterway froze, the convenient waterway would be blocked, making it extremely inconvenient to go to the capital. My wife was afraid of the cold.
It is true that if you can't bear the hardship of wind and frost on land, going by water is the best choice. However, Lin Jue believes that this reason is not tenable at this time. Every year, the northern channel of the canal freezes at least in November.
It’s only the end of September now, so it’s obviously unjustifiable for my husband to use this excuse at this time. In fact, he has plenty of time, and he doesn’t mind being delayed for three or four days. It’s obvious that he deliberately chose the time to leave, so as not to let him leave.
Just see him off by yourself.
Lin Jue didn't know why, but he had nothing to do about it. After sitting in Xue Qian's house for a while, he reported some of his exam situation and listened to Xue Qian's teachings. Lin Jue got up and left.
Anyway, my husband just went to the capital. I can see him and his wife at any time, so it’s not a big deal. It’s not like we will never see each other again. Next time we meet, I will definitely blame Mr. Ichiban and find out what he did.
The real reason. Could it be that Mr. Guo Guo really married a concubine, and he was worried that he would find out and laugh at him? But how long can this matter be kept hidden? Mr., this is really a bit childish.
