Two hundred and seventy-four chapters government test
The Xue family became stable after the son who was the head of the case became stable, and so did the entire Xue family.
The second day after the list comes out is the day of the government examination.
The prefecture examination is held in the prefecture that has jurisdiction over the county and is presided over by the prefect.
The process is the same as the first level, except that there is one more person to guarantee the settlement, and everything else remains basically the same.
Due to his achievements in one game, Xue Pan of the Xue family, who was mediocre from the beginning, immediately fell into the eyes of many scholars in Jinling.
Anyone who has the conditions to get the test paper from Xue Pan County will praise Xue Pan's rolled noodles. They are clean and tidy and have a solid foundation.
But the praise stopped there, no one thought there was anything special about Xue Pan.
Because as the difficulty of this exam increases, it relies on more than just the foundation of daily reading.
Aren't the exams at which level and level in the following sections related to the understanding of the article, judgment of questions, and problem solving?
Their families are born to read, and the books passed down from generation to generation and their understanding of articles are all accumulated over many years.
That's called the foundation of a scholar.
They are not like the children of businessmen who just spend money to study in a good academy and hope to compete with those from their scholarly family in passing examinations.
Therefore, this case can at most make these individuals marvel at how smart the young man is, and there is nothing more.
On the day of the prefecture examination, students from the county where Mai Fan lived were not the only ones who came to Jinling Prefecture to take the exam.
The students who have passed the exam from many counties are gathered together in one place, and the total number is as large as the number of people that Mai Fan referred to during the county exam.
With so many people taking part in the government examination, the number of students admitted remains the same.
After the entire mansion examination, only 60 people were selected, among which the top ten were rated as first-class, which would have a bonus for the final level of the scholar examination.
The remaining fifty people were classified as Class B, which means their knowledge was still somewhat lacking.
From the perspective of outsiders, this is sixty places, but from the perspective of students who are taking the exam, they actually only have fifty-two places.
Because there are eight counties under the jurisdiction of Jinling Prefecture, eight minor cases occurred in these eight counties.
According to past rules, this case is equivalent to passing the second level directly.
Don’t the remaining people have to break their heads for these fifty-two places?
Probably knowing that he would attract hatred, Mai Fan came over early in the morning, found a relatively secluded place, sat on the carriage and did not get off.
Looking out from the gap in the carriage curtain, as expected, the students waiting were too bored and would say a few rude words.
Mai Fan's thoughts were not on this group of people at all. He was the youngest among them. Instead of being courteous and courteous to everyone he met in the past, which was not in line with his character as a villain, he was simply lazy and disappeared.
Fortunately, the process of the prefectural examination went faster, and the prefect of Jinling Prefecture was considered a considerate and kind-hearted official.
As soon as the check-in time came, the gate of the government office opened. The government officials at the door inspected the students, and the group was led to the examination room of the outer courtyard.
This exam was much more rigorous than the previous ones.
The examination subjects are divided into three sections: classics, essays, and policy discussions, which test memorization, diction, and political opinions and current affairs respectively.
The exam process is completed in one go. It is no longer like the first level. After the exam, you can go home or rest where you are staying.
This government examination will take three days before and after, and all food, drink, and diarrhea during these three days will be done in the courtyard of the government office.
Except for citations, candidates are not allowed to bring anything into this exam. Pens, ink, special paper, etc. are all provided by the examination room. The first two exams take one day each, and the third policy exam takes two days.
Quilts are also provided by the examination room, and each candidate is separated and has a place.
Mai Fan was lucky. He was assigned to a central location, which was quite far away from the location of the stinker. Except for the fact that the weather was a bit cold and the bedding provided by the county government was a bit hard, there was nothing major wrong with him.
At this time, he was very happy that he came from a wealthy family.
If we are concerned about the amount of books collected, the Xue family basically does not have many.
But when it comes to exquisite life, there are really few people in Jinling City who can compete with the Xue family.
Paper, ink, pens and inkstones are not allowed to be brought in, but personal clothing and food are not included in this prohibition.
When Mai Fan went in for the exam, he was wrapped in a fox fur cloak that was specially made at home for the exam, and was lined with silk cotton.
The knee pads and shoulder pads are all sewn from wolf skin, and the hand warmer is a purple sand cloud disk from Jingdezhen.
Even if the quality of the quilt to keep out the cold at night is not good, Mai Fan only needs to put these fur protective gears under his body and cover himself with the outer cloak to have a warm sleep.
If this is just for living, others won't see it very much, and they won't be so jealous.
Just talking about food, usually during an exam like this, at meal time, a yamen servant will enter the examination room and sell a kind of dry and hard biscuits to the students. At most, they will give them a pot of hot water, and everyone will just do it.
Eat together.
Households with slightly better conditions will bring some food that is not easy to spoil, but at most they are snacks and the like. No matter how good they are, they are dry and lose their original taste.
But when Mai Fan was eating, others really saw the value that money can create.
The square box he was carrying contained nothing but tools for packing food.
A set of small white porcelain stoves connected together, some golden charcoal that ignites when exposed to fire, packages after packages are ready, all you need to do is add water and warm food cubes.
Even though the ingredients in the small bag don't look very good, once the pot is put on the stove, the aroma of hot soup and hot water permeates the entire examination room.
This made the examiner in charge of invigilating the exam couldn't help but sniff. Seeing that it was getting late, he said something to the patrol officers and retreated to the backyard to have a meal.
Another examiner who came to take over knew what was going on as soon as he smelled the smell.
This is because the food that other candidates brought brought with them was tempting them out of greed.
It’s no wonder that the other party would be like this. The beef stew that Mai Fan brought was made by the cook at home, simmering it for five hours over low heat.
In order to improve the taste and nutrition of the beef, not only a variety of seasonings from the Hu people are added to the ingredients, but also several tonic Chinese medicines are added.
Use chopsticks to gently insert this piece of beef, and the texture will be clear and silky. When paired with an ordinary white pancake, as long as it is soaked in this soup, it will be a delicacy in the world.
