Chapter 50 50 Registration

Early in the morning, Wu Zhankui took his brother-in-law and nephew into Pengze County, but he did not take them directly to the county government office to register. Instead, he had to go to find Gao Xiucai first and bought some gifts on the street.

Although you still have to send money as usual when asking someone to do things, you can't come to your door empty-handedly, which is inconsistent.

Of course, Dad Wei didn't buy any expensive things, he just made up his hands.

When I arrived at the address given by Master Sun, I found Gao Xiucai.

Under normal circumstances, a student like Gao Xiucai should be studying in a county school at this time.

Although he is already a scholar and does not need to take the examination in the county examination and the government examination, the Jiangxi provincial examination will be held at the end of the year. Shouldn’t he be studying in the county?

In fact, this is true. Gao Xiucai didn’t go to the county school for much time.

At this time of year, many candidates who are preparing to take the county examination come to their door and ask for protection for them.

For those familiar candidates, everything is easy to say, but more are unfamiliar. It depends on who the referee is. If you are unfamiliar, you will never be guaranteed, and it will not be possible to pay much money.

But Xiucai Gao didn't expect that the exam was about to start, and there were people coming to the door.

After reading Master Sun's letter, Gao Xiucai knew the whole story, so it was natural that everything was easy to say.

He accepted the gifts and silver, but only instructed Wei Guangde to study hard and prepare for the county examination in half a month.

This is to collect money and eliminate disasters for others.

Of course, he is not helping out disasters, but helping him.

I handed over the written guarantee documents to them and chatted casually for a while.

Knowing that Wei Guangde and his group had to go to the county government office to register, they didn't say much. They had done everything they should do, so they naturally said goodbye.

After leaving Gao Xiucai's house, their next stop was of course to register at the county government office.

The county government of Pengze County is located in the center of the county town, which is similar to the movies and TV shows that Wei Guangde has seen, but there is also a little difference. Perhaps the protection of the monuments is incomplete. At least before Wei Guangde saw the gate of the county government, he saw a screen wall from a distance.

The screen wall is facing the county government gate, and a archway is also built in the middle.

Before, when Wei Guangde came to the county, he usually went shopping in the market and bought some delicious food and fun, but he didn't come to the government offices like the county yamen to take a look. This was the first time Wei Guangde saw Pengze County yamen.

In his previous life, Wei Guangde had never visited any such ancient monuments that were completely preserved. When he first saw Pengze County Government, he felt a little moved.

When Wei Guangde first saw the county yamen gate, he thought of "The yamen front faces south, don't come in if you have any reason or not", and then the second sentence is "The yamen front faces south".

It is true that the Pengze County Government built facing south and facing north. The two-way walls of the county government gate were not built horizontally with the gate, but were built at a certain angle toward the outward. The walls on both sides were like the word "eight".

It seems that this is a regulation. Wei Guangde remembers that he had seen the records in the book that all the county governments in the Ming Dynasty were actually similar and were built according to the court system. If there were any differences, they would only be minor modifications according to local conditions.

Entering through the side door, the person on duty saw that it was Wu Zhankui and Wu Qianhu was still very polite, "Wu Qianhu, do you need me to go in and inform you?"

"No need, I signed up for my nephew today."

Listening to the conversation between Menzi and Wu Zhankui, it seems that Wu Zhankui will come here from time to time, and is a little familiar with Menzi.

Through the corridor, my uncle led to a row of houses on the left. Looking at the sign hanging in front of the door, Wei Guangde knew that these houses were the houses of the Pengze County Government. The other three rooms were either behind the row of houses or on the other side of the corridor, because Chinese architecture pays great attention to symmetry.

In fact, from the screen wall to the archway, to the county government gate and the corridor behind, to the second and third halls of the lobby, they are all on a central axis.

Following his uncle and Dad Wei, Wei Guangde stepped into the ceremony room for the first time.

The internal organization of the county government is actually somewhat similar to that of the court. The court has six ministries, and there are corresponding institutions at the county government level, namely the Six Rooms.

The person in charge of the imperial examination has always been a courtesy, so Wei Guangde naturally has to register here.

My uncle knew each other and the few people in the Lifang. I talked to the Lifang man and knew that Wu Zhankui brought his nephew to sign up for this county exam. The Lifang Shuli was still a little surprised.

It's nothing more, it's just a matter of time.

Indeed, the exam will start in more than half a month, and we will only register at this time.

After Wei Guangde came forward to see him, he explained the reason why he came to register at this time.

I knew that some candidates could not refer to the filial piety, so the few officials in the room understood it.

If an elder dies at home, he really cannot come to take the exam. Otherwise, it will not only harm himself, but also harm several classmates who protect each other.

On the paper handed over by the clerk, Wei Guangde carefully filled in his name, hometown, age, and resume of three generations. He also wrote the names of the other four of the five people who had already taken the same exam, and finally wrote Gao Xiang's name in the guarantor column.

It is also an open secret for the fact that students in charge of the candidates, and they all need to be paid, unless they are their own nephews or students.

Of course, when encountering stingy people, even if they are children and nephews and students, they may be afraid that there will be a sense of filial piety.

The previous one was filled out soon, but Wei Guangde was a little confused about how to write about his physical characteristics. His husband had never explained how to write it before.

"The face is armored, white in complexion, short in body, and no squid."

Just as Wei Guangde was hesitating, he heard the clerk opposite him whisper a few words. In surprise, Wei Guangde looked up, but the man looked carefully at Wei Guangde's face before nodding, "Just write that, your face has no moles or marks."

Only then did Wei Guangde realize that the face-shaped armor is about his face shape. It is easy to understand how white and squinting look is. What does short body mean?

Among his peers, Wei Guangde felt that he was tall. Although he was only thirteen years old and had no measuring tools for later generations, Wei Guangde felt that his height would not be less than 1.5 meters, but may be close to 1.6 meters.

Later generations were an era of overnutrition. Children's height generally exceeded their parents' height, and even his current height was not short in later generations.

Of course, this height may have Wei Guangde's personal feeling, and there may be some errors.

Wei Guangde was not sure about this, but he was not much shorter than his brother Wei Wencai and cousin Wu Dong. My mother also said that she was afraid she would grow up to be taller, taller than her father Wei Meng.

Well, maybe they are calculated based on the height of an adult. If this is the case, Wei Guangde is indeed a little shorter, just a little bit.

After filling out the registration form, Wei Guangde took out Gao Xiucai's guarantee documents and mutual insurance documents and submitted them to the clerk together with the registration form.

The guarantee documents were obtained from Gao Xiang and Gao Xiucai, while the mutual guarantee documents were obtained from Master Sun, including the other four candidates. Because their previous mutual guarantee documents also needed to be revised, Wei Guangde brought them together this time.

After the clerk got the procedures and checked it correctly, he stamped and sealed it, processed Wei Guangde's registration materials, and gave the examination certificate.

However, Wei Guangde did not rush to leave. After watching the clerk exchange the other mutual guarantee documents into the registration materials, he did everything this time.

What Wei Guangde didn't notice was that when he filled out the registration form, Wu Zhankui handed a small bag of books to the Lifang, and Wei Guangde's examination certificate naturally made some minor adjustments.
