Chapter 1 Nongmen Tianjiao [05](1/2)
Yuan Jia is working on the pre-exam simulation paper. Every day, he is working on the questions in the study at home, and then goes to a private school to find Li Xiucai to correct the exam. He lives a lot of life.
Yang Sanzhu felt very heavy.
He traveled from modern society to an ancient farmer's son. He thought he was the protagonist of time travel and could easily reach the peak of his life with the knowledge in his mind.
However, after learning about the specific situation of the ancient society he was in, Yang Sanzhu realized that it was not that easy for him to reach the peak of his life.
First of all, he is a child. Although he is only a few years old and has to help his family, he is still a child with no family status.
Secondly, he was illiterate and did not recognize the words that were written in the dynasty. Even if he was a college student in modern times, he would be illiterate when he came to the dynasty.
Fortunately, he had a capable second uncle, so Yang Sanzhu thought of a way to use soap to cover his uncle's line and went to the private school in the county town to study.
Originally, Yang Sanzhu was still thinking happily that he was a modern college student. It was a bit difficult to get a top scorer in ancient times, but it was not easy to get a juren. After all, the literacy rate in ancient times was so low, how easy it was for him to stand out!
However, when he really came into contact with ancient times, he realized that it was not unreasonable that so many scholars in ancient times could not even pass the exam for fame.
Just memorizing his book will cost him his life! Because the teacher asked for memorization of the whole book, not the modern way of memorizing key paragraphs and reciting famous quotes!
If it weren't for the strong desire to get rid of the life of the poor at the bottom, Yang Sanzhu wouldn't have guaranteed that he could keep going.
It is so difficult to memorize rote books, but then I have to learn to write poetry and essays and articles!
After Yang Sanzhu knew the difficulties of the future imperial examination road, he was in a very heavy mood.
He felt that he might not be able to do it anymore. He may have no future on the road to studying for the imperial examination. Why is he a science student so embarrassed him?!
After thinking for a long time, Yang Sanzhu came to the study room, sat next to Yuan Jia, and discussed with him in a low voice: "Brother Yuan Jia, I don't think I'm the kind of material for studying, I don't want to study anymore!"
Yuan Jia looked at Yang Sanzhu in surprise. He tried his best to ask Yang's father to take him to the county town to study, but now he said he couldn't study anymore?
However, thinking about the pain and pain that Yang Sanzhu had forgotten when he memorized the book these days, Yuan Jia felt a little sympathetic, but he still said: "Reading is the best way out, otherwise do you want to go home and farm?"
Yang Sanzhu shook his head repeatedly: "I don't want to farm!" He felt very tired even after working in Yangjia Village for more than two years, let alone doing heavy work in the field! Thinking of Yang Dazhu's dark and thin appearance, he was shocked, "I want to do business!"
Yuan Jia frowned slightly: "Doing business? Do you know that businessmen have the lowest status. It doesn't matter if you do small business, but once the business grows bigger, farmers will be changed to merchants, and the descendants will not be allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations. Moreover, our Yang family has no backing, and it is okay to make a small business, but when the business grows bigger, the first one to suppress us is the big family in the county!"
Yang Sanzhu was stunned. He didn't think so much. He just thought about making rare good things with advanced knowledge in his memory and selling them. He would definitely be booming in business. Thinking that he could also serve Lu Jing like Lu Jing in the future, he was very excited.
However, Yuan Jia's words woke him up like a basin of cold water.
Yuan Jia didn't stop him randomly, and his words were reasonable and well-founded. Yang Sanzhu was a little depressed: "It seems that business is not good, but I am not the one who study! I forget it after memorizing the book!"
"If you forget, keep memorizing it! Memorize it every day, memorize it by rote! You can always memorize it all." Yuan Jia said lightly.
He once traveled through a certain world to practice martial arts. He practiced in winter, 39 and 30 summer, and had to beware of assassination of enemies. His life was quite hard, and studying was much more comfortable than practicing martial arts. So he didn't think Yang Sanzhu had any hard work now.
Yang Sanzhu said with a bitter face: "You can memorize and memorize by rote, but I don't know how to write poetry at all! It feels so difficult!" He is particularly troubled by the liberal arts in modern times, let alone learning to write poetry in ancient times.
Yuan Jia said: "Read more poems written by others, and even if you can't write poems, you can write a few qualified poems. Although such a poetic spirit is full of craftsmanship, the proportion of poetry in the imperial examination is not large. If you want to take the exam for a good fortune, you should focus on strategies and essays."
In Yuanjia's opinion, as long as you memorize and understand it, there is no problem at all. This is the basic knowledge. Poetry and essays are more about spiritual energy and talent. Without this talent, you will work hard in daily life. Do more of various types of poetry and essays and use them directly during exams. Suggestions and essays are the true level of a person.
However, Yang Sanzhu was confused: "What are Ce Wen and essays?"
Yuan Jia: "..." I forgot that this kid had just entered school and didn't even know what the imperial examination was.
"You'd better go and recite the book obediently! Don't think too much, you can memorize the Thousand Characters first!"
Yang Sanzhu obediently walked to the other side of the desk, took out his textbook and started memorizing.
<<<<<<
The county examination time is approaching.
Yuan Jia was about to give it a try. Some classmates from Class A of the private school were also with him, but these classmates were much older than him, the oldest was in their twenties, and the younger one was sixteen.
Yuanjia is particularly eye-catching when a ten-year-old child stands among these people.
Fortunately, my classmates knew how high Yuanjia was. When other candidates who came to take the county exam saw a child as young as they were also queuing up to prepare for the entrance exam, they all looked surprised.
There were constant discussions in private, and everyone was asking about Yuan Jia's origin and identity, but no one said anything unpleasant in front of him.
After entering the examination room, Yuan Jia found his seat. Among the many candidates, his short and conspicuous figure was also very conspicuous.
When the examiner, the county magistrate walked in, he glanced over and the first thing he noticed was Yuan Jia, who looked childish.
The county magistrate was a little surprised. He had never seen young candidates, but he had never seen them in Ping'an County. After all, Ping'an County is a relatively remote small county town. There has never been a Juren in decades. Even the person who passed the exam for scholars recently happened ten years ago.
Ping'an County, which has a poor literary style, should not propose a child prodigy.
Therefore, the county magistrate inevitably paid more attention to this young candidate.
Even if the child just came to the scene early to try his level, if the level is not enough, the teacher who taught the child would not let him go to the scene.
The county exam has not much content and is not very difficult. Basically, after memorizing it thoroughly, you can easily do it.
Yuanjia's two years of hard study day and night is not a waste of effort. He has the ability to remember everything he has learned, and he still works so hard, so he will naturally have great results.
After finishing the test, it was extremely smooth and I never encountered any questions I couldn't do. After Yuan Jia finished the test, he looked up at the other candidates and found that everyone else was still writing the test paper with a serious and nervous expression. He was the first to finish it.
Yuan Jia looked at the incense used to count the time and found that it was still very time-consuming, so he checked the paper. It was not that he had no confidence in his answer, but that he had to check whether he had no taboos in the places he should avoid.
In ancient times, taboos were highly valued in avoiding the names of the Venerable. There were three types of taboos: national taboos, holy taboos and private taboos, the names of emperors, sages, and the names of their elders. They all needed to be taboos.
Yuan Jia carefully checked the paper and found that the taboos he should avoid was changed to homophones and there was no taboos, so he handed in the paper in advance.
When the county magistrate received Yuan Jia's test, he smiled slightly at him and admired his appearance very much.
Yuan Jia bowed back and bowed.
The county magistrate began to mark the papers. His eyes fell on the neat and elegant fonts. He subconsciously developed a good impression of the exams who wrote these good characters. Then he looked at the answers and found that all the questions were correct. If other candidates had not submitted the papers, he would now want to announce that the owner of this paper would be the head of the case!
Although he was still calm after reading the paper, he was extremely happy. Ping'an County under his rule had such a child prodigy and would definitely have outstanding performance in the imperial examination. If he could get a juren, it would be his political achievements!
After the county exam and the results were announced, Yuan Jia was not very happy about his position as the first in the case. It was just the first in the county exam. None of these candidates in Ping'an County can beat them. Isn't it normal to get the first place?
He quickly focused on the mansion examination in April. Only after passing the mansion examination can he be considered a child. Only when he passes the mansion examination can he be considered a child. Only when he passes the mansion examination can he be a scholar and has fame.
However, Yuan Jia was able to keep it steady himself, but the others around him couldn't keep it steady.
Those classmates who have either passed or failed the exam were envious and jealous, and the teacher Li Xiucai was also very pleased.
Yang’s father and mother were ecstatic. They were the first place in the exam for the first time, and Tong Sheng was sure! They could even boldly imagine that their son passed the college entrance examination at one time and won the reputation of a scholar!
That night, Yuanjia saw a large table of sumptuous meals, which were even more sumptuous than during the Chinese New Year.
Yang's father, who was banned by Yang's mother, also made a small pot of wine, poured himself a glass, squinted his eyes and took a happy sip: "Oh! I'm so happy today! Our son is promising! Haha, I said that sending my son to study is a good way out!"
"Drink less!" Yang's mother reminded her, then turned to look at Yuan Jia and Yang Sanzhu, "Come on, you eat more vegetables, today there are more vegetables, eat more!"
Yang Sanzhu congratulated Yuan Jia: "Congratulations to Brother Yuan Jia for winning the case leader! I wish you will be the first to the office in the next trial and become the Little Sanyuan!"
Yuan Jia smiled slightly: "Then let's borrow the auspicious words of the Sanzhu brother!"
<<<<<<
After the county exam, Yuan Jia worked on the questions at home for two months. Li Xiucai helped him find many previous exam questions for him to do so that he would not have to worry about learning materials for a while.
The prefecture examination began in April, and Yuanjia had to go to the prefecture city to take the prefecture examination a few days in advance. The prefecture was presided over the exam.
Yang's father sent Yuan Jia to Fucheng to participate in the Mansion Examination. The distance was not far. He rented a carriage and took his son to Fucheng.
When Yang's father was rushing the bus on the road, he sighed to Yuan Jia: "I went out to go to business and have a meal. I didn't know how many times I ran with the caravan on this road and left with my eyes closed. However, over the years, I rarely went to the Fucheng City. I didn't expect that after many years, I went to Fucheng to take my son to the Fucheng exam!"
Yuan Jia could hear the pride and pride in Yang's father's tone, and he couldn't help but smile: "Then Dad, you must be mentally prepared. Maybe one day, Dad, you will accompany me to the capital to participate in the imperial examination!"
Yang's father had already figured out the process of the imperial examination. He knew that the imperial examination was the exam that the juren would take to go to Beijing to take, and his eyes narrowed: "If you have the ability to pass the imperial examination, your father will definitely send you to Beijing to take the imperial examination! Maybe I can also raise a Jinshi son!"
Yuan Jia curled his lips slightly: "Then Dad, please wait and see!"
Yang's father was driving the car with a smile, and couldn't help but hum a little song. Why did he work hard in his life? Isn't he to let his wife and children live a good life? Now that his son is promising, he can't tell what excitement he is like to be a father!
The speed of taking a carriage to the Mansion City was much faster.
The father and son came to the mansion. Yang's father took Yuan Jia to find the inn to stay.
Because of the government examination, there are many candidates who come to the city to take the government examination, and the inns near the examination room have increased their prices.
However, Yang's father didn't feel sorry for the money at all. He would rather spend more than let his son live in the inn near the examination room.
Then he worked hard to help Yuan Jia pack his bed and luggage, and brought the food to the house for food. He was light in his movements and must not disturb his son's reading!
Yuan Jia took the initiative to ask for help, but Yang's father refused to let him go: "The exam is about to come. Dad will help you with this little thing, so go read a book!"
Yuan Jia had no choice but to read the book that could be furrowed again.
The process of the prefecture examination is similar to that of the county examination, except that the invigilator becomes the prefect.
Yuan Jia noticed that the candidates who took the government examination seemed to be not old, and there was even a young man who looked similar to his age. I don’t know which county he was from.
After the mansion examination was over, Yuan Jia walked out of the examination room, and Yang's father was waiting outside. When he saw him, he couldn't help asking, "How was the exam?"
Yuan Jia replied: "I feel pretty good, I should be able to pass it." As for whether I can get the case, it depends on luck.
He felt quite modest, but when the other candidates next to him heard this, he thought that his words were too arrogant. Although it was just a test, he didn't try his best to train his skills at a young age, and he actually spoke wildly here?!
Many people think he is young and frivolous.
However, after the results were announced, the first name of the case was Yang Yuanjia!
Yuan Jia could still remain calm, but Yang's father couldn't help but scream excitedly: "My son is the leader of the case again! Haha Yuan Jia, you are the leader of the case again!"
Everyone around him looked at him. When they saw the boy next to Yang's father who was excited, they were all surprised. The head of the case was such a child? And after his father said, Yang Yuanjia was also the head of the case during the county examination?
