Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1933, cruel imperial examination 2
"Brother Liu, this is Brother Gu Pan Gu from Zhejiang, this is Brother Yin Yu Yin from Nanzhili, and this is Brother Qin Youqin from Huguang."

Liang Chaozong also introduced a dozen students around him to Liu Jin, and got to know each other.

While remembering silently, Liu Jin also carefully looked at their age and appearance.

Liang Chaozong looks to be in his thirties, but he is estimated to be in his forties. Brother Gu Pan is older, he looks to be in his forties, maybe in his fifties. Scholars don’t need it Do something, so I will look younger.

There is also this Yin Yu from Nanzhili, who seems to be in his forties, and the youngest is this Qin You, who looks younger.

"Brother Liu, you look very young. I don't know how many times you have come to participate in the test?"

After getting acquainted with each other, they also chatted.

Seeing that Liu Jin looked only in his 20s, he also asked curiously.

"Eh, I just took part in one test."

Liu Jin was slightly taken aback, thought for a while and said.

"If brother Liu can go to high school this time, it will be Lian Jie. That's quite remarkable."

When Gu Pan heard this, he also said hastily.

"It's easier said than done. There are more than 21000 students participating in the exam this time, but there are only more than 500 places. It is really too difficult to go to high school."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't dare to think about it, I just think that I came to the capital to see the world."

"Yes, the imperial examination is getting more and more difficult now. There are trains, roads, cars, ships, etc., and it is easier to come to the capital to take the exam. More and more people come to the capital to take the imperial exam. More and more every year."

"Although the number of admissions is also increasing, in comparison, the competition is getting fiercer."

"I'm not afraid of Brother Liu's jokes. I and the others have already taken the imperial examination many times."

Liang Chaozong also said with a sigh.

"This is the fifth time for me to take the imperial examination, and I don't know if I will be able to enter high school this year. If I really can't pass the exam, I will go to the Ministry of Officials to fill in the vacancy."

Gu Pan, the oldest, squeezed his beard, thinking that his son might go to Beijing with him to catch the exam, he looked extremely lonely.

He was already forty when he passed the Juren examination, and he took the general examination five times, and now he is fifty-five, his hair has started to turn gray, his eyes have started to go dizzy, and he can't read clearly.

"Brother Gu will definitely be able to go to high school this time, and the happy money your father prepared for you will definitely be sent out."

When the others heard it, they also hurriedly said.

"I hope so~"

Gu Pan smiled wryly. When his father was alive, he had prepared a large bag of wedding money for him in advance, saying that it would be used to distribute wedding money after he went to high school.

As a result, he came to the capital with this happy money bag five times, hoping to fulfill his father's wish after high school, and then failed the first four times. As for this time, he reckoned that he might still fail.

This year, the examination questions given by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Korean were very biased, and the sentences were excerpted out of context. After the examination, everyone discussed it, and Gu Pan knew that he would definitely fail this time, because he answered all the questions wrong.

"The list is released, the list is released~"

At this time, I don't know who yelled, and everyone immediately looked at the entrance of the Gongyuan. They saw a team of officials walking out, and the leader held three lists in their hands, namely the South List, the North List List of Bang and Dong Bang high schools.

Seeing this official, everyone consciously made way for them, and then watched nervously as they began to post the list.

Some people have already rushed to the list impatiently, wanting to see if their name is on it.

"Master Shu Fenshu High School in Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province!"

"Master Cui Tongzhou Cui Tong High School in Nanzhili~"

"Jianghuijiang Master High School, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang~"

"."

The officials here were busy posting the list, and some names appeared on the list posted first, and someone shouted out excitedly.

"Congratulations Brother Shu~"

"Congratulations Brother Shu~"

"Congratulations Brother Cui~"

"Congratulations Brother Jiang~"

Accompanied by someone calling out the name of a high school student, at the gate of the Gongyuan, in various places, I heard that someone around me has graduated from high school, and the accompanying students all congratulated their friends with red eyes.

"Haha, congratulations~congratulations~"

As for the people in high school, all of them naturally smiled and smiled, their hearts were heavy, and then they bowed their hands to the people around them with smiles on their faces in return.

Then, he took the wedding money that had been prepared in advance from the servants and book boys who followed him, and began to sprinkle large amounts of money towards the crowd at the entrance of the Gongyuan.

All of a sudden, the Gongyuan, which was originally crowded with people, became even more lively. People rushed to pick up happy money, and the scene was very lively.

The happy money on the ground here has not been picked up yet, and there are people starting to throw money away again. Copper coins, silver coins, and silver coins began to be continuously sprinkled out like rain.

The scene was very lively and very festive.

People in the high school were throwing money happily. As for the students who didn't hear their names or were waiting anxiously, they were very anxious and looked at those students who were throwing money with envy.

Since then, there has been a huge gap with them, and it can even be said that they are people from two worlds.

For high school students, if they perform well in the imperial examination and rank relatively high at that time, they will be prosperous in the future and have a bright future. On the other hand, these students who do not have high school will come to take the imperial examination again and again in the future. They still can't go to high school, so they can only fill in the vacancy and become a petty official.

"Tianyuanshan Tianlaoye High School, Penglai Prefecture, North Golden Continent!"

"Chen Peter Chen Master Chen High School in Mocheng Prefecture, Heitu Province."

"Master Yuntianyun High School in Xiji Prefecture, Nanyun Province!"

Soon, the list on the Dongbang side was also posted, and Liu Jin also heard a few familiar names. Tian Yuanshan, Chen Peter, and Yun Tiantian were all in high school.

This Chen Peter is probably because he is a Slav. The court specially let him go to high school in order to show his grace. Tian Yuanshan has real talents, and Yun Tiantian may also be because he is a local aboriginal in Nanyun Province, so he secretly added points, so to be able to go to high school.

The Dongbang is not all about how well you take the exam, because the Dongbang is composed of identities that were newly incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of students from minority tribes took the imperial examination.

Therefore, before the imperial examination, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, Han Wen, etc. also discussed this matter. The Dongbang is still immature and cannot be compared with the North and South.

It is not surprising that Chen Peter and Yun Tiantian were able to go to high school, they have gained extra points invisibly.

On the contrary, this Tian Yuanshan was able to pass high school at one time, which surprised Liu Jin. It seems that this Tian Yuanshan really has real talents and learning, but he doesn't have any bonus points. Although he looks like a fool to Europeans, his father is authentic. Dao Ming people.

From far away, Liu Jin saw Tian Yuanshan, Chen Peter, and Yun Tiantian gathered together, accompanied by Zeng Ziying, Sun Tianjing, Jiang Xi, Li Xiangdong, Ruan Wenhao and others, all of whom were students who came to visit him last time.

The three people in high school were naturally very happy, throwing a lot of money, as for the others, they could only watch with envy and jealousy, and they had to send congratulations to the three of them.

Beside Liu Jin, Liang Chaozong, Yin Yu, Qin You, Gu Pan and others were also waiting anxiously, their ears pricked up, wanting to hear his name, or waiting for his book boy to come to him report a success.

However, the one who waited was disappointed, the list had already been posted, and the three lists of North, South, East and East, a total of more than 500 names had been posted, which could be seen clearly.

Their bookboys are desperately squeezing their heads to look at them, carefully watching them over and over again.

"Jiangxi Ji'an Mansion Liang Chaozong Master Liang High School!"

At the back, accompanied by a voice, Liang Chaozong couldn't help but jumped up excitedly.

"Haha~ I hit it, I hit it!"

Liang Chaozong was so excited that he jumped up happily.

He had come to take the imperial examination several times before and after, and he failed all of them. He didn't expect to be able to go to high school this time. He was very excited and very happy.

"Congratulations Brother Liang!"

Gu Pan, Qin You, and Yin Yu who were around also hurriedly congratulated Liang Chaozong. At the same time, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing their own names.

However, I waited and waited until nothing came of it. When my book boy came back, he and the book boy looked at each other and saw him shaking his head slightly. He suddenly became extremely disappointed and failed the ranking again.

Liang Chaozong, a high school student, sprinkled happy money with a smile on his face, and kept throwing out handfuls of happy money. The masters of Juren are all rich people, and they are not short of money.

As for Gu Pan, Qin You, Yin Yu, and others, all of them were extremely lonely, and looked at these students who were throwing money with envy. Of course, at this moment, outside the entire Tribute Academy, there are only a few who are happy to throw money, and the vast majority All the students were extremely lonely, and many of them left silently.

Liu Jin saw everything in front of him. Some people failed the rankings even though their hair was gray, and they looked extremely lonely. Some people shouted excitedly after high school, and they were extremely excited.

There are also people whose eyes are red, looking at the people around them in high school, but they themselves have failed the exam, and the feeling in their hearts is extremely complicated.

The imperial examination is really too cruel. The college entrance examination of later generations is nothing in front of it. It is not worth mentioning. The imperial examination is held every three years. More than 2 people participate, but there are only more than 500 places. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a single-plank bridge, and it is also doomed that most people will fail the ranking.
