Poor family mother and son

Chapter 174 Little Treasure Participates in Children's Test
Xiaobao and Qiusheng rolled their eyes for a long time before recovering from their pity for the second-class Jinshi: this means to let them rest earlier!
The two little guys finally went to sleep, and Chu Qing's words were not in vain.

The next day Xiaobao came back from school and brought a letter to Chu Qing.

A letter that Mr. Shen put in Xiaobao's homework.

This letter is relatively long, with five pages in full.

The general idea is that Xiaobao is ahead of his progress in learning, and the Nei Sheding class is not enough to satisfy Xiaobao.Little Treasure at least has the qualifications to be able to enter Class B of Neishe.

In terms of study, Xiaobao has already learned how to hide his clumsiness. At Xiaobao's request, Mr. Shen no longer discusses Xiaobao's homework as a model essay.

In campus life, due to previous conflicts with classmates, Xiaobao was virtually isolated.It's not exclusion, but the isolation formed by parents who are afraid of Xiaobao.

In addition, since there is no war in Daxuan as a whole, life has returned to calm. It is estimated that the number of children entering school this year will increase. Mr. Shen may be assigned to take care of new students, and he will no longer be able to take care of Xiaobao.

"This is a responsible teacher!" Chu Qing sighed after reading the letter.

"I heard that Mr. Shen is going to be transferred to another class. Did he tell you about it?" Xiaobao hasn't read the letter yet.

Chu Qing handed him the letter, waited for Xiaobao to read it, and asked him what he thought.

"Mother, I want to take part in the children's test." Xiao Bao said with firm eyes.

"You will only be six years old in May, isn't it too early?" Chu Qing asked.

"Mother, I'm an audit student now, and I'm somewhat dishonest, and I can't choose a class. If I pass the exam, I will be divided into classes based on my grades. That's my real ability."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Pei Qing and the others gave me all the questions they referenced back then, and I got them all right!"

It took Chu Qing a moment to realize that Pei Qing was the gentle and jade-like young man next to Xiaobao, and he felt that he shouldn't be called "Pei Qing" but "accompanying student".

She is more dedicated than a mother like herself!

"Why did you say that Mr. Shen was going to be transferred?" Chu Qing asked.

"Mr. Shen has no way. This year's children's examination has started to sign up, and the number of people is much higher than in previous years. There must be more new students in the prefectural school. I heard that there are many children from the major families in Jizhou alone.

Mr. Shen has nothing to do with the officialdom, and he might be transferred to a foreign house, so that there will be fewer Shuxiu. "Xiao Bao felt a little sorry for Mr. Shen when he said this.

"What do you think of Mr. Shen's teaching?" Chu Qing asked Xiaobao.

"Mr. Shen is very knowledgeable, and I benefit a lot from his comments on my homework every time." Xiaobao's progress in homework is indeed not small.

"Okay, you can take the exam if you want, but pay attention to rest more recently. I heard that the exam is very hard." Chu Qing instructed.

Daxuan's examination system is divided into five levels, children's examination, college examination, township examination, general examination, and hall examination.

The Children's Examination, also called the County Examination, is an examination organized by the local government. Those who are admitted become Tongsheng, which shows that they have basic cultural knowledge and writing skills.

The children's examination is followed by the college examination, which is held in the "academies" of the prefecture and the state. They are selected from the previous round of children's students and become scholars after admission.

The township examination is held every three years, and it is also held at the local level, but the number of admissions is determined by the central government, and the number of people in each state and population ranges from dozens to hundreds of people.Those admitted become Juren, and No.1 is called Jieyuan.

will try.Held in the Ministry of Rites of the capital, about two to 300 Jinshi were admitted in each subject examination.The main list is divided into the main list and the vice list, and those who are admitted on the main list become Jinshi.Although the candidates entered in the deputy list are not considered Jinshi, they can be awarded lower-level official positions, or absorbed into the Guozijian as supervisors, and get a certain salary.

The last is the imperial examination.The topic is proposed by the cabinet ministers and selected by the emperor.The top three candidates, such as No. [-] Scholar, No. [-] in the list, and Tanhua, are listed as first-class, and they are regarded as Jinshi and the first; when they are awarded official positions, the best ones are also admitted to the Imperial Academy.

If Xiaobao takes the exam, he has to go back to Xingtang County to take the exam. The examiner is Xu Guangze, the magistrate of the county.

Because of the franchise, Xiaobao can participate in the children's test even if he is less than ten years old.So Chu Qing sees that he persists and doesn't stop him.

Chu Qing went to sign up for Xiaobao and Qiusheng the next day.After registering, I went to Song Tingshan again and told about Mr. Shen's situation.

Chu Qing was somewhat selfish.She hopes that Mr. Shen can continue to teach Xiaobao.Even if you can't, you still have to stay in the dormitory. If Xiaobao has any academic problems, you can ask him for help.

Because Chu Qing's education method is not suitable for the exams of this era, it is of little help to Xiaobao. If there is someone like Mr. Shen who can ask for advice at any time, it will be a great help to Xiaobao.

But these words can't be said directly to Song Tingshan, but I just asked Xiazhou School for the rules arranged by teachers.

How could Song Tingshan fail to hear the meaning behind what Chu Qing said.This person came here for nothing else, just to ask about the teacher's arrangements?
"The admission of new students to the state school will be done after the children's test, and it will be rescheduled according to the number of people. In addition, the state school and county school courses in this state will also be changed this year. At that time, the official will personally participate. You can rest assured." Song Tingshan said .

Chu Qing left satisfied.

There was more than half a month before the exam, Chu Qing was too busy to accompany Xiaobao to take the exam, leaving Zhuo Yao to take care of Xiaobao and left.

Xiaobao has twelve little friends of his own, so he will not be alone.

Qiu Sheng is seventeen years old this year, and according to the country's custom, he should be married and have children.His mother, Zhang Erni, has been influenced by Chu Qing for the past two years, and instead of proposing marriage to him, she supported him to study hard and get a good grade.

With Chuqing helping to take care of her, it was a rare opportunity, and she should be grasped well.

Besides, Zhang Mingyu is 29 years old this year and is still single. With such an older single youth standing in front of him, I really don't worry about Qiu Sheng.

In the days after Chu Qing left, Qiu Sheng and Xiao Bao entered a "countdown" state.

They took the passages of articles they thought they were unfamiliar with, or the topics that their friends helped to bet on, and extracted words or short sentences that could be prompted, and pasted them on the exercise machines in the yard.

When exercising every day, just read the tips above, and keep fit while reciting your back.

My mother said: I don’t grow well if I sleep late, and I have to be unemployed even if I am admitted to the top two.But Xiaobao didn't want to reduce the study time, so he came up with this method.

The iron blocks on Xiaobao's legs have increased again, there are still four grids on each leg, but each grid has become two thin iron plates.

This kind of self-discipline makes the friends admire.

Who said that the children of rich families are uneducated?Look at Xiaobao!

More than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiaobao and Qiusheng lined up outside the gate of the examination hall, waiting to enter.

The test courtyard faces south and has a symmetrical layout on the central axis: from south to north on the central axis, there are the main gate, the Yimen gate, the lobby, the second hall, and the examination office.

On the plaque above the gate are the words "Xingtang County Examination Institute", and on the left is the Temple of Earth, where all candidates come to worship, hoping that their exams will go well.

On the gate of the ceremony hangs "Mingjing Jingshi".The second entrance on the right side of Yimen is divided into two corridors on the left and right for the examination room, and the entrance is commonly known as "Dragon Gate".

There are 69 test rooms in the "Longmen" including four test rooms, namely "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan" and "Yellow".There are four examination tables and four stools in each room, which are called houses.

Above the lobby hangs a plaque of "seeking talents for the country", indicating that this examination institute is a place for selecting talents for the country.

The second hall, also called Hengjian Hall, "Hengjian" means to distinguish right from wrong, to be fair and impartial.

The examination papers will be transported by a special person, put into a red box, and sealed and locked here.

After the exam, the chief examiner will review the test papers, interview candidates, announce the rankings and receive superior officials here.

Behind it is the examination room, which is the examiner's studio.

After the examination papers are received, the candidates’ names and hometowns must be pasted up; in order to prevent the examiners from identifying the candidates from the handwriting, a special person must copy the examination papers with a red pen, called "red papers", and the original examination papers are called "ink papers". ".

Of course, this is for the examinations above the college entrance examination. Children's examinations do not need to be divided into "red paper" and "ink paper".
