Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 365
Although he just passed the county examination, it was a happy event to get the case. The sixth room of Gao's family still held a banquet, and opened a running water banquet, inviting nearby villages to the banquet to celebrate.

As for the county government, Gao Wushi also went to visit the county magistrate, talked with him about learning, and left ten taels of silver before he left-this is the meaning of the title, not a bribe, because the money is used for Thanks to the magistrate for his comment, in a sense it is similar to Runbi Yinzi.

After being busy for several days, Xinzheng was also notified of the opening time of the examination in Kaifeng Mansion, which was scheduled to be on the fifth day of April. At the same time, the news came that the time of the Taoist examination was scheduled to be on April [-]th.

It needs to be explained here that in the third year of Longqing, Xinzheng County was not directly under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, but belonged to the neighboring Yuzhou.

But in the fourth year of Longqing, the imperial court made some adjustments, and Xinzheng was assigned to Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, this year's high-practice government examination and road examination are all in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is no need to rush between the two examinations.

In this way, in order to take care of some candidates from poor families, so that they do not have to stay in Kaifeng for too long, the interval between the government examination and the Taoist examination is only eight days-this is to set aside the examination papers, posting the list, etc. There is basically no margin for time, and it cannot be shortened any longer.

Of course, the examiners for the government examination and the Taoist examination are still different. The government examination is presided over by the prefect of Kaifeng, and the Taoist examination is presided over by the master, the admiral Henan Xuezheng.

Gao Wushi still took his [-] riders on the road to Kaifeng Mansion, but when he entered the city, he only brought ten of them, and the rest stayed outside the city, borrowing in a courtyard of the Zhang family in Zhongmou ——It’s not the family of Gao Yushi’s mother, Mrs. Zhang, that’s the Zhang family of Puzhou, and the Zhang family of Zhongmou is Gao Gong’s official wife, Mrs. Zhang’s family. Zhongmou is “next door” to Kaifeng Mansion. is unusual.

Except for the slightly higher level of the government examination and the county examination, the other procedures are basically the same, so there is no need to repeat them.Of course there are differences, for example, the time to enter the examination room is different.

To participate in the government examination, you have to enter the venue in the middle of the night, so some places have special high-footed lanterns with strange shapes to make it easier to find people.

This is because the number of people in the government examination has increased by ten or even dozens of times compared to the county examination. There are huge crowds of people in front of the examination booth.There are strangely shaped high-footed lanterns held high, and the scattered people can find the county team by looking up.

The high-footed lanterns for the Xinzheng County examinee team were simply provided by the Gao family. The style is very characteristic of Xinzheng: a human head and a snake body.

The title of this government examination is "Ancient fools were straightforward, but today's fools are also deceitful." This question comes from "The Analects of Confucius Yanghuo", which is a typical "Zi Yue".

Gao Yushi easily analyzed the intention of Fu Zun's question: one of the three diseases of the ancients, the fools are straight but not crooked, and the fools of today's people are more self-interested, so Confucius said that the shallowness of today's people is not as good as the past.

Gao Yushi showed off a little this time. He did not write according to the most common format of Shiwen, but used a variant. The full text was divided into fourteen parts, of which the last two were big and three parts each.

Showing off this kind of thing also depends on the situation. The government test is not too difficult, and the impact is limited. Generally, the candidates who are still taking the government test are relatively limited in level. Stand out.

Of course, the variant is more difficult to write than the main body, that’s for sure, so in the process of writing, Gao Pragmatic still put a lot of thought into it, so he was not the first to hand in the paper, but ranked third.

The title of his article is: foolishness changes with time, and foolishness is lost.

The succession of the topic is very tight, but it is: the husband's theory is sicker than the foolish, and there is no distinction between the present and the past at the beginning.

From the perspective of the whole article, he is highly pragmatic and knows that the real "test point" of Fu Zun's question must be in the present and not in the past. The authors wrote together, but they also focused on explaining that "today's foolishness is also deceitful", tearing up the hypocrisy of "today's selfishness and falsehood".

The last part of his article is "I am the original and the truth, saying that the ancient fools are also straightforward; I call it Jin's name, and saying that the present fools are just deceitful."

Because the Dao test will be held in eight days, and the Dao test is not only taking the test in Kaifeng, but the test shed is not even changed. In the future, the High Pragmatism Township Examination will have to continue to come to this place - the speed of marking papers in Kaifeng Mansion has been greatly improved, and after a few days, the list will be announced.

The list of the government examination is also a round list, but the name is not written, only the number is written, because... it cannot be written down (because the name has the same name, it must include the hometown, etc., and the number only has numbers).

There must be a huge crowd of people when the list is published, Gao Yushi thought to himself that with his small body, there was a high chance that he would not be able to squeeze in, and even if he squeezed in, he might have to come out sideways, so he had to let Gao Yu to read the list on his own.

Gao Yu's servants already knew the number of their young master, not to mention Gao Yu, who immediately brought two Mongolian riders there, both of whom were young fighters from defeated tribes in the Mongolian Civil War who fled to Daming. Needless to say, the ability to fight, the key is to be good at wrestling...

Gao Wushi honestly waited for news at the inn.

It is well known that he made his fortune from soap, so he was not worried about being impeached for "unknown sources of huge wealth". As soon as he arrived in Kaifeng, he directly booked a clean, tidy and relatively quiet small inn to live in.Although the government examination had already been completed, most people were still nervously waiting for the results to be released, but he continued to study in a leisurely manner, preparing for the next Taoist examination.

Not long after, there were faint sounds of firecrackers and blowing from outside, coming from far and near, coming here.

Gao Wushi's heart moved, and he thought to himself: Are you here for me?Did I get into the top ten?
After thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing, shook my head, and said to myself: "It's so difficult to not be surprised by favor or humiliation! I have been a human being in two lives, and I have had at least hundreds of exams, and I can't avoid it."

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yu rushed into the yard and announced his congratulations loudly: "Congratulations to the young master, you have won! You have won! The young master took another Kaifeng mansion case, and won two yuan in a row!"

Gao Wushi breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to be calm, stood up, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, tried to stabilize his tone, and asked, "Okay, okay, don't shout, I heard you " Then he ordered: "Have you prepared the broken silver for rewards? If not, hurry up and change it."

Gao Yu said cheerfully: "Why didn't you prepare it? Before you came to Kaifeng, Madam asked someone to cut up the broken silver, not to mention the government test, the rewards for the Dao test are ready for the broken silver!"

When Gao Wushi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he could understand the desire of parents to hope that their children would become a success. In his previous life, when he took the college entrance examination, his family was not rich, but his father still rented a car in advance. The car and full-time driver were used to pick him up for the exam for two consecutive days, which cost him half a month's salary.

It can be seen that throughout the ages, there has never been a difference in the feelings of parents towards their children. Confucius said that the so-called filial piety means being able to love parents as much as they love their children. This is really incisive.

　I still write the exam. According to what I said before, this is the normal amount of updates today, but I feel that I can still fight for Chapter 2. If it can be done before 12:[-], I will pay off the previous debt, la la la la! ~
