Chapter 78 Night Market
After the exam, roll call and line up to go out as usual.

Compared with entering the examination room, the process of exiting the examination room is slower.

There are more than 2000 schoolchildren, crowded with people, and they are in a trance. If they are not careful, they will lead to chaos.

Before entering the arena, the schoolchildren were all in high spirits and full of confidence in themselves.But after a whole day of exams, many people already know how well they did in the exam.

Those who do well in the exam have a happy face; those who do not perform well, look depressed.

When queuing up to leave the tribute courtyard, Sun Dan saw that many schoolchildren were too weak to walk, and they had to be supported to move forward step by step.During the roll call, there were even tragic incidents in which the examinees cried loudly and jumped into the pond dug by the Gongyuan to prevent water leakage.

As for the crazy old boy from before, it seems that he never appeared after being tied up.

The imperial examination is related to the future of scholars and the future life of schoolchildren, and the tragedy is even worse than the battlefield of swords and swords.

It's just that Sun Dan no longer has the heart to look at the appearance of all living beings in this floating world.

There should be no problem with being a scholar in the current department. If there is no major change in history, Emperor Zhengde will fall into the water in September this year and die in March of the following year.Then Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Enke was usually opened and the provincial examination was held in advance.

In other words, from now until next fall, Sun Dan only has one year to prepare for the exam.

The township examination is different from the hospital examination, not only the stereotyped essay, but also the writing of official documents, one for each imperial edict, imperial edict, and form.Here comes the problem, Sun Dan is not familiar with this kind of thing.At that time, when the imperial examination data was collected, it was not stored.

Even if he successfully passed the provincial examination and obtained the qualification to be an official, he would go to Beijing to take the general examination, and he would still have to test strategies, which Sun Dan was not good at.

It seems that I will be busy in the next year.

First of all, you need to get in touch with state violence agencies through certain channels, be familiar with the writing of official documents of the agencies, and find out the operating mode of government agencies.

From the looks of it, the Sun Mansion couldn't stay any longer, even a gardener would not be able to get in touch with the high-rise superstructure.Besides, Mrs. Liu and Aunt Jing in the Sun's residence are quite jealous of him, so it's not very interesting to stay any longer.

Fortunately, once he passed the college examination and gained fame, Sun Dan would be able to study around the world without being restricted by household registration management.

The Ming Dynasty's management of household registration was particularly strict. After Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, he fully inherited the household registration system of the Yuan Dynasty and divided household registration into three categories: civilian households, military households, and artisan households.In the 14th year of Hongwu, an edict was issued to compile a yellow book of taxation and service throughout the country, and each household filled in the household stickers, and the government verified the population, fields, assets, etc.

Ordinary people have to go to the government to issue a guide when they are [-] miles away from home, explaining the reason for the trip, the time required on the road, and when to go home.

Therefore, many people have never traveled far in their entire lives.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with literati and bureaucrats, but it was very tolerant to scholars.As long as scholars get fame, they can get the privilege of being exempted from all labor taxes, can wear swords, and can study around the world. They will not have to sleep until midnight and be knocked on the door to check temporary residence permits, resident ID cards, marriage certificates and other messy things.

That is to say, as long as the undergraduate college test releases the rankings, Sun Dan will be transformed into a privileged class of the Ming Empire.

While queuing up and waiting for the chants to leave the examination room, Sun Dan pondered in his heart: Anyway, I still have dozens of taels of silver in my hands, and I will hang around in the Sun's residence for a while, and go to the capital to find Li Meiting after the results are announced. .Didn't he work as an official? He should be very familiar with the writing of government official documents, so I might as well study with him for a year, and enjoy the scenery of the capital by the way.

One has to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of volumes of books. After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he also ran back and forth between Zouping and Jinan, but he didn't know what the other places looked like.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan thought more and more about Beijing to open his eyes.

Sun Hao's number was ahead of Sun Dan's, and he left the examination room one step earlier. When Sun Dan finally left the gate of the Gongyuan, he saw that it was very lively outside, with at least 5000 people.It turned out that there were more than 2000 examinees in the examination room, together with the family members and servants of the examinees who came to wait, as well as the common people who watched the excitement, the square of the Gongyuan was crowded.

Everywhere is the noise of schoolchildren calling for relatives and friends, and occasionally the cries of peddlers.

I don't know when, a lot of sheds were built in the square, some selling chaos, some performing arts, and some selling stewed and boiled fire.

After eating dry food for a day and being exhausted from the exam, many schoolchildren were not in a hurry to go back to the inn, and simply sat in front of the night market stalls and ate.

Sun Hao was already waiting outside the door.

He had a strange expression, his body was trembling non-stop, and he looked out of his mind.

Sun Dan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hao, how are you doing in the exam?"

"It seems...should...was about to hit." Sun Hao forced a smile, the smile was uglier than crying, he brought his stinky mouth to Sun Dan's ear, and whispered in a crying voice: "Dan Brother, I...I copied everything without missing a word...I saw you slept all day, and I was worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about." Sun Dan couldn't bear his bad breath, quickly moved his head away, and said with a smile: "We'll talk about this later, is there anyone at home? Where are the other candidates?"

"Sun Yue and Sun Gui are waiting in the sheds built by Sun Jia. Originally, they wanted to go home without waiting for you. However, I can't do such a disrespectful thing, saying that I want to leave you Go, I won't go home until you leave the examination room."

While Sun Dan was moved, he was also a little puzzled: "Why hasn't Sun Jia returned yet?"

Only now did Sun Hao say that Sun Jia hadn't returned home since sending Sun Dan to the examination room, instead recruiting a few guys to set up three sheds in the square to start a business.Of course, she only told her family that she rented a booth to wait for her younger brother Sun Gui.

"This little girl is really an economic animal. I don't know how her business is doing today?"

"Hey, I've made a lot of money." Sun Hao finally regained his composure from the excitement, his body stopped shaking, and said with a smile, "Sun Jia sold more than 600 copies of "Journey to the West" in one day."

"Hey, take me there quickly."

When they came to Sun Jia's shed, they saw Sun Yue and others sitting in it, and several Sun's schoolchildren were happy or worried, with expressive expressions.On the contrary, Sun Yue looked calm and calm.

Seeing Sun Dan and Sun Hao coming over, Sun Yue nodded slightly at them, and said indifferently: "Sun Dan is here too. I didn't see you when we assembled in the morning. I'm still worried that you won't be able to catch up with the hospital exam. Sun Jiayi Among all the schoolchildren, only you and Sun Gui are likely to pass the exam, it would be a pity if you miss the exam. However, it’s okay to be late for the exam, and it will be good for you to practice more and write more articles.”

Although his tone was indifferent, there was an indescribable arrogance: "I missed the last episode because of my health, but the training of more than a year has made me more confident, and my writing has become more sophisticated. Looking back, Not necessarily a good thing for me."

Sun Dan was tired of hearing it, and didn't want to say anything.

Then there was a student from the Sun family complimenting him: "Brother Yue, how did you do in this exam, can you pass?"

"Nonsense, even Brother Yue won't pass, so there's no need for us to take the exam."

Listening to the students' questions, Sun Yue replied with a hint of color in his eyebrows, "If you want to, you must win."

Another round of compliments.

Sun Hao curled his lips and snorted.

Sun Dan didn't want to talk nonsense with Sun Yue, so he quietly walked to Sun Jia's side and said, "Sun Jia, have you been waiting here all day?"

Sun Jia nodded and whispered, "I won't go back until you come out."

Sun Dan smiled silently: "Aren't you afraid your mother will scold you?"

"Auntie doesn't care about me." Sun Jia said suddenly proudly: "Auntie Jing still owes me 20 taels of silver, which annoys me, so I asked her to pay it back."

Sun Dan was horrified, and the reminder was sent to his mother. This Sun Jia is really powerful.

He seems to have heard people say that Aunt Jing's family has two brothers, both of whom are run-down sluts who only know how to fool around.Once he ran out of money, he ran to the Sun Mansion to ask Aunt Jing for money, and if he didn't give it, he would make a fuss.Aunt Jing was very careful in the mansion, how could she lose face, but whenever the two brothers came to her, they would give money away.

However, Aunt Jing didn't have much money, so she probably borrowed a lot from her daughter.

Being soft on people and soft on others, she is probably a little afraid of Sun Jia's daughter.

Just about to laugh, suddenly, someone shouted: "Look, the little genius of the Sun family has come out."

"What, the little genius has come out."

With a yell, countless people rushed towards Sun Jia's shed, squeezing the three sheds made of bamboo poles and reed mats to the point of reclining.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, it's going to collapse!" The book seller shouted, and several schoolchildren of Sun's family also shouted loudly.

Sun Dan was taken aback, and hurriedly protected Sun Jia behind him.

Sun Yue thought that everyone was coming to see him, so he quickly stood up with a smile on his face, bowed in circles, and was about to speak, when a student with the appearance of a scribe led two family members and pushed the crowd to the front: "Who is the young genius of the Sun family? A young man from Jinan Tongshengshi came to ask for advice."

When Sun Yue heard the name, he seemed to have some impressions.He remembered that this man was quite famous among the children of Jinan Prefecture. His father had won the Juren, and he was considered a gentleman and celebrity in Jinan Prefecture.This Shi youth was enlightened at the age of six, and passed the county and government exams at the age of 12.It's a pity that I got stuck in the courtyard test, which lasts for six years.

However, Shi Qingnian has been studying quietly for the past six years, and his writing has become more sophisticated and sophisticated, and he can be regarded as a well-known talent in Shandong.If there is no accident, this subject should be able to pass.

Sun Yue considers himself a young talent, and Shi Qingnian is a young talent, and when a talented person sees a talented person, he naturally cherishes each other.

Sun Yue hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands: "Sun Yue from the Sun Family of the Marquis of Huichang is ashamed to see Brother Shi Nian."

"Wrong, wrong!" Shi Qingnian waved his hands again and again: "Brother Yue, don't be offended, I'm looking for the young talent Sun Dan from your Sun family, that Sun Dan who is chasing the wind and waves."

The smile on Sun Yue's face froze, and all the Sun's schoolchildren around him also quieted down, and at the same time, they turned their eyes to Sun Dan who was chatting with Sun Jia.

Sun Hao thought that Sun Yue, a brother with eyes on the top of his head, was not pleasing to the eye. Hearing what Shi Qingnian said, he burst out laughing.He pulled Sun Dan over, pointed at him and said, "Brother Shi Nian, this is the young talent you are looking for."
