Jia Lian's carriage set off alone.
Other than the people in his own courtyard, no one knew that he had entered the Jingzhao Prefecture Examination Yard.
Jia Lian arrived rather late, and most of the students and supervisors had already gone in.
The top of the inner and outer walls of the examination hall were covered with thorny thorns. In the middle of the gate was a plaque of the examination hall. Inside was a ceremonial gate and a dragon gate. Then it was Mingyuan Building, and behind it was the court. On the east and west sides of the court were outer curtains for the management personnel to live in. After arriving at the court hall, there was an inner curtain for the examiner to live in. Each row of rooms is arranged in the order of 1,000 words in "Thousand Character Text." Each row is a number, hundreds of rooms are a row, there are more than 9,000 rooms in total. There was a gate at the entrance of the alley and a toilet at the end of the alley. After the examinee entered the number, he would close and lock the gate. He could only open it when he handed in his paper.
Jia Lian carried the box and the bag, intending to enter.
"Second Master!"
Lin Zhixiao caught up behind him, panting heavily, and handed another bundle to Jia Lian." This is the brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and other things that the master prepared for you."”
Jia Lian's face turned red. This was equivalent to entering the examination hall for the college entrance examination. Only then did he realize that he did not bring his admission ticket, ID card, and pen.
This was a method that he had not prepared at all.
Jia Lian entered the examination hall and was fortunate enough to experience a body search in the corridor.
The inspector in front of him even looked at Jia Lian with his hands behind his back. There was contempt under his eyes." The provincial examination is to recruit talents for the country. It's not something that anyone can muddle through. If you have any thoughts of getting lucky, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Go back to where you came from!"
Jia Lian smiled." Your Excellency, I have also studied the Four Books and Five Classics. Although I have not experienced the cold and heat, I am not inferior to those people inside."”
The inspector snorted coldly." If you really have knowledge in your heart, then I have nothing to say. But if you're not well-versed in literature, then be careful that I'll immediately chase you out." Even your qualifications as a supervisor have been revoked.”
"How can you be so sure that I'm unlearned and incompetent?" Jia Lianye sneered. If he didn't have three taels, how could he come here and ask for a snub?”
"Remember your words, or else the reputation of the late Duke Rong will be ruined." Go in!"
Jia Lian did not expect to be reprimanded as soon as he entered. So what if he was a silkpants?
Who said that silkpants couldn't take the imperial examination?
Who said that the heir of the title could not take the imperial examination?
Jia Lian walked around and came to his room.
The room was very narrow. There were only two wooden boards. The upper board was used as a table for writing the answers, and the lower board was used as a chair. At night, the two boards were put together to serve as a bed.
The exam was divided into three sessions, one every three days. On the ninth day of August, the first round would be the Analects of Confucius, the Doctrine of the Meanings, the Great Learning, the Mencius, a five-character and eight-rhyme poem, and four classics. The first three questions of the four books would require more than 200 words each, and the four questions of the classics would require more than 300 words. The second round was held on the 12th. The test was one of the Five Classics, as well as one of the imperial edict, judgment, table and patent. The argumentative essay was required to be more than 300 words. On the 15th, the third session was to try to express opinions or opinions on current affairs and government affairs with five current affairs policies combined with Confucian classics theory.
Therefore, for the next nine days, he basically had to stay in this grid where he couldn't even straighten his feet.
Jia Lian had studied hard for two months and read ten lines at a glance. At least he didn't have to hand in a blank paper.
When Jia Lian entered the examination hall, there was no response from the Rong Mansion.
It had been a few days since the old lady realized that one of her grandsons had not come to pay his respects, so she asked Sister Phoenix.
"My son went to the provincial examination the other day!" Sister Feng told her with a smile.”
"Amitabha!" "It's good to try," the old lady nodded.”
Then, there was nothing else.
Instead, it was the few sisters, Yingchun Tanchun and Xichun, who were concerned about him and secretly found Bodhisattva to worship.
Jia Lian was trapped in the examination hall and it was really difficult to bear.
The Four Classics had less than 2,000 words, and there were at least 70 to 80 five-character poems.
Therefore, Jia Lian finished all the questions on the first day and spent the rest of the time doing whatever he wanted. He calmed down and thought about how he should walk in the future. What should he do with his sisters who were still suffering?
On the 11th, the first round ended. He went home and took a quick shower. He came back with food and continued with the second round.
This test was for practical writing. It wasn't difficult. If he wrote randomly, it wouldn't be Chinese at most. How could he stray from the topic?
When it came to the third round, it was purely a discussion topic. In this era, who could see the nature of the situation better than Jia Lian? Who else could offer a more constructive suggestion than Jia Lian?
Of course not.
So, overall, it didn't seem to be as difficult as he had imagined?
When Jia Lian jumped down from the carriage, his face sallow and emaciated, there was no welcoming banquet in the Rong residence.
Old Mrs. Han concluded the matter with a simple sentence.
Otherwise, what else could he do?
Baoyu wanted to eat the white sugar, which was sweet and greasy. He didn't know where he had put it earlier. He asked Yuanyang Zhenzhu and the others to look for it for a long time before they found a little.
Old Mrs. Han anxiously ordered for them to go out and buy some." There's none in the Divine Capital. Go to Jinling, Gusu, and Panyu to buy some!”
The next day, Jia Lian, who had already recovered, felt refreshed.
"Feng 'er, you're still not well. Rest first. I'll go to Jixian Street to take a look at the shops. I haven't been there for a long time.”
Phoenix Sister said," The furnace in Xiaohuizhi Alley was demolished according to the wishes of the palace. It was rebuilt in an empty space behind Jixian Street. It was said that the scale was several times larger. Now that Jia Yi and the others had become stewards inside, they reported yesterday that it was almost complete. It was estimated that they could produce large glass pieces that were eight feet wide and twelve feet long. However, they had to give priority to the construction of the inner glass hall. You can go and take a look."
Jia Lian was in such a hurry to go to Jianmei Zhai. What Feng Jie said was important and couldn't be careless. But more importantly, according to the information, Ke Qing would go to Kaiyuan Temple in the morning to pray for blessings.
This kind of opportunity was rare, so he had to meet her.
