Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 44

Probably because of the ruthlessness of the crazy boy, it was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Xiling Village that no one dared to mention him for a long time after he left.

But no matter how much they feared him, the rest of the day had to go on as usual. Once the days get busy, everyone will soon forget the unpleasant past.

This year's county examination started on the eighth day of February. Shen Chenyu and several senior brothers rushed to Qingcheng County early on the first day of February. Afterwards, under the leadership of Mr. Liu, they filled out the information and signed up in the county government office together, and waited for the county examination on the eighth day of February.

A scholar is the first step in the imperial examination. You need to pass the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination to become a scholar.

Among them, the county examination and the government examination are put together, collectively referred to as the children's examination. As long as you pass the county and government examinations, you are already a child. Even if you don't pass the subsequent college exam, you don't need to take the first two exams if you continue to take the college exam.

Because the imperial examination is to select talents, it has the ability to "be a farmer in the morning and enter the Tianzitang in the evening", and change the family status easily, so the imperial examination has been strict throughout the dynasties.

In order to avoid taking the exam or cheating, there are many requirements when registering for the imperial examination. Not only do candidates need to be innocent within three generations, but they also need to fill in the candidate's name, age, place of origin, height, weight, appearance, etc.

Even in the imperial examinations of some dynasties, painters were hired to paint portraits of candidates, and they had to enter the venue against the portraits during the exam.

In addition, five candidates who are taking the same exam are required to bond with each other, and then a student from the county will be the guarantee. In order to ensure that the examinee is innocent, not during the period of mourning, not a descendant of slavery, not a test taker, etc.

I also said before that five candidates who take the same exam form bonds with each other. If one of the five candidates cheats, the other candidates will also lose their qualifications for the exam.

When Shen Chenyu signed up, there was also a young painter who helped them draw simple portraits. Because there are many candidates and the time is short, most of the portraits only draw the characteristics of each person.

If you have a square face, draw a big square face, and if you have a big nose, draw a big nose. The lower line of small characters is the description of the appearance, and the height of the face is written emphatically.

When it was Shen Chenyu's turn, the young painter stared at him for a long time, probably because Shen Chenyu had no outstanding features, the other party just drew two simple strokes, and then wrote under Shen Chenyu's portrait: "The face is like a crown jade , comparable to Pan An."

Shen Chenyu glanced at him carelessly, although his appearance was indeed good-looking, he always felt that the other party was a bit exaggerated. Especially when she saw that the other party's ears were red, Shen Chenyu became more sure of her guess.

...

Shen Chenyu has the cultures of the two worlds stuffed in his mind. Compared with the native scholars in this world, he has the knowledge of the two worlds, which is quite a disadvantage.

Because when he saw an exam question, he would involuntarily translate it in vernacular. After Shen Chenyu figured out the content of the exam question, he would translate it into classical Chinese through the original owner and his own knowledge base. In this way, not only will his speed of doing the questions be greatly reduced, but he may also answer the wrong questions due to some cultural differences.

Although the master and senior brothers said that Shen Chenyu is very sure that he can pass the children's test this time, but Shen Chenyu has never really played, and he doesn't know how he can do in the test. But no matter how well he did in the exam, Shen Chenyu's mentality is still stable.

To Shen Chenyu's surprise, he met Feng Dahan in the inn. It stands to reason that Feng Dahan is already a child student, and the college examination will not be taken until August. What is he going to Qingcheng County for now?

Because the lazy man's family was taken away, Shen Chenyu had no direct evidence, and he didn't have much time since the county examination was coming, so he didn't bother to find Feng Dahan. Seeing Feng Dahan appearing here at this time, Shen Chenyu couldn't help ringing the alarm in her heart.

It wasn't until Shen Chenyu chatted with several senior brothers that he realized why Feng Dahan came here now. This person has often been like this in the past few years, always squandering the money given by his family in Qingcheng County under the pretense that he is coming to take part in the imperial examination.

The reason why Feng Dahan came here earlier this year, besides coaxing the family's money out to squander, is another very important reason. I don't know how he tricked his wife into asking him to bring a group of juniors to participate in the county examination. What are you talking about, he is now a child student anyway, he is more experienced in both the county examination and the government examination, it is safer for him to bring his juniors to participate in the imperial examination.

Feng Dahan is the best at saving face, coaxing his wife and juniors around, everyone thinks he is a very warm-hearted person, a group of ignorant teenagers all look forward to him.

Shen Chenyu had heard those people compliment each other more than once in such a short time while eating, and couldn't help but slightly lowered her head and smiled softly.

Before, he thought these teenagers were miserable, but he met such a wicked senior brother like Feng Dahan. Later, it was discovered that they were just like dogs of a feather, and Shen Chenyu immediately put away her compassion for them.

Just when Shen Chenyu was about to leave, Feng Dahan, who had been pretending not to see him, suddenly led a group of people to block his way. Feng Dahan looked like a gentleman, shaking a folding fan in the cold and smiling: "Huh? Isn't this Brother Shen Jiayu

? I didn't expect Brother Yu to end this year?"

Putting on a decent smile, he called Feng Dahan softly, "Brother Feng."

Everyone has a love for beauty, especially these arty scholars, and some even like to paint and paint like Wei and Jin men. So when they suddenly saw Shen Chenyu's outstanding appearance, several young scholars couldn't help but shine.

A boy about 14 or 15 years old stretched out his hand and gently tugged at Feng Dahan's sleeve, looking like he was waiting for Feng Dahan to introduce him.

Feng Dahan was very upset when he saw this, but he still introduced it to everyone with a smile on his face. "This little man is Shen Chenyu from the same village as me, because he is the youngest man in the Shen family, and everyone in our village calls him Brother Yu."

After saying this, Feng Dahan introduced several people around him. These people are all Feng Dahan's juniors, the oldest is no more than twenty-five or six years old, and the youngest is no more than fourteen years old.

Later, Feng Dahan came forward, and they wanted to invite Shen Chenyu to have a drink together, and Feng Dahan's juniors were also very enthusiastic.

Shen Chenyu still remembered what happened before, and seeing that she was about to take the county test, she didn't dare to get too close to Feng Dahan at this time.

This Feng Dahan had a bad intention at first glance. Although Shen Chenyu really wanted to settle accounts with the other party, everything was more important in the subsequent county examination.

Someone noticed that Shen Chenyu was not very happy, and couldn't help asking with a slightly cold face: "Brother Shen, don't you want to give us this face?" When the

others heard the words, they quickly stretched out their hands to pull the person who spoke, and then smiled Help smooth things over.

"Although we just met each other just now, we are so destined to see each other as old friends, so don't refuse Shen Jiaxiaolang."

"Yes, yes, you and brother are from the same village, why don't we talk about the county examination together?" Things."

Although these people were trying to smooth things over on the surface, they still wanted to take Shen Chenyu away, as if they didn't want to take them away by force.

The uninformed people on the side will only think that they are too enthusiastic, but those who know their nature will only find their behavior disgusting.

The colder Shen Chenyu's heart was, the more gentle and charming the smile on his face was. Feng Dahan came here intentionally to make trouble for Shen Chenyu, and these people were clearly used as wooden warehouses.

Just as Shen Chenyu was thinking about how to get out, a dirty little beggar suddenly appeared beside him, and a group of scholars couldn't help but back away in fright.

The little beggar looked only five or six years old, with a bird's nest-like head on his head, he squeezed into the crowd at once. Holding a small bowl in his dirty little hand, he was courting many scholars with a playful smile: "Masters, please do me a favor, give me a little reward, I haven't eaten for two days."

Feng Dahan looked at his dirty little hands, and took a few steps back in disgust, completely forgetting to trouble Shen Chenyu. Seeing that everyone was attracted by the little beggar, Shen Chenyu turned around and went up to the second floor while no one noticed him.

Soon Xiao Er found the little beggar, they were doing business here, and threw the little beggar out without saying a word.

The little beggar was thrown on his ass, and he sat on the street outside the inn for a long time, and he got up when he saw that no one felt sorry for him.

Just when the little beggar was about to pat his butt and leave, a small window on the second floor of the inn was suddenly pushed open, followed by a very pleasant voice. "Little guy, take this."

Before the little beggar ran under the window, a blue purse was thrown into his arms, and the little beggar immediately caught it in a hurry. After he saw clearly the broken silver inside, he immediately carefully put the purse into his pocket.

Just when the little beggar hid his purse and was about to thank the kind handsome scholar, the window that was originally open was closed. The little beggar stared at the window for a long time, then slipped away while there was no one around.

After Shen Chenyu closed the window, she sat at the table and began to read. He didn't have extra kindness, the reason why he gave the little beggar money was just to thank him for his rescue just now.

If it wasn't for the timely appearance of the other party, it would not be easy for him to get rid of Feng Dahan and the others in public. After all, being a scholar has too much to pay attention to, and now that he is in Qingcheng County, a sensitive place, it is better for him to cause less trouble with his identity.

At the same time, the Shen family in Qingcheng County also learned about Shen Chenyu's participation in the county examination.

The Shen family in Qingcheng County has a certain status in Qingcheng County. When Shen Chenyu signed up for the county examination, someone secretly passed the news back.

The adoptive father of the original owner was also the elder of the Shen family, and he was a little anxious when he heard the news. He hadn't paid attention to the other party for a long time, completely unaware that the other party not only returned to the Shen family in Xiling Village, but also participated in this year's county examination as a son of the Shen family in Xiling Village. When they treated Shen Chenyu's family like that, he was very worried that if Shen Chenyu was really successful, he would hate them because of what happened before.

Compared to Mr. Shen's worries and fears, the original owner's adoptive mother, Shen Yushi, was much calmer. She looked at the master who was turning back and forth in front of her, and first took a sip of the fragrant tea from the teacup, and then said to the other party calmly: "What are you afraid of? They say that knowing a son is like a father, how many catties does he have?" How many taels do you still not know?"
