The Hanlin Academy was rushing to fill in the papers for the Prince, and several of the test-taking officers received the test papers from the Chinese Academy and immediately marked the papers, and the results came out a day later.
Because Daming does not have the habit of scoring by question, this group of people still divides the grades according to the four grades of circle, point, point and vertical when grading the paper. The students selected by Sinology did not answer the top and vertical grades. Most of them were drawn circles, and there were only a few dots. The judges counted the number of dots on each paper and ranked them. .
Four out of the nine people have drawn full circles, and the remaining five have only slightly incomplete answers in the following big questions, and there are at most three or four dots in a red circle.
Several examiners looked at these papers and felt relieved: "Our questions are quite detailed, and if we can do this, it can be seen that the students of Beijian are not weak in academic ability. , I'm getting more and more eager to read."
This era doesn't pay much attention to the psychology of students. The princes who teach and accompany the prince should be the best talents, and those who are less qualified are not qualified to be in his eyes.
It doesn't matter how he did in the exam... If he did well in the exam, he was naturally intelligent; if he did not do well in the exam, he was talented, but he also needed to listen to lectures and learn a lot. As for being punished for not learning well, maybe there is such a thing in ordinary palaces, but there is absolutely no such thing in the crown prince.
In the early years, when the lecturers at the feasts served the emperor, it was a good deal to be able to go from kneeling to talking to standing. When serving the emperor of the country, they could at most persuade them a few words, and they wanted to be like teaching ordinary students son
Heaven and earth are the parents and teachers, and the two characters of monarch and minister are the ones that weigh heavily on them.
The lecturers corrected the ink rolls of several people. After the daily lectures, they entered the Chengdong Palace and asked the prince to read them.
The prince looked at the paper and asked first, "Which one belongs to Cui Qing?"
Xu Pu pointed to the top one and said, "This is Cui Xie's. Except for him, they are all young talents and juren selected by examinations in Chinese studies, and there is also a sixteen-year-old Jie Yuan paper, all of which have been answered well. not bad."
The prince first picked up Cui Xie's paper and looked at it. Seeing that his handwriting was neat and beautiful, he couldn't help but nodded. Looking at the answers on the paper again, it is also simple and precise, with red circles around the answer. The papers at the bottom are generally similar. They are written in the pavilion style. The answers are neat and neat, full of red circles, only a few points in the back.
There were some mistakes in what he did himself, and when he saw these almost correct papers, he couldn't help sighing: "Gu Yuan thought that he was not bad at learning, but after reading the examination papers of these talented people, he realized that Gu still has many shortcomings. "
Li Xueshi advised: "Study in the East Palace is more valuable to increase knowledge, to have a broad mind, to observe the changes of the past and the present, and to understand the way of the sages, how is it the same as that of ordinary scholars. These students all aim to assist the sages, and if they cannot study the scriptures carefully, How can he do things for the imperial court and relieve the worries of the saints? When the prince sees these talents, he should be happy for His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty."
The prince respected the lecturer, and immediately changed his face and thanked him: "Sir is right, these students have done well, so they should be rewarded."
What the East Palace can give is nothing more than some pen and ink and new books. If it is an official, it should also give taels of silver and new banknotes. However, this companion was also a newly added position. There were no rules before, and it was not easy to compare with lecturers, so he gave a few new notes and a few piles of brocade palace flowers.
Cui Xie was in the best grade, with Fei Hong, Wang Chen, and Qu Shen each getting ten palace flowers, a little less than five and only got five. Qiu Jijiu personally gave their rewards and encouraged everyone to study and do problems with all their hearts in the future, so as to live up to the kindness of the sage and the prince.
The nine people put flowers on the scarf on the spot, boasting of grace. They are all young, and they are not ugly in life. They look good with flowers.
After the instructors who were in charge of them such as Jijiu and Jiancheng left, everyone looked at each other and made fun of the palace flowers on their heads, praising each other that the palace flowers were really beautiful, like new scholars. A few people walked out the door talking and laughing. Passers-by saw their row of new brocade flowers planted high in their arms, with rewards in their arms, and everyone showed a high-spirited look, and they couldn't help but envy their fortunes.
It's a pity that they are either too old or not educated enough to envy them for this glory.
After the nine people left Biyong, they each went to Xuezhai. When they were about to part, Fei Hong stopped Cui Xie and told him to stand under the porch, hesitating for a while before saying, "I haven't had a chance to talk to you before, and because the things you asked me to do were not completed. , I didn't tell you..."
What "charged a man to do"? Cui Xie blinked, looking at him for unknown reasons.
Fei Hong glanced at Bi Yong and said in a low voice, "A while ago, your classmates came to me and asked me to ask Sir Siye if Xu Ju'anzhai could publish his lecture outline..."
Oh... that's it! Because he must be the one who copied the notes, even if he prints it out, it will benefit others, but he forgot about it later!
Cui Xie patted his forehead, and his strength almost pushed the square scarf down. Seeing that he seemed to remember, Fei Hong continued: "I asked Siye, but he didn't say no. It's just that he has taught for so many years, so he doesn't need to give the outline for a long time, he is all about it in the hall, and he can't do it for a while. I can’t summarize it. Even if I summarize it, I have to meditate and revise it before printing it into a book. I’m afraid you will have to wait a few years for it to be printed.”
Just promise, just wait! Cui Xie's spirit was immediately lifted, and he smiled and discussed with Fei Hong: "I listened to Si Ye's lectures on Mencius this year, and I have compiled a lot of notes. Brother Fei, please pass it to Siye on my behalf?"
Fei Hong also heard that he remembered his notes well, but he never had the chance to see them, and he was a little moved, so he said, "He Zhongcheng is a kind person. Then I'll show your notes to my uncle first. It's up to him."
Cui Xie held his hand warmly and said, "Tomorrow, I will find the notes in front of me and give them to you! This book will be printed in the future, and it will be called "The Four Must-Read Notes Series for the Two Examinations of the Township Association—Famous Teacher Fei Siye of the Imperial College." Mencius, how?"
Must-read Notes No. 4... Do you still have to publish "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Analects"? But "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" were taught as sacrifices to wine, and the "Analects of Confucius" has not been officially opened yet. This note is empty and the previous one will not be published. Is it inappropriate to publish "Mencius" first
But why is it called "required reading notes for the two examinations of the township council", shouldn't it be called "must read for students of Guozijian"
Fu Jieyuan returned to the school with doubts, but Cui Xie was full of energy, and planned a career blueprint—
It happened that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was finished in five more volumes, so the shopkeeper Ji and Cui Qi both asked him what new book was coming out. He originally planned to publish Lu Ju and their poverty alleviation and student aid group's "Shi Shi Ji"; then publish a set of "Journey to the West" drama script; after that, he would have to spend money to buy manuscripts, engage in marketing, and promote IP. Now... But Fei Hong's arrival has brought him a new business direction!
Ju Anzhai is different from the original Zhirong Study. You can't just do those romance novels just to make money. You should produce this kind of expensive, high-end, scientific examination review materials that earn the money of dead scholars!
Not only the "Notes on the Two Tests of the Township Association", but also "XX sets of new test papers for the township test", "XX sets of new test papers for the test", "Guozijian Learning Experience Collection", "Jiangxi Jieyuan Interpretation of Township Test Questions"...
Why don't you also publish "Review Notes of Yongping Mansion Xiaosanyuan" and "Anthology of Yongping Mansion Xiaosanyuan Guozijian"
With the ambition to serve the candidates all over the world, he handed over the "Mencius" notes he had compiled earlier to Fei Hong. On the day of the National School holiday, with the intention of meeting his parents, he proposed to Xie Ying in person to invite him to his home to celebrate the old man's birthday.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ying agreed.
Cui Xiebei was full of persuasion, and told him that "Okay" was all stuck in his throat, and he was speechless for a long time.
Xie Ying said with a smile: "I said I would go to your house for a long time, but I never found a chance. On your grandfather's birthday, you will definitely invite relatives, friends and neighbors to your door. Prepare the post, just bring the gift yourself, and tell the door, don't ask them to stop me."
"How can that be..." Cui Xie looked at him and laughed for some reason: "You've grown up like this, and you'll get your eyes on you wherever you go. Even if I invite more people to come, you will definitely be the most eye-catching when you come. one of."
Xie Ying touched his cheek and made him laugh, then shook his head and said, "Don't you have a lot of young and handsome scholars in your Guozijian, as well as those from the official family, I'm not too good compared to them? In short, just don't mention that I'm Jin Yiwei."
Cui Xie narrowed his eyes, stared at him and said, "It's too late. I told people when I was treating guests that I have a savior, Qianhu Jinyiwei, who is decent and kind. I am willing to hand it in. I also said that when my grandfather celebrates his birthday, I must invite him over there…”
"Those people know you, and they all want to see what this honest and righteous Jin Yiwei hero looks like."
Xie Ying was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, with a bright look on his brows, as if the light was shining: "If I am restricted by my identity again, people will look down on me. Do more honesty and justice, so that I can be worthy of the reputation you have spoken out for me."
He sorted out his thoughts, and then asked about the business: "Lingzu's birthday is always going to be lively, but it's called a troupe? Since people are called to the house, they must be called for some entertainment and wine, otherwise they will always feel dull and boring. If you If you can’t make a reservation, I’ll ask Gao Baihu for you, he looks like a little patriarch in Jiaofang now, and the troupes outside also recognize him, and would rather flatter him if he pushes others.”
Cui Xie raised his eyebrows, and said in half surprise, "I haven't heard about Gao Baihu these days, but he is already so famous? But my family manager can also find someone, I never thought of looking for him..."
Ju Anzhai is also popular with many opera troupes and trick girls, and there is no one who can't be called by the shopkeeper, so he doesn't bother. However, Xie Ying persuaded him again that he had to solemnly post a message to Gao Su, whether he came or not, he came back, and since he had friendship, he could not be left behind on such important matters.
"He called Eunuch Gao to keep him around since he was a child, and he is used to a cat temperament that all husbands have, so he has to play along the hair. If you treat him well, he will purr close to you; if the care is not diligent enough , go against his will, maybe he will have his claws bright."
Aw... Eunuch Gao and Gao Baihu are actually like this, the arrogance of the Ming Dynasty is beyond the standard!
Or Xie Ying has a good temper, as expected of the person he likes at first sight!
Because the exam was imminent, Xie Ying was afraid of delaying his review, so he didn't leave him for lunch, and asked someone to take him home early. When Cui Xie got home, he took the newly printed beauty paper and wrote an invitation letter full of paper, and sprinkled a few drops of flower dew that had just come out of the cellar, and asked the shopkeeper Ji to send it to Gao's house.
Gao Baihu has been receiving divine favor these days, and he has been tasked with setting up the stage for several plays, and he really didn't have the time to give him a small fourth-rank counselor to celebrate his birthday. However, because of Cui Xie's ability and character, he also ordered a four-color gift, and asked his butler to deliver it to Cui's house ahead of schedule.
One to two to go, it is the day of the scientific examination.
In March, it was time to wear jackets, but the talents who took the test could only wear single-stitched clothes and single-stitched thin-soled shoes, and waited outside the examination room at the third drum in the morning. When it came time to check the entrapment, he had to take off only a deep coat, and stand barefoot on the cold ground with his shoes and socks on his back.
What's more painful is that the test shed is still an old thing built during the test of the test house. At that time, it was a perfunctory piece of work, and the tables and chairs that were purchased did not know how much embezzlement. In fact, I'm afraid I have to sit on the ground.
The only good news is that there is only one exam in this exam, and there are few questions.
Because the papers of more than 1,000 candidates were all judged by the academic officials themselves, it was troublesome to give out the five classics questions, so Chen Yushi saved some time and only issued two four-book questions: one was the "Da Zai Yao Zhi Deeds" in "The Analects of Confucius". The Lord also" chapter; the other is the four lines of "The Poetry Clouds Zhou Although the Old State" in "Mencius Teng Wen Gong Shang".
The Confucian scholars from the two Beijing townships were selected according to the number of interpreters in one to twenty-five. There are thousands of Confucian scholars in Shuntian Prefecture. Only 2,300 people are allowed to pass the scientific examination, and they should take the Shuntian township examination next year. Thousands of people from several counties in Shuntian Prefecture gathered in this examination shed. Even in a large county like Daxing County, only seven or eight people can pass the examination.
Chen Tixue stood on the top of the examination room with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like torches, and he said heavily: "This official is different from the previous academic administration. Raise your hand. If you do well in the test, you will be good. If you are not good, you will be swept to the last three gears according to the rules. Those who should be beaten and those who should be dismissed will be dismissed. It looks good, so I randomly stuffed you all into the third gear!"
The author has something to say: The scientific exam is not a serious exam anyway, so just abbreviate it, I won't write too much
