Chapter 13 Admission to the Examination Room

The chief of a county and the examiner of this exam guaranteed him. In addition to the words he said during the registration, Wu Jie thought through it and understood the joints.

The things his father in this world committed in Nanjing were wrongly accused. In order to appease the mutiny soldiers, the court used him as a scapegoat. As a member of the bureaucratic group of Shilin, the magistrate of Xinjin may not be dissatisfied with it. He could not help but feel pity for Wu Jie.

The officials in the world were originally a family. The court could sacrifice a military officer for the Nanjing mutiny today, and may not sacrifice a county magistrate for other things tomorrow. Today, the emperor has monopolized the power. Emperor Jiajing was the most wise monarch from the Ming Dynasty to Hongwu and Emperor Yongle since the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial power has expanded to a new level.

The dispute between the monarch, the prime minister, and the ministers was particularly fierce and cruel. At the beginning of the dispute between the great rituals and the foundation of the country, I don’t know how many righteous people and the ambitions were involved. How could it not make people sigh when they think of it?

It is also the duty of a gentleman to let Wu Jie go.

The exam date is six days later. During these six days, Wu Jie did not read books with his heart. Instead, he wandered around the city. Now it is the early February of the lunar calendar, which is a bright day of spring. Without the industrial pollution of later generations, the scenery of Shu is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Especially the Minjiang River in the west of the city, under the warm spring sunshine, the green and the sky are connected, making people feel as if they are about to melt in that vast blue wave.

Moth was very annoyed about Wu Jie's idleness and kept complaining in his ears, saying that you had to take the imperial examination before, but I thought you would save trouble from now on, but I didn't expect that my old illness would recur. I was also happy. If I had known this, I would have died as if I had died.

Speaking of sadness, another tear dripped.

Wu Jie replied, "I'm going to be a fool again after recurring my old illness. Do you think I'm a fool now? No, my head seems to hurt a little, and I'm confused."

As he spoke, he held his head and pretended to be in great pain. He was so scared that he quickly twisted the wet towel and wanted to cover Wu Jie's forehead.

Wu Jie pushed Mori's hand away: "I'm so funny, but I really scared you."

"You..." The little girl was so angry that she widened her eyes, and tears could still be seen at the corners of her eyes.

Wu Jie curled his lips: "Isn't it just a county examination, it's like a house burning, is that? I am a genius. Even if I don't read a word on weekdays, I will still pass the exam then."

In fact, I remember that he was also a playful person back then. When he was in college, he had a wide range of hobbies and didn’t put in much effort in studying. Many times, he picked up his books and snatched all night long on the first day of the exam. He was a liberal arts student and learned mostly rote memorization. He sharpened his guns in the face of battle and actually passed the test successfully.

Compared with later exams, this county exam is extremely difficult. It is just memorizing an eight-part essay, which only takes two thousand words to complete in minutes. Life is beautiful. Instead of wasting time in the study, it is better to walk around and enjoy this quaint Ming Dynasty life.

Besides, my body is still very weak and I should exercise my muscles and bones.

The food at home is still bad, mostly liquid food. Fortunately, in the real world, Wu Jie consciously ate and drank, and practiced blocks in the gym every day. Reality reflects the dream. After a few days, his pale cheeks became full and rosy.

After looking in the mirror and touching his face that was still thin with satisfaction, Wu Jie couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, there is still hope to be a handsome guy."

Five days later, it was time to enter the examination room tomorrow. Wu Jie still didn't read books. After drinking two big bowls of crucian carp porridge, he went to bed early and started snoring.

Seeing that Wu Jie was lazy and looked like a young man, Moth had already given up. However, the next day, she got up early and burned the stove to a prosperous place.

In ancient times, government agencies went to work early. Whether it was local institutions or central decision-making departments, they had to open their doors to work at the time of Mao. This is what is called "Dianmao".

Therefore, the county examination in Xinjin County this year is also scheduled for this time.

It's very late in early spring, especially at such dawn, where it's so dark outside that it's impossible to see your fingers.

He baked two more pancakes and stir-fried a plate of spicy chicken. Then he covered Wu Jie's face and gently wiped it up.

After applying his face, before Wu Jie opened his eyes, a mouthful of hot tea was canned into his mouth, which was fragrant and sweet, allowing him to wake up completely.

"It smells so good." When I smelled the scent of chicken, Wu Jie couldn't help but scream: "Moth, why would you be willing to make something delicious today?"

Moth didn't reply, and there was no expression in his eyes. Wu Jie didn't write a word or read a page of books these days, which made her feel a little discouraged.

After breakfast, Wu Jie was still a little sleepy. When he walked to the exam room with the exam basket, his eyes were still red, dry and astringent.

On the surface, he seems to have been having a lot of fun these days, but in fact, he has put in a lot of effort in the real world. Although he has found the test questions for this county exam in the materials in advance, although this kind of test is not difficult compared to the final exam in college.

But if the college entrance examination fails, you can take the make-up exam. If the county entrance examination fails, you can only wait for next year. Life in the Ming Dynasty seems to be beautiful, but the pressure is not smaller than that in modern society. He has fifty taels of silver on hand, but he doesn't know other means of survival. Being an official in the imperial examination is his only way out. Wu Jie suddenly feels like he can't afford to lose.

In order to cope with this exam, he printed four sample essays on his computer in advance. As soon as he arrived at the unit, he sat in the corner and recited silently. After six days, he could recite them thoroughly.

The day before the exam, he stayed up late until two o'clock in the evening before going to bed, and he is still a little depressed.

The county examination is very irregular, and the examination room is set up in the lobby of the county government. There are many candidates who come to refer to today, about thirty-nine, most of whom are twelve or thirteen years old. Wu Jie is the oldest, one head taller than others.

Because most of them are children and get up so early, the school children are escorted by their elders in the family.

When the candidates entered the lobby, the parents stood outside the door and waited, squeezing the entrance of the yamen to the point of being jammed.

When someone knew Wu Jie came, he whispered: "Isn't this the fool of Mr. Wu? Why did he come here? Could it be that he came to participate in the county exam, right?"

"It seems that a fool is here to take the exam. Isn't this nonsense?"

Wu Jie felt angry when he heard this, and he was not easy to defend himself, so he had to carry the basket and walk inside.

The government does not build a yamen. The Xinjin County yamen is broken and small, and the walls are low. Standing outside, you can see the situation inside. It is not as grand as the Chenghuang Temple in the county. After entering the court, you can still hear the parents outside whispering.

The magistrate and the yamen runners arrived early, and the lanterns illuminated the entire lobby. When the magistrate saw Wu Jie, he nodded slightly and smiled, "How are you ready?"

"I will win if I am determined."

"But I seem to have heard people say you have been out for fun these days."

Wu Jie rubbed his eyes: "Wu Jie is only here to participate in the boy's test at such an age. If a mere county test is so scared that he will be trembling as if he is walking on thin ice. If he goes to the imperial examination in the future, he will be so scared that he can't even hold the pen."

"You are confident." The magistrate laughed: "Please find a seat to take the exam number."

I thought to myself: Although Wu Jie was a little crazy and angry, but not all the scholarly families came from officials, this confidence is quite likeable.

During the Jiajing period of Longqing and Jiajing, society was stable and there was a period of cultural prosperity in the Ming Dynasty. Four masterpieces, Kunqu Opera, and the four talents of Jiangnan, Yang Shen were the cultural symbols of this period. Among them, the wildness and recklessness of the four talents of Jiangnan, Xiao Yang was also a broad-minded and strong man. It was reflected in the scholar-official class that there were many romantic and madmen. Otherwise, Yang Shen and a group of officials would have made a big fuss at Zuoshunmen and ambushed Zhang Cong. Wu Jie's leisurely complacency was just in line with the appetite of the magistrate, and he looked at him again.
