Chapter 562

After listening for a while, Zhou Silang said he didn't understand, so he knocked on the bowl and said, "you'd better eat quickly. You can't control it if you know. It's an official's business."

Man Bao looks at Bai Shanbao.

Bai Shanbao looked at her, took a bite of rice and said, "you have to go to the government school before you become an official."

"That's right," man Bao encouraged him with a piece of meat. "Eat more and read when you're full."

Bai Erlang looked up from the bowl. "Isn't it a holiday today?"

Bai Shanbao also stared at man Bao. "I want to read. You have to accompany me, or you all play. I can't see it."

Man Bao said there was no problem at all.

It's not easy to play outside anyway.

Bai Erlang listened and angrily pulled half of the best braised meat he felt into his bowl. He missed Qili Village and his friends in Qili Village?

As long as it's a holiday, he can go to play with them, in the village, in the river, in the mountains and in the reeds

Now, there are only two friends, there is no fun place outside, and they always read books.

Zhou Silang is not satisfied. What he admires most about Yaomei is that she can always read books and always has self-discipline.

He was dizzy at the sight of words.

When Zhou Silang was full, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I'll go out and bring you evening food in the evening, so you don't have to go out and buy it."

He said, "there should be a lot of people out for road sacrifice tonight. You are young. Don't run outside."

Man Bao asked curiously, "fourth brother, do we want to buy some incense and paper money to come back for road sacrifice?"

"There are people offering sacrifices in our family. Who are you offering sacrifices here?" Zhou Silang waved and said, "do you have to work for your handful of paper money? The ancestors flew here from the village? Don't worry, there will be no shortage of sacrifices from the ancestors when there are family members. "

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang, who wanted to join in the excitement, also stopped thinking after listening to them.

Five days after the Qingming Festival, the examination of the government school will be held.

Mr. Zhuang took Bai Shanbao to hand in his guide and recommendation letter long ago, and got the qualification of the exam.

Dajin's school system is very loose, and most of the students of the government school are recommended by Xiaxian school.

In addition to a few excellent County students, other county students have to take the exam to enter the school after they are recommended.

Of course, non County students who want to go to the government school can also recommend themselves for the exam, but you have to get a letter of recommendation from an official or a famous person.

Otherwise, you can only keep looking for the officials of the government school to recommend yourself, take a big test first, and compete for the only few test places before you can take the government school test.

Therefore, Da Jin's scholars can't do anything else. They must do well in eloquence or poetry, or they can't even get the examination quota.

If neither of them is occupied, then pray for the awesome ancestors of the ancestors to give him a good family background, so that they can not even speak well, and if they do poorly in their own poems, they will be able to get the places of examination.

Not only the government schools, but also the six schools in the Imperial College.

All localities will recommend excellent students like the six schools in the Imperial College. When these students arrive in the capital, according to the different recommendations, some can enter the school directly, and some must pass the examination first.

Six schools will take the exam every year, and those who fail will be removed from the list. Those who are excellent in both character and learning can either go out of office directly or take the Jinshi exam and then go out of office.

Of course, non six school students can also directly sign up for the Jinshi examination, but the six schools of the National Academy of Sciences represent the country's highest educational institution, and the passing rate of students educated through it is higher.

Therefore, the official career path formulated by Bai Jia and Mr. Zhuang for Bai Shanbao is a very formal and popular one. First enter the government school examination, do the best, and get the recommendation letter to go to six schools.

Then go to the capital to take the exam, enter the sixth school to study, and go to the Jinshi examination after you have achieved something.

Mr. Zhuang felt that it was enough for Bai Shan to enter the government school before he was 14, so he was not very nervous about this exam, and asked Bai Shan not to be too nervous.

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile, "we'll try this time. If we fail this year, we'll come back next year and the next year."

Bai Shanbao nodded nervously.

Man Bao encouraged him, "you can!"

Bai Shanbao asked, "what if you fail?"

"Then come out and invite us to a delicious meal."

Bai Shanbao was stunned and asked, "shouldn't you invite me? I didn't pass the exam, so sad. "

"What if you don't try your best to eat our meal?" Man Bao said boldly, "what if you love this meal and play supernormal?"

"Just a meal, shall I?"

Man Bao: "who knows, anyway, if you don't pass the exam, it will be more painful. If you pass the exam, we invite you, that's a blessing in disguise."

When the scholar waiting in line heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and look at man Bao and Bai Shanbao. Seeing that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he couldn't help mentioning his heart slightly.

Are teenagers so good now?

Shouldn't I go to kaoxian school at this age?

I think so, but there are really a lot of candidates at the same age as Bai Shanbao, there are 17 or 18.

Although the teenagers are nervous, they are also very confident. At least their heads are high.

The older the examinees, the more calm they are. At the same time, they have a lot of worries. They found that there seem to be a lot of examinees taking the government school examination this year.

Mr. Zhuang naturally found it. He sighed and felt that Bai Shan might not have a chance this year.

The number of candidates increased, but the number of places was the same, and the difficulty of the examination questions increased.

But Mr. Zhuang didn't say anything. He just reached out and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him, "go in."

Bai Shanbao took the test basket from Daji, saluted Mr. Zhuang and turned to line up.

Man Bao watched him enter the examination room, then looked around and asked, "Sir, shall we go home or wait here?"

The exam is for two days. When you arrive, you will open the door and let go. Tomorrow, you will continue to queue up early in the morning to enter the examination room.

However, the important questions are all finished today. What we need to fill tomorrow is limited poems.

After thinking about it, Mr. Zhuang said, "I'll go home first. You can do whatever you want, but Daji has to stay here and watch. In case someone calls inside, someone will support me here."

Great luck should come.

Man Bao thought and said, "then we'll stay."

Bai Erlang turned around, pointed to a teahouse and said, "there's a teahouse. Let's wait there."

There were many people waiting in the teahouse. The upstairs and downstairs were full, so the shopkeeper put the tables and chairs outside. Man Bao and the four of them occupied a table and sat down, drinking tea and waiting for the examination room to open.
