A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 34

      Students communicate.

    As the highest university of Daxuan, the opening of Guozijian is naturally unusual. As soon as the second wave of the morning drum fell, the gates of the various square cities in Chang’an would be pushed open, and horse-drawn carriages would file out and finally gather outside the Anfu Gate.

    Guozijian only recruits 300 people a year, these children can be described as either rich or expensive. Law studies, among which calligraphy, arithmetic, and law train specialists in writing, arithmetic, and law, while the other three train generalists.

    Guozixue, Taixue, and Simenxue mainly study Confucian classics, among which Guozixue is the most valuable. The Guozi School has 72 students and the descendants of the third grade and above; the Taixue has 140 students and the children of the fifth grade and above; the four schools have 130 students and the descendants of the seventh grade and above. If there are underprivileged children with outstanding talents and learning, they can also be recommended by local officials and recommended to study in the four schools, but it is conceivable that such people are very few.

    Xiao Jingduo entered the Guozi School. The third rank of the Xuan Dynasty is basically the highest official position. The first and second ranks are mostly given to old officials who have died of illness or are serving as officials. Most of them are false titles. Those who really hold power in the dynasty are all third-rank officials. Imagine how harsh the conditions are. Although Xiao Ying’s official position is not enough for third-rank, but he has the title of nobility and is the second-rank, so Xiao Jingduo’s qualifications for entering the national school are enough.

    The carriage of Dingyong Hou’s Mansion brought Xiao Jingduo to Anfu Gate and stopped, not only Dingyong Hou’s Mansion, but many other people’s carriages also stopped here. How can the official’s family’s carriage be allowed to pass when the official is still on foot? Different from the students who were beside him, Xiao Jingduo said goodbye to the people of Dingyonghou’s mansion without any lingering, and strode towards Anfu Gate with the book boy.

    After rejecting the old lady’s move to sell a book boy that day, Xiao Jingduo went to the West Market to buy a book boy and came back. Xiao Jingduo asked him his first and last name, the man just shook his head, and later Xiao Jingduo simply asked him to be named Xiao and named Lin. Xiao Lin didn’t talk much, and was silent most of the time, but he handled things very neatly. Xiao Jingduo was secretly satisfied and bought him from Ren Yazi.

    After entering Anfu Gate, you can see Guozijian at first sight. At this time, there were people coming and going in the Imperial Supervisor, and there were vigorous young people with turban hair everywhere. Just looking at them made people feel hopeful. Xiao Jingduo’s mood also improved unconsciously, with a smile on his lips, he walked quickly towards the Imperial College.

    Xiao Jingduo came to the Imperial College for the first time, and the procedures were more complicated, not as easy as returning students. These formalities should be handled with the company of the family, and the more powerful people simply let their servants do it for them, but Xiao Jingduo is an outlier among them, and he takes care of everything by himself.

    After completing the documents, you can go to the school. Xiao Lin silently followed behind Xiao Jingduo. Xiao Jingduo glanced casually and didn’t pay much attention to it.

    When he was in the West Market that day, Xiao Lin was not the best candidate among them, he was not even qualified. After all, as a book boy, you need to be smart and sweet. The environment of Guozijian is complicated, and a smart book boy is more important, so other people will choose the smartest one from the entourage. Stuffy like a saw-mouth gourd.

    As a book boy, Xiao Lin is undoubtedly unqualified, but Xiao Jingduo himself doesn’t care. On the contrary, Xiao Jingduo felt that it was more wrong to say more, such a person who was taciturn but did things quickly was the best.

    The school will be here in no time. Xiao Jingduo followed the number and pushed open his apartment.

    Perhaps because of the remoteness of this house, it looks more spacious than other school buildings. There are two beds on the east and west sides of the house, two bookcases side by side under the window, and the pads are stacked under the bookcases. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

    For a student of Guozi School, such a school is too simple, but Xiao Jingduo feels very comfortable. Compared to Qingyuan Temple, the schoolhouse was much more luxurious, and he was used to living in Buddhist temples, let alone here.

    Xiao Jingduo knew for a long time that the school house was for two people to live in one room. It seemed that his roommate had not yet arrived. Xiao Jingduo was influenced by Buddhist temples and loved cleanliness very much. He was planning to clean up the house. But Xiao Lin snatched it first. Xiao Lin grabbed the water basin, fetched water from outside, and began to scrub the school building.

    Only then did Xiao Jingduo realize that there was a book boy beside him, he pinched his eyebrows and tried to adapt to this change. Since Xiao Lin robbed him of his work, Xiao Jingduo had nothing to do, so he could only sit in front of the desk and read.

    After a while, the door was violently pushed open, followed by a carefree voice: “Damn, why is the room assigned to me so far, I’m exhausted!”

    Xiao Jingduo raised his head when he heard the sound, and the outsider stepped over the threshold.

    Xiao Jingduo was displeased.

    The other party also knew that his reaction was exaggerated, he smiled and said: “I’m rude! But you can’t blame me, you know what you look like. In other words, I really never thought about a man To grow up like you…”

    Xiao Jingduo was even more displeased.

    Xiao Jingduo spent the past three years cultivating his body and mind on Zhongnan Mountain. He was cleansed by the air in the mountains, and the outline of his face was smooth and handsome, his eyes were extremely dark, and his skin was extremely white. The bottom is clear and beautiful, but Xiao Jingduo’s facial features and outlines are obviously male, not feminine, but at first glance, he is a clean and beautiful young man, which surprised Bai Jiayi.

    Xiao Jingduo was accustomed to other people’s eyes, and he has become more and more popular with women in recent years. Xiao Jingduo has a cold temperament and ignores it. It’s too much to make such a reaction, isn’t it?

    Bai Jiayi did not receive Xiao Jingduo’s dislike, he was still staring at Xiao Jingduo’s face and was amazed, is his future roommate so good-looking? Bai Jiayi suddenly looked forward to his sad reading life.

    Bai Jiayi watched for a while, and then realized that he seemed to have forgotten something. He quickly said, “I forgot to introduce myself just now. My name is Bai Jiayi, a child from an ordinary family.”

    Ordinary people? Xiao Jingduo didn’t believe it, he exposed the other party mercilessly: “You must be a descendant of a third-rank official at the lowest level to enter the country. How can this be called an ordinary family?”

    Bai Jiayi scratched his head: “Ah, there is such a saying? My ancestors did have a high-ranking official, I heard that my grandfather was an official in the former court to the third rank, but later our family fell down, troubled times The middle-aged men died one after another, leaving only a family of children, and now, I am the only man left.”

    Xiao Jingduo was silent for a while, thinking in his heart, that is indeed a failure.

    Bai Jiayi didn’t know that Xiao Jingduo was burying him in his heart, and he was still sighing: “Grandma really, you have to send me to study, I really don’t want to do it again…”

    Bai Jiayi is the only male left in the Bai family. He is a little green in the midst of thousands of flowers. He is usually not well cared for. Bai Jiayi enjoys this kind of treatment. Was forced to study. For this reason, the grandmother specially entrusted the old man, just to let him study hard and restore the glory of the Bai family as soon as possible.

    Bai Jiayi was unwilling in his heart, and he didn’t want his grandmother to waste precious favors for this.

    Bai Jiayi sighed deeply, his peach eyes also dimmed. Bai Jiayi is fair and beautiful, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that are picked up with a smile, which is quite romantic and suave. Even if his face is sluggish at the moment, he can still arouse the love and pity of the woman.

    This is Xiao Jingduo’s first impression of his roommate, a condescending … playboy.

    After a break, it’s time for the official class the next day. This group of newly enrolled Guozijian students first went to worship Confucius, and then sat in the main hall, listening to the sacrifice wine and saying some words of encouragement.

    “…You can enter the Imperial College, this is a blessing in your life. The saints have high hopes for you, and the court has also treated you a lot. You should encourage yourself, study hard, and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. Serve the imperial court. The students of Guozijian do not need to take the county and state exams. After graduation, they will automatically be eligible for the imperial examination. They can go to the Ministry of Rites to register for the scientific examination in the same year. , yearly exam, graduation exam, ten-day exam once every ten days, yearly exam once a year, not to mention graduation exam, everyone has to take it. Those who fail will not only be unable to obtain the status of a student in the imperial examination, and the Imperial College will not recognize you as a student supervisor. The sage reopened the imperial examinations and revitalized culture and education to encourage scholars all over the world. As leaders, you must not let down the sage’s expectations for you…”

    Bai Jiayi was drowsy when he heard it, he forced his eyelids up, and saw Xiao Jingduo sitting upright, without slack from beginning to end. Bai Jiayi felt incredible and secretly asked Xiao Jingduo, “Aren’t you tired?”

    Xiao Jingduo glanced at Bai Jiayi and ignored him.

    Bai Jiayi became more and more frustrated, and said again: “We talk secretly, and we can’t hear it!”

    “The sacrificial wine is being drunk, listen carefully and don’t speak.”

    Bai Jiayi opened his mouth in surprise, God, he hasn’t encountered such a strange thing for a long time, Xiao Jingduo not only listened to the same school opening speech, but even told him not to speak?

    Bai Jiayi shook his head, feeling deeply that he and Xiao Jingduo were not from the same world, so he had to withdraw his body and continue to deal with doze.

    The sacrificial wine was still in a long speech, but there was a sudden commotion outside the door. A person who looked like a servant walked in, smiled and saluted the sacrifice wine: “I have seen the sacrifice wine, and I have seen the doctors and teaching assistants.”

    The sacrificial wine hurriedly came down and returned the salute with other officials of the Guozijian: “It turned out to be Eunuch Gao, how did Eunuch have time to come to the Guozijian today?”

    “His Royal Highness remembered that today is the day of the school’s opening of the Imperial College, and His Highness wanted to come to congratulate himself, but he was troubled by political affairs and could not spare the time, so he could only ask the miscellaneous family to come with gifts, congratulations on offering wine again Excellent talent!”

    “His Royal Highness really has a heart!” Jijiu smiled, obviously the prince’s move made him very proud. Jijiu and Eunuch Gao came to talk to me about the scene, Bai Jiayi couldn’t help but scolded Xiao Jingduo and said in a low voice, “His Royal Highness is really good at being a man…”

    Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Jiayi, and rarely became stern: “Don’t be rude!”

    “Huh?” Bai Jiayi felt inexplicable, this person is so old-fashioned? He can’t say anything about the prince? Bai Jiayi was boring, and said to himself: “But casually, you are not someone from the prince, so what are you doing on the line like this…”

    Xiao Jingduo glanced at Bai Jiayi and said nothing.

    After the long and complicated worship ceremony was over, the freshmen Xiao Jingduo went to pick up the books. Before they could do anything, it was dark.

    The book boy lives in the utility room and does not live with the master. The students who had been tired all day returned to the dormitory, and they immediately started to make a fuss.

    Fortunately, Xiao Jingduo’s house was located in a remote place, and the noise of other students was very weak, which did not affect reading.

    Xiao Jingduo turned the page again, Bai Jiayi was really bored, and couldn’t help but say, “I said, are you not tired? Where are you from? How many sisters do you have in your family, are they good-looking? Is Fang Ling a good match… well, I just want to chat with you.”

    Xiao Jingduo gave Bai Jiayi a cold warning and continued to look back. Xiao Jingduo’s indifference didn’t affect Bai Jiayi, he was still chattering: “Why were you sent to Guozi School? I was sent by my grandmother, and for this reason, she entrusted several old friends, and asked me to say no at all. It’s necessary to waste this favor, why don’t you tell me about the marriage relationship… By the way, you haven’t said it yet, why did you come to Guozijian?”

    Xiao Jingduo wanted to say that he was sent by the Crown Prince, but Xiao Jingduo was low-key by nature and didn’t say anything.

    “You have class tomorrow, so you should look through the textbook.”

    Bai Jiayi showed a shocked expression, Xiao Jingduo actually did a preview before class, what kind of monster did he encounter…
