In the west wing of Minglun Hall of Wendao Academy, in the slightly simple and messy side hall, the morning sun falls on the window edge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOccasionally, there are scholars walking by busily outside, and it is a little quiet. Dongzhuang Town has long been cleared out, and villagers and potters have been evacuated to live in Dongzhuang Town, which is being rebuilt.

There was a bed against the wall in the side hall, and Jia Huan was sitting at the head of the bed. He has been recuperating here. Today is August 24th.

After the temple was vacated, the mountain chief moved back to the temple. It happened that his dormitory was a four-person room, and Miss Lin and others were there, so he was not suitable for recuperation, so he was placed in the side hall of the West Wing. Living in the side hall is also convenient for the speakers to visit him.

Master Zhichen said that he wanted to recuperate, not to say that he wanted a quiet environment, but to stop thinking about things in his mind. Master Zhichen called a little monk in the temple to take care of people to help take care of him and deal with matters such as boiling medicine.

The spacious side hall is full of medicinal smell, bitter and unpleasant. Jia Huan's gaze fell on a letter on the side of the black medicine bowl on the round table.

Liu Yichen had just helped him get it from his elder Qian Huai in the ear room at the back door of the academy. He recounted the situation, spoke for a while, and just left.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Jia Huan's mouth. Actually, why did the classmates let Liu Yichen come, he guessed a little. I'm afraid this year's college exam is about to start. Liu Yichen's house has not been tried, and it will not stimulate his emotions.

But...

He came out of Jiafu, took out the strength of the third year of high school to sprint for the college entrance examination, studied hard in the academy behind closed doors, and practiced Bagu literary skills for more than half a year. However, it was under such favorable circumstances that he fell ill.

Jia Huan's mood was a little depressed.

His goal is to enter the college examination in the ninth year of Yongzhi and the year of Xinhai. Now this goal has failed, which means that he will not be able to take the Xiucai exam until the eleventh year of Yongzhi in the year after tomorrow, and then wait until the thirteenth year of Yongzhi to participate in the township examination of that year.

Oh, in thirteen years, the Grand View Garden has been built! It is not long before Jiafu falls.

…

When Jia Huanzheng's thoughts were flying, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he saw Master Zhichen and Monk Zhiwu coming in.

Master Zhichen wore a gray monk's robe, a round face and a bald head, and was very like a high-ranking monk, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the poor monk is here to bid farewell to the head of the Jia Academy." Jia Yuanshou is recovering well. You just need to take your medicine on time. Every ten days, the poor monks would come to check on the condition of the head of the courtyard and consider the dosage of medicine. ”

Jia Huan sat on the bed and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you Master for saving your life!" ”

The relationship between Wendao Academy and Tanzhe Temple is divided and combined. Before, when Tanzhe Temple refused to borrow grain, he was prepared to rob it. But when it came to resisting the starvation of the potters, the academy was to accept the favor of Tan Zhe Temple. Without the help of warrior monks such as Huilai, the academy would not have won so smoothly.

Jia Huan didn't expect that Master Zhichen would have such a good medical skill, and he was willing to help him. Otherwise, his little life is afraid that it is a pill.

Master Zhichen smiled slightly and nodded. They are all people who understand. He doesn't have to talk about cause and effect to fool Jia Huan. He is the first adult favor of this Jia Yuan. There is no need to mention the money for medicinal materials or something.

After chatting a few words about recuperation, Monk Zhiwu asked, "I heard that Mr. Longjiang, a wealthy idler in the capital, donated 1,000 stone of grain to you. When does Jia Yuan plan to return the grain in my temple? "There was no harvest this fall. High food prices in winter are predictable. I have food in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart.

Jia Huan smiled, "Why should the Zen master be in a hurry. The Zen master doesn't want to carry forward the mountain gate of Tanzhe Temple? ”

Monk Zhiwu was stunned.

He represented Tanzhe Temple stationed in Wendao Academy these days, and he has participated in conferences large and small. This head of the Jia Yuan has some methods. All kinds of difficulties converge on him, and there is always a solution.

Jia Huan said to Master Zhichen: "It is rare that a large amount of manpower has gathered in the town. I suggested that the master exchange grain for the villagers to work, and repair the road up and down the mountain in Tanzhe Temple to facilitate the exchange of the powerful. ”

Jia Huan said it very briefly, and there were many calculations. Kill many birds with one stone.

But the black-bellied Master Zhichen understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Amitabha! "For the temple to prosper, it is one thing to have great virtuous monks, and on the other hand, it must be connected with the powerful. This mountain road does have to be repaired.

"There is still some time before winter, and I will talk to the head of Jia Yuan in detail in the future. Jia Yuan is the first and recuperate. Master Zhichen was about to say goodbye, but suddenly his eyes fell on the envelope by the medicine bowl, his face became serious, and he admonished: "The head of the Jia Yuan must remember that I should not approach women during the period of taking this Shenglong Zhenyuan Soup. Otherwise, lives are in danger. ”

Jia Huan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. Master, I'm nine years old this year, and you told me that you can't get close to women, is it necessary?

Master Zhichen said solemnly: "Head of the Jia Academy, the Shenglong True Yuan Tang Guben Peiyuan has miraculous effects in some aspects. You are overworked this time and your body is suffering from serious losses, so you can make up for it with Thang Long True Yuan Soup. However, during the three-month period of taking the drug, you must not be close to women. ”

Jia Huan had no choice but to nod and explain: "That is a letter written to me by my own sister. ”

Now it was the turn of Master Zhichen, who looked righteous, to be embarrassed. The envelope was clearly used by the woman. He thought that Jia Huan and a certain famous prostitute would answer each other's poems. Therefore, it is solemnly admonished. Jia Huan's poems are very famous. He had heard it in Wendao Academy for the past few days. Where did I think it was like this.

Master Zhichen coughed and said goodbye to Monk Zhiwu.

…

Jia Huan watched the two great monks leave, feeling a little funny. Anyway, it's a bit of a contradiction for monks to talk about women. The letter given to him by the third sister Tanchun, he hasn't read it yet.

Jia Huan didn't have any nostalgia for Jiafu in his heart. There are just a few people who are concerned. Most of the letters are Tanchun's concern for his situation. He rested for a while, and after reading it, he wrote a reply letter by the way for Qian Huai to take it back.

As for the news of his illness, he didn't want Qian Huai to know. lest Aunt Zhao and Tanchun worry about them. Second, when I learned that he was sick, Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang in Jiafu might make trouble. I have to guard against it. The mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle on the tail of the wasp. The two are self-sufficient, and the most poisonous woman's heart.

When Jia Huan was thinking casually, he saw Ye Jiaolang wearing a pearl white straight jacket and walking in with a smile.

Ye Jiaolang asked with concern: "How is the situation?" The mountain chief and I just sent Master Zhichen away. Master Zhichen said that the recovery is good, and only the little monk will be left to boil medicine for you. It's only been a few days? He regarded Jia Huan as a disciple.

Jia Huan first saluted, and then invited Ye Jiaolang to sit down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie cares." It felt ok. ”

Ye Jiaolang nodded, pondered slightly for a while, and said, "This year's government trials of Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion will be held in the capital on August 27. Gongsun Liang: They set off this morning. ”

Jia Huan was slightly stunned, full of bitterness, and smiled sadly. He once said to Wei Yang: Students should be happy when they hear the test. But now, due to illness, he is unable to set foot on his "battlefield" and return to the fame.

Ye Jiaolang was very clear about Jia Huan's thoughts, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said gently: "Your article, the Great Grandmaster read it, and said to the mountain chief: If you enter the examination room in this section, the article can be accepted." ”

Jia Huan nodded.

Ye Jiaolang continued: "Then you will treat you as a Xiucai now, and continue to prepare for the township test of Yongzhi for ten years." The chief intends to teach you himself when you are well. "The mountain chief is a two-rank jinshi, and his level of scripture and righteousness is higher than him.

Jia Huan was a little grateful, but a little decadent, and said, "Mr. Xie encourages." I'm just a child, even if I have the strength to lift people in the exam? You can't even get into the exam room. ”

Ye Jiaolang smiled and said, "You, you're only nine years old this year. How much do you know about the science field? Who said that children can't enter the examination room of the township examination! ”

Jia Huan's spirit was shocked. He didn't think that Ye Jiaolang lied to him, but he was not a young man who was overjoyed when he heard the news. calmly, with a little excitement in his heart, he waited for Ye Jiaolang's answer. If he directly participates in the township test next year, it will have no impact on his future plans.

Ye Jiaolang said: "Before the autumn boudoir, in addition to the students who participated in the annual examination in the school and were guaranteed to be sent to the examination room, the school officer also had to preside over two supplementary examinations, which were called the scientific examination and the big harvest.

The examination is divided into one to six grades, and the students who take the first and second grades will also be supplemented or rewarded, and those who have taken the fifth or sixth class will also be dethroned. It is relatively free to participate in the examination, and students who feel that they are not prepared enough can not go.

Harvest, but all students who fail in the scientific examination and the annual examination, or Confucian students who do not have the fame of students, can participate in this examination. Because there is no threshold limit for the big harvest test, the number of people is extremely large, and the number of applicants for the big harvest of Fu Province is about 30,000.

As a child, as long as you pass the recording, you can obtain the qualification to fill the Confucian student and obtain the township test solution. The admission rate of Confucian students is not low, and every year in the township examination, the number of Confucian students often accounts for as many as two or three percent.

And the qualifications of Confucian students can be obtained without passing the big harvest. Officials and officials can recommend Confucian scholars to participate.

How is it? What do you think after listening to it? ”

Feelings?

Jia Huan felt that it was an empowerment and he was in a good mood. According to Ye Jiaolang, as a child, as long as he passes the record examination presided over by Shati Xue, he can obtain a place in the township examination. This is his path.

And Ye Jiaolang also said: The quota of the township test can be recommended by important officials of the government. This part of the quota is definitely a black-box operation. The so-called fair imperial examination is really dark. No wonder, Zhang Juzheng made his three sons Jinshi back then. (To be continued.) )
