Chapter 060: Entering Beijing to Catch the Exam

Chapter 060 entered Beijing to catch the exam.

After Ye Xing listened to Di Xiaojie's words, he was very moved, but he was very strange, because as far as he knew, the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty were all in the spring, and now it was summer.

Ye Xing had doubts in his heart, so he asked.

"There's a sentence I don't know if I should ask?"

"If you have anything to say, you can ask, I will answer what I can!" Di Xiaojie replied very boldly.

"I heard that the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty are all to be examined by the township, the guild exam, and then the palace exam, you live here all the year round, how can you go directly to the exam, and I also heard that the guild exam and the palace exam are all in February and March, and now it's June and July, how do you go to the exam?"

Ye Xing felt relieved after expressing the doubts in his heart, but after saying so many words at once, his injuries were still very serious, so he was a little out of breath all of a sudden.

Di Xiaojie smiled after listening to Ye Xing's words, because he felt that Ye Xing knew a lot.

"You're right, the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is like this, but it was the system during the Hongwu period of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and now Chengzu Zhu Di is in the primary position, for the stability of the people in the world and the integrity of officials, the imperial examination will be added in the autumn of the third year of Yongle, and I am waiting for the autumn one."

After Di Xiaojie finished speaking, Ye Xing felt novel, but these are understandable, Chengzu Zhu Di is also a Ming monarch in history, and many of his systems have pushed the Ming Dynasty to the peak, which is inseparable from his eclectic use of talents, and talents will naturally be selected through examinations.

At this time, Di Xiaoxin had already finished the meal, and Ye Xing glanced at it, it was all some very light vegetables, plus a pot of porridge.

"You're hurt, you're only eating light meals, and you've been avoiding food lately, you know?" Di Xiaoxin brought the food to the side of the bed and began to feed Ye Xing, although Ye Xing was a little unaccustomed, but his hands really couldn't hold the chopsticks tightly, so he had to accept this great treatment.

After a few days of getting along, Ye Xing already knew Di Xiaojie and his sisters very well, they came to live in seclusion here during the Battle of Jingjing, and Di Xiaojie loved to read, dreaming of one day winning the crown and working for the well-being of the people of the world; But Di Xiaoxin likes pharmacology, so he has read a lot of medical books, and he has also studied many diseases in the past few years, and it can be said that there are not many diseases that can stump him.

Ye Xing's internal skills are good, so he will be able to move after a few days, he is very bored and rummages through the bookshelf of the bamboo house, and he turned out a detective record of Di Renjie back then, and it records various detective methods and autopsy methods, Ye Xing likes to read this book when he is young, so he reads it tirelessly.

Di Xiaoxin saw Ye Xing reading a book, so he said with a smile: "This book has been in our house for a long time, except for my brother when he is fine, no one reads it most of the time. ”

Ye Xing nodded while looking at it, although some words were difficult to recognize, he could still understand the meaning.

Unconsciously, after more than half a month, Ye Xing's injuries have all healed, and Ye Xing has also read the Di Renjie detective record several times in the past half a month, and he is also familiar with the knowledge introduced above.

Early this morning, Di Xiaojie ran and said, "Brother Ye, I see that your injuries have healed, we might as well leave here and go to Beijing to take the exam." ”

Now it is dog days, and after these two months, it is autumn, autumn, Di Xiaojie is also going to take the exam, Ye Xing didn't want to delay Di Xiaojie and them, so he nodded and happily agreed.

They didn't have much to pack, so they traveled lightly, found a carriage and rushed to Jingshi.

At this time, Jingshi was still Jinling, that is, today's Nanjing, Jinling was a very prosperous and flashy place at that time, and it was a dream paradise for many people; Di Xiaojie calculated, according to their current speed, it would take about half a month to get to the capital division, Ye Xing let out a long sigh after hearing this, but he just sighed, it didn't matter to him how long he walked.

It was at dusk that they had finally made their way down a path that led to the main road, and if they had hastened their journey, they might have found an inn in the town ahead before dark.

Ye Xing didn't know how to drive horses, so he and Di Xiaoxin sat in the carriage, both of them felt a little shy, but Di Xiaoxin was a carefree little girl after all, so she didn't think much about it, she explained the pharmacology of some herbs to Ye Xing from time to time in the car, and it was not very lonely along the way.

But just when they were chatting happily, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Di Xiaoxin suddenly fell into Ye Xing's arms because he didn't sit firmly, Ye Xing hurriedly helped with his hand, and touched Di Xiaoxin's towering chest, Ye Xing's face turned red and quickly let go, and Di Xiaoxin fell into Ye Xing's arms even stronger.

Ye Xing hurriedly apologized and said that he didn't mean it, Di Xiaoxin also quickly sat up, and in order to avoid embarrassment, she lifted the curtain and asked Di Xiaojie: "Brother, what's going on!" ”

Di Xiaojie didn't seem to be very panicked, he said with a smile: "There is a young man in front of him who looks like a scholar standing in the middle of the road, as if he wants to take us in a car. ”

Di Xiaoxin looked down, and really saw a young man, and now the young man was running towards them, and when the young man ran closer, Di Xiaoxin realized that it was a handsome young man with a white face and no beard.

"This brother, I wonder if you can give me a ride?"

Di Xiaojie looked the man up and down, he was indeed a scholar, so he asked, "Did you also go to Beijing to take the exam?" ”

The man nodded again and again: "In Xia Xu Ruoxuan, he is a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, but he got lost here for some reason, and there are still a few miles away from the town in front, I really can't walk, so I take the liberty to disturb." ”

Di Xiaojie saw that Xu Ruoxuan was speaking quite elegantly, like a scholar, so he smiled and said: "Come on, I'll give you a ride, my name is Di Xiaojie, I am Di Renjie's descendant of many generations, I also went to Beijing to take the exam, we can be companions, by the way, there are two other people in the car, one is my sister Di Xiaoxin, and the other is my eldest brother Ye Xing." ”

After Xu Ruoxuan and Ye Xing greeted them one by one, they sat on Di Xiaojie's side, Di Xiaojie smiled, and then hurried to the town in front of him.

But not long after they left, a group of people suddenly came out from both sides of the road, all of them holding big knives, and they looked very vicious, which made people feel very frightened when they saw it.

Di Xiaojie hurriedly reined in his horse, he knew that they had encountered robbers.
