Tong Sheng!

He was also born as a child!

Bai Gui was still in a trance when he was walking on the street with the examination basket. Although he knew the result already, he was still a little dizzy the moment he was admitted by Magistrate Yin. read

Asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot sword!

Relying on people is like relying on the ninth heaven!

Only when you are strong can you be real.

Although the current Tongsheng fame is just a reserve for scholars, in terms of status, he is no longer an ordinary citizen. Especially for a young man like him, his status is even more noble...

"I wonder if Magistrate Yin can open his mouth and write down my name as a student studying in Japan."

Being blown by the cold wind, Bai Gui's fevered head regained its composure. Now that the old discipline was in decline, he still needed to work on the new one in order to stabilize his position.

"Tongsheng... it should be easier for scholars to study abroad than for ordinary people to study abroad at public expense."

He smiled faintly.

Although the Qing government now encourages practical learning, in the minds of these officials, they still use Chinese and Western methods. Only those who have studied middle school can be considered "one of their own", while those who only study Western knowledge can use it, but It won't be of much use.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Wherever there are officials, they will be assigned to different parties.

This is generally the case for the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, etc. in the pre-Ming Dynasty. The Donglin Party is a party divided by Donglin Academy, while the Zhejiang Party and Chu Party are parties divided by region. So between the new school and the old school, there must be a party, but the Qing court was dismissed, resulting in no obvious party struggle between the two parties...

But the later Republic of China was actually a continuation of this. There were factions that studied abroad, and the factions studying abroad were divided into which countries they stayed in, and the local factions were divided into which provinces and regions...

But currently, under the pressure of the great powers, the struggle is not obvious.

However, if it falls on specific events, such as the number of places to study abroad..., it will be reflected.

Returning to the normal school, Bai Gui slept with his clothes on and rested his spirits.

In one day, he wrote three policy questions and one translation, and he also had to watch his words and emotions. His energy was also extremely drained. At this time, he also understood why the ancients were bound to be injured if they were extremely wise.

The next day, morning.

The government trial case will not be filed until tomorrow, so Bai Gui went to the restaurant as agreed. Bai Xiaowen had already arrived early and was waiting for Zhou Yuan and Lu Zhaopeng. After waiting for a while, the two came hand in hand, followed by Miss Wednesday.

This is not surprising. Female students are depressed, and Zhou Yuan also has to worry about scientific examinations. He has no time to find Miss Wednesday. In this free time, they are not far away, so it is understandable that he would like to hang out with his sister. .

"Waiter, two steamed buns per person."

This is a steamed bun restaurant.

In Xi'an, most restaurants are steamed bun restaurants. Mutton steamed buns are originally a breakfast food. But in later generations, breakfast was too rich, and this large amount of steamed buns became lunch.

Soon, the waiter came up with five large bowls in suitcases, with baked noodles in them. This pancake is actually a dead pancake, half-cooked.

Several people ordered a few more cold dishes, yuba, young bamboo shoots stewed with celery, and a plate of peanuts.

"I finished yesterday's imperial examination. The only countries I know about the European and American countries are England and France. Oh, by the way, there is also Germany. I have no memory of the other countries..."

Bai Xiaowen expressed his bitterness.

After talking about interesting things for a while, the topic inevitably turned to the imperial examination.

"Actually, the county school teaches these historical materials about the country of Western Europe, but I am still young in school, so how can I remember them all? Alas, I might as well not mention them." Bai Xiaowen sighed.

"Xiaowen is right. The school reform in the government is too radical this time. I don't have enough time to study English, so how can I learn about Thai and Western historical materials..."

Lu Zhaopeng also said.

Soon after, Zhou Yuan also joined in the complaints about the three policy questions in this government examination. The examination questions were not considered political discussions. In addition, the people present were also fellow villagers, so they were somewhat unscrupulous when talking.

Several people were talking as they broke the dough into pieces the size of soybeans so that they could be re-cooked to add flavor.

"By the way, Brother Bai, how was your answer?"

Bai Xiaowen looked at Bai Gui, unable to control his curiosity, and asked. In fact, he had wanted to ask Bai Gui how his answer was, but he asked rashly, which seemed to have ulterior motives. Now everyone is talking about the imperial examination, and it is not appropriate for you not to say a word.

"This time I handed in the paper in advance."

Bai Gui pondered for a while. His answers to Bai Xiaowen and others could not be based on the answers given to those Confucian scholars in the county examination, so he avoided answering them. However, it was better not to speak out about some sensitive questions and answer them carefully.

For example, the recent policy questions of the Normal School are somewhat in line with the government examination questions.

But the county school did not.

The county school does not yet have the qualifications to influence the government examination. Maybe some students with powerful families can get in touch in advance, but it is obviously not something that underachievers like Bai Xiaowen and others can encounter...

This government examination is of great convenience to some college candidates. It is equivalent to taking the postgraduate entrance examination at this school after graduation. Some of the questions in the re-examination are basically professional examination questions in the mid-term and final exams in normal times, which is extremely cruel to other schools.

"What? Did you hand in the paper in advance?"

The expressions of Zhou Yuan and others changed a few times. They knew Bai Gui's extensive knowledge and strong memory. They also told some stories about Europa when they were friends. Now that they handed in the paper in advance, they must have completed the answer instead of handing in a blank paper.

If you hand in a blank paper early, you are showing contempt for the court. If you are in a good mood, your life will be spared, but if you are in a bad mood, it will be easy to get dozens of slaps on your face.

The topic was indeed drawn to other aspects.

Bai Gui told a few more interesting stories, finally stopping the mood of several people talking about the imperial examination.

Perhaps sitting at the same table with the god of learning, I feel a little inferior to talking about test paper results. After all, only a few can face it calmly.

The waiter bowed and took away the bowl, and after a while he shouted "borrow the light" and brought the bowl up again with a bamboo woven suitcase. There were numbers on it, so you could know which bowl was yours.

There is already yokan in the bowl.

The meat is thick and the soup is thick. The pure white soup and steamed buns are sprinkled with finely chopped chives. The aroma is fragrant and makes people appetite.

Su Dongpo once said: "Long's cuisine includes bear's wax, while Qin's cuisine only consists of yang gan."

Yokan is steamed bun.

This good piece of mutton is also selected from Hetan sheep. It is not smelly at all and warms the stomach and satisfies hunger.

The yokan in the morning has more water than steamed buns. This is called water siege.

After drinking the steamed buns, several people lay down on the chairs and let out a long breath.

The sun was shining brightly today, and it was a good day for spring play, so after chewing finely chopped dry tea leaves to remove the odor in the mouth, we rode horses together to Qujiang Pond.

Qujiang Pond has been a royal garden since ancient times. It was Yichun Garden in the Qin Dynasty, and Furong Garden in the Sui and Tang dynasties. It is unknown how many literati wrote poems here. Although it has been nearly a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty, this place is still the first place to visit for many people with beautiful scenery.
