Then for serveral days, Ye Xiaotian really studies unexpectedly with single-hearted devotion. Before Ye Xiaotian, east and west that studies is very mixed, many profound knowledge, teach his knowledge in Heavenly prison after all these people, although the conduct is unsatisfactory, but the knowledge is excellent. 接下来这些天,叶小天居然真的专心读起书来。叶小天以前学的东西很杂,其中不乏高深的学问,毕竟在天牢中传授他学问的那些人虽然品行不佳,可学识却是极好的。 Can become the official employed in the capital, moreover is big official in official employed in the capital, which isn't the successful candidate family background? The knowledge that but these people teach is few words, fragmentary, moreover not necessarily suits the imperial civil service examination to take a test, now can read the examination paper of Saint classical and many worthy people of former times systematically, Ye Xiaotian thoughts immersion, pours truly also has the pleasure. 能成为京官而且是京官中的大官,哪一个不是进士出身呢？只不过这些人传授的学问都是只言片语,零碎的很,而且未必适合科举考试,如今能系统地读一读圣人经典以及众多先贤的试卷,叶小天真正把心思沉浸其中,倒也颇有乐趣。 If for ten or more days, Ye Xiaotian has been studying with single-hearted devotion. These days Hua Yunfei had run away secretly several Sanlizhuang, inquired that was hated hoodwinks mother Xue of capacity for clear thinking really to sell off the house, leading the daughter to go to the West river, showed a to break the cauldrons and sink the boats stance unexpectedly. 如是者一连十多天,叶小天一直在专心读书。这些日子华云飞偷偷跑过几趟三里庄,打听到那个被仇恨蒙蔽了心窍的薛母果然把房子变卖了,带着女儿去了水西,竟是摆出了一副破釜沉舟的架势。 Hua Yunfei was somewhat worried about, after coming back, finds an opportunity to tell Ye Xiaotian this matter, Ye Xiaotian was light smiles. Not to mention he has a clear conscience, even if mother Xue is really handing the plaint raised criminal division, depending on her statement of only one of the parties, does not only have the proof with him, he also has Lebanese teacher this powerful backing let alone. 华云飞有些担心,回来后找个机会把这件事告诉了叶小天,叶小天只是淡淡一笑。且不说他问心无愧,即便薛母真的在把状子递到了提刑司,仅凭她一面之辞,也没有凭据拿他,更何况他还有黎训导这个坚强后盾。 Wants the power to want the potential in this undisciplined and out of control the place, what pattern can an old and alone person woman put forth? To her biased, Ye Xiaotian also has no alternative, can only by her. 在这无法无天要权要势的地方,一个孤老婆子能使出什么花样儿？对她的偏执,叶小天也是无可奈何,只能由着她去了。 Also after several days, then to the period of institute trying. Speaking of the scholar, in the latter person heart always floats off unavoidably a image of poor and pedantic scholar, in the county magistrate like official, because of the reason of drama, the later generation regarded the tiny big officer seven officials, has the contempt, as if less than raises. 又过了几天,便到了院试之期。说到秀才,后人心中总不免浮起一个穷酸秀才的形象,就像官员中的知县,因为戏曲的缘故,后人把七品官当成了芝麻绿豆大儿的官,心生轻视,似乎不足一提。 In effect it is not so, seven are printing, that is a Mr. Fang mother, even if you test the successful candidate, can be assigned away from the capital a county magistrate directly, that must the extremely strong backstage operate for you can accomplish. This scholar is also same, it is lowest one grade inside the academic honor. But in the place that is also extremely extraordinary, must behead six generals at six passes to be admitted. 其实不然,七品正印,那可是一方父母,就算你考中进士,能直接外放一任知县,那也要极强硬的后台替你运作才办得到。这秀才也是一样,在功名里头它属于最低的一档。但在地方上那也是极了不起的,要过五关斩六将才能考取。 Scholar wants to test the scholar first to test the childhood., Tests child health/life, so long as reads off «Four Book», «Five Classics», and can wrote some shallow eight-part essay according to Zhu Xi's «Four Book Collecting» on the line. Even so, some Scholar to year of child health/life knowing the will of heaven. 读书人想考秀才先要考童年。,考童生只要读完《四书》、《五经》,并能依照朱熹的《四书集注》等书写些粗浅的八股文就行。即便如此,有些读书人到了知命之年还是童生。 child Shengshi divides three stages, Stage 1 tests in the county, the examiner is the this county county magistrate. Must test 45, tests eight-part essay and post poem, after the theory, rhythmic prose-poem respectively, but this stage under the operation of Lebanese teacher, has been handled by the county of Tongren city subordinate, in other words, Ye Xiaotian now is child health/life. His native place naturally also fell on that county. 童生试又分三个阶段,第一阶段在县里考,主考官是本县县官。要考四五场,分别考八股文、贴诗、经论、律赋等,但是这一阶段在黎训导的运作下,已经由铜仁下属的一个县办理完了,换而言之,叶小天现在已经是童生。他的籍贯自然也落在了那个县。 Later also wants the prefectural examination. Is held the post to preside at an examination by local prefectural magistrate, Tongren city prefectural magistrate is Sir Zhang Duo, this earth prefectural magistrate nods, a series of process interlude has not walked, then managed to Ye Xiaotian smoothly, was the institute that the present is going to hold tried, crossing this closed/pass is a scholar. 之后还要府试。由当地知府担任主考,铜仁知府是张铎张大人,这位土知府点了头,一应手续连个过场都没走,便顺顺当当地给叶小天办了下来,接下来就是现在将要举行的院试了,过了这一关才算是秀才。 The institute tries should by various province provincal educational officers to manage. However the Guizhou province area is somewhat special. Dozens years ago Guizhou province did not have own provincial commander school, the Guizhou province scholar to want the examination to need nearby to arrive at Yunnan province, Sichuan province (Szechuan) and Hunan three to omit to participate, high first-level Trial test must go to go to take an examination on Tianfu Jinling again. 院试本应由各省学政主持。不过贵州地区有些特殊。几十年前贵州还没有自己的提督学院,贵州学子要考学需要就近到云南、四川、湖南三省去参加,再高一级的贡试则要去应天府金陵赴试。 However the custom can always adjust, many learned southern Scholar self-confident Trial test can successfully pass, is not willing first Nanjing Beijing to toss about again, but lives away from one's native place and become a resident of that place the northern Chihli to comply with the mansion to take an exam there, after testing Juren (graduate), directly participates in the successful candidate to test. 不过规矩一向是可以变通的,许多有学问的南方读书人自信贡试可以顺利通过,便不愿先南京再北京地折腾,而是寄籍北直隶顺应府在那儿应试,考中举人后直接参加进士考。 Afterward Guizhou province also set up the provincial commander school, because the establishment date and time was still short. Many custom lax beautiful jades, try including the institute, should manage to take a test by this province provincal educational officer, but the this official provincal educational officer is raises the punishment surveillance commissioner to hold a concurrent post, his where has the time to climb mountains and cross rivers to run Tongren city to manage to take a test, therefore released authority to earth prefectural magistrate Zhang Duo. This is also Lebanese teacher has the full assurance to make Ye Xiaotian test the reason. 后来贵州也设了提督学院,不过因为成立时日尚短。许多规矩都不严瑾,包括院试,本应由本省学政主持考试,可本府学政是提刑按察使兼任,他哪有功夫跋山涉水跑来铜仁主持考试,于是就放权给土知府张铎了。这也是黎训导有十足把握可以让叶小天考中的原因。 The institute tries to be divided two, one is trying. Two are the second examinations, enrollment is fresh. 院试分为两场,一为正试。二为复试,录取者就是生员。 Very early in the morning the day just dawn, Ye Xiaotian raised is testing the basket to rush to the official archive examination place, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi accompanies him to come. Yaoyao had early in the morning, fuwa and Da ge'er (tall person) naturally also follows, this lineup is very noticeable. 一大早天刚蒙蒙亮,叶小天就提着考篮赶到了府学考场,华云飞和毛问智都陪他来了。就连遥遥都起了个大早,福娃儿和大个儿自然也是一路跟随,这副阵容很是引人注目。 As for that Mr. Dong Tian (Winter), he incites various bottles of cans in the room frequently to the midnight, was used to rest to sleep late late, Ye Xiaotian has not called him. 至于那位冬天先生,他经常在房间里鼓捣各种瓶瓶罐罐一直到半夜,习惯了晚睡晚起,叶小天就没叫他。 Although Ye Xiaotian has never taken the test, approximately knows some grand occasions of test, but he arrived outside official archive front door that acts as the examination place, actually sees by the yamen runner array, powerful, a large number, the examinee is actually few, delivers the parental elder who the examinee comes to be actually many, leans on the walking stick to limp many white hair old man, really hopes that Sun Cheng dragon is cherished. 叶小天虽然从未参加过考试,也大约知道一些考试的盛况,可是等他到了充作考场的府学大门外,却见衙役列阵两旁,威风凛凛,人数众多,考生却是寥寥无几,送考生前来的父母长辈倒是不少,其中不乏拄着拐杖步履蹒跚的白发翁,真是盼孙成龙心切呀。 When enters the examination place, when removes the chignon, to take off/escape the shoes conduct to search, Ye Xiaotian with astonishment discovered, takes a test unexpectedly is not these young fellows, but is these senior citizens, the fragmentary also two middle-aged people, that lean on the walking stick to limp the old man unexpectedly are also the examinees. 等到入考场时,拆发髻、脱鞋子进行搜检时,叶小天才惊愕地发现,来考试的居然不是那些少年人,而是那些老年人,零星还有两个中年人,那拄着拐杖步履蹒跚的老翁居然也是考生。 Ye Xiaotian does not have any to smuggle, he does not need to smuggle, because the examination question he had known, that eight-part essay is Lebanese teacher ghostwrites, made him know by heart for his writing a letter on another's behalf. Tests the academic honor to test in this share, probably also only then in the crosstalk that was recognized as 9000 -year-old relative by the examination official by mistake, thus rose third-level Wei good to compare favorably continually. 叶小天并没有什么夹带,他也不需要夹带,因为考题他已经知道了,就连那篇八股文都是黎训导捉刀,替他代笔让他背熟了的。考功名考到这个份儿上,大概也只有相声里那位被考官误认作九千岁亲戚,从而连升三级的魏好古才能媲美了。 In official archive has deferred to the custom of examination place to arrange, is only in that number fallen, from the start few individuals, evidently culture and education of this Tongren city mansion also is really very weak. 府学里已经按照考场的规矩重新布置过,只是那考号里零零落落,压根就没几个人,看样子这铜仁府的文教方面还真是很弱。 Ye Xiaotian led the examination paper number, entered the room, when raises hand to rub an inkstick suddenly is sad: „My Ye Xiaotian is a prison guard, actually does not want unexpectedly one day, not only made nine cave 81 stronghold about 100,000 people of honored sir, can enter the examination place to take pen in hand the answer paper, my family ancestral grave is certainly braving the light smoke......” 叶小天领了试卷考号,进了号房,举手研墨时忽然心生感慨:“我叶小天本是一介狱卒,却不想竟有一天,不但做了九峒八十一寨近十万人的尊者,又能走进考场提笔答卷,我家祖坟一定正在冒青烟呢……” After a while, a petty official holds the examination question sign on the scene to patrol, read out the topic loudly, really told the topic of Ye Xiaotian to be exactly the same as Lebanese teacher secretly. 过了一会儿,一个小吏举着考题牌在场中巡走,高声宣读题目,果然与黎训导偷偷告诉叶小天的题目一模一样。 Ye Xiaotian writes the eight-part essays is to begin studies after all practices for the first time, the first leg of an eight-legged essay, receives the topic, to say and start, the stock, the latter stock and bunch stock these customs, in one attacked under the training he to understand, really must write the article somewhat to be strenuous. 叶小天写八股毕竟是初学乍练,破题、承题、起讲、入手、起股、后股、束股这些规矩在一番突击训练下他已经懂了,真要写出好文章却还有些吃力。 However now the article has memorized in the chest, so long as he writes down from memory on the line, this was then easier, therefore Ye Xiaotian the complete spirit used, in wrote on, his character wrote was very actually attractive, an examination paper finished a character to be good, black ink has not stained. 但是现在文章早已熟记在胸,他只要默写出来就行,这便容易多了,因此叶小天把全部精神都用在了写字上,他的字写的倒是真挺漂亮,一张卷子写完一字不错,连个墨点儿都没沾上。 Ye Xiaotian finished the examination paper, glanced right and left, sees the old men earnestly the answer paper, talking in heart: „I completed an assignment at this time was too conspicuous, might as well sit a while again.” 叶小天写完卷子,左顾右盼了一番,见众老翁都在埋头答卷,心道:“我此时交卷太显眼了,不如再多坐一会儿。” Ye Xiaotian suffered painstakingly about one double-hour, this takes up the examination paper to set out to complete an assignment. The presiding at an examination commercial credit should be earth prefectural magistrate Zhang Duo, but where Zhang Duo will run to come to here to suffer hardship, carte blanche Li teacher. Lebanese teacher had early in the morning, is somewhat sleepy, at this time is sitting on the chair dozes off. 叶小天又苦捱了近一个时辰,这才拿起卷子起身交卷。主考官本应是土知府张铎,可张铎哪会跑来这里受罪,已经全权委托黎训导。黎训导起了个大早,有些困倦,此时正坐在椅子上打瞌睡。 The petty officials went forward to receive the Ye Xiaotian examination paper to start to stick the name, Lebanese teacher heard the sound to wake, opened eyes. Seeing is Ye Xiaotian, then beckons saying: „You come!” 小吏上前接过叶小天的卷子开始糊名,黎训导听到动静醒过来,一睁眼。见是叶小天,便招手道:“你来！” Ye Xiaotian rushes to side him hastily, Lebanese teacher complained in a low voice: „So to be how long, but hasn't known by heart?” 叶小天连忙赶到他身边,黎训导低声埋怨道:“怎么这么久,可是不曾背熟？” Ye Xiaotian also lowers the sound, said: „Student naturally carries skillfully, but looked that other child health/life have not completed an assignment. The students want too conspicuous good.” 叶小天也压低声音,道:“学生自然背得滚瓜烂熟,只是看其他童生都没交卷。学生想还是不要太显眼的好。” Lebanese teacher sighed: „Your this child, was careful, these people have tested the most lifetime, such, where can also have the manager to enter? My Tongren city mansion indanthrene lacks successors, otherwise you think why this officer looks for you. When hit the mark you, this officer must lead you to see Sir prefectural magistrate. And you go back to make some preparations.” 黎训导叹了口气道:“你这孩子,太小心了些,那些人已经考了大半辈子,也就那样了,哪里还能有所长进？我铜仁府士林后继无人呐,要不然你以为本官为何找你。待点中了你,本官要带你去见知府大人。你且回去做些准备。” Visits earth prefectural magistrate , because this prefectural magistrate Zhang left vigorously, wants to make Ye Xiaotian make persistent efforts as for prefectural magistrate Zhang indulgently, goes to the the West river Guiyang prefecture mansion to participate in Trial test to test the Juren (graduate) matter, Lebanese teacher had not said that because he thinks that prefectural magistrate Zhang is cracking a joke. 拜望土知府,是因为这位张知府从中出了大力,至于张知府异想天开地想让叶小天再接再励,去水西贵阳府参加贡试考举人的事,黎训导却没有说,因为他以为张知府在开玩笑。 Ye Xiaotian one hear, naturally understands that what is „makes some preparations”, Ye Xiaotian understanding said/tunnel: „Teacher felt relieved. The students will certainly call Sir prefectural magistrate to satisfy. Teacher there, after posting a notice, the student also from current visits toward your family place.” 叶小天一听,自然明白什么叫“做些准备”,叶小天心领神会地道:“老师放心。学生一定会叫知府大人满意。老师那里,待出榜之后,学生也自当前往府上拜访。” Lebanese teacher strokes the beard smile to nod: „Is a promising young man, goes, goes.” 黎训导捋着胡须微笑点头:“孺子可教,去吧,去吧。” „Yes! The students said goodbye.” “是！学生告辞。” At this time Ye Xiaotian did not say were too many, then bowed with one hand cupped in the other to Lebanese teacher a ritual, had the petty officials to make him leave the examination places. 这时候叶小天也不好说的太多,便向黎训导长揖一礼,自有小吏引着他离开考场。 Outside examination places. Mao Wenzhi, Hua Yunfei and Yaoyao have been waiting for him, fuwa squats to sit under an old tree towering to the skies darlingly is dozing off. Sees Ye Xiaotian to come out, Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei have Yaoyao to close in immediately, Mao Wenzhi asked anxiously: „Big brother. How to test? Is the topic difficult?” 考场外。毛问智、华云飞和遥遥一直在等着他,福娃儿憨态可掬地蹲坐在一棵参天古树下打着瞌睡。一见叶小天出来,毛问智和华云飞还有遥遥立即一拥而上,毛问智紧张地问道:“大哥。考得怎么样？题难不难？” Ye Xiaotian white his eyes, Mao Wenzhi had taken Gu poison ill-humoredly, to him loyal not two, therefore Ye Xiaotian has the matter is also open about the facts, beforehand attains matter Mao Wenzhi of examination question is knows that also asked unexpectedly this words come, am I stupid to so extremely accomplish? 叶小天没好气地白了他一眼,毛问智已经服过蛊毒,对他忠心不二,所以叶小天有事也不瞒着,事先拿到考题的事儿毛问智是知道的,居然还问出这种话来,难道我就笨到如此不堪造就？ Mao Wenzhi sees him not to answer, actually ill-humoredly white oneself eyes, is overjoyed: „! The big brother manner so disdains, that certainly is the display was excellent.” 毛问智见他不答,却没好气地白了自己一眼,不禁欢天喜地道:“啊！大哥神态如此不屑,那一定是发挥的极好了。” Ye Xiaotian laughs in spite of trying not to shake the head, said: „You, called me to remember one to come in the brothers of Hu county understanding suddenly, if you saw him, certainly and must come with him, because both of you were a pair of funny guy.” 叶小天失笑摇头,道:“你呀,忽然叫我想起一位在葫县认识的兄弟来了,你要是见了他,一定跟他和得来,因为你们俩是一对活宝。” At this time a shadow dropped from the clouds, actually fell to the ground silent, stopped steadily in the Ye Xiaotian front, looked fierce to him, was actually that giant ape plays on the tree alone, seeing Ye Xiaotian to come out, jumped down from the tree. 这时一道黑影从天而降,却落地无声,稳稳地停在叶小天的面前,向他呲牙裂嘴,却是那只巨猿独自在树上玩耍,看见叶小天出来,从树上一跃而下。 Yaoyao is holding the hand of Ye Xiaotian, happy said/tunnel: „Elder Brother, Uncle hair said the Elder Brother person, if in testing the scholar, has the status, later can, when big official, right?” 遥遥拉着叶小天的手,开心地道:“哥哥,毛大叔说哥哥要是考中秀才,就是有身份的人了,以后就能当大官了,是吗？” Ye Xiaotian talking in heart: „To be an official is also Juren (graduate), the scholar as if also missed at least.” However sees the Yaoyao happy appearance, Ye Xiaotian does not endure to call her to be disappointed, then should say ambiguously: „Un, yes! However, but there is qualifications to serve as an official, does, that must see the Elder Brother to like.” 叶小天心道:“想当官起码也得是个举人,秀才似乎还差了点儿。”不过见遥遥开心的模样,叶小天不忍叫她失望,便含糊应道:“嗯,是吧！不过,只是有资格做官了,做不做呢,那还要看哥哥喜不喜欢。” „Un!” “嗯！” Yaoyao makes an effort to nod, radiant said/tunnel: „That natural, Elder Brother such big skill, if the lesser official who Bi Mawen resembles to the Elder Brother, Da ge'er (tall person) must laugh at you. The Elder Brother does not serve as an official either, does makes great sage equal to heaven same officer.” 遥遥用力点头,眉开眼笑地道:“那当然,哥哥这么大的本事,要是给哥哥做一个弼马温似的小官,大个儿都要笑话你啦。哥哥要么不做官,做就做个齐天大圣一样的官儿。” Yaoyao is very happy, because not only Ye Xiaotian tested the scholar, because also went to a worry. The Elder Brother such good luck, to test the scholar to make great sage equal to heaven immediately, explained that others were not the comet. 遥遥是真的很开心,不仅因为叶小天考中了秀才,还因为去了一块心病。哥哥这么好运气,马上就考中秀才做齐天大圣了,说明人家根本就不是扫把星嘛。 Ye Xiaotian laughs, puts out a hand to hold Yaoyao, said: „ Right, right that our family/home Yaoyao said that if not give big official us not to do, we come his Havoc in Heaven. Haha, walks, we celebrate ahead of time, eats at a restaurant! 叶小天哈哈大笑,伸手抱起遥遥,道:“对,咱们家遥遥说的对,要是不给大官儿咱就不做,咱就来他个大闹天宫。哈哈,走,咱们提前庆祝一下,下馆子去！ P: Lives up to one's words, third offers, the family members are waiting, I must hurry to embark, everyone National Day is joyful, seven days of long vacation, relaxes well, do not forget snatching a little leisure from the busy schedules, casts your guaranteeing a minimum monthly ticket!
