Dream of the Red Chamber: A Scholar Preparing for the Imperial Exams

Li Dapu, Jia Wang Shi Xue is one of the four famous families in Jinling, but it does not mean that they are in Jinling. In the book, except for the Xue family who was in Jinling at the beginning, the other three families are all in the capital. Originally, the protagonist's mother worked as an errand in the Jia family and was a celebrity in front of Jia's mother, so she felt something was wrong. You moved the Jia family from the capital to Jinling. If nothing else, the line of the Xue family is completely abolished. Your Jia family is in Jinling, and the Xue family is also in Jinling. What reason do they have to live in the Jia family instead of their own homes? The imperial concubine left the palace in the middle of the night and returned to the palace in the early morning. They took the high-speed train to get married. It took half a day to go back and forth between Jinling and the capital, right? Even in modern times, it is too late to go back and forth.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the scientific examination was not a county examination to determine qualifications. Is it true that only after passing the government examination can one take the college examination? Only the college examination is the real first level of the scientific examination. To be honest, the first two are not strict at all. They can even give you the qualifications of a child to save face. It is enough to be able to write and the article is generally fluent. The government examination is a little stricter. After all, it is embarrassing to test for the prefect of the college if your level is too low! Those who pass the academy examination are scholars, and those who qualify for admission to various academies, whether government-run or private, are scholars. Scholars who come first in the academy examination can also receive meat, rice, oil, etc. From the county every month. Normally, this will not be deducted! Then there is the provincial examination to determine the candidates, the general examination to determine the Jinshi, and the palace examination to determine the final ranking!

What do you think? With your status as a half-retainer and a son of a family, are you going to have to kneel down and lick your knees in the future?

After reading it, the writing is smooth and the plot is progressing at a good pace, as well as the characters... I feel that it is a bit awkward to understand it based on the Red Mansion 🙂 But overall it is okay
