The time to compose a poem was limited by a stick of incense, and after July had finished writing it, he mentioned his name, and a lean-looking young man dressed as a man came and respectfully took the paper away. July looked around, and saw that there were still many people still meditating, or racking their brains, or lamenting and shaking their heads repeatedly, the venue was very quiet, and no one dared to raise their voices.

July took a sip of tea, and when he turned his head, he saw Huang Longze looking at him with bright eyes, with an excited look.

Seeing that July looked over, Huang Longze leaned over to the side of July with a little excitement and whispered, "I just read the poem you wrote, it's really good" Huang Longze gave a thumbs up to July.

"You didn't write?" Seeing that his pen and ink didn't move, July also lowered his voice and asked in a volume that could be heard by both of them.

Huang Longze flattened his mouth and said indifferently, "I won't join in the fun, I am not proficient in poetry, and I know the handwriting of the old men upstairs." Huang Longze said that he found that he had said a little too much, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked instead, "I heard you just say that you have no intention of career, although I envy you for having the heart of this idle cloud and wild crane, but it is really a pity for you, now you have come all the way to Beijing to catch the exam, and you are talented, do you really just want to be a worldly immortal in the future?"

July was originally said by Huang Longze in the first half of the paragraph, and he was about to think about what he meant by saying that he knew his handwriting, but his later inquiries really diverted July's attention. What she said just now was actually just to coax Duan Yu, but if she thought about it carefully, she would know the loopholes in her words. If you really want to send love to the landscape. Then why do you have to work hard to come to the capital for the imperial examination, at this time the imperial examination is not an easy thing, not to mention the tiring journey to Beijing. Even the few days of the exam were grinding.

At this time, the examination was not the kind of dozens of people gathered in a large room in later generations to issue exams, but after checking whether there was entrainment, each person was assigned a small single room, the single room was only six feet high, three feet wide, and he couldn't even stretch his legs when he slept.

Candidates will not be able to come out until the next morning after entering with pen, ink, candles and dry food. During this period, eating, drinking, and Lazar must be solved in this small space. And this room is very tight, no fire in winter, and no wind in summer. It was even more pitiful than a concentration camp.

But this is not the worst, the worst is the high-intensity answering process. Although July is really semi-literate among the candidates, learning or anything has nothing to do with her. But during this time, July still knew some of the process of scientific expeditions.

The first test for candidates is the Four Books and Five Classics, and they have to write seven papers in one go. The second session is to write a political commentary. Five judgments. Plus an official document. In the third question, I had to write five commentaries on current affairs. All of these are the kind of eight-strand texts that are tightly structured to the point of harshness, and carefully deal with them like walking a tightrope. You can't say nothing completely, and you can't write too much, so that the reviewers feel that you have antisocial tendencies, and they will harmonize you every minute.

With such a hard exam, an idiot only ends up in order to experience life! I really believe that she is playing with tickets, and she is just some stupid people who have been brainwashed and washed very thoroughly, and even Duan Yufang's eyes are full of banter when he looks at him.

July shook his head: "Ten years of hard work, who doesn't want to make a name for themselves? It's just that I really can't make people slap me in the face, and I still look flattering." Since you have offended the powerful, you can even bow your head. This matter will not be good, but it will affect Brother Duan to run for me, so I simply stopped camping this way, and I will be idle from then on. ”

July's acting skills are perfect, and Huang Longze really believes it. She never expected that just because of such a paragraph, it would completely change the direction of the future.

Huang Longze's favorability towards July is rising, such a good-looking talent with a strong backbone, talent and growth must not be buried like this. Huang Longze even feels that if the champion of this department is not won in July, it is definitely because of Mei Jiufeng's retaliation. (Poor Mei Jiufeng, he still hasn't done anything)

Huang Longze had an expression on my face, and vigorously patted the shoulder of Afraid July, and said very righteously, "Don't worry, as long as you take the test well, I guarantee that no one will dare to retaliate against you, if a talent like you is not admitted, it will be unreasonable." ”

July looked at this pure sunny young man and complained in his heart: If I am admitted, it will be unreasonable!

But July didn't speak, but replied with an expression of meeting a confidant, "Tuojun Jiyan, I hope I can be named on the gold list, and I will definitely invite you to drink at that time." ”

July's words were completely polite, but when he heard that Huang Longze, who was not deeply involved in the world, he took it seriously in his ears, and solemnly assured, "It will definitely be possible."

At this time, in the upstairs private room, a group of white-bearded old men surrounded a poem and admired it, and one of the doctors of the poetry academy named Shao Yunfeng held the poem and read it over and over again: "Jasper is made into a tree high, ten thousand hanging down green silk, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors." Wonderful, wonderful, this poem is really wonderful, it should be the right time, every sentence is the upper class, I look at the first round of the first round of the first name does not do it think, it is this person. ”

The examination is also called Chunqiu, and the time for the examination is the ninth day of the second month. It's been a few days since the exam, and it's February, so the one chosen in July is indeed very seasonal.

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, but an old man in black said with some hesitation, "This person is the young man who just made a bet with Mei Wenhua in the courtyard, if he wins the first place, Master Mei's face will not be bright, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"How is it inappropriate?" Dr. Shao immediately raised his eyebrows and retorted, "A good writing is a good writing, then Mei Wenhua is your student, and he is used to being arrogant in the past, and you don't care if you protect me." Today, it is obvious that he provoked others first, if that student is almost literate, I will turn a blind eye to your disciple's appearance. But now this person is clearly better than Mei Wenhua, you use Master Mei to pressure us, am I Shao Yunfeng still afraid? As soon as this poem is taken out, a clear-eyed person will know who is better and who is inferior. Shao Yunfeng also has a wrong name, named Shao Daring, it is said that when he was young, because of a poem in front of the old King Anding, he dared to blush, but the old King Anding was not angry, and pointed at Shao Yunfeng with laughter and said that he was Shao Daring. If he really argues with him again, I'm afraid that he will dare to take the poem out for everyone to judge, and then the faces of their old guys will be lost. (To be continued......)
