Chapter 064: County Examination (II)
There is an exam tomorrow and the update will be in the evening!!There is no need to wait in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Thank you for your understanding.
――――――――
Because of the particularity of the Jingshi exam, although this is only the lowest level of the county exam, the inspection is very strict, and when all the candidates have passed it one after another, it has already reached the end of the hour.
Lu Shuo sat in the hall outside the examination booth for more than an hour!
It is also thanks to his patience that he can sit still.
Otherwise, after such a long wait, and in the face of exam pressure, he would have to jump in anger!
But these are just thoughts, after all, there are many other students next to them, and you have to keep your demeanor!
A small official came to the hall to invite someone, and Lu Shuo and everyone slowly walked outside in order.
As soon as the cold wind blew, Lu Shuo couldn't help but shiver!
The temperature of the fire wall in the hall just now was high and warm, Lu Shuo only felt comfortable physically and mentally, but at this time, he was very uncomfortable when he came into contact with the air conditioner.
After the candidates passed the "Dragon Gate", they stood on the flat ground in the courtyard on the second floor, led by an official wearing a scarlet white pheasant pattern, and the students gave three kowtows to the tablet of Confucius Sage held by the college, and the examiner stepped forward to salute the three pillars of incense.
Judging from the official uniform, this chief examiner should be a member of the Ministry of Etiquette from the fifth grade.
Originally, he was responsible for what the county had done.
Lu Shuo disappeared in the crowd, and accompanied everyone to do this kind of behavior of worshiping Confucius before the exam, and a sense of ritual was spontaneously born.
After the examiner announced the official start of the exam, Lu Shuo found his room with a bookcase and an exam basket under the leadership of the soldiers.
The twenty rooms are connected in a row, and the rows are facing each other in pairs, and the forty rooms form a small courtyard, surrounded by an iron fence outside, guarding the soldiers, and the guards are very strict.
It was only at this time that Lu Shuo was truly grateful to the Traveler Emperor.
I saw that each room was quite large, about two square meters, boxy. Grid by grid, looking at the past from afar, like rows of pigeon cages.
When he lifted the planks and entered the room, he saw a stool, a table, and a plank bed in it.
The bed is not needed for the time being.
Although there are four and five of the county examinations, the number of which is determined by the examiner, each one is entered at dawn and ends before the application time, and there is no need to stay overnight in the number room.
Therefore, it is only placed here to prepare for the exams of several higher levels.
Lu Shuo put away the bookbox, exam basket and other items, sat down slowly, and carefully wiped the desk, then took out the pen and ink inkstone from the bookcase, placed it neatly according to the custom, and then sat quietly, waiting for the distribution of test papers.
Today is the first county test, also known as the main field, mainly to test the scriptures.
The examiner extracts fragments from the four books, and the candidates fill in the blanks and write silently.
Because there is a lot of content in the four books, and the questions on the test paper are one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, it has great requirements for the candidates' recitation.
But for candidates who have been studying hard for decades, memorization is the most basic requirement. Therefore, this way of only memorizing and dictating and not testing the literary style can be said to be the easiest in the exam, and the number of admitted people is relatively large, as long as the text is smooth and there are no mistakes in the filling, they can pass, and those who are admitted can be allowed to participate in the following four exams.
That's right, this year's examiner set the number of sessions at five.
Of course, candidates have a lot of flexibility, and it is up to the candidates themselves to decide whether or not to participate after admission.
Lu Shuo sat bored like this for a while before the test paper was distributed.
Lu Shuo quickly looked at the test papers, and when he found that there were no errors such as printing, blurring, errors and omissions, he relieved himself and began to slowly browse through the test papers.
After he looked at the above test questions, he found that the examination method was very similar to the form of filling in ancient poems in the previous life exam papers. This kind of test question, for yourself who is familiar with the rolling melons of the four books, it is not a problem to answer it well.
Lu Shuo looked at the test questions, grinding the ink, and secretly thought: These are all basic questions on the test papers, as long as those who endorse them well, they can answer them well, although it is very simple for themselves, it is the same for others.
Lu Shuo thought of Wei Fuzi's expectations for himself, and hoped that he could take the "Little Three Yuan" exam.
Lu Shuo exhaled secretly.
At this time, it depends on who is more careful!
In addition, it is important to note that there should be no mistakes in filling in due to carelessness, and no temple secrets, royal names and sacred secrets should be made.
Lu Shuo thought about these precautions, and the ink was almost polished, so Lu Shuo began to answer the questions. It is written in a handful of Zhou Zheng block letters, elegant and delicate.
Because it was relatively warm in the room, Lu Shuo rolled up his sleeves to prevent a person from accidentally rubbing the test paper with his sleeve, causing the test paper to be pasted and become a black piece.
Lu Shuo concentrated, and if God helped, he was immersed in the test questions, one after another, and before he knew it, he had written to the last page.
After writing all the test questions and drying them, Lu Shuo looked at the hourglass in the middle of the examination hall.
It's only the end of noon!
There is still an hour before the rewinding.
Lu Shuo glanced out, and saw that in their examination room that accommodated forty "pigeon cages", there were already people who had handed in their papers one after another, looking at their ages, most of them were like themselves, and they were only in their teens.
Little young!
Lu Shuo shook his head secretly, deciding to ignore them, he buried his head in carefully checking again, and sure enough, he found a mistake, and hurriedly revised it.
Thankfully, fortunately!
After checking everything and seeing that there were no mistakes, Lu Shuo handed in the test paper and appeared a quarter of an hour early.
The white steward was waiting outside, and as soon as he saw Lu Shuo coming out, he hurriedly rushed over with his coat, put on Lu Shuo, and hugged him and sat in the carriage.
Lu Shuo couldn't help but smile when he saw that the usual solemn and self-controlled white steward looked like he was facing a great enemy today, and teased: "Uncle Bai, don't be so nervous, the fire wall in the room is burning, and I don't feel cold at all." ”
Uncle Bai instructed the coachman to start the carriage, and then turned around and said solemnly: "The body is the capital, it's always good to pay more attention, the young master can't take it seriously!"
Lu Shuo naturally understands this truth!
Lu Shuo surrounded himself like a big fat squirrel, answered with a crisp sound, held the hot tea, and took small sips.
When I returned to the house, the old and young were naturally caring and considerate.
The results of the first game came out quickly, and there were no rankings, only "gained" and "dethroned".
The little guy in the house took a look, and saw that it was really a "de" word, and Lu Shuo had the qualifications to continue to take the next exam.
This result was normal, Lu Shuo didn't pay too much attention, and he began to review the next content to be examined.
The remaining four, the second and fourth, are all tests of Moyi, the so-called Moyi, which is very similar to today's short-answer questions, and the answers are mainly from the book, which is not very difficult.
The third game is the same as the first, retry the scriptures, but the difficulty is slightly higher.
In the last one, three scriptures were tested, as well as a five-character and eight-rhyme poem.
The meaning of the scriptures is simple, and the focus is on composing poetry.
The title of the poem is "Endowed" with the sound of music in the human language and the word "contain", five words and eight rhymes. ”
This kind of five-character and eight-rhyme poem, also known as "Fu Dede", originated in the Tang Dynasty, and the more famous one is "Fu De Ancient Grassland Farewell" made by Bai Juyi. Later, due to the popularization of "post script" and "trial post" in the imperial examination, it gradually evolved into a special poetry style in the examination.
Lu Shuo browsed the title and saw that the title of the poem was from Lu You's "Sending Guests to the River", Lu Shuo carefully thought about its rhyme, as well as the historical basis for the poem, and slowly wrote it.
Although Lu Shuo's poems are not as exquisite as those of the ancients, they are the personal disciples of the two Confucian masters, and there is still a middle and upper level, and it is not difficult to make them.
Don't ask Lu Shuo why he didn't plagiarize from five thousand years of knowledge.
Every poem topic is very flexible, and there are strict requirements, and he is not a Tang poetry dictionary, where to search for it.
Besides, how can those works of everyone that have been passed down through the ages be so easy to copy! If you use their poems to make yourself famous, and you can't do it when you participate in literary and poetry meetings in the future, then you will really lose face.
So, it's better to be honest and be yourself!
After the last exam, handed in the exam papers, and walked out of the "Dragon Gate", Lu Shuo looked back at the rows of examination halls behind him, and let out a long breath of turbidity.
