The examination room of the county examination is generally located on both sides of the corridor in front of the county government hall, because the place here is spacious enough, and there are walls on both sides, so it is convenient to build an examination booth.

At this time, both sides of the road have been full of small examination sheds that are one step square, the left is Tianzi No. 1, the right is Dizi No. 1, and there are only more than ten examination sheds on each side, but there is no need to bother to find it.

Yang Cong walked directly to the front of the examination booth on the left, raised his eyes and looked at the numbered sign hanging, and then walked in sideways, looking around.

This examination shed is really simple, there are wooden planks on both sides, and there are wooden planks on it, less than eight feet high, you can touch the ceiling by raising your hand, and the furnishings inside are also simple and scary, just a small table, a straw mat.

There was nothing on the mat, but there was a bowl on the small table, and the bowl was filled with water.

However, this water is not for drinking, but for grinding ink and brushes.

Yang Cong looked at it for a while, tightened his belt again, and then began to clean up the things he was carrying.

Brushes, inkstones, ink sticks, paperweights, these are all things to be used in the exam, just set up a table.

The toilet, he brought a brand new small toilet, and it even had a faint rosin scent at this time, but it would definitely stink when the time came, he thought about it, and placed it in the farthest corner from the table.

Eat, that is, a delicate porcelain bowl with a few spiced dried meat cut into thin strips and a baked cake cut into thin strips, mainly used at noon to be hungry, during the exam must not be able to eat to the full, because the more you eat, the more you pull, this place is in, you can not let out until the end of the exam, of course, the less you pull, the better.

This thing definitely can't be placed with the toilet, it can only be placed in another corner opposite each other.

The kettle is a small teapot with an open mouth, the kind that can be seen at the bottom when you open the lid, and it can't hold much water, even if you are thirsty, you can't drink some of it, and you can't drink more of this thing, because the more you drink, the more you pull.

This thing definitely can't be placed with the toilet, next to the food.

There is also a small banana fan, either the iron fan princess's, or the kind made of sun-dried banana leaves.

This thing can be placed on the table, so that people don't suspect that they are cheating.

In other words, don't these scholars and boys like to use bamboo bone paper fans, why did he bring a fan made of banana leaves, this kind of fan is used by poor people.

Of course, this is also to save trouble, paper fan, who knows if you have writing inside, if you tear it open and check, people will not give you back.

He was busy for a while, and other candidates also came in one after another, and after about half an hour, more than 30 examination booths were full.

Although both sides of the corridor are full of people, there is no trace of conversation, everyone is silently preparing their own things, even if acquaintances sit next door, no one is stupid to say hello, you must know that the head to the ear is also cheating, who knows whether this time is considered cheating, to meet the inspector in a bad mood, as long as he says a word, you will read in vain in this life.

At this time, the inspector and the county magistrate Liu Shouliang finally walked back to the county hall together, and they seemed to have summoned a few officials to check the paint seal of the test paper together, and then opened it in public and attached the answer sheet and manuscript paper one by one.

When the time came, the inspector gave an order, and the two officials who inspected the candidates quickly ran to the front of the two rows of examination booths with two stacks of rolling papers, and finished them after a few brushes.

Immediately afterwards, the county commander Liu Shouliang shouted loudly: "The exam is open." ”

Yang Cong saw that all the candidates moved, so he slowly picked up the test paper and looked at it.

It's nothing to try to post poems, anyway, it's nothing more than government affairs, agricultural affairs, military affairs and other related content, he has prepared more than a dozen poems, and he can just find a similar change to the prime minister, but the title of these eight strands of text made him frown slightly.

The title of these eight strands of literature is "The Benevolence of the Abyss, the Abyss of the Abyss, and the Vast Heaven." If you just look at these three sentences, it's just confusing.

Of course, Yang Cong is not confused, he knows that this sentence is excerpted from "The Mean. Chapter 32", the original sentence is, "Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to enrich the world's great scriptures, establish the world's great foundation, and know the transformation and education of heaven and earth." Do you have something to rely on? The abyss, the abyss, the vastness. If you are not solid, who is wise and knows the virtues of heaven, who can know them? ”

Combined with the meaning of the previous and subsequent texts, this sentence is to praise Confucius's sincerity and benevolence, as deep as a pool of water, and as vast as the sky.

The meaning of this title is to ask people to write an essay in praise of Confucius.

This topic came out, and he wrote an eight-strand essay praising Confucius, but he really hadn't tried.

However, it doesn't matter much, just write it strictly according to the requirements of the eight-strand text.

He pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote on the scratch paper, because it was a formal imperial examination, he wrote quite seriously, and did not write as usual in a sparse manner, plus he has been doing it these days, this draft has a faint taste of the words of a saint.

Of course, it is impossible for him to complete the next four sets of dual sentences in one go, if he can even write the dual sentences in the eight-strand text in one go, then it is really a genius among geniuses.

He really worked hard about this eight-strand essay, and it took him an hour to write the draft, and it took him nearly two hours to change it before he put down the brush with satisfaction and prepared to copy it on the official test paper.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the weather was not ordinarily hot, even if he subconsciously fanned the wind with a fan, he was already sweating at this time, and he was concentrating on writing for three hours, and he was a little hungry unconsciously.

He was about to drink some water, eat something and then copy it carefully, "poof", when a muffled sound suddenly came from the examination booth next to him.

Immediately afterward, a foul smell came to my nose.

"Vomit", he couldn't spit out all the porridge he drank in the morning.

Nima, who is this, don't have diarrhea in the morning, don't diarrhea in the evening, you come to diarrhea during the exam!

You can't say a word during this imperial examination, otherwise you will be talking to each other, and the results of the examination will be cancelled at the least, and the qualification for the examination will be revoked forever.

He could only silently endure the stench, fanning the wind vigorously, until the guy finished pulling and the stench faded, he endured the nausea and drank saliva, and then picked up the brush and copied it.

As for the jerky and pancakes, he categorically couldn't eat them.

This feeling is like eating in a squatting pit, who can eat it!

He endured the smell and finished transcribing the article, and before he could write the test poem, the whole examination room suddenly sounded like a fried pot, and there were muffled sounds and extremely suppressed snorts one after another, and the stench of various flavors kept coming, making him roll his eyes!

Nima, these people, what's the matter, know that they took today's exam, and deliberately ate Croton to disgust people, right?

Of course, these candidates are not so boring, everyone knows that today's exam, they will definitely not eat indiscriminately, the problem is that it will be June, the weather is too hot, and they are also stuffed in a small space of less than three square meters, like steaming steamed buns, many people are steaming from heat stroke.

Most of these heat strokes start with stomach pain, so it's not surprising that there are a few diarrheas, and it's not bad if no one faints.

This guy, this stench can smoke Yang Cong, who has been pampered for more than a month, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial examination was not allowed to hand in the paper in advance, he really wanted to fill in the test post poem immediately, and then handed in the paper and left.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, diarrhea, more and more peeing, the whole examination room has become a toilet pit pit, smelly, finally, someone can't help but vomit, followed by the sound of "wow", I don't know how many people vomited, and there was a disgusting sour smell in the air, which made people feel painful.

This guy, this imperial examination room is really difficult, and he has to be physically almost in good health, who has suffered from this torture.

This is still the county exam, only one day of the exam, if you go to the township exam and the general exam, it will be like this for three consecutive days, how can you get through!
