In the blink of an eye, it is February 15th, which is the day of the college examination.

Just after the ugly time, Jia Dairu came over and woke Jia Rui up.

I got dazed, got dressed, took the exam basket I had prepared in advance, and went out of the house.

Wang San had already prepared the ox cart, and Grandma, Zhang's mother, and Mi'er were already waiting by the car.

Jia Rui and Jia Dairu got into the ox cart and went to the Gongyuan Temple.

When you get out of Ning Rong Street, you can occasionally see pedestrians on the road.

Either on foot, on horseback, or by car, they are all people who are rushing to take the exam.

When I arrived at the Gongyuan, there were already a lot of people gathered here, in groups of threes and twos, discussing and waiting for the door to open.

There are also students who shake their heads and recite the classics as they walk.

A few more drums sounded, and when it was time to arrive, a group of soldiers came out of it.

A few of the leaders began the roll call, and after the roll call, the entrance began.

"Brother Rui, success or failure is in this move, I haven't been admitted to the exam for the rest of my life, and this time grandpa will rely on you. If you can pass the test, I will die, and I can close my eyes. ”

Jia Dairu's voice trembled, and his eyes were glistening with tears under the reflection of the light.

This old man, is it so serious? If you can't pass the test, you won't close your eyes when you die? It's okay, even if you don't close your eyes, I'll close it for you when the time comes.

"Grandpa, it's okay."

"I can't be fine, it's a big deal."

"Okay, okay, I see. Don't worry, I'll be able to get in. You guys go back, I'll just go home by myself after the exam, and I don't have to wait here. I went in. ”

"Brother Rui, you must be hit."

"Got it."

Always put pressure on, aren't you afraid that my heart will be overburdened? Fortunately, from elementary school to university, I have gone through countless exams and rushed out of the army, otherwise, I would have to be blindfolded before I entered the examination room.

Check when you enter the venue.

Several soldiers searched their bodies and inspected the test basket.

The inspection is very detailed, the clothes must be taken off, it is not allowed to wear clothes with lining and noodles, it is not allowed to wear double shoes and socks, if there is, it must be torn open for inspection.

The bread and naan must be broken, and the brush, inkstone, and even the middle of the pattern of the basket must be checked. No pieces of paper or anything are allowed.

"What is this? Hahaha, I caught a cheater. ”

A soldier holding an inkstone in his hand suddenly shouted.

"Congratulations Brother Zhao, a tael of silver is in hand."

Originally, there was a rule that in order to encourage the soldiers to check carefully and prevent the candidates from cheating, each person found to have cheated would be rewarded with one or two pieces of silver.

The soldier pulled out a knife from his waist and picked at the bottom of the inkstone, and a piece of the inkstone was missing, revealing the note inside.

"Take him away. Wear a flail for public display. ”

Candidates who are found to have cheated will not only be disqualified from the examination, but will also be put on shackles to show off in public, hit boards, and in serious cases, may even be exiled to the army.

"Wronged, that's not my inkstone."

"Less nonsense, no one says it's their own."

The hapless guy was pulled out.

After a while, it was Jia Rui's turn to check.

The two soldiers checked for a long time, and there was no problem, but they just didn't let Jia Rui enter the field.

Jia Rui also felt strange, so he paid attention to the two of them.

saw the two of them glance at each other, and the soldier surnamed Zhao just now suddenly clenched his fist and stretched out his fist to Jia Rui's test basket.

Jia Rui quickly stepped forward and grabbed his fist, not letting him spread it. The other hand broke his fingers, and a note appeared in his palm. Obviously, he didn't find anything prohibited, and he wanted to deliberately frame Jia Rui.

"Boy, the people of Rongguo Mansion, you dare to frame you, you're tired of it, aren't you? For a reward of one or two pieces of silver, delaying the future of people's lives, too lacking in virtue, right? ”

"Huh? Rongguofu's? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

"What's the matter, the inspection is over, don't go in quickly, take a walk, don't delay others."

The other guy saw that the situation was not good, and quickly pushed Jia Rui in.

Alas, even this kind of thing can happen, this Dade Empire is not lightly ill.

After entering the venue, a roll of paper is handed out with a number on it, and according to this number, each person is seated, and each person has a room.

At this time, before dawn, the candidates lit candles, took out pen and ink inkstones, and began to prepare.

Some took out the food and started eating.

There are three township examinations and general examinations, and only one college examination, but they also have to last until the afternoon, a whole daytime. Therefore, the test is not only a test of intelligence, but also an individual work. After all the candidates have entered the venue, the gate and instrument door are closed and locked.

The day gradually brightened, and when it was time to go, the cloud board sounded in the hall, the hall was quiet, and the exam officially began.

Two examiners and a soldier came in, the soldier held a large sign in his hand, and the three of them walked back and forth in the corridor.

The big sign reads the questions for this exam. Two candidates with poor eyesight could not read the questions clearly, so the examiner recited the questions aloud three times.

Then the examiner announced the discipline of the examination, which is nothing more than not allowed to leave the seat, not allowed to change the seat, not allowed to change the paper, throw the paper, talk, groan, look left and right, and so on.

On the edge of the examination room, there are soldiers guarding and watching, and a few people patrolling back and forth.

The examiners from the school and the county were on the second floor, monitoring the situation in the examination room below.

Three more cloud boards sounded, and the examiner shouted to start answering the papers, and the exam officially began.

The title of this eight-strand essay is "The Gentleman Can Cause His Body", which comes from the chapter of "Analects and Learning": "Parents can do their best, and the monarch can do their best." ”

Jia Rui pondered for a while, thought about a few problems, and was not satisfied. Just put down your pen and relax.

Solving the question is the first level, and it is also the examiner's first impression, whether the intention is high or not, and whether it is accurate or not is related to the layout and discussion of the whole text later, so it is very important.

After thinking about tea for a while, Jia Rui had an eyebrow and began to solve the problem.

"Do your best to do things, and it is not easy to do what you can."

The main emphasis here is on the word "sincerity".

In fact, the monarch likes the word "loyalty" the most, but "loyalty" is too straightforward, and there is an obvious suspicion of flattery, if you meet a stinky temper examiner, especially those who shout slogans all day long and consider themselves saints and disciples, they are likely to hate this statement. So the word "sincerity" was used.

Although Jia Rui is not particularly satisfied, this is also his highest level, and he thinks it is not bad.

Next is the title: "There are many people who can do things, but there are few people who can make a body." What if it could? Its sincerity is not as good as it gets. ”

Finally, he was bound by strands: "Oh, if you are like this, what can you do without learning?" And that's not all. ”

A total of about 400 words, the length meets the requirements.

The gist of the whole article is that it is relatively easy for a person to do things to the best of his ability, but it is not an easy thing to dedicate oneself to serving the monarch with all one's heart. Therefore, at home, we should honor our parents, and then move our filial piety to loyalty, and serve the monarch with all our might.
