Chapter 103: Exam
At three o'clock, all the children of the land valve who were preparing to take the exam had arrived, and the number exceeded 300, which was an unprecedented spectacle in the past years. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, the people of the Rite Sect surrounded Lu Yi, the deacon of the Rite Sect, and appeared under the plaque of the Three Fears Hall.
Lu Yi was also dressed in a silver-gray Confucian robe, but he had a Pisces pendant hanging from his waist, and a black gauze scarf with folded horns on his head, showing his noble status as the eighth deacon of Lu Valve. As soon as he appeared, everyone in the audience was silent, whether it was the children who participated in the competition, or the father and brother who came to send the exam, they all bowed to Lu Yi and saluted, see the fourth deacon of this valve.
Lu Yi's face was elegant, his expression was calm, and he was not half arrogant, and politely arched his hand to everyone, signaling that they didn't have to be polite. Then there was the steward of the Rite Academy, who ordered all the children who took the test to stand in front of Lu Yi. The father and brother who sent the exam consciously flashed to the side.
Facing the younger generations who were taking the exam, Lu Yi finally revealed the majesty of the giant who was in charge of the Yivalve Ritual Literature, and said in a deep voice to the children: "I, Lu Valve, follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, the poetry and books are heirlooms, culture and education, and all the children in the clan have been enrolled in school since childhood. All candidates for the exam, regardless of their descendants, need to write according to the proposition within two hours, and the best one can be recommended by this valve to participate in the Jiupin official rating after a few months. ”
These are all due meanings that everyone has known for a long time, so Lu Yi did not say anything, said a few words, and then turned around and said, "Come in with me!" ”
The children solemnly arranged their robes and followed Lu Yi into the Three Fears Hall. They first stood in the main hall, and after Lu Yi gave incense to the ancestral tablet, they knelt down together and kowtowed to accept the review of the ancestors.
After getting up, Lu Yi led them through the front hall to the courtyard between the main hall and the front hall. The courtyard in the Sanwei Hall is also very wide, and at this moment it is densely filled with more than 300 low tables, on which a few pieces of white paper are neatly placed, and there are futons in front of it.
In front of the rows of low tables, there was a high table, on which was placed an object, covered with red silk, presumably related to today's exam.
This is the examination room for this competition, and at this moment, in addition to the deacon and miscellaneous servants, there are also two Lu Valve elders who are in charge of invigilating the examination. After the children bowed to the two elders, they knelt down in front of them.
When all the children sat down and set up the pen and ink they carried, Lu Yi's majestic gaze swept across the field, and more than 300 children were silent.
Seeing that there were still more than a dozen empty tables, Lu Yi frowned slightly and said, "What about people?" ”
The deacon on the side hurriedly reported: "It should be abandoned." ”
"What is the difference between registering but not daring to take the exam, and escaping?" Lu Yi said sternly: "Find out the identities of these people and remove them from the Rite Academy!" ”
The children couldn't help but show a look of shock, the Lu Valve Rite Institute was in charge of the children's examination and rating, once they were removed, it almost meant that these children would never come out.
One sentence cut off the future of more than a dozen children, but Lu Yi did not fluctuate in the slightest, and said lightly: "Let's start the exam." ”
In response, the deacon of the Rite Institute lifted the red silk on the high table, revealing a simple zhengqin. At the same time, someone opened the leak, and the sound of ticking water reminded the children that time had begun to pass......
The children hurriedly looked at the guzheng and scraped their stomachs. In this era, the emphasis is on quick thinking, so even if there are no detailed questions in the exam, only the same object or a few words will be given like this, and the test taker will be free to play. However, the content is free, and the format must be strictly in accordance with the rules of the pun, and there can be no violation.
Lu Yun looked at the zither and silently started the draft, and just after thinking about the beginning, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Qi, who was sitting in front of him, and he had already started writing hard. Lu Yun couldn't help but secretly exclaim, and said in his heart that this kid really has arrogant capital, and this shortcut alone makes him sigh to himself.
However, he quickly regained his mind, no longer paid attention to the article, and immersed himself in the composition. It took more than half an hour for a splendid article to finally take shape in his abdomen, and he was not in a hurry to study the ink and moisten the pen, ready to write.
At this time, Na Lu Qi had already gotten up to hand in the papers, and walked out of the examination room proudly under the amazed gaze of the deacon who collected the papers. When he passed by Lu Yun's side, he glanced at Lu Yun's exam paper, and saw that it was empty, without a word, Lu Qi couldn't help but sneer, and in a voice that only Lu Yun could hear, he spit out two words: "Idiot!" ”
Lu Yun didn't know what kind of grudge this eldest young master had against him, but it didn't affect him to ridicule Lu Qi. He also sneered lowly and said, "Plagiarism!" ”
When Lu Qi heard this, his face changed sharply, as if he had been exposed to an ulterior secret, he only glared at Lu Yun fiercely, and then fled and left the examination room.
After seeing Lu Qi's reaction, Lu Yun understood that he had guessed correctly. After the initial admiration, he quickly realized that although there are people in this world who are quick and quick-witted, it is impossible to write without thinking or writing in such a fateful exam.
You must know that the pun has requirements for battle and rhyme, and the most important thing is to carefully consider the words and sentences, even if you are a talented person, you have to first conceive into a draft, write a draft, and then scrutinize it word by word, and replace the words that do not meet the requirements, so as to completely achieve tone tuning and neatness.
Therefore, Lu Qi is likely to have already obtained the topic in advance and asked people to do a good job of the article, so that he can do it without thinking and swiping his pen. Of course, people may also have geniuses who are descending from Wenqu stars, and they can do this. But Lu Qi, as the grandson of the Great Elder, if he had such a great talent, how could he fail to be selected for the original list of four people, and be reduced to the point of competing with his own miscellaneous fish?
In an instant, Lu Yun already understood what Lu Xin meant earlier, and he was clearly hinting to himself that no matter how good the article was this time, he had no hope of being selected. After all, without Lu Yi's help, even if he was the grandson of the Great Elder, it would be impossible to get the exam questions in advance. And since Lu Yi can give Lu Qi the question, he will naturally not let the only place be left behind!
Thinking about it clearly, Lu Yun was not disappointed, but just sneered from the bottom of his heart. The dignified land valve, known as the heirloom of etiquette, but they do some dirty things of male thieves and female prostitutes, if this is the true nature of the gate valve, what qualifications do they have to be the model of the world, to be the pillar of the Great Xuan Dynasty?!
After settling down, Lu Yun pressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and began to write the first word. By the time he finished the draft and the revisions were completed, an hour and a half had passed. Then, Lu Yungong copied the article on the exam paper neatly, and when he finished writing the last stroke, the leakage was almost full.
Lu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed his wrist and read his article again, when the dripping sound stopped, and the deacon said in a deep voice: "Stop writing!" ”
At this time, the vast majority of the children have finished writing, either with a satisfied face, or straighten up with a sad face, but there are also procrastinators who want to write a few more words on the paper. As a result, all of them were judged to be overtime by the deacons who collected the papers, and their examination papers were refused.
Those children who were rejected for the exam papers looked frustrated, but they were not too excited. After all, only one person out of 300 people was taken, and they knew very well that they had not even finished writing the article, and they had no chance at all......
The deacon collected more than 200 examination papers and sent them to the Rite and Education Institute for approval. The children left the exam room in droves, and no matter what, everyone was relieved......
Later that day, the names of the selected candidates would be announced, so the parents and brothers who accompanied the exam brought dry food in advance, and most of the children did not go home, but gathered outside the examination hall to eat dry food while waiting for the final result.
Although there is little hope, who can give up the illusion until the dust settles?
