Chapter 20 The Fragrance of Osmanthus Moon

Early the next morning, Qian Jin rushed to the Gongyuan early in the morning.

The Gongyuan is very large, with more than 7,000 examination rooms, and it is the largest building in Linhai Province. At this time of year, the talents of Guangdong will rush to Linhai Mansion to participate in the triennial autumn festival. This has become a common practice, and there is no need to notice.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, there were two rows of soldiers. Before entering the examination room, each student was asked to enter a small room at the entrance and searched to see if there were any books or cheat sheets or the like.

I have to say that these students cheat in a variety of ways, some hide books and scrolls in their clothes, some make small notes and put them under the hem of their clothes, and even worse, some write directly on their legs.

The officers in charge of body searches are very experienced. After a while, more than a dozen students were driven out one after another.

Qian Jin glanced at it, and saw that a few of the brothers who were kicked out were still wearing cotton clothes, thinking that this cover-up was really bad, and he didn't look at such a hot day.

After searching his body, Qian Jin followed the long line into the tribute courtyard.

There are two doors in front, the first door is called the instrument door; The second gate is called the Dragon Gate, which means 'carp jumping over the Dragon Gate'. After entering the Dragon Gate, the students participating in the autumn festival were not allowed to enter or leave again.

Directly opposite the dragon gate, there is also a slightly higher staircase. Political envoy Xu Baolu and more than a dozen officials were standing on the steps to review. When the sentient beings passed in front of the stage, they all bowed to Xu Baolu and them.

Seeing that Xu Baolu was present, Qian Jin lowered his head and hugged the high platform, and hurriedly walked to his examination house. Although he has met Xu Baolu twice, and his uncle Wen Xun and him are close friends, Qian Jin has no intention of recognizing each other in this kind of scene. In case he is denounced by someone with a heart, he and Xu Baolu are both in trouble.

Qian Jin took his number plate and kept looking for it, stopped in Ding You's room, and confirmed that it was his own examination room.

He glanced inside, and the room was small, and the two planks were put together to form a bed for the students to sleep. When I took the exam, I removed the bed board and used one board as a table and one board as a stool. This is where he ate and drank Lazar for the next three days.

An hour later, all the students had entered the arena one after another. After the invigilator struck the gong, the students were confined to their own examination rooms and were not allowed to move around at will. Officials then distributed the test papers.

Qian Jin took the test paper and looked at it, and there was only one sentence in the exam question: To govern the country, you must first unite your family, and only when you can govern the world can you rule the world. Seeing this question, he smiled, this question is a test of the dialectical relationship between governing the country and the Qi family. I didn't lose my skills in writing articles in my previous life, but it took a lot of effort to write it in the format of eight shares.

In the past few years, he has thought about it and finally came up with a stupid solution, that is, to write the article into vernacular first, and then reverse translate it into classical Chinese sentence by sentence. Although the article will be a bit dull to read in the end, he has read "Zi Lun" and "Science" for so long, and if he polishes it again, it should be enough to cope with the exam.

It was still early, and Qian Jin looked at the opposite row of examination rooms, only to see that several benevolent brothers over there had also already gotten the exam papers. When one of the students saw that the official had left, he took out his shoes without hurry and opened the soles layer by layer. Dare to love this guy actually uses a cheat sheet as the sole of his shoe, this cheating method is really amazing.

Looking at the other brothers, they were all bowing their heads in contemplation. There was a handsome person who looked like he was in his chest, and Qian Jin couldn't help but take a few more looks.

As if sensing Qian Jin's gaze, the benevolent brother raised his head and glanced at him, and saluted with his fists in the distance. Qian Jin smiled sweetly, and also returned a salute, and looked at his number plate by the way: 'Bingsi'.

After the invigilator gave the order to do the questions, Qian Jin was not in a hurry to start writing, and first typed the draft. Like all students, he has studied hard for ten years, and today he is going to see the real chapter. As a traverser, he relied on his modern knowledge, but he did not dare to despise the students of the world.

Because he was so focused, one of the invigilators stood next to him for a short while, and he didn't pay much attention. Halfway through, the brother opposite with a cheat sheet on the sole of his shoe was dragged out and cried earth-shatteringly.

By noon on the third day, students were leaving the venue one after another. Qian Jin looked up at the opposite side, and the benevolent brother of the Bingsi seemed to have finished answering the questions and was carefully proofreading. Some of the others were still pondering, and some seemed to be answering more or less the same.

Qian Jin has already made a good draft. Anyway, there was still half a day to hand in the papers, so he simply put aside the exam, ate some of the flatbread he brought with him, and took a nap.

After recuperating himself, he proofread the draft again. After confirming that it was correct, he used a little wolf pen to neatly write more than 300 words on another piece of white paper, and then signed his name, and was ready to hand in the paper.

As soon as I got up, I happened to meet the brother on the opposite side, and he had already finished answering. The two men looked at each other and smiled, and walked out side by side.

Out of the Yimen, the benevolent brother clasped his fists and said, "Liao Donglin in Xialongmen County." What is this old brother called? ”

Qian Jin said with a smile: "Under Qian Jin, people from Guanhai City." Look at my brother's calm and relaxed, this time he must be in high school. ”

Liao Donglin waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily. On the contrary, brother, you came to the examination at a young age, and you are really a god. It's too early to rest now, I'm going to go for a walk, do you have a place to go, brother? ”

Qian Jin was not familiar with him, and he was a little tired, so he said: "I have been a little dizzy in the past three days, and I will go back to the inn to rest later." ”

Liao Donglin was not reluctant, and the two hurriedly left.

Qian Jin returned to the inn and fell asleep. He was really tired and slept until the next morning.

The remaining two exams are still one every three days, with a day off in between.

"Chen Law" mainly examines the legal provisions, and there are several major questions about criminal punishment and judgment, mainly depending on whether the students are familiar with Chen Lu and whether the punishment is accurate. The policy theory mainly tests current affairs and evaluates students' ability to analyze current affairs. These two courses are naturally difficult to get into.

After all three exams were completed, all the scholars finally breathed a sigh of relief. Autumn is not only an article for the exam, but also a test of a person's physical strength and heart. After nine days, all the students were physically and mentally exhausted, and some of them were even seriously ill.
