Examination 1
Soon, Xie Yanqing walked to his own room under the leadership of the officials.
Room No. 1 is a small house about the same size as a modern public toilet, but the height is much worse than that of a public toilet, about 1.2 meters, which is convenient for the invigilator to see if the candidate has any small movements.
Room No. 1 is connected row by row, and there is also a row opposite Xie Yanqing, but the distance between the two rows is far, anyway, if you want to plagiarize, you can't copy it.
There is a small desk and a small stool in the room, and on the table are three candles and a pen wash with water. Don't underestimate this candle, this candle is very useful, and you can use it to delay the delivery time.
Because it was not yet dark, Xie Yanqing lit the candle on the table as soon as he entered, and then took out the rag he brought from Kaolan and began to wipe the table.
The room is only used once a year, although the government will send someone to clean it every time there is an exam, but the cleanliness is not according to the standards of ordinary people.
Not long after entering the number room, the test papers were sent down, and there were a total of 18 sheets of paper, including 8 sheets of paper and 10 sheets of blank paper. Xie Yanqing checked it carefully, and there was no blur or omission, so his heart relaxed.
Xie Yanqing looked at the sky and was ready to sleep first, it was not dawn yet, and it was a little unsafe to write with candle lighting, and although he slept very early yesterday, he still felt a little tired now.
He has always believed that only when he has a good rest can he have enough energy to deal with the exam. So he calmly blew out the candle and lay down on the table to make up for his sleep.
The candidates next to him were shocked, they could sleep so peacefully at this time? Not afraid of oversleeping and missing an exam? During this period, when the county commander inspector walked by here, he was also surprised.
However, he is well-informed and knows that some candidates will rest before dawn to recuperate and take the exam again, but every time there are candidates who directly oversleep.
Other candidates who did this were forced by their families to come, planning to sleep in the examination room all the time, confusing their families, seeing that this person was so young, they just didn't know what it was.
After Xie Yanqing slept for a while, he felt light and comfortable, and the sky was brighter at this time, almost more than 7 o'clock.
In fact, Xie Yanqing has a biological clock, if he sets a time for himself to get up, he can usually wake up before that point in time, he has tried many times, and every time it is very accurate, if it is not so, then he will not dare to sleep today.
Today is the first session of the county exam, and the things to be tested are very simple, just scriptures, in modern terms, that is, fill-in-the-blank questions and silent writing questions.
In fact, when he first started to read the test papers, Xie Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the content of the four books and five classics was posted, as long as he could memorize all the four books and five classics, almost no one could pass, thanks to Xie Yanqing's talent of never forgetting, he quickly thought of the answer.
Xie Yanqing soon began to write, and his current handwriting has improved a lot. Under his persistence for five years, his handwriting has become a little more elegant and has entered the ranks of excellence. And because he usually copies books from time to time, his current handwriting can be written beautifully, quickly and without mistakes.
In only half an hour, Xie Yanqing had already written all the answers, he looked at them, and was very satisfied with his answers and words, so he covered his answers with oiled paper and put them in the examination basket.
Because this dynasty stipulates that except for a few candidates who have not finished writing, they can light candles and delay the time, the rest of the candidates must submit their papers at a unified time, and the test papers submitted in advance will be invalid, so Xie Yanqing can't go out of the examination room now, so he can only sit inside.
But he couldn't look around, for fear of being regarded as cheating, so Xie Yanqing went back to sleep.
The candidate next to him was speechless, and only after writing for such a little time and sleeping, did he use the examination room as a place to sleep?
When the county magistrate inspected here again, he saw that Xie Yanqing was still sleeping, and out of the conscience of a parent official, he woke Xie Yanqing up.
Xie Yanqing was very confused, anyone who was suddenly woken up while sleeping and saw the county magistrate would be a little confused, wouldn't they?
"It's only three quarters of an hour before the end of the exam, have you finished the paper?" Fang Ming looked at Xie Yanqing, who was still a child, and said expressionlessly, really, looking at his young age, is he a gentleman now?
"Lord Prefectural Order, I've finished writing it early." Xie Yanqing said that he was very calm, and I finished writing who I was afraid of.
"Really? Then you take it out and take a look. Fang Ming was really angry, and he dared to lie in front of him.
The candidates next to him all gloated, such scum actually took the exam with them, and the county magistrate should give him a little color to see, so that he would not dare to enter the examination room in the future.
After getting Xie Yanqing's test paper, Fang Ming was not calm, this was really written, and the answers were all correct, and the words were also written very well, which was quite stylish.
No, no, looking at his age, he is only about ten years old, how can he write such a good hand? It takes someone who has practiced for at least seven or eight years to write this word, is he cheating?
"Do you still have a blank sheet of paper? Write a few words and show me. Fang Ming said with a dark face, if this answer is really cheating, then this is a big deal, if he can cheat, it means that there are still a large number of people who can cheat.
Xie Yanqing just had a blank piece of paper left to write, so he sharpened the ink and wrote a few words on the paper.
He is not stupid, he knows that the county order suspects him of cheating, of course he has to behave well and clear his suspicions.
After reading Xie Yanqing's words, Fang Ming nodded secretly, this person's answer was not cheating. However, he dared to go down at his age, and the answers in the first scene were all written correctly, and the words were written so well, he was really a manufacturable material, and now he is really terrifying.
Xie Yanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after watching the magistrate leave with a long line, of course the ordinary people of the two generations would be nervous when they stood in front of the officials.
