Prefectural exam

Xie Yanqing felt that they had really waited for a long, long time in the tribute courtyard this time, anyway, he had been standing for a long time after waking up from sleep, and when his legs were almost numb when he was standing, the prefect and other officials were late.

When the prefect and his party came to the Gongyuan, the sky was already hazy, and they could see the figure clearly without candlelight.

The place left for the candidates to wait in the Gongyuan is not very good, just a bare hall. But Xie Yanqing still slept for a while, because he was not afraid of losing face, so he sat directly on the ground and leaned against the wall and slew.

As for some candidates who are afraid of losing face or feel that this is detrimental to Sven, they have been standing there and waiting.

But by the time the prefect came, most of the candidates were relatively awake, after all, after standing for so long, the drowsiness had already been driven away.

The prefect did not delay after they came, and immediately took the candidates to meet the sage Confucius to burn incense and salute, and then the rules of the examination room were preached by the teachings, and the government examination kicked off.

Xie Yanqing's seat this time was not ordinary, because he was the head of the county, so Xie Yanqing sat in the first row with the other county heads.

What's even more special is that three meters away from their row of rooms, sitting are the prefect and other officials.

Xie Yanqing is very awkward now, because he feels that among the people who come and go, everyone will pay him a salute, but maybe this is because he is too sensitive, and others are not necessarily looking at him.

However, his age is indeed too eye-catching, and the county capital next to him is about twenty years old, and he is a small child mixed in among them, which is simply too eye-catching, and of course it will arouse the curiosity of others.

Because Xie Yanqing had just slept for a while, he was in very good spirits now, and he didn't feel tired at all.

So as soon as the test paper was sent out, he checked that the test paper was not missing, misprinted, or blurred, and then began to write drastically.

Because today is only the first exam, and the test is the scripture. Although it was a government exam, the difficulty of the questions was a little more difficult than that of the county exam, but these questions were still very simple in the eyes of Xie Yanqing, a person with a talent for memorization, so he wrote out the answers after a while.

After Xie Yanqing finished writing and answering the case, he found that there was still a long, long time left, and he didn't want to stare at those officials, so he was ready to lie down on the table and sleep.

Perhaps he was acting too uniquely, so before he could fall asleep, the prefect and other officials left their seats and came down to look at his test papers.

This should be regarded as preferential treatment for the heads of the case, after all, not everyone's test papers have the opportunity to be read by the prefect and others during the exam. Xie Yanqing thought.

Xie Yanqing didn't feel anything at all about the prefect and others looking at his test papers, after all, in modern times, this kind of thing has been experienced too much, okay? In exams, there are always some teachers who like to flip through students' papers.

On the contrary, Xie Yanqing felt that the prefect was frightened by him. Because after reading his test papers, Xie Yanqing obviously saw the shock on the prefect's face.

After the prefect and his party left, Xie Yanqing fell asleep by himself.

As for asking, why do you want to sleep instead of sitting upright and make a good impression on the prefect? Xie Yanqing said that he didn't sleep well last night, he is still a child now, and he needs enough sleep, otherwise it will affect his development, and he will have no place to cry at that time.

This government exam is a four-day test, and the content of the exam is similar to the county exam, and it is also a scripture, Moyi, scripture and arithmetic, poetry, but this time the arithmetic and poetry are combined together, and only one test is taken.

In this exam, in general, Xie Yanqing didn't play very well, the first few games were fine, but in the last game, Xie Yanqing was really in a hurry.

Originally, he was poor in arithmetic, and the arithmetic difficulty of the government exam deepened, and he was merged with poetry, only one test, and the time was much less.

In addition, the prefect and other officials would also walk to Xie Yanqing from time to time to watch him answer questions, which made him even more nervous.

It's fine if he can write, but the problem is that he can't write, and being watched by these people makes him even more nervous, and the hand he holds the pen is shaking, and goosebumps are rising all over his body.

And the prefect and other officials have been walking around in front of him, checking the candidates' test papers from time to time, and the scene of the shaking figure in front of him always interrupted Xie Yanqing's train of thought, so he became even more irritable.

Anyway, in the last exam, it took Xie Yanqing a long time to calm himself down.

And in the end, he also changed his strategy, first wrote poems and then did arithmetic, if it wasn't for this, then the final result Xie Yanqing really couldn't imagine.

Because by the end of the exam, even though Xie Yan counted the candles this time to extend the time, he still hadn't finished the question.

There are a total of three arithmetic questions this time, and Xie Yanqing didn't have time to write the last arithmetic question at all, so he handed it in completely blank.
