The seat is adjusted, the things in the exam basket are sorted out, and the tools to be used to answer the questions are neatly placed on the table later, and then he sits on the seat and closes his eyes to recuperate, not to mention that there is no one he knows in the exam room, and even if there is such a time, he does not dare to chat.

Lin Liu felt that he had been waiting for a while, and there were many people who took the county exam this time, there were nearly a thousand people, and Lin Liu secretly wondered if he had thought about the county exam too simply! Only one person out of five people is admitted, which is definitely not a low elimination rate.

couldn't help but feel heavy, but Lin Liu didn't worry much about the exam questions from previous years that Master Lin got before.

After waiting for all the children to enter, the prefectural magistrate personally stepped forward to close the gate of the prefectural school, and then stood at the front of the examination room, signaling the people on the side to start.

First, the instructor saluted the examiner, and behind the examiner, he gathered to be a student, and then saluted the examiner, and the examiner was watching. Then on the side of the beginning of the name of the child, before and after the child was born, the county official personally put the exam papers, and then the person on the side sang loudly a certain child protection, and after the child confirmed, he should sing a certain child protection. If the student is suspicious of the candidate, the county official will immediately inspect or deduct the exam, and there will be alcohol in the lobby.

Lin Liu didn't know the person who claimed the insurance for him, so when he stepped forward to take the paper, he secretly glanced at it, and it was two people who didn't look particularly old.

Lisheng is actually a talent with good grades, and this kind of insurance to others is also a kind of connection, especially for people who have little power in the family, if you are lucky enough to subscribe to a powerful child, do you say that the powerful are embarrassed to give some money and send it away? People take a certain amount of risk, so they usually don't do this, but they will help, but if you can't hold up the wall with mud, then don't blame them.

In some places, even the county officials will pull two reliable students for the children of the Hanmen Shu clan who are very well educated, so that if they are admitted from the scientific examination in the future, the county official is Bole naturally has his benefits.

Lin Liu didn't know what conditions Master Lin promised these two people, but just looking at their age, these two people still have some potential. But think about it, Master Lin is still a very shrewd person, and he shouldn't choose the kind of person who can't be motivated by eating and waiting for death.

As in later generations, there is a fixed time for answering questions, and you can't answer questions first, and you can only sit quietly after receiving the exam papers.

In fact, I can't answer the question if I want to, because the exam paper issued by the county official is actually not an exam paper at all, there is not a word on it, this is actually just an answer sheet and scratch paper, Lin Liu put the answer sheet aside, and then spread the scratch paper on the table and pressed it with a paperweight. This distribution of "exam papers" will not be finished for a while, and Lin Liu began to grind ink when he was idle, he actually thought about bringing ink directly, but now that everyone brings inkstones and ink blocks, he is still unconventional and honestly grinds ink.

Before the crossing, Lin Liu only knew the name of the stationery, many things had not even heard of the name, after the crossing, he learned a lot of knowledge, although the Lin family had a small companion, but the grinding of ink or something Lin Liu was grinding himself from childhood to adulthood, now not to mention anything else, Lin Liu is definitely a good hand at grinding ink, but then again, which one of the ancient scholars is not a good hand at grinding ink, and the skill he lit up is purely a necessary basic skill for others.

The things in the exam basket were all prepared by Master Lin, but Lin Liu only looked at them in a hurry and didn't look at them carefully.

Usually, although Lin Liu does not use the four famous inkstones very luxuriously every day and every time, they are also good, so this is the first time he has seen such a simple inkstone after crossing over.

This inkstone is like a boxy brick that has been trampled on by a beast, with a large oval grinding plate, and then there are three small deep pits next to it, which look similar to the cute dog paw prints that have been handed down in later generations. Lin Liu took a closer look, this inconspicuous inkstone turned out to be Duan Yan, it was really a bit unexpected by Lin Liu, because Duan Yan is famous for its solid stone, lubrication, delicateness, and delicateness, and everyone generally sees that there will be carved things next to the Duan Yan, or pavilions, or flowers and plants, no matter how bad it is, it has to be engraved with a few auspicious lines, so simple Duan Yan Lin Liu is still the first time to see.

Although I was a little surprised, if the best inkstone can't be used for grinding ink, it's all garbage, and the appearance is not the standard for measuring the quality of the inkstone.

The ink ingots brought by Lin Liu are not sold on the market, but not for sale made by the Lin family's own small workshop, what are the benefits of this ink, he has not used other inks and does not know, there is no reference and contrast, naturally there is no way to distinguish, but I heard that it is the recipe for making imperial ink that was circulated when a certain dynasty died in the past, whether this news is true Lin Liu does not know, but it is true that the shop of the four treasures of the study run by his own family is doing well.

Scooping a little water on the inkstone, Lin Liu picked up the ink ingot with his left hand and began to grind the ink, and after grinding for a while, Lin Liu found the mechanism of this inkstone, it turned out that when he was almost grinding, the polished ink began to flow to one of the small pits, until it was filled with eight points and then began to flow to another small pit, and the three small pits were filled with eight points and then stopped.

It was the first time Lin Liu had seen this kind of inkstone, and if it wasn't for the examination room, he would definitely have had a good time.

Waiting for Lin Liu to polish the ink, the "exam paper" was also distributed, and the county magistrate began to read out the discipline of the examination room, and after reading it, the sun just rose and the sun shone on a corner of the examination room. Then I saw the county magistrate holding a Zhongkaihu pen in his hand and writing the first exam questions of the county examination on the rice paper that had been laid out on the side.

This exam question is not difficult but not simple, and many people think about it as soon as the exam question comes out.

It is not difficult to say, that is because the main field is the first admission of the county examination is wider, and those who are fluent in the text can be admitted, and those who are admitted to the main field are allowed to take the government examination, and whether to participate in the following fields is decided by the candidates themselves. Moreover, the exam questions are two articles of four books and two articles, and one poem of five words and six rhymes, which has a certain format for this topic, poem, and writing method, and the whole volume shall not be more than 700 words.

Just like writing essays in later generations, what is the opening point question, the middle point question, and the end point question are not afraid of deviating from the topic, and what is the beginning of the first sentence to enhance the momentum, what echoes the beginning and end, etc., there are routines for writing these things, as long as you don't deviate from the topic, don't write the content of the anti-emperor, the language can pass the test smoothly, and it's quite easy.

But the difficulty lies in how to be brilliant, there are four county exams this year, and the next one can only be tested after each exam, and the final announcement of the results is the ranking after the sum of the four, Lin Liu is ambitious and wants to take the county case, so he naturally does not dare to answer casually.
