Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Beginning of Spring (I)
After a few days of trouble on the street with Yuan Dacaizi, I warmed up the book a little at home, and this day was the day of the Spring Festival. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Speaking of which, Lin Fu has some procrastination, and in line with the principle that being able to practice one day is a day, he almost came to Kyoto in the time of spring.
But think about it carefully, in the past few days before the Spring Festival, I only went out twice, and I encountered these things. I can only say that people in Kyoto need to be cautious and pay attention at all times.
The Spring Exam has always been a new thing that Lin Fu wants to try to experience, but as a result, he slightly underestimated the disgusting degree of some of the Spring Trick Exam.
The endless queue outside the gate of the Gongyuan in the capital was full of people waiting to enter the exam, and there were a lot of dry food in the package they carried with them to cope with the long exam.
Not only did the door of the Tribute Courtyard have to be strictly inspected, but even the clothes have to be taken off, and the examiners accompanied by several heavily armed soldiers have to look at them before they can cover their messy clothes and go inside to find a small house.
The food they bring with them is also subject to strict inspection, and all the pastries and shortbreads have to be cut into one inch square to indicate that there is no note hidden in them.
Not only is the simplicity of the house beyond Lin Fu's imagination, but the size and decoration are like prisons, and the nine days of spring, each three days and nights, are all spent in this place that is less than two meters long, and the body cannot be stretched out when lying down at night, which is really a terrifying torture.
Even the intensity of the invigilation made him dumbfounded. Next to the number building in the examination room, almost every three or five steps, there was a soldier with a long weapon on standby, every twenty paces, a soldier with a knife hanging from his waist patrolled back and forth, and there were thorny thorns all over the surrounding walls.
Lin Fu thought that the scene of the college entrance examination in a certain life was already quite spectacular, but he didn't expect that the big ratio in ancient times was even worse, at least he didn't have to eat and drink during the college entrance examination, and Lazar was all in the examination room, no!
The candidates in the same exam are also very different in age, Lin Fu even caught a glimpse of an old man with a white beard, looking at that look, I am afraid that the pen is not stable, I really don't know how much meaning this is.
When Lin Fu sat in this room, he found that this place for candidates to answer questions for three times and three days and nights was even more shabby than what it looked from the outside. There are brick walls on the left and right, and two brick supports, one or two feet above the ground, are built to place the upper and lower layers of wooden planks.
During the daytime exam, the upper wooden board replaces the table, the lower wooden board is used as a stool for candidates to sit and answer questions, and the upper wooden board is taken out at night and merged into the lower layer to be used as a sleeping bed.
Lin Fu originally thought that the conditions in the capital were a few points better than those in the township examination, but he didn't want to because people from all the states were rushing to take the exam in Kyoto, the size of this house was even smaller than that of Xuzhou.
Fortunately, the test is in the early spring, so it is called spring, and although the air temperature is a little cold, it is better than September when the autumn test is taken.
In autumn, the whole house is stuffy and unusually hot, and the food you bring with you is easy to deteriorate and moldy. If you have a bad stomach, you still need to queue up to go to the toilet, because there is only a dung number in a whole row of number houses for reference students to use to solve their physiological needs.
Over the years, there have been candidates who have died in the examination room, there have been unexpected stampede accidents that have been squeezed down by the crowded candidates, there have also been poisoning incidents of food spoiled and moldy, and I heard that there are also people who have been bitten to death by poisonous snakes.
However, the spring is a little less than the autumn bar, this square circle will be over two square meters of shabby house, the main entrance is completely hollow, at this time the Beijing candidates also have to bring their own oilcloth to cover the wind and cold, it can be said that it is not easy.
Just thinking about it, I saw the spring cannon outside the door, and the gate of the Gongyuan slowly closed.
Lin Fu watched the courtyard door close tightly, and remembered the rules of the Spring Festival, this courtyard door could not be opened in advance no matter what. In my previous life, I also heard that there was a fire in the courtyard, but there was no order from the superior not to dare to open the door, and I don't know if it was true or not. Fortunately, although his body has a secret injury, he is in a light body, and he should not encounter this kind of thing.
Just when Lin Fu was thinking nonsense, with the arrival of the holy decree, a group of students had already begun to write and answer. Everyone quickly read and answered the questions, and a tense atmosphere rose in the whole courtyard, after all, this can almost be said to be a test of the dragon gate, and it is a battlefield for students and soldiers.
Especially for students who come from a poor background, if they can't make the list, these years of hard study will be useless, and they have to return to their hometowns and wait for three years to fight again. The selection of the examination is strict, coupled with the fact that the elites secretly divide the places, even if talented students from poor families fail two or three times, it is not uncommon. Two or three misses, back and forth, hard reading in the cold window, unconsciously it is ten years of life.
Therefore, it can be said that this is a moment when everyone dare not relax, and probably only those who travel can still have leisure and cranky thoughts at this time.
Not only is the exam environment not easy, but the test questions are also not easy. In the past two years, the truncation question has somehow become popular, and the sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics are truncated and tied as the meaning of the title.
Just like what Lin Fu saw at this time, intercepting "People from other countries are also called Mrs. Jun" and "Yang goods want to see Confucius" as "Mrs. Jun's Yang Desire", Lin Fu was dumbfounded.
After thinking for a long time, he put aside the filthy associations in his mind, and then he replied, "Mrs. Jun, women, yang goods, talents, Mrs. Jun's desire to get yang goods, just like His Majesty's desire to be a celebrity, is natural and wonderful." ”
After writing, I really couldn't hold back the association of the dirty meaning of this topic in my heart, and couldn't help but slander in my heart, "What His Majesty wants is not what I want", and the right should be a pleasure in suffering.
Writing and writing, I suddenly somehow thought of a question, that is, I have never heard of a tie for the champions, so what if someone is the same score?
I also remembered that Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of a certain life, once let the two talented men who tied for the first place fight on the spot, and it was the champion who won. I couldn't help but laugh secretly, if I and others came to this point, I would definitely be able to win easily, and I wouldn't be so embarrassed.
It's not that Lin Fu is big-hearted, but that the ancients were too good at detours, and the test methods of the questions were too imaginative, so he couldn't help but get distracted and remembered some paragraphs from the imperial examination in his previous life.
All the candidates here are meditating, scratching their ears and cheeks, and Lin Fu's answer to this question is always laughing, which is particularly eye-catching.
Of course, the candidates didn't have the energy to be distracted and think about it, but the adults who supervised the order of the examination room were chatting in every way, so they naturally became interested in him.
