The exam began, and the entire Suzaku Pavilion fell silent.

Ji Ning is also answering questions with his head covered, he doesn't want to care about things other than the exam, even if there is no disturbance outside, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, all he has to do is to write his own articles well, and then answer those policy questions.

There is no big difficulty in the strategy, in Ji Ning's opinion, Shen Kang's difficulty in coming up with these questions is not high, and it seems that Shen Kang also can't think of the questions that he has given him before, in order to avoid letting him do similar questions before, so that he can get some convenience, from this point of view, Shen Kang is still very fair.

Shen Kang also knew that Ji Ning had participated in this exam, so he would try his best to avoid suspicion, and sometimes he didn't need others to point fingers, Shen Kang would take the initiative to make some arrangements, so that Ji Ning knew that there were many things that could not be shortcuts.

It didn't take much time for Ji Ning to answer all the policy questions, and it was not half an hour at this time, and the rest of the candidates were still writing articles or doing policy questions, and they didn't have such a relaxed mood as him.

Ji Ning only went to see the exam questions of the three articles at this time, and the results of the previous preliminary examination were the same, there was nothing peculiar about the articles, two questions of the Four Books and Five Classics, and one was from "Guoque", such topics are familiar to Ji Ning, as for the quality of the article, it depends on your own performance level.

He thought to himself: "The people who took the exam with me this time are all apprentice bachelors of the Temple of Literature, and their knowledge is not low, so I can't underestimate them." If I used to try to be as stable as possible when I was writing an article, what I asked for at this time was to be as literary as possible and be able to explain my reasoning more clearly. ”

After having this belief, he wrote an article much more smoothly, an article needs to write about 300 words, and it only took him about half an hour to write all three articles, and it is directly written on the test paper, and there is no need to write the article on scratch paper.

After he finished writing, he found that everyone around him was still struggling to write, and no one got up to hand in the papers, so he thought to himself, "I won't be the first to finish the exam papers, right?" With a newcomer like me, is it a bit too hasty to hand in the papers directly? Others may say that I'm too complacent, forget it, I'm still not ruthless, just wait until the afternoon, and I'll hand in the papers. ”

Originally, Ji Ning wanted to read more questions, wanted to find out some more clues from them, and wanted to experience Shen Kang's mentality when he came out with the questions, but unfortunately, because he slept too late yesterday, it was a little hot near noon, and a little wind blew around him, and his head began to feel a little drowsy, and he finally fell asleep in the examination room.

As soon as he fell asleep, he didn't have any concept of time, and when he woke up, it was already more than an hour later, and it was already past noon, and he looked around, but still no one came out to hand in the papers.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "What's wrong with these trainee bachelors? Is this deliberate humility? It's all this time, why hasn't anyone handed in the paper yet? ”

With some questions, Ji Ning looked up at the position, at this time Ma Heng was glaring at him with a vicious gaze, obviously thinking that it was unseemly for him to sleep in the examination room, but there was no rule that said that he could not sleep in the examination room, so Ma Heng only gave Ji Ning an angry look, and did not come up to accuse Ji Ning of anything.

"Looks like I'd better rest a little longer." After Ji Ning finished thinking about it, he sat down and continued to stare at the roll in a daze.

It wasn't until after noon, when it was not until the middle of the day, that the first person came out to hand in the papers, this person Ji Ning also knew, it was Song Shanqian, among all the trainee bachelors who took the exam, Song Shanqian was also a very prominent one in learning, which is also the reason why Song Shanqian has always been unsociable, because others will always regard Song Shanqian as a potential opponent.

Ji Ning saw that Song Shanqian had already handed in the papers, and hesitated for a while, not in a hurry to hand in the papers, and after about half an hour, after a few more people handed in the papers, he got up and handed in the papers.

Ma Heng also asked when he collected his papers: "Are you done?" ”

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Hey." Ma Heng seemed a little disdainful, but he didn't say much specifically, so he closed the scroll directly, and didn't even bother to look at it, so he let Ji Ning leave.

Ji Ning left the Suzaku Pavilion, and he didn't have to stay in the Temple of Literature for a long time, after the bachelor's exam was over that day, he could leave earlier, and he was going to go back that day to deal with some things about the Three Flavors Academy.

When I went out of the door, I happened to meet Song Shanqian, it turned out that Song Shanqian had not left, but was waiting for him to come out. Seeing Ji Ning coming out, Song Shanqian said: "Yongning, it can be regarded as waiting for you, since your master has arrived in the capital, when will we visit?" ”

Ji Ning hesitated: "Brother Song, now that Shigong is the examiner, responsible for writing questions and grading papers, we are going to meet others now, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" And the master seems to be deliberately avoiding this matter, after he arrived in the capital, he didn't even mention it to me, I don't even know where he lives, how to go about it? ”

Song Shanqian said with a little disappointment in his eyes: "Yongning, you don't want to take me to see me, right?" When Scholar Shen arrived in the capital, how could he avoid you? ”

"If Brother Song doesn't believe it, it's okay, there's nothing to hide about this kind of thing, if I can see it, I also have to choose to see it or not, now I go to see it, it's just asking for trouble for myself, you haven't thought about it, in fact, Shigong is very unsuitable to come to see us now, and he is also afraid of gossip in the Temple of Literature? If I ask to see me at this time, I will be a little ignorant. Ji Ning said, "It's better to wait for the results of the bachelor's exam to be announced, and then you can go with me to see the master, so that it can be regarded as polite and courteous to be an apprentice." ”

Although Song Shanqian was reluctant, he would not offend Ji Ning, and nodded: "Then let's do this first, and then visit when I come back." Let's go, Yongning, find a teahouse to sit down and talk about this exam, what do you think of this exam? ”

As the two of them walked, they were talking about the exam, and for Ji Ning, this exam really didn't make a big feeling.

Ji Ning also said honestly: "Compared with the meeting, the atmosphere is still different. I feel like I can relax my mind, but as for the topic, I don't have any big feelings......"

Song Shanqian was surprised: "Yongning, you are very open-minded, this kind of exam is related to the future and destiny, and it is much more important than the exam...... But maybe it's a little more formal, I've participated a lot, and I'm still trembling every time, and sometimes my grades are good, but I still know that there is a distance from being selected. But I think you are also full of confidence, and you have a good chance of being admitted to the bachelor's degree in one fell swoop
