Chapter 44 County Examination (1)
In the gap between learning, Xia Yuanjie secretly asked in a whisper: "Yuan Ding, why do you say that grandpa always asks about the content in "Yongshu", can you really get it in the county exam?" ”
Xia Yuanding really wanted to roll his eyes, how could the fifth brother ask such an idiotic question, because he didn't know how to answer at all, even if he crossed over, he couldn't be unpredictable, so this question should be answered after the exam. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Okay, after you go back, be sure to review these contents more, tomorrow is the exam period, and don't sleep too late, so as not to delay tomorrow's exam!"
On the evening of the sixth day of the second lunar month, after dinner, Xia Jizu supervised the two grandchildren again, and then let it go.
If you want to say that it is also angry, Xia Jizu returned from a tour of the lake in the evening, and was studying Xie Zhi with Wang Maohong with great interest, when he suddenly woke up, it seems that tomorrow is the seventh day of the second month, and it is not the exam date.
After understanding, what is he still discussing in the study, let's teach the two grandchildren first. This summoned Xia Yuanding and them in a hurry for a temporary final assault.
This tossed for a while, and I felt that everything that should be said was said, and what happened next depends on the performance of the two grandchildren themselves.
It was indeed a little late to enter the city on the fifth day of the first month of February, and now it seems that it was a bit hasty, and there was only one day in between, and many of the things that I wanted to do were not completed.
Who would have thought that Xie Xianling would fall into the water in the evening, I don't know if he was frightened, and whether he could preside over the exam tomorrow!
Someone worries about these problems, Xia Yuanding went back to the guest room by himself, grandpa seems to be very fond of "Yongshu", he has memorized this book very well, there is nothing to worry about, but his heart calmed down before the exam, thinking that he could sleep peacefully.
Unfortunately, it rained at night, sparsely, although the rain stopped after a while, but I don't know how much the temperature will drop, Xia Yuanding was not disturbed by the rain, and still slept sweetly.
The total number of county exams is four or five, which is decided by the county master, one test is one day, there will be a gap between each exam, not five consecutive days, and the list will be released once after the test.
The examination room of Sanhe County is located in the south of the city, and the examination booth of the children's examination is relatively simple, and the examination shed is generally equipped with a public hall, and the examination case is set up on both sides of the bluestone road outside the public hall.
Although it is simple, but here is also quaint, regular, the examination room buildings are all single-storey, the south gate house and the north side of the public hall stand opposite, between them are two rows of houses facing each other in the east and west, and there is a thatched house in the south section of the number house.
The gatehouse and the number house are not next to each other, there is a courtyard in the middle, and there is a stone gatehouse at the south end of the road. The examination hall has been closed for several days as usual, and is quietly waiting for the candidates to enter.
When the stars were still in the night sky, Xia Yuanding was shouted, and his cousin Xia Yuanjie had the same fate as him, because he was going to enter by name before dawn, so he had to get up in advance to prepare.
Accustomed to sitting in an ox cart, Xia Yuanding got into the Wang family's carriage for the first time and rushed to the examination room with his grandfather and Yuan Jie. They carried no more, no less, only a basket containing pen, ink, food, etc.
"The first test of this county exam is quite simple, you only need to pass the first test to get the qualification to participate in the government exam, but you still have to try your best to pass the first test, so as to save the trouble of taking the test again, and concentrate on the last test!"
Now Xia Yuanding has no intention of listening to this, to be honest, he is really a little sleepy when he gets up too early, and he can't afford to listen to these words of encouragement, but fortunately, Cousin Yuanjie is obedient and seems to wake up faster.
The carriage was bumpy all the way, Xia Yuanding felt that he was awakened, the carriage stopped, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw that many people had arrived, and there were quite a few, all of whom were students who came to take the exam.
The main door is a five-bay three-door door, and the middle of the gatehouse is separated and becomes a front and rear porch. Xia Yuanding and Xia Yuanjie were named in turn, and then they were searched, and they could only enter the venue after being protected by Yusheng.
Xia Yuanding took the test paper, and sat down according to the seat number printed on the paper, after all the candidates entered, the door of the examination shed would be closed, and the county order would hit the cloud board in the public hall, and the entire examination room suddenly became silent.
Xia Yuanding only knew that he was Yunzi No. 3, and in this narrow examination room, he didn't feel crowded, and the inside was simple enough, with long tables, benches, and table cases.
There are a number of examination rooms in the examination room, named after a certain word, and there are several examination rooms in each examination room, which are numbered in order.
Xia Yuanding did not dare to look around, because he had been warned that he would be investigated if he found any disciplinary violations, and there were soldiers walking back and forth on the road at any time, closely monitoring these candidates.
The exam starts with the cloud board as a signal, and when the cloud board is hit again, the test is over.
Don't dare to delay, gather your mind, write personal information, or answer carefully!
Xia Yuanding is very sure of the scriptures, as long as he is proficient in memorizing the scriptures and understanding them thoroughly, it is not difficult, and this is precisely his strength.
In the first main exam, the content of the exam is: two scriptures and righteousness, and two poems with five words and six rhymes.
In the second preliminary review, the content of the exam is: two ways of scripture and righteousness, and one question.
In the third session, the content of the exam is: essays, essays, judgments, edicts, tables, edicts, etc.
The fourth and fifth sessions are repeated, and the content of the exam: economic history, current affairs, current affairs, current literature, poetry, etc., is relatively broad in format and less restrictive.
Looking at the content, Xia Yuan Ding was happy, how these two scriptures are the content of "Yongshu", they are all talked about by grandpa more or less, and it is easier now.
At that time, Xia Yuanding heard that there were three drums outside, and knew that this was the time to be active, and at this time the candidates were allowed to drink tea and go to the thatched house once, and Xia Yuanding went to the thatched house as usual.
After coming back, he began to think about these five-word and six-rhyme poems, even if he had 10,000 famous poems in his chest that could be passed down through the ages, he had to kneel down here, and he didn't need it!
People have requirements, Xia Yuanding has to do it, fortunately, the topics ordered by Xie County are not deliberately difficult, they are all relatively simple, and Xia Yuanding can still deal with them.
After making a good poem, Xia Yuanding felt that it was decent, and he felt that he should be able to pass, so he put his mind at ease.
When I heard the drumming again, it was already afternoon time, and it was not far from the time to hit the cloud board again.
After that, he waited quietly, Xia Yuanding was very patient, and after checking again, he finally handed over the test paper to the examinee unhurriedly, received the exit card, and returned it to the errand officer when he went out, and then he was released out of the examination room.
After coming out, Xia Yuanding knew that Yuan Jie hadn't come out yet, and thought in his heart, these should not be difficult for him, not to mention that grandpa has worked so hard, there is no reason why he can't answer!
"Grandpa, Yuan Ding, you're all waiting!" Hearing this call, Xia Yuanding knew that this cousin was in a good mood, although he deliberately suppressed it, he could hear the excitement in his tone, and he expected that there should be no big problem in the exam.
"Yuan Jie is also out, the weather is a little cold, let's go back first, let's go back later!" As he spoke, he urged the people to hurry away.
When he first came out, Xia Jizu whispered to ask Xia Yuanding how the situation was, Xia Yuanding just nodded and said that there was no problem, Xia Jizu was happy and knew that it was inconvenient to ask here, so he had been enduring it in his heart.
Xia Jizu said that this is not difficult to try, but it is really not nonsense, the pass rate is still quite high, but the next few games will definitely not be so easy, and if you really have no ability, you will definitely be brushed down.
How far you can go depends on how well you have mastered your knowledge, after all, not every time you can speculate and cancel.
Regarding the details of the exam, Xia Jizu also wanted to thoroughly understand that the county master in his thirties still appeared in the examination room, and it seemed that he was not affected by yesterday's events.
After this exam, the results will be announced immediately after the exam, and we will see who can take the next exam.
The first test is mainly to screen out the qualifications to participate in the government examination, and the selection criteria are not based on a certain level of level, but on the number of top students. According to the law of the imperial court, the number of jinshi who can be admitted in each place is fixed, and where the literary style is prosperous, the competitive pressure of students is relatively large.
Xia Jizu had said before that the literary style of Sanhe County was not prosperous, which also reduced the difficulty of Xia Yuanding being admitted. It's hard to imagine that backwardness has somehow become an advantage!
