Zheng Guang also heard Tang Shunzhi mention, the number house in the tribute courtyard is divided into four levels, the difference between each level is like a world of difference, lucky to occupy the first level, should go to the temple to make a vow after the test, thank the gods and Buddhas for the blessing, and was assigned to the last level, you can leave on the spot, or after the exam, bring a group of people to destroy the nearest temple or Taoist temple from home, in order to vent the hatred in your heart.

The first level, that is, the so-called old number, is the first building of this dynasty, more spacious, brighter, very good lighting, the structure is more solid and reasonable, because it is very close to the Mingyuan Building, if there is any damage, it is easy to be found by the examiners, so the repair is also the most timely, it is the dream of all examination students.

The second level is the later expansion number, because it is far away from the Mingyuan Building, not in the line of sight of the examiner, plus the mutual protection of those officials who embezzle the funds for repairing the building, so these buildings are built short and dilapidated, standing up straight, lying on the feet are exposed, it is difficult to even turn around, students who have taken the exam in this kind of house, every time they think about it, they will stiffen together from the mind to the body for a long time.

But relative to the third and fourth grades, the first two grades are comparable to heaven, the candidates who are assigned to the second level are at most unhappy, ready to suffer for a few days, and the candidates who are assigned to the third level of "rain house" are tragic, the so-called rain house, that is, it is heavy rain outside, light rain inside, the top of the house is dilapidated test house, once there is a wind and rain or something, the test paper is extremely easy to damage, and the requirements of the township test are that the paper must be neat and tidy, and there must be no damage in the slightest, otherwise, it must not be taken.

Before Zheng Guang came, Tang Shunzhi passed to Zheng Guang the self-prepared number he had prepared to use in the past, saying that he had prepared it back then but fortunately didn't use it, and now it was passed to Zheng Guang, I hope Zheng Guang can't use it, this is a beautiful vision.

Although it is a rain house, it must be difficult to endure when it is windy and rainy, but it is equipped with a number top, and then a few umbrellas to protect it, and it is okay, besides, in case of no rain and no wind in the weather, luck is OK, not even the exam can not be examined, compared to the fourth level of candidates, it is already considered happy, what is the fourth level?

Stinky horn.

The stench of ghosts and gods that shook the world, the last thing that the ancients could not let today's people accept was public health awareness, there was no public health awareness at all, and there was actually a candidate's house built next to the toilet! You know, in August, it's already quite hot, thousands of people are eating and drinking Lazar in the Gongyuan, this Lasa must be in the toilet, even if there are several toilets, it is hundreds of people, that smell! Damn!

You built the house in that place, did you let people take the exam? I didn't know and thought it was a place to practice turtle breath gong! If you stay less than a morning, you will probably faint! Therefore, generally the candidates who are assigned to the stinky number will very consciously give up the qualification for the exam and take the exam again after three years, not wanting to put their lives into it for an exam.

Zheng Guang prayed silently, looked at the list, and finally saw "Hongzi No. 8 Department of Suzhou Candidate Zheng Guang House", Zheng Guang calculated, the heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate, ah~

Relaxed, relaxed, good character is invincible, assigned to the old number, hahaha, luck is really good, this time, the days are a little better, Zheng Guang carried the test basket and box, and walked to his own house, outside the Hongzi No. 8 house, Zheng Guang looked at it, and was quite satisfied with the length, width and height inside, at least the person can stand up straight, the seat inside is also relatively spacious, and it is not very difficult to lie down, but it has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is dirty, Zheng Guang put down the test basket and test box, ready to clean.

There is a broom at the door, and a few jars of water, on the one hand, for the candidates to drink, on the other hand, it is also for the candidates to clean their own houses, because there are too many houses, it will be a lot of money if the official is responsible for cleaning, why not use it if there is free student labor? This universal truth naturally created this batch of dusty houses, and in desperation, Zheng Guang picked up the broom and began to clean.

For many rich children, this is one of the few opportunities in their lives to clean up by themselves, because basically they don't do anything except study, and they can't clean except when they become officials, except for being forced to clean during exams, and they really can't find the opportunity to clean up themselves.

Use a broom to get rid of the cobwebs first, then sweep the dust, and finally wash it with water, and then wipe it with a rag, and you can almost sit on it, but for this kind of cleaning, obviously there are still many people who can't, quite clumsily waving the broom, I don't know what god is dancing, Zheng Guang also heard a scream - "Ah! Spiders have run into my clothes! Help me! ”

Are you here for the test or are you here to be funny? Zheng Guang really wanted to ask that brother Ren, to what extent was the lack of diligent and indistinguishable ......

After a series of farces, Zheng Guang finished cleaning his house, looking at the neater house, Zheng Guang was quite satisfied, at this time it was close to evening, the sun had slowly moved to the west, there were more and more people, everyone was cleaning their house, and from time to time there would be screams such as "spiders" and the like, but there were no well-wishers to help.

Zheng Guang opened his test box, took out the futon prepared by his grandmother, and put it under his buttocks, the position similar to the kang is very hard, and it will be very uncomfortable to sit on the butt for a long time, so he needs to have a soft thing to cushion, and it is more comfortable to sit, and he spreads it out when he sleeps at night, and he sleeps directly.

Then there is a series of things for cooking, although there will be times when the supervision is not very strict, there are small officials or soldiers watching the field will buy meals for the candidates, the price is more expensive, but more often the supervision is very strict, and the candidates are completely required to be self-sufficient, but how can those candidates who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains cook and eat by themselves? So it still has to rely on the steamed buns and pickles you bring with you to solve the problem.

Zheng Guang is definitely not a person who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, he is a cooking lover when he is at home, in the years of the Great Song Dynasty, when the march needs a picnic, the big pot of rice made by Zheng Guang is often eaten by the big guys, and the craftsmanship is quite good, grandma and aunts prepared a delicate small pot for Zheng Guang, a small stove, light up the charcoal without the slightest smoke and fire, you can heat the pot, wash some rice, and prepare to cook some rice to eat.

Today is not counted as the day of the exam, you can eat richer, nourish your spirit, after you are ready, Zheng Guang began to cook white rice, instead of porridge, compared to porridge, Zheng Guang prefers to eat rice, although the dish is not easy to get, but put in some bacon and other cured meat that has been cut into small pieces, cook it with rice, after cooking, the delicious cured meat will seep into the rice, and it can become delicious without vegetables.

While cooking rice, Zheng Guang opened the exam papers in the exam paper bag and began to check the most important four books, five classics and seven questions, the so-called "imperial examination heavy scriptures, scriptures and righteousness heavy four books", the most important first exam, three questions and four books are the most important, compared to three books, four books and eight strands, the remaining four five classics questions are a little less important, and the subsequent policy or something is even less important.

In fact, this is also the case, if the three eight-strand essays are done beautifully, then the examiner will not care too much about the four and five classic questions, as long as the literature and science are smooth, and as long as the first seven questions are done well, the examiner does not care too much about the later questions, there are no typos, the text is smooth, and it is not important.

Therefore, the real core of this township test lies in the three questions and four books, and the eight-strand essay that cannot exceed 1,500 words is fully counted.

Compared with the casual children's test, it is much more formal, and the questions are not allowed to come out of the bizarre truncation questions, only the big questions are allowed, that is, the complete questions, the candidates are required to explain the complete views, the three big questions are very complete, Zheng Guang looked at it slightly, and started a draft in his mind, these three big questions are not difficult, Tang Shunzhi has produced a lot of similar questions for Zheng Guang to do, quoting the practice at the time, these three big questions are just a little cumbersome, not difficult.

And Zheng Guang felt that Baguwen was not very difficult, because Baguwen was not allowed to have his own ideas, and he could only use the ideas of the ancients to make articles, which invisibly reduced the pressure on the candidates, anyway, the ideas were all from the ancients, we don't produce thoughts, we are just porters of the ancients, so when I think about it, I feel a lot more relaxed in an instant.

The delicious cured rice is already exuding an attractive aroma, many candidates frequently look at Zheng Guang's house, only to see a candidate with outstanding temperament dressed in white, sitting in the house, holding a roll of paper to seriously examine the question, as if thinking about something, there is a small pot on the board in front of him, which is steaming, exuding an attractive fragrance, the white-clothed candidate put down the roll paper, lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly, a stronger aroma spread around.

Zheng Guang didn't notice those eyes at all, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw that the rice was almost cooked, so he put the lid on the pot and let it simmer for a while, then extinguished the charcoal fire, took down the small pot and put it away, and continued to read the question.

The rest of the candidates saw the actions of this candidate, and couldn't help but admire a little, they could master a certain self-care ability in the process of reading, which was the biggest assistant in the exam, and they began to regret why they didn't learn a little when they should learn housework, so that they could also cook some hot things to eat, instead of gnawing dry steamed buns and eating salty pickles.

After reading the question, Zheng Guang had confidence in his heart, and felt that it was not difficult to pass the test this time, so he put away the rolling paper again, lifted the lid of the pot, and began to eat, the quality of this rice is very good, and the cured meat is also the best cured meat, the delicious gravy is immersed in the rice, and the water infiltrates into the inside of the rice, so that every grain of rice has the taste of cured meat.

The candidates who were gnawing on the steamed bread next to them watched Zheng Guang eat rice with envy, and they were about to cry, and the soldiers who were watching on the side had been looking at the big-hearted candidate with a look of admiration.

After eating the last grain of rice, Zheng Guang stood up and moved a little, went to wash the pot, put it aside and waited for it to be used again tomorrow morning, look at the sky, the sun has set, only the last ray of light is still in the sky, and the night will soon fall, but the Gongyuan only gives each candidate three candles, which are used early, and then there will be no more when there is a need, Zheng Guang feels that he has almost prepared everything that should be prepared, and the questions have been read, so he can sleep and wait for the official start of the exam tomorrow morning.

So Zheng Guang spread out the cover, the lower layer was placed on the kang, the upper layer was covered on the body, the small pillow was placed on it, the shoes were taken off, the coat was taken off, and many people were stunned and fell asleep. actually slept so sweetly in the tribute courtyard, if such a person is not promoted, it is really unreasonable.
