Chapter 43 The green dragon comes out of the water and stabs the pine
Two hours later, Xu Mingyuan finished writing the last word, gently rested the brush in his hand on the inkstone, blew the ink on the paper, and took a long breath, Jingyi was finally finished.
Li Chuanxian, who was sitting in front of Xu Mingyuan, bowed his head slightly, although he didn't know what Xu Mingyuan wrote, but he already believed in his heart that Xu Mingyuan would definitely be on the list, but it was not easy to determine what his ranking on the list would be.
Xu Mingyuan waited for the ink on the last piece of paper to dry, and then folded all the test papers neatly together in order and put them aside.
Now that everything has been done, Xu Mingyuan also looked left and right, most of the beings are still writing scriptures, and some are even writing scriptures.
The time for a hospital test was four and a half hours, and Xu Mingyuan finished it an hour and a half ahead of schedule, which was indeed faster. However, after doing it, it is not allowed to leave the venue in advance, so Xu Mingyuan still has to continue to sit in the examination hall and wait until the bell rings for the final exam before leaving.
Xu Mingyuan also knew the rules, so after packing up the test papers, he began to lightly sort out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones he brought, packed them all into the bamboo box, and then took out the other two cakes and continued to eat them. This exam is brain-consuming and laborious, and the physical exertion is not small, and after two hours, Xu Mingyuan was hungry again.
The students around them, seeing that Xu Mingyuan had received pen and ink, thought that Xu Mingyuan had given up and stopped doing it, so they all shook their heads and continued to write their own scriptures. After all, there is still more than an hour, and where can ordinary students do it so quickly?
Qian Qingfu, who has been eating since the beginning, is holding a pen and drawing his name, and the ghost-like handwriting is like an earthworm crawling on the paper, and I don't know if the person who transcribed it will recognize his name at that time. He had been staring at Xu Mingyuan, and finally saw Xu Mingyuan put down the pen in his hand and began to eat baked cakes, and he gritted his teeth and sneered in a voice that only he could hear: "Has this stinky Taoist finally given up, I don't know what to do, Brother Li will make you look good sooner or later." ”
Xu Mingyuan ate the other two cakes, felt a little full, and after packing up his things, he went straight to the table and began to sleep. An hour and a half is a long time, and it's too tiring to sit upright, but it's done anyway, so it's better to sleep for a while.
After Xu Mingyuan lay down, all the beings looked at him with disdain. The college exam is not something that can be participated in if you want to, Xu Mingyuan actually slept here, which simply disappointed the high expectations of the dean. All living beings also take Xu Mingyuan, a broken jar, as a warning, reflect on themselves, and become more and more serious about writing scriptures.
……
An hour and a half later, a bell rang, and all the beings put down the pen in their hands, and some of them had not finished writing, and if they wanted to continue to write, some of the little officials stepped forward and took away the pen in their hands.
Xu Mingyuan also raised his head from the table slowly, his hands rose, and he stretched out a comfortable waist, this sleep was really comfortable.
"All the students stop writing, sit quietly, and wait for the test papers to be collected before they can leave." Li Chuan got up first and said loudly.
When all the beings heard this, they all sat and did not speak, and those who did not finish writing did not dare to continue to write, otherwise they might be directly disqualified, which would not be cost-effective.
The two little officials standing at the end began to collect the test papers according to the seat number, and when they were all collected, they stood in front of Li Chuanxian with both hands.
Li Chuan counted the test papers first, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he nodded and said, "Okay, all beings can disperse." ”
All the beings got up and saluted Li Chuan first.
Li Chuan nodded first, and led the two officials to walk out, it should be to collect all the test papers together, and then transcribe the names by someone.
Zhusheng waited until Li Chuan went out first before he began to sort out things such as pen and ink, and some acquaintances also began to talk about today's test questions, some of whom answered incorrectly beat their chests, and some of whom answered correctly were ecstatic.
Xu Mingyuan didn't know anyone present, and the things were sorted out before, so he directly put on the bamboo box on his back and walked towards the outside of the examination hall.
After Xu Mingyuan walked out, someone behind him pointed to his back and whispered, mostly disdainful.
"It's a fool's dream to think that you can pass the hospital exam if you do it randomly."
"Sleeping in the examination hall must be named Sun Shan, so it's better not to come."
"The toad wants to eat swan meat, and with such strength, he still wants to get close to Senior Sister Zeng."
There is no shortage of people in this world who talk behind their backs, most of them are not good at others, or they are inferior in their hearts. Xu Mingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to such a person at all, and he couldn't even think of refuting it.
After leaving the examination hall, not far away, he saw Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou standing in the corridor, and Xu Mingyuan also walked forward quickly with a smile.
The three of them walked out of the academy in parallel, Xu Mingyuan said hello to Guo Dongcheng, and said that after the exam tomorrow, he would go to him to drink a cup and ask Aunt Liu to cook him a few good dishes.
Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao also came forward to say hello to them, but because there was still an exam tomorrow, the two of them also had to go back to prepare first, so they left first.
The sun was already setting in the west, Xu Mingyuan, Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie casually found a restaurant, ate a delicious meal, drank some wine, and then went back.
The three of them were together, but they didn't mention the content of today's college exam.
Zhou Binjie doesn't read much on weekdays, and he didn't write a few of them in this college exam, so he didn't want to talk about it at all. In his eyes, Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou are definitely on the list, so what else is there to talk about.
As for Bai Molou's character, if Xu Mingyuan didn't speak first, he wouldn't mention this stubble at all. Xu Mingyuan is also too lazy to talk about this kind of problem, since he has already taken the exam, it is good to wait for the release of the list, is it difficult to know that he can change it if he knows right and wrong, but it is just to add to his own blockage.
Back on the mountain, Xu Mingyuan gave the master a roast chicken and a packet of sauced beef, as well as wine in a water bladder, and went straight back to his room.
After today's exam, Xu Mingyuan still has some confidence, and his efforts during this period have not been in vain. As long as tomorrow's strategy and poetry are not wrong, it should not be a problem to be on the list.
Xu Mingyuan took out a rather thick copy of "Cutting Rhyme" from the side of the bed, lit up the oil lamp slightly, and read it seriously.
Imperial examination poems usually require the arrangement of five words and twelve sentences, in order to be objective and fair, so the use of rhyme is extremely harsh, once the rhyme is violated, one vote veto, it can be seen that the importance of rhyme.
"Cut Rhyme" is said to be a rhyme book written by Lu Fayan, a master of rhyme in the previous dynasty, and its reputation was not obvious in the previous dynasty, but after the establishment of Dawan, it gradually became an official rhyme, and the poems of the imperial examination must also conform to its rhyme.
Slowly flipping through the heavy "Cut Rhyme", although he has long memorized it, but because he didn't write much poetry before, it is unrealistic for Xu Mingyuan to say anything like a poem in seven steps.
However, after so many years of the imperial examination, people with a heart have also sorted out some routines for the questions of the imperial examination poems, such as those from the classics and history books, about the festivals, about the scenery, and with literary themes as the themes.
In the past month, Xu Mingyuan has also tried to make some poems, if he can guess it tomorrow, it will be the best, if he can't guess it, then he can only do it himself.
After flipping through "Cutting Rhyme", Xu Mingyuan went to bed, and he still had to be moderate temporarily, otherwise it would be too much.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Mingyuan first practiced the sword on the stone flat in front of the view, and in the past month, he spent most of his time on that sword and asking the sky.
Xu Mingyuan, who was standing at the door of the main hall, turned around and shook his sword, and the cyan long sword flew out, like a green dragon out of the water, and faintly let out a sword roar, obviously flying to the side, but in the middle of a strange turn, it stabbed straight on the pine that was cut by thunder. The tip of the long sword sank half a foot into Cangsong, and the hilt of the sword was still trembling rapidly, which showed the great power of this sword.
Xu Mingyuan's face was overjoyed, and he pulled out the long sword that had entered the tree with all his might, looking at his right hand, his fingers trembled slightly, as if he was experiencing this sword.
"Yo, it's rare that you don't have to go down to find a sword." Qing Xuan, who was sitting on the threshold at some point, poured wine into his mouth with a water bladder in one hand, and scratched his armpits with the other.
"That's nature, who am I, if I get serious, I can learn anything." Xu Mingyuan put the long sword into the scabbard and replied with a smug smile.
Qing Xuan shook his head with a smile and didn't answer, shook the water bladder in his hand vigorously, poured the last two drops of wine into his mouth, and then threw it to Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand to catch the water bladder, entered the Taoist temple, washed it carefully, changed into a clean cyan robe, filled it with a water bladder, and carried the bamboo box down the mountain.
Although he attracted so much attention and criticism because of the donkey cart yesterday, Xu Mingyuan still took the donkey cart to the academy today, not because he was willful, but because he agreed with Uncle Guo yesterday to go to him for a drink, for fear that he would not be able to come back if he was drunk.
Uncle Guo's amount of alcohol is not comparable to Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie, if he lets go of drinking, Xu Mingyuan will have to admit that he is not an opponent. And with Lao Huang, then don't worry, I'll pull him back anyway.
After entering Shuzhou City, eating a bowl of noodles, and buying two baked cakes, Xu Mingyuan also took a donkey cart and went straight to the academy. He didn't know if Uncle Guo was leading the team today, if he did, he would definitely bring him food, but if he didn't, he would be hungry if he didn't.
With the lessons of yesterday, Xu Mingyuan did not take the donkey cart directly to the gate of the academy, but parked the donkey cart under the shade of the tree on the side of the road a little earlier.
"Lao Huang, you just stay here." Xu Ming got out of the car and gently stroked Lao Huang's head, took out the water bladder, opened it and poured it into his hand, and let it drink some water.
After drinking the water, Lao Huang stretched out his tongue and licked the back of Xu Mingyuan's hand, raised his head and called twice.
Xu Mingyuan smiled, picked up the bamboo box, and walked towards the gate of the academy.
