Uneducated people like to be troublesome, and educated people like to talk a lot, and it has always been so.

In the past few days that Zhou Yi has not gone out, he has no idea that he has countless wonderful identities and wonderful stories, he is preparing for the exam with peace of mind, and his life is peaceful and peaceful.

Zhang Zhong is the same, under the influence of Zhou Yi, he also honestly read the book for a few days, and finally, the day of the exam has arrived.

Somehow on this day, the weather suddenly became much colder than usual, and when he got up in the morning, it was gloomy, and the autumn wind was blowing, Zhou Yi couldn't help but wrap his body tightly with a quilt, but this was not the way after all, after all, it was an exam, and he shivered up to pack his things. After a while, Zhang Zhong also came, wearing a lot of clothes, and his whole body was swollen like a ball, Zhou Yi saw it and asked, "Can you still hold a pen when you wear so much?" ”

"No, but isn't it impossible? It's hard to wear less, this exam can't be over in a while, what if you freeze out? Zhang Zhong asked.

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go buy clothes, hurry up, buy a thick cotton jacket." ”

Zhang Zhong said with some hesitation: "Is this too late?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, it's really too late to talk nonsense." Zhou Yi urged.

So the two of them went out all the way with the things they needed for the exam, and this time they didn't bring a little maid when they went out, one is that Zhou Yi is not used to the days when there are people serving everywhere, and the other is that Zhou Yi's family itself does not serve the little maids who live in daily life.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, I am afraid they are all troubled by this weather, the two of them arrived at the market, chose the clothes as quickly as possible, put them on their bodies, and suddenly felt much warmer. Walking on the street, when the wind blows, although the body is not cold, the head is a little cold. At this time, everyone wears a kind of square barrel-shaped hat, called the Dongpo scarf, which is the standard configuration of readers, there are thin, made of gauze, you can wear it when it is hot, and it is breathable. There are also those worn when it is particularly cold in winter, and they are stuffed with cotton.

"We've got to go buy a hat." Zhou Yi said.

So the two of them hurriedly went to buy hats, but after shopping for a long time, they didn't find it, which made both of them very frustrated, thinking that the exam was about to start, so they had to give up and go to the examination room against the wind.

But even so, when the two of them rushed to the examination room, the sound of gongs and drums had already sounded, similar to the sealing bell of the college entrance examination for future generations.

The door was slowly closed, and seeing that the result had already been out before such a long wait began, the two of them were naturally unwilling, and desperately sped up their speed, Zhou Yi shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, there are still people." ”

When the man in charge of guarding the entry and exit saw it, he immediately shouted loudly: "You two hurry up, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter." ”

Zhou Yi and the two entered the gate out of breath, and a eunuch sat at the door, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" to study.

Eunuchs belong to the group of people who have the most contact with the emperor, and naturally get the trust of the emperor, so after reaching the level of the state examination, they will send eunuchs to various places to supervise and inspect, they want to say that the power is not big, and there is no opportunity to point fingers at the exam, but if there is a fraud incident, they will be responsible for writing the story to the emperor who is far away in the capital.

Zhou Yi and the others didn't take him to heart, but when the two entered the door, the eunuch glanced at the two of them and said, "Wait for the two of you, wearing winter clothes and summer hats, it's really a spring and autumn." ”

Zhang Zhong didn't hear it, or he heard it, and he didn't care, but this time Zhou Yi suddenly stopped and said: "You are the only one, born in the north and coming to the south, you can be described as a bastard." ”

The eunuch stood up all of a sudden, and was about to reprimand him, but a man in an official uniform came out and said to Zhou Yi and the two, "Don't hurry up and go in." "This person is the chief examiner of this exam, surnamed Peng, named Gang, and the word stops water.

Zhou Yi and Zhang Zhong left in a hurry, and the eunuch couldn't continue, so he sat sulking, thinking to himself that when he had the opportunity to meet this kid in the future, he would have to give him some color.

After entering the examination room, the two went to their seats, remembering that they were a little short just now, Zhou Yi secretly rejoiced and said: "Fortunately, I finally caught up, otherwise I don't know how to explain when I go home." ”

I found my place and sat down, and after a while, someone came over and handed out the test paper, the so-called test paper, which was just a blank piece of paper. The title will be announced later.

Regarding the imperial examination in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is said that after Wang Anshi was appointed as the governor, he began to reform the content of the imperial examination, abolishing the poems, scriptures, and Moyi, and focusing on the scriptures, theories, and strategies.

The so-called meaning of the scriptures, similar to the treatises, is a short essay, which is limited to using the sentences in the scriptures as the title and using the meanings of the scriptures to play.

It is stipulated that there are four Jinshi examinations: one for the Great Classics, two for the Classics, three for the Theory, and the last for the Strategy. The palace examination is only a test of strategies, and it is limited to more than 1,000 words.

After a while, someone immediately came over with a sign and the sound of gongs and drums, which was to announce the topic, Zhou Yi looked up, and it read, "The dragon is ten times, and the big gluten is the inheritance." Banggi is thousands of miles, the people of Weimin stop, and the territory is all over the world. ”

This is a sentence from "The Book of Songs: Xuanniao". "Xuanniao" is one of the "Shang Song", which is a musical song sung by the king of the Song Dynasty when he sacrificed to Yin Gaozong Wuding, praising the achievements of Wuding Zhongxing.

It can be seen from the source that the original intention of this title is to sing praises for the imperial court, there is no doubt about it.

Zhou Yi is the best at singing praises of virtue, and he has been doing this since he learned to write essays in his previous life, and this skill has become instinctive when he starts a business in the future.

But this opening stumped him, if you let him speak, the words of sycophancy popped out of his mouth one after another, and he could guarantee that he would not be the same for three days and three nights, but to write it, and it must be in the Chinese language, isn't this deliberately embarrassing? Zhou Yi had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he didn't know if it would be okay to write vernacular directly?

After thinking about it, forget it, it's not good to do too many unconventional things.

was thinking about it, but saw a person opposite, and suddenly lifted his hat up, revealing the dense black small characters on the top of his head, Zhou Yi was suddenly surprised, this cheating method is too high-end.

I saw that this man took out a bronze mirror from the cloth bag behind him, lifted it, and the words on the top of his head were printed on it, and the man was very satisfied with this effect, and quickly sharpened the ink, ready to start writing.

Suddenly, Zhou Yi saw a figure approaching quickly, and went towards the cheater, and wanted to remind him, but later he was afraid of getting into trouble, after all, the two were separated by a few feet, and if they shouted, they would definitely be discovered by the invigilator.

The person who came was the examiner who had just let Zhou Yi and the two of them in, and this was his first routine inspection.

Suddenly, he saw the candidate's brain full of words, and immediately became angry, and went forward quietly, and then spit on his hands, wiping the top of the candidate's head into a black mess.

He is still kind, and he didn't directly count this candidate as cheating, after all, ten years of hard study, it is not easy for everyone, and if he hasn't started copying yet, he is ready to let him go.

In fact, if you want to say it, this candidate got carried away, and he actually forgot to put on his hat first when he was studying ink, and now he has been arrested directly, which can be regarded as "dying before leaving the school".

This sudden incident made the people around who wanted to cheat honest for a while, but as time passed, there were always some people who couldn't hold back, and soon after, Zhou Yi saw that some wrote words on their stomachs, and some on their thighs, but they were all very excited, and they covered up well as soon as someone came over, and they did not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Zhou Yi still didn't write a word, to be honest, he had only read the Book of Songs, and the meaning of each sentence could be understood, if he was allowed to rely on these things to diverge his thinking, it would be too difficult for him.

By chance, he found a person, sneaked out a small bag from nowhere, and then poured a handful of rice on the table, and then, he took out the folding fan he carried with him, Zhou Yi found that there was a circular hole in the spine of the fan, and with the shaking, there was a colored light, and Zhou Yi immediately thought of the glass. But there is no doubt that there is no history book that says that glass appeared in the Song Dynasty.

This person through the hole, all the grains of rice are arranged neatly, Zhou Yi finally understood, this is actually a miniature carving, the article is carved on the rice grain, you can see it clearly with a magnifying glass, if the examiner who does not know the inside comes, looking at the rice grain or the rice grain, the words are invisible.

It took a lot of effort for this young man to finally arrange these dozens of grains of rice, and Zhou Yi looked at it and sweated for him. With a confident smile on his face, Zhou Yi guessed that this person spent a lot of money to get the topic, and then asked people to write an article, and then carved it on the rice grains, which was not a small effort.

Just as he was about to write, the young man suddenly felt an itch in his nose, and he couldn't help but sneeze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that none of the rice grains on the table were gone.

So Zhou Yi couldn't help but lie on the table and snickered, but this young man wanted to cry without tears.
