Xu Yuanzuo was still a little apprehensive, so he comforted himself by eating snacks. Later, I found out that people were willing to pay to come in, just to pick a seat.

As for those candidates who have not paid for it, they can only gather in the square outside the test center and wait for the roll call to enter.

At the time of admission, the scribe took the roll call and took the answer sheet handed out, and entered in turn. After entering the venue, they can find their own seats according to the seat number on the answer sheet.

It wasn't until the sky was blue and the candidates had finished entering that I saw that my mentor Zheng Yue was wearing a blue flower uniform, and black official boots on a white background.

Xu Yuanzuo has seen Zheng Yue wearing a Yanju robe, and he has also seen him wearing a regular uniform with flying birds, and it is the first time he has seen him come out in a public uniform, which shows that the exam is indeed a major event. It's just that this official uniform and the spread of his feet are added, but he doesn't look like the Ming official in his impression, but like a Song Dynasty official.

Zheng Yue scanned the field, and sure enough, he found Xu Yuanzuo, glanced at him as if encouraging, and immediately started to lecture on the study order, encouraging the candidates present to answer the questionnaire well, and taking a solid first step for the long journey of changing the lintel of the glorious lintel in the future!

After Zheng Yue finished speaking, the sky was already bright and ready for the exam.

I saw Zheng Yue sitting in the hall and announcing the start of the exam.

After the drum sounded in the trio, there were messengers patrolling the corridor, loudly reminding the candidates that the exam questions were "hidden" behind the answer sheets, and those old people who had been entering for many years already knew about it.

Both the county examination and the prefectural examination are pre-examinations for the hospital examination, and the questions are flexible and convenient. Today is the main venue of the county test, and it is generally two questions in four books, but it is also possible to only produce one four-book question and one scripture question. After Jiajing, the exam became more and more flexible, and there were even examiners who took out the "test post poems" that were abandoned in the pre-Song Dynasty, which was also a spectacle.

Xu Yuanzuo, the junior brother, had already discovered the difference, and only then did he know that what was said in the novel and posted on the title plate was not true. He looked at the title. See the previous "Four Books" title is: Zi makes lacquer carving.

Word for word.

Sure enough, I worshipped a good teacher!

Xu Yuanzuo didn't pick up the pen, and then looked at the scripture question at the back, but it was "big is like might, small is ashamed" that has never been prompted before.

――It looks like a sentence from the Book of Rites, but I don't understand what it means!

Xu Yuanzuo secretly trembled in his heart, and comforted himself: It is said that the four books are higher than the scriptures. Maybe you just need to read a "Four Books" question.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound gradually spreading in the examination room, like someone stabbing a honeycomb, and like hundreds of people in the library lowering their voices and talking to each other.

There were many people like Xu Yuanzuo who were shocked, and they raised their heads one after another, and the discipline in the examination room was a little shaky for a while.

"Silence! Quiet! The scribes and officials shouted.

"Old parents Rong Bing!" Someone ran out of the examination booth with a crying voice and knelt on the middle corridor: "The student's scripture is "Spring and Autumn", but how can the exam question only have one sentence in "Confucianism"? ”

Xu Yuanzuo could see this person just by tilting his head from his seat. He looked like he was thirty years old. I want to pull out all the beards so that I can look tender. Maybe this trick is really useful for the ancients who are used to seeing full beards, but it is useless for Xu Yuanzuo.

He suddenly had a small mistake in his mind: there is no auspicious Philip in this era, and he really pulls off his beard one by one, and this person really has great perseverance!

Someone started up, and the field suddenly became chaotic. The candidates for the county examination were already able to enter, except that the candidates in the examination room could not talk to each other, and the students on the loose seats in the examination booth whispered one after another.

Xu Yuanzuo's ears pricked up. But I heard someone say:

"It turned out to be a sentence in "Confucianism", I said why haven't I seen ......"

"Is there a Confucian practice in the Five Classics?"

"It's the Book of Rites, right?"

……

It's just that you don't read this Nima book. Don't even the table of contents be easy to read!

Although Xu Yuanzuo himself is also a person who has only flipped through the "Book of Songs" and has not read the other four classics, with the foundation of later generations, he finally knows the source of this question, and he is really proud for a while. But on second thought, these people have read ten years of books, but are they really only reading four books and the scriptures? Then the progress and quality of this teaching are too worrying!

"Silence!" The officer hurriedly stepped forward and forked the candidate. and other counties are honored.

Syllable!

There was a knock on the hall, and the entire examination room suddenly fell silent.

Zheng Yue looked around the examination room, and his official authority was like a prison.

Seeing that the examination room was quiet, he paced out and said loudly: "This official sees that the morale is impetuous. Most scholars don't choose "Spring and Autumn", and they are tired of its strictness; Don't choose "The Book of Rites", I think it's cumbersome. Therefore, "Confucianism" is specially taken to teach you and so on! If you can do it, you can do it, and you will be ranked according to the merits. If you can't do it, don't be afraid, it's not too late to determine the ranking in the next few games! ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they naturally knew that it was actually the county lord who released water to everyone, although there were two questions, but one was actually done. As long as the "lacquer carving" is done, you don't have to pay attention to the "size" of the latter question. It's luck to write it by luck, and it doesn't hurt if you can't write it, so you can spend your time and energy in front.

The candidate who knelt in the middle of the corridor was about to cry, just kowtow.

Zheng Yue didn't intend to punish him heavily. If he didn't have this introduction, how could he behave righteously? This is much better than the original script!

"What's your name?" Zheng Yue was full of majesty.

The old boy suddenly raised his head: "The old man doesn't know who the little one is?" ”

Zheng Yue was secretly angry: You old boy dare to talk to me! His face was blank, and he said sharply: "I don't know!" Just report your name and let the official see who you are."

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the bearded candidate, and at the same time looked at the teacher who was so angry that his eyes were full of fire, and secretly said in his heart: This candidate is brainless, disturbing the examination room and stimulating the main exam, maybe he will be spanked this time!

Neither Zheng Yue nor Xu Yuanzuo expected that the candidate suddenly burst out, turned around and rushed to the examination shed, grabbed the exam card and was about to run out.

Several officials were dumbfounded, and they didn't expect to arrest him.

The candidate snatched the exam card and rushed to the dragon gate, but saw that the dragon gate had already been locked, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

Xu Yuanzuo reacted at this time: No wonder he wanted to ask the county zun if he knew about him, and he wanted to escape!

Zheng Yue was so angry that his face turned white, and he said angrily: "What kind of system! What a system! ”

The candidate was scolded by Zheng Yue and came to his senses, and hurriedly tore the floating post on the exam card with his hand, shouting while tearing it: "Although the master punishes me alone, don't implicate the little guarantor." ”

Xu Yuanzuo couldn't help but admire when he heard this: Although he is a little stupid, he knows righteousness, and he is reading "Spring and Autumn" in the end!

Zheng Yue was also moved, and ordered the messenger to fork him up, and said: "You, a candidate, are frivolous and not calm enough, and you disturb the examination room, you should have been flogged fifty and driven out of the field, and you will not be asked to enter the venue for five years!" ”

The candidate's tears were like springs: "The old man is merciful, the little one can only study, and he can't make a living, if he can't enter the exam, how can he live!" ”

When Xu Yuanzuo heard this, he couldn't help but feel sore for him: Listening to his teacher's tone, he clearly said "it should be", which means to let him go. But this nerd is crying and making trouble, saying that he can only read, isn't he looking for a cigarette himself! (To be continued......)
