Gu Jin found his room, which was very narrow, with only two wooden planks up and down, the upper plank was used as a table for answering the questionnaire, and the lower board was used as a chair.

In the examination shed, there is a charcoal fire, a candle, and a toilet for the candidates. Candles are used for lighting, and charcoal fires can be used for heating, but also for cooking. In fact, the so-called cooking is just to bake the cake on it, where to care whether it is delicious or not, it is good to be full.

Gu Jin entered the room, and the door behind him was locked by the soldiers, Gu Jin could vaguely hear the complaints of the candidates next door, many of these scholars were born in the sons and young masters of big families, and they had fine clothes and food on weekdays, where had they suffered like this.

The first test is four books, try to choose topics from "Analects", "The Mean", "University", and "Mencius", one poem with five words and eight rhymes, and four poems with meaning.

The first exam question was sent, Gu Jin didn't think it was difficult, she studied the ink, dipped the pen, and wrote a little bit.

The first time it must be a draft, Gu Jin deleted and changed it after writing it, thinking that it was almost done before it was copied on other paper, Gu Jin has been practicing hard these days, so the handwriting is much more elegant than in the past.

Gu Jin finished the exam paper before dark, the autumn leaves were slightly cool, Gu Jin carefully put away the exam paper, lit the candle brazier again, reached out and turned out a baked cake in the exam basket, pinched the edge of the baked cake with his fingertips, and gently baked it on the edge of the brazier.

The fragrance of the cake gradually spread, and Gu Jin's stomach began to gurgle, but she was not in a hurry to eat, she liked to bake it a little more burnt.

Smelling the fragrance of wheat, Gu Jin remembered that when he was a child, when his mother and father were still alive, they were so young, and there was always laughter at home.

My brother would take her to roast all kinds of food in the stove, roasted chestnuts, roasted potatoes, baked pancakes, she liked to eat burnt pancake crust, and my brother peeled all the scone crusts for her to eat, and looked at the sweetness of her food, my brother laughed at her for being a little gluttonous cat.

Gu Jin's eyes were a little damp, and she blinked her eyes vigorously, only then did she squeeze back the sourness that came up.

"Ahem,"

There was a light coughing sound at the door, Gu Jin thought it was a patrolling soldier, she unconsciously turned her head to look, but saw Chu Mo standing outside the small window of the number room, with a smile on his face.

Gu Jin was very surprised and speechless, surprised that he didn't expect Chu Mo to appear in the examination room, speechless was that Chu Mo was actually wearing a soldier's clothes, a dignified emperor, do you want to be a little more decent?

Gu Jin hurriedly stood up.

"Don't talk, be careful if people find out I'm here!" Chu Mo lowered his voice and said to Gu Jin in a breathless voice.

After finishing speaking, Chu Mo looked around again, and was relieved to see that there was no one.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jin asked.

"You're crying? Is it because the exam questions are too difficult to write, so you cry? Chu Mo didn't answer Gu Jin's question, but asked with a smile.

Gu Jin was speechless.

"No, it's smoky!" Gu Jin replied in a low voice and respectfully.

"I don't believe it, you were clearly crying just now!" Chu Mo said in a mocking tone.

Gu Jin was even more speechless, to be honest, every time she met Chu Mo, she felt that the other party was very annoying.

"I heard that you hurt people again in the morning?" Chu Mo continued to ask.

Gu Jin felt a pain in his heart.

"Someone framed the student, and the student had to do it!" Gu Jin tried his best to explain in a smooth voice.

"Oh, okay, let's take it as it is! You're good at the exam, I'm leaving! Chu Mo smiled again, but obviously he didn't believe the authenticity of Gu Jin's last resort.

"Congratulations!" Gu Jin bowed.

Finally left, seeing that Chu Mo's face had disappeared, Gu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could sit down, Chu Mo's face suddenly appeared in the small window again.

Gu Jin was startled, and almost blurted out with an exclamation.

"By the way, if you really understand Yuan, don't forget to invite me to drink, I'll wait!" Chu Mo raised his eyebrows.

After saying this, Chu Mo disappeared again, and Gu Jin gritted his teeth fiercely.

Is this man really the emperor? Don't be fooled yourself, meet a charlatan!

The night in room was hard, the bed was hard and cold, and the only broken blanket to keep out the cold was still full of musty smell, covering nauseous, not frozen bones that hurt.

That's all, what Gu Jin couldn't stand the most was that a big mouse came out of the crack of the door in the middle of the night, Gu Jin stared at it in horror, it also stared at Gu Jin with thief's eyes, it was not afraid of Gu Jin at all, and finally directly took the remaining half of Gu Jin's dinner and gnawed it, and after eating, he slowly drilled out of the crack in the door.

Gu Jin didn't know if all women were afraid of mice, anyway, she was very scared, Gu Jin was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep, but she changed her mind, she had to take the second exam tomorrow, wouldn't she have the energy to deal with it if she didn't sleep?

Gu Jin plugged the crack of the door with the broken blanket, holding back her fear, she curled up on the wooden board and closed her eyes, she had to sleep, she told herself that she was just a mouse, since she didn't want to be a woman anymore, then throw away the last bit of her daughter's temperament!

In the drowsiness, Gu Jin fell asleep in the end, and the dream was bizarre, one time it was her mother who told her that the woman wanted to be chaste and virtuous, one time it was her brother's bloody face, and one time it was Chu Mo who smiled at her, and finally Chu Mo became a big mouse and ate her cake secretly.

When she woke up in the morning, Gu Jin sat there and laughed stupidly for a while, dreaming that turning Chu Mo into a mouse made her feel a kind of unproductive pleasure, probably because of this dream, Gu Jin felt that she was in a very good mood and full of energy.

Gu Jin rested well, but not every candidate could sleep, and there were not many people who closed their eyes this night.

Some people stay up all night studying because they haven't finished the exam papers, while others are so nervous that they can't sleep at all. There are also pampered at home, and the environment of the room is too poor, and these young masters only feel miserable.

Regardless of whether these people had a break or not, the next day's exam came as scheduled.

The second examination consists of the Five Classics, and the edicts, judgments, tables, and edicts are examined.

The questions in this session were a bit difficult, and I complained bitterly after knowing the questions in the exam, and I didn't sleep well the night before, so this day's exam was very difficult.

It's still a cold night, Gu Jin woke up with back pain, fortunately, during this time, she would practice five poultry operas to strengthen her body, otherwise she didn't know if she would be sick if she was cold and tired in the past two days!

Not every candidate is in good health, the candidate in the next room coughs for half a night, but even if he is sick, there is no medicine to eat, if he leaves the examination room at this time, this subject will be wasted, and if he wants to take the exam again, he can only wait for another three years.
