Zhao Ruyu has a systematic matter, but Zhao Ruxi doesn't take it seriously. After a period of intense review, it was time for the August Township Exam.

Candidates from other places have to take the examination all the way in the county government, the government office, and the provincial capital tribute institute, and they are very busy. Candidates in the capital do not have to be so busy, and the location of the exam is almost fixed.

After taking so many exams, not to mention Zhao Ruxi, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu are much calmer.

It was still Zhao Yuanxun who sent Zhao Ruxi to the door of the examination institute and watched her go in before leaving. Only Ma Sheng's family was left to guard here with the carriage in turn, in case Zhao Ruxi suddenly left the scene and went home early.

It's still the old place, it's still the same number of invigilators, it's just that the proctors are different.

There is an example of Zhang Li in the front, not to mention that the imperial court will carefully screen the examiners, even if the examiners who are not dealing with Suiping Bofu or Zhao Ruxi are selected, they will not dare to stumble Zhao Ruxi in front of everyone.

This time, it was Yu Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was sent to take the main test for Zhao Ruxi. The other three officials were drawn from various ministries.

Everyone has arrived, and the time has not yet arrived, and the head of the household department, Jiang, is idle, and asked the official of the Ministry of Industry who is good friends with him in a low voice: "Lord Qian has seen the Zhiwei layman?" ”

Lord Qian shook his head: "I haven't seen it." However, I heard that he was still young, and he had just reached the end of his life. ”

Director Jiang sighed with emotion: "Look at other people's children, how can they be so smart and capable." My grandsons are all sixteen or seventeen years old, and they have just passed the exam. Knowing that he was only a shallow learner, he didn't dare to participate in the autumn festival this time, for fear of losing face if he didn't pass the exam. It's really more popular than people. ”

Master Qian said with a smile: "Ling Sun is pursuing steady and steady progress, and it is rare to see such a calm young man." ”

Director Jiang was modest in his mouth, but there was a sense of self-satisfaction on his face.

At this moment, there was a voice outside the door, and after a while, a mother-in-law led a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old in.

This woman's facial features are bright and fresh, and she is tall. When she came in and saw them, she didn't see any timidity, saluted everyone, and said, "Student Zhao Ruxi, I've been working with all the examiners for a while. ”

One exam in the township exam is three days, and the food and accommodation are in this room for these three days, and there are three exams in total. For the sake of Zhao Ruxi's reputation, Xiao Qi deliberately chose the older when choosing the chief examiner. Like the examiner Yu Qing, he is over the age of sixteen this year, and he is thirty out of sixty. The other three were also in their fifties.

Yu Qing is a kind old man. He smiled at Zhao Ruxi and said, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

The room is spacious. There was only a pair of tables and chairs in the middle of the room, which was Zhao Ruxi's seat. The desks and chairs of the four examiners were scattered in the four corners of the room.

Zhao Ruxi walked to the table and sat down.

Director Jiang stepped forward and read out the discipline of the examination room. Then let the two mothers-in-law lead Zhao Ruxi into the inner room to check whether there was any entrainment on his body.

After the inspection was completed, and seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Qing and Master Qian went out together, took the test papers, and put them in front of Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi picked up the test paper and looked at it, and found that the questions were all complete, the handwriting was clear, and there were no missed questions or ambiguity. She read the topic again, and then the water dripped onto the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

The process of grinding ink is the process of ideation.

The township examination of the Great Jin Dynasty basically examines the policy theory, and in this policy theory, there are tests on the understanding of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and some are mixed with the knowledge of arithmetic and law.

For example, the first major question of this topic chose a sentence from "University". Let you argue for this.

First of all, you have to be familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, know which book this sentence comes from, and recall and connect it to the context in order to understand the meaning of the topic. When you understand the topic correctly, you can write an argument about it.

This style of writing is somewhat similar to the eight-strand text of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it focuses more on actual arguments than on the form of eight-strands.

Another example is the fifth question of the question, which is related to disaster relief. Say that a certain county is hit by a flood, how many people are affected, how much grain is stored in the county, what is the specific situation, and what should you do if you are in charge of disaster relief?

Here is not only to calculate whether there is enough food to eat, but also to be familiar with the knowledge of the laws of the imperial court in disaster relief and how to deal with the disaster situation.

If we say, the children's examination and the college examination are relatively basic knowledge things. The township test focuses on the ability to handle political affairs.

Therefore, if the ranking is high in the township examination and the person has a local reputation, he can also be an official. Because if you are admitted to the lifting of people, it has proved that you have the ability to handle political affairs.

Zhao Ruxi read the first question and didn't rush to write. She slowly grinded the ink, read all the questions, thought about how to make ideas, how to argue, what to write, how to write, and tried to make sure that before she put pen to paper, she knew the whole test paper in her heart.

After the ink was polished, she listed the ideas for each question on the scratch paper. Once you've made the list, consider it again and see if there's anything left to add. It wasn't until she thought she had thought through each question on the test paper that she began to type the draft of the first question.

The reason why I did this is because the time for the exam is too long, I have to eat and sleep here, and I can't sleep well.

Therefore, on the first day, the energy is the most full, the thinking is the most active, and the mind is the clearest. If you don't take advantage of this time to think clearly about the solution ideas and writing methods of all the questions. When you don't sleep well on the first night, when you don't sleep well on the second night, when you feel dizzy, have a sore back, and are exhausted, you will find that your mind is full of mush, and you can't remember what to write about.

I sorted out my thoughts and made an outline. Even if you don't have a good brain, you can write a good article with a clear and complete idea written in advance, as well as the level of experience in writing articles.

This is Zhao Ruxi's response after listening to the examination experience of the Confucians.

There are sergeants guarding and patrolling the men's examination room, and the examiners do not need to keep an eye on anyone, but can also walk around in the examination booth and make rounds.

But here in the women's examination room, four people and eight eyes stared at the little girl for three games and nine days, and the little girl who was not strong in heart was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. If everyone goes back to her and walks in front of her from time to time, then they don't have to take exams.

So they can't move around this exam room if it's not necessary.

It's boring.

If you have nothing to do, it's easy to think about it.

No, Director Jiang had just finished talking to Master Qian about his grandson, and he was thinking about the benefits of his grandson and Zhao Ruxi's marriage.

He was humbling himself with Lord Qian just now, but he was actually very proud of his grandson.

His grandson has been smart since he was a child, and he is also very handsome, although he was only talented at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and he did not participate in the autumn festival this time, but this was the result of their deliberate suppression.
