Chapter 43 County Examination

But when he thought of his mother and grandmother outside the examination room, Yun Ji was full of motivation.

Since his father's death, Yun Ji has become more and more aware that only by studying and becoming an official can his mother and grandmother avoid gossip. Only by standing higher can you protect the people you want to protect.

The fact that my mother doesn't like to teach me some intrigue and trickery doesn't mean that he won't take the initiative to learn. For the sake of his mother and grandmother, he must work hard to fight for it. It can not only satisfy the wishes of the mother, but also protect them, so why not do it?

Li Qing didn't know that his son was no longer as simple as he seemed, and if he knew, he would probably vomit blood.

About half an hour later, the gate of the county examination was officially closed, and the candidates who were late no longer entered the examination room, and the examination booth was almost full.

After counting the number of people one by one, the exam officially began.

When the prefectural order counted the number of people, the title had already been written on paper, and then someone quickly copied it several times, and then passed it on one by one.

It is impossible for hundreds of test booths to deliver test questions in a loud voice, so they can only do so.

When it was Yun's turn, he read the title carefully and then wrote it down on paper.

Many people think they remember the test questions and don't copy them down in time, and as a result, they lose important information because they panic. As a result, it is allowed to look a second time.

Yun Ji was not in a hurry, after he carefully read the questions on the scratch paper, he began to pour water and grind the ink, and after grinding for about half an hour, Yun Ji took the pen and ink to write the answer on the side of the scratch paper. The questions in the county exam are very simple, mainly about rote memorization.

For example, the first question is: "The way of university...... is the shortest. ("The Book of Rites • University"), the second title "Filial piety said: the foundation of filial piety is also ...... Wu Nian Erzu, Yu Xiu Jide". ("The Book of Filial Piety") clouds and only need to fill out the blank part in the middle, which is the so-called sticking scripture.

Today's questions are like this, and when tomorrow the question type will change, and it should be mixed with the content of the ink meaning. But that's not what Yun Ji should be concerned about, he has to concentrate on the present now.

Master Zhu said that everything in the examination room must be carefully protected to protect its integrity, so Yunji writing is extra careful. It took about two hours to write all the answers on scratch paper.

At this time, it was almost midday, and Yun Ji was a little hungry, so he put down his pen, picked up a stone from the ground, and pressed the test paper. Only then did he pick up the test basket on the side, and in the paper bag was the hunger food prepared by Li Qing for him, two breads, two steamed buns, and fried pickles.

Yun Ji picked up the steamed bun and sat on the chair with pickles and ate it in a regular manner. His eyes had drifted elsewhere.

In the examination booth opposite him sat a man with a hairpin, in his twenties, who should be tired of writing and was sitting and resting. As if sensing that someone was looking at him, the man looked up and touched Yun Ji's eyes.

A trace of surprise flashed in the man's heart, this is still a milk baby, why did he come to participate in the scientific examination? Sky! Which village? Such a wickedness.

All the small movements of Yun Ji and the man fell into the eyes of the invigilator. First, the two of them have not cheated, and second, the two of them are harmless, so the invigilators are all blind to one eye.

The man lowered his head and hooked the corners of his lips, what about the baby? Have you finished reading the required reading list for the scientific examination? You can't come out of your mother's womb so quickly! I still concentrate on answering my questions to avoid mistakes.

Both of them stopped paying attention to each other, Yun Ji finished the steamed bun, drank water and ate a full bread. Yun Ji noticed that the other party was an old man, about fifty years old, with white temples and patches on his clothes, looking quite poor.

He was writing slowly, and the pen in his hand had cracked and was a little broken, and Yun Ji stopped paying attention to it after looking at it for a while.

He now has to put all his energy into transcribing the test papers, not only the answers, but also the questions.

After setting up the paper, he cleared his heart and concentrated on it, this is the method that his mother told him, and he used it.

Pick up the pen and ink, and write word by word on the paper. Master Zhu often guides the words of Yun Ji, the words of Master Zhu have a bit of their own style, he absorbed the essence from the official book, and softened it into the regular script. So Yun Ji has some inheritance from this, but it is not too revealing, and when he was at home, Li Qing gave guidance to Yun Ji's words, both of which are good, and Yun Ji silently absorbs them.

Finally, before the sun waned, Yunji completed all the questions.

Then he double-checked it, and decided that there was nothing wrong, so he rang the bell of his examination booth.

After the exam papers were taken away by the invigilator, he lifted his exam basket and walked out of the examination booth.

Yunji wasn't the first to come out, but it wasn't the last either. The time for the exam has not yet arrived, and all the candidates are not allowed to go out, and those who have handed in their papers in front of them are waiting at the door.

Because of his young age, Yun Ji was the shortest of the candidates who came out. Everyone is a little curious, this little radish head, so young to take the exam, I'm afraid I haven't read the four books!

Those twelve or thirteen-year-olds thought they were the youngest, but they didn't expect that there were even younger than them, and while feeling uncomfortable, they also reflected on themselves. Why can others participate in the scientific examination when they are still milk dolls? But I haven't made progress yet.

Although Yun Ji is young, he has a delicate mind and has long been aware of this, so he doesn't want to have too much contact. He automatically carried the basket and retreated to the corner to the side, quietly waiting for the exam to end.

When you are not strong enough, you must definitely behave in a low-key manner and not be conspicuous. Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Yun Ji understands this truth, this is the lesson from the last fight.

Last time, my mother and grandmother helped me solve it. If the next time there is a disaster, the mother and grandmother can't solve it, won't it affect them? Yunji never dared to imagine.

Jiang pulled Li Qing early and looked forward to it at the gate of the county test hospital. Li Qing looked at Jiang's appearance, which can be described in four words, and he wanted to wear it.

I feel that my mother has failed so much, but I don't love it as vividly as my grandmother.

Li Qing was willing to review himself for three seconds.

Finally, the bell for the end of the exam is ringing, and the door is about to open. Out of it came a group of tall, short, fat and thin students, young and old.

As I walked, I shouted about the topic of this time.

"Damn, that "Mencius", I didn't even think about it, and after it came out, it appeared in my mind again, do you say that you are angry or not?"

"I also have a question that I haven't written, which is from the "Mean", and I can't remember it now." The person who spoke was quite discouraged, as if he did not do very well in the test this time.

"You can't remember what it is, I did something stupid, I missed the question, and I didn't find out until I finished writing and checking, so I had to pinch and write."
