Chapter 36 The Government Examination

At the end of the day, Gu Chengyu and the others were outside the examination room, waiting for the Gongyuan to open.

The rules of the examination room are similar to those of the previous county exam, but there are thousands of candidates for this exam, and the dense candidates outside the Gongyuan are crowded together, although they dare not make loud noises, their ears are not clean.

"Seiyu! There are so many people this time, I'm afraid there are 2,000 people, right? If you take fifty of them, I don't know if I can pass the test! He Shunian felt a little nervous, there were too many people in the government exam, and he was a little stressed.

"Senior brother, you have a solid foundation, you really don't have to be afraid, just take the test hard!" Although Gu Chengyu is confident that he can pass, he doesn't know what ranking he can achieve.

This time the government examination needs to add a endowment as a guarantor, and Master Wen is a mutual guarantee with Mr. Yang, who is in another private school in the town.

He Shunian was about to say anything more, but he found that the Gongyuan was open, and then thousands of candidates were subjected to a preliminary examination in turn, and then they entered the court.

Candidates were led by four lantern-wielding children to enter the four examination rooms, and were to be searched again at the door. It's the same as last time, but this time it's a little more strict, and the days in April are already very warm. Therefore, the single clothes that everyone is wearing are inspected faster than the last county test!

Finally, the candidates enter the examination room, according to the examination introduction to find their own seat, this examination in addition to the examination citation, candidates are not allowed to bring in any thing, pens, ink, special paper, etc. are provided by the examination room, the first two test days each, the third policy needs to be tested for two days, the third day is not allowed to go out of the examination room, have to stay in the examination room overnight.

Overnight quilts are also provided by the examination room, and even meals and water are provided by the examination room.

Gu Chengyu looked at his seat number, and saw that it was Xuanzi No. 8, and the seat number was written on the wall of the examination shed, and Gu Chengyu found his seat according to the order in which he was arranged. It's still in the first row, just leaning inward, and the county capitals of each county are sitting in the first row, and the seat numbers are randomly selected.

Looking over from his seat, I saw that the examination booth was very long, his eyesight was good, and he could see the face of the examiner in front of him; And the brother next to him, I'm afraid he can only see the color of the examiner's clothes.

This time, the chief examiner was Lord Jiang, the prefect of Jingyuan Mansion, and he had just sat down at the top at this time. Gu Chengyu had seen it when he sang Bao before, this was a middle-aged beautiful uncle, but Jiang Zhifu looked at him with a strange look, and when he saw him, he actually stood up from the chair out of control, and seemed to have something to say, but after all, he only said one word and closed his mouth.

He was puzzled, it felt like he had met someone he hadn't seen in years.

In short, the look seemed to be shocked, and it seemed to be nostalgic, and there were some other emotions mixed in it, which was very complicated! This made Gu Chengyu suddenly have a bold association.

After cleaning up his mood, Gu Chengyu waited for the exam papers to be sent above.

The first test is to post the scriptures, Gu Chengyu is not afraid, the basic requirement is to pass the three classics or above, "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects" are mandatory; Later, the "Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan" of the Great Classics may choose one of them, and the other Chinese and minor classics will not be repeated one by one.

They are all written silently according to the specified paragraphs, which can be used to test both memory and calligraphy. You can rest three times a day, and someone will bring you to the toilet on time during the meal, and someone will guide and monitor you when you want to go to the toilet.

Gu Chengyu checked it in detail and saw that there was no abnormality, so he first added the ink ingot to water and slowly grinded it. The ink ingots in the examination room are good, and the grinding is smooth, and there is no sense of stagnation at all.

When grinding the ink, the exam papers were also sent down, Gu Chengyu didn't rush to look at it, but first planned to grind the ink ingots for a longer time, this is his habit!

The candidate on the opposite side had already picked up the exam paper and looked at it urgently, and also laid out the scratch paper, he had already polished the ink, seeing Gu Chengyu's slow and leisurely movements, he twitched the corners of his mouth, this time the pasting is many and miscellaneous, it will take a lot of time, this is not the third game, the evening hour is not usable, and the paper must be handed in before dark!

Gu Chengyu had no distractions, polished the ink, and began to pick up the exam papers and read them. He had already read through the Thirteen Classics, and the other books were even more extensive, so he was not in a hurry at all!

I scanned the test paper from top to bottom and had a number in my mind. Copy the question on scratch paper and start answering!

Jiang Zhifu, who was sitting at the top, looked at the candidates who were taking the exam below, and he was also full of emotion in his heart. Once upon a time, he was also one of them, and now, he is the prefect of Jingyuan County.

His family used to be a merchant, and when he was admitted to the Jinshi, it was like green smoke from the ancestral tomb. A few years ago, he was also prosperous, but now he has been re-elected for three consecutive terms in the position of this prefect, and it is his wife Yu who caused all this.

Looking at the corner of the exam room, it was a child! His mind went back to just now, when he first saw him, he was simply surprised, like! What a look! With such similar eyebrows and eyes, how could he admit his mistake? Looking at his place of origin, that is the place, could he be the son of that man?

The figure smiling back in the peach blossom forest has been lingering in his mind. Every time I wake up in the morning, the person around me is not her! He was a little excited when he thought of this, so he could only take a sip of the tea bowl to calm down!

Pull back the gaze that was placed there, that child is still the head of the county, and I don't know how the writing is! Since ancient times, there have been many prodigies, but most of them have disappeared after that! He simply put down the tea bowl and went down for a walk!

Jiang Zhifu looked at the candidates on both sides, and saw that some candidates were still copying the exam questions on scratch paper, and some candidates were meditating. He asked the officers to go to the back rows to make rounds, where it was difficult to see clearly and easy to cheat!

His footsteps did not stop, but went straight to Gu Chengyu's not far away, and saw Gu Chengyu copying the exam questions and writing the answers at the same time. Gu Chengyu seemed to write very easily, there was no pause in the middle, he walked closer and saw the words on his scratch paper, the words were well written, which was beyond his expectations!

After only two glances, Jiang Zhifu went elsewhere, he couldn't let people know his abnormality towards Gu Chengyu, which was not good for both of them! That past has been buried deep in my heart long ago. It's just that when he saw Gu Chengyu today, he seemed to be in a state of mind for a long time!

Time passed quickly, Gu Chengyu put down the brush and dried the ink on the scratch paper. The food was being distributed in front, and Gu Chengyu had to put away all the exam papers so as not to get stained with vegetable soup.

The meals in the examination room were not rich, one loofah scrambled egg and two white flour steamed buns. There are very few eggs in the loofah scrambled eggs, and they are cold, and the two steamed buns are even harder. The examination room did not allow candidates to bring their own meals, so Gu Chengyu could only pick up the steamed buns and eat them with cold water. He has a good stomach and generally doesn't have diarrhea!

After eating in a hurry, he pulled the bell and said that he was going to Xiaojie, he had to get up and move before writing, he had already written all the answers, and the rest was to copy it to the exam paper!

followed the errand officer through the rows of examination sheds, opened the door of the latrine, and a foul smell came to his face, making Gu Chengyu almost vomit out the steamed bun he had just eaten! He really sympathizes with the brother who got the bad name! I can't even eat when I smell it!

Under the supervision of the whole process, Gu Chengyu returned to his seat after a small release. Gu Chengyu made up his mind, next time he would drink less water, and if he could not go to the toilet, he would not go to it!
