Chapter 134: Township Test
Gu Chengyu propped his head and watched the deputy examiner in front of him hand out the papers, and when the papers were finished, the door was about to be locked, and three candles were sent down along with the exam papers.
In fact, Gu Chengyu felt that it was better not to write exam papers at night if he stayed in such an examination room. Everyone's house is locked, and if there is any fire, they won't even be able to run.
The door of the waiting room was locked, and the first test of the township examination officially began. Gu Chengyu polished the ink, picked up the scroll, and glanced at it roughly. "Analects", "University", and "Mencius" are all available, and each title is written with more than 200 words, which is actually dictation.
Write another five-character and eight-rhyme poem, this must be solved first. There are four scriptures, and each question should be written with more than 300 words.
Gu Chengyu is not afraid of the title of the four books, the most troublesome thing is the scriptures, the scriptures of the Dayan Dynasty are already similar to the eight-strand text of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the previous life, that is, the Zou shape of the eight-strand text of the Tang and Song dynasties.
The four scriptures first need to be broken and inherited, Gu Chengyu didn't look at it carefully, he was going to finish writing the four books first.
After laying out the volume, Gu Chengyu began to write the above four book titles on scratch paper, each of which was more than 200 words, which was not much for Gu Chengyu, and he wrote quickly. It's just that there is no room for error here, and he writes slower than usual.
The time to leave the examination room was on the third day, and Gu Chengyu planned to hand in the papers early in the morning on the third day, for him, time was still enough.
It was noon, the sunlight outside the number house was pouring in, it was very dazzling, Gu Chengyu squinted and looked out the window, today is another sunny day, and I feel a little hot at this time. There is no ventilation in the house, the temperature inside is very high, and there is a small red stove next to it, and there is charcoal in the small stove, which is burning, in order to be able to heat food and rice.
However, now Gu Chengyu only felt that he was in a steamer.
I took off the two single clothes on the outside and used the internal force to feel better. The probe looked outside, but found that the candidate on the opposite side was already shirtless, and he could still see the flesh of the other party's white flowers here.
Fortunately, he has internal strength, Gu Chengyu thought happily. Looking at the small clock in the space, he found that it was almost twelve o'clock, and he was ready to make lunch again. At noon, he planned to warm up the water in the bamboo tube, and then deal with the dried meat and steamed buns.
The errand officer outside was moving around from time to time, and if a candidate needed to buy food, he only needed to ring the small bell next to him, and the officer would deliver it. However, I heard that the food inside is extremely expensive.
Gu Chengyu looked at the jerky and steamed buns in his hand, in such weather, he might not last for two days, and the steamed buns would be rancid. However, he is not afraid, anyway, he has space, there is a lot of food in the space, and when the time comes, no one will know if he cooks some noodles or something in the evening, he only needs to solve the two meals in the morning and at noon.
After lunch, Gu Chengyu continued to do the question.
The following are four scripture questions, the first question is Yan Yuan said: "Use it to do it, and give it up to hide, but I have a husband with you!"
As soon as Gu Chengyu saw the question, he knew that it was from the "Analects of the Analects", and he had to solve the problem first, Gu Chengyu wrote on the scratch paper, "It is appropriate for the sage to hide it, and it is also necessary for those who can start to show it." ”
Then take the topic, on this scripture, Gu Chengyu took nearly an hour to complete it, and there are three questions below, I think it will definitely not be finished today. He didn't plan to write at night, because he was nervous and tired during the day, and he needed to rest at night. Besides, he has a lot of time to spare, and he estimates that most candidates haven't even finished the four book questions now!
When it was dark, Gu Chengyu made two dishes. There are also two questions and a trial poem, which he plans to write again tomorrow.
Gu Chengyu cleaned up the table, put the test papers and pen and ink into the examination basket, and lay on the bed to prepare for rest. The lantern above the number room had been lit, and with his ability to see at night, he looked at the opposite room and found that the candidate was still writing hard.
In fact, it is too late to write these questions in three days, but this is for candidates who are relatively agile in their thinking, and they must memorize the four books to be ripe.
The next day, Gu Chengyu rested all night, brushed his teeth and washed his face with the toiletries in the space, and boiled the steamed buns and dried meat in hot water before eating breakfast.
After eating, he continued to write the two remaining scriptures from yesterday, and the two scriptures were written all morning, and at noon Gu Chengyu took out some noodles from the space and secretly cooked them. There's no way, he always eats steamed buns and jerky, and he can't swallow it anymore. After watching the patrol officer leave, he cooked the noodles quickly, adding only a little salt and oil, and dried meat, and served another meal.
After eating enough, Gu Chengyu went to the toilet and prepared to take a break, anyway, there was only one test post poem left, and then copy these answers on the test paper, and it wouldn't take long to copy.
The final test poem is required to be five words, eight rhymes, and sixteen sentences, and the test poem is decent. The title of the poem is "Immortals Discharge the Clouds", and the word "Taiwan" is obtained. This is from the Jin Dynasty poet Guo Pu's "Wandering Immortal Poem", which has a sentence, "The gods are out of the clouds, but see the gold and silver platform".
Gu Chengyu felt a little surprised, this poem may not have been read by every student, this is beyond the Four Books and Five Classics, it seems that it should be the so-called plus point.
This poem will take a lot of time, so Gu Chengyu decided to take it slowly, and copy those answers on the test paper first.
Fang Huai sat at the top and looked at the last house below, which was where Gu Chengyu was. He stood up, ready to go down for a walk. walked to Gu Chengyu's house, stood still a little farther away, glanced inside, and found that Gu Chengyu was copying the answer.
Time flickered, and soon it was the third day, Gu Chengyu had finished writing, and checked it up and down, waiting for the time to hand in the paper.
As soon as he arrived, Gu Chengyu rang the bell next to him, and in this narrow house, Gu Chengyu couldn't stay for a moment.
It didn't take long for the deputy examiner to come over to unlock Gu Chengyu's house, and they also had to seal Gu Chengyu's exam papers. The township examination is much stricter than the previous examination, and all candidates' examination papers have to be re-transcribed, and then they will be proofread by a different person, and finally the marking will begin.
When Gu Chengyu came out of the Tribute Courtyard, he felt that the air was much fresher. Although there is still some distance from Gongfang, the weather is hot and there are many people in Gongyuan, so the smell is really bad. There are tens of thousands of candidates for this township examination, and only about three or four hundred people were finally admitted!
"Childe! The little ones are waiting for Sun Gongzi here, you go back to wash up, and have a good rest! I still have to take the test tomorrow! Ming Yan was waiting for Gu Chengyu outside the Gong Courtyard today, and Ming Mo followed Yu Paralyzed to run errands.
"It's good! When Sun Gongzi and them come out, you tell them, and I will go back to the inn first!" "I haven't taken a bath for two nights, and Gu Chengyu can smell the smell on his body. He didn't dare to run into the space, what if the servants suddenly rose up to observe him? After all, he is young, and they are curious, so isn't he going to be a living person?
