"Yes, yes, the lower official knows that he is wrong, and he will never make this mistake again." Zhou Dongping breathed a sigh of relief and admitted without a word.

Only then did Lord Zhao ease his face and stand up from the position of the chief examiner: "Since you are here, you are still the host." ”

Zhou Dongping gave a deep salute, and then waved his hand at Li Tong, Li Tong handed over a stack of written test questions in his hand to the Xu officials, and the Xu officials hurriedly distributed them to the errand who held the signs, pasted the paper on the signs, and then patrolled around the examination rooms separately.

Because Xuezheng is here, Zhou Dongping didn't dare to come up with any more demon moths on the topic, and honestly came up with two strategic topics.

At this time, the strategy was not written during the Ming and Qing Dynasty palace examinations. Now this policy topic is just to write an argumentative essay, give a broader topic, and let you elaborate on some views on current politics, agricultural affairs, folk customs, and other issues. It can be said that the first two exams are an assessment of the candidates' knowledge mastery and talents, and the last one is an opportunity to reflect the candidates' vision and thoughts. The results of this last exam have little impact and are only used as the basis for the final ranking.

There are also examples of people and things who have a deep understanding of people and things, and the first two rankings are not high, but the last two essays have their own unique ideas, which makes the examiner's eyes shine and advances the ranking a lot.

Du Jinning has won the first place in the first two games, and the name of the head of the government has been stabilized; She did something outside the exam room again, and she decided to keep a low profile in the exam room. Moreover, she was a twelve-year-old peasant son who had only been studying for two years, and suddenly wrote two awesome articles that even the old ministers could not write, which had a very important guiding role in national policy.

When it's time to be low-key, you have to be low-key.

Because she has never forgotten it, she has read the strategies written by Qi Muyuan, Guan Jiaze, Liang Xiankuan and others, and has a deep understanding of the thoughts of students of this age, so it is very easy for her to write an article that is about the same level as them. And in such an article, it is very appropriate to intersperse a few sentences of her "insight", so that the article occasionally shines.

Half a step faster than this era is a genius, and a step faster is a madman. A little more unique insight than the candidates can make her sit more firmly in the position of the head of the house.

Du Jinning participated in this government test, no matter which one of them was very calm in time. Other candidates write questions in meditation, and their physiological needs are solved only when their bodies can't stand it. But Du Jinning pinched the time with full energy and carefully planned how to solve the physiological problem.

For example, one of the major problems in this exam is going to the toilet. Like the first two games, Du Jinning insisted on not drinking water, until it was almost time for dinner, when the cloud board just rang, she rang the bell very quickly.

She was quick-handed, and she also got acquainted with the errand in the second exam, and the errand came quickly, and she was the first to go out of the examination room and go to the latrine under the watchful eye of the errand officer.

Why pinch this time? Because everyone has experience and drinks less water during the exam, except for those with bad kidneys, they can basically stick to this break time at night before rushing to the toilet.

And the toilet was cleaned before each exam, and now that the University of Political Science and Technology has come to inspect it, this hygiene is even more thorough. She grabbed the lead to go to the toilet, so she could naturally go to a clean toilet.

Du Jinning is very grateful to the ancients for preserving, no matter how simple the toilet is, it will not not have a door like the toilet in a modern school. Each latrine of this era was a separate one, not only with a door, but also tightly surrounded on all sides. So whether it was in the academy before, or now in the examination room, it is not particularly embarrassing for her to go to the toilet.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, there was already a long queue outside.

Back in the examination room, she asked for food, sat down a little to eliminate food, then packed up her things and lay down on the horizontal board, and lay down with her clothes.

At this time, the weather was already relatively warm, but Du Jinning also wore a leather coat to come in - because he was afraid of entrainment, cotton clothes, jackets, and other clothes with a sandwich could not be worn into the examination room. The leather jacket is warm and has no compartments, making it perfect for winter exams. At that time, Liang Xiankuan and Fang Shaohua also laughed at her, saying that she was too weak, and she still wore so much in such warm weather.

Now it is estimated that the two of them will regret it. The weather in the fourth month of the lunar calendar is still quite cold at night, and Du Jinning sleeps in a leather coat, which is not cold at all.

She is young and has a good body, she has always slept well, and she slept very soundly this time, and it was not until the cloud board for breakfast sounded that Du Jinning opened her eyes.

Because of the big mistake of being late, Zhou Dongping behaved very carefully, and did not dare to go to sleep at all, but took turns to take a nap in the seat with Li. Du Jinning's peaceful sleep fell into their eyes, which made them speechless.

Other candidates are either fighting at night, or tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night, they have never seen such a big heart as Du Jinning, who can sleep so peacefully in such an environment, and sleep for three or four hours at a time.

After getting up, Du Jinning pinched his nose and went to the toilet, and after breakfast, he began to copy two articles. After killing a little more time until lunch, she rang the bell and handed in the papers.

Standing in front of the exam number and watching the candidates write articles is very affecting the candidates' performance in the exam, and Lord Zhao comes to see it from time to time, Zhou Dongping doesn't dare to do such a move again, so this time he basically sits there honestly, even if he gets up to inspect, he just walks around, and he doesn't dare to read what Du Jinning wrote. And Du Jinning was the first in the first two games, and she was the first to be the head of the house, so Zhou Dongping naturally would not risk being blamed by Lord Zhao to embarrass Du Jinning again.

When Du Jinning handed in the paper, he and Li read it curiously, and then found that although this article was on top, it did not throw off other candidates.

There is nothing out of the ordinary in the arguments, and there are no taboos. The title of the head of the government, even if Zhou Dongping is unwilling, he has to give it to him.

He glanced at Du Jinning and said with admiration on his face: "The twelve-year-old head of the mansion is also a good story when it is passed out." However, there is still work to be done, and there is no slackness. You still have a long way to go, and this is just the beginning. ”

He did a good job on the surface, and Du Jinning was not inferior. She gave Zhou Dongping a deep bow and said respectfully: "Thank you for your appreciation, and the students are grateful." ”

Zhou Dongping nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead." ”

The officer who guarded the gate was still the same as before. As soon as he saw Du Jinning come out early, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he lowered his voice and said, "Is Xiao Xianggong still practicing calligraphy today?" ”

Du Jinning shook his head: "Don't practice, I'll just sit here." ”

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief and kindly reminded Du Jinning. "The stool is clean, I just wiped it."

"Thank you, uncle." Du Jinning smiled and sat down on the stool.

Although it doesn't matter what you do after handing in the papers, as long as you don't make a loud noise and affect other people's exams, it is not a violation. But today, Lord Zhao made an inspection, in order to avoid letting him see, Du Jinning still stayed honestly today. After all, there is no candidate who is not a trembling competitor here, and he does not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. She's not too special. Zhou Dongping was hostile to her, she was too lazy to brush up on impression points, but she still had to brush it in front of Lord Zhao.
