Chapter 261: Submit the file ahead of schedule
After he finished shouting in the outer court, he went into the inner court and shouted again.
Scientific research is not only a test of strength, but also a test of luck. The county exam was arranged in the courtyard, and the future exam was arranged next to the smelly number, or in a leaky place, which was bad luck and bad luck, and the examiners would not care. For example, if it rains now, and you are arranged in the yard and you don't have an umbrella, that's your own business, and the examiners won't provide you with an umbrella.
At this time, the wind is getting stronger, the sky is getting darker, and the rain will fall at any time. The candidates in the courtyard all held up their umbrellas, so as not to wet the test papers when the rain came down for a while. Liang Xiankuan raised his umbrella and saw that there was a scholar in his twenties in front of him who did not bring an umbrella, looking very desperate, and he was full of gratitude to Du Jinning.
The wind is so strong that it is easy to get ink on the test paper if you are not careful. And the moment the rain falls, the wind blows obliquely, and it will inevitably carry the rain to the table under the porch and wet the test papers. Du Jinning simply rolled up the second test paper together, stuffed it into the test paper bag, and then stuffed the bamboo tube containing clean water into the lid tightly and pressed it onto the test paper bag, so as not to be blown away by the wind.
At this time, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there was also a blank piece of paper on her desk, which was the scratch paper issued to them.
Du Jinning accepted the test paper and did not rest, but wrote the answers to the scriptures and the test poems on the scratch paper.
She has the ability to never forget, and after a glance just now, she has memorized the content of the second test paper. At this point, you can just write the answer.
Although this will delay some time, it is better to write the answers directly on the test paper, but in this case, it is better to do things steadily, so as not to be quick and not reach.
It's just that I wrote three scripture questions, and the rain finally started to fall. As soon as the wind drifted, a piece of rain was immediately scattered in the corridor, screams and screams came one after another, and the scratch paper in Du Jinning's hand was also wet, and the ink quickly penetrated on the paper, and the words she had just written turned into ink balls, and finally it was simply black, and she could no longer see what she had just written.
The old man sitting on Du Jinning's right was extremely grateful to Du Jinning at this time.
You must know that after the cheating incident, his mood was inevitably affected by some influences, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. I finally got into the state just now, and I was about to speed up the speed of doing the test questions, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of Du Jinning's action of collecting the test papers, he was stunned, and quickly rolled up the test papers on the table.
Du Jinning's careful protection of his test papers was originally seen by Liu Xianling, but it was about to rain now, so it was naturally necessary to follow him to protect his test papers.
Since he did not have a test paper bag, he could only pour out the food in the basket, then put the test paper on his lap and buckle the basket upside down on the test paper. There is also a table on top of the basket so that the paper can be protected as much as possible.
When he did all this, the rain drifted in. When he saw someone not far away holding a dirty test paper that had been soaked into a cloud of ink and was about to cry, he was extremely happy.
Du Jin didn't care about the neighboring tables, her attention was all on Liang Xiankuan. They sit in the corridor and there is still a roof to block it, as long as they are careful, the test papers will not be destroyed, but the people sitting in the courtyard are in trouble, even if there is an umbrella, it is estimated that it will be difficult to block the wind like this obliquely.
But the examination room in the courtyard was covered by an umbrella at this time, coupled with the rain curtain, it was difficult to see the scene in the distance clearly, how Liang Xiankuan was, Du Jinning couldn't see it at all at this time. She raised her head, and could only beg the heavens to open her eyes so that the rain would soon stop.
The rain was not heavy, but the wind blew hard, and the rain drifted around with the direction of the wind. However, as the rain fell, the wind gradually became much lighter, and the raindrops finally returned to their normal trajectory, and no more rain drifted in the corridor.
Seeing this, everyone took out the test paper and wrote.
After the scratch paper was wet, Du Jinning didn't write anymore. At this point, she wiped the table with a ball of scratch paper to make sure that the ink had not seeped onto the table, and then took out the second paper from the test paper bag and wrote the answers that she had written once on the test paper.
However, in order to prevent the rain from drifting in again, she put the test basket on the table, blocked the front of the test paper, and then unfolded part of the scratch paper and put it in the basket, so that it stretched out halfway, like an umbrella for the small half of the test paper. In this way, once the rain comes again, she can also have time to rescue.
At the same time, she also sped up the speed of writing exam papers.
Because she has read the test questions once, when she had nothing to do just now, she has gone through the previous Moyi and arithmetic questions in her mind, and the scripture questions and test poems have been drafted, and she does the volume very fast, and she can write without thinking about it. In addition, her writing speed has already been practiced, and it only took half an hour to finish writing the second paper, and it is less than two hours before the start of the exam.
The test paper cannot be altered, even if you feel that you have written incorrectly or badly, you cannot change it again. The longer you sit here, the more likely it is that the test paper will get wet from the rain. Du Jinning simply rolled up the test paper and put it in the test paper bag, then cleaned up the things on the table, got up and left directly.
Although the amount of questions in this county exam is not too large, because of the increased difficulty, the scriptures, arithmetic and test poems require a lot of time to think and calculate, and then experience the influence of various external factors that are blown by the wind and rain. The rule of the prefectural exam is not to light candles, which means that today's exam will end when it is dark and invisible. At this time, there are at least three hours before the end of the exam, as long as you don't get too stuck on the next few big questions, there is still enough time.
But Du Jinning handed in the papers together, which still made the atmosphere in the examination room stir for a while.
Except for the students of Boyue Academy, most people think that Du Jinning felt that this year's county exam was hopeless because the test paper was wet from the rain, so he simply gave up the exam and came back next year. Looking at his age, everyone can understand it.
At a young age, you have the capital to start over. Unlike some people, such as the old man next door to Du Jinning, who has taken the exam this year, he may not come to take the exam next year. Therefore, even if the test papers are wet and dirty by the rain, they would rather hold a fluke mentality, hoping that Liu County Ling will give them a chance in the face of today's weather, and will not take the risk of giving up the exam and handing in the papers so early.
