"Candidates from Gui Province are admitted." There was a shout from the front.

Everyone quickly cheered up and looked ahead.

Du Jinning used to be able to stand calmly next to see how others were checking, but now that it was crowded, she couldn't see the front at all, so she had to lift her toes and look ahead.

I had no choice but to see the head, and I couldn't see the place where I checked the entrance.

"What do you want to see?" Qi Muyuan asked in a low voice.

Du Jinning glanced up at him, his expression was a little unnatural: "I want to see if it's the same as when I took the township exam." I don't think you need to take off your clothes. On such a cold day, if you take it off and put it on again, it will be troublesome to freeze and get sick. ”

She said this without leaking. If she only said the first half of the sentence, she would definitely be suspected of copying the entrainment, for fear that the inspection would be too strict and be found out. Add the second half of the sentence and it's nothing.

In the winter, who is not afraid of the cold.

Qi Muyuan picked up his feet and looked over there.

He's tall, and he's a bit of a standout. With such a tiptoe, I can see the situation in front of me clearly.

He put down his feet and said to Du Jinning: "It's almost the same as the township test." ”

Du Jinning was relieved.

In the front, because it has to be checked, the speed of release is slower. The people behind slowly moved forward, and when it was Du Jinning's turn and his party to be checked, it was already half an hour later.

Qi Muyuan is a man with a careful heart, not as big as Guan Jiaze. In the past, whether it was the hospital test, the government test or the township test, Du Jinning always dragged it to the back as much as possible when entering, and was unwilling to go in first.

Qi Muyuan noticed this situation, and in the process of moving this time, he deliberately protected Du Jinning from behind.

Seeing that Guan Jiaze in front of him was really like the township test, he only took off his outer robe, and the remaining middle coat was carefully checked by the official to see if there was any entrainment and was released, Du Jinning was relieved.

After entering the field and receiving the number plate, everyone separated, each looking for their own position.

Du Jinning was lucky this time and was not next to the stinky number. However, it was winter, and even if it was a stinky number, it was not as sad as the autumn in August.

By the time the messenger handed out the four treasures of the study and the examination papers one by one, it was already dawn.

In a big exam like this, the questions are generally not printed on the test papers, so as not to expose too many people to the test questions, which will lead to leaks. Instead, the examiner or deputy examiner will make the question on the spot.

Moreover, in order to prevent the examiner from preparing the questions and leaking them out, the examiner and the deputy examiner also discussed on the spot before issuing the questions.

Du Jinning watched the errand officer come over with a wooden sign, and the title on it was: "The year is cold, and then the pine and cypress will wither." ”

She lowered her eyes in contemplation.

The questions are simple, not difficult to understand, and do not require solving. But that's where the hardest part becomes. Because the questions are easy, it is not easy to write brilliantly and let the reviewers see your essay among more than 10,000 candidates.

Although the examination is more advanced, its marking form is the same as before, and it is also the first essay that is most important. If the first article is not well written, you will not take it if you write flowers later.

If it's just a simple topic, Du Jinning doesn't care. She has analyzed the acceptance rate of the entrance examination, and generally there are more than 10,000 candidates who take the examination, and most of the admission numbers are about 300, and the acceptance rate is extremely low. But this year's Enco is different. Because of the battle for succession, a large number of officials were dismissed, and the court urgently needed fresh blood to fill the vacancy.

And according to her observation, Zhao Yu is an ambitious and courageous emperor, and he is absolutely unwilling to be controlled by his power, so he needs a large number of children from poor families to enter the officialdom and be used by him.

Therefore, the number of admissions for this year's entrance examination should be about 400.

Du Jinning felt that with her own ability, as long as she didn't play abnormally, or she was unlucky enough to be deposed by the confused marking officer at will, it would not be difficult to be selected within 400 people.

But if you want to be at the top, you have to do what you like. Although she is not determined to be in Huiyuan, if she has the opportunity to get a good ranking, she will naturally not give up.

So the question is, is it better for her to invest in Gu Xinian, or to vote for Jiang Tong?

After pondering for a long time, she finally picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the paper: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is the next night, and the rest is slightly tired, and the rest is resting." There is no warmth in the arms, and the realization is realized. When Fang wakes up, it means the first night; I have listened for a long time, but I have never heard of it. Wrap up your clothes and go out of the room, the stars shine on me, the Beidou is far away, and the courtyard is hanging light. A branch of fragrant cinnamon, natural dew; Autumn bamboo counts the stems, and ...... to the moon according to it"

Du Jinning has always been extremely fast in writing. Her thoughts were smooth again, but in an hour, an article of about 800 words was written.

At this time, the general examination is different from the township examination, the difference is that it produces a certain number of questions on the same day, and then submits the paper on the same day. After handing in the papers, you can walk around the test room, go to the toilet or take a walk on the cramped sidewalk, and you will not be stopped from chatting with the candidate next door.

Today's topic is two essays and one poem.

After Du Jinning finished writing the first article, he stretched his waist and moved his body in the narrow examination room, but continued to write the second question.

This question is more difficult, but this is not difficult for Du Jinning, she wrote the second article in the same style as the previous article.

After the two articles were written, it was only time for lunch, and it was time for lunch.

The examination was the first major errand that the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites did, and he was naturally very dedicated. The food was quite delicious, and on a cold day, it was still hot when the messenger brought the food, which made Du Jinning very satisfied. What satisfied her the most was that she no longer ate winter melon, but changed to pumpkin.

When it came to eating, she thought out the poem.

Anyway, it was not the first time she had been a copyist, and writing poetry was not her forte, so she simply "borrowed" a poem from a poet in the Ming Dynasty and copied it on scratch paper.

After writing this, she took a break and carefully checked the articles and poems to see if there were any taboos. found out that there was none, so she began to copy the articles and poems carefully and neatly on the test papers.

In order to add points, she used one of her secret tricks, which was to write "Pavilion Style".

The pavilion body is also called the pavilion body, which only appeared during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and is known for making the tablet version and the posture is charming and even. Although it is relatively rigid and rigid, it is not as vibrant as other calligraphy, but it is standardized, beautiful, neat and generous, and it is the style that students must write when they are studying after the Ming Dynasty.

She has been practicing calligraphy in private for two or three years, and now it is a small success, anyway, it looks like a printed style, very neat and beautiful.

This is the secret weapon she specially prepared for the palace examination.
