Chapter 196: The Provincial Examination Kicks Off

With the help of the miraculous effect of ginseng, on the day of the provincial test, Li Dashou was finally able to get out of bed and was ready to refer to it.

Before dawn, someone brought them breakfast, and ate breakfast in a hurry, and at the fifth watch, the three of them came to the old Caomen Inn, which was a starting point, and all the candidates who lived near the old Caomen were gathered here, and were sent to the examination room outside the north city by ox carts or donkey carts.

"Da Shou, okay?" Fan Ning couldn't help but be a little worried about him when he saw Li Dashou's sallow face and poor spirits.

Li Dashou nodded, "After two days of rest, I feel much better, and I should be able to support it." ”

Fan Ning glanced at Su Liang again, "Xiao Su, check the floating ticket and see if you have brought it?" ”

Su Liang touched the floating ticket in his underwear pocket and nodded, he looked a little nervous and didn't even want to say more.

The three of them came to the old Caomen Inn, only to see that the door of the inn was brightly lit, and the door was full of candidates waiting to get on the bus, there were thousands of people, and the ox carts came quickly, and they left when they were full.

The inn also boiled hot water, and several guys beckoned the candidates to drink bowls of water before getting on the bus.

The provincial test is stricter than the solution test, even the kettle is not allowed to bring, each person can only carry a floating ticket, that is, the admission ticket, and the provincial test has no lunch and water supply, mainly to prevent candidates from taking the opportunity to cheat.

Some candidates are so thirsty that they can only drink ink, and when they leave the examination room, their lips have turned black, and they are grinning and full of big black teeth.

At this time, an ox cart stopped in front of them, and the coachman shouted: "Go to the East Examination Room, you can still sit three, do you want to sit or not, if you want to sit, get on the car quickly!" ”

They happened to be on their way to the East Examination Room, when Fanning glanced at the hot water stall not far away and asked, "Do you want to drink a bowl of water before leaving?" ”

The two shook their heads, "I've already drunk it before I go out, let's get in the car!" ”

The three men paid for the cart, and then lifted the curtain and got on the cart, which had a bench on the left and right, and could seat four people on each side, and five people were already sitting on the cart.

"Everyone sit down, let's go, I'll apply for the exam when I get to the place, everyone pay attention to getting off!"

The coachman flicked his whip, and the ox cart slowly started and drove towards the north gate.

The ox cart went out of the old city, entered the new Fengqiumen Street, only to see that the street was almost all ox carts, almost the entire capital of the ox carts were mobilized, forming a mighty ox cart brigade, each ox cart hung a lantern, looking at it from afar, like a starry star, the Milky Way was bright.

The carriage was bright and dark, and everyone pursed their lips without saying a word, making the atmosphere in the carriage seem oppressive and quiet.

After leaving the city and walking for several miles, the ox cart turned around and entered the examination room, and soon the first examination room arrived.

"Is there anything you want to go down to the examination room?" The coachman asked in a loud voice.

"Yes!" Fan Ning and Su Liang shouted, and the ox cart stopped.

Fan Ning said to Li Dashou: "It is estimated that we will not meet after the exam, let's go back to the residence and see you!" ”

Li Dashou nodded, "Fan Ning, Xiao Su, I wish you all a good performance!" ”

"Each other! Each other! ”

Fan Ning and Su Liang jumped out of the ox cart, waved their hands to Li Dashou, and then left the driveway and walked towards the gate of the examination room.

It has not yet reached the entrance time, but the gate has begun to have a physical examination, there are more than a dozen long queues, each person chooses a team according to their own test number, and after passing the examination, you can go in and wait, but you can't enter the examination account.

The provincial examination subjects are the same as the solution test, there are four exams, strategy questions, argumentative questions, silent scripture questions and poetry questions, a total of three days, the first day of the argumentative questions, the second day of the test of the strategy questions, the third day of the test of the meditation and poetry.

In the past, it was a three-day consecutive exam, and I slept in the examination room, but considering that the weather is now warm and cold, and the night is still relatively cold, it is inconvenient for the scholars to carry the bedding.

And it is easy to catch a cold at night, every time there are a large number of candidates who catch a cold, which seriously affects the imperial examination, under everyone's repeated appeals, there has been a change since this session, and the candidates can go back to the city every day to rest, which is conducive to the candidates to save their physical strength.

Fanning arrived relatively early, and they quickly lined up at the door, and a medical examiner said, "Next!" ”

Fanning saluted and handed the floating ticket to the examiner, who looked at the floating ticket and said, "Report your name, place of origin, and detailed home address." ”

"In Xia Fanning, a native of Pingjiang Prefecture, he lives in Jiangwan Village, Mudu Town, Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture."

The examiner nodded, looked at it carefully according to the characteristics of the items on the floating ticket, and said, "Turn around and show everyone!" ”

The provincial test implements a fraud reporting system, reports others for fraud, once verified, the whistleblower will be rewarded, generally directly through the primary selection, which is very attractive to the candidates, you know, the preliminary examination will be selected eighty percent of the candidates, there is this kind of examination, naturally everyone wants to be a whistleblower.

However, it is not okay to deliberately frame others, and the framer will also be directly disqualified from the exam.

Fan Ning stood opposite the crowd for five seconds, and the examiner waved his hand, "Go in and search your body!" ”

Fanning took the float ticket and the exam card and entered the gate, and the two soldiers carefully touched it from head to toe, and even took off their shoes and socks to check it, and then they passed the physical examination.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and compared with the reconciliation test, the inspection of the provincial test was much stricter.

Of course, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, and candidates always have a way to carry it, some people make a sandwich in their shoes, and some people stuff it directly into the valley road.

There was such an interesting incident, when a candidate searched his body, the paper scroll stuffed in the valley road accidentally slipped out, the candidate resolutely refused to admit it, and insisted that the candidate next to him threw it into his valley road, and the examiner asked him, 'You are facing down, and you are still through your pants, you can demonstrate it, let me see how to throw it in?' ’

Of course, this is not very common, and it can become a joke when it comes up once in a while.

Fan Ning waited for a while, and Su Liang also came in after the search, and complained with a dissatisfied face, "I suspect that these searching soldiers have a habit of breaking their sleeves!" ”

"You're being molested?" Fanning looked at him with a playful look in his eyes.

Su Liang's face flushed, "Don't mention it, it's disgusting to think about it!" ”

Su Liang was holding the exam card in his hand, and he didn't have the heart to check with Fan Ning whether the brand was auspicious at this time.

After all, this is a provincial exam, and being admitted means that they can get at least one of the same Jinshi backgrounds.

The provincial examination is also called the examination, which is the second pass of the imperial examination, and after the end of the provincial examination, there is a third level, that is, the palace examination, and the palace examination determines the grade of the winners, whether it is a jinshi and the first, or a jinshi origin, or a jinshi background.

However, the most important thing is the provincial examination, and the provincial examination in the examination is considered a jinshi, and as for the palace examination, it belongs to the icing on the cake for many candidates, and few people consider it at present.

After the medical examination, they could not enter the examination room immediately, and in an open space, thousands of soldiers were waiting patiently, and outside the barracks, more and more soldiers came from all directions, and there was a long queue outside the barracks.

At the end of the day, the loud bell rang, and when the time to enter the venue came, a large number of candidates walked towards their respective examination tents as the fences blocking the candidates were removed.

"Fanning, I'm waiting for you at the door after the exam!"

After Su Liang and Fan Ning made an appointment, they each went to the examination account, everyone had seen their big tent in advance, and they looked for a seat very quickly, and in just a moment, Fan Ning found his own examination account.

Two thousand seven hundred and eighty-six, Fanning walked into the big tent and saw his seat at a glance, the last one in the upper right corner, this one is okay, at least not in the middle, a little easier.

Fan Ning saw Liu Ran's seat, he was in the upper left corner, three seats away from himself, at this time, Liu Ran had not yet come, there were only three or four people in the big tent, and everyone was looking at their tables and chairs curiously.

The table is relatively large, far away from the adjacent seats, and the candidate's test number is pasted in the upper right corner of each table, and there is a basket on the table, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and all the items needed for the exam are readily available in the basket.

The provincial test does not need to grind the ink yourself, and there is a porcelain bowl on each table, which is filled with ink.

At this time, Fanning turned his eyes and suddenly found that the candidate sitting in front of him was secretly pulling out a dozen slender and long silk cloths from the soles of his shoes, and the silk cloth was full of dense handwriting.

Fanning's eyes widened, this candidate is very cunning! During the body search, I also checked the shoes, and pinched them specially, if there is paper hidden in the interlayer, it is easy to feel, but if the silk cloth is hidden, it is difficult to be found.

But Fanning is a little strange, today is not the Kaumer Sutra, but the argumentative essay, what's the point of hiding the note?

Perhaps this candidate prepared more than a dozen argumentative essays, and he couldn't memorize them for a while, so he thought of entrainment.

The candidate was trembling with nervousness, and while pulling strips of cloth, he looked to both sides, and when he turned around, he saw Fanning, only to see the candidates in the back row staring at him with wide eyes.

There was a panic in his heart, and his eyes looked at Fanning pleadingly.

Fanning didn't bother to pay attention to him, sat down in his seat, and waited patiently for the exam to come.
