Ye Chunqiu didn't know these discussions, after eating safe noodles, and checking the examination tools again, he said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said with a smile behind the counter: "Ye Yuan is the first small and medium-sized three yuan, and the small shop will be full of brilliance."

Ye Chunqiu would also smile lightly: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's auspicious words." After that, he carried Kaolan and led Ye San'er to the Tribute Courtyard.

In addition to the fierce officers and soldiers, there are candidates who come to take the examination in twos and threes, because it is still early, and there are not many candidates who are qualified to participate in the college examination, and the government examination students admitted by Ningbo Mansion this year are only about 300 people, so this time the examination is the most deserted.

But even so, the security here is much tighter.

Even the errand officer at the door had been replaced by someone from the provincial capital, and they determined Ye Chunqiu's identity, and in the hazy sky, someone carried a lantern to search for Ye Chunqiu, and then let Ye Chunqiu enter.

Because there are not many candidates, so the main examiner He Mao sits high in the Minglun Hall, the candidates have to go to see one by one, Ye Chunqiu entered the Minglun Hall, and saw He Mao surrounded by many officials, He Mao was dressed in a big red scarlet suit, with wings on his head, the lights in the Minglun Hall were bright, and the candle flame reflected his face so that he had a little blush, he had a good time to eat tea, Ye Chunqiu saluted and said: "Tongsheng Ye Chunqiu, meet the grandmaster." ”

Immediately, there was a school official on the side biting his ear in He Mao's ear, probably saying that this was Ye Chunqiu, the head of the county test and the government test.

He Mao was unmoved, his face was old-fashioned, his eyes only stayed on Ye Chunqiu's body for a moment, and then he said lightly: "This official has heard of your deeds, young people are calm and solemn, not impetuous." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the other children waiting outside were all squeezing their eyebrows, mentioning school is not only to manage your exams, but also to supervise the atmosphere of each school, to put it bluntly, but also to supervise the conduct of readers.

Ye Chunqiu just came to take the exam, this adult actually came to say that he should be calm and solemn, according to the theory of what is missing, you don't have anything to tell you, He Tixue felt that Ye was not calm and solemn enough, and he was too impetuous.

It seems that the rumors in the market are true, don't look at it as just a casual warning, but it is impossible to point at the nose and scold the mother as a dignified scholar, so the signal revealed is already very obvious.

Ye Chunqiu said: "Students remember. He wanted to complain a little in his heart, but he thought about it, he was here for the exam, and he still didn't want to make a fuss. He saluted again, and went to the ear room on the side to get the number plate.

He Mao's attitude made Ye Chunqiu a little vigilant, it seems that this time the exam will not be so smooth sailing, you must do better, don't let people seize the handle.

When he arrived at the examination shed, although the examination shed for the hospital examination was also simple, it was better than the treatment of the county examination and the government examination, it was no longer so cramped, and the location was acceptable, because it was necessary to take the examination for a few days in a row, so it was necessary to prepare for a protracted battle.

Ye Chunqiu rubbed his hands, prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, at this time the sky was not yet bright, although there were lanterns hanging here, but the light was still too dim, he simply sat dry, closed his eyes to recuperate.

When I heard the sound of the cannon, it was time to put the question, the sound of the rooster crowing in the distance, the dawn was revealed, and the slightest light that came out of the light broke through the hazy sky, and I saw that in the haze, the messenger holding up the wooden sign sang a promise to patrol back and forth, and on the wooden card was today's exam question: "It is better to believe in a book than to have no book." ”

After reading this exam question, Ye Chunqiu smiled dumbly, I'll go, the question is okay, but this question must be a little difficult for the candidates of the college exam.

These days, he has also studied some of the Four Books and Five Classics, so he has a rough understanding of the meaning of the scriptures. The eight-strand question, in fact, is nothing more than an excerpt of the passages of the Four Books and the Five Classics, the examiner with a good heart, simply lazy, directly excerpt a sentence, such as the three hundred poems of the child, such as learning and excellence, this kind of question is easier to test; The worse ones are not very face-saving, obviously a sentence of learning and excellence, he wants to intercept one of the paragraphs, such as learning and excellence, this is from the Analects of "Zixia said: 'Shi and excellent are learned, and learning and excellent are Shi. But the person who came up with the question didn't play like this, and he was shameless anyway, so he simply came up with a "Zi Xia said: learn and".

Of course, it's not that there are no shameless questions, just like this sentence is better than no book, this is a trap question, on the surface, if you follow this question to answer, you will definitely fall off the list.

Reading is the profession of a reader, if you don't even believe in books, you will take a wool test.

Therefore, in order to write such an article, the most important thing is to distinguish between believing and not believing, what book can not be believed, you have to pull someone out to criticize, what book can be believed? This involves the issue of your faith, you are a scholar, a saint, of course, you believe that you are a Confucian saint, a Meng saint and a Zhu saint, if you have to make a summary, then the idea of the whole text must be, except for Confucius, we don't recognize anyone.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help laughing, so he began to search for the light brain, this question is more out of the way, but even so, he still searched for more than 130 articles, this is because Chongzhen's four-year Ding Chouke will test this question, Ye Chunqiu almost without any suspense chose the eight-strand essay of Liu Tongsheng, the champion of Ding Chouke, so he started writing: "Books are indispensable, and Daxian is especially for those who believe......"

Every time I took the exam, it was a physical and mental torture, and I took the exam for three days in a row, and when the bangzi finally sounded, the three hundred or so people in the Gongyuan were driven out like cattle.

Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu has not grown a beard at this age, otherwise, like everyone else, his eyes are blank, his beard is unshaven, and the dirt on his body is three feet thick, so he is really no different from a beggar.

"Spring and autumn, spring and autumn." Someone behind him called him.

Ye Chunqiu stopped and looked back, and saw Chen Rong.

Chen Rong had long since lost the chic appearance when he entered the examination room, he smiled at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Is Chunqiu sure this time?" ”

Although this time was much more modest than before, Ye Chunqiu still saw the snort on his face.

"Anyway...... Why is he always so confident? Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still said, "Brother Chen, is there something?" ”

Chen Rong took a few steps forward and said, "How did you do in the exam?" How did you solve the problem? Ha...... Spring and Autumn Ah, this time the college examination is very important, the government examination, after all, is just a small test, the master of the school is enlightened, but it is not easy to fool, oh, do you know, when the school came to Ningbo, my father also went with the local officials to pick up the wind for him, and the school is very concerned about the candidates in Ningbo. ”

He said that he was very concerned, so he couldn't wait to tell Ye Chunqiu that he was very concerned about himself.
