Chapter Eighty-Eight: Writing
Fang Xiaoli took the 'nameplate' and passed between the two soldiers and entered the 'Jingshi Hall'. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he came in, Fang Xiaoli immediately felt different, even in the air, there was a heroic aura of a scholar.
Fang Xiaoli instantly understood.
"After all, this was once a Confucius School, and from the time of Confucius to the present, a thousand years have passed, and in this process, the heroic spirit accumulated by the scholars is naturally terrifying. ”
Fang Xiaoli smiled slightly, and the aura of Haoran here seemed to be closer to him, making him like a spring breeze.
He swept it away, and there were soldiers guarding the entire Jingshi Hall, and everyone was very strong.
"I'm afraid this is to prevent the destruction of the demon clan, after all, they are all students, the pillars of the court in the future, if something happens here, it will be a huge blow to the entire Kaiyuan Dynasty. ”
"By the way, which district are you from?"
"Me, in Zone B. ”
"Unfortunately, I'm in District D. ”
"It turns out that Brother Tai is the same as me, and I am also in District D, when I came, I heard people say that District D is over there, let's go together. ”
"Everyone, pay attention, A, B, C, D conform to the four districts of the southeast, northwest, find your test area, and take a seat as soon as possible. A soldier spoke.
When Fang Xiaoli heard this, he walked towards the west, and soon found Area C.
After finding his place, Fang Xiaoli sat down, and then began to check the things on the table.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, water, and a piece of clean rice paper.
Rice paper is used for drafting, while water is used to clean the pen.
On both sides of his seat, they are separated by low walls, and when he sits down, the two sides cannot meet each other, but as the chief examiner, he can have an unobstructed view.
In addition, the walls were uniformly whitewashed, leaving no dirt on them, and soon after Fang Xiaoli took his seat, hundreds of people came in one after another.
Each district can accommodate about 250 people.
Within half an hour, candidates walked in one after another.
Fang Xiaoli inspected them one by one and found that some of the people who came in looked sluggish, weakly walked to their positions, and after sitting down, they were motionless and had words in their mouths.
Fang Xiaoli sighed, this person is afraid that he is temporarily cramming, and there is almost no possibility of being on the list.
The imperial examination is not different from ordinary examinations, especially in such a formal and formal examination room, no matter how hard you work on weekdays, but here, psychological pressure can also become a burden.
In the following time, Fang Xiaoli continued to observe.
I found that some people looked indifferent, but they lacked the spirit on their bodies, I am afraid that they are brave enough, but they are not very knowledgeable in reading.
Not long after, Fang Xiaoli found that a person came in, almost hugging him back and forth, while the person in the middle, Qi Yu Xuanang, eyebrows looked straight ahead, and even raised slightly, never looking down at the ground.
"The gentleman saw from a distance, this person is upright, maybe he is a fierce enemy, but he doesn't know who he is......"
At this moment, the man's eyes also fell on Fang Xiaoli's body, he was slightly stunned, and then his head was immediately bowed.
"Brother Zhong, who is that person?"
"I don't know. ”
"And how do you nod to him?"
"There is a strange feeling that this year's imperial examination may be very interesting......"
The people around the man spoke.
"Brother Zhong...... Could it be Zhong Mingyi?" Fang Xiaoli thought for a while and said in his heart, "It should be him, the surname Zhong is rare, especially if he is a scholar." ”
And those people around him should all think that Zhong Mingyi must be on the emperor's list, and now he is stammering and negotiating in order to pave the way for the future. ”
......
"Brother, who are you?
At this time, a man of about the same age in the seat next to Fang Xiaoli spoke.
"Hanshan Town, Fang Xiaoli. ”
"My man, Chen Hao. After the man finished speaking, he just sat back in his position and stopped talking, obviously in his heart, there were no powerful characters in Hanshan, and it was not worth stammering.
After another half a minute, all the seats in Area C were empty, or there were urgent matters, or they were directly absent from the exam.
At this time, four civil officials walked in from outside, dressed in official robes, Fang Xiaoli looked at it, and the four of them were upright.
Next, a civil official stepped forward to read out a series of model texts such as the code of conduct and the code of conduct for scientific research.
After listening to it, Fang Xiaoli summed it up in four words - 'Don't cheat.' ’
In the following time, the four examiners began to distribute the examination papers.
When Fang Xiaoli received the test paper, he spread out the entire paper, and there was still a long part left outside.
"This imperial examination is a total of three days, so there is no hurry. ”
Fang Xiaoli had a conclusion, and began to slowly review the test papers, generally the papers are jointly written by the 'Taixue Palace' and 'Dongshufu', and the review, there are few mistakes, but Fang Xiaoli has a habit of working slowly and carefully. Perhaps in the later text, there are also clues from the previous article.
After such an examination, it turned out that it took more than half a day, and even the examiner did not notice that Fang Xiaoli passed by.
Yan Zhishi is nearly forty years old, thirty and two became Jinshi, entered the court as an official, has been more than seven years, after two imperial examinations, counting this time, a total of three.
This year, he was assigned to Zone C.
In the entire C area, the only noteworthy is Zhong Mingyi, if he can enter the imperial examination this time, he will definitely be accepted into the sect and become a disciple.
And the rest of the people, before they came in to examine, already had a general understanding, and I am afraid that no one can be above Zhong Mingyi.
And the same names as Zhong Ming, 'Su Zhiming' and 'Shangguan Ji' were obviously assigned to another area, and they were not allowed to be on the same scene, otherwise there was a great possibility of chaos.
He looked at each candidate one by one, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he fell on Fang Xiaoli.
Haven't started writing yet?
This is not uncommon, but it gives Yan Zhishi a delusion.
It didn't seem like he was going to give up the exam, because he was different from the candidates who had often abandoned the exam, his expression was very natural, as if he was studying, there was no pressure, and his brows furrowed from time to time, revealing a sense of thought.
"Fang Xiaoli?"
Yan Zhishi saw Fang Xiaoli's name from the test paper, and remembered in his heart, maybe this year's imperial examination will kill a dark horse.
When Fang Xiaoli thoroughly examined it, he found that it was close to dusk, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Did time pass so quickly?"
At this time, he noticed that the food on the side of the table had cooled, and then he felt that his stomach was a little empty, so he picked up two steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth, and drank a few sips of water.
These are all prepared by the imperial court in advance for candidates and examiners to enjoy, after all, for three days, they are not allowed to leave the examination room, and all meals can only be simple.
And when Fang Xiaoli was eating, the sound of someone complaining sounded in his ears from time to time.
"Why is this question so difficult, I haven't even touched it before, it's over, there must be no hope this time......"
"This arithmetic problem is also ...... Multiplication and division of three-digit numbers...... How long will this be calculated, even if three days are spent on this question, and this question is barely answered correctly, there is no other time to do the following questions......"
There is also this question and answer, Confucius once lobbied the six countries, so what is the order of these six countries...... How do I know? ”
"I don't take the ...... test"
If someone abandons the test in advance, and once they leave the examination room, they will be deemed to have voluntarily handed in the test paper and will not be allowed to return to the examination room.
Naturally, if you want to do it conveniently, it is a different matter, with a special examiner to follow, even if you sleep at night, you can only lie on the table.
Fang Xiaoli looked at the past, Zhong Ming calmly answered the exam questions, and did not show embarrassment.
Slowly, the sky was completely dark, and at this time, in the middle of the air, a light suddenly lit up, like day, and all the candidates couldn't help but look up.
"That's the 'Figuring Light Pearl'!"
Fang Xiaoli had hiked, naturally heard of the Dingguang Pearl, this bead is the size of a head, crystal clear, but it needs to be continuously injected with Wenqi, once used, it is like daytime, and the Wenqi stops, Dingguang Zhu becomes an ordinary bead, never thought that this 'Dingguang Pearl' will be seen in the imperial examination.
At this time, Fang Xiaoli began to grind, and finally was ready to start writing.
