Chapter 70: Autumn Siege

The township examination is held by the south, the north and the north of the Zhili and the local examination held by the political envoys, the location is in the south, Beijing government, the residence of the political envoys, once every three years, also called the township, the examination site is called the Gongyuan, because the examination period is in the autumn in August, so it is also called the autumn court.

The so-called grinding guns in battle, not fast or light, Chen Yuan is still blind to the imperial examination.

For a month, I didn't have time to read a book, but the sweet potatoes grew well under careful care, and the long vines could be transplanted soon.

On the fifth watch day of the ninth day of the eighth month, when many people were still asleep, Chen Yuan was woken up by Bao joining the army, and the two suffering brothers were forced to enter the examination room after being beaten to death.

Chen Yuanhun didn't care about the result, Bao had been with a bitter face and went to death with a bitter face, so he must have been scolded at home.

When they arrived at the examination room, they found that there were already many candidates waiting in line to enter the venue, which really responded to the poem: Mo Daojun walked early, and there were even more early pedestrians.

Among the candidates, there are twelve or thirteen-year-old boys, and there are gray-haired old students.

The hardships of the imperial examination have endured a scholar's life and a scholar for thousands of years.

Fan Jinzhongju is the best portrayal, that is still his luck, he went crazy later, in fact, it is more, he has been tested for a lifetime or is still a child.

There was no time to sigh, watching everyone gear up and eager to try, Bao joined the army and said bitterly: "Look at their high spirits, where do you know the pain that we can't learn." ”

Chen Yuan thought to himself, when you play with women, others are studying hard in the cold window, how do you know how much others have paid. smiled: "It's okay, don't you still have me to accompany you at the bottom." ”

"That's just as well." Bao Senjun nodded seriously and said strangely, "I said Chen Yuan, why are you not worried at all, so calm." ”

"I know that I can't pass the exam, what else can I be nervous about." The imperial examination is about answering questions, responding to strategies, there are no multiple-choice questions, it is impossible to dream of doing everything right, and Meng's whole is in the middle school.

Bao Senjun was stunned for a long time and muttered, "That makes sense." ”

They yawned, waiting at the back of the line to enter the venue, around half past four in the morning, the sky was hazy and bright, the door of the examination room was finally opened, and the candidates entered the venue in turn, and there was a search responsible for checking the candidates, in addition to the examination basket, they would also search their bodies to prevent the candidates from being entrained. After touching the whole body, Bao Senjun was afraid of itching, laughed, and shouted: "Serious, otherwise you will withdraw from the exam." Bao joined the army with crooked eyebrows and squeezed his eyes, and endured it very hard.

Because it was so strict, the entry was very slow, Chen Yuan waited for nearly half an hour to be able to enter, searched his body, and groped for a long time before humming: "Go in." ”

The seat numbers of the exam are all arranged, Chen Yuan found his place to sit down, fortunately, this position is not bad, neither too inside, nor too outside, because the light is too poor inside, if it is too rainy and windy outside, it is quite troublesome for the rain to drift in, once the test paper is dirty, but the results will be invalidated.

Even if it is the Gongyuan in Nanjing, the eaves effect is not so good, the paper-paste windows, the place that can accommodate thousands of people, the room separated by wooden boards for each candidate, the ground is mud, but there is no cement floor, and some of the water is moldy, even if you see rats during the exam, it is not a new thing.

In addition, the worst location of feng shui is naturally the smelly number, close to the location of the latrine, the smell of the smell, hehe, cool, really smell the fragrance like a spring.

At six o'clock in the morning, three bangs rang, and the exam officially began.

Candidates are not in a hurry to do the questions when they get the test papers, they calmly grind the ink, pick up the pen and fill in their names and seat numbers outside the sealing line, and then start to read the questions.

Chen Yuan, a fake scholar, also pretended, and the examiner patrolled back and forth, seeing where the candidates behaved wrongly, they would scold, never knowing that this would disturb the candidates.

Looking at the question, there are two questions. The first question: the people are incompetent; Towering, its success is also, and it has articles.

Chen Yuan blinked, okay, you win, give up.

Let's look at the second way: Li Baiyue wears a palace brocade robe at night, boating and quarrying, endowed with Gu Zhan and a smile, and no one is around.

Write Fu, well, or you won. It's really the right to experience in the examination room, and I gave the old lady an explanation.

I sat bored, counted two thousand sheep, and counted three thousand dumplings, and it was not yet noon. smiled bitterly in his heart, the traverser was holding Wang Fang in his hand, and he was a pair of four in his hand, and he couldn't win if he didn't find the first move. How difficult it is to integrate into a place, the six hundred years of knowledge in my mind is of a fart for the imperial examination, I can't write a few English, write a sentence long live my emperor.

Finally, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, people began to hand in the papers, and Chen Yuan also handed in the papers when he saw this, of course, it was a blank paper. Fortunately, it was not the Sui Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty had to eat ink as a punishment for handing over the white papers in the imperial examination. The self-owned clerk takes away the test paper and sends it to the sealing place to seal it, which is the so-called pasted name, and seals the candidate's name to show notarization, and the seal will be opened after the paper is changed.

Candidates who have submitted their papers in advance cannot leave the examination room immediately, and must wait at the exit of the examination room.

After the first exam, Bao Senjun saw Chen Yuan, so he came up with a bitter face: "How is it?" ”

"The name is finished." Chen Yuan exhaled turbidity.

Bao was stunned at first, and then smiled, his sad face disappeared, and his small eyes narrowed into a slit.

There are three exams in Autumn Wai and one on August 12 and August 15.

After handing in three blank rolls, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the exam, it will take at least half a month before the list will be released, and this half month, before the results come out, you can relax. If you win, you have to continue to prepare for the exam next spring, and if you don't win, then think about your future plans.

Out of the examination room, everyone discussed in twos and threes, thinking that they had done well in the exam, discussing the topic with others, telling their own opinions, and those who did poorly shook their heads and sighed, and quietly walked out of the crowd. Some went out of the examination room and fainted directly, while others cried loudly.

Joining the army is also sad, since the exam, the management of students is very strict, and Qinhuai River is not allowed to go. He is a person who can't stand loneliness, and when he finally finishes the exam and has three blank papers, he can imagine that even if he doesn't break his leg when he goes back, he won't want to go out within half a year.

said goodbye to Chen Yuan sullenly and went home.

Chen Yuan didn't care about the imperial examination, the imperial examination was not going through, and there were other roads. No matter how hard it is, he has a goal to strive for, Wu Yuehe has been in the palace for a month, and in the past few days, Li Shimian and an official from the Ministry of Rites are the chief examiners. Unexpectedly, there was no chaos, and I don't know if Wang Jinghong gave up or had other plans.

According to the past, he was just trying to survive, but now, he still has to use planting and fame to have the capital to negotiate with Zhu Zhanji.

Negotiate with the future Emperor! Chen Yuan squinted at the sky, indicating that the pressure was great.

Of course, this is still far away. What I have to do now is to face the marriage contract with Dong Mingyan.

Divorced?

Man, I really hate to do multiple-choice questions.
