Chapter 399: Township Test
Zhu Hao threw a few questions in front of Sun Ru: "I must write all the articles tonight, and I will explain them to you again tomorrow, I want to drink...... Wait until the end of the township test before drinking. Even if you drink to death, no one cares about you! ”
"Woo ......"
Sun Ru has a sense of awe for Zhu Hao in the end.
I was almost about to be coquettish in front of Zhu Hao.
Even if he pretended to be a grandson, Zhu Hao was unmoved.
"You and I wrote together, a total of twelve questions, this is very similar to the question I gave to Gongsun Fengyuan three years ago, do you know what the result was in that session?"
Zhu Hao encouraged Sun Ru.
Tell him that there is a good example ahead.
Sun Ru was disgraced: "How knowledgeable is Mr. Gongsun? I was able to pass the college exam, but it was purely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. Sir, can I go to my appointment tonight and come back tomorrow? ”
"No way!"
Zhu Hao scolded sharply, "If you don't listen to me in the past two days, I will let you think about it behind closed doors for half a year after you return to Anlu...... Let your mother lock you up in the attic and never see the sun all day long...... Give it a try! ”
"Huh?"
When Sun Ru heard this, he was stunned.
Think about it now, as long as you work hard for two more days, you can avoid being locked up in a small dark room for half a year...... It seems like it's worth it.
So I picked up the blank paper with the title written on it and studied it with a hard face.
"As a teacher, I won't go anywhere for these two days, I will study with you, and I must hold candles until late at night every day, and if you don't bring your belongings, I will have someone pick them up...... You and I can just go into the exam room together! ”
Zhu Hao's meaning, don't leave these two days, our teachers and students just wait for the afternoon of the eighth day of August to enter the examination room together.
Sun Ru raised his head and glared at Zhu Hao with resentful eyes, like a bad student who wanted to go out to have fun every day but was punished by the teacher, but in order not to be locked in the small black room for the next half a year, he could only give in.
……
……
Whether it is useful to cramming Buddha feet temporarily, Zhu Hao does not know.
"Township Test Record" should be effective in the 11th year of Zhengde's township test, but in the 14th year of Zhengde, there may be certain changes due to the butterfly effect, Zhu Hao just held the attitude of trying it out, and conducted pre-exam training for Sun Ru.
Counting on Sun Ru to rely on his own knowledge to pass this township test, the chance is basically zero.
That's still the old way, give a topic, let him try to write an article first, and then point out the advantages and disadvantages, help him sort out his ideas, or simply write a model essay and teach him some sentences in the way of eight-strand duality......
In general, it is to let Sun Ru have his own ideas, for the outline of his article and the direction of the discussion, Zhu Hao pointed out, the framework is Sun Ru's, but the details are scrutinized and supplemented by Zhu Hao, and he can't be expected to memorize a few articles like Gongsun Yi, the focus is still ...... a few topics recorded in the "Township Test Record", although it seems deliberate, but it can only be so.
In this way, the master and apprentice retreated until the eighth day of the eighth month.
Early in the morning of the same day, the servants of the Sun family, who came to the provincial capital to take the township test with Sun Ru, came over to deliver things, which were thick clothes and iron pots prepared for Sun Ru.
In the examination room, the examination booth will be locked.
However, the number rooms in the examination shed will not be locked, and they cannot be locked.
In the dormitory, a charcoal brazier will be prepared for heating and cooking, and basically no one cares what the candidates do in the dormitory.
As long as you can hand in your answer sheet when you hand in the paper, even if you have the ability to bring the cheat sheet into it and finally burn it in the charcoal brazier, you are considered to have the ability.
For articles that you don't know the topic, bring a cheat sheet...... I'm afraid it's hard to find a way to cheat, right?
What to bring in?
With a set of notes?
Or do you want to bring all four books into it?
Therefore, the biggest problem of fraud in the field is to leak the questions in advance, and at the level of the township examination, it is the collusion between the inner curtain official and the outer curtain official, and the exam questions are released to the candidates in advance, so that they can prepare......
Again, since there is a deliberate cheating, it is best to memorize the article well.
You have the ability to get the exam questions in advance, and find someone to help you write the article, why don't you memorize it, not to mention the great risk of entering the venue, and it will leave people with "criminal evidence"?
The Ming Dynasty with a cheat sheet in the Eight Shares of the Scholar can almost be said to be the stupidest way to cheat.
……
……
Zhu Hao and Sun Ru entered the venue to prepare a lot of things.
Mainly the first three days of eating.
In addition to dry food, you also need to bring some soup and water, when the pot is hot, you can eat, a small pot, plus a shelf for burning the fire, the fire fold also needs to be brought, candles are not allowed, and the examination room will be distributed, but only one is given for an exam, and the kettle must be carried.
Papyrus paper is allowed, but there must not be a single word on it, and no more than ten sheets, and handkerchiefs are not allowed...... If you are not feeling well and vomit and diarrhea when you enter the examination room, you can only solve it with the sleeves or hem of your clothes, or simply by the crotch of your pants...... The optimal solution is to give up this township test in time.
As for the food to be brought, the general candidates bring dried rice, add a little water, and you can eat pickles when it is hot, and eat enough before entering the venue...... It is not to enter the examination room to enjoy life, but to have the strength to answer the questions.
Zhu Hao's side.
First fried some eggs, plus dried meat, water, vegetables, and originally wanted to bring some fruit, but when I wanted to search, the fruit would be pinched one by one by the officials who searched it...... Zhu Hao lost his interest in eating.
As for the rice soup...... Who knows if those officials will reach into the jar to see if there is any entrainment? Besides, the rice soup is stored for a short period of time, and it will inevitably rot after three days.
Except for the food that you can see at a glance if there is anything hidden, those flashy things are not brought.
It is rumored that some candidates complained about the Jiangnan Township Examination that year, the first exam was cold because of the weather, and they wore a thick clothes to go in, but the result was as hot as a dog, sweating profusely, and the second game was obedient and cooler, and it turned out to be rainy, and almost did not freeze to death......
Therefore, the kind of clothing that pays attention to the thin inside and thick on the outside, and can be taken off after entering.
……
……
It was afternoon.
Zhu Hao and Sun Ru are about to enter the examination room.
Zhu Hao conducted a surprise investigation of Sun Ru in advance, and found that Sun Ru did not say that he had forgotten all the articles he had written in the previous two days, so he asked him to take a carriage with him to the Gongyuan.
Along the way, you can see a lot of people going to the exam room.
Generally in the examination of the talented, the family situation will be improved to a certain extent, there are not a few people who take the carriage, but more walking, many people with domestic servants and children when entering the venue, after noon, the Gongyuan has been opened, allowing candidates to enter, but not in an individual way, but in the state and county Confucian Department of the candidates division, gathered to enter.
The township test is different from the general children's exam, there is no way to sing and protect here, and you can't find anyone to prove that these candidates are themselves.
Then we can only use the way of examinees proving each other, how many examinees are drawn by a county, and testifying to each other is the person, which is equivalent to "mutual association" in disguise.
However, if the candidate who came with you is not himself, and you have made perjury, then it will be a big trouble.
In the procedures such as the road guide led by each candidate, the candidate's physical appearance will also be described, but unfortunately there is no photo this year, and there is not even a portrait on the road guide, only a general indication of the candidate's appearance, if there is a person with obvious marks on the face, it is good to judge, but if not...... It's hard to tell who's who just by looking at the description.
The entry was smooth.
Zhu Hao and Sun Ru registration time is different, the first examination room is not the same place, this time the Huguang Township examination because of the perennial Nanjing Guozijian candidates to participate, plus the students who have passed the scientific examination and the posthumous examination in various places, the number of candidates is enough three or four thousand......
Three or four thousand people competed for seventy or eighty places, which itself was a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops.
Zhu Hao's house, divided into "T-shaped three land", a very long examination shed can not see the head at a glance, much larger than the examination shed of Anlu local children's examination, the road is very narrow, and it is one-sided, that is to say, you can only see the wall of the opposite building, which is very different from the Anlu examination shed set up opposite the middle, the layout is very wide.
In the afternoon, the door of the examination shed will be locked, and the building will be separated by a brick wall, and it will not be locked, and candidates need to hang their own oilcloth as a curtain to prevent wind and rain.
Before Zhu Hao came to the examination room that day, he had already eaten, and he didn't have to think about eating at night.
Arrange your things and tidy them up a bit.
There are a total of four objects in the building.
A brazier with charcoal in it, if lit, it is estimated that it can burn for half a night, unless it is very cold, or you need to answer questions overnight, then you can't use it for the time being.
Two planks of wood are put together to form a bed when sleeping, one of which is placed on a low place to become a stool when not sleeping, and the other is placed on a high place to become a table.
There is also a toilet in the building.
But the toilet can only be used to urinate and is covered with a lid.
If you want to defecate, you must go to the innermost part of the examination booth near the wall, where there will be a "thatched house".
The public thatched hut is located in the corner of the examination shed, perhaps considering that the temperature in August is still relatively high, and the smell of the thatched hut is too great, so there is no candidate arranged in the innermost part of the examination shed.
Candidates have been arranged in advance of the examination shed and number room, at least do not have to worry about the situation that they will be assigned to the "dung number" and "stinky number" when they enter the examination room late as in historical rumors.
After the candidates enter the dormitory, they can stay inside as much as possible before the end of an exam.
Eat less food, drink less water, and if you can go without a tuba for three days, if you have to go, you must get the consent of the people who patrol the venue before you can go.
The house is very narrow, the depth is about one meter five, the width is more than one meter, an adult sleeps in it, to curl up and lie down, which shows that the conditions are still quite difficult, if you can take the exam early, you will not have to experience this kind of disaster once in three years.
Heat stroke and sudden death in the township examination are not uncommon in previous township examinations.
Legend has it that in the 28th year of Guangxu, in the Fujian Township Examination, due to the hot weather, the candidates fell ill from heat stroke, and four people died in the examination room at the beginning; Three more died in the second scene. In the same year, three candidates met the king of Hades, "one died of a snake, one stabbed himself with a candlestick, and the other crushed his testicles."
The situation of the Daming Township test is not much better.
