Chapter 365: Spring Dawn
In the first exam, there are three questions in the four books, and there are four questions in each of the "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".
There is quite a lot of content in this exam, Su Yizhao looked at the first four-book question.
"Standing is to see that it is involved in the front, and it is also seen in public opinion, and it is seen that it is relying on Hengye, and the husband will do it."
Su Yizhao couldn't be more familiar with this sentence, from "The Analects of Wei Ling".
This article has to be written in combination with the previous and subsequent texts, and Su Yizhao wrote the draft on the draft first.
"But the faith of words and deeds is not believed without servants, so what they do is unstoppable. Gai is faithful and respectful, and his words and deeds are also natural."
This question is a bit easy and not difficult, so Su Yizhao quickly completed the article.
Without stopping, with a little polishing, I copied it on the test paper.
The answer format of the four book questions is very rigorous, there are three questions in total, Su Yizhao glanced at the questions below, except for the last one which is slightly difficult, the above two questions are simply easy for her.
At noon, Su Yizhao ate steamed buns and tea eggs, and ate a meal to minimize the number of times he went to the toilet.
Although there is no need to record the number of toilet visits this time, it still left a shadow on Su Yizhao before.
Meng Lingxi glanced at the number house diagonally opposite, this time in the examination, he was very close to Su Yizhao's number house.
Watching Su Yizhao use the food slowly and methodically, he buried his head and glanced at the scroll.
After the examination, it is the palace examination, and the hope of the whole clan is in him, and even the teacher has recently mentioned his face, so he naturally does not dare to be sloppy.
A little upset, he put down his pen after only writing the four-book question once.
It turns out that Su Yizhao's influence on him is already so deep, what is the difference between this and surrendering without a fight?
Su Yizhao wrote two articles before noon, both of which were unhurried, and after eating, she stood up and moved a little in the house.
I touched the clothes on my body, but I felt tight and uncomfortable.
She wore a custom-made leather jacket inside, and also stuffed a little fabric into her abdomen.
As long as you don't stare at it carefully, you won't be able to find the clue at all.
The inspector stared closely at Su Yizhao's every move, and seemed to have some doubts about her actions.
Su Yizhao moved for a moment, and then spliced the planks together.
There is also a wooden door in front of the number building in the capital, which is closed during the exam, but there is a window in front of it.
It's no different from going to prison, and it's even much smaller than a cell.
Closing the wooden board on the window, Su Yizhao planned to take a nap.
She took this opportunity to take off her leather clothes and put them in the storage space, because they had to fit her skin, it was very tight, and she was a little out of breath.
The first exam lasted three days, and after handing in the papers on the third day, I still couldn't go out of the dormitory, and even the rest could only be in the dormitory, but the door didn't need to be closed.
In the second session, there will be one examination of the theory, one Zhao, one Edict, and one table, as well as five judgment questions.
After the exam, although he was allowed to hand in the papers in advance, he still had to stay in the dormitory, which was simply torture for Su Yizhao.
"The Saint Establishes the Way of Heaven"
This thesis is from the "Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor: Taoism", but it is not the original text, but a summary of one of the contents, similar to those of the four books.
This question took some time, and after Su Yizhao finished thinking about it, he began to write.
"The reason why heaven is heaven is heaven is because of its avenue. Why? Gong also. The reason why a saint is a saint is also a great way. Why? The prince of the law and heaven also. ”
I had just written two sentences, and I found that the brush dipped in ink turned out to be a little stiff.
With a sigh, Su Yizhao put down the brush and rubbed his hands.
The weather in February was very cold, and Su Yizhao wore several single clothes, but his hands were still a little stiff.
Glancing at the inkstone, the ink that had been ground before was a little frozen.
She thought for a moment and lit the coals in the small tandoor.
The charcoal in this has been replaced by silver frost charcoal by her, there is no way, and she can't be blamed for luxury.
In this small space, there is no ventilation. If you use the charcoal given here, the smell is really unbearable, and you may even be poisoned!
After lighting the small tandoor, Su Yizhao boiled hot water. Later, you will have to use a bowl of hot water and put the inkstone on it.
This method is very good, with hot steam, the ink in the inkstone is indeed not so easy to freeze.
After writing three articles as quickly as possible, Su Yizhao was able to put down his pen.
She was able to light charcoal at such a luxurious moment, and the candidates in the other dormitories were shivering with cold.
There was only a thin quilt in the house, and the imperial court stipulated that only single clothes were allowed to be worn for the examination to facilitate searches. But even after wearing four or five pieces, they still felt cold.
The cold and narrow number house, which can't see the sun all year round, makes people cold to the bone.
Using a wooden board to block the window, Su Yizhao took out a thick quilt from the space and put it on the bed board.
took another bed and covered it, Su Yizhao lay on the soft bed, and then he felt warm.
Anyway, she didn't light a candle, and even if someone looked inside, they couldn't see inside.
It's just that I pity those candidates, I'm afraid that I can't sleep because of the cold. I didn't expect it to be late February, and it could be so cold.
After staying in the dormitory for six days in a row, even Su Yizhao was very tired when the third exam began.
The buns and tea eggs I brought were put away, and the two days I cooked rice and instant noodles were all boiled to warm up my body.
With storage space, even in such an environment, Su Yizhao didn't lose his mouth too much.
The storage space also has a fresh-keeping function, and there is a lot of food in it, but unfortunately Su Yizhao didn't dare to take out those delicacies.
The fragrance can't be hidden, and it's easy to attract the attention of others.
After eating instant noodles, Su Yizhao exercised as usual, planning to think about the next strategy for a while.
The third test is a strategy question, with a total of five questions.
Even the title is sprinkled with a large article, "The transmission of the sages and sages is the same." The son of Confucius, the son of Zengzi."
On February 16, the weather was suddenly cold and even snowed.
In previous years, although this time will fall, it is definitely not so cold.
There is only a small tandoor in this house, and Su Yizhao has not shied away from it for the past two days, and the charcoal fire has not stopped.
"Sir! It's too cold this day, so let's put it on! ”
Su Huai looked at Su Jinxun, who was about to climb into the carriage, and hurriedly stepped forward to drape the big coat on his body.
The old lady straightened out her court clothes, and then looked up at the sky.
The sky above the palace was gray, and the snowflakes that had fallen became dense.
"Xiao Qi's body has been weak since he was a child, and it has been so cold for the past two days."
He didn't dare to think that it was not unusual for any dynasty and generation to have candidates who were frozen to death in the examination room.
Not to mention, at the time of Emperor Gaozu, there was a heavy snowfall in the spring one year, and more than a dozen candidates were carried out of the dragon gate after the exam.
After contracting the wind and cold, several people died.
"Master, don't worry too much, the seventh young master has already recovered his body bones in the past two years, and he rarely gets infected with wind and cold."
Su Huai was also a little worried, but he was still relieved.
However, what Su Yizhao is facing at this moment is not cold, but a matter of life and death.
