22 county examinations

The next day, before dawn, Anchu Xia woke up in a daze when he heard the sound of someone walking in the yard.

Hearing Gu Fangmiao's even breathing, she didn't light the lamp, took her clothes from the bedside, fumbled to put them on, opened the door and walked out.

"Xiao Xia, you're awake, isn't our movement too loud and noisy to you." Gu asked, sticking his head out of the kitchen with his hands covered in flour.

"There is no master, and the time is not early, we should also get up."

An Chuxia walked into the kitchen and saw that Gu was making cakes, and asked puzzledly: "My wife got up so early to make cakes!" ”

An Chuxia, who had not personally experienced the ancient examinations, had not yet realized the cruelty of the ancient imperial examinations.

Gu shoveled the last few cakes out of the pot and put them in the basin, and then replied, "Because you are not allowed to go to the clean room during the exam, you are not allowed to eat and drink much in the morning."

So bring food and water and wait until it's time to rest.

In this way, even if there is any inconvenience, bear with it, and the county exam is almost over. ”

An Chuxia not only saw Gu Shi in the kitchen, but also saw An Jinchen who was burning the fire in front of the stove, "Brother, you also got up so early?!" ”

Gu Shi pushed An Chuxia and handed her a basin of warm water, "Hurry up and take it out to wash!"

Your brother got up earlier than me, just to give you a few pieces of delicious braised pork to take and eat in the bread. ”

After saying that, Gu went to the Westinghouse to pull out his little lazy thing from the bed.

"Stinky girl, get up quickly, people can't sleep nervously during the exam.

You're fine, you sleep like a piglet, and you need someone to bark! ”

Gu Fangmiao sat up according to the strength of the Gu clan, and stretched her waist by the way, and then said unexpectedly: "Grandmother, it was because I was too nervous to sleep last night that I woke up late today."

If it weren't for Sister An falling asleep last night, I might not be able to get up today. ”

Gu Shi nodded his granddaughter's forehead with his fingers, and said with a look of hatred: "You are embarrassed to say, get up quickly!" Your sister Ann is almost done washing.

When the time comes, because you have lost time, see how your grandfather cleans you up! ”

Thinking of her grandfather's black face, Gu Fangmiao put on her clothes, and when Gu saw her granddaughter get up, she walked out of the room to do something else.

Gu Fangmiao combed her hair and just walked out of the house when she saw Runsong carrying a basin of warm water and walking towards her, "Miss Gu, I'll put the warm water on the wooden shelf, you go wash up!" ”

Gu Fangmiao scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xu, you don't have to be so polite, I... I'll just do it myself! ”

Runsong looked at the little girl who had just woken up, her rosy cheeks, and her eyes flashed, "It's okay, hurry up and wash it!"

And you can also call me Brother Runsong like Xiao Xia, you don't need to call me by surname. ”

After saying that, he put the basin on the washstand, and with the tips of his ears red, he hurried out of the hall.

Gu Fangmiao looked at Xu Runsong's broad back, and muttered a little inexplicably, "Brother Xu, what's wrong, how does it feel weird!" ”

After An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao finished washing, they solved their personal problems, and then they took the examination basket and sat on the ox cart, and were sent to the county examination room by Runsong and An Jinchen under the eyes of their families.

When we arrived at the test venue, there were already many students and their families who had come to take the test.

At this time, the sky was already a little cloudy, and with the bang... Syllable... Syllable... Then a government official shouted loudly: "Line up, men on the left and women on the right, and only after searching is correct, can you enter the examination room." ”

An Chuxia saw a long line of male candidates, and the one on the right did not even exceed ten female students.

Although they don't need to take off all their clothes when they are searched during the exam, An Chuxia and they were still led into the small room next to them by two female officials one by one for a careful search.

Including taking off your shoes and untying your hair.

Fortunately, their hair was the same as that of the men, only combed in a bun on the top of their heads, wrapped in a square scarf.

This greatly reduces the time it takes them to comb their hair back up.

The man's side was the same, because the hair was also scattered during the search, so everyone was checked out, and their hair was a little scattered.

After a series of searches, all the candidates finally entered the examination compound before dawn.

There are rows of distanced tables, each with a pair of numbers.

There was a group of people standing on the steps of the compound, and standing at the front was a man about forty years old wearing a green seven-rank official uniform, he should be today's chief examiner, Lord County Commander.

At this time, an official came out from the side with a booklet in his hand, called the name, and asked the guarantor to come out to claim it, and after making sure that it was correct, he took out the wooden card he received when he signed up and sat down at the table number.

After being confirmed by the student who guaranteed her, An Chuxia glanced at the examination room when she walked to her seat, and found that Dong Linlin was sitting not far behind her.

The eyes of the two people collided together, and the firelight flashed, and the disdain between Dong Linlin's expressions became even more obvious.

But after all the students were in their positions, the official history sent the exam papers on everyone's desk.

An Chuxia took out all the things she needed for the exam and put them on the table, and she put the ink that she had ground in advance and put it in the inkstone, so as to save the time of grinding.

This body has already gone through three county exams, and as expected, the specifications of the questions in the prefectural exams have not changed much.

An Chuxia has experienced the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, and postgraduate entrance examination in modern times...... A series of exams.

She has a lot of experience in the exam, and she has already simulated the questions of the county exam in the original owner's memory countless times like before the modern college entrance examination.

There are five exams for the county exam.

The first scene is the main field, trying two books and essays, and one poem with five words and six rhymes.

Although An Chuxia was confident after reading the paper, she was not arrogant, and she still started to answer the question after reading it carefully.

Her calligraphy is not very good, but it is better than neatness.

In addition, An Chuxia has a mature mind and a good mind, and he is strict and square between the lines.

When An Chuxia finished writing half of the volume, he stopped to drink some water, sat in a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

She was already very much in control of her time, but after finishing half of the paper, she found that many students seemed to have just finished reading the paper, studied the ink, and picked up the brush to answer the questions.

This is excessive.

I don't know if others can't help but beat her when they see that she has finished half of the roll.

In order to keep up with everyone, An Chuxia felt that it was necessary for him to wait for other students.

Dong Linlin, who was sitting not far behind, saw An Chuxia sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, with a sarcastic expression on her fair face.

I thought that a fool is a fool, no matter how many times I come to take the county exam, I will always hand in a blank paper.

Lushan County, who was also standing on the first invigilator, swept around the examination room and was surprised to find that someone was sleeping in the county exam.

The county magistrate's face, which was originally quite white, turned black at the moment, and he actually slept in the examination room where he was invigilated, how could he bear it.

So Guo Xian Ling put his hands behind his back, took a figure-eight step, and walked to the table of the female student who was bold enough to sit on a chair and sleep with her eyes closed during the imperial examination.
