Lin Daiyu stepped forward and held a cloak in her hand, "This is what my grandmother asked me to give to you, she is old and can't stand the cold, let me tell you, pay attention to keep warm, save the cold." ”

Jia Baoyu took the cloak, but found that the cloak was heavy and tight, and he didn't know what animal fur was made of, and it was unusually warm:

"That's all my grandmother gave me?"

Lin Daiyu's eyebrows were lowered, in front of so many people, he dared to speak like this, he was almost to death!

But today is his big day, and Lin Daiyu didn't dare to be petty, so he plucked a hosta from his head and said: "This is what my father gave me. ”

The ancients were the most superstitious, and when they heard that this was Tanhua wearing, they immediately felt that this hosta was shrouded in a special light.

Jia Baoyu took off the hairpin on his head and replaced it with Lin Daiyu's hosta, cherishing and cherishing the way: "Thank you sister, I will definitely not insult him." ”

Xue Baochai stepped forward and took out a peace charm from his arms: "Brother Bao, at the temple fair yesterday, I asked my brother to help me go to the Confucian Temple to ask for a peace charm, you bring it." ”

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu glanced at Xue Baochai deeply, took the peace charm, and was moved in his heart.

"Thank you, Sister Bao, Master Kong will definitely bless me on every topic."

The other Wang Xifeng, as a sister-in-law, gave him a gold coin for the first and first, and Li Kun prepared some exquisite snacks for him to eat in the examination room.

Jia Baoyu finally went out, just like moving, with a lot of things in the basket.

What he knew was going to take the exam, and what he didn't know thought he had fled.

Jia Baoyu jumped into the carriage, and Hua An and Wu Da personally escorted him.

The carriage slowly headed towards the examination institute.

There were also many students on the road, carrying a lot of things on their backs, like a turtle carrying a heavy turtle shell on its back.

Jia Baoyu looked at these lone students, and sighed in his heart, this is the ancient version of the college entrance examination, although he can't reach the sky in one step, he can step on another step.

Reading changes fate.

When they arrived at the examination hall, a group of students lined up and waited for the officials to check it.

As with later exams, there were a variety of methods of cheating in ancient times, and in order to prevent the hiding of cheat sheets, candidates were inspected for holes in the upper and lower parts of their bodies.

The food you bring with you should be checked carefully.

Even the pastries had to be broken open and inspected, and if there were seams in the clothes, they had to be unsewn, and the bedding had to be torn apart......

Someone in Jia Baoyu's team was checked out, and the cheat sheet was hidden in the hair.

Good guy, that candidate is like a pig killed in the New Year, tied up with all kinds of flowers, and threw it aside in the team, waiting for the next step.

The rules of the imperial examination are extremely strict, once cheating is discovered, the examination will be banned for life, and if it is serious, it will be directly exiled for 3,000 miles and go to Hainan Island to enjoy sunbathing.

After a long while, Jia Baoyu came to his examination venue with his identity tag.

There are already four scholars waiting in the venue, Jia Baoyu has seen them, these are the four students arranged by Liu Zongzhou, the five of them guarantee each other, as long as one of them cheats in the exam, the others will also be implicated.

The sun on the horizon showed its first rays, and when Shuntianfu Yin arrived, the candidates on the scene immediately shouted, and the officials holding water and fire sticks next to them shouted loudly to silence them.

Shuntianfu Yin Song Shixiang, Shaanxi Yaozhou people's clan, Bingchen Kejinshi, only became Shuntianfu Yin last year.

This person is especially good at party and government, and he is a super troll.

When Wei Zhongxian was in the court, he and others jointly wrote a letter of impeachment, was demoted, and returned to his hometown.

In the first year of Emperor Longqian, the official was reinstated, promoted to the servant Shaoqing, and the Taichang Qing was the official.

Last year, he was recalled by Emperor Longqian and became the Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

However, although this person likes to spray people, he is a loyal minister, when Li Zicheng attacked his hometown Yaozhou, Song Shixiangning died and was killed by the Chuang army.

Jia Baoyu stood in front of the crowd, this Song Shixiang was quite old, looking more than sixty years old, and his beard was white.

Song Shixiang said a few words of encouragement, similar to "The future is undecided, you and I are dark horses".

Then a person who looks like a master announced the county examination process and the precautions for the exam.

After Song Shixiang left, the examination staff called Jia Baoyu's name, and he walked to the examination room with a few students who were guarantees.

After the examiners confirmed the students one by one, the staff brought Jia Baoyu to the examination room.

The seat number in Jia Baoyu's hand is "Jiashen".

It is the ninth position in the first examination room.

The setup of the exam room is extremely simple, a table, a chair, and nothing else.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, these things need to be brought by the candidates, of course, to the township test, will be provided pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but that also has to spend money to buy, not free.

Therefore, the imperial examination is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the cost of the examination, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., can crush a small rich family.

"No noise is allowed in the examination room, violators will be expelled!"

There are many rules for the imperial examination, even if you can't fart during the exam, you have to eat, drink and laze in the toilet next to the seat.

The first test of the college examination is entitled to two articles in four books, one article in five classics, and one poem in five words and six rhymes.

Not long after, a staff member of the examination room came over with a wooden board with the questions of this exam.

Jia Baoyu saw the question on the wooden board clearly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The topic is: The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the best and righteous.

Question 2: Neutrality and not relying on strong pretensions.

Question 3: To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods, trade and retreat, each has its own righteousness.

The first question is from "University", and it begins with this sentence, which can be said to be known even if you have not read a book.

But the easier the question, the more difficult it is to answer.

Because the predecessors have interpreted this sentence very clearly, it is impossible to innovate and have new ideas.

Jia Baoyu could only write what Liu Zongzhou had taught, and he was unwilling to change even a word.

The second title is from the Book of Rites. The Mean", the original text is: gentlemen and not flow; Strong. Neutral and unbiased; Strong. The country has a road, and it does not change; Strong. There is no way for the country, and it will remain unchanged until death; Strong.

This sentence means that people with noble moral character are harmonious and do not follow the crowd, which is really strong! Neutrality and impartiality are really strong!

The country's politics are clean and they don't change their ambitions, which is really strong! When the country's politics is dark, adhere to ethics and prefer to die, this is really strong!

But the exam alone brings out "neutrality and impartiality, strong and corrective", which is simply perverted.

It's like giving you a sentence "Neutrality and impartiality is really strong!" Then write a short essay on the subject of this sentence.

Jia Baoyu started to write, "Since ancient times, the rule of emperors, the way of sages, and nothing more than one middle." The middle is the one that should be regarded as the standard for all generations in the world. However, the crowd and the crowd are respectful and cannot stand on their own...... And to its original nature, in the ability to take the selfishness of material desires and win. Therefore, it is said that self-victory is strong. ”

The third question is from "Zhou Yi", the original text is "The day is the market, to the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, trade and retreat, each has its place, and covers all the devours." ”

The meaning of this question is that the bazaar trade is carried out at noon, and people from all over the world are gathered, and the goods from all over the country are gathered, and the goods are exchanged and left, and the people get what they need.

Jia Baoyu wrote, "When the world is in the dark, try to advocate for the exceptional, in order to save the troubles of a hundred generations." I tried to defeat without using it, and then the world obeyed its foresight, rose up one after another, plagiarized its introduction, and discussed it horizontally. And the evil sophists, thinking about the time to sell their treachery, are the words of the gentleman, and the world is shocked when they protect the country and save the time. ”

After writing these scriptures, Jia Baoyu began to transcribe the answers to the three questions onto the test paper.

His font has grown a lot after this period of training, and it is not as unsightly as it was at the beginning.

However, compared to the calligraphy that other students have been training since childhood, it is still a lot worse.

Unfortunately, it can't be helped.

Brush writing is water grinding kung fu, no matter how high the talent, you have to write one stroke at a time.

By the time I had finished writing all the test papers, it was already past noon.
