Chapter 30: Submit the paper ahead of schedule
Jinling Prefecture * County Test.
The time for the county examination is very generous, with a total of five days, which is also enough time for students to take the imperial examination, which increases the psychological and physical pressure of candidates in disguise.
After everyone passed through the dragon gate and was searched by the guards at the gate, they each received their own room number plates and stood in the large courtyard to listen to the fate.
As the number of people gradually increased, and no more imperial examination personnel entered, the gate for exit and the gate for entry were closed.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as cheating in the imperial examination, forcibly breaking into the examination institute, colliding with the imperial examination, etc., the chief examiner and the invigilator can order someone to open the door, and people from outside can be allowed to enter.
After the closure of the examination institute, the roster began to be counted, and the students who participated in the examination were ordered to come over to identify the authenticity of the candidates, determine the true identity of the students in the imperial examination, and judge whether there were impostors.
When all the verification procedures before the imperial examination were completed, the scholars recited aloud the precautions related to the imperial examination, and then ordered the officials to lead these students, in accordance with the order of numbers, carrying the four treasures of the study, that is, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, stepping through the small door next to them, and each of them entered the allocated room to sit down, waiting for the distribution of the examination papers and the gong of the imperial examination.
After Jia Yun came to his room, he put the things in his hand away, spread the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table that had been prepared for the imperial examination, and then sat on the bench and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The others also came to their own positions in turn, and the officers on patrol looked at the situation in each room to make sure that there was nothing missing, and after there were no omissions, the officials went to tell the chief examiner that everything was normal, and they could begin to carry out the imperial examination.
When the examiner heard this, he immediately ordered the exam to begin.
The officials held the examination sign with red letters on a black background and paraded the venue, which represented the official start of the examination.
Because of the four county examinations in this dynasty, one a day, five days and five tests, respectively, the eight strands of literature, trial poems, scriptures, laws, policy theories, etc.
As for the candidates' eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping, in order to prevent cheating and entrainment, tandem and many other problems, all must be carried out in the examination room in the entire courtyard, five days, plenty of time, after getting the imperial examination papers, Jia Yun was not in a hurry, and slowly thought about answering the questions.
In the first test, there are two essays in four books and one poem with five words and six rhymes, and you should pay attention to the format and number of words when writing, which cannot exceed 700 words.
"Two articles in the four books, originally two articles were selected from the Analects, Mencius, the University, and the Mean, and filled in the blanks to check and fill in the gaps?"
After browsing the content three times, Jia Yun knew it well, and then carefully wrote the correct answer on the scratch paper, wrote it down silently, and after writing, he made sure that there was no problem, so he put it aside, and looked at the assessment content of the five-word and six-rhyme test poem.
"Five-word poems, not simple?"
"When I first arrived, I had to make a splash, and I couldn't hide it, so as not to make Jiangnan geniuses underestimate my true skills."
This five-word and six-rhyme test poem, Jia Yun basically doesn't have to think too much about it.
Because, a five-word and six-rhyme trial poem, there is no restriction on the subject matter, and there is no restriction on other things, just ask you to write a five-word and six-rhyme trial poem, improvisation, as long as you can read through without typos and problems with the rhythm.
The content of the exam, the former is the recitation and silent writing of the sage's articles, and the latter is even more watery in it, write a poem, without limiting the subject matter, then you can copy the poems you wrote before, wouldn't it be safe to pass the test?
The content of the two assessments is the most basic content, Jia Yunwen thought well, waved pen and ink, and soon wrote the answer on the draft, confirmed it again and again, and repeatedly considered it, and after reviewing it several times at intervals, it was carefully copied on the volume.
Everything from the heart, cautious and supreme.
The imperial examination is related to the future and destiny, and it is not too careful to be careful.
Jia Yun not only wants to take the imperial examination, but also plans to be the first in high school, as the "county head!" ”
With the title of "county case head", there is no need to participate in the subsequent government and hospital examinations in the future, and it is directly the fame of Xiucai, which is also the special treatment of the first place in the ancient imperial examination.
In the second exam, there is one essay on four books, one on sexual theory or filial piety, and about 100 words of "Sacred Oracles and Teachings" are written silently, and there can be no typos and alterations.
In fact, the "Sacred Decree and Extensive Training" is the ideological education of students promulgated in the form of a holy decree, and it has five or six thousand words.
For students from poor backgrounds who have no access, not only is the content difficult to obtain, but also needs relationships and access.
Even if it is an amazing talent for reading seeds, if there is no imperial examination teacher to guide the way, you will not be able to pass this level at all, and in the face of these unfamiliar contents, you don't need to take the test directly, just wait for death.
It is not easy to take the imperial examination in the cold door, after all, books are more gold than gold, every word is gold, a book is hard to find, plus there is no famous teacher to guide the way, the portal is biased, how can it be said that the imperial examination is easy?
But for a reading seed like Jia Yun who has a reader template, this kind of content that needs to be learned and written silently is extremely easy and effortless.
It's better to write on the draft first, even if you remember it, you still need to be steady.
After checking that there are no mistakes, copy the content on the manuscript paper on the paper, and the answer is completed.
In the third test, there are four books or scriptures, one law, one poem with five words and eight rhymes, and the first two sentences of the "Holy Message" in the front field.
The fourth and fifth consecutive examinations mainly test scriptures, poems, scriptures, and prose.
These contents are all simple basic contents, and Jia Yun is already confident if she is sure of nine out of ten in the exam.
Thinking of the rivers and lakes outside, because of the imperial examination these days, Jia Yun has not had close contact with the rivers and lakes of Jinling Mansion, and can't help but recall what he explained to Chen Donglin before.
"Jia Yucun is already on his way to taking office."
"The days of taking office should be these days."
"Hey, without Jia Yucun in office, these people just don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles."
"However, if Jia Yucun really arrives, it won't be the price it is now."
Thinking like this, Jia Yun was ready to get up and hand in the paper after collecting the test paper.
"What? Someone is going to hand in the papers? ”
"This is the hour after the fourth exam has just started!"
In a few small rooms next to Jia Yun, as well as a few rooms in remote places, Jia Yun who got up to hand in the papers could also be seen, his face changed slightly, he looked at his test papers gloomily, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "Submit the papers in advance, is this arrogant or really talented?" ”
