Submit your papers early!

These four words echoed in the examination room, enough to make everyone change color.

It is true that there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, although very few people in the first poetry examination of the state examination can answer them all, but very few does not mean that there are none, let alone characters such as Xu Huanzhi, who have not even participated in the state examination, can be enlightened once and have a higher literary position.

However, in the 100 years since the state exam, I have never heard of someone who can finish the questions and submit the papers half an hour in advance!

Who was the last person to submit their papers early in the state exam?

It seems to be Xie Yi, a half-saint of Tianlan Country, right? Regardless of the fact that the questions were far less cumbersome and complicated than today's when Xie Yi took the state exam, it is said that the time he spent at that time was only about a quarter of an hour earlier than the deadline for submitting the papers!

And now Su Wen has advanced this time by eight times!

This made many candidates present can't help but slander in their hearts: "Hmph, it's really arrogant!"

More people, with a look of doubt and disdain, whispered to themselves: "Needless to say, this Su Wen must be bluffing, maybe it's because there are too many questions that can't be answered, so he simply gives up on himself." ”

"Hey, I know that although this Su Wen has a talent for creation, if it is still too tender compared to the skill of recitation, it seems that this first test must be a failure!"

There are definitely not a few people who have such thoughts, because only this can explain why Su Wen was able to submit the paper half an hour early.

Even Mu Xi couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment in her eyes, and sighed softly.

The three examiners in front of the field all stared at Su Wen and were silent, and after a long time, the state lord broke the silence, and his voice was slightly cold: "Are you sure you want to hand in the papers?"

The students who can take the state examination here are all scholars who have obtained the academic degree, and it can be said that each of them has the potential to become the pillars of the human race in the future.

Therefore, no candidate will give up halfway, even if there are more questions, it will definitely not use such a way as early submission to sensationalize.

Didn't you see that although there were many candidates scratching their ears and cheeks and being confused in their eyes, they refused to put down their ink pens and give up answering questions?

Su Wen didn't explain anything, but asked indifferently, "Is it okay if students don't know?"

The state lord frowned slightly, this Su Wen was originally the top candidate for this state exam, even if too many people were looking forward to his failure, but there were more people who had high hopes for him, but he didn't expect that Su Wen would be so disappointing just because of the first performance.

Yes, it is disappointment, because even if everyone knows that Su Wen is a holy talent, whether it is the candidates in the room, the officials on the inspection, or the chief examiner on the seat, they all know Su Wen's literary name like thunder, but no one still believes that Su Wen can answer all the questions half an hour in advance.

Lord Governor, naturally, is no exception.

Seeing that Su Wen still insisted, the state lord no longer persuaded him, but said with some displeasure: "According to the rules of the state examination, of course it is okay to submit the papers in advance......

Su Wen said respectfully: "Then the student will hand in the paper." ”

The state lord didn't say anything more, but waved his hand lightly, and immediately a white-clothed court official came to Su Wen's side, put away the thick pile of exam papers on his desk, and then presented it.

At this time, it is not yet time to mark the papers, so of course the three examiners will not be able to read Su Wen's answer sheet in advance, but thinking about it, there must be a lot of blank space.

"Now that you have handed in the papers, let's go to the shed on the side and wait. ”

At this time, although it was not yet noon, the scorching sun overhead had begun to show its grandeur, so a pergola was built on the side of the examination room for candidates to rest after handing in their papers.

The state examination lasts for a whole day, during which all candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room, and at noon and evening, there will be a uniform distribution of food and water, but there is no need for everyone to bring their own dry food.

Su Wen's early submission of the paper, although it caused a lot of shock and criticism at the beginning, but soon, the other candidates regarded it as an insignificant episode, and refocused their minds on the exam paper in front of them.

Once again, there was silence.

Outside the examination room, separated by a wall, ten feet away, but it was a completely different scene, with endless noise and discussion, and everyone was eagerly discussing who would be at the top of the list in this first session.

This is also one of the differences between the state exam and the city exam.

Although the final list of A and B will also be released two days after the state exam, there is also a convention in the state exam, that is, after each game, before the next exam, the name of the top list will be announced immediately!

Of course, this name can only be known in advance by people outside the examination room, but the candidates in the examination room have no way of knowing it for the time being.

Since the advent of the Divine Book, countless literati have emerged in the past hundred years, and the various literary treasures that have been discovered are naturally strange.

For example, the poetry test school in the state examination has a fixed answer paper, which has long been handed over to the manual review, but handed over to Wen Baozheng to judge the wrong judge, then only the examiner will put the candidates' answer sheets into the judgement tube, and in a moment it will be able to show the geometry of the questions answered correctly, who is the top of the list, it is clear at a glance.

Therefore, it will not take too long for the results of the first game to be obtained, so that the name of the top spot will be announced to the outside world.

With the sound of the fourth bell, everyone in the examination room stopped writing and handed in the papers, and the people outside the venue who watched the excitement stretched their necks and leaned inward, especially the relatives and friends of those candidates, hoping to hear a name they were most familiar with later.

Time passed little by little, and presumably the scholars in the examination room had already begun to eat, but the name of the top list had not yet come out, which made those people outside extremely anxious.

Su Yu stood at the front of the crowd, clasped his hands together, and seemed to be praying silently.

A hand stretched out from the side and handed over a snow-white steamed bun, Haoma smiled and said, "Let's eat something first, it is estimated that this result will not come out for a while, besides, you have to have confidence in Su Wen." ”

Su Yu took the steamed bun, but the anxious look between his eyebrows was not alleviated in the slightest, and he tore off a piece with his hands and put it in his mouth, like chewing wax.

Haoma sighed and shook his head, he also knew that he couldn't persuade him to do this, so he could only secretly slander in his heart, the state exam rules set by Yu Sanctuary really don't know what to say, inexplicable, wouldn't it be good to release the list together in the end, why do you have to play this trick?

Isn't this a hurry for these people who are waiting outside to suffer?

As the time for the second exam approached, everyone outside the venue became more and more anxious, because at this time, the top spot could appear at any time.

The voices of those who talked about it also became more enthusiastic.

Some people speculate that the top of the list in this field may be Sun Hu, the son of Deacon Sun, and some people think that a certain scholar in Huangcheng, who is known as a memory prodigy, has a better chance, and some people even directly pointed out the name of the eldest lady, which immediately caused a burst of echoes.

There were even people who opened the market on the spot, so that those who have not had time to bet in the gambling house have also found new fun.

In the midst of all the voices, the stone door of the examination room, which was originally closed, slowly opened again, and a white-clothed official of the Holy Inquisition came out, and the stone door was closed again.

The officer who is responsible for announcing the top of each competition is not allowed to return to the examination room, which is also one of the rules.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Silence! Silence! It's time to announce the top of the poetry list!"

In an instant, the originally hot crowd quieted down, and everyone looked forward to it, waiting for the white-clothed court official to read the name in his hand.

The white-clothed court official slowly walked to a place three feet away from the crowd and stood still, and then slowly unfolded the cloth scroll in his hand, on which was the name of the top of the field on the handwritten question of one of the chief examiners, the court monarch of the Holy Inquisition.

So of course, there is only one name on it.

The white-clothed court official looked at the two familiar words, his pupils shrank, and then he took a deep breath.

Before the announcement, everyone was looking forward to hearing a familiar name, which could be a loved one or a friend.

At this time, they finally got their wish and heard the familiar name.

"Suven. ”

After a moment of silence, the whole crowd exploded with a bang.

There is a special soundproofing effect in the examination room, so theoretically speaking, no matter how noisy it is, all candidates will not be able to hear half a minute of noise.

But at this moment, everyone seemed to hear a thunderous uproar, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"What's going on out there?"

The experienced candidate secretly frowned and said: "Counting it, this should be the time to announce the top of the last list, perhaps, they are cheering for the name of the top spot." ”

Such an explanation can deceive the new scholars, but it will not convince those who have taken the state exam.

Because in previous years, no matter which time the list was released, I had never encountered such an earth-shattering voice, and it was possible to break the sound ban in the examination room, what a grand cheer it would be?

Tang Ji touched Su Wen with his elbow and said curiously, "Do you know what's going on?"

Su Wenjie rolled his eyes firmly, and said: "I'm also like you, taking the state exam for the first time, where do I know so much, and I'm not that number know-it-all." ”

Saying that, Su Wen didn't bother to pay attention to Tang Ji anymore, but said softly to Ning Qingbing in front of him: "This one will be easier for you than the previous poems, remember, it doesn't matter if you can make the list in this state exam, the important thing is to accumulate experience and summarize the gains and losses, so you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself." ”

Ning Qingbing nodded: "Yes, sir." ”

Su Wen explained a few more words to Ning Qingbing, and the familiar and melodious bell rang slowly again, and the second exam was about to begin.
