17. Unspoken rules, guarantee
Zhao Xuanqi walked into the examination booth.
The sheds are squares that isolate other candidates.
When he entered the shed where he was, he immediately found a brazier in the corner, and the charcoal was boiling and burning, and the temperature emitted made the whole space very warm.
"This..."
He was a little surprised, although winter has passed now, it belongs to the time of spring, but the weather is still a little cold, if there is no brazier, candidates will inevitably feel cold, affecting the exam.
This brazier is generally not available, obviously someone specially arranged it to let Zhao Xuanqi enjoy this benefit.
A small official walked over and answered Zhao Xuanqi's doubts with a smile: "The invigilator this time is from Stony Brook Academy, and he has a deep affection for the academy, and he specially arranged for us to prepare the benefits for the students of the academy, which is just a small brazier, and it is not a big deal." ”
"I see, thank you." Zhao Xuanqi thanked him.
This time, the exam he took was only a "child" exam, which was only the most basic exam, and the examiner would basically have no problem arranging benefits in such a place.
Because that's all there is to it, whether you can take the child exam next, the examiner will not cover you, if you can't do it, you won't have to give you water for the child exam.
The brazier is an unspoken benefit.
Sure enough, even if you cross over, the unspoken rules are everywhere.
He walked into the examination booth, sat in his seat, put the board down, and then put pen and ink and other things on the board.
It didn't take long for the exam papers to be issued.
"The children's exam is simple."
Zhao Xuanqi stared at the test paper with a surprised expression on his face.
Not because the questions are too difficult, but because they are too easy.
It is all the content of the "classic test", which requires the words to fill in the blanks, and the answers are all in the books, as long as you memorize the books thoroughly, you can basically complete the answers.
The books to memorize are: four books and five classics, the precepts of the sages, all the works of the four and a half saints, and more than 30 great Confucian lifetime works, about fifty or sixty books, each book is as thick as a fist, and the number of pages of a book is about a thousand pages.
There are dozens of questions that need to be read and understood, and the meaning of them is explained, all of which are very classic questions and are very simple to explain.
There are no "poetry tests", "word tests" and "additional questions".
"The answers to these questions can all be found in books, and there is no difficulty at all......
"And in terms of reading comprehension, it is basically answered by various Confucians, I summarize it a little bit in my own words, write it according to my meaning, and do not deviate from the framework of Confucianism, I can definitely get a full score."
Zhao Xuanqi did not hesitate, picked up the brush, and started writing directly.
One question, two questions, ten questions and one hundred questions.
There is no pause in each question, and all the answers are written down in one go.
The answer is one thing, handwriting is another.
If the handwriting is not good and the writing is not neat, no matter how good your answer is, you will be beaten back by the examiner.
Fortunately, after these days of study in the academy, his brush calligraphy has made great progress, especially he still pesters Zhou Fuzi every day to learn how to write well, and specially cultivates his writing ability, so now his brush writing is very good-looking, and unique, with his own style.
Of course, this style is copied, from the calligraphy master Song Weizong in the previous life, and belongs to the style system of Huaxia, thin gold body.
Thin gold font is a font created by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, is a kind of calligraphy in the history of calligraphy with great personality, because it is very different from the traditional calligraphy such as Jin Kai and Tang Kai, the personality is extremely strong, so it can be called an original in the history of calligraphy.
In addition to being an emperor, this guy is very good at calligraphy, and his representative works include "Regular Script Thousand Character Text" and "Qin Fang Poem", etc., which are very beautiful.
Thin gold body pen smart and fast, handwriting thin, to thin without losing its flesh, its large characters can be seen especially in the graceful place, because its strokes are relatively thin and hard, so the penmanship is exposed, you can clearly see the running Teton and other traces of the pen, is a style quite unique font.
When Zhao Xuanqi was in the first life, he was very good at thin gold body, and he could easily write all kinds of good-looking words with a ballpoint pen, but not with a brush, after all, he had never learned a brush.
Now he is familiar with the writing method of the brush, and he has no problem writing the thin gold font again.
It just so happens that this kind of font has not yet appeared in the Northern Wei Kingdom, and this beautiful and neat font can definitely surprise the examiner, and it is also a plus.
Time passed minute by minute, and after most of the day, Zhao Xuanqi had finished answering the questions and filled up the exam papers.
At this moment, there is still one day before the end of the exam, and this day he can only stay in the examination booth to eat, drink and Lazar.
Of course, candidates can submit their papers in advance, but Zhao Xuanqi doesn't want to be in the limelight.
Some examiners don't like candidates who submit their papers in advance, feel that they are too Meng Lang, do not follow the rules, and will give low marks.
Zhao Xuanqi couldn't figure out the examiner's habits, he decided that it was best to follow the rules, and it was the least likely to make mistakes according to the rules.
So, for most of the remaining day, he slept in the examination shed, and waited until the time to hand in the papers before leaving the examination shed.
The clerk put away the exam papers and handed them to the examiner.
After the end of the children's examination, there is the next "college examination", which is called the Xiucai examination, which is mainly used to test the fame of Xiucai.
There are still some differences between the scientific examination in this world and that in China, and the difference between the "children's exam" and the "Xiucai exam" is only half a day.
In other words, if you finish the children's exam in the morning, then you can immediately go to the examination room and take the talent exam.
Of course, there is a restriction here, you need to have a child's fame in order to take the talent exam.
The children's examination has just ended, and the results have not even been announced, so the scholars naturally do not have the fame of children's life, so they cannot participate in the Xiucai exam.
You need someone to vouch for you so that you can take the talent test if your child's results don't come out.
The guarantee is very special, if you have passed the Xiucai exam, but you have not passed the Tongsheng exam, then it is an invalid exam, and you will not be awarded the merit of Xiucai, and you can only be downgraded to obtain the fame of Tongsheng.
If you want to find someone to vouch, you still need a background, and without a background, someone can't vouch for you in vain, the poor can stop, and the rich can operate.
From this, it can be seen that reading and scientific research are not at all for the poor to participate, and compared with large families, the gap is like a cloud of mud.
Zhao Xuanqi came to the hospital examination and assessment point and reported his name.
Someone in the crowd immediately walked out, took out the identity booklet, and handed it to the official in front: "I, Wang Chenzheng, am famous and famous, and vouch for Zhao Xuanqi, a student of Shixi Academy." ”
The official checked and found that there was no problem, so he nodded and let Zhao Xuanqi go in for the exam.
Zhao Xuanqi thanked him: "Thank you for this senior brother." ”
The man waved his hand: "Hahaha, they are all from Shixi Academy, and it is normal to help each other, don't forget your senior brother when you soar in the future." ”
Zhao Xuanqi smiled and nodded, and slowly entered the assessment point.
This is the advantage of the college, the college will arrange for the senior brother to vouch for you, so that you can take the Xiucai exam immediately after the child exam, saving time.
Otherwise, if they miss this show-talent exam, students will have to wait another year for the next test, which is a waste of time for those geniuses.
Of course, this benefit is limited to students with good grades, that is, only the top 20 students in the college, and it is useless for the top 20 students to guarantee you, it is a pure waste.
Although it is said that people will owe people a favor, but this kind of favor is not something you want to owe, if your grades are too poor, you will not even have the opportunity to owe favors.
Iron also needs to be hard!
