The county seat yamen.

Mighty and majestic, there is a mighty stone lion standing on both sides, biting a stone bead in its mouth, suppressing blessings and driving away evil spirits.

On a tall building next to it, the mahogany wine table was covered with chicken, duck, fish and other good dishes, and several officials in red and green clothes sat next to it, looking a magnificent and arrogant scene.

From their position, they have a wide field of vision, and even if they sit still, they can take in the entire examination room.

In the center, there sat an official in a red robe, his face was a little rich, Mo was about 40 years old, and his hair and beard had turned white.

This is the chief examiner of this scientific examination in Ziyun County.

The examiner's name is Wu Youwei, who is the previous county guard, and now he is the famous assassin of the history, and he still holds an important position in the imperial court, and he is famous and powerful in the local area.

Wu Youwei poured a glass of wine, and then took a sip, looking at the endless stream of candidates below, but his face was sad:

"It's bad luck, it seems that this time in the scientific examination, our admission results in Ziyun County City have to be ranked last again!"

The other examiners couldn't help but ask, "Who did you say that?" Under your leadership, our Ziyun County has a flourishing literary style, and this time the scientific expedition is definitely full of talents, stunning other counties! Your Majesty will surely praise you! ”

Wu Youwei glanced at the talents referred to below, pointed to his fingers, and said mockingly:

"You see, most of these reference talents are in rags, rarely accompanied by brocade slaves, and at first glance they are poor children, and their families are not superior."

"How strong is the knowledge of such a poor person? What do you expect them to do well? ”

It's no wonder that Wu Youwei is depressed, this is linked to his achievements.

There are eighteen mountains and rivers in the Northern Wei Kingdom, and there are eighteen county towns respectively.

In each session of the examination, which county town admits a large number of people, and the better the article, the higher the merit, and you can get your Majesty's reward, and it is not a dream to be promoted to become rich.

On the other hand, if the number of admitted students is smaller, and the ranking is at the bottom, you will also be punished by Your Majesty.

Most of the people who participated in the scientific examination in Ziyun County this time were poor talents, and the level of poor talents was limited, and they didn't even have the ability to check many books, and the admission level was extremely low.

In Wu Youwei's view, the results of the county town are estimated to be at the bottom.

The other officials looked at each other.

poked his head to take a closer look at the Xiucai queuing below, and his face became ugly.

Sure enough, most of the people who participated in the scientific examination this time were poor talents, and there were very few talents from the children of the family.

You must know that in the past scientific examinations, the children of the family were the main force of the scientific examination, and they were also the main force of the middle lift, and the other poor talents were just green leaves as a foil.

If there is no accident, Ziyun County City is definitely ranked last, and His Majesty's scolding is indispensable, no wonder Lord Wu has been black-faced.

An official scolded and scolded: "It's all to blame Tianming Academy, that bullshit Confucian established this academy in the county next door, and many of the children of our Ziyun County have gone to study, worship this great Confucian as a teacher, and become the merit of other people's counties, no wonder there are so few children of the family in our county town who participated in the scientific examination this time!" ”

Wu Youwei also looked resentful.

However, nothing can be done.

That Great Confucian has a great reputation, and the students of the family in Ziyun County City went to apprentice, you can't cut off the students' hands and feet, right? There is simply no way to stop it.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was getting stiffer and stiffer, an examiner laughed and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't look down on the poor children, maybe among the poor children of our class, it is not necessary to be able to produce great talents."

He stood up, pointed to a young man in the crowd and said: "I was invigilated in Shixi County last time, I remember this person, this Xiucai seems to be surnamed Zhao, I remember that he is the first in both doors, his grades are particularly good, it is rare to see in a hundred years, he is the first in children, and Xiucai is also the first, and his grades may not be weaker than the children of the family!" ”

Wu Youwei looked at it, but said disdainfully: "What can a poor kid change, even if he can pass the exam, what if there is one more of him?" It's all these poor people's talents, no matter what, the number of people in our county town is definitely not as good as that of other county towns. ”

"Unless this guy's article crushes the candidates from other counties and amazes His Majesty, it can be counted as a merit, do you think it's possible?"

The examiner gave an embarrassed expression.

The first in Shuangmen belongs to the first place in the county, and there are also the first in the Xiucai exam, although it is rare, but the world is so big, and other counties can occasionally see one or two.

After all, other counties also have the first double door, and they were born in a big family, and they have been taught by Confucianism since they were children, and they completely crush the poor in terms of resources and education, can this poor person compare with others?

To be honest, the possibility of surpassing others is very small, and as for the Chinese chapter of the lifting examination to surprise His Majesty, this is something that cannot be imagined.

The family is the foundation of the county towns everywhere, the higher the family, the more respected it is, and the so-called poor children are short-sighted and cannot be on the stage at all.

The examiner shut his mouth in mockery.

And Wu Youwei drank a glass of wine and sighed:

"It's good to be a person from a high-ranking family, knowledgeable, well-read, and literate, where are these poor people comparable to the children of the big family, and they are not worthy of carrying shoes for the children of the big family."

"It's a pity that there are too few of our big clan talents who took the lifting exam this time, all of them are these damn poor people, and it is estimated that the results will be at the bottom of all the counties, which is really annoying to me."

……

Inside the examination booth.

About 20 square meters, there is a toilet, and a place to eat, very simple, not too big, not too small.

At this time, the exam papers had been distributed, a thick stack, and there were dense questions written on them, which was dazzling at a glance.

There are a lot of these questions, much more than the questions in the college entrance examination in the previous life.

No wonder the exam takes three days and three nights, and if the time is really short, there is no time to answer.

It is worthy of the exam, and the weight of this test paper is really not able to be answered by ordinary people.

Zhao Xuanqi carefully browsed the questions and read the questions of the first part, but showed a relaxed smile:

"The questions in the first part of the classic test are very simple, and you can find the answers and analysis in the books by filling in the blanks of words and sentences, which is not a problem for me, and the answers are to follow the rules."

For Zhao Xuanqi, as long as the answer can be found in the book, it is not too difficult.

He took out the scratch paper, slowly put down his pen on the side, and wrote down the answers brewed in his mind on the scratch paper, and slowly wrote them out.

There are also written requirements for the imperial examination, and the requirements are very strict, the handwriting is neat, and the writing is neat, but any part that has been altered will be seriously deducted points.

So the role of scratch paper is here, first write the answer roughly on the scratch paper, if you are not satisfied with the answer, you can also polish it, or make changes.

Wait until all the answers are clear on the scratch paper, and then fill them in the exam paper, so that you can avoid making mistakes.

Zhao Xuanqi sat upright, with a straight waist.

As the saying goes, sit upright, the pen is God, the handwriting has a shape, since ancient times, I have not seen any calligraphy everyone with Erlang's legs, hunched back, can write good words.

He writes about the thin gold body.

Over the years, he has focused on practicing brush words, thin gold body has been able to be written out very well, each word has a soul in general, each has its own characteristics, the font is like a dragon in the sky, clouds and mist, and like a white crane into the water, the water and sky are the same color, very beautiful.

After most of the day, the first part of the classic test was answered, and the exam paper was filled with answers.
