In the third year of Qingwu, there was a restoration party of the previous dynasty, which mixed into the tribute courtyard and tried to start a fire and brew a tragedy.

Although it was unsuccessful, from then on, during the examination, not only did there be several more water tanks to extinguish the fire at any time, but also directly extinguished the possibility of fire caused by personal mistakes - no longer let the candidates cook by themselves.

Su Ziji agrees with this very much, thousands of candidates, but if one accidentally starts a fire, the Gongyuan is antique, and the wooden buildings are everywhere, once the fire starts, it is even more difficult to rescue than the local examination room.

He didn't want to take the test once, and he had to be frightened.

Moreover, this is the unified distribution of food and water by the Gongyuan, but if there is a problem in this regard, whether it is fraud or poisoning, the person in charge can be directly found.

The personnel involved, in order to keep their lives alive, will also be doubly careful.

Su Ziji washed his hands slightly with a little cool water, then pinched a piece of cake and ate it.

After eating, I took a short nap at noon, woke up in the afternoon, first solved the physiological problems in my room, and then pinched my nose and wrote two of the first three questions.

When I put pen to paper, I found that it was already dark.

The Gongyuan gave everyone a candle, a total of three, Su Ziji put away the roll, borrowed the light of the candle, and went to sleep after dinner.

It's just curled up on a cramped plank bed.

But compared to before, the "tables and chairs" needed to be dismantled to share the bed, and this time it was much better, and a blanket was directly prepared for the candidates.

Because the clothes on his body are quite thick, at night, the room is uncovered, not the direction of the wind, and he barely falls asleep.

But this taste is really not very pleasant.

Especially on the first day, there is more or less some urine smell in each room, although it is March, not hot, but this smell is also a little nasilous.

Su Ziji was secretly glad that he had written the three most difficult questions on the first day, and the last four questions must be completed today, and he will check it again tomorrow and submit the paper.

Unlike some people, when they are in the best state on the first day, they write simple first, but when they are not in good rest and in a slightly worse state on the second day, they write the first three questions, where is the inspiration for the first day?

Listening to the sigh from nearby, Su Ziji cleaned his hands again, ate the cake sent by the soldier, drank some hot water, and then cleaned up, checked the three questions that he wrote on the draft yesterday, polished them, and carefully copied them on the volume.

After checking it twice and finding that there was no mistake at all, I carefully received the roll bag when the ink was dry.

Next, prepare to write the following four questions.

These four questions are nothing more than strategies and assignments, and in less than a day, I hurriedly wrote three questions on the draft.

Although he miscalculated the time and did not write all the questions the next day, compared to others, Su Ziji's time was still abundant.

This is still written in a very leisurely state, and it is not tied to time.

It's still eating bread and sleeping as usual.

On the third day, Su Ziji had eaten in the morning, cleaned his hands again, and then slowly transcribed the three questions.

But I don't know if it's cold, on this day, not only him, but also many of the candidates in the nearby number are coughing and in poor condition.

Although Su Ziji was not sick to the point of illness, he could listen to the coughing sounds one after another nearby, and he also felt that his throat was a little itchy.

Some candidates didn't write much in the previous two days, and this day was a little anxious, and at noon, after taking a nap, they were awakened by a burst of crying.

Then there was the sound of footsteps, and the invigilator dragged him out mercilessly, and he wanted to howl, but he was gagged and dragged out with a whimper, which frightened the surrounding candidates in the room.

"Another crash. ”

Su Ziji listened attentively, sighed, continued to write the last question, and after writing, directly copied the content that had been written onto the volume.

Then, I looked at all the papers.

"Alas, it's only now that I know how terrifying level 17 is. ”

There are many tricks in the imperial examination, first of all, the imperial court law is relatively stable, and you can learn this to get the mainstream, and the anti-timed writing is difficult to conform to the times, and no matter how good the writing is, it is useless.

Speaking of reality, although Jian Qu participated in the exam, his thinking and style of writing, nine times out of ten, still failed.

Of course, if he blindly conforms to the trend of the times, he will be lost in everyone and will not be able to attract the attention of the examiner, Fang Wenshao is not only lacking a little effort in subtle righteousness, but also here, his level depends on luck, if he is lucky, maybe he will be low and low, and if he is unlucky, he will naturally stop talking.

Therefore, the examination must be new and surprising, so the law is righteous, peaceful, and elegant, and it will not fall behind the times, but there must be two or three new ones to attract the attention of the examiner.

The level of level 17, although it is only a novelty of two or three points, but the "text" aspect is incisive, which makes people feel bloated with one more word and too thin with one less word.

Even Su Ziji himself has the feeling that Mo Wuwu has been edited and deleted, but after reading it, the only doubt is: "Two or three points of novelty, is it too much?"

Su Ziji didn't know why he felt this way, but he thought about it in a blink of an eye: "If two or three points are too much, can there only be one point?"

Thinking about it, he smiled dumbly, he didn't sleep well last night, and after transcribing, Su Ziji curled up behind and fell asleep.

When I woke up this time, I don't know how long I had been asleep, and I heard the crisp sound of bangs again.

Su Ziji woke up and subconsciously went to fish for the rolls, but he felt empty.

Not far away, there was a cry again, Su Ziji rubbed his eyebrows, and sat up.

"Is it time?" he looked up and saw that it was a little gray outside.

Although it was three days of the test, in fact, it was three days and two nights, and on the third night, with the sound of bangzi, the time for the test was over.

"That's the end of the exam. Su Ziji couldn't help but be stunned for a while, listening to the footsteps not far away, and put the rolls that he had put away before, along with the drafts, on the table.

After a while, there were examiners with the soldiers, and they were in the room to collect the papers, but if they had not finished answering, they were allowed to finish lighting the candles.

After the order, it was dark and faint, and I couldn't read the words, and the examiner wouldn't give any more time.

When he walked to Su Ziji's place, someone's eyes lit up, but he was silent.

Su Ziji, like the candidates in front of him, handed over the papers, saw that they were put away, and left, so he tidied up his clothes that had been crumpled with a little smell, packed up his pen and ink, and walked outside.

Less than half a mile outside the Gongyuan, there is a waiting pavilion, in fact, there is a vacant lot here, at this time there are many ox carts, sedan chairs, all to pick up candidates.

When Su Ziji walked over, the rain was falling, and there was a vast expanse between heaven and earth, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the wild Taoist who was holding an umbrella in the distance.

"Lord, how is the examination room?"

"[Four Books and Five Classics] Level 17, 14588/17000" Su Ziji glanced at it, didn't want to take the exam in the past three days, and increased his experience by 500, and smiled.

"If I don't win again, I will believe what Jian Qu said, the imperial examination of the imperial court is dark, and there is no place for the cold to stand. ”
