The test papers were taken away on the spot, and the test was over.
It will take a few days for the students who have applied for more than a thousand references to study hard for many years and apply what they have learned. Whether they will be proud of being nominated on the list or end in despair and compete again next year, it will take a few days to tell.
For the students who took the exam, the process of waiting for the results is undoubtedly painful.
After leaving the examination room and looking at the bright sun in the sky, Yun Jing couldn't describe his mood.
I would say calm, but not calm. I have been studying hard for so many years, not even ten years of hard work, but after countless days and nights, my pen has become bald and I don’t remember how many. The calluses on my hands have grown and fallen off, and they have fallen off again.
A long time ago, so much effort finally turned into this half-day exam.
To say he wasn't calm, he didn't have much turmoil in his heart. After all, the exam was over and all that was left was to wait for the results.
After all, he has worked hard and tried his best during the exam. No matter what the result is, what he has learned over the years is still his own and no one can take it away.
In fact, according to Yunjing's original request, he just wanted to recognize the words of this world, but by accident, he got to where he is today step by step.
The imperial examinations here are linked to destiny. Once you get the title, you are no longer a commoner. Even the lowest-ranking student has half a foot on the threshold of an official career. The court will distribute some money and food every month.
It's not much, if you save a little, you can barely make a living.
This is the benefit of the imperial examination. Once you are nominated on the list, your basic life will be guaranteed.
Yunjing doesn't know how far the imperial examination will go in the future. He has never thought about whether he will be an official in the future. From his heart, Yunjing feels that he is not the material to be an official. Even if he has the opportunity to be an official in the future, Yunjing
I am more inclined to be a famous idle cloud and wild crane.
He likes freedom.
Once you get involved in the system, you often have no choice but to do whatever you want. Think about it, the person on the supreme throne often cannot do whatever you want...
"Ajing, what are you doing standing there? The exam is over. Let's go back to the inn." At some point, the fat man Zhou Jintai came to Yunjing's side and patted Yunjing's shoulder.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Yun Jing smiled and said: "It's nothing. By the way, how did you do in the exam?"
During the exam, Yunjing concentrated on dealing with the exam and was not distracted by observing other people. He didn't know how others did in the exam. At this time, he never thought about watching other people's exam papers from a distance, even if he had the ability.
Many times, the unknown is also a very interesting thing, isn't it?
"Don't mention it, let's just leave it that way. Anyway, I tried my best," Zhou Jintai said with a smile, but his attitude was optimistic, unlike many people who left the examination room who either lost their minds or beat their chests.
Then Zhou Jintai asked Yun Jing: "What about you, A Jing, how do you feel?"
"Absolutely," Yunjing shrugged.
Zhou Jintai smiled and said: "You are the best student in our class. You say it's average and you seem to be unsure about yourself. So this year's test questions should be very difficult, so I feel relieved."
"What are you worried about?" Yunjing asked him curiously.
Zhou Jintai looked like I couldn't express myself clearly and said, "Of course it's because I think I also have a chance to pass the Tongsheng test."
Did you misunderstand something?
When I say average, I mean that the test questions are average. Except for writing poetry, the rest are not difficult at all.
Yun Jing would not say such nonsense, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance then."
"Low-key, low-key, nothing to do with anything." Zhou Jintai squinted his eyes and said with a smile. In fact, he was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. He was probably imagining the scene of being proud after passing the exam.
For this kind of thing, it can't be said that he didn't have some ideas in mind. Just like most people in Yunjing's previous life, many people, no matter how well they did in the exam, would imagine that they were among the best after leaving the exam room.
Come to think of it, it's not illegal.
"Yunjing, it doesn't matter if you didn't do well in the exam this time. There will be more opportunities in the future, so don't take it personally if you fail in the exam." Lin Yexing appeared from nowhere and nodded to Yunjing to comfort him, looking like a caring little brother.
Look.
Yunjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When did I say that I failed the exam?
Oh no, this guy not only doesn't target himself, but comforts himself. Why does he have the attitude of a winner?
Feeling speechless, Yun Jing smiled and said, "I'm fine, but you. It seems that you should have done well in the exam. Are you confident that you will pass the exam?"
"I feel that I did not do badly in the exam. I should be fine as a child student, but it's hard to say where I will end up." Lin Yexing said calmly with an expression that showed he had resigned himself to his fate.
After all, he is just a twelve-and-a-half-year-old kid, and he can't hide things in his heart. His arrogance couldn't be more obvious.
As a kid, he wanted to be recognized by others so much. Yun Jing understood this mentality, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance."
"Haha, don't rush, don't worry, let's wait until the results are released. If I am on the list, I will invite all my classmates to have a good gathering." Lin Yexing waved his hands and said, looking like he wanted to keep a low profile.
It is true that he wants to suppress Yun Jing at every turn, but the two sides are not enemies. They communicate occasionally and do not speak harshly to each other. To put it bluntly, children, what bad intentions can they have?
"Ajing, let's go. Sir, they are waiting over there." Wang Bolin came to Yunjing's side, nodded at Lin Yexing and said.
At this time, Chen Yijian also came, but his face was gloomy. He was obviously worried about his exam performance and was not even interested in talking.
As he walked towards the waiting gentlemen, Wang Bolin whispered: "That guy Lin Yexing, look at how strong he is. If he had a tail, he might be flying up to the sky, wouldn't he be older than us?
At two years old, my family is better off than ours, and we have hired many gentlemen to open small stoves. But even so, if it were me, I would have the confidence to pass the Tongsheng Examination."
Yunjing felt the sourness in his words, but did not comment on it, saying: "Let him go. By the way, how did you do in the exam?"
"Very good. I've finished all the questions. I'm still confident in myself," Wang Bolin said carelessly.
Okay, he has finished all the questions, but right or wrong? This guy probably has never considered this kind of question. He is so happy that Yunjing doesn't bother with his mentality to answer the question, and nods: "That's good."
Smiling, Wang Bolin turned to Chen Yijian and asked: "Swordsman, what are you doing so bored? Why don't you say anything?"
"Ah, it's okay. I was thinking about a question and thought that I might have done it wrong. Unfortunately, it's too late to change the answer now. Hey, why were I so confused at that time?" Chen Yijian said with an annoyed look on his face.
Zhou Jintai asked: "Which question is it?"
"It's that arithmetic problem. The question is: There are a hundred pears on a tree. One will fall on the first day, two will fall on the second day, three will fall on the third day, and one more will fall every day, and so on. How many days will it fall?
"Only after all the drops have to be dropped." Chen Yijian thought for a while and replied. After he finished, he added: "My answer is thirteen days. I originally wanted to answer fourteen days, but the fourteenth day is not enough."
"This question, I answered fourteen days," Zhou Jintai said with a wink.
Chen Yijian asked him in shock: "How are you sure it's fourteen days?"
"This is how I calculated it. For a hundred pears, I would eat one on the first day and two on the second day. Anyway, I would eat one more a day. If I had a hundred pears, I could finish them in fourteen days," Zhou Jintai said.
own calculation process.
In this regard, Yunjing said that he is indeed a foodie.
Chen Yijian struggled: "But in this case, the amount you eat on the fourteenth day will not be enough."
"Whatever, I can finish it on the fourteenth day anyway. If there is not enough food, I won't eat it." Zhou Jintai shrugged and said indifferently.
Scratching his head, Chen Yijian asked Yunjing: "Ajing, how many days is your answer?"
"I am also fourteen days old," Yun Jing said with a smile.
Scratching his head again, Chen Yijian said distressedly: "You all answered fourteen days. Don't you think I was wrong? By the way, A Jing, how did you calculate it?"
"I used two stupid methods to calculate, and the total number was only one hundred pears. One fell out on the first day, and then one more fell out every day. I just added one plus two plus three and so on. When I added fourteen, it would be more than one hundred.
, it means that all is lost, it is fourteen days, and then you can also count in reverse, use one hundred pears to subtract one and subtract two, and continue to reduce. After subtracting one hundred, it will also be reduced to fourteen.
If it’s not enough, it means it’s all gone,” Yunjing replied.
This is really the stupidest way. Of course, there is a simpler way, so there is no need to mention Yunjing.
After listening, Chen Yijian said with a slumped face: "I was really wrong about this question. Why should I worry about not being able to lose fourteen points on the last day?"
Regarding this, Yunjing could only say that he was over the top.
Chen Yijian sought comfort from Wang Bolin and asked: "Lin Zi, what is your answer?"
"I am also fourteen," Wang Bolin said with a smile.
Chen Yijian asked: "How did you calculate it?"
"Use the counters. I brought a lot of counters. One on the first day and two on the second day. In this way, a total of fourteen pieces have to be queued up to get one hundred. That's fourteen days." Wang Bolin
It’s a dumber calculation process.
Then Chen Yijian almost became autistic. Among the few people, he was the only one who was worried that the fourteenth day was not enough, and then gave the wrong answer. But the deal was done, and now it was too late to change it.
The voices they spoke were not too quiet. Lin Yexing, who was a few meters away, also heard it. Then he lowered his head with an unnatural expression, because his answer was also thirteen days. Like Chen Yijian, he also struggled with the fact that fourteenth days were not enough.
, I wrote the answer for thirteen days after hesitating...
Soon he raised his head again, thinking that it didn't matter if he got one question wrong. As long as everything else was correct, it would still not be a big problem for the test takers. According to his understanding of past test questions, this year's test questions were relatively difficult!
He still has confidence in himself.
After talking to their friends, Yunjing and the others met up with Li Qiu and others, and then returned to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, Li Qiu gathered together all the students who came to take the exam and said: "The exam is over. You just need to wait quietly for the results. No matter what the results are, you have just started on the road of learning."
That’s all, don’t stick to the results of one exam. There will be countless profound knowledge waiting for you to learn and study in the future. The most important thing is to do your knowledge well. The knowledge is yours and no one can take it away. The test results are just
Just testing your learning results will not bring you much benefit. Even if someone passes the Tongsheng test this time, it is not a source of pride. After all, there are too many people with great wisdom but no fame in the world."
After comforting the students who were taking the exam, he then said: "You have just finished the exam and are worried about the results. I am afraid that you will not be able to study in the next few days. The exam results will come out in three days, so I have made the decision to give you five days."
It's a five-day holiday. If you want to go home, you can go back with the gentlemen tomorrow. The government will send someone to Niujiao Town for the final results. You don't have to worry about this. Of course, if you really want to know the results as soon as possible
Yes, you can also stay in the county and wait. You are responsible for the issues such as food, accommodation, and safety when you return. Okay, let's break up. After five days, remember to go to school as usual."
After speaking, Li Qiu nodded to Yun Dingding and motioned for him to follow him.
"Ajing, when are you going back?" Wang Bolin immediately approached Yunjing and asked.
Yunjing said: "It depends on the situation. Master and I will go back together. I have to ask Master about the next arrangements."
To a few friends, it is no secret that Li Qiu is Yunjing's master, and there is no need to hide it. However, in front of other people, Yunjing still calls Li Qiu "mountain leader" or "sir" in school, in order to avoid suspicion.
.
"That's it. Then I'll ask my dad how to arrange it. I'll probably stay in the county for a few days. If you're not in a hurry to go back, I'll take you to have fun then." As he said this, Wang Bolin said to Yun Jing
He winked and looked like he was really having fun.
Of course Yunjing knew what he meant. He thought that this guy was almost hopeless. He didn't know if he would still be like this when he was older. He probably was just curious now. He would wait until the hazy and mysterious veil about women was revealed in the future.
After that, he will gradually lose interest.
He shook his head and said: "Let's do this for now. I'll go first. Master calls me."
"Yeah, let's go, let's go, I'll ask the swordsman what they plan next," Wang Bolin waved his hands and turned around to find Chen Yijian and the others.
Arriving at Li Qiu's room, Yunjing closed the door and asked, "Master, what do you want from me?"
"Jing'er, you have a photographic memory. Come, write down the test paper and your answers, and let me have a look at it, so I can help you judge your score." Li Qiu pointed to the paper that had been prepared on the table at one side.
The Four Treasures of the Study.
Li Qiu was obviously very concerned about Yunjing's test scores, so he was anxious to know how Yunjing did in the test.
With his mind clear, Yun Jing nodded and said, "Okay, Master."
With that said, he sat down and started writing.
Li Qiu urged: "You don't have to write so neatly. There are no outsiders around. It's okay to be sloppy. Just try to write as fast as possible."
To be in such a hurry...
Yun Jing was moved in his heart. After all, his master treated him as his 'own son'. Otherwise, with his gentle temperament, he would not have been so impatient, so he accelerated his writing speed.
While Yun Jing was writing, Li Qiu kept watching. Every time Yun Jing wrote a question and looked at the answers, he nodded slightly. As Yun Jing wrote, the smile on his face became more and more.
Even if you don't care about the neatness of writing with a brush, it won't be any faster no matter how fast you write. Therefore, it took more than half an hour to finish writing Yunjing.
When he finished the last stroke, Li Qiu couldn't help but pick up everything written by Yun Jing and look at it again and again. Finally, he said happily: "Jing'er, you really did not disappoint me. The ninety-nine questions in front are all correct, and there is no mistake."
, Based on these alone, there is no problem in getting the title of Tongsheng."
After a pause, he continued: "This year's test questions are still difficult for children's exams compared to previous years, especially because there are some small traps in the test questions, such as the question of falling a hundred pears, which is easy to fail.
People make mistakes when hesitating, so they want to be right all the time. For the candidates of the Tongsheng Examination, I am afraid that not many people can do it. If you can do this, it is very valuable."
After hearing what Master said, Yunjing was still very happy and felt confident.
He believed in his master's vision and thought that a child's reputation would be stable, but the final result was not certain, so he calmly said: "It's all because of master's usual teachings."
"Being a teacher only teaches you how to be a human being. What you learn in these schools is all the result of your own efforts. You don't have to be humble." Li Qiu smiled and added: "The ninety-nine questions in front of you.
Let’s not talk about being a teacher for the moment. The last poem is pretty good for your age and experience. Although it cannot be compared with poems written by people who are knowledgeable and experienced, I hope I can get it in this Tongsheng test.
It’s not difficult to get a high rating”
Hearing what the master said, Yun Jing felt a little ashamed and said: "Master, you also know that my disciple's talent for poetry has never been good. I have tried my best on this poem."
Yunjing also knew that he was not good at writing poetry, but after all the test questions, he could only bite the bullet and take it. It was like taking the composition test in his previous life. He couldn't leave it blank just because he felt he couldn't write well. However,
According to the master's evaluation, he felt that his poetry was not bad at this age.
Yunjing wanted to cover his face, ashamed.
After all, he is not a real child. The poems he has racked his brains to compose are only at this level. Although his master said that he is pretty good among his peers, Yunjing really feels embarrassed compared with a bunch of kids, so he said
, I really am not that kind of person. I will try my best not to write poems unless absolutely necessary in the future, so as not to be embarrassed.
Copying poems, Yun Jing still doesn't think about it, even if he doesn't compose poems, he won't do that.
Li Qiu said: "Jing'er, after all, poetry is a minor path, just for entertainment. Knowledge is the foundation. Don't put too much thought on it. It's just a test of poetry for children. In the future, scholars and even higher fame will almost never
I don’t know how to take the poetry test. After all, poetry cannot govern the country or solve people’s livelihood problems, so you don’t need to care too much.”
"Disciple, I understand," Yun Dingding nodded.
He thought about it for a while and concluded that the Dali Dynasty should be very pragmatic, and scholars should not advocate that kind of bombastic talk from across the river.
Finally, Li Qiu put down his 'examination paper' and said: "Judging from your test answers, and the fact that you have been the academic leader of the class these years, I think you can definitely hit the top spot in the county in this imperial examination."
quota, but don’t be too happy too early. Before the final results come out, no guesswork can be made. After all, there is never a shortage of geniuses in the world. It’s no surprise that a few pop up occasionally.”
Yunjing thought the same way. He didn't know whether he would be able to take first place in the end. After all, a child born with fame would probably be fine.
Then Li Qiu looked at him and said: "It shouldn't be a big problem to be a child born with merit. When the results are released, you will also be a person with merit. It's time to give you a title. Rong Weishi has thought about it carefully these days.
Then, once you gain fame, you will no longer be a Mengtong, and your hair style will have to change. A child will wear a scarf, and a scholar will wear a crown. From now on, you will not have to complain about the ugly horns on your head, haha..."
At the end of the story, Li Qiu couldn't help but feel happy.
Yunjing complained more than once that the general corner was ugly, but no matter how ugly it was, he could only endure it in the past.
"Children wear scarves? Is it like putting a piece of cloth on the head to wrap the hair?" Yun Jing asked.
Li Qiu nodded and said, "Not bad."
Yunjing thought about it, and it was okay. It was better looking than the other two.
Then Li Qiu said again: "Jing'er, after you obtain the title of Tongsheng, your future schoolwork will begin to be arduous, and it will be much more arduous. There are many things to learn, including teaching you martial arts as promised by your teacher, and then playing piano and chess."
You have to dabble in such elegant subjects as calligraphy and painting, so it’s time to assign you a book boy. I’ll arrange it for you in the next two days.”
"Thank you, Master," Yun Jing nodded.
But I was secretly thinking, I wonder if the book boy could be a woman...
Um, what are you thinking? It must have been influenced by Wang Bolin's astringent comments, yes, that must be the case!
"It's just a small matter, Jing'er doesn't have to be like this. By the way, my teacher originally wanted to take this opportunity to take you to meet your two senior brothers, but they have already gone to the state capital, and they will start to take the examination soon. It's really
It's not a coincidence, but I will stay for a few more days. Do you want to stay with me in the county and go back together in a few days, or go back with other gentlemen tomorrow?" Li Qiu said about the arrangements for the next few days.
Come out and let Yunjing make his own choice.
After thinking seriously for a moment, Yunjing said: "Master, I have decided to stay and go back with you. It is a rare trip to the county. I want to go shopping. After all, I don't know when I will have the chance to come next time. And
I also want to know my exam results as soon as possible.”
"That's fine, but I have to prepare some things for you that you will learn and use next, but I don't have much time to accompany you, so I can only have Liu Dazhuang and the others accompany you next. Don't be separated from them, safety is important.
", Li Qiu nodded.
Yun Jing said: "I will pay attention and will not run around or join in the fun."
"It's good that Jing'er knows. And, since you're still young, don't go to places like casinos and brothels, especially casinos. Those places are dirty and messy. As for elegant places, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't follow that boy like Wang Bolin.
I have been thinking about these things since I was young, huh, I still remember what he said yesterday, I guess I can’t escape the punishment of copying books!" Li Qiu warned.
Yun Jing wanted to laugh. Master actually still remembered this. That boy Wang Bolin was going to live a "good life" for a few days, so he held a moment of silence for him.
"Okay, Jing'er, let me tell you what you thought when you were doing these test questions."
"Okay Master..."
