When Mao hour arrived, the bronze drum hanging at the top of Annan Gongyuan was finally beaten at this moment.
"Dong dong dong", three bronze drums sounded in an orderly manner, heralding the beginning of the provincial examination.
The guards who maintained discipline began to shout at the candidates behind them from the beginning, signaling the start of the admission inspection.
The rules and precautions of the rural examination are more stringent than those of the previous examinations.
Even the people standing at the door of the examination room had knives on their bodies, so you can imagine how strict they were.
Passing by the guards with swords, Ling Yun could feel a sharp aura from them, as if he was about to draw his sword to kill anyone if he was not careful.
Searching was indispensable, and Ling Yun was used to it. Even when he took off his clothes, he still looked a little shy.
I don’t know if it’s Ling Yun’s illusion, or if it’s because he’s grown taller.
Suddenly, I discovered that my little brother under me was gradually transforming from the young eagle into an eagle, with the tendency to spread his wings and soar.
In the early autumn of August, it was already chilly in the early morning. A gust of breeze hit Ling Yun, who was naked. He was so cold that he shivered like a leaf in the wind and rain, and his body couldn't help shivering.
Ling Yun only trembled slightly, but the team lined up opposite Ling Yun was also hit by this cold wind, but the younger brother underneath him was shrunk by the cold.
The candidates lined up behind that person wanted to laugh but did not dare to. They were afraid that they would laugh out loud. They covered their mouths tightly and veins popped up on their foreheads.
The officer who was checking the man burst out laughing, maybe because he couldn't help it for a moment, causing all the candidates behind him to laugh as well.
In an instant, the candidates lined up around Ling Yun burst into laughter.
"quiet."
The officer next to him saw the commotion and immediately came over and shouted to stop it. The hilarious scene instantly became quiet.
The man neither stopped nor walked. In the end he had to lower his head, get his clothes and quickly put them on before walking in.
After many rounds of inspections, Ling Yun took a deep breath, finally walked through the gate, and followed the guide to his room No. 39.
The Gongyuan built by the imperial court was not as good as Ling Yun imagined. The rooms looked a bit shabby. Because the Gongyuan was spacious, Ling Yun didn't even notice where the toilet was.
But with the arrows guiding him, he wasn't afraid of not finding the place, and it wouldn't be too far away if he thought about it.
But Ling Yun still felt that it was best to stay away from the room.
The bad name is so famous that all the candidates who have seen it will change their expressions, and Ling Yun is no exception.
Last time, he was not sitting on the latest bad bus, but he was smoked into such a state. It was worse than death.
After putting things into the room, Ling Yun took a look. The Gongyuan room was much more spacious than the previous room, so the nine days would not be so painful.
When the time comes, the bronze drum in the tribute courtyard sounds "dong dong" twice, and the gate falls. At this moment, even if the army is approaching the city, the gate will not open before the time is up.
There was still some time before the exam, so Ling Yun could only sit in the room and close his eyes to rest.
Wait until the examiner enters the venue and the countdown begins.
Immediately after the invigilator signaled, the yamen servant carrying a bronze drum knocked lightly, and the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded again. The examiners performed their duties, and the yamen officials handed out the test papers, and the tense atmosphere emerged again.
Except for the yamen officer who handed out the test papers, everyone else in the examination room sat in the waiting room and remained silent.
After receiving the test paper, Ling Yun did not write immediately, but browsed through the test paper as a whole. This was his habit for many years to prevent accidents in the test paper.
Now, he can be said to be cautious and prudent. When he found that there was no mistake, he wrote it down and then began to read the title carefully.
There are three rural examinations, namely Four Books and Five Classics, Policy Questions, and Poems.
There are a total of nine questions in the Four Books and Five Classics, the first four and the last five. This is the legendary Four Books and Five Classics. Each book has one question, no more, no less, just right.
With the test paper at the top and the white paper at the bottom, Ling Yun started to do the questions.
All in all, the candidates were in the best spirit and condition on the first day, and it goes without saying that you will know this as you go on.
Therefore, Ling Yun did not waste time because an exam lasted three days.
Students who take exams must have experienced it. Some people always like to take a nap before exams to recuperate and then do the test questions.
Obviously it doesn't happen here, no one dares to treat their own destiny like this.
There are many people here who are excited and nervous, writing furiously and taking a nap. This kind of childish behavior obviously does not exist.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the bustling world is for benefit.
Everyone in the world is here for profit.
People who come here come here either for fame or profit.
They have only one purpose, and that is to be on the list.
Becoming famous all over the world starts from this moment.
Only after passing the provincial examination can you move forward and participate in next year's Spring Festival. Otherwise, you will have to wait another three years.
Three years after another, how many people devoted their time to the imperial examination like this.
Ling Yun is no exception. Over the years, no one knows better than him what he has paid for this moment.
The poorer the person, the more he desires success and wealth.
Ling Yun was born in a farming family, and he definitely desires to win the rankings more than anyone here. This is the only way for him to change his destiny.
Perhaps because of the countless tests and polishing by Li Chengyou in the past three years, Ling Yun always felt that his thinking was particularly clear and he was very fluent in these test questions. He wrote with great concentration and finished a question in less than half an hour.
It seems that after receiving professional guidance, the results are remarkable and his mood becomes happy.
In just one morning, Ling Yun had finished two Four Book Questions. When it was nap time, he spread the things Xiao He prepared for him on the wooden board, covered him with a quilt, and fell asleep.
It has to be said that Ling Yun is definitely a different kind of existence in this examination room, because as lunch was handed out, the invigilator inspected the examination room and found that he was the only one taking a break.
Rao was a well-informed invigilator. When he saw this situation, he couldn't help but look at Ling Yun and shook his head.
Just when he was about to leave, Ling Yun turned over and exposed his young face in front of the invigilator. The foot he had just raised stopped immediately.
There was no way, Ling Yun was too young. At the age of thirteen, he could tell the difference at a glance, which shocked the invigilator.
He never expected that there would be such a young boy in the examination room. It was really interesting.
The invigilator couldn't help but pick up Ling Yun's test paper and look at it carefully.
Unexpectedly, the more I read, the more surprised I became. In half a day, I actually did two questions from the Four Books?
How could someone at such an age have such talent?
Could it be that he is the proud son of heaven?
"Ling Yun, Ling Yun."
The invigilator recited Ling Yun's name silently in his mind several times, as if he wanted to remember his name firmly.
