Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters as usual
Ling Yun remained silent, but in order to prevent being harassed, he shook his head, then decisively lay down and covered himself with the quilt.
Seeing this, the man stopped pestering him. He just cursed, shook his head and said, "What a fool. He can't even speak."
Maybe it was because the quilt was quite warm that he fell asleep inadvertently. When he woke up, the sky outside was still dark, but it had begun to turn white.
He stood up decisively, packed up the quilt, and then did dozens of push-ups in succession, which warmed up his body that was originally cold after being separated from the quilt.
The sky was getting whiter. First, soldiers patrolled the venue to check whether there were any prohibited items. Then with the sound of a gong, the examiner stood up and read out the rules of the examination room. After that, it was the examiner's turn to come out and speak. The content was nothing more than for them, the candidates.
Cheer up.
Just like soldiers going to the battlefield, the general is there to inspire fighting spirit.
After ten years of hard study, success or failure will all depend on today.
Just like the hometown examination, three bronze drum sounds "哐哐哐" sounded, which heralded the beginning of the exam and the examiner began to hand out test papers.
Like the hometown examination, the general examination is divided into three sessions.
In the first session, the "Four Books" have three meanings, and in the "Five Classics" they have four meanings; in the second session, there is one essay, five judgments, one edict, one edict, and one sentence each; in the third session, there are five examinations of classics and historical policies.
It roughly includes three types: classic meaning, law, and policy.
The test questions and the gist of the answers are all from the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics", and the test paper is written in a strict eight-legged essay format. There must be no breakthroughs in the content and writing format of the answers. (Note: Reference to the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty)
There are a total of seven questions in three days. Ling Yun plans to ask three questions on the first day and two questions on the following days.
Well planned, I just took a quick look at the questions and found that the contents were mostly similar to the local exams, but the meaning and coverage were much wider, not that they were too unfamiliar.
The people who have come here are already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and they know them by heart. They are not unfamiliar at all. The same is true for Ling Yun, so the meaning of the classics is not difficult for him, but it requires careful consideration and repeated reasoning.
Room No. 1 was small, and it was early in the morning, so the light in Room No. 1 was extremely dim. I stared at the half-burned candles from last night and did not dare to light a fire. The reason was that I was afraid that there would not be enough candles.
Even at the Kyoto Examination Institute, he could not guarantee whether there would be enough candles. If only one was given out at night, he would not be able to use the half of the candle.
The ancient imperial examination was not like the college entrance examination of later generations. Anyone who has taken the college entrance examination knows that in the college entrance examination examination hall of later generations, no matter what the candidates lacked, the invigilator would find ways to meet the candidates' formal requirements for all examinations.
But that's not the case in the ancient imperial examination room. The examiner here will not help you find something just because you lack something. Even if you are sick, as long as you don't faint, the examiner will not look at you, let alone help.
If anyone dares to speak in the examination room, you can congratulate that candidate in advance and exclude him from the examination and expel him directly from the examination room.
After handing out the test paper, he spent a long time thinking about the answers to the questions and wrote down the contents in his mind on a piece of paper. After several revisions and deliberation, he finally reached the optimal answer.
Speaking of the optimal answer, in fact, there is no prescribed optimal answer for the imperial examination. It just depends on whether the candidate's written content is in line with the examiner's appetite. Only if it is in line will he have a chance.
Therefore, in the ancient imperial examinations, academics were one of them, and the most important thing was to copy the examiner's articles, so that we could understand in a short time what the question writer wanted to express.
After repeatedly revising and confirming, when he was sure there were no problems, he moved on to the next question.
Although the room was small, the cold wind was pervasive, especially the small burst of cold and biting wind that made his face freeze. If he encountered such a situation, he must have secretly told himself to be patient, and must be patient.
But there was such an exception. When the cold wind blew, the guy opposite Ling Yun was cursing and expressing his cold wind greetings. Although his voice was not very loud, Ling Yun could hear it clearly. Besides, in this silent examination room,
The soldiers will never fail to hear it.
When he was puzzled, the soldier heard the sound and ran to the door of the man's cell. Just when he thought the man would be driven away, he was stunned by what the soldier did.
The soldier put his head in and muttered a few times. Ling Yun didn't hear what he said clearly, but the soldier left quickly. The man was fine at all, and his jaw dropped.
What made him even more unbelievable was that within a moment, the soldier brought the charcoal and the iron pot and handed them to the man.
This kind of treatment that was different from ordinary people made him fall into deep self-doubt, and he couldn't help but sigh, is there really fairness in this world?
Realizing that I was a little uneasy, I immediately looked back and focused on the exam again.
During lunch time, he completed the drafts of two questions. With this efficiency in writing questions, he would definitely complete the first day's tasks ahead of schedule, which also made him more confident and confident.
He hurriedly finished lunch, leaned against the wall, and began to think about the third question. He only made a rough outline, but did not solve it in full.
Since he had digested his lunch well, he was going to take a lunch break so that he could feel full in the afternoon, so he lay down on the wooden board and fell asleep.
When the man opposite saw Ling Yun falling asleep after eating, he immediately put down his pen unhappily and fell asleep.
When he woke up, he first wiped his cheek gently with a handkerchief, then returned to normal and continued to immerse himself in the test questions.
At the moment of application, he had finished the draft of the first day's test questions. Looking at the answers scrawled and corrected on the draft paper, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.
The next step is to transfer the answers on the draft to the answer sheet. The transfer process is very slow, stroke by stroke, word by word, which is particularly energy-consuming.
There must be no mistakes in this process of handing over answers. Ling Yun is extremely careful and cautious.
Every time I finish writing a question, I will stop and take a break for half a cup of tea, because being highly concentrated for a long time can easily make mistakes.
The three questions took nearly an hour. Such a waste of energy made him let out a long sigh of relief after completing them.
After three years, he was still a little nervous when he went to the examination room again, which was why he was so cautious.
Waiting for the ink marks on the answered questions to dry, I picked it up and blew it. I found that there were no problems, so I carefully placed it in the answer sheet bag prepared in advance.
