Some people with darker skin shyly cover their eyes when they take off their clothes.
For no other reason than because he took off his pants, revealing a field of white flowers from behind, which was particularly conspicuous.
If it had not been at this serious time, it would definitely have caused a roar of laughter, but at this time, everyone was silent, and no one dared to be bold enough to openly challenge the imperial system.
Ling Yun couldn't help but sigh, it's a good thing that red underwear was not invented in this era, otherwise the scene where the red underwear is covered in the clothes, thinking about it, he would definitely be the most handsome boy in the whole room.
Ling Yun took his exam guide and followed the yamen servant to the examination room.
It is worth mentioning that the test guide in Ling Yun's hand is actually similar to the admission ticket used in modern examinations.
The only difference is that one is made of paper and the other is carved from bamboo slices similar to a waist badge.
Sometimes Ling Yun thinks that there are actually many things in ancient times that have been used by later generations, and textual research is one of them.
Of course! It’s one thing to follow it, but it can never be applied directly.
Get rid of the dross and get the best!
This is one of the principles used.
Removing the feudal and worthless things and leaving the most essential parts is a correct view of inheritance.
The operating procedures of the prefecture examination and the county examination are basically the same, but the prefecture examination benefits from the fact that candidates do not need to carry their own things with them, and the entry speed can be described as fast compared to the county examination.
Under the leadership of the yamen servant, Ling Yun came to his room.
Suddenly, I discovered that there is a special thing about the imperial examination, that is, there is a porcelain basin under the table in the dormitory.
Ling Yun didn't know why, and after asking the yamen servant, he found out that it was for candidates to relieve themselves, that is, to urinate, and the porcelain basin was equivalent to a urinal.
Ling Yun, who knew the answer, was surprised. Sure enough, the examination room at a higher level had relatively sufficient preparations for the candidates.
In this way, the candidates do not need to get up and go to the toilet to relieve themselves. They can just do it on the spot in the room in front of the porcelain basin, which can save the candidates a lot of time.
However, the purpose of the porcelain basin is only to solve the problem of the small size. If you need to go to the toilet, you still cannot escape the terrifying scene and the extremely fragrant and unforgettable smell.
The toilets in the government examination room were located at the end of the examination room, just opposite to those in the county examinations. Ling Yun took a quick look when he came in, and his approximate position was around the middle, back, or left.
Frankly speaking, Ling Yun has been feeling uneasy since he knew he was closer to the toilet.
At the same time, I silently prayed in my heart, hoping that the air in the examination room could be smoother, otherwise the stench would permeate the air, making it not only difficult to sleep, but also inedible when eating.
The first exam, just as Ling Yun thought, was about recitation.
Ling Yun took a cursory glance and found that all the titles were excerpted from various fragments of the Four Books and Five Classics.
At the same time, I have to admire the superb way in which the prefect of Anzhou came up with the questions. He actually connected the incoherent questions in the book so appropriately.
If he hadn't already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, he would have been able to overturn his teachings.
Thinking of the fat man who didn't like to recite, Ling Yun muttered silently in his heart, hoping that he would have good luck, otherwise he would just ask for more blessings!
The fat man, who was grinding his teeth in hatred while filling in the blanks and dictating, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.
I couldn't help cursing in my heart, what kind of evil thing was it that actually said bad things about me during my exam?
The article he had originally memorized was completely forgotten because of these sneezes. No matter how much he thought about it, he still had no clue.
The main part of reciting is filling in the blanks and writing silently. There are three to five fill-in-the-blanks in one sentence, and each fill-in-the-blank comes from a different Tie Jing.
After Ling Yun wrote down the answer, he found that the content was very smooth and catchy to read. This was why he had to sigh at the superb method of the Anzhou prefect in formulating the questions.
Before deciding to write it down, Ling Yun had already checked the answer three times in his mind to prevent any mistakes.
After all, once there are typos on the test paper, it becomes a useless paper.
At that time, even if you write a shocking or shocking article on the test paper, the examiner will no longer look down at it.
This is the imperial examination, and the strictness of the writing on the test paper. No matter who is found to have made any traces of alteration, even just a trace, will be thrown into death row.
As a result, when Ling Yun wrote down the answer, he was very careful and cautious, fearing that he would have to wait for three years if he was not careful.
These three years are not the three years of the government examination, but the three years of the college examination.
There is one college examination every three years and two government examinations every three years.
Ling Yun did the first test questions very well. He browsed up and down carefully and got almost 50% of the scores. Ling Yun's heart calmed down unconsciously, knowing that this test was stable.
I saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, feeling very happy.
Overly excited, he took a sip of saliva to calm down and began to review the questions.
As soon as noon arrived, there was immediately the sound of movement in the examination room. Having experienced the last examination, Ling Yun knew that it was most likely the government officials bringing food.
Ling Yun actually didn't like the food in the examination room. In his impression, it was either cold or hard.
Sure enough, when I saw the meal that the government servants brought to Ling Yun, I could describe it as leftovers.
Not only that, Ling Yun discovered that this meal was the same as the food for the county examination.
You can't say they don't look alike, they are just carved out one by one, exactly the same.
He didn't care that it was just cakes, porridge and pickles. He was wondering who was imitating whom?
He curled his lips, not wanting to know the answer. After all, he still had to eat.
The coarse biscuits are dry and hard, comparable to coarse bran rice, and when you bite into them, your mouth squeaks.
Ling Yun had no choice but to eat the coarse cake with porridge. He didn't want to break his teeth while eating.
After all, the teeth of teenagers are still relatively fragile, and eating rough biscuits in this way will make the stomach smoother.
It is already April, and the weather is not as bitter as winter, but it is still very cold, and the food served is still not satisfactory.
It’s okay if the biscuits are cold. Can’t the porridge be a little hot?
How about keeping it warm a little?
If any of the candidates have stomach problems and eat this cold food, they may feel like they are undergoing acupuncture!
After lunch, Ling Yun took a nap first.
He didn't stand up and move around until almost two o'clock, so that he could reach the awake state faster and enter the state as quickly as possible.
But it’s not easy to make too big a move. If you attract the invigilator, you’ll lose more than you gain!
Sure enough, his mental state was different after a good sleep. He felt like he was radiating vitality now.
When Ling Yun stood up and stretched his muscles, he took the opportunity to glance at the candidates nearby.
I found that most of them were drowsy at this time and could not devote themselves to solving the questions.
The efficiency and accuracy of this kind of question writing can be imagined!
Fortunately, Ling Yun has a good habit of napping. This long-standing habit of napping allows him to wake up naturally at a certain time, without having to worry about oversleeping.
Without this habit, Ling Yun would not dare to take a nap in the examination room easily.
Because if you are not careful and fall asleep in the examination room until the papers are collected, you will have no choice but to leave the examination room with regret.
