Ling Yun answered the questions very quickly in the first session. At most, he had already finished them all if he only had a little more time to answer the questions.
My personal habit is to first browse the test paper back and forth to see if there are any omissions, and then evaluate the scores so that I know how well I did in this subject.
If his estimation was correct, he could at least achieve an excellent score in this game, which made him feel a little happy.
After everything was arranged and he was chatting away in various ways, he observed the people nearby again. This time, the person opposite him was no longer a fool, but a white-faced scholar.
His face was extremely white, to the point of being pale.
Noticing Ling Yun looking at him again, the man looked towards him.
When he found that Ling Yun had put away the test paper, he couldn't help but give him a sigh and a mocking expression, which was slightly mocking.
Ling Yun probably saw that he put away the test papers so quickly at such a young age, and must have thought that he couldn't do it, so he gave up decisively.
Ling Yun was not angry either. He shrugged and looked diagonally across from him, only to find that he was still dozing off. He was holding a pen tightly in his hand and his head was sinking, up and down, quite rhythmically.
As soon as the bell rang, everyone stopped writing one after another.
A yamen officer in each row collected the test papers in an orderly manner. Just when the yamen officer on the opposite side received the candidates diagonally across from Lingyun, he woke up with a start, grabbed the test paper with both hands, and kept saying, "No, no way."
, I haven’t finished writing yet, just give me half a quarter of an hour, it’ll be fine in a moment.”
The yamen officer took a closer look and saw that someone dared to commit a serious crime and obstructed him from collecting the test papers. He immediately shouted, "How outrageous. As an examinee, you actually obstructed the yamen servant from collecting the test papers. According to the law of the cadres, you should be expelled."
When other patrolling government officials heard this, they rushed over immediately. Two government officials came forward, held the man down, and threatened to expel him from the examination room if he disagreed.
When the man saw this, he immediately cried and knelt down on the ground and kept begging for mercy, "No, no, Brother Guan, I...I was so sleepy that I couldn't remember that I was in the examination room. Please, forgive me."
This time I am."
"Take him away." The chief Yamen officer didn't look at him again and directly motioned to the people below to take him away.
"No...I'm not wrong. Let me go. I'm not wrong. How could I be wrong? You despicable and shameless police officers dare to drive away the candidates privately..." the candidate who was dragged away said
Li kept making quibbles and even insulted the government officials.
As soon as these words came out, the captain of the government office turned pale and green for a while, and he suddenly became furious and said, "How dare you insult an officer? I'll slap him fifty times and throw him out."
Then the man was punished by the officer's palms. In just a moment, the originally innocent man was beaten until he was red, swollen and blue. He lay on the ground and kept making "wow" sounds.
The yamen servant was not merciful, especially from the moment he was scolded as despicable and shameless, the custodial yamen servant acted cleanly.
Before fifty blows were reached, the man was already knocked unconscious.
Upon seeing this, two government officials dragged him out and threw him near the entrance of the examination room.
Ling Yun just felt that that man had read all the books he had read over the years on pigs. Where is this place?
How dare you make such a loud noise?
Isn’t this why I need to clean up?
If you refuse to obey the yamen and be sentenced privately, you can just complain to the yamen afterwards. Although you can't save the chance of taking the government examination, it is better than being rude and insulting the yamen again.
What did you get in the end? It was just slapped and kicked out.
Fortunately, the matter did not escalate to the prefect, otherwise it would not have been as simple as expulsion.
If this disaster were recorded, it would be very difficult for him to take the imperial examination in the future, so the Yamen officials were somewhat suspicious of showing mercy.
After this matter was dealt with, no one dared to make any noise, whether it was meal time or toilet time.
Even the sound of eating was kept very low, for fear of accidentally angering the yamen servant and offending him by expelling him.
The first and second exams were conducted normally except for the incident where the person was expelled from the venue.
It is worth mentioning that the trial room provided quilts for sleeping at night, and Ling Yun was very happy about this.
In March and April, there was continuous drizzle. Although the weather was not considered cold, Lingyun was still a little cold because of the rain.
In addition, there are strict requirements for clothing when entering the government examination, which can only be controlled within a few pieces, so Ling Yun did not wear much.
At that time, Ling Yun was still worried when he saw the regulation. Then when he saw the quilts issued by the government officials, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.
When sleeping at night, the continuous loud shouting is like the croaking of frogs in a pond in summer, rising and falling, really magnificent.
Fortunately, after the last county test, he was now well prepared. He took out the cotton and stuffed it into his ears. Although the sound insulation effect was not satisfactory, it was much quieter at least.
It wasn't until the second night that Ling Yun was convinced by what he said on the first day. People were running to the toilet frequently outside the room. The sound of footsteps coming and going made it difficult for Ling Yun to fall asleep.
Originally, a person would not feel cold if he had a quilt, but he still overestimated the conditions in ancient times. He was covered with a thin quilt that had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it was almost useless on a rainy night.
At this time, there was no charcoal life anymore. Ling Yun sat up, hugged his legs tightly, and covered himself with a thin cotton quilt. He immediately felt much better.
Suddenly, a man with white hair and who looked to be in his fifties passed by in front of him. In the dim light, Ling Yun was so frightened that he had goosebumps.
He took a closer look and saw that his face was pale and he was moving slowly back and forth. When he passed Ling Yun, he was carrying a smell that filled the room. Ling Yun hurriedly covered it with a thin quilt.
Shut your mouth and nose, and stare so wide that your eyeballs almost fell out.
I don't know how long it took, but Ling Yun fell asleep like this.
When he woke up the next day, it was the yamen servant who woke him up while handing out papers. Ling Yun patted his head and broke into a cold sweat.
After regaining his composure, he saluted the yamen officer with his hands to express his gratitude. The latter just nodded slightly.
I don't know if it's because people are going to the toilet one after another, but Ling Yun's face is getting worse and worse, and the smell in the room is getting stronger and stronger. He can't even swallow a few mouthfuls of lunch and dinner. He only relies on his own perseverance.
persist in.
Ling Yun is a person who loves cleanliness. Except for the two scientific examinations, he has never suffered such hardship. It is one thing to be able to bear the pressure in his heart, but it is another thing to be able to bear the taste in his body.
In such a stinky environment, Ling Yun didn't know how to maintain his condition. He kept enduring, but he still kept feeling sick.
It turns out that the imperial examination can really drive people crazy. This kind of daunting environment is the best testimony.
Some people were taken out of the county examination, and the government examination was no exception.
Today is the last day of the government examination, and everyone is gritting their teeth and persisting.
But there are still people who faint while persisting, and this person is now the second person to be carried out today.
When the government officials carried the person away, the man was still holding the pen tightly in his hand. No matter how hard the officials tried to pull him, the candidate still didn't let go.
At this time, the government officials were stunned and moved by this scene.
Finally he finished writing the policy paper. Once the policy paper was finished, it symbolized the end of the government examination. He couldn't help but become ecstatic, bowing his head and stamping his feet.
