Chapter 024 The smell is pleasant

The first round of the government examination officially begins.

Read the papers first.

Judging from the examination questions, they are quite similar to those tested in the county examination. They are still mainly about pasting scriptures, that is, silent writing. The selected contents are also within the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are no miscellaneous questions.

There is some difference in terms of length. These short-answer questions take up a bit of space.

For example, the first part of the test paper begins with the first sentence of an article and ends with the last sentence, leaving a large blank space in the middle that needs to be filled in. The initial estimate is more than a thousand words.

The other parts are slimmer than the first part, but still require hundreds of words.

The fill-in-the-blank questions of later generations are nothing compared to this.

There is no skill to this kind of question. As long as you memorize it well and perform normally now, it won't be a big problem.

Although it's not too difficult, you can't be careless.

You need to keep your writing speed and your fonts neat. If you haven't finished writing when the time is up, you're doomed.

It's not good to write too fast. If you accidentally make a typo, it will be a big problem.

Erase it? It will be judged as a dirty paper and it will be finished.

Whoever writes well, writes quickly and makes fewer mistakes will be the winner in the exam.

The examination room was very quiet, except for the occasional footsteps of the examining examiner, and then the crow of a crow flying over the examination room.

Gua~~~

Hearing such a sound suddenly at this juncture would make anyone hate and curse in their heart.

Damn it!

I don't know who is going to be unlucky.



You are not allowed to leave the examination room for lunch, so you have to eat inside. The examination room is responsible for providing boiled water for free.

However, no one can swallow it smoothly. Dining next to the smelly Gongtong always feels like eating stinky tofu.

Then you have to eat! If you really can't do it, cover your nose. If you faint from hunger, you will be the unlucky one.

Jingle Bell!

The first ringing bell sounded, and the fastest writing talent in the field was born.

All the candidates were envious when they heard this: Oh! I wish that person were myself!

Unexpectedly, an unexpected scene occurred when the book was sealed.

A gust of breeze blew his answer sheet into the sky. When he caught it back, he found that it had been contaminated by someone's spit on the ground.

As a result, he was sentenced on the spot: careless!

Then there was a burst of helpless crying, and he cursed: Damn crow!

In the end, the guy was kicked out for disturbing the exam room...

All the candidates were stunned: Damn it, your hands must not be soft!

After this 'role model' appeared, the candidates' hands were trembling and they didn't dare to shake.

Niang Xipi is afraid of getting dirty when it rains, but she didn’t expect that such a sunny and windy day would also be dangerous.

Qi Yu carefully checked the answer sheet again, focusing on his name, place of origin, and age. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he rang the bell and handed in the answer sheet.

Then the paper is sealed, the name is affixed, and the seal is affixed.

This is how the first session of the government examination ended.

From a feeling point of view, there shouldn't be any big problems with this scene. These are all dictation questions. They are things that are memorized by rote. It is not difficult to say that it is difficult.

Outside the examination room, there are still all kinds of people, and the candidates are all talking in groups.

Someone smiled faintly: "I was blind to some of the questions, and I don't know if they are correct or not!"

Someone else said: "I feel like I did pretty well in the exam, but it's a pity that I just wrote a few words wrong, and it's inevitable that I'll be judged for dirty papers."

Another person said: "The questions shouldn't be big this time. I've answered all the questions I have to answer!"

In addition, there are some people who cry silently, and they seem to have predicted the outcome in advance.



Qi Jing looked relaxed and seemed to be performing well. When he saw Qi Yu on the stage, he took the initiative to come over and say hello.

"How did Brother Qi do in the exam?"

"Absolutely, what about you?"

“It feels okay!”

"Uh, that's okay."

While they were chatting, Qi Yu suddenly felt a chill on his back. He glanced back and saw that Yin Jun was already standing behind him, and with him was his brother-in-law Liu Jincheng.

Before he could ask, Qi Yu said leisurely: "I didn't do well in the exam, just average."

Yin Jun glanced at him: "I also did average in the exam. Well, I didn't have any dirty papers this time..."

This guy... did well in the exam?

Qi Yu glanced at Liu Jincheng again and asked with concern: "How did you do in the exam?"

“Absolutely perfect!”

Although he said this, there was no confidence in his words, and it sounded more like an angry statement.

Qi Yu sighed sadly, as if he had guessed something.

"I can definitely survive this one." Yin Jun said with certainty.

"This is only the first scene. The one who laughs at the end is the real master." Qi Yu said with a smile.

"vulgar!"

Yin Jun waved his big hand and left angrily, while Liu Jincheng also hurriedly left side by side with him.

These two figures are very close...

Looking at it, Qi Yu's heart suddenly clicked. Two grown men standing side by side like this, could it be...the sleeves of a broken arm?

Um!

The more I look at him, the more he looks like him. Yin Jun is fair and tender, and he really has the talent to be a good face.

Thinking of this, a chill ran up my back. Isn't my brother-in-law really enjoying this?

Seeing that his eyes were blurry, Qi Jing thought that he had been hurt and couldn't get off the stage, so he persuaded him: "Some people just don't want others to be better than themselves. Brother Qi, don't worry about it. Reading is the most important thing right now. Don't be affected by trivial matters."

Already."

"Brother Qi is right, let's go."

Time is indeed precious these days, and wasting time is tantamount to destroying your future. There is no point in exchanging business blows. Sharpening your guns before the battle is the first priority.

The government examination is a elimination system. Only after passing the first test can you take the second test, and then the third test.

After the first two exams, it’s time for a break and it’s also time for results to be announced.

It is impossible to take a rest, you still have to look at the rankings! If you are really not on the rankings, you can really take a rest.

I heard the sound of a cannon in the distance, oh, the list was posted.

Below the list are two traditional forms of life. Those who win first dance with joy, and then go back to study after the excitement of self-excitement has passed. While those who fail the list mourn for a while, waiting to vent their resentments about life.

After finishing, I went back to pack my bed and roll.

The overcrowded apartment building suddenly became much deserted. It can be seen that after this big battle, the attrition was very obvious.

Qi was on the list of honors, but he couldn't be happy. Although he was ranked eighteenth, Dao Yinjun was ranked second, only one step away from being the head of the case.

The rumors are true, this guy is really a talented guy.

As for Qi Jing, he is ranked in the middle. He does not show off his skills and performs steadily.

Liu Jincheng fell behind Sun Shan and was at the bottom of the list... Although he was at the bottom of the list, he still managed to pass without any danger.

In the apartment, after the big waves, the candidates are all engaged in a new round of sprint.

"Brother Qi, I have some medicinal powder here that can be put in the nostrils to numb the sense of smell. Do you want to give it a try?" Qi Jing said mysteriously.

Qi Yu looked confused. He really couldn't understand how this kind of thing could be helpful for the exam. But seeing the pious look on his face, he didn't refuse and just poured some into his nose and snorted some.

sweat!

Why do I feel something is wrong? Is this medicine addictive?

Fortunately, there is no pleasant feeling after this thing enters the nose. Apart from a somewhat weakened sense of smell, there is no other discomfort.

However, when it was time for the exam the next day, Qi Yu truly admired Qi Jing's foresight. This dear friend had served as a general in his ancestors, so he must have been well-informed and had already figured out every detail of the exam.



No one has dumped the bucket in the examination shed. The excrement stored in the past few days is still there. After these days of brewing and fermentation, the smell is absolutely intoxicating.

Although the sense of smell has weakened, it is still a little unbearable. Alas! If this is the case for myself, let alone others?

Be steady!

Concentrate your mind and focus on nothing else!

Qi Yu took a few deep breaths and hurriedly calmed down and started reviewing the questions.

The second test was essay.

Miscellaneous essays are special literary forms other than poems, poems, poems, praises, eulogies, proverbs, edicts, and other styles. They focus on being miscellaneous and elegant.

Seeing this subject matter, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of the later Master Lu. His essays were enough to scare any candidate.

Compared with the first game, the difficulty of this game is higher.

The topic is as follows: Write an essay with the title "General Hussar Confessing the Wolf to Live in Xu".

This title is both an allusion and a piece of history. It comes from "Historical Records" and tells the story of the Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing going north to attack the Xiongnu, sealing the wolf to live in Xu Mountain, meditating in Guyan, and ascending to the vast sea.

Let's start with the question. Huo Qubing was a famous military strategist in history. In the words of later generations, he was definitely a fierce man. He fought all the way to the Lake Baikal area, and his military exploits alone are astonishing in ancient times and today.

So the question is, how to understand the central idea of ​​this essay?

Is it an expression of inspiration and the life pursuit of an individual who strives to make progress?

Or does it express a kind of national-level domineering spirit of expanding territories and conquering foreign races?

These are two different perspectives, one private and one public, small and large, it all depends on the individual's choice.

How to choose?

Choosing both? It’s okay! But it’s very likely that you’ll end up with a vague judgment. Today’s articles are much more rigorous than those of later generations.

This question seems a bit confusing!

Qi Yu calmed down, filtered through ancient history, thought about it, and decided to analyze and look at the problem from the perspective of current affairs.

Although the current Dafeng dynasty is powerful, the Tatar and Oara forces entrenched in the north are still eyeing it and harassing the border from time to time. It is said that the late emperor visited the border several times during his lifetime and paid extraordinary attention to it.

The current situation is somewhat similar to that of the Western Han Dynasty in history, except that the Xiongnu in the north have been replaced by the current Tatars and Oaras.

Using this as a reference, the central idea can be determined, that is: the territory of our dynasty is sacred and inviolable, otherwise we will be punished no matter how far away we are.

Having said that, you still need to use some skills to answer the questions, and you cannot tell the truth.

Is such that.

Confucianism has always attached great importance to benevolence and righteousness, and it is taboo to resort to violence and make rash decisions. In other words, even if you want to beat someone up, you must pretend to be just and awe-inspiring. This is the so-called teacher's reputation.

If you directly write that our family has strong soldiers and horses, and we can destroy whoever we want, then it would seriously violate the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the result... would be doomed.

Qi Yu quoted extensively, adding a few sentences here and a paragraph there, and finally smoothed out the meaning.

Finally, he used ancient metaphors to describe the present, and highly praised our dynasty's correctness and foresight in dealing with foreign races. Again, praise!

The whole article is written in a smooth and coherent manner, with righteous words and magnificent words.

Perfect!

After checking it carefully again, Qi Yu couldn't wait to ring the bell and hand in the paper.

I really can’t wait!

The smell is so pleasant!

Different from the last time, the candidates who appeared this time no longer talked about each other or explored each other. They all took the time to rush back to their residences and wash off the smell first.

Then, there was a loud flushing sound in the apartment.

The deacon's clerk seemed to have anticipated this and prepared twice as much water as usual, which was enough.

After Qi Yu washed up and changed into clean clothes, he started reading a book leisurely.

"Is this medicine easy to use?" Qi Jing raised his head and asked meaningfully.

"It's easy to use! Thank you very much, Brother Qi. Without your guidance, I might have been interfered by the outside world and affected my performance." Qi Yu thanked him quickly.

Small favors are also feelings. This Qi Jing is indeed righteous and worth dating.
