Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh storm is coming
It was probably early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and some candidates were already getting up.
Some candidates are about to burn out a candle, and they don’t know whether they went to bed late last night or got up early in the morning.
Su Yizhao looked at the earthen pot that had just started to smoke in a daze. This small clay stove was really slow to cook porridge. If there was no dry food, she would not cook it.
The candidate opposite also started to yawn. When he saw Su Yizhao staring blankly at the earthen pot, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The candidate opposite is named Huang Shiyao, who is from the same Xuan government and has already failed to win this year.
Huang Shiyao felt that the examinee opposite was a bit stupid. With all the time spent cooking porridge, couldn't he write a few words?
He sighed, then picked up yesterday's bamboo tube and lifted the hem.
Su Yizhao happened to raise his head and look towards the opposite side. When he saw that the other side was doing the same thing again, he immediately lowered his head.
She felt that this candidate was a bit confused. You were worried, so you should at least lower the curtain. It was really insulting to deal with it so openly.
Su Yizhao shook her head and watched as the lid of the earthen pot was pushed open by the steam. She quickly moved the lid away.
After waiting for another half an hour, the porridge was barely cooked.
Su Yizhao's calmness and leisureliness made Huang Shiyao on the other side sneer at him. This young master was really used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food. Even when he came to take an exam, he had to eat and drink well.
Is it already the end of Chenshi? Only then did he see Su Yizhao laying out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and starting to write.
Su Yizhao carefully considered the answer to yesterday's classic question, deleted it, and copied it onto the paper.
A question on the meaning of a scripture requires more than 300 words. It uses a Chinese sentence in the scripture as the title, and the candidate writes an essay to explain its meaning.
This is a test of the candidate's skills. During this period, it is essential to quote scriptures and read extensively.
In fact, it was a composition from a previous life. Based on the examiner's preferences that Su Wenqing and the others had inquired about before, Su Yizhao thought it would be as gorgeous as possible.
However, it cannot be too empty, it still has something to say.
Nowadays, the answers to the questions on classics and meanings in Dayun Dynasty are similar to the questions on the Four Books, which require eight steps such as breaking the question, completing the question, etc.
After Su Yizhao finished writing one article, he looked at the second one.
"Do it with the emperor, and use Kun with it to hide it. When the emperor comes out, he will be shaken, and when he comes, he will be like Xun."
This is the "Book of Changes", and this paragraph comes from the "Book of Changes Shuo Gua Zhuan".
"Book of Changes" is divided into two parts: "Jing" and "Zhuan". "Jing" is relatively simple, consisting of hexagram images, hexagram names, as well as the hexagrams and lineaments written by King Wen of Zhou, which were written by saints from three generations.
The "Zhuan" is relatively rich, and it can be regarded as an explanation of the "Book of Changes". The author is Confucius and Confucian scholars.
These two sentences are not from a paragraph. Su Yizhao wrote its source on the draft paper, "Thunder is used to move it, wind is used to disperse it, rain is used to moisten it, the sun is used to swell it, gen is used to stop it, and it is used to explain it.
Qian is used to rule it, Kun is used to hide it."
This is the origin of the first half of the sentence, and then it is "The emperor is shocked, the emperor is shocked, the emperor is united, the meeting is separated, and the service is Kun..."
It's really a long paragraph, and the question is a bit tricky.
In this case, she can only start to answer the question by combining the previous and later paragraphs. In this case, the content of the required answer needs to be extended.
The Book of Changes is relatively difficult to learn, and it took Su Yizhao several months to fully understand it.
If you want to apply what you have learned and master it, it will not work without hard work.
Fortunately, she has a good memory, which is a huge advantage for reading.
"In the innate hexagram position, the two elders take over the contribution, and in the acquired hexagram position, the two elders take over the contribution."
After Su Yizhao finished writing the broken topic, his thoughts suddenly became smoother, and he felt like he had divine help when he started writing.
On this day, she finished writing all three questions, and there was only one last question left. Su Yizhao planned to leave it until tomorrow.
If you finish writing early, what should you do tomorrow?
You can't just get up early in the morning, pack your things and leave, right? Then you shouldn't be hated by thousands of people?
No wonder Su Wenqing left the Gongyuan Academy early and said he slept all the time during the exam. This is really boring! What can he do if he doesn't sleep?
He glanced at the sky and said, "Well! It's time to make dinner!"
I made pancake soup for dinner, and the side dishes were still dried meat and pickles, and I planned to save some beans and the like for later.
After eating, Su Yizhao didn't plan to write anymore. Instead, she got up and did some simple exercises. She felt a little uncomfortable after sitting all day.
Huang Shiyao, who was opposite, saw Su Yizhao doing all kinds of weird actions, and suddenly felt that this candidate was somewhat interesting.
The officials who visited this place kept a close eye on Su Yizhao, fearing that she might try to cheat.
Su Yizhao didn't care about other people's eyes. After exercising and feeling a little digested, he put on the board and got ready to sleep.
Huang Shiyao watched in silence as Su Yizhao put down the curtain. This man was so calm! He still had three sutras to write down! He didn't know how much he had written.
He couldn't help but be curious about Su Yizhao. This candidate was only twelve or thirteen years old and looked very immature, but his appearance was rare and good-looking.
Suddenly, he thought of a person. At this age and with such good looks, he couldn't be the famous seventh son of the Su family, right?
"In ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps, and today Su wrote a poem in seven or eight steps."
He remembered the way Su Yizhao was writing furiously just now. He looked calm and calm. It seemed that he was strategizing!
Su Yizhao didn't know that the examinee opposite was looking at her with admiration. At this moment, she was covering her body with the thin quilt in disgust.
It is almost late autumn, and the nights are as cold as water. If you catch a cold, it will affect your future exams.
She closed her eyes tightly, it was too early, and she still couldn't sleep, so she simply re-read the articles she had written in the past few days.
The tip of her nose was filled with the musty smell of the thin quilt, and before she knew it, she fell into sleep.
The last day of the first session is the most intense moment for all candidates.
Su Yizhao finished writing the last question, and then guessed that it was probably around 6 o'clock in the morning.
After checking all the papers twice and waiting for the ink to dry, Su Yizhao observed the three candidates opposite him in boredom.
From her angle, she could only see the three candidates opposite her. Among them, the candidate on the left was scratching her head and looking sad.
The one in the middle seemed to notice her gaze, so he also raised his head and looked back.
The other party smiled at Su Yizhao, which surprised Su Yizhao.
However, the two of them did not dare to communicate much with their eyes. This was not the time to make friends, and it might be regarded as cheating.
Moreover, the other party is also busy writing, and today is the last day.
Su Yizhao withdrew his gaze. Should he hand it over or not? Is it too early?
At this moment, the sky suddenly became dark.
Early this morning, Su Yizhao noticed that the weather was not good, so she finished writing the paper early.
Is it going to rain? I thought about it, but soon the wind started blowing.
The examinee on the opposite right had his paper blown so loudly that he was so frightened that he quickly pressed it down with an inkstone.
After a while, the sky turned dark.
Unable to wait any longer, Su Yizhao immediately rang the bell.
Seeing the Mi Feng official hiding the name of the paper and then sealing it, Su Yizhao was taken to the resting hall by a yamen servant.
Standing at the door and looking out, Su Yizhao realized that a storm was about to come.
