On the day of the college examination, it was only the second watch, and Yuzhu got up early. While he was washing up, Wu Jiang and Hanshuang looked at the list and carefully checked the items in the examination basket.
"A large mink fur cloak, five writing brushes, three inkstones, ten boiled eggs, a small stove, silver frost charcoal, diarrhea medicine, Buddhist incense, cotton for plugging ears..." Hanshuang and Wu Jiang checked three times in a row, and then
give up.
Until Yuzhu boarded the car and left the house, Longkoduo and Li Si'er never showed up. Perhaps they were afraid of increasing the pressure on his heart?
When the carriage arrived at the Gongyuan of Shuntian Prefecture, the gate was already crowded with people taking the examination and taking the exam, at least five or six hundred people.
When did there actually be so many bannermen who could read?
At the fourth quarter of Yinzheng period, in the Gongyuan of Shuntian Prefecture, the sound of cannons was fired, and the candidates began to enter.
There are rules for the order in which candidates enter the venue. According to the order of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies, the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner enters first, followed by the Manchurian Bordered Yellow Banner, and so on.
Because his flag score was very high, he entered the hall very early. Yuzhu took the big examination basket carried by Wu Jiang, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the main entrance of the Gongyuan.
In order to prevent candidates from cheating, the soldiers guarding the Gongyuan were all Eight Banners garrison soldiers who had just been transferred from Jingzhou.
When it was Yuzhu's turn, the soldier in charge of the inspection, no matter who he was, shook off all his clothes, took off his shoes for inspection, and turned the test basket upside down.
Fortunately, the small stove with the jade pillar is specially made and can be disassembled and assembled at will. Otherwise, it would be unusable.
Finally, during the body search, Yuzhu was a little itchy and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't laugh." President Qian, who was leading the team, sternly scolded Yuzhu, "If you laugh again, get out."
It has to be said that even if it is a banner examination, the rules are still extremely strict.
After careful inspection, Yuzhu entered the Gongyuan. In a row of waiting pen posts, he confirmed the resumes of three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren, checked his identity in the banner, and was randomly checked on several relatives of the family branches. Only then
I got the number of the dormitory: No. 15, second row, A.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Yuzhu successfully found the dormitory. Seeing it was better than seeing it. The dormitory in front of him was actually just a small pigeon cage.
The dormitory is only four feet wide, with three sides completely sealed by blue bricks. The open side faces the outside and has no doors or windows. In the dormitory, there are two wooden boards placed together, which can be used as a bed. Take them apart and make a bed.
One board serves as a desk and another board serves as a chair.
Apart from that, there is nothing else in the house.
It was still very early, it was freezing cold, and he was shivering from the cold. Yuzhu put two wooden boards together, wrapped himself tightly in a huge sable fur cloak, shrank into the corner, closed his eyes and meditated.
The admission inspection of candidates is quite time-consuming. If we don’t take this opportunity to recharge our batteries, when will we wait?
For exams in cold weather, you must bring something to keep out the cold, such as a fur cloak. This is what Tang Bing specially warned.
The reason is very simple. All clothes made of cotton, linen and silk are easy to carry and will be completely taken apart by the soldiers.
The fur cloak does not need to be disassembled as long as it is not sandwiched. It is also very warm and suitable for sleeping.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yuzhu vaguely heard the sound of cannons. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Lock the courtyard, lock the courtyard!"
According to regulations, after the Gongyuan gate is locked, it cannot be opened without authorization until the end of the exam.
After the candidates enter the dormitory, they are not allowed to leave without permission. The examination questions will be collected by the surveillance soldiers and distributed to the candidates respectively.
Tixue Censor, led the examiners, paid homage to Confucius, and went through many complicated procedures before issuing the examination questions.
After Yuzhu saw the test questions clearly, he couldn't help being slightly stunned. Originally, he only had to do one essay on the "Four Books", but now he added a scripture question and a five-character and six-rhyme poem.
However, Tang Bing was prepared in advance and asked Yuzhu to write more than two hundred five-character and six-rhyme poems with different themes in advance. After repeated revisions, he memorized them completely.
Tang Bing once said that there are always rules to follow in formatted exams. Even if you make the wrong bet, as long as you memorize it, you can always use it as a reference, right?
It was said that it was only one day of examination time, but in fact, it was quite sufficient for Yuzhu, who had already prepared it. He could revise it over and over again, make countless drafts, and then copy it down in Guange style in a disciplined manner.
Yuzhu is a veritable question answering machine. The stack of questions he has answered is taller than a human being.
Different from the government examination and county examination, during the college examination, when you ask students to study censorship or political science, they cannot ask out-of-context and pieced-together uncommon questions.
Yuzhu quickly thought of several old articles that had been carefully revised by Tang Bing. The titles were exactly the same, so he could just copy the original articles.
Hehe, this is the advantage of repeatedly answering questions mechanically. You have practiced all kinds of questions.
Yuzhu had done all the three questions including literature, classics, and poetry, and all of them were model essays that had been carefully revised by Tang Bing. Yuzhu felt confident.
As long as there are no common-sense mistakes when copying, it is a matter of course that he will be a scholar. As for the final ranking, Yuzhu didn't think about it at all.
Yuzhu dismantled the door panel, set up a small stove, lit a fire, boiled a pot of water in a small copper kettle, made a cup of fragrant tea, and then threw the boiled eggs in.
In the test basket, the snacks that were originally delicious and tasty were crushed into pieces by the soldiers and were no longer edible.
Fortunately, Yuzhu had prepared in advance, two handfuls of noodles, a handful of green vegetables, and two packets of prepared seasonings. Because it was a cold day, the lard in the seasoning packets had not melted at all, so it was just right.
After drafting countless times, Yuzhu began to answer questions on the draft paper.
With a lot of time, Yuzhu's energy was mainly focused on copying. He wrote word by word, making sure his handwriting was neat and neat, and he must not lose any impression points.
Tang Bing said that Zhang Bin, the current censor of Shuntian Prefecture, had a chronic headache and was not in good health. The further he got to the back, the less energy he had to read the test papers carefully.
After receiving the advice, Yuzhu naturally wanted to hand in the paper in advance to avoid capsizing in the gutter and causing huge losses.
Soon, Yuzhu had copied all three questions, checked his resume and taboos, and then took the initiative to hand in the paper.
At this time, only two hours had passed since the exam started.
In the college examination, it is necessary to copy the test paper with anonymity. After Yuzhu handed in the first paper, someone immediately concealed his name and handed it over to the hired copyist for copying.
According to regulations, after copying, it needs to be reviewed by a designated person to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
After checking, as soon as the procedures to prevent cheating were complete, Yuzhu's test paper was handed to Zhang Bin's desk.
Zhang Bin was shocked and subconsciously looked outside. Just when the genius was revealed, someone actually handed in the paper.
After reading the three test papers, Zhang Bin fell silent. The standardized answers were almost perfect, and it was really a rare article.
In this compartment, even if Yuzhu has handed in the papers, he cannot leave the dormitory. He must wait for the signal cannon to open the Gongyuan gate before he can go out.
After a good sleep, Yuzhu drank a bowl of noodles, ate the hot soup and hot water, hugged the small hand stove, and fell asleep again.
Finally, after it was completely dark, the signal cannon sounded. Yuzhu tidied up a little, then carried the examination basket and followed the crowd out of the Gongyuan.
