Gu Chengyu endured the musty smell of the quilt and forced herself to fall asleep.
The candidate opposite lit a candle and began to write the third question with the weak candlelight. The second question took too long, so he decided to write more at night. Both questions only had a rough outline and needed to be polished.
He looked at the examinee opposite. It was a little kid who was already sleeping on the bed. He shook his head. It would be difficult for such a young examinee to stand out from the policy theory test! No wonder the examinee should
It’s time to eat, sleep, are you planning to give up?
He glanced to the side and saw that everyone was working hard with lights on. He looked away and moved the examination papers and candles closer. Although there were lanterns above the examination booth, his vision was still a little blurry.
Gu Chengyu finally fell asleep counting sheep. He didn't know how long he had slept when he was suddenly woken up by an exclamation from the side!
"Fire! Fire!" Then, a burst of noise sounded.
Gu Chengyu immediately jumped up from the bed. He first glanced at the examination room opposite, and saw that the examinee opposite was holding a test paper in his hand, which was already on fire. The man patted the flames with his sleeves, but the flames did not stop.
Yes, after slapping it twice, the fire on the test paper was extinguished.
However, the examinee began to wail. Gu Chengyu looked at the test paper he was carrying and saw that half of it had been burned. The man began to cry loudly. This sound had already alerted the guards, who had already walked over.
"What are you shouting about? No noise is allowed in the examination room!" one of the guards shouted loudly.
Then the two men lifted the examinee up and dragged him out. Although Gu Chengyu felt sorry for the examinee, he was also relieved. If a fire broke out in the examination room, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this time, the door of the Gongyuan is completely closed. Both the examiner and the candidates have to stay in the Gongyuan. The outside is locked. The lock outside the door will only be opened when it is time to hand in the papers tomorrow.
Several candidates in a row withdrew their heads and lit candles at night. Naturally, they had to be extremely careful. Everyone shook their heads, not knowing whether they were sighing that the candidate was unlucky or feeling that the candidate was too careless!
Gu Chengyu looked at the opposite side and saw that the candle had burned to the end. It seemed that the test paper was very close to the candle just now, and there was some wind tonight, so maybe it burned like this.
Now that he was awake, he had no intention of going back to sleep. He glanced at the small clock in the space and found that it was already half past four in the morning. Gu Chengyu dipped the handkerchief in water and wiped his face. He couldn't brush his teeth here, so he had to first
Bear it. Then, I patted my cheek to wake myself up.
Lay out the draft paper and prepare to revise yesterday’s last policy paper!
By the time the guard served breakfast, Gu Chengyu had already opened the test paper and started copying!
When Magistrate Chiang came over early in the morning, he heard that a candidate fell asleep while writing the exam paper at night, and the exam paper caught fire. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Since ancient times, Gongyuan has been on fire. It is not that there has been a fire in Gongyuan.
Are they going to be engulfed in the fire together? It seems that two more officers will be patrolling at night.
The door will be unlocked at noon today, so candidates who want to hand in their papers will have to wait until noon. Since there is enough time, Gu Chengyu writes a little slower.
Magistrate Jiang walked around, looking at the test papers of the candidates on both sides. He glanced at them roughly. Some of them who wrote quickly were already writing the third question, while others who wrote slowly had only written half of the second question.
He paused and walked towards Gu Chengyu. He glanced at it and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Chengyu could do it so quickly and was already copying the answers. Looking at Gu Chengyu's serious face, he remembered what happened to the bandits. Maybe
There is hope for his promotion next year.
This group of bandits gave the prefect of Fengding Prefecture a headache. This time he sent people to Fengding Prefecture quickly, preparing to cooperate with the prefect of Fengding Prefecture to capture the remaining bandits in one fell swoop. This was his political achievement.
Thinking of this, he was in a very good mood, stroked his beard, and walked towards other examination booths with square steps.
As soon as the hour came, Gu Chengyu rang the little bell. He had already written it, and he couldn't look around while staying in the examination room, and he didn't want to sleep anymore. When the hour finally arrived, he wanted to go back to the inn early and have a good rest.
Fan! Besides, Paralyzed Yu must have come back.
Gu Chengyu left the Gongyuan and did not wait outside the door. Instead, he went directly back to the inn and sent Ming Mo to wait outside the Gongyuan.
When they returned to the inn, Yu Pangzi had already returned and reported to Gu Chengyu that the Yipinzhai in Fucheng had been fully decorated, with only two cooks missing. When they arrived, Gu Chengyu would teach them how to make some pastries.
After all, this is Fucheng, and it is not enough to have a small variety of pastries. There are many wealthy families here. Gu Chengyu planned to make cakes. A few days ago, he had already ordered Ming Mo to customize an oven, hoping that the oven he made would not be too different from his previous life.
With an oven, you can even make other pastries and snacks. I believe this is the first one in Fucheng.
Then he thought of something, "Wanqian! Brother Hua, please pay more attention these two days. If there is anything unusual, come back and tell me."
Gu Chengyu thought about it, but still felt worried about Gu Wanhua. Gu Wanhua had an unstable temper and was easily tempted. He planned to send Gu Wanhua back after the exam was over. He had to stay in Fucheng for one day, and he needed to wait for an opening at Yipinzhai.
, he can leave.
"Hey!" Although Gu Wanqian was a little confused, he now knew not to ask too many questions, but to do what Gu Chengyu told him seriously.
A few copper lamps illuminated the room brightly. Magistrate Jiang rubbed his forehead and felt his eyes were a little dry. He picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and took a short rest. Every government examination is the busiest time, although these
He did not mark the examination papers alone. The examination papers were divided among hundreds of people, so one person could get a lot of examination papers.
He felt a little tired. Looking at it so far, he didn't see an eye-catching policy argument. Some of it was just nonsense. He only focused on writing some gorgeous rhetoric without any practical strategy at all. Such an article could be called
Is it policy theory?
After a while, he opened his eyes and continued to read the next exam paper. After reading the first one, he became furious.
"What is this written about? Are you increasing the agricultural tax every year? Even if such a person becomes an official, he will only exploit the people. Huh! You simply don't know what to say!"
He also knows that it is not easy to write down practical strategies for the test questions this time. After all, the test questions have been asked in the past, but as long as they are written in a satisfactory manner and two points are written, they can be passed. He did not expect that there is such a thing, which aggravates the common people
Aren't we going to force the people to live in dire straits?
He didn't even read the second part, so he threw the test paper into the pile of "passables". He couldn't pass only the first question, so he didn't read the rest!
These candidates just sit at home and read books from saints and sages every day, and do not do anything in the mulberry fields. They may not even be able to distinguish seedlings from weeds, so how can they expect to get good suggestions? Alas!
