"Don't worry, this little brat obviously came to you because of his father's scolding!" Xu Song said with a smile.
"Of course I won't be angry, but I still have to thank Brother Ninth for taking care of me this time!" Chen Hongyu looked sincere.
As the ninth brother, it can be clearly seen that he has some fears about himself, but he does not suppress himself or anything else because of this. Instead, he takes more care of himself on weekdays.
"With such a broad mind and high talent, this Ninth Brother will definitely be trained as the heir to the family.
But come to think of it, the senior members of the clan may have already trained him as the heir to the family."
After thinking for a while, Chen Hongyu brought his thoughts back, chatted with Xu Song for a few more words, and then began to concentrate on waiting.
At this time, perhaps due to the nature of his soul, he could feel a strange aura flowing above the examination room, solemn and majestic.
After a while, it was his turn. Two officers took him to a tent. They first peeled off his clothes one by one and inspected them, and then checked whether there were any traces on his body before putting him in.
.
After receiving his seat number, Chen Hongyu walked towards his seat in the examination room. At this moment, there was a noise in the distance.
"Bold, the county examination room was suppressed by the county magistrate's calligraphy, but he still dared to do anything casual."
Hearing the roar of the government officials, Chen Hongyu turned around and saw a disheveled student being beaten to the ground by several government officials and then dragged down.
"Okay, stop looking and go in!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from beside him. Chen Hongyu turned around and saw that it was an old official.
"This man is over thirty years old. Unfortunately, he is not very talented. He has been taking exams for more than ten years and has not been able to get a meritorious title."
As he spoke, he sighed: "Over the past ten years, I have kept him in mind, but I didn't expect that he would choose to take risks this time and take something with him."
"How can you be as talented and intelligent as you are? There's nothing a county exam can do to stop you."
Listening to the old guard's emotional words, Chen Hongyu shook his head and entered the examination room.
According to the number in his hand, Chen Hongyu quickly found his seat.
In the county test site, everyone has a shed with a brazier next to it for warmth.
A quarter of an hour later, after all the students entered the examination room, they heard a bell ringing outside, and a solemn voice read out the rules of the examination room.
After the rules were read out, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were handed out one by one.
County examinations and higher-level examinations generally have three questions.
Right now, the first question to be asked is the dictation of the chapters of the Four Books and Five Classics.
The Four Books and Five Classics are the most basic knowledge for a student. If you cannot even read these thoroughly, then you are not suitable for practice.
Although Chen Hongyu is weak in spirit, his level of knowledge in Confucianism and Taoism is not low, and he has already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by analogy.
These memorization questions were not difficult for him at all.
However, there are many passages to be tested in this first question, and the handwriting of each person will greatly affect the examiner's perception.
Therefore, he disguised his calligraphy level as a level that could slightly amaze the examiner and started answering the questions.
He has read tens of thousands of volumes and writes like a master. Although he has not really read tens of thousands of Confucian and Taoist books, it is not far behind.
By this time, I had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, so I started writing very quickly.
In just over an hour, I had already answered all the test questions, and there were not even any scraps.
The supervising government officials who watched on the side were astonished.
He has also participated in many county examination center supervision tasks over the years, but it is still rare for students to answer questions as quickly as Chen Hongyu.
Moreover, he also had some knowledge and knew that the young man in front of him was not writing nonsense, but actually answered the question.
"Uh!" Chen Hongyu stood up and stretched his body.
Although I answered the questions quickly, my body was still a little stiff after sitting for more than an hour.
After answering the test paper, Chen Hongyu sat down and started waiting.
According to the county examination regulations, you are not allowed to submit papers in advance or postpone them. You are not allowed to leave the examination room easily during the examination.
Several hours passed in a flash, and it was almost evening.
The officer reminded him: "Young master, the examination papers are about to be collected. Why don't you check them again?"
"No need!" Chen Hongyu shook his head and smiled.
Even if you need to hide your strength, this kind of exam will not be a problem for you.
Half an hour later, an examination center official finally came here, sealed his test paper, and took it away.
After a while, a servant came here carrying a food box.
When I opened the food box, a smell of meat came out.
Inside is a meat soup, a few flatbreads and a side dish.
Chen Hongyu finished the meal under the envious gaze of the guard and couldn't help but burp.
There are no mattresses in this tent, and there is a fire pit, so even though it is early spring, it is still okay.
This is because of the high-level management of the Xu family. Although cheating is impossible, the exam environment is much better than that of many students with ordinary backgrounds.
As dawn approached, Chen Hongyu suddenly felt urgent to urinate. He hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, only to find that the previous government servant was still there.
"Don't you need to rest? It's been a whole night."
"Where, sir, you have slept all night, and I have also slept. There have been two shifts here." The guard explained while asking: "Young master, are you going to get up now?"
"No!" Chen Hongyu said while dressing: "Relieve yourself!"
…
County examination examination room, toilet.
Chen Hongyu poured water while looking at the servant opposite without blinking.
"Master Cha, why don't you avoid it?"
Although the guard was a little embarrassed, he still insisted on observing.
"Historically, in county examinations, there have been no cases of people taking advantage of the toilet to engage in entrainment, but they were still caught. Later, after the rules were changed, similar situations have never happened again."
After leaving the toilet and returning to the single room in the examination room, there was already a faint light in the sky.
After resting for an hour and the sky was already bright, I drank a bowl of hot porridge and then started the second session of the county examination.
The second test of the county examination was an article selected from the "Spring and Autumn" in this field. It was considered a reading comprehension. It was not difficult for him, so he completed it quickly.
After having lunch and resting for an hour, it was finally time for the last exam.
This time, the test is about policy theory. As the lowest level test, the county test is naturally not too difficult, but it can also play a key screening role for candidates.
"This question requires careful consideration. The writing style needs to be more immature, and a novel but not too unconventional entry point should be chosen."
