Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 282 The exam is long, and I finally passed it

  Swallows don’t return. It’s late in the spring, and the misty rain and apricot blossoms are cold.

  In February, the capital city ushered in spring unknowingly. The chirping swallows happily flew into the Gongyuan of the capital, and followed the invigilators in small groups to patrol the examination room. An unknown flower in the examination room bloomed at some unknown time, swaying in the sun, trying to stretch its body.

  Today is the last day of the test. Before the day was bright, Zhu Ping'an had already got up, washed, put on the mask again, and then roasted some dried meat and dried fruit on the brazier, filling his stomach with difficulty. It has been eight days and seven nights. Except for the stewed pork porridge and noodles on the first day, every other meal has such a delicious meal. For Zhu Pingan, who is a foodie, this is almost unbearable torment.

  In addition, these days, I haven't washed my hair, let alone bathed. Others are fine, but I am in a stinking account, this is almost a catastrophe! After such a long time, I seemed to be soaked in the smell of the neighbors, and the two sets of clothes I brought were almost completely wiped out. The body is also exhausted, much more tired than the original rural examination.

   Fortunately, today is the ninth day, the last day of the exam.

  Smelly, bear with you for half a day today! I've endured you for so long, and it's not too late.

  Zhu Ping’an tidied up, then tidied up the dormitory, placed the wooden boards across the walls of the dormitory again, arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, laid out the test papers and drafts, and continued to the end of the exam that he had not completed yesterday.

  Yesterday around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Ping'an had already finished writing all the questions for the third round on the draft paper, and by evening had copied the answers to the two questions on the draft paper on the answer sheet. In other words, as long as the remaining three scriptures and historical policies are copied step by step on the answer sheet today, this exam will be successfully completed.

  Close your eyes and rest your mind. When your body and mind are in the best state, Zhu Pingan takes a brush and dips it in ink, and concentrates on copying the answers to the last three scriptures and policy questions on the draft on the answer sheet.

   While Zhu Pingan was seriously copying, some candidates had already written the test papers. I packed up my things, put away the written test papers, and finally recollected the place where I struggled carefully.

   There are regulations in the general examination. After handing in the papers, you must wait until the last day before you can go out. When going out, hand in the papers in three batches, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. Therefore, these students who handed in their papers in advance can only wait until the first batch is released before noon.

  When Zhu Ping'an finished copying the second question. He heard footsteps outside the dormitory, and noisy voices from nearby. Looking up, he saw a lot of invigilating soldiers walking back and forth outside the dormitory, and there were more scribes coming and going.

When he was in doubt, he heard several clear and clear sounds of hitting the cloud board, and then a clerk shouted loudly outside the hall: "It's time for the first batch of cards to be released. Candidates who have finished their papers and have to hand in their papers can raise their hands." Hand in the test paper, and the token will appear after the sign is issued."

  The first batch of examinees who handed in their papers heard this. They couldn't wait to hand in the papers one after another, received the cards, and were led out by the invigilators. The nine days and seven nights of the examination had worn down almost every candidate. Every candidate who appeared had experienced an extremely fierce and fierce battle, and couldn't help but want to go home and recuperate for a long time.

  Zhu Ping'an had to wait for the second batch of papers to be handed in because there was still one question that had not been transcribed.

  With plenty of time, Zhu Ping'an copied the last question fairly and fairly, and the font was almost at the best level, with exquisite pen and ink. Power through the paper back.

  When the clerk reminded the second batch of papers to be handed in, Zhu Ping'an also raised his hand to signal handing in the papers. A test examiner came to collect the test paper, checked Zhu Ping'an's test paper, and then began to seal it. Fold and cover Zhu Pingan's resume (name, age, appearance, place of origin, whether he has committed any crimes, examination conditions, names of his father, ancestor, and great-grandfather) at the beginning of the answer sheet, and stamp it with "Mi Feng Guan Guan Fang". ", then put it away, and the supervisor will stamp the red seal with the same red letter number as the Zhujuan.

   This is also one of the methods to prevent fraud in the imperial examination.

  After the examiner collected the papers, he handed Zhu Pingan a release card. Zhu Ping'an carried his packed bag and his test basket on his back. After saying hello to the invigilator soldier who had been with me for nine days outside, he followed the lead soldier and strode out of the arena.

  Rain and snow,

  See Xun and say disappear.

  The farther away from his stinky horn, the more Zhu Pingan felt that the sun was so bright and the air was so fresh. It's been a long time, and I finally finished the exam. I'm not in a good mood.

  Zhu Ping'an felt so, but the examinees who were waiting to appear together didn't think so.

   You left the stink horn, you think the air is better, but have you ever thought about us!

  The examinees nearby were carrying exam baskets and carrying bags, all of them kept away from Zhu Ping'an by coincidence. Although they don't know each other, the smell from Zhu Ping'an's body still makes all the candidates look at each other differently.

  Some examinees saw Zhu Pingan coming out of the stinking hall, and whispered to the people around them, so they even ran away.

  Uh, this guy is a bad luck guy with a stinking name, we have to stay away from him, so as not to spread the bad luck to ourselves. You know, since the beginning of history, none of the candidates in the stinking exams has ever achieved a good result, and more than 90% of them have failed the exam. It has been hundreds of years, and there has never been an exception. This is the worst bad luck in the famous examination room! We have to stay as far away from this person as possible, so as not to be infected by bad luck, and I will do well in the exam this time.

  So, the people around looked at Zhu Ping'an with disdain, and hid away.

   Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye to the disdain of the people around him, slightly hooked his lips and waited for his release. Who said that a stinking number can't jump the dragon's gate!

  Finally, the gate opened, and Zhu Pingan, the second batch of submitters, also came out one after another, and Zhu Pingan followed everyone out of the Gongyuan.

At this time, there was a huge crowd of people outside the gate, and there were many examinees and waiting family members. Some of the candidates who handed in the first batch of papers were waiting outside for their friends who took the exam together, and there were also candidates whose family members were waiting for the exam. Whispering about the same topic - will try. Or exchange answers, or ask how the exam is, or talk about the exam, it is very lively.

  This situation is almost the same as after the college entrance examination, but the clothes worn by people are different, which makes Zhu Pingan feel like returning to modern times.

  As soon as the others came out, someone came up to greet them, asking how they were doing in the exam.

  However, the family members who crowded at the door and waited for the examinees in gorgeous clothes, when they approached Zhu Ping'an, they all pinched their noses in unison, contemptuously, and hid far away.

   The examinees and their family members waiting outside, no one knew that Zhu Ping'an would be assigned to the stinking account, but they just thought that Zhu Ping'an had bad personal hygiene habits.

  Why is this person so tasteful! Could it have fallen into the toilet? Or maybe it's because the exam is nervous and defecates in the pants! Look at his hair, why is this man so sloppy, with a bad face, just looking at him, he can be sure that he won't be favored by Wenquxing, and he can tell at a glance that his exam is useless.

Oh, why is this person's hygiene habits so bad, not to mention failing in exams, even marrying a wife in the future will be a problem, don't look at it as a raise, and don't even think about marrying a well-matched lady, you can only live to marry a villager Wife or something!

   "Grandpa, we are here"

  When the people nearby looked at Zhu Pingan so contemptuously that they couldn't add anything, they heard a clear and soft voice.

  Then people were stunned to see a gorgeously dressed, very beautiful girl with buns running happily with her skirt in her hands. The target seemed to be the boy they despised so much that they couldn't add anything.
