He is from the end of the world

After a few more days and nights, the time for the exam is approaching.

Lu Ciyu studied by himself for more than half a year, and was taught by Lu Guixi carefully. He is full of confidence in this exam.

It's not that he is arrogant and arrogant, but that this exam is just a child's exam, which is the least difficult exam in the imperial examination.

He worked hard for more than half a year. If he couldn't even pass such a low-level test, Lu Ciyu would really be able to kill himself with a knife and re-travel again.

Lu Ciyu is only sure about this one, and if he goes to the entrance exam, he may really be over.

For example, the poems and fus that will be tested later, this is not a sub-question, but a proposition.

When Chen Mingyan was welcomed back to the palace as the prince, he once presided over a scientific examination. At that time, Lu Guixi was by his side responsible for guarding his safety. He also had a little understanding of the examination process by his ears and eyes.

However, it is naturally impossible for Chen Mingyan to take care of the Tongsheng test. Although the grades of the two competitions are quite different, they are still the same. The mode of the test remains the same. He provided Lu Ciyu with a lot of valuable experience and suggestions.

For example, the children's exams in this world will be held for three days and two nights, during which candidates are not allowed to enter and leave, and all activities can only be carried out in the exam room.

For example, you must bring your own food into the examination room. If you don’t want to bring your own food, some food will be provided in the examination room out of humanitarianism, but the taste is more touching.

Before the exam, Lin Yang also came to visit.He was originally going to take part in this year's children's exam, but he didn't expect that before the exam, he was suppressed by the master of the school for another year, saying that he still needed to settle down, so Lin Yang could only come to bless his brother-in-law.

As for why Lin Yang had already signed up to be a guarantor and filed a record with the government, but was suddenly suppressed for a year... This is his own story of grievances.

Lu Ciyu probably asked a few words, but Lin Yang was unwilling to say it.Lu Ciyu was indifferent by nature, it was good enough for Lin Chi to ask him these few words for the sake of Lin Chi's face, since the other party didn't want to trouble him, he was naturally happy to calm down.

Lu Ciyu lived nearby, so it was a little late when he went out, and when he arrived at the examination room, most of the people had already entered.

The imperial court attaches great importance to the examination room, and the examination place is in the government office.There is a large area of ​​connected rooms in the government office, which are kept empty in the courtyard on weekdays, and are only used during scientific research.

Lu Ciyu stood silently in front of the examination room for a while, then turned around and held Lin Chi's hand: "Don't wait here, go back to your residence after I enter, I will be out in three days."

He was really afraid that Lin Chi would just stand here for three days.

Lin Chi held his hand tightly, with reluctance all over his face.

This is the first time the two of them have been separated for such a "long" time since they got married, let alone three days, it has never happened that the two of them stayed apart for three hours each.

Lu Ciyu stretched out his index finger and tapped his forehead: "Be obedient."

He winked at Xunquan who was behind Lin Chi, and Xunquan nodded to show that he understood.

——Xunquan must bring the master back.

Lu Ciyu himself actually didn't want to be separated from Lin Chi, so he was extremely troubled at such a time - why can't his own space be filled with people?

Lu Ciyu didn't ask for spiritual springs to double the planting speed, he just wanted the space to accommodate living things.In this way, he can put Lin Chi in the space, hide him in this world that only he knows, and keep him with him all the time.

He babbled a few more words, obviously he was only away for three days, but it seemed like he was going away for three years.

It wasn't until the warning drum sounded in front of the examination room that Lu Ciyu reluctantly let go, took out the name card and entered the examination room.

He went forward with the huge package prepared by Lin Chi, and the guard took it over and confirmed Lu Ciyu's identity seriously.The package was also handed over to the people around him who checked it carefully, and someone else stepped forward to check it on him.The cautious and careful movements are comparable to the guards of the little emperor outside the county before the Lantern Festival.

Lu Ciyu resisted the urge to chop off the hand that was groping around him, and told himself desperately that this is a must for the exam, so he had to hold back, but he couldn't help but say in his heart that if I really cheated, I put the note in the space and you Even if he becomes Nezha and grows three heads and six arms, he still can't be found.

The two guards looked through it thoroughly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, they let him pass. Lu Ciyu walked forward with his luggage in his arms, and couldn't help but turn around and waved to Lin Chi. Mouth-go back.

Lin Chi didn't look away until he turned a corner and couldn't see anything. He stared at the ground for a while, then whispered to Xunquan, "Let's go back."

See you again in three days.

The candidate's position was arranged in advance, and Lu Ciyu was allocated a position against the wall. The wall was icy and cold, and there was still a cool breeze blowing outside.Lu Ciyu's body temperature was already lower than that of ordinary people, and after sitting for a while, his hands and feet began to feel cold.

He glanced around, the room was not that big, it only looked like dozens of tables.He should be the latest one to come to the examination room, and the rest of the tables are all occupied.

Speaking of which, the number of examination rooms that Lu Ciyu saw along the way was not many.When he checked the information, he learned that the passing rate of ancient scientific examinations was terribly low. Now it seems that he was actually wrong.

He first estimated a ratio according to the ratio of the dynasty, such as how many people can provide a scholar, and then divided the number of people who passed by this number to get the result.

Looking at it now, he still wants to be cumbersome. There are far fewer scholars in this dynasty than he estimated.

The denominator becomes smaller, and the result becomes larger. In fact, the pass rate of this dynasty is not as low as he imagined.

Every table is neatly placed with pens, inks, papers and inkstones provided by the government. Lu Ciyu moistened the pens, laid out the paper and grinded the ink, and then waited for the examiner to issue the papers. After waiting for half a day, Lu Ciyu simply Leaning on his chin, he stared blankly.

If this is modern, he will be able to draw on the test paper.

If you paint here... you should be taken out and stamped with a top [-] board.

Lu Ciyu was so bored that he just lay down on the table and thought about Lin Chi.

He waited for a while, thinking about Lin Chi's appearance on the bed several times, and then the invigilator arrived slowly.

The examiners first published a long speech, and Lu Ciyu listened to a few sentences and summed it up. It was probably "it's shameful to cheat in the integrity test" and "but there's nothing to fight again next year". paper.

The exam is divided into three days. The first day is similar to the rote knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, but the bibliography of the Four Books and Five Classics is somewhat different from that of my dynasty, and there are more local elements of this dynasty.

This kind of rote memorization is the easiest for all the candidates, but it is the most difficult subject for Lu Ciyu.

It may be that people are getting old and old, and when they have nothing to do, they like to lie on a rocking chair and fan them in the sun with a cattail fan. Their memory has also declined a lot, and it is extremely difficult to carry things on their backs.

What's more, what Lu Ciyu studied is reason, and if you ask a man who studies reason to memorize Zi Zi and Zi Zi, it's also the Spring and Autumn Book of Changes...

Wasn't he the one who lived in the world for 20 years...

It really cost him his life.

Lu Ciyu sighed and hung his wrist to write, and began to search for all the classical Chinese in his mind.

The plan for the second day's exam, this thing made it hard for countless candidates, but when they arrived at Lu Ciyu's place, they felt like a fish in water.

A plate of red-painted abacus beads was crackled by him, and there were still a few equations on the paper that he had calculated in his head. This level of difficulty was like a primary school student in front of Mr. Lu who passed the advanced mathematics class with high scores. question.

The third day was even simpler, case analysis, ah no, policy theory.

Let me give you a case. For example, a certain place xxx has a flood, and xxx is known. If you are an official of this place, how should you deal with it?

Lu Ciyu pondered for a moment, then answered with a pen.

In terms of politics/politics, economy, and humanities, the analysis was cut from multiple angles, and I wrote a full seven pages eloquently.

This kind of question is the one he practiced the most, and it is also the one that Lu Guixi told him the most.

Lu Ciyu had to say, based on what Lu Guixi explained to him... If Lu Ciyu wanted to keep going up the exam, let alone other things, he would definitely do very well in the palace exam.

Lu Guixi really understood His Majesty's thoughts too well.

Lu Ciyu could find traces of the few questions he raised casually in some laws and regulations promulgated by the court.

In fact, Lu Guixi himself just said that inadvertently, but Lu Ciyu could find that Chen Mingyan's regulations more or less carried that kind of meaning.

Some of his statutes seem to be unrelated, but in fact they echo each other.It seems that they are only serving the people and the country, but they are actually boiling frogs in warm water.

The things Chen Mingyan promulgated are like seemingly unrelated spider threads, but the spider threads live in flying insects, while Chen Mingyan lives in this country.

The common people, officials and nobles are gradually adapting to the convenience brought by the regulations, and they are gradually getting used to the improved life. Whenever Lu Ciyu sees a happy and peaceful scene in the world, he will look forward to Chen Mingyan tightening the net Moment.

At that time, the whole world will be completely and truly in Chen Mingyan's hands.

To some extent, he and Chen Mingyan are the same kind of people.

Although they only heard each other's name, they have been paying attention to each other for a long time.

Cough, Lu Ciyu came back to his senses.This is still in the exam, he seems to be thinking too much.

He stared at the finished paper and checked it, hesitated for a while, and then edited a new copy.

There were only three pages left in the newly copied paper. It wasn't that he condensed the seven pages to three pages, but that he deliberately threw away a lot of useful content.

Just answer enough to ensure that he is admitted as a scholar, there is no need to do so brilliantly.

It is a bad thing for Lu Ciyu to really write something worthy of debate. He only expects to be a scholar. Some people wonder.But if he gets enough grades to pass the entrance examination but retreats to the countryside and shrinks back...it will be troublesome.

Every move is troublesome, and there are so many troubles before entering the officialdom. If you really want to get involved in this muddy water... Lu Ciyu can imagine how he was full of gray hair when he was young.

It was not until the examiner collected the papers and announced that the exam was over that Lu Ciyu left the gate of the exam room.

The examination room is completely closed, with only one door for people to enter and exit, not even a window.

Candles were always burning to illuminate the room, and there were dozens of people nestled in such a large room. The air circulation was extremely poor, and even the door was not allowed to let the wind out. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive and dull.

Lu Ciyu went out to bathe in the sun, just took a deep breath of fresh air and let out a long sigh, when he came back to his senses, he saw his little daughter-in-law running towards him.

Seeing that Lin Chi was about to fall into his arms, Mr. Lu hurriedly took a step back to open the distance between them.

Lin Chi was taken aback by his actions, and thought something had happened, so Lu Ciyu said, "I haven't showered in three days."

The joy and sorrow of reunion were all suppressed by his words, Lin Chi sighed deeply: "... Let's go home."
