The person who wears fast takes tea and cools

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June, and there was only more than a month before the provincial examination.

The ancient scientific examination is equivalent to the modern college entrance examination. If the modern college entrance examination is perverted, then the ancient human scientific examination is simply not even normal!

It was the first time for Yan Shisan to participate in the scientific examination, and it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but Yan Shisan would win Xie Yuan anyway and fulfill his wish for the original owner.

One month before the provincial examination, Xue Chenyin thoughtfully did not come to disturb Yan Shisan's study, but went home alone and patiently prepared for this year's academic examination.

How many books should be memorized in the scientific examination? When Yan Shisan found out the old book hidden by the original owner and his father in the cellar, he was a little confused.

His previous identities were those talented people who had read poetry and books and become famous for a long time. Once they read their memories, the knowledge needed will automatically emerge. Although the memory of the original owner is also like this, no matter how strong the memory is, it will take a while is.

Moreover, the original owner had fallen off a cliff once before, and when Yan Shisan looked through his memory, he found that the memory of knowledge was a bit blurred. Thinking about the past six months, the original owner went up the mountain to cut firewood and hiked to the town every day, so he didn't have much time to study hard. In addition, Yan Shisan came here to educate Xue Chenyin. After so long, it's normal that he can't remember those knowledge.

Yan Shisan knew that there were a lot of books to memorize and memorize in the scientific examination, but he didn't expect there to be so many!The books are stacked six feet high!

Books such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "The Doctrine of the Mean" have a total of more than 40 words, and all of them must be intensively read and memorized.In addition, candidates in ancient times had to read annotations that were several times the number of original texts, as well as other classic history books and literary books that must be read.

The cultural heritage of this world is not much different from the world that Yan Shisan lived in. From the memory of the original owner, the scientific research system of Fu Kingdom is not much different from that of the ancient world.

The scientific examination mainly consists of four subjects: Shu, Poetry, Theory, and Fu, namely Stereotyped Essay, Examination Poetry, Jinglun, and Rhythm Fu.

The titles of stereotyped essays are mainly extracted from the "Four Books": "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Mencius".The test post poem is a kind of poetry style. It takes a certain poem and idiom as the title, and lines a certain rhyme, and writes a poem with the content of praising the government.

That is to say, Yan Shisan himself has to memorize this stack of books that are a little taller than him in a month's world, and he must also memorize them by heart, and perfectly speak their meanings, which is vernacular translation.

Yan Shisan: "..." What should I do? He wants to commit suicide a little bit?No wonder it's an S-level world, few people can survive it.

The township examination is usually held in August, so it is also called Qiu Wei.

Yan Shisan could only rush to the neighboring county to take the township examination early, which meant that he didn't even have a month's time.What's more, he took the provincial examination in the second year after taking the provincial examination, instead of taking the general examination after three years of dormancy like the original owner's father, only to die on the way.

As for the examination questions of the provincial examination and the general examination, Yan Shisan was actually not very sure that he could win the bet.The subjects of the scientific examination may not change much, but the amount of questions is very large.According to the different subjects selected, you must complete the corresponding test papers before you can get the honor.On the surface, it looks simpler than the current college entrance examination papers. Without reading comprehension and reciting poems, it seems to be just writing essays, but in fact it is not that simple, more complicated, and it is a test for life.

Because of the large amount of exam questions and the long time, incidents of "examination death" candidates often occur: some students could not bear the torture, and committed suicide by drowning themselves or hanging themselves from the beam.

And this kind of thing has not changed in this world, but has intensified.

The pressure was too great, and it was a scorching hot day, so it was normal for my heart to burn, and my endurance was too weak to escape by death.

After Yan Shisan spent sleepless nights reading and reciting the annotations of these books, relying on the super memory of the original owner and the "copied stickers" bought from the system mall to write down all the contents, more than half a month has passed, and it is July.

In two days, it will be Qixi Festival.

Yan Shisan planned to reward himself, so he led Xue Chenyin to the town to visit the lantern festival and go to the temple to pray for marriage along with the young people in the village.Xue Chenyin was still very interested in these, so he followed his friends to play around.

And Yan Shisan followed the flow of people, pushing and shoving to stand in front of a stall selling masks.

"Young man, do you want to sell a mask to confess your love to someone you like?" The stall owner wore a strange mask and squinted his eyes to fool people.

Yan Shisan waved his hands and refused, "Thank you for the store's kindness. Xiaosheng doesn't have anyone he likes, so I'm afraid he won't be able to bear this mask."

The stall owner was not discouraged either, he grabbed Yan Shisan's clothes with a wave of his hand, and muttered: "It's okay if you don't have someone you like. Buy two masks, one to wear and the other to hold. Today is Qixi Festival, maybe it will be on the Wherever you meet a destined person, put another mask on them, follow the flow of people, if you can meet, it is a destiny! Buy one! Maybe you will meet! My stall is small, but It's really effective..."

The stall was still rambling, but Yan Shisan was not in the mood to listen. No matter how the stall touted it, it was not very likely to meet his destined person with a mask and a festival.Seeing that the stall strongly recommended them, he still paid for two of them.

It's quite expensive, a total of [-] Wen for two.

You must know that in the country of Fu, thirty coins can buy two catties of old rice, eight catties of pork and half a catty of cotton.

Yan Shisan casually put a white one on his face, and the other on his waist, and continued to follow the flow of people.

He wasn't curious, and it didn't make much difference whether he looked at it or not.In fact, this time I mainly brought Xue Chenyin to play. The future monarch may never have the chance to enjoy these human fireworks unscrupulously.

Behind and in front are the lights of thousands of families, the world is noisy, filled with red light and joy, this is the fireworks in the world, and it is also the simple joy of all living beings.

"Hey, young man, don't rush away! Do you want to guess the lantern riddle? If you guess the crossword puzzle inside the lantern, you can take away a lantern you like! There is also the Lantern King! Young man, do you want to guess?"

Looking at the street surrounded by lanterns, Yan Shisan roughly realized that he had arrived at Lantern Street.There were few entertainments in ancient times, and there were still many prizes for guessing lantern riddles during festivals.

Yan Shisan was fiddling with a red carp lantern, thought for a moment, raised his hand and randomly took out a note with a riddle from the row of lanterns with riddles on it, the stall owner took the note in Yan Shisan's hand, and shouted: Read it out: "Looking at the bright moon with Dangui on your body. Guess an idiom."

"..." Feeling inexplicably familiar, Yan Shisan: "Stay on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit."

After Yan Shisan answered correctly, the stall clicked a red dot on the note to indicate "pass", then handed it over to Yan Shisan, and went to the next person who guessed the crossword puzzle correctly.When he left, he gave Yan Shisan a simple and honest smile, and said "Congratulations" to him.

Yan Shisan smiled, and continued to guess the lantern riddles. Maybe it was luck. Yan Shisan found an anagram that no one had guessed before without looking for a few lanterns. He opened it and saw that the riddle was——

"Only in front of the building is the moon. Type one word."

"Shao." Yan Shisan read the answer, feeling quite boring, so he found another crossword puzzle and hurriedly found the stall owner to answer, took a lotus lantern he had won, lifted his feet and left.

However, he didn't realize that there was a person following him, neither forward nor backward, following each other across a distance.

With the flow of people, Yan Shisan was squeezed into a small pavilion with dim lights. For some reason, the small pavilion was very dark, and there were few people around, so it was quite leisurely.

"Is this brother also here to hide for a while?"

Yan Shisan looked outside the pavilion where the sound came from, and saw a man wearing a mask like him, with jade buttons and hair, and a crescent white brocade robe sitting on the stone platform outside the pavilion.

The moonlight sprinkled on his body, behind him was the shimmering moonlight, beside him were the noisy fireworks in the world, and above his head was a waning moon in the boundless darkness with loneliness.There seems to be people's laughter and laughter in my ears, as well as a few crickets and cicadas, suddenly waking up in this small piece of lonely world.What's more, the two are intertwined, the sound of shallow breathing and the sound of the heart beating slightly.

Under the moonlight in the gazebo, all the fireworks in the world are separated, but these two people stand in the sky and the earth, separated by a few meters, looking at each other from a distance.

"Yes." Yan Shisan had light in his eyes, and he smiled faintly at this man, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and like the brilliance of stars leaning against the moonlight.

Seeing Yan Shisan's smile, he lowered his eyes slightly, the person in front of him never knew his beauty.

Between the moonlight and the loneliness, his smile is the only stunning sight in this world.With unintentional charm and warmth in his bones, the two extremely contradictory temperaments are perfectly blended together, making the person in front of him the only one in the world.

Yan Shisan sat on the fence, admiring the moon and listening to the sound of the water together with this person, holding a lantern in his hand, with a sense of care, as if holding a treasure in the world.

"Do you want to put up lanterns to pray?" The man said softly, "Today's Qixi Festival, the prayer should be very effective."

Yan Shisan: "There is no fire, how do you light a lamp and pray?"

For some reason, Yan Shisan wanted to make things difficult for this person, the feeling of wanting to bully him as soon as he saw him was like an instinctive reaction engraved in his bones.

The man saw Yan Shisan's banter, but he was not annoyed, he waved at Yan Shisan, motioning Yan Shisan to come to him.Yan Shisan held the lantern, walked up to the man and sat down, seeing him stretch out his hand, he handed the lantern to the man.

The man took off the lotus lampshade, revealing the red candle inside. The man took out two small flints from his pocket, and hit the candle wick, and a string of bright and dazzling red sparks were fired, which jumped to the velvet. On the wick, light the candle.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the man waited for the flickering candle to stabilize, then put the lampshade back on the lamp stand, and handed it to Yan Shisan, "Make a wish."

This person's voice is as clear as a spring, like the mellowness of wine, making people intoxicated.

Yan Shisan took the lantern from him, and put it in the river at his feet, watching the lantern go with the water to the distance together with the man.

"Why don't you make a wish?" The lantern disappeared, so the man hesitated to speak.

"Is it useful?" Yan Shi asked him, but he replied: "There are tens of thousands of lanterns in the river, and they all have wishes and pray to God. God is not omnipotent, and it is impossible for everyone's wishes to come true. Instead of praying to God, it’s better to rely on yourself. What you hold in your hand is more important than God’s illusory things!"

"You can see clearly." The man looked at Yan Shisan admiringly, and said, "Gods are just liars of greed in people's hearts. They pray to Gods just to fulfill their wishes. But gods are just their imaginations. Yes, deceitful liar."
