Imperial Exam Daily

This time, Yang Ye searched before entering the examination room. It was obviously more strict than in the small county town before. The neatly stacked baskets were turned into a mess, and the examinees were asked to take off their clothes for inspection. A group of examinees were naked. His shoulders shivered in the cool night breeze.

After a lot of tossing, Yang Ye finally entered the number room.

After entering the door, Xun Kao, who followed behind, immediately locked the door, and would not let anyone out until the exam was over.

The number room was very narrow, with only one oil lamp and two boards for answering papers and sleeping. Yang Ye's figure was quite difficult to use in the number room, so he had to comfort himself that he was here for the exam, not staying in a hotel for enjoyment.

After a while, the test papers came out, and there was a stack of them, including test papers, answer sheets, and draft paper.

Yang Ye couldn't wait to look at the first test questions. What he was investigating was still the basic things, the contents of the books he usually read. Two of the four books were selected for the test, and there was also a poem that remained unchanged, as well as the meaning of the scriptures. question.

It is similar to the examination questions of the college entrance examination. Of course, the content of the examination questions is still the same, but the degree of investigation is much deeper. It is no longer as simple as giving the first half of the poem and the candidate fills in the second half of the sentence. Write your own opinions, and these exam questions have word count requirements, not a few sentences can be perfunctory.

Yang Ye, taking advantage of his good energy now, lit the oil lamp, sat cross-legged on the wooden boards up and down after studying the ink, and began to answer the questions. It was depressing to be closed in the small room, and after a long time, he felt even more depressed. It must be greatly discounted, which will greatly affect the answer.

He avoids rote memorization when studying, and he doesn't like to memorize these basic contents like a student in a school. Every time the master checks the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, he can always pass the test cunningly, but it is a pity He passed the test of the master but could not pass the test of the wife. A Xi supervised him to learn to be unselfish, and he would recite the contents of the book at will if he was more relaxed in the day, and he would write the contents silently if it was more strict.

How could he treat his wife so well, how could he treat his wife like this, not to mention that he would not be allowed to sleep together if he made a mistake, and he would be honest after lying on the wooden bed in the study twice. Heart.

He did the first exam without rest. The sky outside changed from dim to bright, and then the sun was softly baking the Gongyuan, and it was dusk. Apart from eating, drinking and moving his body, he insisted on writing. Never put down the pen.

As if something was chasing after him, at night, the questions were almost answered, only some words were still ambiguous. He planned to relax his mind and read it when he woke up tomorrow.

He tidied up the papers, put them in a basket, and put them away from the window. This is what Axi told him, so that when the wind blows up at night, the papers will be blown away.

The invigilators also patrol around with lanterns at night. They only care about whether there is cheating, and they don’t ask about the rest. They don’t care when the candidates want to sleep or go to the toilet.

Yang Ye put the two wooden boards together, and put the thick clothes in the burden on the wooden boards. Falling asleep like this was much more comfortable than sleeping on the wooden boards.

After all, it was his Axi who was virtuous and considerate in every way, insisting on bringing two thick clothes with him in the August weather to prevent the cold.

But it was still the first day, he looked at the empty roof with his arms on his pillow, and his heart was also empty. No matter how narrow the bed was, it was too wide for only one person to sleep in. He was used to sleeping with one in his arms. , suddenly became a person sleeping, how can you feel not empty?

He began to miss the limp Axi.

If he thinks about it, he will worry, and the more he thinks about it, the more he can't fall asleep. He tossed and turned on the wooden bed and couldn't fall asleep. He felt that the room was very stuffy. He endured it for a long time, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. Yes, it's still cold in the back.

Suddenly, his face felt cold, and he trembled in his sleep. When he woke up, he heard the whistling wind outside, and scattered and sparse raindrops were falling. He raised his head, and the water that leaked into the house again hit him firmly. He wiped his face, and hurriedly got up to light the oil lamp.

The house had already leaked a lot of rainwater. He held up the lamp and looked at the roof. The Gongyuan was in disrepair for a long time. Some tiles were broken early, and there were several big cracks. The rainwater flowed into the house, even the place where he put the papers. Not spared.

He screamed desperately, and hurried to lift the basket to a dry place, and opened the lid of the basket, but fortunately he had covered it with a layer of cloth, and the basket lid kept the rain out, otherwise the paper would be gone.

Before he had time to rejoice, a gust of wind came in, and the oil lamp was blown out at once. He went to light the oil lamp again, trying to close the window, but the window was already loose, and it fell down when he touched it. , I had no choice but to simply take the window panel in and block it across the window, so that even though the oil lamp was protected, the wind still had to blow in.

Yang Ye worked hard, and after putting the papers in a safe place, he moved the wooden bed to a place where there was no water leakage. It rained all night, and except for a few hours of light sleep, he was wrapped in thick clothes and barely slept overnight. sleep.

The rain stopped on the second morning, and Yang Ye's number room was similar to that of Shuilian Cave. He opened the bed board and saw that the candidates in the number room opposite were not much better. The rain was difficult, and those who saw the invigilator complained, instead of being taken care of, they were reprimanded and almost kicked out to cancel the exam.

At noon, when the sun came out, Yang Ye saw someone drying papers.

The rain last night, I'm afraid it caused a lot of trouble for candidates with poor room conditions.

Yang Ye sighed, fortunately he had almost answered the questions yesterday, otherwise in such an environment, he wouldn't have the mind to do the questions.The meals provided by the Gong Yuan were also poor, just like the brown rice he ate when he was poor, and there was no oil in the dishes. It's hard to swallow.

He took a few mouthfuls and then put down the bowl and chopsticks. He didn't dare to drink too much water. If he drank too much, he had to go to the toilet. He ate, drank and lazed in the number room. In such a narrow place, put a chamber pot. If he went to the toilet too much Twice, I can imagine how unbearable the smell is, and don't expect someone to help it. This dirty and tiring work, the examiner doesn't dislike the smell. Someone will come in and clean it up.

After the first exam is over, the [-]th will be the second exam. This exam is about the Five Classics and writing argumentative essays. The difficulty of the questions begins to increase. Literary literacy depends on it. It can be regarded as some exam questions that are too much between the basic content of the first session and the current affairs and politics of the third session.

Fortunately, nothing happened in these three days, and Yang Ye successfully completed the exam.

By the time the third exam began on the [-]th, some candidates had already been carried out.

The reason is that Yang Ye's psychological quality is good. He was locked in the numbered room for a full six days. He couldn't eat well and sleep well, and his energy was not as good as before. His body smelled uncomfortable because he hadn't washed for a few days.

This exam is the most difficult, not only in the questions, but also in the mentality and psychological quality.

He tried not to think too much, and focused on the exam questions.

Looking at the exam questions, he thought that there must be many candidates who were about to cry. He heard that the third exam questions in previous years were all combined with Confucianism and theory to express their opinions on government affairs. , Discuss these current affairs and government affairs.

Of course, this year also took the test, but the proportion has dropped a bit, but the proportion of mathematics has increased. It is estimated that the people in the imperial court finally discovered that the scholars' mathematics ability is not high, and they are often criticized by the people. This year, the proportion of mathematics examination questions is increased. , so that all schools pay attention to it, and greatly improve the arithmetic ability of the scholars in this dynasty.

In addition, there are some very complicated topics, such as astronomy and geography. These things are rarely tested in previous years. The masters in general schools hardly teach them. No accidents, it will involve a large number of people's blind spots in knowledge.

Furthermore, current affairs and politics are also tested this time around the issue of frontier defense, which has a very low occurrence rate. The Daji Dynasty has been in a peaceful and prosperous age for many years, and things about border wars rarely appear on the exam papers. This year, it suddenly appeared. The trend is turbulent, or the examiners who set the questions have changed this year, deliberately wanting to clean up the candidates.

This year's exam questions are really tricky!

No matter what, Yang Ye just wanted to finish answering the questions quickly, and then leave this broken place like a prison cell.

He first wrote and did his best math, to give himself a sense of accomplishment, then he did current affairs and government affairs, and finally he did those astronomy and geography that investigated knowledge.

It is not only Yang Ye who is suffering these days, but Axi in the inn is also suffering.

He listened to Yang Ye's words, and tried not to go out in the inn as much as possible. The three meals a day were almost brought into the room by the mistress. The mistress took Yang Ye's money and cared very much about food, and took care of him very well. , Seeing the beautiful little brother frowning every day, he would say a few words of enlightenment.

Two days after Yang Ye left, Ah Xi could barely sleep. She was worried that Yang Ye would catch cold when it rained, and worried that Yang Ye would be sunburned in the sun. After a long time, she got used to it.

After he made a set of clothes for the two children in the family, he secretly sewed two small clothes. In time, he and Yang Ye would also have children. This was his only comfort in the past few days.

After suffering for several days in a row, he counted the time with his fingers. Finally, on the eighth day, he went out. He wanted to buy something and tidy himself up. Yang Ye was leaving the examination room tomorrow. According to the agreement, he was going to wait for him.

Thinking of meeting his husband whom he hadn't seen for a few days, he finally had a smile on his face.
