Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers

【Ding!Congratulations to the group leader for triggering the regular task and getting the Little Trinity in the Children's Examination! 】

It really is this, Su Yan sighed silently in his heart.

Su Shi: Finally, the day has come!

Su Shi: Looking forward to rubbing hands.jpg

Su Yan: Why do I feel a sense of crisis like sharpening a knife and rushing towards pigs and sheep? !

Li Bai: Brother Yan is sure to be fine!What we have taught for so many years is not empty!

Du Fu: Don't be afraid, just calm down!Thinking back to the time when the old man failed many times, and learned from the system that he still became the poet sage of later generations, it was also a trick of good fortune!

Mr. Du Fu, are you sure this is consolation? ? ?

Cao Zhi: Immediate Success.jpg

Cao Zhi: Brother Yan, we have all received notifications from the system that we will be banned from speaking during your exam, and we can only watch your exam quietly.You know in your heart that we are always here.

Su Yan: Mmm, I will work hard!

I didn't expect the system to be quite fair. Although it is a bit strange to say that a golden finger is fair, but if you don't hold back, several big bosses can take the exam online.

At this time, Su Yan was already a 13-year-old boy, with a slender figure and an exquisite face. His milky white skin was like fine suet jade, his black hair was as soft and smooth as silk, and his big almond eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see Go to the bottom of people's hearts.

Sometimes when he was walking in the village with his little brother, he would meet some red-faced little girls, sneak a glance at them, cover their mouths and laugh and run away.

According to Ji Shi, some people secretly came to ask if Su Yan and Zhou Yunwen were engaged.

Engagement is impossible, and he doesn't want to deceive a good girl for the rest of her life.Su Yan thought about using the imperial examination as an excuse to hide in Jiaguan first, and then find a reason to come out to his parents.As for the reason, anyway, there are still seven years, which is enough to plan various plans.

Not long after Su Yan entered the study, he heard his father sternly say: "Now you have achieved something in your studies, and you have done a good job in classics and current affairs. I will go to the exam this year, and you will be able to get a scholar. After the results of the college examination are released, I will write you a recommendation letter and send it to Yunshan Academy, and then you can go to Yunshan Academy with your two older brothers to study."

Su Yue looked at his youngest son's beautiful face which was very similar to his wife Liu's, and thought of Su Yan's eccentricity these years, and his laughter and laughter at home, he was a little bit reluctant and a little proud for a while.

He gently stroked his youngest son's head with his big hand. Su Yan seemed to feel something, and looked up at his father's serious face.

Su Yue hurriedly withdrew his hands and put them behind him as if nothing had happened, coughed and continued: "From tomorrow, you and Yunwen will take the mock exam together."

I have to say that in the cold weather, after such a round of round model exams, Su Yan's cheeks have lost a lot of weight. His mother, Liu Shi, looked very distressed, and asked Chef Feng to make more of Su Yan's favorite food every day. Make up for him.

The mock test is indeed effective. Su Yan was not clear about the process of the county test at the beginning, and was a little flustered during the first mock test.After getting familiar with it, you will be able to calm down and take your time.He even recalled that his elder brother Su Yu was taking mock exams in this dilapidated exam shed, and he couldn't help showing a nostalgic smile on his face.

Since the junior brother Zhou Yunwen is the son of the magistrate of Zhou County, in order to avoid suspicion, he needs to go to Chongshan County, the first county of Fujian Province, to take the county examination. The junior brother set off for Chongshan County half a month ago.

Su Yan signed up early at the Changxi County Lifang, filled out the registration form, and registered in detail information such as birthplace, name, age, history of three generations, height and appearance.In order to prevent cheating and other behaviors in the David Chao scientific examination, the five people who took the exam together required each other to certify, and the county grannies (excellent students in the county school) were also required to issue a bond to ensure that the children who took the exam were free from wealth and impostors. Replace and wait for disadvantages.

The housekeeper, Uncle Zhou, also searched early and found Chen Xiucai, who had a good reputation in the county. There happened to be four examinees in Chen Xiucai's private school who were about to leave this year. These four were also happy to make friends with Su Yan. They found another Chen Xiucai's classmate, Xu Xiucai, was their guarantor.Xu Xiucai is a student with profound qualifications, he is upright, virtuous and upright, and the teachers of the county school are more optimistic that he can go further in the examination of Juren.

The county test is divided into three sessions, one session per day.The examination room was in the county government office, and a large examination shed was temporarily set up, and the chief examiner was the magistrate of the county.

At the beginning of February, the spring is cold and the wind is biting.

At Yin time, the sky was not yet bright, and the gloomy and dark sky seemed extremely oppressive.

Candidates have already gathered near the county government office, ready to line up for admission.

Su Yan carried the examination basket, which contained the best four treasures of the study, a pot of water, finely sliced ​​chicken cakes, steamed shortbread and other grains, as well as mother-in-law Liu's special stew with cinnamon, mint, cloves and other materials cooling oil.

At the beginning of the Mao Dynasty, the gate of the county government office was opened, and the servants stood in front of the door to organize the order, allowing candidates to line up to enter, and those who came to take the test were stopped outside and were not allowed to enter.

Su Yan smiled at his father Su Yue and the housekeeper Zhou Shu's eyes, waved his hands, signaling them to rest assured, then turned his head and entered the gate of the county government office.

After entering the door, you enter a temporary shed to check the items brought by the candidates: take off your coat and clothes for inspection, break open and crumble food lumps, and untie your hair bun to prevent someone from carrying a cheat sheet.

After Su Yan finished the inspection and put on his clothes, he couldn't help shivering and rubbed the palms of his hands.

He looked around and saw that some candidates were already weak and shivering from the cold, and there were constant sounds of coughing and sniffling.

It was so cold.

Su Yan complained silently in his heart, it is too inhumane to set the county examination in February when it is so cold, compared with the college entrance examination, it is much better to set it in summer

Changxi County is also considered to be a relatively affluent county with a strong literary style. This year, about two hundred people participated in the county examination.

Under the guidance of the yamen servants, Su Yan continued to walk forward, and when he met the yamen servants checking the documents, he took out his identity documents and test cards.

The identity papers contained personal information about his place of origin, as well as a description of his appearance.The yamen servant looked at the document and then sized up Su Yan for comparison.It was written on the document that Su Yan was thirteen years old, with a fair face and beardless, thin stature.The yamen servant nodded, and led him to find his examination shed.

The examination shed for the county examination was just like the one Su Yan built at his home in Changxi County, very small and dilapidated.

Su Yan couldn't help but rejoice that it didn't rain today, otherwise, the test shed would not be able to stop the rain if it rained, and the examinees would have to protect their test papers in the cold wind and rain to answer the questions, which is scary to think about.

There is only a wooden table and a small stool in the simple test shed.On the wooden table are two candles and a pen washer filled with clean water.

Su Yan took out the rag from his test basket, carefully got it wet, and gently wiped the thin layer of dust covering the table and stool.

Fortunately, the exam only takes three days, and the county exam can be handed in in advance after finishing the questions.Su Yan thought that if he finished answering the questions and made sure they were correct, he would hand in the paper immediately.He didn't want to stay longer in the harsh environment of the test shed.

Su Yan raised his head after tidying up, and suddenly found that the fat young man with big ears on the opposite side seemed to be Ji Changqing, Ji Shi's third son who was loved by the Ji family, and the "Wen Quxing descended to earth" in Ji Wu's mouth.

Su Yan vaguely remembered that Ji Changqing was about five or six years older than Ji Shi. He didn't need to do farm work since he was a child, and was sent to study in a private school in the county.Ji Shi is one year older than himself, so Ji Changqing is almost 20 years old this year, why did he take the county test at this time?

Ji Changqing on the opposite side also seemed to recognize Su Yan, thinking of something, with a grim expression.He snorted coldly, then turned his head away from looking at Su Yan.

Su Yan thought it was funny, and shook his head helplessly, thinking about so many irrelevant things.

After he took out the things in the test basket and arranged them, he began to sit down and close his eyes to rest, waiting for the test papers to be distributed.

The waiting time was long. After more than 200 candidates had gone through strict inspections and sat down in their examination sheds one after another to get ready, there was the sound of the gong of the yamen servants starting the examination.

It was dawn at this time, the sky shone slightly, and everything around became clearer and brighter.

The test questions were sent out, and everyone sent out a few test answer sheets and draft paper.

There are a total of three county examinations, and today is the first one, which is the "Initial Response" and the test papers.

After pasting the fill-in-the-blank questions and dictation questions similar to modern exams, the test is to fill in the blanks and dictate the original text of the Four Books and Five Classics.

In order to reduce the examiner's burden of grading papers, first use the scripture stickers to wipe out a group of fake candidates who didn't even write the Four Books and Five Classics silently.

Su Yan can't be troubled by the scriptures.He looked at the test paper, but there were a lot of questions, but there was no difficulty at all, as long as the paper was clean and there were no taboos.

Su Yan quickly completed the examination paper, checked it and found that there was nothing wrong with it, copied it on the answer sheet with the beautiful calligraphy he had practiced daily in the past few years, then got up directly, recruited and signaled to the clerk that he had finished answering, Submission is required.

Su Yan was the first student who finished his answer in the entire examination room. The yamen servant was a little surprised, but seeing Su Yan's exquisite face and extraordinary bearing, he didn't say anything.When he saw Su Yan's neat and beautiful handwriting on the test paper, he couldn't help being in awe, and said to him kindly: "Please follow me out from here." Su Yan nodded obediently.

As soon as he came out of the examination room, he saw his father Su Yue and the housekeeper Uncle Zhou who were still waiting, and walked towards them with a smile on his face.

Su Yue knew that the first county examination was the scripture test post, which was no problem for the youngest son.Looking at Su Yan's relaxed appearance, he also knew that he did well in the exam.

The butler, Uncle Zhou, let Su Yan get into the carriage and told him that hot tea and his favorite pastries were prepared inside, and let Su Yan eat to warm up his body first. He had already ordered the inn to prepare dinner.

The first exam was just a test post, and the county magistrate corrected the papers very quickly. The results were released at noon the next day, and the list of passed candidates was posted outside the county government, and they were notified to take the second exam in two days.

Shutong Jishi was sent by Uncle Zhou to watch the list, and he came back with a smile on his face.He smiled and said, "I knew it, the young master must be No.1! It's amazing!"

Su Yan suddenly remembered that he met Ji Changqing during the exam that day. He glanced at the opposite side before handing in the paper.

"Did you see Ji Changqing on the list? I saw him during my first exam, and he sat across from me." Su Yan asked.

Ji Shi was even happier when he heard that, and he said with a hey smile: "Master, you don't know that Ji Changqing just puts on airs and puts on airs in front of Mr. Ji and his wife. He has studied in a private school in the county for so many years, but he is actually eating, drinking and having fun in the county. , concentrate on studying at all. Someone brought this matter to Mr. Ji, and they blamed him for meddling in his own business, and were jealous of Ji Changqing's talent."

Su Yan was dumbfounded, ah, this?

No wonder Ji Changqing had studied for so many years and couldn't even pass the first county test.

The author has something to say: The county examination and other circumstances are privately set up!Don't critique Jiumi~

I wish readers all the best in exams like Su Xiaoyan~
