The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The sound of drumming sounded, and the examiner shouted, "The exam begins!"

The yamen servant distributed the papers one by one, and the candidates all got their own papers, and Li Wen also got his own papers.The yamen servant holding the sign stood in the middle of the corridor, and he hurriedly copied the title onto paper.

Like the previous county examinations and government examinations, the college examination also has five exams, but before the main exam, there is an additional exam on classics and ancient times. theory, poetry, etc.

In order to prevent the examiners from favoritism, the papers of their exams this time are sealed, so before the results come out, the examinees who mark the papers do not know who the candidates for each paper are.

As soon as the papers were handed out and the exam questions were obtained, Li Wen started to hurry up to answer the questions.

The hospital examination is more difficult than the previous county examination and government examination, and there is another problem that the number of questions will be larger.In order to prevent his own exam questions from being overwhelmed later, Li Wen planned to do as fast as possible in the front, and it doesn't matter if there is a little time left in the end, it is better than being unable to answer the questions.

During normal training, he consciously trains his answering speed, just to cope with the situation in the examination room later.

Every exam in the college exam starts before dawn and is handed in at sunset.

The first exam was not too difficult for Li Wen, but when the papers were handed in, there were still many candidates who hadn't finished the papers.He didn't even finish the papers, and the first exam was basically over.

"Sambo, here." Uncle Li, who was waiting outside the door, saw his nephew coming out, and shouted.

Li Wen walked over to his second uncle and Uncle Yuan, and waited until Shen Zijing and Su Yuan came out together, and then everyone went back together.On the way, they didn't ask each other how the answers to today's questions were, but if no one spoke, it meant that they had finished today's questions, and basically the problems would not be too big.

In the evening, they went back to have dinner, and after taking a bath, they went back to their respective houses.

Same as the previous two exams, each time a test is passed, the list of the next one will be announced. Candidates will find their own numbers on the list, and the number above means that they have passed the first test.

Those who are not here mean that this exam is over, and they are going to take the exam again next year.

"It's passed..."

Every time the list is released, some people cry and some laugh, and everyone has long been accustomed to this.

This time without his father coming here, Li Wen found that it was very difficult for him to go in and look at the list.His second uncle and his father are brothers, so why are they so different in size!With the size of his second uncle, taking him in would only result in being trampled to death.

Anyway, they weren't in a hurry, they just waited until the people in front finished reading it, and then they went over to read it.

"pass.,'

"pass."

The results of the first test came out, and all three of them passed.

Next is the second and third exams. After each exam, the list of candidates will be announced.Li Wen was relatively confident in his answers to the questions, and he was not nervous, but before the results of each match, his second uncle was more nervous than him.

Basically, in the previous few exams, Li Wen saw that his ranking was not outside the top three.

By the time of the fifth test, there were not many candidates left. Li Wen, Shen Zijing, and Su Yuan all successfully entered the final test.If there is no accident in the last match, the three of them will be able to get the qualifications of raw students.

Just like the previous four exams, before the exam, they had to go through strict checks frequently, and they could only enter the exam room after being confirmed by the school administration.

Xuezheng saw a few impressive faces here, nodded in satisfaction, and let people in.

After Li Wendao thanked him, he took the number plate, walked into the examination room, and found the room where he took the exam.

The fifth exam is also about essay writing. The first four exams are the entry tickets to determine whether they can enter the final exam. The last exam is to determine whether they can get the qualifications of students and determine their ranking.

The exam questions are not too biased, but it takes a little ink in the stomach to write such an article brilliantly

Under the guidance of Dean Fu this year, Li Wen's writing has become more standardized and rigorous than before.After getting the topic, he already had an idea in his mind on how to write this article, and only after he had an idea in his mind did he start to start writing.

After a manuscript was typed and then revised, Li Wen wrote the words one by one on the paper.

He treats every exam as a crucial exam, and treats each exam with 12 points of seriousness, because he wants to ensure that he passes every exam. to continue the game.

After finishing the last word, a little smile appeared on Li Wen's face, and he closed his pen.

He grasped the timing just right. There was still a little time before the end of the exam. Taking advantage of the remaining time, he checked the paper twice from the beginning to the end. After checking, he found no paper leaks, and then put the paper in. Inside the sealed bag, when the exam is over, the guards will come to collect the papers.

"nf—d$—nt—"

Hearing the familiar sound of drumming, the last exam of the college exam was over, and the candidates were released after handing in their papers.

After leaving the examination room, Li Wen, Shen Zijing and Su Yuan gathered together before going back to their place of residence.

After so many days of testing, everyone came back exhausted.

After dinner, they all went back to their respective rooms, fell on the bed and took a good night's sleep.It was already the next day after waking up, when Li Wen was sitting in the lobby eating breakfast, Su Yuan came first, and Shen Zijing was the last.

It can be seen that the exams in the past few days have drained their last bit of energy, and they haven't fully recovered after a good night's sleep.

"Pfft..." Seeing Shen Zijing's sleepy face, Li Wen couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay... well, I'm exhausted from this exam." Shen Zijing sat down on the chair, and Su Yuan helped him serve the porridge, and he thanked him.At this moment, he was really hungry, Shen Zijing took a sip of porridge.

Su Yuan's eyes looked at Shen Zijing, and his smiling eyes were crooked.

"This is the hospital exam. Think about it, we still have the township exam and general exam to take..." After the township exam, they will live in the exam room for a few days and nights. Thinking about the feeling, Li Wen felt that he It's better to eat two more buns, he grabbed a bun for Shen Zijing, and said, "Eat buns, eat buns, let's eat two more buns to replenish money

gas.

"Eating a steamed stuffed bun won't replenish your vitality. I want to drink and eat meat!" Shen Zijing glared at Li Wen, and said viciously.

"Okay, let's find a restaurant to have a good meal in the evening." Li Wen also wanted to reward himself with a good meal, this exam is really tiring!I think the college entrance examination was not so tiring back then.However, when I think that it is not the most tiring now, and the more tiring ones are still waiting for them, my heart...

The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridgehead, let's talk about it later.

After breakfast, Shen Zijing couldn't help but ran back to the house to sleep, leaving Li Wen and Su Yuan staring at each other.

None of the three of them went out to the yard that day, and they all rested in the yard.

After the college exam, they still have to wait for a result of the exam here in Fucheng.

During this period, many candidates and students made friends and gathered outside, talking about the imperial examination and state affairs.Li Wen and Su Yuan were not very interested in this kind of gathering outside, but Shen Zijing was a lively person, so he had to drag them out together.

It's just that after going there a few times, Shen Zijing also lost interest in those gatherings, so he stopped pulling them out of those places.

They have to wait here for the results of the government examination before going back to Qingping Town.

Walking on the street, Li Wen noticed that there were more beggars on the road than when they came the year before last.

Seeing children begging on the road beside adults, passers-by see beggars approaching, dislike their bad smell, and walk away from them.Li Wen stood there watching for a while, and asked Li Tong to buy some steamed buns and steamed buns.

"Yes, young master, I'll go right away." Hearing what the young master said, Li Tong hurried to buy it, and handed it back to the young master.Li Wen took the buns he bought, handed them to the adults begging, and said, "Give it to the children."

"Thank you young master, thank you young master, you are really a good person." The beggar took the still warm steamed stuffed bun, quickly took out one for the children, and thanked the young master repeatedly for buying them something to eat.

The little beggar with a dirty face has big bright eyes and holds a hot bun in her hand. She looks up at the big brother who bought her food.

"Eat." Li Wen wanted to reach out to touch the little girl, but he didn't do that, so he left with Li Tong.

On the way back, Li Wen was thinking about the snowstorm a few years ago, and the fact that the court increased the grain tax this year. I don’t know how many people’s only grains were wiped out from their homes. people like

How to spend the rest of the day?

There are already so many beggars in Fucheng, and I don't know how to do it in other places.

In this era, a small natural and man-made disaster can kill many people.The imperial government's relief was a drop in the bucket, and it could not solve the problem at all. Often, the silver for disaster relief was deprived by the upper levels, and there was very little left in the hands of the people.

He can buy a few buns for two beggars, but he cannot give two buns to every beggar in the world.Li Wen realizes that his power is small. He lives in such an era, which has the helplessness and sorrow of this era, but what can he do for this era?Li Wen was a little confused, the road was right in front of him, but he didn't know where the road was going.

He just stood by the side of the road without moving.

"Master, why don't you leave?" Li Tong who was following behind didn't know why their young master stopped walking, he stood here and asked aloud.

"It's nothing, let's go back." Li Wen smiled in his heart, feeling that he was thinking too much.During the period before the release of the list, Li Wen had been reading in the room, and often stopped after looking at it, thinking about problems.

Shen Zijing came over and saw that Li Wen didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was worried about his grades, but instead he comforted Li Wen, "Don't worry, Ah Wen, you will be able to pass, if you can't even pass, It’s even more impossible for us to pass.”

This made Li Wen dumbfounded, he wasn't worried about whether he could live.
