[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

After the Duanyang Festival, the college examination officially starts.

Lin Ruhai and Xiao Daiyu were still the same as before. They got up early in the morning to have breakfast with Lin Huaiyu, and then sent Lin Huaiyu to the examination room of the college examination.

The examination room of the college examination is in the Gongyuan of Yangzhou Prefecture.The college exam is the last exam in the children's exam, and it is also the most important exam in the children's exam, so its exam room should be held in the most important place.

Since it is the last exam among the three exams, it is naturally the most difficult of the three exams.Every year, many people fail in the college examination and fail to be a scholar.

Every year, many people successfully pass the county and government examinations, but each time they fail in the courtyard examination, leaving only one step away from being a scholar.

There is a very famous middle-aged man in Yangzhou. Not only did he pass the county and government examinations every year, but he did well in the exams, but every time he took the college exams, he just failed.He has been taking the exam for 20 years in a row, and he can pass the county and government exams every time, but he can't pass the college exam, and he is always one step away from being a scholar.

There are not many students who have been sitting in the college examination like this, because they are only short of the last step and failed to pass the exam, and there are also many people who are sick, crazy, or dead.

From these things, we can see how difficult the college entrance examination is.Of course, the college entrance examination is not easy for the vast majority of people, but it is not difficult for some people.

Before the college exam, Lin Huaiyu brushed the exam questions of previous years.Compared with the county examination and the government examination, the difficulty of the college examination questions has indeed increased a lot, but it is still very easy for him.

For Lin Huaiyu, the exam questions in previous years were not as difficult as those given by Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen.Let's put it this way, the difficulty of the exam questions in previous years was the graduation exam, but the difficulty of the exam questions for Ye Wenfu and the others was at the Olympiad level.

Lin Huaiyu was fortunate that Ye Wenfu and the others did not write the questions for the three exams in Tongshi, otherwise very few people would have passed the exam.However, he thought that starting from the township examination, all the questions of the imperial examination were written by them, and he felt that the possibility of his passing the examination was very small.

In the previous county examinations and government examinations, Lin Huaiyu got the top of the list.Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen not only did not write letters to praise him, but instead asked him to be the top case in the middle school examination, striving to pass the "little three yuan" examination.

Regarding the "Little Sanyuan" exam, if you say that you have no expectations at all, it must be a lie. Lin Huaiyu also hopes that she can pass the "Little Sanyuan" exam.However, the case leaders of the hospital examination are not as easy to take as the case leaders of the county and government examinations.

Lin Huaiyu felt that it would be a good thing if he was really lucky enough to be admitted to the top of the court and realize the "Little Three Yuan".However, it's okay if you don't pass the court exam.

He didn't think it was that important to be the case chief of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen wrote to him, asking him to take the case of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to realize the "little three yuan".

Among the three of Lin Ruhai, Song Xiuwen, and Ye Wenfu, only Song Xiuwen passed the exam that year.When Lin Ruhai was a child, he passed the county and government examinations, but failed to pass the court examination. He was only one step away from the court examination.That year, his college took the No.2 exam.When Ye Wenfu took the children's examination back then, he passed the county examination and the hospital examination, but not the government examination, so he did not pass the junior three yuan examination.

"You don't have to worry about the words of Lao Song and Lao Ye." Seeing his son's serious expression, Lin Ruhai thought he was nervous, and comforted him in a gentle voice, "It doesn't matter whether you take the exam or not, just pass the college exam. .” Lin Ruhai didn’t ask Lin Huaiyu to take the entrance exam.At that time, he himself didn't take the junior high school three yuan exam, so what qualifications did he have to ask his son to take the junior middle school three yuan exam.

Xiao Daiyu cheered her brother up and said, "Brother, you will definitely pass the examination for scholar."

"I'm still very confident in passing the examination as a scholar." Lin Huaiyu said with a light smile, "As for the case, I'm not very sure."

"Brother, when you took the county and government exams, you also said that you were not sure of getting the top case, but you got the top case." Xiao Daiyu glanced at her brother and said in a meaningful tone, "This time You also said that you are not sure that you will win the top case, maybe you will win the top case again." Xiao Daiyu did not know that there is a word that can describe her brother very accurately, and that is Versailles.

Lin Huaiyu said very modestly: "I'm really not sure." The ancient imperial examinations are not like modern examinations.Modern examinations have standard answers, but ancient imperial examinations did not have standard answers, especially policy theory.He cannot guarantee that the strategies and theories he writes will appeal to every examiner who marks the examination papers.Each examiner has different preferences, some like his policy theory, and some don't like his policy theory, so there will be differences in scoring. "Being able to pass the first case in the county and government examinations shows that I have good luck. I don't think I will always have good luck, allowing me to pass the first case in the hospital examination."

Seeing his son so humble, Lin Ruhai was very pleased.If it were someone else who had taken the county and government examinations consecutively, he would be proud, even proud and conceited, thinking that he would definitely be the leader in the college examination.However, Lin Huaiyu hadn't paid much attention to the fact that he passed the county and government examinations as the chief of the case, nor did he think how great it was for him to be the chief of the case twice in a row, and even felt that he was lucky to pass the exam.

In fact, strength is also luck.If you don't have the strength, how can you have the good luck to win the top case twice in a row.However, Lin Huaiyu didn't think so.

"Brother, you are too modest."

"I call it self-knowledge."

When the system heard Lin Huaiyu's words, it complained silently, why did it think the host was in Versailles.

Lin Ruhai said lovingly, "Brother Huai, it's good for you to think so." Then, he told Lin Huaiyu about some rules and regulations of the examination.

The Gongyuan is not far from the Lin family, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to go there by carriage.

There were already many candidates waiting in line in the square at the gate of the Gongyuan. After Lin Huaiyu said goodbye to Lin Ruhai and the others, he jumped off the carriage and joined the queue in the square.

At this time, it was just dawn, and a few red clouds gathered in the sky, as if soaked in blood, as if telling all the candidates that today was an extremely bloody battle.

Some superstitious candidates saw a few clouds of blood floating in the sky, and felt it was unlucky, worrying that it would affect their grades.Of course, these people who think so obviously have no strength, and attribute the reason for failing the exam to these non-existent things.

The gate of the Gongyuan will be opened at Mao Shichu, and there is still a quarter of an hour before Mao Shichu.

There are more and more candidates queuing up in the square, but there is no noise or commotion.The scene was very quiet, a little scary.

The reason why the examinees dared not speak was mainly because there were many soldiers and government servants with swords and swords standing at the gate of the Gongyuan.These soldiers and yamen servants all looked solemn, and exuded a bitter aura from all over their bodies.

Many candidates were intimidated by the sharp aura of these soldiers and yamen servants, and the timid ones were even so frightened that their legs became weak. They dared not make any noise, and they all waited quietly for the gate of the Gongyuan to open.

Judging from the soldiers and yamen servants at the gate of the Gongyuan, they knew that the court examination was much stricter than the previous county and government examinations.

The hospital exam is different from the county exam and the government exam. It requires two exams, one formal and one re-examination, and each exam takes one day.However, the content of the college examination is similar to that of the government examination, four books, five classics, policy theory, poetry and prose.

The four-book questions mainly test the content of the four books.The Five Classics questions mainly examine Tie Jing and Mo Yi.

Tie Jing: In fact, it is a fill-in-the-blank question, where a few words on a line in the book are given, and the examinee fills in the rest of the words.

Mo Yi: In fact, it is a short-answer question, a simple answer to the scriptures.For example, if the topic is "Learn the new by reviewing the old", then the examinee only needs to write down the meaning of this sentence.It's the same as asking students to translate into vernacular Chinese in the modern examination of classical Chinese.

Policy theory: In fact, it is a composition question. The main examiner sets the question to guide the matter, and the examinee uses this to make a fuss.To put it simply, the test is politics.For example, take a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius. For Politics" as the topic, and let candidates answer the questions in combination with current current affairs and politics.

Poetry and Fu: In fact, it is to make poems, which is the same as a five-character six-rhyme poem in the county examination.

At the beginning of Mao, the gate of the tribute courtyard was opened, and candidates entered the tribute courtyard in an orderly manner.

After entering the courtyard of the Tribute Academy, the examinees once again stood in four rows in order.

Before entering the examination room, it is natural to go through a rigorous and detailed search.

The college exam is the same as the government exam, candidates are not allowed to bring anything.Pen, ink, paper and inkstone will be provided in the examination room.Lunch will also be provided in the examination room.During the government examination, two big steamed buns were given out. It is said that one big steamed bun and one steamed bun will be given out in the courtyard test.Of course, buns are not filled with meat.

The searches in the hospital examination are more detailed and strict. In addition to taking off their clothes and shoes and socks, some candidates even let their hair down.It seems that someone hid the cheat sheet in the hair or in the hairpin before, so the candidates who wore crowns or hairpins in their hair would have their hair pulled.

Lin Huaiyu's hair was directly tied with a ribbon, so that the servants would not pluck her hair.

The man standing in front of Lin Huaiyu wore a purple gold crown, which was removed by the yamen servants.Seeing that this man was spoiled and spoiled at home, he didn't know how to tie his hair, so he had to let his hair loose.However, fortunately, there are many people with loose hair like him.

When it was Lin Huaiyu's turn, the servants immediately looked at him differently, and their attitudes became more polite. The search for him was not as rough and impatient as the man just now.

The reason why the yamen servants are polite to Lin Huaiyu is that Lin Huaiyu's father is Lin Ruhai.In the entire Yangzhou officialdom, no one knew who Lin Ruhai was.On the other hand, Lin Huaiyu is the head of the county and government examinations.

If Lin Huaiyu wasn't Lin Ruhai's son, the yamen servants would be more polite to him just because he was the head of the county and government examinations.

Lin Huaiyu's search ended quickly, and then he went to the examination room under the leadership of another yamen servant.

He was in the first examination room again, and sat in the first seat again.Before, when he took the government exam, he didn't know how he would sit in the first place in the first exam room.After the exam, he knew that the examination room and seats of the prefectural exam were arranged according to the results of the county exam.Then, the examination room and seats of the college examination are also arranged according to the results of the government examination.

Lin Huaiyu was the head of the government examination, so he was naturally arranged to sit first.Before the exam started, Lin Huaiyu first checked the pen and ink provided by the exam room.In the past, some people who took the government examination were not very good at pen and ink. This person was too timid to speak, and his handwriting was not very good.

After carefully checking the pen and ink and finding that there were no problems, he began to retouch and sharpen the ink.

After a while, the candidates arrived one after another.

Candidates sat in their "little rooms", waiting nervously, fearfully and full of anticipation for the start of the exam.

Soon, the heavy and distant bell rang in the Gongyuan.After three bells, the college examination officially began.

The yamen servants began to distribute the test papers.Lin Huaiyu got the test paper, and as usual, checked the test paper for any mistakes, omissions or ambiguities.After confirming that there are no problems in the test paper, start to read the questions.

The first four-book question is the content of the books "The Analects", "University", "Mencius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean".

The college exam is more difficult than the government exam.The content of the Four Books of the Government Examination is that a complete sentence will be given, and the examinee is asked to write down the content before and after the sentence.But the college test is a bit tricky, what it gives is not a complete sentence, but half a sentence or a few words.What's even more perverted is that it will give two words in the first sentence, and then one word in the fifth sentence, allowing candidates to fill in the five sentences.However, as long as you memorize the content of the Four Books, you can answer.

In fact, it is better if the five sentences are coherent, but I am afraid that the five sentences will not be the content of an article.For example, the first sentence is taken from "Great Learning", the second sentence is taken from "Mencius", and the third sentence is taken from "The Analects of Confucius"...

Sometimes, in order to confuse the examinees, the words in several sentences are the same. For example, the word [junzi] is given at the beginning of the first sentence, the word [junzi] is given in the middle of the second sentence, and the word [junzi] is given in the third sentence. Then give the word [gentleman], let the candidates fill in the content of these three sentences.

Even if you memorize the contents of the Four Books, you will be at a loss when you see such a topic. After all, there are many "gentlemen" in the contents of the Four Books.

However, this is not difficult for Lin Huaiyu, after all, every content of the Four Books and Five Classics is deep in his brain.Seeing the word [junzi], his brain will automatically [search engine], allowing him to find the corresponding content accurately and misunderstood.

Many examinees in the examination room saw the topics of the Four Books, and their faces became solemn in an instant.At the beginning, the topic was so difficult, wouldn't it be even more difficult for Tie Jing and Mo Yi to follow.

Sure enough, the examinees were not disappointed. The scriptures, Mo Yi, and policy theory in the following are all very difficult, hundreds of times more difficult than the government examination.However, it was not difficult for Lin Huaiyu.

The exam questions for the college exam are much more difficult than those for the government exam, but they are much simpler compared to the exam questions for the college exam given by Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen.

In the first examination room, almost all the candidates answered the questions with a sad face, only Lin Huaiyu looked relaxed.

The chief examiner, Xuezheng, patrolled the examination room.The chief examiner of the county examination is the county magistrate.The examiner for the government examination is the magistrate, and the examiner for the college examination is Xuezheng.

When Xuezheng-sama makes his rounds, he will look at the candidates' answers curiously.Seeing that most of the candidates did not answer very well, they shook their heads in disappointment.

Lin Huaiyu found that Mr. Xuezheng came to him, but he didn't care, he just ignored his existence and wrote policy theory calmly.

Master Xuezheng knew that Lin Huaiyu was the head of the government examination, so he came here specially to see how he answered the questions.Seeing him writing policy theory, I was very surprised.Other examinees were still answering questions about the Four Books or the Sutra, but Lin Huaiyu was actually writing policy theory.

Lin Huaiyu had already written the titles of the Four Books, Tie Jing and Mo Yi.

Master Xuezheng carefully looked at Lin Huaiyu's answers to the four-book questions and the Moyi questions in the Tiejing, and found that none of the questions were wrong. He was very shocked.Then, he read the policy theory written by Lin Huaiyu.

Lin Huaiyu is very good at writing policy theory, and the first sentence caught the attention of Mr. Xuezheng.

Looking down, the more you look, the more shocked you become, the more you look, the more shocked you become. Xuezheng's expression changed from calm to shocked, and he exclaimed in his heart that he is indeed the leader of the county and government examinations.

Lin Huaiyu quickly wrote the policy theory on the manuscript paper, then checked it carefully, and after confirming that there were no problems, copied it into the test paper.

After reading the policy theory written by Lin Huaiyu, Master Xuezheng turned around and left to go to the next candidate's answer.When he turned back to Lin Huaiyu again, Lin Huaiyu had already answered all the exam questions.

He looked at the poems written by Lin Huaiyu curiously, and found that the child not only wrote good strategies and theories, but also wrote very beautiful poems.

Lin Huaiyu checked the examination paper again and again, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, she placed the examination paper neatly in the examination box.Next, wait for the servants to distribute lunch.After lunch, he can go to bed.

Two quarters of an hour later, the yamen servants finally handed out lunch, a big steamed bun and a big steamed stuffed bun.Sure enough, the buns are not stuffed with meat, but stuffed with cabbage.Although it is stuffed with cabbage, it tastes good.

To be honest, one steamed bun and one steamed bun are really not enough to eat.Fortunately, he ate a lot in the morning, and ate a lot of snacks in the carriage, so he is not very hungry now, otherwise he would eat a steamed bun and buns, and he would definitely not last until the evening to hand in the paper.

After eating steamed buns and buns, Lin Huaiyu lay down on the table to sleep.

Master Xuezheng returned to the examination room after lunch and continued to inspect. Seeing Lin Huaiyu sleeping on the table, he smiled helplessly.

In the examination room, in addition to the inspection by Xuezheng adults, there were also inspections by government servants.

Several yamen servants visited the first examination room when they were in the government examination before, so they knew Lin Huaiyu and were very impressed with him.

The reason why I have a deep impression on Lin Huaiyu is that Lin Huaiyu is so good-looking that anyone who has seen him will never forget him.The second is that Lin Huaiyu slept all afternoon during the government examination.Unexpectedly, he was still sleeping on the table in the college entrance examination.

During the government examination, Lin Huaiyu slept all afternoon, but was ridiculed and joked by many people, thinking that he could not write and fell asleep after giving up completely. Unexpectedly, he finally passed the test.

Seeing Lin Huaiyu sleeping like a government exam again, the examinees dare not laugh at him anymore.

For the other examinees, the questions on Tie Jing, Mo Yi, and Ce were very difficult, and all of them frowned and thought bitterly about how to answer the questions.However, Lin Huaiyu changed his position at this time and continued to sleep.

Seeing Lin Huaiyu sleeping soundly, the other candidates were filled with envy and hatred.

After sleeping for a while, Lin Huaiyu was numb and woke up, and then moved her body.

At this moment, Master Xuezheng came over, as if he hadn't seen him, he fell asleep on the table very naturally and calmly.

When Master Xuezheng saw Lin Huaiyu sleeping leisurely, he thought for a moment that this was not the examination room for the college examination.It is also a skill to be able to sleep heartlessly in the examination room, and most people can't do it.

Lin Huaiyu was woken up by the bell of the end of the exam.His test paper was the first to be put away.

Master Xuezheng came to collect his examination papers in person, and made fun of him by the way: "How did you sleep?"

Lin Huaiyu didn't expect Master Xuezheng to ask him this question. After being slightly stunned for a while, he smiled and said, "I slept pretty well, but sleeping on my stomach is not very comfortable, half of my body is numb from sleep."

Hearing his answer, Master Xuezheng couldn't help laughing: "The conditions are limited."

Lin Huaiyu continued his words and said, "So, I don't feel disgusted."

When Master Xuezheng heard Lin Huaiyu's witty words, he almost couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for not giving up."

Lin Huaiyu said generously, "You're welcome."

Master Xuezheng didn't expect Lin Huaiyu to be such an interesting kid, and he wasn't afraid of him at all.However, if Lin Huaiyu was afraid of him, she wouldn't sleep all afternoon.He smiled and said nothing, and went to accept the test papers of the next candidates.

Lin Huaiyu's examination papers were put away, so he naturally had to leave the examination room.Just like during the imperial examination, he limped out of the Gongyuan.

Seeing their young master limping out again, Lin Steward and Liu Jinu stopped making a fuss like last time.

"Master, are you numb from sleep again?"

Lin Huaiyu nodded: "Yes." He wore a lot of clothes in the last exam, so it wasn't too uncomfortable to sleep on the table.However, this time he didn't wear much clothes, and it was very hard to sleep on the table, which was quite annoying and very uncomfortable. "Too hard for an uncomfortable sleep."

Lin Butler and Liu Jinu didn't know what to say when they heard this.The others came to the Tribute Academy to take the exam, only their young master came to the Tribute Academy to sleep.

Lin Ruhai and Xiao Daiyu knew that Lin Huaiyu was asleep again when they saw Lin Huaiyu's appearance of inconvenient movement.

Without Lin Huaiyu calling, Xiao Daiyu was very considerate and offered to massage his arm.

"Brother, if you don't feel comfortable sleeping, don't sleep."

"If you don't sleep, you have nothing to do. You can't just sit in the examination room in a daze all afternoon." Lin Huaiyu complained again, "Why can't the imperial examination be handed in in advance?"

"Is it difficult?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"It's harder than the government exam." Lin Huaiyu told Lin Ruhai about the college exam questions, and then explained the content of his answers.

After Lin Ruhai listened carefully, she praised Lin Huaiyu for her good answer.

"Tomorrow is the last exam, and it will be over after the exam." Tomorrow is the re-examination of the college exam, and it will be completely over after the exam. For the time being, there is no need to take a nap in the exam room and suffer.The next rural examination will have to wait until three years later.

"After the exam, do you want to go out to play?" Lin Ruhai said, "You and Daiyu haven't gone out to play for a long time."

"Where are we going to play?" In order to participate in the children's exam, Lin Huaiyu has been preparing for the exam since last year. He stays at home to study and study on weekdays, and rarely goes out to play. "Sister, where do you want to go?"

"Brother, it's almost summer, let's go to Zhuangzi." Every summer, Xiao Daiyu and the others would move to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.

"You don't want to go out and play?"

"It's hot, I don't want to go out to play." Although Xiao Daiyu is not afraid of heat, she doesn't like summer.When it's hot, I don't want to go out, because I'm sweaty when I move a little. "Brother, let's go to Zhuangzi to play."

"Okay, we'll move to live in Zhuangzi after the results of the college examination are released." After the college examination, he had to relax and rest for a while before preparing for the rural examination.
