[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

It was also in the middle of the night, Wang Yue and Wang Gou'er got up again, this time they had someone to serve them, and it was more comfortable than last time.

The last time I went to the residence, Wang Gouer's friend's house, although his family did their best, it couldn't be more comfortable than the servants who have served people for generations.

As soon as the two fathers and sons made a movement here, they got up quickly. The person in charge of the kitchen hurriedly went to the kitchen to light a fire to cook, and the person in charge of serving the two fathers and sons quickly came over with washing water and prepared clothes to help the two fathers and sons get up. Others who were planning to go out also hurried to the porter to get their things ready, ready to go out at any time.

As for the servant girl's service, the father and son were pampered and held in the palm of their hands before, and there was no discomfort with this, but after only staying for two or three days, they were already used to the comfort of having someone take care of everything. day.

In private, Wang Gou'er also lamented to Wang Yue that these days were too comfortable, and he was really reluctant to leave here and go home. He even made up his mind that when his son became the master of Juren, he would reset his home. If he wants to work, buy a house of servants to come back to serve him, and let him enjoy the old man's happiness! !

If Mrs. Liu knew about this idea, he might have to scold him for being a prodigal again, but Wang Yue was very much in favor of it. He worked so hard to make life more comfortable. As long as there are conditions, it will naturally be as comfortable as possible.

After breakfast, the sky outside was still foggy, and it was pitch black at all. The father and son personally checked the prepared test supplies and food carefully two or three times, estimated the time, and then left for the ceremony. house.

This time, the father and son were no longer on the road alone. They were followed by two middle-aged attendants, one of whom was relatively strong, and walked directly to the ceremony room with Wang Yue in his arms.

Wang Yue refused at first, but she couldn't hold back the middle-aged follower, so she had to let him hug her.

When we arrived at the door of the ceremony room, there was another crowd of people.

The county examination is basically one out of ten. Among the 24 prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, Wen'an County can be named after literature. It can be seen that its literary style is far more prosperous than other prefectures and counties. But even so, the entire Wen'an County can be qualified to take the exam There are only thousands of people who have passed the county examination, and only a few hundred people who have passed the county examination and participated in the government examination.

This number is already the largest among the 24 states and counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. For those states and counties where the writing style is not strong, there are only a few dozen people who can come to take the exam in the entire county.

However, although there are not many people coming from each county, after all, there are 24 prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, and if they are all added together, there are more than a thousand people.

Just like the time of the county examination, everyone waited anxiously outside the ceremony room. Finally, when the time came, someone opened the gate from inside and shouted loudly: "The Dragon Gate is open!"

Everyone knows that the exam has officially begun.

After queuing up to enter the arena, the examinees first passed the inspection by the yamen servants at the gate, and then the examinees waited in front of the hall, and then were called to the front one by one by the first examiners, and the clerks who helped as security stepped forward to identify them before being led into the arena by the yamen servants.

The government test is different from the county test. The conditions here are much better than those in the county. Candidates no longer need to sit in front of the test room, but enter a special test room. Each person has a small room. Once entering the test room, unless the test At the end or early submission of papers, you are not allowed to come out in the middle, eating, drinking, and messing up are all here.

Therefore, although the examination room avoided the situation where the examinee was half-frozen to death if he sat in a shaded place like before, it also created new problems.

The examination room has existed for a very long time. It was only rebuilt when the dynasty was established because it was burned down by war. After that, although the court allocated money for repairs many times, due to some well-known reasons, the money allocated by the court can be [-]%. Second, it is not easy to use it to repair the ceremony room.

Decades-old houses will definitely have problems of one kind or another. If you are unlucky enough to be placed in a test room with air leaks everywhere, let alone fail the test, you may even suffer a serious illness because of it.

In ancient times when medical and sanitation conditions were so poor, it is impossible to say that this serious illness could kill people.

There have been so many scholars who have lost their lives because of exams throughout the ages, I am afraid that they are too many to count.

If you are assigned to a test room with good conditions, it does not mean that the test will be smooth sailing.

In case you are unlucky and meet a strange neighbor, it can also affect the exam.

Wang Yue thinks that he doesn't have the determination to study in a busy city. If there is a noisy person next to him, who keeps disturbing his neighbors and annoys him, he may violently hurt others in a hurry.

For now, I can only pray for God's blessing.

Probably because Wang Yuan prayed very sincerely, and God blessed him very much. He was allocated a test room with good conditions. As for whether the neighbors are safe or not, it depends on the next test.

In order to adapt to the exam, Wang Yue started to get up early a week earlier, so although he got up earlier today than before, he did not appear dizzy due to lack of sleep.

Even so, after checking the situation in the examination room again, he planned to sleep again.

Because it is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, the situation of the examination room here is not bad. Compared with what the teacher mentioned, the whole baking room is just a broken wooden board and a brick. The situation here is much better. At the very least, there is a simple There is a simple small wooden table, a small wooden bed, and chairs. In addition, there is a toilet in the corner and a small kettle.

But even the capital city can only provide such conditions.Wang Yue checked everything again, and after confirming that the bed, table, and chairs were all right, and the water had no peculiar smell, he was relieved.

Although the conditions are so simple, there are always some grievances in the exam, just stick to it for two days.

After taking out the things in her test basket and placing them one by one, Wang Yue lay down on the small wooden bed with her clothes on and slept.

Fortunately, he is still young and not tall enough to lie on this small wooden bed. It is only pity for those tall candidates who lie on the small wooden bed and may suffer another torture.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Wang Rui suddenly heard a gong beating outside the barn, he sat up quickly, poured some water from the kettle, wet the towel, wiped his face, and then woke up.

Sitting down at the table, the yamen servant who happened to be beating the gong came to his door, and Wang Yue heard him shouting that the exam had begun, so he spread out the papers he took out earlier, raised the pen in his hand, and was ready at any time .

Not long after, another yamen servant walked back and forth holding a huge wooden sign, and then someone followed him and shouted questions, Wang Yue hurriedly wrote down the questions, one question after another, and after a while Wang Yue Only then did Yue memorize all the questions, and then checked the wooden sign in the hands of the yamen servants walking back and forth, and found that there were no mistakes, so he calmed down and came out to examine the questions.

The first question is posting scriptures, which is dictation, specifying certain paragraphs for candidates to dictate one sentence.

This question requires a mastery of the three classics and above, and those who have a good knowledge of the five classics are the best. The "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" are mandatory. The "Book of Songs", "Zhouli" and "Yili" can choose one or two classics; the "Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Zhuliang Zhuan" of Xiaojing can choose one classic.

Now Wang Yue has no choice but to thank the benefits brought by time-traveling. The photographic memory is simply a killer in the examination room. It’s so easy. As soon as Wang Yue saw the topic, the original text appeared in Wang Yue’s mind. Delay, if he can spend less time on the first question than others, then he will have to think longer than other candidates on the latter questions. This is his advantage, and he naturally cannot waste it.

Wang Yue directly wrote down the paragraphs that needed to be silently written on the draft paper, and after checking that they were correct, he immediately transcribed them on the examination paper.

While the other candidates were still thinking hard, Wang Yue's smooth and correct writing seemed a bit eye-catching.

The chief examiner who came to patrol saw the situation here from a distance, walked over calmly, and stopped in front of the candidates here for a while, and stopped here for a few seconds longer at Wang Yue's place.

However, most of the candidates were immersed in the test questions, and even if they noticed, most of them were nervous and could not notice the difference of one or two seconds at all, so no one noticed that the chief examiner was interested in Wang Yue.

After a quick glance at Wang Yue's test paper, the examiner left for the resting place.

Seeing that the chief examiner had gone back, the other inspectors also returned to their resting places one after another.

The chief examiner then asked a few questions about the candidate's situation, and then said with a smile: "I just saw a candidate who was only seven or eight years old. The answers are quick, and there is no mistake or omission, which is really rare."

Seeing that the chief examiner was interested, someone who knew the situation immediately replied with a smile: "If it is the eight-year-old examinee, it is not unusual for him to have such a score. After all, he is the top case in Wen'an County this year. How could the county magistrate of Wen'an County appoint him as the chief of the case?"

"I just remembered what you mentioned. It is true that there is an eight-year-old candidate this year. Before the exam, there were rumors that he was likely to get No.1 in the government exam. I only thought that it was an outsider spreading rumors , I never thought that he was really capable.”

"No matter how good he is, he is indeed too young in terms of age. I don't think this year will be a challenge. Let him go back and practice for another two years."

The author has something to say: I did another stupid thing. There was an exam recently. I came here today to get the admission ticket. There was an announcement before, but I didn’t read it carefully. I always thought it was a month-end exam. Only to find out that the exam is tomorrow morning, I was instantly confused!How to take the exam without reviewing anything! !Originally, I was going to hug Buddha's feet in the afternoon, but I couldn't hold back and played the game for a while, and then watched a wave of web dramas. The strength explained what it means to die if you don't die! ! _(?_`」∠)_ Stay up late at night to read! ! p(?⌒｀?q)?゜.
