The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life

The students of Ningxing Mansion spontaneously sent the old man to the inner city to prevent the old man from being targeted by thieves again.And left some money for him in private, or pen and ink that can be used.

But since the inner city, it will be relatively much safer.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the eighth month of August. Li Jin, Pan Youfeng, and Wu Wei woke up early in the morning, carrying the book baskets that had been packed last night, and headed to the gate of the Gongyuan.

In his previous life, Li Jin had heard that in front of the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan was a slowly flowing Qinhuai River, and on the opposite side were brothels.

Although it was in the south, and there were not many waterways in their northern land, the Goulan Courtyard was very similar.

A few days ago when Li Jin went to visit the site, he could smell the aroma of rouge wafting from the small building not far from the Gongyuan.

The fellow scholars were a little eager to move, but they held back their thoughts when they thought that they were about to participate in Qiu Wei.

But there were still some people who couldn't hold back, and went to Goulan Courtyard to have a good time for a few days, and waited until the morning of the eighth day of the eighth day before they hurriedly packed their clothes and book baskets and went to the exam.

In the early morning of summer, when Li Jin first arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, the sky was still dark. He hadn't waited for a long time, and the distance gradually turned pale.

After a while, the sky brightened up.

In the surrounding small buildings, some girls opened the windows and looked at the scholars below.

Those who are too old are not read, and those who are too short are not read. Only those who are tall and have thick hair are selected.

"Look, sisters, is that Qian Xiucai?"

"Yo, it's true, Qian Xiucai has lived with me for three days, how can I not know him."

However, their voices could not be heard because they were far away, and they did not dare to make loud noises, after all, this was the entrance of the Gongyuan.

Qiu Wei's body search was even more meticulous. Not only did he take off his clothes, but he also had to let the scholars walk from the first door to the second door naked, so as to prevent someone from hiding the entrainment in the anorum.

After all, Qiuwei has a number room for each exam, and no one will care even if you want to answer the paper shirtless after closing the door.

It's just that there will be examiners patrolling occasionally. If you see candidates shirtless from the hole, you may lose your impression points.

The distance between the first door and the second door was only about ten meters. Those who walked shyly or strode and dropped things from behind were all pulled out and dealt with.

For other talents who pass the inspection, they have to take off their hair crowns or square scarves to check whether there is any entrainment in their hair.Finally, the ears, mouth, and nostrils were checked one by one before being released.

The layout of Li Jin's Gong Yuan No. is arranged according to Tiandi Xuanhuang. Li Jin was lucky and assigned to the beginning of the place.

Previously, he, Pan Youfeng and Wu Wei had bought the distribution map of the Tribute Court. They already knew that the whole Tribute Court was in a square shape, and the central axis was where the examiners lived. Every corner is a hut.

The prefix is ​​very close to the examiner's residence, and Li Jin is in the middle of the prefix, so it is far, far away from the hut.

Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Lu Changdong's situation last year was applied to him, he might not be able to answer the question in the end.

Li Jin took his number plate and stood behind the scholars who had passed the inspection.

Wait until everyone has checked, and then they can enter the number room one by one.

In addition to two wooden boards, there is a charcoal basin and a candle in the No. [-] room.

Even though Li Jin was mentally prepared, he still felt very crowded the moment he entered.

He is not fat, and his body is not considered strong, but he is a bit tall and has long legs. After entering the number room and closing the door, he only feels his hands and feet are tied.

Li Jin put down the book basket, stepped over a wooden board, and stood inside the number room.After the test questions and answer sheets were sent out, he directly put the original charcoal fire and candles near the door.

Anyway, the doors are locked now, and he won't go to the toilet for a while, so he might as well make room for himself.

During the autumn period, the charcoal fire was used for cooking, and when the next spring, half of the cooking and half of the fire were used.

Li Jin touched the wall and found that it was made of wood. By the way, he prayed that the examinees would not start a fire in the middle of the night, or if one accidentally burns the wall, it may cause a fire.

Li Jin carefully sprinkled the realgar around his room, and then took down a wooden board and set it up in the recessed part of the wall, using it as a table.The other fast plank is used for sitting, but it is actually difficult to stretch the legs, but at this time, I can only bear it.

Li Jin took out his pen and ink, and began to think about the exam questions while grinding the ink.

Qiu Wei took the nine-day exam, which was also a huge test of the candidates' willpower.

It's still early and the weather isn't hot yet, so Li Jin took off the relatively thick single shirt that Fu Lang sewed, folded it and put it in the book basket.

This time, Qiu Wei said that candidates are not allowed to wear cotton-padded clothes, and at most two unlined clothes.

Qin Muwen prepared a thin one for Li Jin to wear during the day, and another thicker one to cover his body at night.

Li Jin has already planned that every morning is the time when his mind is most awake, and he has to calm down to write good articles during this time.

When it gets hotter at noon, and the wooden house doesn't absorb heat, it might make people drowsy.Even Li Jin couldn't guarantee his state of mind at that time.

The first round of Qiuwei is very important. Many examiners only rely on the students' first essays to decide whether to admit or not, and regard the next two rounds as a foil for going through the motions. [Note]

But this is not absolute. Some examiners attach great importance to the gorgeousness of students' rhetoric. This is also a matter of personal habits.

But no matter what, the first exam is very important.

Li Jin first picked up the exam questions and began to read. There were seven questions in the first round, including three questions from the Four Books and four questions from the Five Classics. [Note]

The three four-book questions are the same for all candidates, while the four five-class questions allow candidates to choose four of the twenty questions to answer. [Note]

Li Jin scanned all the questions first, and picked out some questions that could not only show off his talents, but also not touch the interests of high-ranking people.

At that time, when he and Wan Yun were revising each other's strategies, the two had discussed some sensitive topics.

For example, beware that the emperor killed his elder brother and only ascended the throne in his 50s, instead of giving up the throne to the young princes. There are pros and cons of this approach.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be written on the answer sheet. At that time, after Li Jin and Wan Yun had practiced similar questions, they would burn them immediately, so as not to be caught by others.

Therefore, Li Jin chose a few topics related to current affairs. Although the angle of the topic was relatively novel, Li Jin also knew these things by heart, and knew what to list when he saw the topic.

Instead, there are three questions and four books, one of which is extremely strange.

The title has only one word, 'two'.

This is even more fragmented than the interception questions in the previous courtyard test. He didn't even count a complete sentence, not a single word, but just a word 'two'.

Li Jin thought about it, and there are many places where two appeared in "The Analects", such as "Zhou Jianyu the second generation", "Ci Ye heard one to know two", "Yu Si, where did the two come first"...

But this question only has a simple 'two', probably not from a sentence, but a specially listed 'two'.

Li Jin began to recite the four scriptures silently in his heart, writing down all the sentences where "two" appeared.

After all, this was his first day of the exam. If he skipped this question now and answered all the questions later, he would probably have to give up on this question.

Li Jin still remembers that when he was young in his previous life, the teachers always said, "Leave blanks if you don't know how to do it, and talk about it after you finish writing", but every time at the end, the difficult problem is blanked out.

At the beginning, it was to get more scores in the exam, so it was considered a stopgap measure.

But now, there are only seven questions in total. When the other six questions already have ideas, Li Jin still wants to figure out this question first. Otherwise, in the next two days, he may not be able to figure out what this question should be. How to answer.

After enumerating like this, time passed quickly, Li Jin's first plain paper was almost full before he listed the result he wanted——

In "The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan Pian No. 12", Duke Ai asked Yu Youruo... and said: "Second, I am still insufficient, so how thorough is this?" Confrontation: "The people are sufficient, which one is insufficient? The people are insufficient, Who is the king and the foot?"

This time, Li Jin didn't hesitate anymore, and confirmed that the 'two' in the exam questions came from this sentence, because in the entire Four Books, only the 'two' here is an independent sentence.

After finding the source of the question, the answer after that is very smooth.

By noon, when the weather was hot, Li Jin had already written two first drafts of stereotyped essays. He put his own writing aside and piled up the rest of the drafts.

At this time, Li Jin was also a little hungry. He took out the small iron pot he had prepared, asked the guard outside the door for a pot of water, divided two-thirds of the charcoal fire, and then set the rest on fire. Put the dry noodles that came.

After all, you have to stay here for three days, and the court also allows candidates to bring a pot to cook by themselves.

Although you can cook it yourself, there is only one pot of charcoal fire, and it will not be replenished when it is used up. Cooking porridge is a waste of time and consumes charcoal fire.

Before the exam, he didn't know how much the charcoal fire would be and how long it would last, so Li Jin decided to be on the safe side and bring some easy-to-cook things.

This dry noodle cake is actually made by pressing gnocchi into sheets, then cutting them into strips and drying them.

Many stores in front of Qiuwei were selling them, so Li Jin followed the crowd and bought some.

But he also brought some potatoes and Chinese cabbage, and the potatoes could be roasted in the charcoal basin while he was cooking the soup, and when they were roasted, they could be used for supper.

The Chinese cabbage is put directly in the soup, and when the heat of the pot cools down, eat it directly with the pot.

There is no way, Qiu Wei requires that each person can only carry one cooking utensil for rice, and they cannot bring bowls with them.

Li Jin calculated the time, and it took about 10 minutes to boil the water and cook the noodles. The charcoal fire in the basin had already turned ashes, obviously it was almost used up.

He thought, fortunately he had allocated more than half of the food in advance, and fortunately he did not bring rice, otherwise he would have to eat cold water on the last day.

There is nothing wrong with eating cold rice, but cold water can easily cause physical discomfort.There are still two games and six days left, and the body must hold on.

After eating, the sun was too high, there were many gaps in the door panels, and the thatched roof above his head absorbed heat, Li Jin was sweating all over his head.A little drowsy.

During this period of time, he did not write a policy discussion, but copied the two answers written in the morning.

Fortunately, the hot weather didn't affect the grip of the pen. In addition, when Li Jin practiced with Mr. Pang, he survived the severe winter and heat.

At that time, Li Jin was thinking that if he was placed in the county and hospital examinations at that time, his hands would not be so stiff that he dared not write easily.

Li Jin's current calligraphy has infinitely approached the pavilion style. In this era, there is no pavilion style. When Mr. Pang saw Li Jin's regular script, he couldn't help but praise a few words——

"Beautiful, tidy, without losing character."

Rules, strong character but not sharp, this is probably the favorite of the high-ranking people.
