A few months before the exam, Li Jin kept making sure that she would bathe with cold water at home, in order to get used to the imperial examination system.

At any rate, he came here through time travel, and he had heard that many exam students froze to death in the exam room.

Among them, Qiu Wei had the most people freeze to death. After all, Qiu Wei had a total of nine days of exams, three days per session, and three consecutive exams.You have to rest in the No. [-] room at night. There are no bedding and thick cotton clothes. People with poor physical fitness may really have accidents.

Of course, Li Jin thought, washing with Qin Muwen doesn't count.How could he be willing to let Fu Lang take a cold shower with him.

In fact, candidates who participated in the imperial examination know that the county examination in February is very cold.So they will also take various measures, such as drinking medicine, wearing thin cotton clothes in advance to 'simulate the examination room environment' in the study.

Drinking medicine is not painful or itchy, and most people will drink decoctions to dispel cold.

But wearing thin cotton clothes in advance to suffer from the cold, most people can't hold on.Their family members are also worried that doing so in advance will directly freeze the candidates and prevent them from taking the exam.

Li Jin stood there for a while, and when he walked over, the heat generated by the exercise was about to dissipate.Thin cotton coats can't resist the cold at all. When the wind blows, it seems to blow directly on the human skin, taking away the remaining temperature.

But he still carried the bamboo basket and calmly endured the cold.

After a while, when the county magistrate began to roll the roll, Li Jin even heard the cold teeth chattering of the man in front of him, but that man also held back.

For the imperial examination and fame, everyone went all out.

"Hongyan Village, Li Jin."

Li Jin stepped out and walked towards the north gate according to the rules.

One person took the bamboo basket in his hand and checked his pen, ink and food. Because an exam lasted for a whole day, each person could bring two steamed buns for lunch, but no other food.

These requirements were announced last month on the list.

The bamboo basket quickly disappeared from Li Jin's sight, while he himself took off his thin jacket, opened his hands, and one person searched the body, while the other checked whether there was any tape in the cotton-padded jacket.

Li Jin's side was being carefully inspected, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Yongle Village, Sun Shan, found entrainment in the steamed bun!"

Li Jin was taken aback, the person who checked him had already returned his cotton coat and bamboo basket.

When he put on the cotton-padded jacket again, he found that the cotton-padded jacket was still warm.The commotion next to it didn't last long, and soon someone dragged away the carrying test. As for how to punish, no one knew.

Because of Sun Shan's incident, there were a few people who hadn't come for the exam, their faces were as white as paper, and their legs were shaking like chaff. But at this time, no one dared to run away, so they could only bite the bullet and check.

Sure enough, some of these people found entrainment in the cotton wool of the cotton clothes, and some directly wrote the small copy on the clothes.

In the end, without exception, all of them were dragged away, no matter how much they cried and begged for mercy, it was useless.

There was nothing wrong with Li Jin, another person led him into Beiyuan and stood in line behind the magistrate.

Only then did Li Jin realize that his steamed bun had been torn apart, and he suddenly lost his appetite.

At noon, the county government seems to provide hot soup, so it's probably okay if you don't eat steamed buns, Li Jinru thought.

After everyone's roll call, everyone bowed to the county magistrate together, and then entered the lobby of the central hall to receive the answer sheet.

Originally, there was a link of singing the protection, but it is said that because of the war, there were too few talented people in the country, and His Majesty recruited talents, which simplified the county test.Therefore, in recent years, there are especially many people who have participated in the county examination.

But the difficulty of the topic remained unchanged.On the contrary, arithmetic has been added this year, which has caused headaches for many people.

Li Jin looked at the number on his test paper, 130 two.He found his seat, put the bamboo basket by his feet, and placed pens and inks on the table in turn.

By the time everyone was seated, the sky had changed from dark to bright.

Because of the large number of people taking the exam, the tables and chairs in the entire exam room are full of tables and chairs, and the sizes are not consistent. It seems that some of them were directly moved from the nearby private schools.

Fortunately, although Li Jin's table and chairs are old, there are no big holes on the table, which will not affect writing.

Li Jin had stood outside for a long time, his hands were cold, but according to the regulations, he was not allowed to make small movements in the examination room.He could only clenched his fists with both hands, then slowly released them, and repeated them in turn to regain his consciousness.

The people on tour beat the gong, announcing the official start of the exam.

After filling in the name, place of origin and test number, the government servant held the test question board and walked back and forth in the test room to ensure that everyone could see the test questions. [Note]

Li Jin first looked at his test paper, which was rice paper with red lines and horizontal grids. Each page had fourteen lines, and each line was required to write eighteen characters. [Note]

There are also two plain papers for drafting.

He thought of Mr. Song's explanation that the names and titles of the deceased and the current emperor must not be involved, otherwise it would be regarded as a crime.

Li Jin made up his mind, and the person who happened to be holding the exam questions on the board also came to him, and he picked up a pen and began to copy the exam questions.

This is the first game, also called the main game.The examination questions are relatively simple, two essays in four books and one poem in five characters and six rhymes, the total number of words should not exceed [-] words. [Note]

The test four-book essay is to use the eight-legged essay writing method to incorporate the four-book essays I have memorized to test whether the students have a solid foundation.

Ever since Li Jin entered the examination room, he had corrected his mentality, not caring about gains and losses, and his serious face showed seriousness.

After he finished copying the topic, he was not in a hurry to start writing. After thinking about it for about a stick of incense, he copied the core of the topic on the plain paper he drafted, and then used the "brainstorming mind map" he learned in his previous life to compose the "Four Books" "The parts related to the topic in the "Five Classics" are listed one by one.

In this way, writing eight-legged essays in a while can also justify itself.

Although stereotyped essays have strict requirements on mediocrity and format, the most important thing for an article to be written satisfactorily is to ask questions and solve them.

Or just sum it up in four words and justify yourself.

The main exam is relatively simple, and each stereotyped essay is at most [-] words.

Li Jin made a draft first, then modified the sentences before transcribing them.

When he finished writing the first test four essay, he wrote half of the second draft.It was already noon, and the yamen servants kept bringing in hot soup. If someone needed it, they could raise their hands, but no noise was allowed.

This hot soup does not charge money, Li Jin was surprised.

Having consumed too much brain power this morning and not wearing thick clothes, Li Jin felt that he needed a bowl of hot soup very much.

When the hot soup came, Li Jin was surprised to find that it was bone soup. Although the taste was very mild, it was much better than boiled water.

It can be seen that the country is peaceful and the people are safe now, and the government is quite rich.

But then again, the previous registration for the exam was [-] Wen, which probably included the cost of rice paper, tables and chairs, and hot soup.

Li Jin was hungry. Although he really didn't want to eat that steamed bun, but considering that there were four days of exams to come, he couldn't stop eating every day.

So enduring my obsession with cleanliness, I peeled the broken steamed buns and soaked them in hot soup.

The steamed buns that had been frozen hard were quickly soaked soft, and Li Jin felt his whole body warm up after eating a bowl.

After noon, there is still hot soup available, but there is a charge for it, [-] cents a bowl.

Chen Xiran sat obliquely in front of Li Jin. When Li Jin finished writing the second essay and only had one poem left, he saw Chen Xiran raised his hand and asked for another bowl of soup.

Li Jin wanted to remind him, but he couldn't make a sound at the moment, and could only watch him finish a bowl of soup.

Li Jin thought, there is only one day for each county test, so it is not allowed to go to the toilet, drink so much, and you will not be able to suffocate after the test is over.

Could it be that Li Jin didn't have the last test post poem, he has now found his own position in poetry.

The simple pastoral style that fits the farm life is very suitable for him.

But if the examiner likes the type with gorgeous rhetoric, he will not be popular like this.There's not much wrong with that though.

After Li Jin finished writing, he carefully checked the typo again.Then raise your hand and wait for someone to close the scroll.

He packed up his bamboo basket and had to sit upright in place until the last time to "discharge" before he could leave the examination room with the others.

In the county examination, the county magistrate, as the chief examiner, can only sit at the front and cannot inspect the students' test papers, lest he recognize some people's handwriting and deliberately give high marks.

Therefore, although the family backgrounds of the students taking the imperial examinations vary greatly, all the content and scores of the examinations are the fairest.

This is also the only way for poor scholars to get ahead.

Chen Xiran left the county office with Li Jin, and asked Li Jin to wait for him, while he clutched his stomach and ran to find the toilet.

Then I came back and swore: "I will never spend money on suffering again!"

In the second exam, the number of people was dozens less than that of the first exam.Many people came to line up before dawn, but were told that their handwriting was too ugly in the first round and they failed.Cannot take the second exam.

That is to say, the county magistrate screened the handwriting and answer sheets of all candidates overnight.

Naturally, I didn't have time to read the content carefully, otherwise these people would not be the only ones screened out.

Li Jin saw that most of these people were still young, so it was probably what Mr. Song called 'experience the atmosphere in advance'.

The second game is Zhaofu, also known as Chufu.There is not much difference in content from the first scene, but the poem has been changed to silently write about a hundred words of "Sacred Enlightenment".

The most stringent requirement is not to write, add or modify by mistake during the process of dictation.

The answer sheet is so small, it is impossible to give a new one, so if you accidentally make a mistake, it is tantamount to missing the third exam.

Even Li Jin, who is as calm as Li Jin, copied it on the plain paper first, and then copied it down carefully.

Because of the time delay, when Li Jin finished writing, it happened to be the time to collect the paper.He handed in the papers and went out with everyone.

At this time, several people turned pale and murmured, "It's over, I wrote a wrong line when I wrote silently..."

One of them was old, and his black hair was mixed with silver, and he burst into tears.

When entering the third exam, Li Jin saw the old man among the group of people whose name was not called.

Li Jin was still feeling in his heart that it was not easy for these people, but when he saw the test questions, there was only a sense of helplessness in his heart.

Because the first three questions in the third session are quite normal, they are nothing more than one scripture, one rhyme, and one test poem.

But the final dictation content is - dictation of the seventh sentence and No.11 sentence of the front field "Sacred Enlightenment".

Still can not typo can not be modified.

So before the fourth exam, dozens of people were screened out.

After the fourth round of the exam, the county magistrate sent someone to collect the answer sheets and announced that there would be a fifth round tomorrow, and the main exam would be mathematics.

This was within Li Jin's prediction range, but it was obvious that most people looked at a loss.

Why is there still math?Although this is required knowledge, it has not appeared in the test questions for several years!

The county magistrate obviously didn't come to discuss with everyone. After he announced it coldly, he asked someone to arrange the end of the meeting.
