prosperous age

Chapter 70

The Jiujiang Mansion Examination Institute was built according to the standards of the Gongyuan, surrounded by tall walls, and it is said that the inside was built according to the test sheds, and the small test sheds are the places where the candidates answer their papers.

Although the examination hall is a bit rough and the place is small, after all, Jiujiang prefecture doesn't have so many candidates to take the exam, but building such an exam hall is to prevent the province's academic officials from coming here to hold a college exam.

The hospital examination does not specify the examination location, which is different from the township examination and general examination, and it will not be as random as the county examination.

Although most of the college examinations in Jiangxi Province are held in the provincial capital Nanchang Gongyuan, the academic officer can also take the exam in a certain prefecture below.

In fact, most of the college exams are taken separately by prefecture. After all, the number of children accumulated over the years is still relatively large, and they are all in the province. The transportation is easy to talk about, so there are really too many candidates for each college exam.

The college exam is divided into several exams, which actually doesn’t matter to the candidates. After all, the scholar’s ​​fame is distributed according to the region, not based on your composition level. As long as you surpass the local candidates, you can pass the college exam to get the qualification of “student”.

Of course, Wei Guangde and the others brought in a few candidates from Pengze County along the way. They all met at the wine table, so they naturally wanted to make it easier, but they didn't see Zeng Yuanrui, and they didn't know where he was squeezed into the corner. went.

At a quarter of an hour, the gate of the examination hall opened, and the examinees, under the command of the yamen servants in front of the gate, divided them into several columns according to the admission ticket, that is, the examination invitation, and could only enter the gate after being searched.

This time Wei Guangde did not mention the test basket, after all, it was a government test, and all the things needed in the test room were provided by the government, but Wei Guangde was still embarrassed when he entered the gate. The curtain hanging behind the gate was the place to be searched.

The gate is the initial inspection. When you arrive here, you have to take off your clothes, pants, shoes and hats for inspection. This is to prevent people from bringing things in their clothes.

Fortunately, he was inspected in his underwear, and the weather in April was not too cold, but it was acceptable to take off his coat, and he didn't search for the soldiers to tease Wei Guangde's little birds.

Wei Guangde, who came out from behind the curtain, was considered to have completed the search work. A small official looked at his admission ticket and pointed him to the location of the examination room.

Fortunately, Wu Dong had mentioned these procedures to him before, so it didn't affect Wei Guangde's mood for the exam.

I heard that the same is true for the search and pick-up of the hospital examination and the township examination, but there are not so many things in the county examination.

Sitting in my own test room, the test room is very small, with only a table and chairs, walls on three sides, and no door on the front, just so wide open.

Soon someone brought the things used in the examination room, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the answer sheet. As for the examination questions, there was still a wait. It should be carried out after all the candidates entered the room.

Sitting there, Wei Guangde was not in a hurry, first poured water into the inkstone and began to grind it lightly, the preparation work must be done well.

The rules of the government test are actually similar to the county test. There are three exams in a row, including four books, five classics, eight-legged essays, and poems. If you pass the main exam, you will pass the government exam.

Naturally, Wei Guangde's small calculation is to go directly to the main field, and not to take the exam later, to save his luck and continue to use it in the courtyard exam.

Yes, Wei Guangde has already realized that he has the aura of a protagonist, the feeling of being a child of luck, but he is not sure yet, after all there are still several exams to come, and he does not know how many times his aura can bless him.

After the county test, this time Wei Guangde came to participate in the government test, and heard from his cousin that Tang Xianzun once asked him about himself. It was only after the county examination that I mentioned it when I met Wu Dong by chance.

Regardless of whether there was such a thing or not, since everyone opened their mouths, Wu Dong immediately offered some benefits.

The examination questions for this government examination were announced soon afterward. It is not far from the county examination. There are still two questions about the Four Books, one question about the Five Classics, and one poem for the test post. , but also to explain its meaning.

As for dictation and explanation, this is Wei Guangde's strong point. Our test depends on his excellent memory, otherwise Wei Guangde would have learned how to be a Zhuangtou at home, the morals and cultivation of the Zhuangtou.

However, Wei Guangde was shocked when he saw the exam questions.

Three stereotyped essays, it’s not a big deal to finish them in one day, after all, you have a good foundation, but one of the questions in the government examination this time is a fucking interception question, which Wei Guangde has never done before.

After looking at a few other topics, there is no problem, and the ones that are a little more brain-burning are the test post poems.

As for the interception question, Wei Guangde intends to let it go.

It is necessary to do it. If you can’t answer all the questions, what kind of government test will you take? However, this question is indeed a bit difficult.

"Knock his shins with a staff."

These are two passages in "The Analects of Confucius". The original sentence of the first sentence "knocking his shin with a stick" is "in the original land, the son of a Yi is said to be young, but his grandson is not elder brother, but there is no saying that he is old and not dead. its shin."

It means that Yuan Rang sat with his legs spread apart and waited for Confucius.Confucius said: "When you were young, you were disrespectful and disrespectful to your elder brother. When you grow up, you have nothing to praise. If you are old, you will not die. You are really a harmful person." After speaking, he struck his calf with his cane.

The original sentence of the latter sentence "Que Party Boy" is "Que Party Boy will order, or ask him for benefit, and the son said, I see that he is in the position, and I see that he is parallel with his husband, and he is not a person who seeks benefits or a quick success." , just talking about the meaning of the test questions, that is, a boy of the Kan Party.

In fact, there are many classifications of interception questions. According to the length of the topic, it is divided into long and short, and according to whether the topic is related, there are sentimental and ruthless. Of course, there are other classifications, but as far as Wei Guangde has seen so far This question is a ruthless one.

Hit the calf with a cane, a boy of the Kan party.
Well, Wei Guangde put aside this troublesome question first, and copied the two stereotyped essays he was familiar with. This time, he directly copied the answer sheet, and there was no time to write a draft.

After copying two stereotyped essays, Wei Guangde also wrote the Four Books and Five Classics written silently. Finally, he copied them mechanically and finished the test poems during the lunch distribution. Wei Guangde didn't have time to go to the latrine all morning.

Fortunately, there is still an afternoon to deal with that ruthless interception question.

After lunch, Wei Guangde first checked all the questions he did in the morning. Up to now, he has not thought of a way to solve the questions, so he should check the questions that have been done carefully to ensure that there are no mistakes.

So far, Wei Guangde still thinks that stereotyped essays are really difficult to write, it’s too brain-intensive, and it’s not as simple as opening the "play" or just doing it.
