Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 69 Daming County Examination
"Anyway, there is still more than a month. Don't delay. I will read more and memorize it. It's not a problem. I won't pass the exam. Come back next year or the year after!"

Qin Shao said indifferently.

Seeing that the kid didn't care, the old man Zhu was relieved.

I think that when they took the exam back then, each of them was like an enemy, and they paid great attention to it.

It's good or bad that this kid doesn't care so much.

The good thing is that you have a good attitude and don't get nervous. Many students usually study well, but once they take the exam, they will stretch their hips.

The reason is bad mentality.

The bad thing is that he is worried that this kid doesn't care too much, and it's easy not to study hard.

With his character, it's good to let him sign up.

A bad test can also make him realize his own shortcomings, let go of his contempt, and study hard in the future.

……

Under the guidance of the old man Zhu, Qin Shao found a granary student in the county and paid 3 taels of silver. They checked his birth information and automatically helped find four people to sign mutual insurance policies with him.

Just like looking for an intermediary in the previous life, as long as the money is paid and the conditions are met, everything will be settled quickly.

The next thing to do is the final sprint study.

A few days ago, Qin Shao had already recited 13 of the 10 books that were to be tested, and quickly finished the remaining three in two days.

The rest of the day was spent silently writing those books.

His memory and comprehension are really outstanding now, as long as he memorizes it with his heart, he will basically never forget it.

Those traditional Chinese characters that I found difficult before have become very proficient after practicing and memorizing these days.

Although his calligraphy is not very good, fortunately, he used to practice regular script calligraphy, which is neat and legible.

The only weakness is writing poems and essays. Composition is not bad. Anyway, I express opinions and discussions in combination with the Four Books and Five Classics, and pay attention to the format.

Writing poetry is a little difficult for him, you must know that they did not learn the skill of writing poetry in the previous life.

At most, I just recite some poems.

He had to let the old man Zhu teach himself how to write poems, and then he could make a better painting.

Then came another piece of bad news.

That is, the subject of arithmetic, which he is good at, does not participate in the children's test.

It turns out that although the subject of arithmetic existed in the previous dynasties, it was abolished several times in the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, when it came to Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, the emperor was uncertain.

One day I didn't know why, and I heard that the previous court was taking an arithmetic test, so I asked him to join it.

It's cloudy enough!

I wish the old man was not very happy, he spent a lot of time studying this subject.

You must know that he is old, and mathematics, which uses brains, is a bit difficult for him.

It's hard to get enough of it, so I won't take the test again!

Qin Shao is not happy either!

Many people in Ming Dynasty are not very good at mathematics, and he still wants to surpass others in this subject!

Now it seems that this advantage is gone!
But time is urgent, and he doesn't have time to think about those.

He now has to practice how to write poetry every day, and he writes so badly.

The old man Zhu asked him questions several times, and after holding back for a long time, he finally came up with a poem. The old man Zhu said that what he made was doggerel, not shit.

The old man was so angry that he uttered bad words.

Review and recite the books that you need to rely on, and review the excellent test papers of the county exams from previous years, and write a few poems every day to let the old man derogate.

After more than a month of tossing and tossing like this, the day of the county examination finally ushered in.

During this period, the sweet potatoes on the other side of the field have grown, the corn on the cob can be eaten, and the edamame can be boiled.

These were brought back by Wang Yin and the others, and I heard that they grew very well.

Qin Shao went to visit the field several times, but was stopped by the old man Zhu because he wanted to take the exam.

For this county exam, Qin Shao basically spent the month at the old man's house except for sleeping.

Fortunately, it's only a month. If it takes N years at once like the old man Zhu, he feels that he is almost depressed.

The county examination is held in the county and has a special venue.

Fortunately, it was not too far from home, and many candidates from the countryside went to the city to find a hotel two days in advance.

The big and small inns in Jingshan are overcrowded.

The ancients were not stupid. Some nearby residents saw that some students had no place to live, so they also invited students to live in their own homes to earn pocket money.

Qin Shao lamented that he was lucky to buy a house in Jingshan County, where he could live comfortably in his own home.

In his previous life, he heard that the ancient imperial examination had to be taken for several days, and he had to eat and drink in the examination room. Thinking about it, he really couldn't bear it.

After listening to the old man Zhu's explanation, I realized that the county test and the government test are not used. Although there are four exams, you can go back on the same day after the exam and continue the exam the next day.

It’s not easy to take a small county test for four days, but it’s still bearable when you think about not having to stay in the same room with shit.

On the day of the exam, Han Jinrong cooked a meal before dawn. They ate a good meal and sent Qin Shao to the exam room.

The old man Zhu also came out, and Qin Shao greeted him and told him to go back, saying that he would look for him after the exam.

It was just dawn, and many people had already gathered near the examination room.

Today, there are nearly 400 people who participated in the county examination in the county, which is more than before.

Although some people bought conditions and gave up studying because of the thieves, but because the county examination was stopped last year, the candidates for the two sessions gathered until this year.

There are also re-examination students who have not passed the exam in previous years, resulting in the largest number of students this year.

No wonder the old man Zhu persuaded himself to give up this time. After all, this exam has the largest number of people and the fiercest competition.

But if you have already signed up, you will naturally have to blog once.

Entering the entrance, there are soldiers guarding the inspection.

Qin Shao handed over his documents and test cards to a soldier for inspection, then opened the bookcase for the soldiers on the other side to check.

What's in the bookcase is actually quite simple:
Ink ingots, pen holders, pen holders, inkstones, flints, candles, two towels, fragrant oil buns wrapped in oiled paper, and water bags filled with water.

Because the exam starts early, and perhaps because of the gloomy weather, taking the exam in Daming requires not only food and drink, but also candles for lighting.

After the soldier verified that it was him, he checked his belongings and began a body search.

It is not as exaggerated as in previous life legends, such as taking off clothes and so on.

Although the weather in September is cool, it is still very hot at noon, and few people wear clothes.

Just reach out and take a picture to see if there is a cheat sheet or handwriting on the arm on the clothes, and that's it.

After the inspection, Qin Shao can finally enter the arena.

Although it is not as exaggerated as described in the TV series of the previous life, it is not easy.

The oil buns I took were opened for inspection, and I don't know if the soldier washed his hands.

Thinking about the special period, I survived all the hardships when I was fleeing, and I am not so hypocritical now. In short, seeing is not seeing!

After all the candidates have passed the inspection, they stand on the field and wait.

Qin Shao saw county magistrate Lu Lianxian, county magistrate Qin Wenbin, Lu Zhubo and other officials appearing one after another.

They picked up incense sticks and offered incense to the sage Confucius, and after the end, Lin Jiaoyu read out the rules of the examination room on the spot.

Qin Shao felt drowsy after listening to it, and finally finished reading it!
Lu Lianxian gave an order: start the exam!
Candidates began to enter the examination room one after another.

Qin Shao found his room number based on his test card.

The number rooms are connected together in rows, except for a wooden board as a table and a chair inside, there is nothing, just like a pigsty!
Yes, Qin Shao remembered that when he visited a pig farm in his previous life, it was similar to this.

Lifting the wooden board, Qin Shao entered the number room. There was not much space inside, so he could just turn around.

Fortunately, what I ate was not fat, and I was able to enter it with ease.

A fat man was just across from him, and he entered at a slant, almost unable to turn around.

Qin Shao couldn't help laughing out loud, but the man gave him a sideways look.
