The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 8 Brother's test is not an exam, but loneliness!
After entering the door, there is a long search passage. Because the search is extremely strict and time-consuming, many candidates are squatting in the corner to rest, waiting for the search personnel to call their names.

Lin Nuo was lucky. After the candidates from Nanchang Mansion finished their inspection, it was their turn to Jianchang Mansion. Unlike other candidates, they had to wait for a long time.

The inspection of the imperial examination was much stricter than the college entrance examination in later generations. Even though Lin Nuo had already prepared in his heart, he still felt very uncomfortable.

He and nine other candidates were arranged to stand in front of a wall. A group of soldiers came forward and took off their coats, leaving only the underwear inside. Starting from the first candidate, they carefully Clothes and even various parts of the body were searched.

Even the socks, neckline, or hair are no exceptions, and they are all checked from top to bottom.

Not only that, but after inspecting the person, the soldiers also had to check the contents of the package and the bookcase. Even the steamed buns they ate, the soldiers would break them apart piece by piece to see if there was any cheat sheet inside.

During the whole period, the inspecting soldiers didn't speak a word, nor did they have any expression changes. They were like robots, carrying out rigid and strict inspections.

On the contrary, the examinees around him sighed and complained "disgraceful" from time to time, but in any case, this is a hurdle that must be passed on the way of the imperial examination. Even Lin Nuo had to grit his teeth when he saw this scene Accepted, waiting for the upcoming inspection.

The imperial examination is the only way for common people to be promoted. This way may not be easy, but it is the only fair way in the Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent cheating, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also took great pains and spent a lot of money. thought.

Since the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, a strict punishment system for cheating has been formulated. Candidates who are found to be cheating must be "shackled" outside the examination room for a month, and their student status will be cancelled.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and he had a natural aversion to officials, and his attitude towards officials was extremely harsh, and he was executed and exiled at every turn.

But he is very good to ordinary people. In his opinion, those candidates who are about to take the imperial examination are all future officials. If even being an official needs to be obtained by cheating, how can we be a person who is dedicated to serving the people in the future? Parents officer?
In this regard, Lao Zhu's cheating punishment measures have been repeatedly severe, like a knife hanging over the heads of those dishonest candidates, so that they will stop, so as not to be an official in the future and harm the people!

But even so, the temptation to be an official is too strong. No matter how strict the inspection is, some candidates will still take risks and do things that are entrained.

No, Lin Nuo and his party of ten people, when the soldiers checked the eighth person, they found a note from the opponent's writing brush holder!

Immediately, the inspectors shouted excitedly, and dragged out the cheaters who were looking for concubines, and searched out one cheater. Each of them could get a reward of three taels of silver, which was already worth their one month's salary. Salary paid.

Seeing this scene, other examinees who hadn't started the search all had gloomy faces, and they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts. Some examinees even took out a note from somewhere and stuffed it into their mouths, with a hideous look on their faces. Colored chewing.

Lin Nuo's expression was flat, and he didn't have a special reaction to this, quietly waiting for the next inspection of him.

The two soldiers who searched Lin Nuo had dark complexions and seemed to be depressed. With the keen perception of Lin Nuo warriors, they instantly felt that the two of them seemed to be poisoned.

When the two came to Lin Nuo, they first took a careful look at him, then lowered their heads, and began to look busy, but in fact, they didn't even touch Lin Nuo's body.

Lin Nuo was stunned for a moment, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

Faced with his doubts, one of the taller soldiers approached quietly, and whispered in Lin Nuo's ear: "Please, after the exam, sir, please say a few good words for us, and ask Madam to give the antidote Give it to us!"

So it turned out that Lin Nuo didn't expect Xue Xiuer to do so many things secretly in order not to lose face during the body search.

Thinking of this, a surge of heat surged in his heart, and he even wanted to renege on the three-year agreement.

If this kind of virtuous helper is just let go, it will be struck by a thunderbolt!
The two soldiers pretended to check, and after getting Lin Nuo's affirmative answer, they let him go.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Nuo walked through the door, took the test papers, and under the arrangement of the examiner, he passed through the densely packed dormitories and came to his own dormitory.

Luckily, his own dormitory was well-repaired. Lin Nuo first took a careful look and found no gaps in the roof, so he didn't have to worry about rain leakage before putting down the test box and putting the test paper on the desk.

He didn't start answering the questions directly, but cleaned up first. After cleaning up, he even lit a fire to cook. He heated up the meal prepared by Re Xiu'er. After eating three steamed buns, he sat down at the desk contentedly.

The exam lasted for three days. As other candidates, it took me a long time. After eating, I would definitely take a nap to refresh myself. , and the spirit is better than the vast majority of candidates.

There are seven questions in the examination paper, three questions are from the Four Books, and the remaining four questions are from the Five Classics. A total of seven articles are required.

The imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not give candidates too much freedom to play, but were well-regulated and strictly standardized eight-legged essays.

The test questions will give a certain passage from the Four Books and Five Classics, and then the candidates will be asked to give an extended answer, and the answers they answer are actually similar.

This kind of test does not test whether the examinee has a unique personal understanding, but the amount of reading and memory. If you don't read a lot and don't remember enough, it is easy to make mistakes, and it is even easy to figure out which book the test questions come from. Mix, let alone answer the question.

In this regard, Lin Nuo felt a little relaxed. It might be difficult for him to interpret the other meanings of those sage books, but this kind of test that tests memory and reading is perfect for him.

After carefully reviewing the questions, Lin Nuo devoted himself to answering the questions. His answers were not particular about novelty, but rather well-regulated. He cited classics and the writing was very rigorous. It might not impress the examiners, but it could show his own The advantages of a large amount of reading, accurate memory and no mistakes.

It may be impossible to win the No.1 Jieyuan, but it should not be a big problem to win the Juren!
After all, it is an stereotyped essay that mainly suppresses personal thoughts. If even someone with a super memory like him can't win the exam, then Lin Nuo has to consider going to the examiner's house to have a good chat in the middle of the night!
