The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 355
After Zhao Gou handed in the answer sheet, he turned around and left, ignoring everyone's gaze, he really didn't want to stay in the numbered room.Not only does it feel that the freedom of life is restricted, like being in a prison, but also the stench coming from the number room is really uncomfortable.

Because of the three consecutive days of the exam, eating, drinking, and sleeping in the numbered room, no matter how badly you are holding back, it is impossible to hold it all the time, there will always be times when you are proud.If it's small, it's just a foul smell, but if it's big, it's just stinky, how can it be a place for people to stay.

Not to mention staying for three days, Zhao Gou couldn't bear it even if he stayed for one day. If he continued to stay, he might not be able to eat, sleep well, and endure the stench to take the exam. It would be strange if he passed the exam; If you are not in the state, how can you think.

Zhao Gou's luck was really unlucky, if it wasn't for this place being a No. [-] room, and he was a literati with no power to restrain a chicken, if he had taken the No. [-] Martial Arts Examination, he would have thrown him out.Because the comrade next to him didn't know what he ate, he started pulling at noon and never stopped.

The most terrible thing was the stench, which almost made Zhao Gou faint.Zhao Gou cursed secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, so he had to speed up the answer in his hand and try to get out as soon as possible, it was really unbearable.

It was not until this time that Zhao Gou really saw the scene of the ancient imperial examinations.

In order to obtain fame and fame, one must endure things that ordinary people can't bear. It really proves a passage of Mencius's saying: "Therefore, when heaven will send a great mission to a human being, he must first suffer from his will, work his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and cut him down empty-handed." His body behavior and behavior don't interfere with what he does, so he moved his heart and tolerance, and benefited what he couldn't do."

Zhao Gou admired those scholars and literati who obtained fame through examinations. Such a stench was really unbearable.If it wasn't for him holding his breath, concentrating, not thinking about anything else, and answering with all his heart, he would probably spit it out, and a bad smell would sweep over him if he didn't pay attention.

He really doubted whether that comrade had eaten too much, or was full. He was really angry, but he had nowhere to vent, so he had to endure it all the time, suppressing the anger in his heart.If someone got annoyed at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and walk around, because Zhao Gou still has a sour taste in his stomach and always feels a strange smell on his body, so he turned around and left without staying for a moment.

"This examinee is really rude!" Examiner Zhang frowned and moaned indignantly.

Zhao Gou left in a hurry, didn't care about etiquette at all, and left in a hurry without saying hello or shouting, which left a very low impression on examiner Zhang.Even Da Song paid great attention to respecting teachers, leaving a good impression on the examiners, which is also helpful for marking papers.

"Master Zhang, did he really answer it?" Hu Anguo held the answer sheet handed in by Zhao Gou, and instead of looking through it immediately, he asked Master Zhang. He really didn't believe that someone was so quick, and he felt a little disbelieving in his heart, but his eyes were full of disbelief. Some shock.

Mr. Zhang replied: "Mr. Wu Yi, the examinee has already completed his answer sheet. Mr. Zhang checked it carefully, and there is indeed nothing missing, and all the answers are filled. In addition, this person is too rude. He actually read the answer before leaving. They didn’t look the same, turned around and left, it’s really abominable, I’m afraid that answering the paper is also hasty!”

Hu Anguo was stunned for a while, and didn't even hear Mr. Zhang's complaints behind him. He thought to himself: "He really finished the answer? Even if he had the answer, he couldn't be so fast. Could it be that someone did it on his behalf? It's just that there was no answer during the search." Anything he carried, and he was indeed writing, without any chance of cheating, could it be that he wrote the answer sheet alone? If this is true, then..."

At this time, Hu Anguo was full of thoughts about how Zhao Gou finished the test so quickly, and there was not a single omission, which is simply impossible.The first feeling is that Zhao Gou is cheating, even if he writes wholeheartedly, it is impossible to write so fast, only cheating will be done without thinking.

However, he thought about it again and thought it was impossible.After all, these test questions were not thought out in advance, but were selected last night, and he personally selected them.If it was really cheating, no one could predict it, so it was denied.

"Mr. Wuyi! Mr. Wuyi!..." Mr. Zhang saw that Hu Anguo ignored him, his eyes were blank, and he looked dumbfounded, so he not only shouted a few times.

"Oh!" It took Hu Anguo a long time to come back to his senses. Seeing Mr. Zhang's surprised gaze again, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, when you finished collecting the answer sheet, did you see how this candidate answered?"

"This..." Immediately, Mr. Zhang was embarrassed. He was annoyed by Zhao Gou's impolite behavior, and forgot his responsibility for a while, that is, did he read it carefully.To be honest, he really didn't, he hesitated and replied: "No...no!"

After hearing this, Hu Anguo was neither angry nor blamed, and said eagerly, "Then how about we take a closer look?"

So Master Zhang and Hu Anguo carefully read the test paper Zhao Gou answered.However, they certainly didn't see the same thing, and it was impossible to read them all.After all, Hu Anguo is the chief examiner, and everything is up to him.

Hu Anguo read "Spring and Autumn" because he was studying this subject, so he chose his field of expertise; Mr. Zhang chose to read "The Analects of Confucius" because he was also the teacher who taught this course. It is the most seen.

Hu Anguo and Mr. Zhang read Zhao Gou's test paper three times, and it was the same test paper, without changing other test papers.Half an hour later, both of them raised their heads, looked at each other, and stared at each other dumbfoundedly.

Hu Anguo understood the shock in Mr. Zhang's eyes; Mr. Zhang could clearly see the astonishment in Hu Anguo's eyes. Both of them were deeply attracted by Zhao Gou's literary talent.Whether it is the words of the answer or the way to start, it is just right, there is no hindrance from the beginning to the end, and it is very smooth.

"It's really a good article!" Mr. Zhang praised sincerely. The content of Zhao Gou's answer was almost the same as what he thought, and there were more profound truths in it. It actually included the way of governing the country. The pen is really a good article, without any subjective consciousness, a completely objective evaluation.

Hu Anguo is also stupid, he is a scholar, and he also studies "Spring and Autumn".However, after reading the article written by Zhao Gou, Hu Anguo also had to appreciate it, which is quite a bit of a master's style. It can be seen that Zhao Gou did not answer the paper randomly, but answered it wholeheartedly.

"It's really a great talent!" Hu Anguo exclaimed heartily.

Until then, the attitudes of Hu Anguo and Master Zhang towards Zhao Gou suddenly changed. It was no longer subjectively thinking that Zhao Gou answered indiscriminately, but seeing them differently.Not only the fastest answering speed set by Zhao Gou, but also a good writing, even the two of them praised it, which shows that Zhao Gou's writing skills are not weak, and he is really well-read.
