Chapter 43
But when he thought of his mother and grandma outside the examination room, Yunji was full of motivation.

Ever since his father passed away, Yunji has become more and more aware that only by studying and becoming an official can his mother and grandma avoid gossip.Only by standing taller can you protect the people you want to protect.

Mother doesn't like Mr. Xi teaching herself some conspiracy theories, but it doesn't mean that he won't take the initiative to learn.For the sake of his mother and grandma, he must work hard to fight for it.It can not only satisfy the wishes of mothers, but also protect them, the best of both worlds, why not do it?
Li Qing didn't know that his son was not as innocent as he appeared on the surface, if he knew, he would probably vomit blood.

About half an hour later, the gate of the county examination was officially closed, and all late candidates were not allowed to enter the examination room, and the examination room was almost full of people.

After counting the number of people one by one, the exam officially started.

When the county magistrate was counting the number of people below, he had already written the topic on paper, and then someone quickly copied it in multiple copies, and then passed it on one by one.

It is impossible to pass the test questions loudly in hundreds of test booths, and this is the only way to do it.

When it was Yun's turn, he read the topic carefully and wrote it down on paper.

Many people think that they memorize the test questions, but they don't copy them down in time. As a result, they lose important information because of panic.The result of this is to allow a second look.

Yun Ji was not in a hurry. After carefully reading the questions on the draft paper, he began to pour water and rub the ink. After grinding for about a quarter of an hour, Yun Ji took the brush and ink to write the answer on the side of the draft paper.The questions in the county test are very simple, and they mainly test some things that are memorized by rote.

For example, the first question is: "The way of great learning... is the shortest way." ("Book of Rites University"), the second question "The filial son said: The foundation of husband's filial piety... Wunian Erzu, Yuxiu Jue Germany". ("Book of Filial Piety") Yunji only needs to fill in the gaps in the middle, which is the so-called sticking scriptures.

All of today's questions are like this, and tomorrow's question type will change, and it should be mixed with Mo Yi's content.But that's not what Yunji should care about, he has to concentrate on what's in front of him now.

Master Chi said that everything in the examination room must be carefully protected to preserve its integrity, so Yun Ji was extra careful when writing.It took about two hours for Yunji to write all the answers on the draft paper.

It was almost noon at this time, and Yunji was a little hungry, so he put down his pen, picked up a stone from the ground, and pressed it down on the test paper.Only then did he pick up the test basket on the side. Inside the paper bag was the food Li Qing prepared for him, two breads, two steamed buns, and fried pickles.

Yunji picked up the steamed buns and sat on a chair with pickles, eating them in an orderly manner.His eyes had drifted to other places.

Opposite him sat a man with a hairpin in the test room. He looked like he was in his twenties. He must have been tired from writing and was sitting and resting.As if sensing that someone was looking at him, the man raised his head and met Yunji's eyes.

A flash of surprise flashed in the man's heart, this is still a milk baby, why did he come to take part in the scientific examination? God! Which village is it from? Such a monster.

All the small actions of Yunji and the man fell into the eyes of the invigilator.Firstly, the two of them had never cheated, and secondly, they were harmless, so the invigilators turned a blind eye.

The man lowered his head and curled his lips, so what age?Did you just finish reading the required readings required by the scientific examination? Even those who came out of the mother's womb couldn't do it so quickly!I still concentrate on answering my questions to avoid mistakes.

The two of them stopped paying attention to each other, and Yunji finished eating the steamed buns, drank water and ate a piece of bread and was full.Yunji also noticed that the oblique person was an old man, probably in his fifties, with gray temples and patches on his clothes. He looked very poor.

He was writing slowly, and the pen in his hand was already cracked and a little broken. Yun Ji looked at it for a while and stopped paying attention.

Now he has to put all his energy into copying the test papers, not only writing the answers, but also writing the questions.

After arranging the papers, he calmed down, this is the method his mother told him, and he followed it.

Pick up the pen and ink, and write each word on the paper.Mr. Chu often guides Yunji's handwriting. Mr. Hu's handwriting has a bit of his own style. He absorbed the essence from official script and softened it into regular script.This is why Yunji has inherited some of this, but he doesn't reveal it too much. When he was at home, Li Qing gave some guidance to Yunji's calligraphy. Both of them have their own strengths, and Yunji silently absorbed them.

Finally, before the sun was setting, Yun Ji completed all the questions.

Then he checked it carefully and thought that there was nothing wrong, so he rang the bell of his examination booth.

After the test papers were taken away by the invigilator, he lifted his test basket and walked out of the test booth.

Yunji wasn't the first to come out, but he wasn't the last either.The time for the exam has not yet arrived, and all the candidates are not allowed to go out, and those who handed in the papers in front are waiting at the door.

Because of his young age, Yun Ji was the shortest among the candidates who came out.Everyone was a little curious. This little radish, who came to take the exam at such a young age, probably hasn't read the four books!
Those twelve or thirteen-year-olds thought they were the youngest, but they didn't expect that there were others who were younger than them. While feeling uncomfortable, they also had reflections on themselves.Why can others take the scientific examination when they are still babies? I haven't made any progress yet.

Although Yunji is young, he has a delicate mind and has already noticed this, so he doesn't want to get in touch with him too much.He automatically retreated to a corner with his basket in his hand, quietly waiting for the exam to end.

When you are not strong enough, you must behave in a low-key manner and do not attract attention.A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, Yunji understands this truth, this is a lesson learned from the last fight.

What happened last time, my mother and grandma solved it for me.If the next time something bad happens and mother and grandma can't solve it, won't they be implicated? Yunji never dares to imagine.

Mrs. Jiang dragged Li Qing to the gate of the County Examination Institute early in anticipation.When Li Qing saw Jiang's appearance, he could use four words to describe it, it was hopeless.

I feel that what my mother has done is a failure, but it is not as vivid as my grandma's love.

Li Qing is willing to self-criticize for three seconds.

Finally the bell rang for the end of the exam, and the door was about to open.A group of tall, short, fat, thin, young and old students came out of it.

While walking, he yelled about the topic this time.

"Damn it, I didn't think of that "Mencius" article. After it came out, it appeared in my mind again. Are you saying it's annoying?"

"I also have a question that I didn't write, it's in the "Doctrine of the Mean", and I can't remember it now." The speaker was quite discouraged, as if he didn't do well in the exam this time.

"You can't remember what it is. I did something stupid. I missed the question. I didn't find out until I finished the check, so I had to write it."
