lied to Kangxi

Chapter 19
On the day of the hospital examination, it was only the second watch, and Yuzhu got up early.While he was grooming, Wu Jiang and Han Shuang carefully checked the items in the test basket against the list they had made.

"Sable fur cloak, five writing brushes, three inkstones, ten boiled eggs, small stove, silver frost charcoal, medicine for diarrhea, Buddhist incense, cotton for ears..." Han Shuang and Wu Jiang checked three times in a row, and finally give up.

Longkodo and Li Si'er never showed up until Yuzhu boarded the car and left the house, probably because he was afraid of increasing his psychological pressure?

When the carriage arrived at the Shuntian Mansion Tribute Courtyard, the gate was already crowded with reference and test takers, at least 600 to [-] people.

When did there actually have so many bannermen who could read?

At the fourth quarter of Yinzheng, the sound of letter cannons was fired in the Shuntian Mansion Gongyuan, and candidates began to enter.

The order of admission of candidates has its own rules.According to the order of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han armies, the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria entered the field first, followed by the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, and so on.

Because the flag score was very high, the entrance was very early, Yuzhu took the big test basket carried by Wu Jiang, tidied up his clothes and hats, and strode towards the main entrance of the Gongyuan.

In order to prevent the candidates from cheating, the soldiers guarding the Gongyuan were all Eight Banners soldiers who had just been transferred from Jingzhou.

When it was Yuzhu's turn, the soldiers responsible for the inspection, no matter how old he was, shook off all his clothes, took off his shoes for inspection, and turned the test basket upside down.

Fortunately, the small stove brought by Yuzhu is specially made, and can be disassembled and assembled at will, otherwise, it would not be able to be used.

Finally, during the body search, Yu Zhu felt itchy and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't laugh." Mr. Qian, who led the team, yelled at Yu Zhu, "If you laugh again, get out."

It has to be said that even in the Bannerman's exam, the rules are still extremely strict.

After a careful inspection, Yu Zhu entered the Gong Yuan, and in a row of pen stickers waiting in full force, the resumes of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were confirmed, the identities of Zai Qi were checked, and several relatives in the side branches of the family were randomly checked. I got the number of the house number: No. 15 in the second row of the character A.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Yu Zhu successfully found the house.Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. The house in front of me is actually just a small pigeon cage.

The house is only four feet wide, and three sides are completely sealed with blue bricks, and the open side faces outside, without doors and windows.In the dormitory, there are two wooden boards, which can be used as a bed when folded together.When disassembled, one board acts as a desk and the other as a chair.

Other than that, there is nothing else in the house.

It was still very early, and it was freezing cold, shivering with cold.Yuzhu put the two wooden boards together, wrapped it tightly in a huge sable fur cloak, shrank to the corner of the wall, closed his eyes and meditated.

The entrance examination of candidates is quite time-consuming. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to recharge your batteries, when will you wait?
For exams in cold weather, you must bring something to keep out the cold, such as a fur cloak. This is the main point that Tang Bing specially instructed.

The reason is very simple, all the clothes made of cotton, linen and silk are easy to be entrained and will definitely be completely dismantled by the soldiers.

The fur cloak, as long as it is not interlayered, does not need to be taken apart, and it is also very warm, suitable for wrapping it up for sleeping.

I don't know how long it took, Yuzhu heard the sound of the letter cannon in a daze, and then the soldiers shouted in unison: "Lock the courtyard, lock the courtyard!"

According to the regulations, after the gate of the Gongyuan is locked, it is not allowed to open it halfway until the end of the exam.

Candidates are not allowed to leave without permission after entering the dormitory, and the examination questions are collected by the guarding soldiers and distributed to the candidates respectively.

Tixue Yushi led the examiners to pay homage to Confucius and went through a lot of tedious procedures before handing out the exam questions.

After seeing the exam questions clearly, Yuzhu couldn't help being slightly taken aback. Originally, he only needed to do one piece of the "Four Books" essay, but now he added a scripture title and a five-character six-rhyme poem.

However, Tang Bing had been prepared for a long time, and asked Yuzhu to write more than 200 five-character six-rhyme poems with different themes in advance, and after repeated revisions, he memorized them completely.

Tang Bing once said that there are always rules to follow in a formatted exam.Even if the bet is wrong, as long as you memorize it, you can always use it as a reference, right?

It is said that it is a one-day exam time, but for Yuzhu who has already prepared, it is simply enough.He could have repeatedly deliberated and revised it, typed countless drafts, and then copied it down in a formal manner.

Yuzhu is a veritable question-making machine. The questions he has done are piled up higher than people.

Different from government examinations and county examinations, in college examinations, when asking about imperial history or academic politics, you can't ask out of context, patchwork and uncommon questions.

Yuzhu soon thought of several old articles that had been carefully revised by Tang Bing. The titles were exactly the same, so just copy the original text.

Hey, this is the benefit of repeating mechanically brushing questions. I have practiced all kinds of questions.

Yuzhu has done all three topics of essays, scriptures and poems, and they are all model essays that have been carefully revised by Tang Bing, so Yuzhu is full of confidence in his heart.

As long as there are no common-sense mistakes when copying, it is a matter of course to be a scholar in the exam.As for the final ranking, Yuzhu didn't even think about it.

Yuzhu removed the door panel, set up a small stove, lit a fire, boiled a pot of boiling water in a small copper pot, first brewed a cup of fragrant tea, and then threw the boiled eggs into it.

In the test basket, the snacks that were originally delicious in color and fragrance were crushed into crumbs by the soldiers, and they could no longer be eaten.

Fortunately, Yuzhu prepared in advance, two handfuls of noodles, a handful of green vegetables, and two packets of prepared seasonings.Because it is a very cold day, the lard in the seasoning bag has not melted at all, which is just right.

After typing countless drafts, Yu Zhu began to answer the questions on the draft paper.

There is a lot of time, and Yuzhu's energy is mainly put on copying.Write one word at a time, so that the handwriting is neat and neat, and you must not lose your impression points.

Tang Bing said that Zhang Bin, the current censor of the Shuntian Mansion, suffers from headaches and is not in good health.

Yuzhu got the advice, so he naturally wanted to hand in the test in advance, so as not to capsize in the gutter and suffer a big loss.

Soon, Yuzhu finished transcribing all three questions, checked his experience and taboos, and handed in the paper automatically.

At this time, only two hours had passed since the start of the exam.

In the courtyard examination, the test papers must be copied in anonymity.After Yuzhu was the first to hand in the paper, someone immediately blurred out the name, and then handed it over to the hired copyist for copying.

According to regulations, after transcribing, a special review is required to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

After the check was completed, as soon as the procedures for preventing cheating were complete, Yuzhu's test paper was handed over to Zhang Bin's desk.

Zhang Bin was taken aback, and subconsciously looked outside. The genius had just turned on, and someone handed in the paper.

After reading the three test papers, Zhang Bin fell silent.The standardized answers are almost perfect, which is really a rare good article.

On this side, even if Yu Zhu had handed in the test papers, he could not leave the house. He had to wait for the cannon to open the gate of the tribute courtyard to go out before he could go out.

After a good night's sleep, Yuzhu ate a bowl of noodles, hot soup and hot water, and fell asleep again with the small hand stove in his arms.

Finally, after it was completely dark, the letter cannon sounded.Yuzhu tidied up a bit, then carried the examination basket, followed the crowd, and left the tribute courtyard.
