The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 208 Scoring
Gu Chengyu endured the musty smell of the quilt and forced himself to sleep.

The examinee on the opposite side lit a candle and began to write the third question under the faint candlelight.The second question took too long, so he decided to write some more at night. These two questions only have a rough outline and need to be polished.

He looked at the examinee opposite, it was a baby, and he was already sleeping on the bed.He shook his head, it's hard for such a young candidate to stand out from the crowd in the test of strategy theory!It's no wonder that the examinee should eat and sleep, is he planning to give up?
He glanced to the side and saw that everyone was struggling to light up the lamps, so he retracted his gaze and brought the examination papers and candles closer.Although there are lanterns above the test booth, the vision is still a bit blurred.

Gu Chengyu managed to count the sheep and fell asleep. He didn't know how long he had slept, but was suddenly woken up by an exclamation next to him!
"It's on fire! It's on fire!" Then, a burst of noise sounded.

Gu Chengyu immediately jumped up from the bed. He first glanced at the examination room opposite, and saw that the examinee opposite was holding a test paper in his hand, which was already on fire. Big, took two shots, and the fire on the test paper went out.

But the examinee began to howl. Gu Chengyu looked at the test paper he was carrying, and it turned out that a little half of it had been burned, and the man began to cry loudly. The sound had already alarmed the guards, and they had already walked over.

"What are you shouting about? No noise is allowed in the examination room!" one of the guards shouted loudly.

Then the two picked up the examinee and dragged the examinee out.Although Gu Chengyu felt sorry for the examinee, he was really relieved. If a fire broke out in the examination room, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, the door of the Tribute Court was completely closed, both the examiner and the examinee had to stay inside the Tribute Court, and the outside was locked.The lock outside the door will only be opened when it is time to hand in the papers tomorrow.

A few candidates in a row retracted their heads and lit the candles at night. Naturally, they had to be very careful. Everyone shook their heads. They didn't know whether they were sighing that the candidate was unlucky, or they thought the candidate was too careless!
Gu Chengyu looked across and saw that the candle had burned to the end. It seemed that the test paper was very close to the candle just now, and there was some wind tonight, so it might have burned like this.

Now that he woke up, he didn't plan to go back to sleep. He glanced at the small clock in the space and found that it was already 04:30 in the morning.Gu Chengyu dipped the handkerchief in water and wiped his face. He couldn't brush his teeth here, so he had to endure it.Then, he patted his cheek to wake himself up.

Lay out the draft paper, and prepare to revise the last policy statement yesterday!

When the guards delivered breakfast, Gu Chengyu had already opened the test paper and started to copy it!

When Prefect Jiang came over early in the morning, he heard that a candidate fell asleep while writing the test paper at night, and the test paper was still on fire. Fortunately, he found it early.Since ancient times, it's not that there have been fires in the Gongyuan. When the fire happened, wouldn't they be engulfed by the fire together?It seems that there will be two more guards on patrol at night.

The door will be unlocked at noon today, so candidates who want to hand in their papers will have to wait until noon.Since there is enough time, Gu Chengyu wrote slowly.

Prefect Jiang paced back and forth, looked at the examination papers of the candidates on both sides, and glanced roughly, some who wrote quickly were already writing the third question, and some who wrote slowly were only halfway through the second question.

He paused and walked towards Gu Chengyu.Glancing at it, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Gu Chengyu to do it so fast, and was already copying the answer.Looking at Gu Chengyu's serious face, he thought about the bandits, maybe he will be promoted next year.

This group of bandits was a headache for the magistrate of Fengding Prefecture. This time he sent people to Fengding Prefecture quickly, and prepared to cooperate with the magistrate of Fengding Prefecture to take down the remaining bandits in one fell swoop. This was his political achievement.

Thinking of this, he was in a great mood, stroked his beard, and walked towards other test rooms with square steps.

As soon as the time came, Gu Chengyu rang the little bell.He had finished writing it long ago, and he couldn't look around while staying in the test shed, and he didn't want to sleep anymore. Finally, when the time came, he wanted to go back to the inn earlier and have a good rest!Besides, Yu Tanzi must have returned.

Gu Chengyu left the tribute courtyard, instead of waiting outside the gate, he went directly back to the inn, and Ming Mo, who had been sent back, waited outside the tribute courtyard.

When he returned to the inn, Yu Tanzi had already returned, and reported to Gu Chengyu that the Yipinzhai in Fucheng had been set up, and there were only two cooks left. When they came, Gu Chengyu would teach them how to make pastries.

After all, it is Fucheng, so it is not enough to have fewer types of pastries. There are many rich families here.Gu Chengyu planned to make the cake, and he had ordered Mingmo to make a custom-made oven a few days ago, hoping that the oven he made would not be too different from his previous life.

With the oven, even other pastries and snacks can be made, I believe it should be the first one in Fucheng.

Then he thought of something, "Thousands! In the past two days, Brother Hua, you should pay attention. If there is anything unusual, come back and tell me."

Gu Chengyu thought about it, but still felt uneasy about Gu Wanhua. Gu Wanhua was unstable and easily tempted.He planned to send Gu Wanhua back after the exam, and he would stay in Fucheng for a day, and he had to wait for Yipinzhai to open before he could leave.

"Hey!" Although Gu Wanqian was a little puzzled, he already knew now, don't ask too many questions, just do what Gu Chengyu explained carefully.

A few copper lamps illuminated the room brightly. Prefect Jiang rubbed his forehead and felt his eyes were dry.Picking up the tea bowl, took a sip, and took a short break.Every time the government examination is the busiest time, although he is not the only one to review these examination papers, the examination papers of hundreds of people are shared, and there are quite a lot of examination papers for one person.

He felt a little tired. Seeing now, he did not see an eye-catching policy theory. Some of them were all nonsense. He only focused on writing some gorgeous rhetoric without any practical policy. Such articles can also be called Is it policy theory?

After a while, he opened his eyes, and continued to read the next exam paper. After reading the first one, he was furious.

"What is this written about? And increase the agricultural tax every year? Even if such a person becomes an official, he will only exploit the common people. Hmph! I really don't know what it means!"

He also knows that it is not easy to write practical strategies for the exam questions this time. After all, the exam questions have been issued in the past, but as long as they are well-written, they can be counted if they write two points. Isn't that to force the common people to live in poverty?

He didn't even read the second exam, so he threw this exam paper into the pile that he couldn't pass. He couldn't pass the first question, and he didn't care about the rest!

These candidates just stay at home every day and read the books of sages and sages. They don’t care about the mulberry field. They are afraid that they can’t even distinguish the seedlings from the weeds. How can they expect to get good suggestions?well!
