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

Chapter 297
Gu Chengyu supported his head and watched the assistant examiner in front of him distribute the papers. After the papers were distributed, the door was about to be locked, and three candles were handed out along with the test papers.

In fact, Gu Chengyu felt that it would be better not to write exam papers at night if he stayed in such an exam room.Everyone's dormitories are locked, and if there is a fire, you can't even run away.

The door of the waiting room was locked, and the first test of the township examination officially began.After finishing the ink, Gu Chengyu picked up the paper and glanced at it roughly. "The Analects", "University", and "Mencius" all have more than [-] characters in each inscription, which is actually silent writing.

Then write a five-character and eight-rhyme poem. This one must be solved first.There are four poems of scriptures and meanings, each of which needs to write more than [-] words.

Gu Chengyu is not afraid of the titles of the Four Books. The most troublesome thing is the classics and meanings. The titles of the classics and meanings in the Dayan Dynasty are already similar to the eight-legged essays in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the previous life, which is the Zou Xing of the eight-legged essays in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The titles of the four scriptures first need to be solved and inherited, and Gu Chengyu didn't read them carefully. He was going to finish writing the titles of the four books first.

After laying out the test paper, Gu Chengyu began to write the above four book questions on the draft paper. Each question was more than [-] words, which was not much for Gu Chengyu, and he wrote very fast.It's just that there can't be mistakes here, so he wrote slower than usual.

The time to leave the examination room was on the third day, and Gu Chengyu planned to hand in the paper early in the morning on the third day. For him, there was enough time.

At noon, the sunlight outside the house was very dazzling. Gu Chengyu squinted his eyes and looked out the window. Today is another sunny day, and now he feels a little hot.The house is not ventilated, and the temperature inside is very high. In addition, there is a small red stove next to it. There is still charcoal in the small stove, which is burning, in order to heat the dishes and rice.

However, now Gu Chengyu only feels that he is in a steamer.

After taking off the two outer garments and using the internal force, I felt better.He probed to look outside, only to find that the examinee opposite had already been shirtless, and he could still see his glistening flesh here.

Fortunately, he has internal strength, Gu Chengyu thought happily.Looking at the small clock in the space, he found that it was almost twelve o'clock, and he was going to have lunch before doing it.At noon, he planned to heat up the water in the bamboo tube, and then deal with it with jerky and steamed buns.

The guards outside are walking around from time to time. If any candidate needs to buy food, he only needs to ring the small bell next to him, and the guards will bring it over.However, I heard that the food inside is extremely expensive.

Gu Chengyu looked at the jerky and steamed buns in his hands. Under such weather, it might not last for two days, and the steamed buns would be rancid.However, he is not afraid, anyway, he has space, and there is a lot of food in the space, and when the time comes to cook some noodles at night, no one will know, he only needs to take care of two meals in the morning and noon.

After lunch, Gu Chengyu continued to do the questions.

The following are the questions of the meaning of the four scriptures. The first question is that Zi said to Yan Yuan: "Use it to do it, and discard it to hide it. I am your husband!"

As soon as Gu Chengyu saw the title, he knew it was from "The Analects of Confucius Shuer". First, he had to break the title. Gu Chengyu wrote on the draft paper, "It is advisable for a sage to travel and hide, and he will show it when he is able."

Then let's take the question again. It took Gu Chengyu nearly an hour to complete it completely with regard to this sutra. There are still three questions below, and it is expected that it will definitely not be finished today.He didn't plan to write at night. During the day, he was tense and tired. He needed to rest at night.Besides, he has plenty of time. He estimates that most candidates haven't even finished the four questions!
When it was dark, Gu Chengyu did two things.There are still two questions and a test post poem, which he plans to write tomorrow.

Gu Chengyu cleaned up the table, put the test papers and ink into the test basket, and lay down on the bed to get ready to rest.The lantern above the dormitory had already been lit. Relying on his night vision ability, he looked at the dormitory opposite and found that the examinee was still writing hard.

In fact, it is too late to write these questions in three days, but this is for candidates who are relatively quick-witted, and they must memorize the Four Books thoroughly.

The next day, Gu Chengyu rested overnight, brushed his teeth and washed his face with the toiletries in the space, boiled steamed buns and jerky in hot water, and then ate breakfast.

After eating, I continued to write the remaining two sutras from yesterday. I wrote the two sutras for the whole morning. At noon, Gu Chengyu took out some noodles from the space and secretly cooked them.There is no way, he always eats steamed buns and jerky, and he can't swallow it anymore.After watching the guards on patrol leave, he quickly cooked the noodles, added only a little salt and oil, and served with dried meat for another meal.

After eating enough, Gu Chengyu went to the latrine and prepared to take a short rest. Anyway, there was only one test post poem left, and then the answers would be copied on the test paper. It would not take long to write and copy.

The final test post poem requires sixteen sentences in five characters and eight rhymes, and the test post poem must be properly composed.The title of the poem is "immortals row out of the clouds", which is derived from the word "Taiwan".This is from the "Poetry of Youxian" written by Guo Pu, a poet of the Jin Dynasty. There is a sentence in it, "The immortals come out of the clouds, but you can see Jinyintai".

Gu Chengyu felt a little surprised. Not every student has read this poem. It has already surpassed the Four Books and Five Classics. It seems that it should be a so-called bonus item.

This poem needs to spend a lot of time, Gu Chengyu decided to conceive it slowly, and first copied the answers on the test paper before speaking.

Fang Huai sat at the top, looking at the last house below, which was where Gu Chengyu was.He stood up, ready to go down and turn around.Walking to Gu Chengyu's dormitory, standing still a little far away, looking inside, he found that Gu Chengyu was writing the answer.

Time passed by, and soon it was the third day. Gu Chengyu had finished writing, checked it up and down, and waited for the time to hand in the paper.

As soon as Sishi arrived, Gu Chengyu rang the bell next to him. In this narrow dormitory, Gu Chengyu couldn't stay for a moment.

After a while, deputy examiners came to unlock Gu Chengyu's dormitory, and they also sealed Gu Chengyu's examination paper.The township examination is much stricter than the previous examinations. All candidates' examination papers have to be re-transcribed, and then they will be proofread by another person before marking the papers.

After Gu Chengyu left the Gongyuan, he felt that the air was much fresher.Although the house is still some distance away from Gong's room, but the weather is hot and there are many people in the Gongyuan, the smell is really bad.There were tens of thousands of candidates for the provincial examination, and only about 400 were admitted in the end!
"Young master! I'm here waiting for Mr. Sun and the others. You should go back and wash your hands and have a good rest! The exam is coming up tomorrow!" Ming Yan was waiting for Gu Chengyu outside the Gong Yuan today, and Ming Mo followed Yu Tanzi Went to run errands.

"Alright! When Sun Gongzi and the others come out, you tell them, and I'll go back to the inn first!" After two nights without a bath, Gu Chengyu could smell his body.He didn't dare to go into the space, what if the guards suddenly stood up to observe him?After all, he is young, and they can be curious, so isn't he going to change into a living person?
