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

Chapter 417 Your Jerky Has Broken
As soon as Huang Junheng came over, he saw Gu Chengyu stuffing jerky into his mouth quickly and gracefully, still thinking about how this young man had a really good appetite early in the morning!He was about to vomit after eating dry food for the past two days.

Gu Chengyu wanted to roll his eyes, but he had to smile and say hello.

There were more and more people, even Sun Xian and Zheng Lun came over.

"Chengyu! You are so early!" Zheng Lun saw Gu Chengyu's eyes lit up, and he knew that Gu Chengyu would be earlier than them.

As soon as he got close to Gu Chengyu, he smelled a strange smell, "What's the smell on you? Is your jerky spoiled? Do you still eat such a strong smell?"

Zheng Lun and the others didn't know that Gu Chengyu had a bad name, so they thought it was the smell of dried meat and steamed buns in Gu Chengyu's test basket.

Gu Chengyu choked, almost rolled his eyes, and quickly picked up the bamboo tube beside him, and drooled.

Isn't this just to see his joke?Didn't you see the smile on Min Feng's face, can't you stop it?She even took two steps back, as if avoiding him like a snake.

Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, he was used to smelling it, but he actually felt that the smell on his body was not that strong, right?
"I've been assigned a bad name." Gu Chengyu pretended to be calm and said something.

Zheng Lun and Ye Zhiqiu who came behind were dumbfounded, then Zheng Lun laughed dryly, "Then you continue."

Afterwards, several people also sat opposite to Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu became angry when he saw this.

The other candidates looked at Gu Chengyu sympathetically, and then took two steps to the side.

Gu Chengyu thought to himself, after three days, the smell on his body will be stronger, and then he will stand among them, and the joy alone is not as good as the joy of the crowd.

"Oh! That's really unfortunate!" It was Liu Haonan who said this, his expression was extremely exaggerated, and he took a big step backward.

The second test is policy theory, which is also five questions.

Gu Chengyu tore off a piece of cloth from an outer robe, made a simple mask, put it on his face, and really felt much better than before.

Gu Chengyu took a look and found that it was not difficult, and it was very similar to the theory of the previous exam.He is a little strange, the questions in this test are too simple, right?However, it may not be easy to write brilliantly. After all, the topic is only ordinary, and it is difficult for candidates to write new ideas.

In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't know, he thought it was easy, but others thought it was difficult!

After staying in the dormitory for another three days, Gu Chengyu still handed in the paper early and went to the corridor.His head was a little dizzy, probably from the poisonous gas.

"Chengyu! Just wait another three days and it will be over. You must persevere!" Seeing Gu Chengyu's description was a bit haggard, Sun Xian quickly comforted him.

Gu Chengyu still felt a little nauseous when he thought of smelling his body, he had already vomited once today.

Gu Chengyu waved his hand, "There are three days left, of course I can get through it."

"I don't know what happened to the candidate caught two days ago, Chengyu! He seems to be right across from you?" Ye Zhiqiu thought of the candidates who cheated in the past two days.

"It's strange to say! It is said that it was copied on the outer robe. Why didn't the search find it?" Sun Xian also felt strange. He thought of bribery, but he couldn't say it here. There were two guards in the corner over there. Look at it!
"Who says it's not? Sigh! Tell me, those cheaters are really hateful. We can say that we are hanging on the beam for the sake of the exam. They don't work hard, but they just want to take advantage of it. It's too whimsical."

When a candidate saw Sun Xian and the others chatting about cheating, he interrupted with righteous indignation.

The third test was the Sishu essay. Gu Chengyu heard from the doctor of the Imperial College that the format of the Sishu essay might be changed in this year's exam, which is more stringent than the previous one. Gu Chengyu immediately thought of stereotyped essays.

When the examination papers were issued, Gu Chengyu carefully looked at the questions. There were seven questions, and each question had a word count, ranging from [-] to [-] words in length and [-] words in length.

Gu Chengyu looked at the first question, which was "What the Weimin Stopped." This is a sentence from "The Book of Songs·Shang Song", ""The country is thousands of miles away, and the Weimin stopped, and it spreads across the world."

Seeing "What the Weimin Stop", Gu Chengyu remembered the literary inquisition that occurred during the Yongzheng period in his previous life.

Fortunately, this is not an interception question. If only "Wei Zhi" is written, there must be many candidates who really don't know the source.

Gu Chengyu went on to look at the second question, which was "Wang Su made an order to rebel".What is this question?Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while, and then remembered that this came from "Mencius" in "Wang quickly issued an order, but turned against him".

Gu Chengyu shook his head, just now he said that there was no question, but now he is out.

Fortunately, the next few questions are relatively regular, until I see the last question, which has only one word "two".Gu Chengyu wanted to spit blood, but there was only one two, who knows where it came from?

It seems that the difficulty of this test will come later!Also, how could it be possible for you to pass the test easily?He may need to spend some time thinking about the last question. He plans to do the previous questions first, and the last question, and then wait until the rest are done.

It took Gu Chengyu two days to complete all the previous exam questions, and when it was his turn to the last question, he began to think hard.

Gu Chengyu thought that there are many chapters in "The Analects of Confucius", and he has to carefully deliberate which one it is.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and then confidently broke the topic on the draft paper. He felt that the word "two" was an independent sentence, "say: two, I am still not enough, how thorough is it."

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Yan Yuan Pian No. 12", Gu Chengyu can be sure that this is definitely from this article, and the officials who wrote the question are also "two" enough.For such a question, he could imagine how the examinees would curse in their hearts.

These few questions are quite difficult. This time, about 300 people are admitted. Not to mention the last question, the previous ones can also block many candidates who are not solid enough.

Fortunately, Gu Chengyu possesses a near-photographic memory ability, otherwise it would be difficult to take the imperial examination in ancient times!To do a good article, you have to learn and use it flexibly. It is not enough to just study hard.Therefore, this requires experience, no wonder the ancients like to go out to study.

The dormitory opposite Gu Chengyu was empty, and he couldn't help feeling that the man wanted to smell the smell of the toilet now, but he couldn't smell it anymore.

As the sky darkened, Gu Chengyu was halfway through making it, and then put away the examination paper and pen and ink.He has already done it fast enough, all the previous exam questions have been written and copied on the test paper, and he only needs to wait for the last question to be written.

After blowing out the candle and checking it, Gu Chengyu took off his robe and got down.He felt that the clothes on his body looked like pickle bangzi, not to mention crumpled, and there was a strong smell on them.

He cheered himself up in his heart, stay up one more night today, and leave this stinky account tomorrow after finishing the papers.It was really unbearable for a day, it was a torture to him.

Especially those candidates who passed by, he could feel their sympathetic gaze even through a brick wall.
