Chapter 364
Perhaps because of the imminent imperial examination, everyone felt that the days in Zeyang Mansion passed quickly.

No, it's time for the government test again.

The government examination is divided into three sessions, and the first two sessions take one day.Due to the theory of examination strategy, the follow-up exam will take two consecutive days.In other words, you have to spend the night in the examination room.

The so-called policies are articles that discuss current political issues and offer advice to the imperial court.In the current words, it is to use arguments as the center of writing.

This thing has no experience and knowledge, so it's really hard to write.

On the day of the exam, Yun Dashan and Bai Chitian got up before dawn.Obviously, I am a little nervous and can't sleep at all. It's better to get up early and have breakfast, and go to the examination room to queue up after eating and drinking.

Even Lin Keqing didn't fall asleep tossing and turning all night. Seeing that it was about the same time, she hurriedly steamed the buns, steamed buns and porridge that Yun Xiaoxiao sent in the steamer.

And Yun Xiaoxiao pushed the cart out the door, and specially brought two cooking pots to put on the cart. Fortunately, there was space beside the cabinet, where two cooking pots could be placed.

Many candidates for the imperial examination today should not be able to eat breakfast. If they go to sell breakfast now, they may be able to earn some money back.

Those children also came to help early.

The family members knew that they could make money and did not stop them. They were also very happy that they had grown up and could share the pressure for the family.In this way, the money these children earned was fooled away by the family.

But fortunately, it was not done, at least give the bowl of rice a half-full meal.

Every time there are leftover snacks after they are sold out, Yun Xiaoxiao will share some with them.So even if there is no wages that day, those children will still come to her.

Now they cooperate more and more tacitly, and they are very slippery.

No, in the early morning, there was a sound of hawking on the street, "Selling steamed buns, steamed buns, boiled eggs, porridge, crispy chicken cakes, the children next door are so delicious that they are crying."

Yun Xiaoxiao's signboard is Yunji Snacks, and the products they sell naturally change with the situation.For example, today is the day of the government examination, and candidates have to eat a full stomach to go to the exam, so selling steamed buns, steamed buns, boiled eggs, porridge, etc. is just right.

It is light and will not cause stomach discomfort and diarrhea in the middle of the exam.

And candidates who are not prepared to eat in the examination room can buy crispy chicken cakes.Dim sum is very expensive in the store, but Yunxiaoxiao sells it with better quality and lower price.

Such a crispy chicken cake is very popular with everyone.

Hearing the sound of selling, those candidates rushed over like crazy, and took out the copper coins on their bodies to express their willingness to buy.

The rice porridge is made by himself, and the eggs are also chickens that Yun Xiaoxiao raises in the warehouse, and the eggs he lays himself are just for feed. This way the cost is cheap, and Yun Xiaoxiao can make money even if he sells them cheap.

Many poor candidates are also willing to buy these two.

After all, to take an imperial examination, the registration fee, insurance fee, board and lodging fee, travel expenses, etc., all add up to tens of taels, which the poor cannot afford.

Selling Yun Xiaoxiao cheap is also considered a good person and a good deed, forming a good relationship.

The price of food that cannot be cooked by oneself is more expensive, and the cost is there.If it is cheaper, then you can’t lose money, it’s okay in the short term, but you’ll go bankrupt in the long term.

A few children not only yelled, but also helped to collect money and pass food to customers.These hands are busy back and forth, and they are sold out before the exam time.

So, Yun Xiaoxiao made a second trip to go home to pack food.

Then you can go outside the exam room and sell it to those who come to accompany the exam when they have no time to eat.

During the county examination, Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to sell things at the entrance of the examination room, but someone in the county was watching her every move, so she didn't dare to continue to show off.

But Zeyang Mansion is different. I don't enter into women and disguise myself as men, and I don't have any acquaintances here.Obviously not afraid of being targeted, let's talk about instant noodles and other matters.

After resting at home, Yun Dashan and Bai Chi also carried their baskets and followed the exams to the entrance of the examination room. When they saw Yun Xiaoxiao was among them, they rushed up to him, "Qingtian, are you here?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no customers shopping around, Yun Xiaoxiao said a few words, "Bai Chi, Dad, take the exam well and don't be burdened. If we pass the exam, we will continue to take the exam. If we fail the exam, it's okay to go home and continue to live in the countryside." good."

Bai Chi promised, "You have worked so hard to support our imperial examinations, how can we go home and live a pastoral life without knowing what is good or bad? I will definitely win the title of scholar."

Yun Dashan nodded, "Son-in-law is right, a man will do what he says, and if he says he will be admitted as a scholar, he must be admitted as a scholar. We will never break our promise."

Some things are really not what they say.

That being the case, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but hurriedly urged, "Stop talking loudly here, hurry up and queue up, or you won't be able to get in if you're late."

"Okay!" The two hurriedly lined up with their baskets in hand.

After taking the test once, everyone has experience. Before entering the test room, they have to check the test guide, body search, and security, and then enter the test room to listen to the training.

This time, Yun Dashan was lucky and was not assigned to the toilet number.

As for Bai Chi, he was assigned to a place with poor light this time, but it didn't have much impact.

The first round of the government exam is the same as the first round of the county exam. They are all scriptures of the Four Books and Five Classics, which are written silently.It's just that the selected articles are more remote, and the content written is more.

If the brain turns a little slower and the writing is slower, it is estimated that many candidates will not be able to finish writing.This is why many people have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, but they still fail the exam.

After getting the test paper in this way, Yun Dashan and Bai Chi began to write silently.This kind of exam is the most taboo to pause in the middle. The trick to this kind of exam is to write down what you have memorized first, and leave it blank if you are not familiar with it, so that you can have extra time to think about it later.

Because some words were too complicated, Bai Chi suddenly forgot and temporarily left them blank.Yun Dashan was even more serious, and there were several times where I couldn't remember clearly.

After all, the article is too biased and the keywords given are not enough.

Many times, get confused with other articles.

Not only did they encounter this situation, but many candidates in the examination room began to bite their pens in a state of desperation.Even some candidates for the psychological quality test have already collapsed at this moment. Although they tried their best not to make a sound, there was still a faint cry coming out.

The most important thing is to write typos, and you will be deducted from the exam.

In this way, the pen must be well written.

Soon, Bai Chi finished writing the last word and finished it. Although something went wrong halfway, he still remembered it and wrote it again.

As for Yun Dashan, he began to bite his pen.Regardless of the cost of studying and taking the exam, he must pass the exam once, otherwise he will be sorry for his daughter's hard work.Then he tweeted hate, and finally wrote down what he couldn't remember according to his instinct.

Soon, at noon, my stomach began to growl.

The walnut and red date cake that Yun Xiaoxiao prepared for them in advance was also delicious to eat, and they finished it all with a few clicks, but they couldn't get enough.

In this way, we can only make do with it.

No way, this is an examination room, not your own home, and you can't just bring whatever you want.

As for the other candidates, some ate snacks, some gnawed steamed buns, some kept drinking cold water to fill their stomachs, and some had to grit their teeth and press their aching stomachs to answer.

The most pitiful thing is the examinee who is sitting next to the toilet. The smell is like smog, which makes him unable to eat well and can't answer the questions seriously. In the end, some people have diarrhea and don't know what to eat. The smell is extremely smoky. Eyes rolled.

Even the people who patrolled back and forth looked at the candidates sitting in the toilet with a little sympathy in their eyes.I even guessed in my heart that this unlucky guy was probably going to die.

Anyway, in every imperial examination, most of them are hung next to the toilet number.

Not everyone is Yun Dashan, not afraid of smell.

After the afternoon, I will continue to check whether there are any wrong answers.

After confirming again and again that it was correct, it was time to hand in the paper.

In order to prevent officials from cooperating with candidates to cheat, there are three officials who collect papers.One of them collects the paper to check the candidate's name and domicile, the other seals the paper, and the last one takes the paper.

The name of the person who handled it must be written on it.

It can be seen that the imperial examinations are very strict, but this also means that the imperial court attaches great importance to talents.Otherwise, let cats and dogs come in to do things, the country has no talents, and sooner or later you will have to destroy yourself.

If there is a problem with the test paper, all those who handle it will be held accountable.

After the first exam was over, the door of the exam room opened.

They went in arrogantly, but when they came out, most of them were moaning.It is conceivable that many people did not do well in the exam, and some people checked the answers on the spot and found out that they were wrong.

Yun Dashan and Bai Chi were very tired, so they went straight home.

Lin Keqing and Xiaopingan didn't come this time, she had agreed to cook at home and wait for them to come back to eat.

As for Yun Xiaoxiao is very busy, selling breakfast and snacks, taking advantage of the exam period to make more money.Now the daily income is about a few taels of silver, but I am too tired from being busy from morning till night.

If she serves as a manufacturer and signs a few dealers, then she can sit at home and collect money.This idea is very good, but she has no property now, and she must be suspected if she becomes bigger.

Some people will question the source of goods.

Just like doing pyramid schemes, you have to rent a venue anyway, and then hire a few people to make a show.

Furthermore, Yun Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man, so her identity was a problem.

If you get a fake household registration, that would be fine.

After officially doing business, it has to be registered as a merchant.

Various problems await to be overcome.

During the meal, Bai Chi suggested, "Xiao Xiao, have you thought about going to the dental shop to sell a few slaves, and then distribute them to different areas of Zeyang Mansion for sale. In this case, the money you can earn will be several times what you are now .”

Yun Xiaoxiao has also considered this issue, but to buy slaves, they must provide them with a place.The family is so big, and there are women and children. According to ancient times, it is not convenient for men and women to live together.

Although Yun Xiaoxiao didn't mind, and Lin Keqing didn't mind either, but the neighbors around him would mind.Maybe it was less than a day after they moved in, and rumors spread that Lin Keqing was the sister in the building, and this time she had to serve many men at once.

At that time, three people will become tigers, and everyone will make gold.

In this way, a place is needed to accommodate these people, and it seems that a house must be rented.

Bai Chi's focus is on the imperial examination now, and he can't distract himself from business matters, so Yun Xiaoxiao is the only one who thinks about it and sees how to deal with it.

The most important thing is that I don't know if Yun Dashan and Bai Chi can pass the exam.If he fails the exam, it will be a question of whether to return to Dashan Village or find another way out.

After all, the imperial examination cannot be passed once, and you have to wait for three years.

After the first round of the government exam, you can rest for two days, and wait for the release of the rankings to pass, and you can continue to the next exam.Those who have not passed the test can pack up and leave, instead of continuing to waste money.

Soon, when the ranking day came, some people were happy while others were worried.

The rankings of Yun Dashan and Bai Chi were all moved back.

This time, Bai Chi didn't make it into the top ten, but directly ranked eighteenth, and almost fell behind the twenty.

And Yun Dashan is even worse, fifty.

It is understandable if you think about it. The last county examination was a competition for scholars in a county.But this time is different, this time the government examination, but scholars from several counties compete.There are many talented and intelligent talents among them, and it is normal that they cannot be compared.

As for the top spot in the county test last time, this time it was only No.10.

With such fierce competition, Yun Dashan and Bai Chi also began to get a little nervous.If this continues, they will all be eliminated before reaching the stage of being a scholar.

In this way, they began to race against time and start learning.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lin Keqing didn't dare to make a sound when she was at home, and even Little Ping'an began to study hard by herself, not daring to disturb them.

Next, the second government test.

This time, more than half of the number of people in the examination room was wiped out, and many examination rooms were vacant.

It can be seen from this that the cruelty of the imperial examination is unquestionable. If you have the strength, you can pass it, and if you have no strength, you will eventually be eliminated.

In the second round, the test was essays.

It's a bit like reading a proposition and writing an essay. If you understand the meaning contained in the proposition, you can start writing.I don't understand, it is estimated that the road to the imperial examination will be terminated again.

After reading the title, Bai Chi felt that he was lucky this time.

Questioning Yun Dashan, he also smiled.

Obviously, as long as they write in a well-regulated manner when encountering topics they are proficient in, even if they don't get high marks, they won't get low marks.Ranking is not important now, it is more important to pass the exam first.

As for the other candidates, they are confident in their plans.

Now, none of the leftovers are mediocrity.

Soon, everyone wrote a lot of words eloquently, and the entire examination paper was filled with answers.As for whether this test paper can please the examiner, it depends on luck.

The style of the essays is very different. Some examiners like the well-behaved type, some examiners like sharp people in their writings, and some examiners like people who hide their clumsiness.If you meet an examiner with a different style, you won't get a high score anyway.

After the exam, Yun Dashan and Bai Chi were not entangled.When I got home, I slept with my head covered. Obviously, I used my brain too much, and I was very mentally exhausted.He didn't even think about going out to bask in the sun, preferring to lie in a daze.

Seeing that both of them were not in good condition, Yun Xiaoxiao also prepared a sumptuous dinner to reward them.I hope that when they eat delicious food, they will feel happy and relax.

Just to prepare for the third round, the two hurriedly finished their dinner and went back to eat again, hoping to deepen their memory before the exam, so as not to suddenly forget it during the exam.

After all, it is not only them who are desperately fighting at this moment, but also candidates from the entire prefecture and county.

Yun Xiaoxiao watched the candles in the room lit all night, obviously the two of them studied for another night.It seems that it is not a rumor that taking the imperial examination will really make people crazy.
