Chapter 331 Exam Begins

"Xiaoshu, let the servants go in with you, so that they can take care of you." Yang Ruyi said.

Because they stayed inside for a whole day and night, the imperial court was very humane and allowed a book boy or servant to go in and serve them, but they could not enter the scope of the examination shed and could only wait in a fixed area.

"No, sister-in-law, don't worry, I can handle it alone, if not, I will tell you." Wei Shu shook his head.

"Alright then." Yang Ruyi spread her hands.

She knew that Wei Shu was a very assertive person, and generally he would not change his mind easily.

"Bookworm, big brother knows you are the best, so I don't have anything to tell you." Li Xiaodao patted Wei Shu on the shoulder.

"Brother, don't worry, just go home and wait for me." Wei Shu said confidently.

After chatting for a few more words, Wei Shu took his things and walked towards the Gongyuan.

The rural examination is the same as the college examination, and before entering the examination room, it is also necessary to search and check, so as not to be entrained.

For Wei Shu, a famous figure in the school, the guards who searched him naturally knew him, and they didn't dare to offend him, so they just searched symbolically and let him go.

But Wei Shu didn't break the rules, and still gave them money, after all, he is not short of this money now.

After entering the Gong Yuan, Wei Shu still followed the procedures and went to the invigilator to extract the test booth.

But this time Wei Shu's test booth was just a formality. His test booth had already been arranged, and that was Jiazi No. [-].

As a person who can hit the top three Jinshi in the Linjiang Mansion next year, it is understandable to have some special treatment.

Arranging the Weishu at Jiazi No. [-], firstly, it has a good meaning of being the first, and secondly, it is at the very edge, which not only has good ventilation and lighting, but also is not easy to be disturbed by other candidates.

Wei Shu's performance in this township examination is closely related to next year's general examination.

Because the main examiners and assistant examiners of the rural examination are all bachelors from the Imperial Academy or the cabinet in the capital, they will definitely discuss the quality of the students after they go back, so it is especially important to leave a good impression on them.

Wei Shu took the bamboo stick from the test shed, bowed politely to the officials, turned around and walked towards the test shed inside.

The official looked at Wei Shu's back and nodded in satisfaction. They are all Linjiang scholars. If Wei Shu can be ranked top three in high school, it will be the glory of the entire Linjiang Prefecture.

Wei Shu came to the test shed, put his things away, laid out the bedding, and fell asleep straight away.

He needs to recharge his batteries for the first round of the rural examination tomorrow.

Although there were mosquitoes at night, Wei Shu was well prepared. He brought several mosquito repellent sachets and hung them on the walls around the test booth.

This is specially made by Liu Ye'er for Weishu. It can not only repel mosquitoes, but also refresh the mind and prevent heatstroke.

And when Wei Shu was resting, there was an officer standing guard next to the examination shed to prevent him from being disturbed.

This is what the chief envoy told Xuezheng. Firstly, it is for the sake of Professor Guo and Liu Yeer. After all, one is a mentor and the other is his mother's god-granddaughter. Secondly, it is also for their own political achievements.

After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Wei Shu got up early, walked out of the test room to wash up briefly, and after eating the cakes prepared in advance, he went back to the test room to take out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and waited for the test questions to come.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

A gong sounded, which was to inform the candidates to return to the examination room, and the examination was about to start.

The first test is relatively simple, that is, three questions and four books, writing opinions of more than [-] words, and four questions of scriptures and meanings, writing more than [-] words.

These are generally all candidates can answer, because these are the most basic.

The second test has fewer questions, but more difficulty. With one of the Five Classics, one of the edict, judgment, table, and imperial edict, write opinions of more than [-] words.

This test is not difficult, but the opinions are different, and there is a slight difference, which does not show anything.

As for the third exam, it is the most difficult of the rural exams. It uses five current affairs strategies, that is, to express comments or opinions on current affairs and government affairs at that time in combination with the theory of Confucian classics.

This is when you need to think about the chief examiner. If your opinion is completely contrary to his thinking, no matter how good your writing is, he will not let you pass the exam, because he does not want to have more enemies in the court.

After a while, an official and two guards began to distribute test questions to each test booth.

After taking the test questions, Wei Shu removed the seal and slowly unfolded the test paper.

When he saw the title, he couldn't help but smile.

He had discussed this issue with Guo Ling'er a few days ago, and the two disagreed at that time, so they had to ask Professor Guo to make a judgment. Of course, Wei Shu won in the end.

Although he knew how to write, Wei Shu didn't rush to write, but closed his eyes and recalled Guo Linger's opinion.

The so-called one person counts the short, two people count the long, he wants to absorb the essence of Guo Linger's insights, supplement them into his own insights, and make them more substantial.

"call!"

Letting out a light breath, Wei Shu opened his eyes, picked up the brush and began to write.

His speed is very fast, without stopping for a moment, and everything is clear in his chest.

At this moment, Xuezheng walked over with the chief examiner and deputy examiner, and introduced in a low voice while walking.

"My lords, this son is Mr. Guo's closed-door disciple, the number one talented student in our Linjiang prefecture." Xuezheng praised.

"Mr. Guo has always had a high vision. To be able to fall into the eyes of his old man must be a rare good seedling." The examiner nodded.

Although he is a bachelor of the cabinet, his knowledge is not necessarily higher than that of Professor Guo, he just has a higher official position.

"He happened to be answering the question, let's go over and have a look." The deputy examiner suggested.

"Will this affect him?" the examiner asked hesitantly.

"If this situation can be affected, he is not worthy of being a Juren." The assistant examiner said.

Afterwards, a group of three people came to stand in front of Wei Shu's examination booth, watching Wei Shu's answering situation.

At this time, Wei Shu was just halfway through writing, and he was so absorbed that he didn't notice that someone was coming.

Looking at Wei Shu's vigorous handwriting, the two examiners looked at each other and nodded at the same time, obviously very satisfied.

In a short time, I finished writing more than 200 words of opinions, all of which are essences, and every word is useful.

Wei Shu put down his pen, ready to lower his head and blow gently, so that the ink can be dried faster.

Just as he lowered his head, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone standing in front of him, so he quickly raised his head to check.

He took a closer look and found that it was the two examiners and Xuezheng.

Although he didn't know the two of them, he knew the official uniforms they were wearing.

Wei Shu quickly stood up, saluted the three of them, "The student has met three adults."

"This is the examination room, so you don't need to be so polite, just sit down and continue answering the questions." Seeing Wei Shu's humility, the chief examiner waved his hand in satisfaction.

"Yes, my lord." Wei Shu sat down again, bowed his head to dry the ink, and then sealed the exam questions and prepared to hand in the paper.
