The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

On the eighth day of August in the sixth year of Jinghe, Qiu Wei's first exam began.

Sheng Yuan waited in line for the entrance with his test basket.

The big difference from the previous children's exams is that there are three township exams, and candidates for each exam have to stay in the exam room for three days and two nights.

According to the exam schedule, they enter the field on the eighth day and exit on the tenth day; then enter the field on the eleventh day, then exit the field on the thirteenth day; then enter the field on the fourteenth day, and then exit the field on the sixteenth day.

The three exams lasted nine days, one day followed by another, and the exhaustion of staying overnight in the exam room had not yet dissipated, and a new high-intensity exam was about to take place, which was a great test for the candidates' physique and mentality.

Rao is a healthy and strong girl like Sheng Yuan, and when she realizes the test she is about to meet, she can't help swallowing.

There is no way, according to her original plan, she will take the provincial examination in the next session, so she will have enough time to simulate the examination environment and adapt to the examination atmosphere.

But now that she was rushing the ducks to the shelves, she could only bite the bullet and rush up.

In An Yukuan's words, that's good too, so as not to suffer the mock exam.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan clenched his fists in his heart to cheer up: Come on!Go for it once!
After several times of self-encouragement like this, Sheng Yuan's mood became much calmer, and her worries about living in the examination room disappeared, but she was in the mood to look around.

Since the establishment of the Dayan Dynasty, the order of admission in the provincial examinations has been insisted that the chief examiner enters first, and then the students enter.

Therefore, while Sheng Yuan was inquiring back and forth, he saw a group of officials lined up to the side entrance of the examination room and slowly entered.

Sheng Yuan looked at them from a distance, although he couldn't see clearly, the identities of these officials emerged in his mind.

In this dynasty, most of the selection of examiners for the rural examinations were lecturers or bachelors from the Imperial Academy who were born as Jinshi, or six ministers or cabinet bachelors.

After these Beijing officials received the examination errands, they were about to go to various parts of the country to preside over the rural examinations.

Sheng Yuan remembered that Mr. Academy said that such errands were mostly temporary dispatches, and they had to return to Kyoto after the rural examination, so the imperial court paid more travel expenses for such errands.

It is said that the farther the distance, the more silver taels, the most tall ones are a thousand taels of silver, and the least are five hundred taels.

Thinking of this kind of fixed-point tolerance travel with travel expenses, Sheng Yuan is tempted!Without hesitation, she added a touch to her work plan.

"Why are there four chief examiners here? There are two more than the other place?"

Obviously, Sheng Yuan was not the only student looking around.

No, when she was dreaming, the examinees behind her also whispered.

Obviously, the other party is much more serious than her.

Hearing the conversation, Sheng Yuan's ears perked up involuntarily.

Although she knew the reason, she was very curious about what others said.

"Kyoto is the best place, so the standards of the examiners are naturally higher than those of other places. For example, the examiners of the rural examinations have one officer and one pair; but here in Kyoto, one officer and three officers are arranged. This is ostentation!"

Sheng Yuan couldn't help shrugging his shoulders when he heard the man's words, and said to himself, the examinees thought they were ostentatious, but the examiners didn't necessarily think so. They were also the main examiners, and because they didn't need to go out of Beijing, these examiners didn't have travel expenses.

This may not be very happy for the examiners.

"I heard that the examiners will also take the exam. They will come to see us after they pass the exam. I wonder if there is a sense of relief!"

Sheng Yuan didn't expect that there would be such an association among candidates, and he couldn't help but look at it with admiration.
