Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 259 Small situation

The county magistrate waited for a while, glanced around the yard, and then slowly said: "My surname is Liu, and I am the magistrate of Zizhou County. I will be in charge of the Lishui County Examination with Rong County's edict from today. Candidates They are all people who read the books of sages and sages, so please abide by the rules of the examination room and refrain from doing anything that violates the rules. Once found out, they will be severely punished."

After his words fell, there was a faint voice coming from the courtyard the second time he entered, presumably the Rongxian Jiaozhi also said these words inside.

After a while, a person came out from inside, but he just entered the inner courtyard with Rongxian's instruction, it should be Rongxian's instruction.He whispered a few words in County Magistrate Liu's ear, and County Magistrate Liu nodded to a man in blue next to him.The man in blue opened the bag in his hand, revealing the test paper inside.

The subordinate officials who obeyed the orders and invigilated the examination were all brought from Zizhou County by County Magistrate Liu, and there were nine of them staying in the outer courtyard at this time.The man in blue first distributed the stacks of divided test papers to them, and they distributed them in the examination room, while he himself entered the inner courtyard along with the instructions from Narong County.

Soon, the test paper was sent to Du Jinning.She took a brief look at the test paper first, and confirmed that the test paper she got was not a blank paper, and there was no such thing as half a sheet with words and half a sheet without words, and after the writing on the test paper was relatively clear, she rolled up the test paper. Put it in the test paper bag you prepared.

She made this test paper bag out of lambskin, which is waterproof, stain-proof, and fire-proof. There is a lid made of lambskin on it, which is very convenient to use.

After loading the test papers, she put the test paper bag into the test basket at the foot of her desk, then poured clear water into the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

"Ah!" An exclamation came from the corner of the corridor on the left.

Everyone turned their heads and looked over there, only to see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old examinee standing up in a hurry and holding up a test paper, but the drops of ink dripping from the test paper indicated that the examinee had not yet Start writing test questions, and his exam is over.

In order to prevent candidates from making secret marks on the test paper, any dirt on the test paper will be regarded as a waste paper, no matter how colorful your answer is, you will get zero points.In the scientific examination room, there will be no chance of reissuing test papers.

So this examinee came here for nothing today.

No noise was allowed in the examination room, so although what happened to this young man caused a commotion in the examination room, no one whispered to each other. Everyone just looked at the young man with sympathy, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in their hearts that such an unlucky situation did not happen to them. When dealing with the test papers, inkstone, ink, etc. in hand, he is even more careful.

Du Jinning sighed secretly, looked away, and concentrated on grinding the ink.

Many candidates grind their ink while they are waiting just now, but Du Jinning waits until now to grind his ink, which is also based on the consideration of the safety of the test paper.

In addition, she did the questions quickly, so she didn't have to race against time to polish the ink in advance.

The process of grinding ink is actually a process of meditation.After grinding the ink in the inkstone until thick and fine, Du Jinning has adjusted himself to the best state.She first put the inkstone on the corner of the table, and then took out the innermost test paper from the test paper bag—that is, the first page of the test paper, unfolded it and put it on the table, and pressed both sides with a paperweight.

When she was checking the test paper just now, she had actually skimmed through today's county test questions.

This time and space has taken many anti-criminal measures against cheating in scientific examinations. In addition to disrupting and arbitrarily transferring county magistrates and teaching instructions, it has also done a good job in setting and managing questions.These test questions were not given by the county magistrate Liu just now, but by the county magistrate of another county.After they came up with a question, they printed it themselves, and after printing, they directly handed it over to their cronies for safekeeping.It wasn't until yesterday that he received a notice that he knew where the test questions he had submitted would be sent, that the confidant took the test questions to the county where he was located to distribute the test papers.

And these test questions, although they come and go without the same question types, the content still changes.

For example, the test paper she took just now is not all the test questions of post scriptures, but a mixture of post scriptures, ink meanings, arithmetic, scriptures and test post poems.This is to put all the content of the three-day county test into one day.In fact, from the perspective of Du Jinning's future generations, such a question is very reasonable. After all, the first day of the county test is extremely important for candidates.If you pass this test paper, it doesn't matter if you pass the next test or not.This will make it much easier for both candidates and invigilators.

She picked up a pen and dipped the ink on the inkstone, and answered the questions easily.

Although the questions are relatively comprehensive, the post scripture test questions still account for the largest proportion, fully occupying the entire test paper.According to Du Jinning's photographic memory, she could easily answer this kind of questions, so it only took more than half an hour for her to answer the scripture questions.

After answering the test paper, she was not in a hurry to put it away, but put the pen on the pen holder, let the ink on the test paper dry completely, and then carefully rolled it up.

She picked up the test paper bag, first took out the test paper inside, pressed the corner of the test paper with a paperweight, then put the completed test paper in her left hand into it, closed the lid, and put it in the test basket.

Unfolding the second test paper, she was about to look at what the Mo Yi questions on it were, when suddenly there was a "wow", a test paper flew from nowhere, covered her face with a hood, and was blurred. With her gaze, the old man next to her exclaimed: "Ah, my test paper."

Du Jinning took off the test paper from his face, secretly glad that the test paper on his desk was covered by a paperweight, and he didn't hold a pen dipped in ink in his hand.Otherwise, the gust of wind just now either blew her test paper away, or the ink stained the test paper because of this sudden incident.

She was about to hand back the test paper to the old man when an officer ran over and asked, "What's going on?"

The old man hurriedly got up and cupped his hands: "Master, the wind blew my test paper into this young man's face." He pointed to the test paper Du Jinning was holding in his hand.

Seeing that Du Jinning wanted to hand back the test paper to the old man, the guard quickly reached out to stop him: "Wait a minute." He said and gestured towards the front steps.

Because of the noise here, the county magistrate sitting on the steps of the gate had already turned his gaze towards this side. Seeing the guard gesturing to him, he quickly got up and walked towards this side.

Du Jinning froze as he handed over the test paper, looked at the guard and then at the county magistrate, his brows furrowed

These people, don't they think she cheated?
