Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 399

During this period, Zhao Liang and several deputy examiners came to inspect the situation a few times, but this had no effect on Du Jinning.

On the third day, the last test post poem was left.

Poetry writing is Du Jinning's weakness, just like composing music, it requires a lot of talent.Du Jinning happened to be mediocre in this respect.After two years of study, she can write a well-balanced poem, but it is not easy for her to be brilliant.

She looked down at her article.

Du Jinning has read a lot of books and articles in the past two years, and has a good understanding of this era and the level of his classmates.She felt that even if her two articles could not get the conceptual approval of the examiners, it would be no problem to pass the college examination and get high marks.

However, the Tang and Song Dynasties paid more attention to poetry than the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Although there is only one test poem in the third question, if the examiner particularly likes poems, this question can also become an important judgment on whether to take it as the top of the court's case.

So I have to write this poem well.

Du Jin calmed down and looked at the title: "The dead are like gentlemen, never giving up day and night."

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Zihan Pian", which means that time keeps passing like running water. I feel that life and things change quickly, and I also have the meaning of cherishing time.

Cherishing time is an old topic not only in ancient times, but also in ancient times.Many people have written such poems.But it is not easy to write new ideas.

Seeing this title, Yang Shen's "Linjiang Fairy" came to Du Jinning's mind.Regarding time, for her who has died and relived to someone else, perhaps the meaning expressed in this poem can best reflect her feelings.

But, do you really want to copy poetry?
Du Jinning hesitated.

She is not scruples about integrity.When she copied Jin Yongda's martial arts novels for money, she lost her integrity and couldn't pick it up.At this time, copy some poems again, and there is no psychological pressure.Although the level of poetry in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is not as good as that in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there are still some good poems and words, and it is no problem to use them to decorate the facade.

It's just that her own poetry writing level is not high. If she writes a good poem now, if someone like Qi Siyu invites her to a poetry meeting in the future and asks her to compose poems, and there is no matching scene in Ming and Qing poems, how can she Don't you want to make a big fool of yourself?
So until now, when she encounters poems to be written, she always writes according to her own ability, and she has never dared to "make a big splash".

And now, at such a critical time, should I copy that song?Do you want it?

In the end, Du Jinning gritted his teeth: Never mind, just write.

Picking up the brush and brushing, she wrote the song "Linjiang Fairy" on the draft paper, and copied it on the test paper after confirming that it was correct.

This time, all the questions are finished.

Du Jinning raised her head and looked at the sky. It should be a while before noon. She lowered her head and looked at the test paper. She decided to hand in the paper together when many people hand in the paper at night.

Defenses can not do without.She also didn't know if Zhao Liang would be tempted for Qi Siyu if he saw that her article was well written.Although these test papers were sealed and transcribed to prevent the examiner from recognizing someone's handwriting and cheating for personal gain, it was still very easy for a chief examiner to do anything.She had to guard against it.

Although the smell of the latrine became more and more unbearable after three days, Du Jinning had been tortured in the academy before, and his nerves had been trained very thickly, so he could still hold on for half a day.

Du Zheyan on the opposite side didn't have time to see what Du Jinning was going to do.He procrastinated on the first day, and now he is rushing to write the second question.After finishing the second question, it took half a day to write a poem. The time was very tight. If the writing didn't go smoothly, he might not be able to finish it.

"Come here quickly and carry this man out." The soldier who was monitoring Du Jinning suddenly waved to the front.

There was a sound of footsteps, and there was a noise in the examination room next door to Du Jinning.But soon, these footsteps walked out in neat steps, and the next door became quiet.

Du Jinning knew that another candidate had fallen, so he couldn't help sighing.

Because of the hot weather, the cramped and airtight exam hall is like a stuffy jar, plus some people can’t sleep for three nights, are mentally exhausted, and have the pressure of exams. If the willpower is not strong and the health is not good, it is easy fall down.This was already the third person carried out near them.

Because that person was next door to Du Jinning's examination number, Du Zheyan and Zhou Zhi who were opposite could see the situation clearly.

Du Zheyan had lingering fears, but Zhou Zhi was full of gratitude to Du Jinning.

If it weren't for Du Jinning who calmed his nerves like a sea needle, he might also fall like this.

Du Zheyan stared at the empty test number for a long time, then glanced at Du Jinning, seeing that she had been looking down at the paper on the horizontal board without being affected by the test number next door, he also quickly lowered his head Go, write your own second article.

Time is always walking unhurriedly, and finally in the evening, the cloud board for handing in the paper is knocked, and the sound of the exam board being set up can be heard everywhere in the test shed.Du Jinning also stood up, took out the test paper and checked it again. After confirming that it was correct, she put it back into the test paper bag, and then looked around her test number. There was indeed nothing left. She opened the test board and walked out.

Seeing this, Du Zheyan and Zhou Zhi hurriedly finalized the test post poems they had pondered all afternoon, and copied them on the test paper.It doesn't take much time to write a poem, and they can get out in no time.

Zhou Zhi is okay, he feels that his condition is not particularly good, but it is okay to be able to write such articles and poems after getting a bad name.In such a state, the college examination can still be passed.With Du Jinning around, he didn't think he had any hope of winning the case.Furthermore, in previous years, there were still many candidates who had not passed the college exam, and the competition was fierce. He didn't dare to expect extravagantly for the first case.His goal is to be in the top ten in the college examination.

The court attached great importance to scientific research.In this hospital examination, a team of nearly 600 officers and soldiers was transferred to maintain discipline in the examination room, and a soldier stood in front of every two examination numbers.Seeing Du Jinning come out to hand in the test paper at this time, the soldier in charge of monitoring her greeted his companion with his eyes, and followed her, watching her hand over the test paper to the examiner, who also sealed the test paper It was easy to store, so he turned around and continued to stare at Du Zheyan.

After handing in the papers, Du Jinning silently followed the candidates and waited in line for release.After a while, she came out of the palace.

Breathing in the fresh air, Du Jinning took a deep breath.

Finally finished the exam.

Although there is a second re-examination, but because the number of people taking the exam is much smaller, the admission ratio has dropped to two to one, and the exam time is not so long, so it will be relatively easier.Besides, she can't be so unlucky in the re-examination, and get a bad number.

Therefore, her most difficult level has been counted.
