Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 408 All Guessed Right
As soon as Du Jinning cleaned up the examination room, a group of soldiers ran over, each taking their positions.This time there were sufficient personnel, and they arranged for a soldier to guard a test room.

The soldiers stood still, and Zhao Liang also began to inspect the examination room.

After the government examination, Du Jinning, as the case chief, went to visit Zhao Liang. Zhao Liang was very impressed with this young man with outstanding looks and outstanding talents.When he visited Du Jinning's exam room before the exam, he paused, nodded slightly to Du Jinning, and then walked over.

Qi Siyu was ignored by Du Jinning just now, and now he was ignored by Zhao Liang again. He was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and he kept comforting himself in his heart: Zhao Liang wanted to avoid suspicion, so it was inconvenient to signal to him.After reading this sentence several times in my heart, the anger was suppressed.

Zhao Liang came over to inspect, and the guards holding the title cards walked up and down the corridor.

Du Jinning looked at the sign and wrote down the title.

Five law questions, two etiquette questions, and three arithmetic questions.

Arithmetic is her strong point, and the answers are fixed; she has prepared "Song Xing Tong", so even if it has a lot of content, it is no problem for her who has a photographic memory; "Book of Rites" is even more memorized.The content of all the exams is her guesswork.In this re-examination, she is absolutely sure to get a perfect score.

Even so, she didn't care too much.She who has experienced various exams in her previous life knows best that the more confident the questions are, the more careful she must be, and she must not be taken lightly, otherwise it will be easy to lose points.

So she didn't rush to start, but slowly rubbing the ink, going through all the things in her mind carefully, and carefully thinking about whether there was anything she missed.Anyway, time is very abundant for her, so there is no need to worry at all.

Qi Siyu, who was on the opposite side, saw that the test was indeed about the law, so he was very proud.

He had guessed the scope of Zhao Liang's question rightly because he was close to the water.He recited the law non-stop all day and night. Although he memorized less than one-tenth of the content, he was impressed with three of the five questions before him, and he could answer the other two questions. After all, he has browsed through the entire "Song Xingtong", so no matter how wrong the answer is, he can get a little bit of it, right?
Sure enough, hard work pays off.

As for the "Book of Rites", his grandfather paid the most attention to it, and he had memorized it thoroughly before taking the county examination; his arithmetic was not bad, at least in the academy, his arithmetic scores were good.

Calculated in this way, he will surely get a good ranking in the retest.

He glanced at Du Jinning triumphantly, seeing that Du Jinning was still looking down in thought, he was even happier.

Hmph, so what about No.1 in the first test?He couldn't solve all five legal questions; as for arithmetic, how many people in a small place like Lishui County are proficient in arithmetic?How can Du Jinning's arithmetic level compare with him?

Thinking about it this way, Qi Siyu felt that the head of the court and Xiao Sanyuan had already waved to him not far away.

He collected his mind, polished his ink, and wrote the answer seriously.

Xu Chengyuan and Guan Jiaze happened to get a test room with a corridor, but there were a few people in between.When the two saw the title, they admired Du Jinning very much.

"Song Xing Tong" is such a thick book, and it contains a lot of content, and it is quite fragmented.It is impossible to memorize it in this day's time.So Du Jinning focused on them, and specially selected some laws and regulations related to the grassroots society for them to memorize.

She also gave them the reason, saying that even if these scholars were admitted to Jinshi and became officials, they basically started from the county magistrate.And when the county magistrate handles cases, those laws are the most used.

There is also a very strong evidence for her reason, which is the case analysis in the provincial and general examinations.The laws involved in those cases are basically laws and regulations that are closely related to the common people.

But now, the five legal questions are all in the key points drawn by Du Jinning.They memorized them all.

Xu Chengyuan and Guan Jiaze admired them, and quickly wrote down the answers on the draft paper while their minds were still clear.

……

With soldiers staring at him, Qi Siyu didn't even dare to stare at Du Jinning.Du Jinning did not have the slightest difficulty with the questions. She did the questions in a leisurely manner, ate and slept, and passed the re-examination very easily.The only fly in the ointment was that it started to rain in the afternoon of the first day of the retest. Fortunately, it was not too rainy, and Du Jinning was well prepared, so he didn't get caught in the rain.

It was Qi Siyu who almost got the test paper wet by the rain.Fortunately, he escaped in time, which avoided the tragedy.

The convective rain in summer comes and goes quickly, but the rain stops in half an hour.Du Jinning carefully disposed of all the water that was trapped in the tarpaulin on the top, and after confirming that there would be no more water coming down from it, he started to write the test paper.

She made up her mind not to hand in the papers in advance.After writing the test paper, she just sat there in a daze.She didn't follow the crowd to hand in the paper until the cloud board for handing in the paper sounded.

Qi Siyu was extremely irritable, because he was stumped by a math problem.Looking at Du Jinning on the opposite side, who was confident and unhurried, he kept comforting himself that the other party was just pretending.He still couldn't figure it out until the cloud board for handing in the paper sounded, so he had to write a random answer on it.

As soon as he left the Gongyuan, Guan Jiaze pulled Du Jinning and said excitedly: "Wow, you are so good. I memorized all the things you said yesterday, and I even passed the exam. If it weren't for you, I would have suffered a lot in the re-examination. I still don't know where it went."

Xu Chengyuan also had a look of rejoicing.

"I also guessed. After all, the court is paying more and more attention to the law. Haven't you seen that the law has been tested in both the general examination and the rural examination?" Du Jinning quickly explained when he saw someone beside him.

Guan Jiaze suddenly realized that what he said just now was inappropriate.If someone misunderstood that Du Jinning knew the topic and suspected her of cheating, wouldn't that be a scam for her?
"No, I guess it's for this exam, so I have read the law well in advance, haha." He hurriedly followed suit.

Du Jinning was most concerned about Xu Chengyuan, and asked him, "How did you do in the exam, brother-in-law?"

"No problem." Xu Chengyuan said.

Du Jinning guessed the question correctly, if he can't write again, he will buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

As for arithmetic, after Du Fangfei married, he found that his wife was better at arithmetic than him, which gave him a big shock and vowed to learn arithmetic well. Later, Du Jinning specially tutored him for a period of time, and his level of arithmetic was also high. Not low anymore.In the last government examination, he got four out of five questions right. This time, in the college examination, arithmetic is easier than that time, so naturally he got all of them right.

Du Jinning felt relieved, and waved his hand: "Okay, go back and take a shower, it stinks to death." He rushed to his small courtyard.
