Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 634

"Candidates from Guangxi Province enter the venue." There was a shout from the front.

Everyone cheered up and looked forward.

Du Jinning used to be able to calmly stand by and watch how others were checking, but now that there are so many people, she can't see ahead at all, so she has to stand on her toes and look forward.

Helpless, I can only see the heads of people, but I can't see the place where the entrance is checked.

"What do you want to see?" Qi Muyuan asked in a low voice.

Du Jinning looked up at him, with an unnatural expression: "I want to see if it is the same as in the rural examination. It should not be necessary for everyone to take off their clothes. In such a cold day, if you take off and put on again, it will be troublesome if you get sick from the cold. "

She said it perfectly.If she only said the first half of the sentence, she would definitely be suspected of copying and entraining, and she was afraid that she would be found out if the inspection was too strict.Add the second half of the sentence and there is nothing.

In winter, who is not afraid of the cold.

Qi Muyuan raised his feet and looked there.

He is tall, so he stands out from the crowd.Lifting his toes like this, he can clearly see the situation ahead.

He put his feet down and said to Du Jinning, "It's almost the same as the provincial examination."

Du Jinning felt relieved.

Because of the need to check in front, the speed of release is slower.The people behind slowly moved forward, and when it was Du Jinning's turn to be inspected, it was half an hour later.

Qi Muyuan is a careful man, not careless like Guan Jiaze.In the past, no matter whether it was the hospital examination, the government examination or the rural examination, Du Jinning always dragged as much as possible to the back when entering the arena, and was unwilling to go in first.

Qi Muyuan noticed this situation. During the moving process this time, he intentionally protected Du Jinning from falling behind.

Seeing that Guan Jiaze just took off his outer robe just like the provincial examination, and the remaining middle clothes were carefully inspected by the yamen servants to see if there was any entrainment before he was let go, Du Jinning felt relieved .

After entering the arena and receiving the number plate, everyone separated, each looking for his own position.

Du Jinning was lucky this time, and he didn't get any points next to the stinking number.But it was winter at this time, even if it was a stinky horn, it was not as sad as Qiu Wei in August.

By the time the guards handed out the Four Treasures of the Study and the test papers one by one, it was already dawn.

For a big exam like this, the questions are generally not printed on the test paper, so as not to let too many people come into contact with the test questions, thereby leading to leaks.Instead, the chief examiner or deputy chief examiner will set the question on the spot.

Moreover, in order to prevent the examiner from drafting the questions and leaking them out, the examiner and the deputy examiner also discussed on the spot before writing the questions.

Du Jinning watched the guards walk over carrying the wooden sign. The title on it was: "Sui Han, and then the pines and cypresses will wither after knowing."

She lowered her eyes in thought.

The questions are simple, not difficult to understand, and do not require problem solving.But this is the most difficult part.Because the questions are easy, it is not easy to write well and make your essays stand out among more than 1 examinees.

Although the general examination is relatively advanced, its marking form is the same as before, and the first article is the most important.If the first article is not well written, it will not be accepted if you write later.

If the topic was simple, Du Jinning would not be embarrassed.She has done an analysis on the acceptance rate of the general examination. Generally, there are more than 1 candidates who take the examination, and the number of admissions is mostly around 300. The admission rate is extremely low.But this year's Enke is different.Because of the battle for the heir apparent, a large number of officials were dismissed, and the court urgently needed fresh blood to fill in the vacancies.

And according to her observation, Zhao He is an ambitious and courageous emperor. He is absolutely unwilling to let his power be controlled by aristocratic families, so he needs a large number of children from poor families to enter the officialdom and use them for him.

Therefore, there should be about 400 people admitted to the examination this year.

Du Jinning felt that with her own ability, as long as she didn't perform abnormally, or she was unlucky in the test papers and was randomly dismissed by the confused examiners, it would not be difficult to get among the 400 people.

But if you want to rank high, you have to do what you want.Although her ambition is not in Huiyuan, if there is a chance to get a good ranking, she will naturally not give up.

So here comes the question, should she vote for Gu Xinian, or for Jiang Tong?

After contemplating for a long time, she finally picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the paper: "The eve of Wuwu and Mid-Autumn Festival, I was a little tired, so I took a nap to rest. There was no warmth in my chest, and I realized it. When I woke up, It means the first night; I have listened to it for a long time, but I have never heard of it. I take my clothes out of the house, and the stars shine on me.

Du Jinning has always written very fast.Her thoughts were smooth, and within an hour, an article of about [-] words was finished.

The general examination at this time is different from the rural examination. The difference is that it is a certain amount of questions that are given on the same day, and then the papers are handed in on the same day.After handing in the test papers, you can walk around in the exam hall, go to the toilet, or take a walk in the narrow corridor, and you will not be stopped if you want to chat with the examinee next door.

Today's topic is two essays and one poem.

Du Jinning finished writing the first article, stretched his waist, and moved his body in the narrow test room, but continued to write the second question.

This question is more difficult to review, but it is not difficult for Du Jinning. She wrote the second article in the same style as the previous article.

After finishing the two articles, it was only noon, and it was time for lunch.

The examination is the first major job done by the minister who just took office in the Ministry of Rites, so he is naturally very dedicated.The food was quite delicious, and it was very cold, when the servants brought the food, it was still piping hot, which made Du Jinning very satisfied.What satisfied her most was that she no longer ate winter melon, but pumpkin instead.

While eating, she also thought out that poem.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time she was a copywriter, and writing poems was not her strong point, so she simply "borrowed" a poem from a poet in the Ming Dynasty and copied it on draft paper.

After writing these, she took a break and checked the articles and poems carefully to see if there were any taboos.When she found out that she hadn't, she began to copy the articles and poems carefully and neatly on the test paper.

In order to add points, she resorted to one of her secret tricks, which is to write "Guange Style".

Guange style, also known as Taige style, only appeared in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.Although it is relatively rigid and rigid, and not as lively as other calligraphy, it is standardized, beautiful, neat, and generous, and it is a style that students must write during scientific examinations after the Ming Dynasty.

She has practiced this pavilion-style calligraphy in private for two or three years, and now she has achieved some success. Anyway, it looks like printed calligraphy, very neat and beautiful.

This is the secret weapon she specially prepared for the palace test.
