My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 17 17. Hidden rules, everyone guarantees
Zhao Xuanqi walked into the examination booth.

The shed is made up of squares, which isolates other candidates.

He entered the shed where he was, and immediately found a brazier in the corner, with charcoal burning inside, and the temperature emitted made the entire space very warm.

"This…"

He was a little surprised. Although winter has passed and it is spring, the weather is still a bit cold. If there is no brazier, candidates will inevitably feel cold, which will affect the exam.

This brazier is generally not available, and it was obviously someone who specially arranged it for Zhao Xuanqi to enjoy this benefit.

A clerk came over and answered Zhao Xuanqi's doubts with a smile: "The invigilator this time comes from Shixi Academy. He has a deep affection for the academy. He specially arranged for us to prepare benefits for the academy students. It's just a small brazier. It's no big deal. of."

"I see, thank you very much." Zhao Xuanqi cupped his hands and thanked him.

The exam he took this time was just a "child student" exam, just the most basic exam. Basically, there would be no problem if the examiner arranged benefits in a place like this.

Because it’s limited to this, the examiner will not protect you whether you can pass the child test. If you can’t, it means you can’t, and you won’t have to let you down even in the child test.

The brazier is an unspoken benefit.

Sure enough, even after traveling through time, unspoken rules are everywhere.

He walked into the examination room, sat on his seat, put down the chopping board, and then put pens, ink and other things on the chopping board.

Not long after, the test papers were distributed.

"Children's exams are simple."

Zhao Xuanqi stared at the test paper with a surprised expression on his face.

Not because the questions are too difficult, but because they are too easy.

They are all part of the "Classic Test", which requires you to fill in the blanks. The answers are all in the books. As long as you memorize the books thoroughly, you can basically complete the answers.

The books that need to be memorized include: the Four Books and Five Classics, the admonitions of the saints, all the works of the four and a half saints, and more than 30 life works of the great Confucians. There are about fifty or sixty books, each book is as thick as a fist, and one book The number of pages is probably around a thousand. If you memorize all these books clearly, you will be able to answer every question easily.

There are dozens of questions that require reading and understanding, and explaining the meaning. They are all very classic questions and are very simple to explain.

There are no "Poetry Test", "Ci Test" or "Additional Questions".

"The answers to these questions can all be found in books. There is no difficulty at all..."

"And in terms of reading comprehension, it is basically all answered by various great scholars. I summarized it a little bit in my own words and wrote it according to my meaning. It does not deviate from the framework of the great scholars. I can definitely get full marks."

Zhao Xuanqi did not hesitate, picked up the brush and started writing directly.

One question, two questions, ten questions, one hundred questions.

There is no pause for each question, just go through it in one go and write down all the answers easily.

The answer is one thing, the handwriting another.

If your handwriting is not good and your writing is not neat, no matter how good your answer is, it will be marked back by the examiner.

Fortunately, after these days of studying in the academy, his calligraphy has improved greatly, especially since he pestered Master Zhou every day to learn how to write well, and specially developed his own writing ability, so now his calligraphy is very good. Beautiful, unique and has its own style.

This style is of course copied from Song Weizong, a great calligrapher in the previous life. It belongs to the Chinese style system, thin gold style.

Thin Gold Style is a font created by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It is a very unique calligraphy style in the history of calligraphy. Because it is very different from traditional calligraphy styles such as Jin Kaili and Tang Kai, it has a very strong personality, so it can be called An original creation in the history of calligraphy.

Apart from being an emperor, this guy is also very good at calligraphy. His representative works include "Thousand-Character Classic in Regular Script" and "Poetry of Hefang", etc., which are very beautiful.

The thin gold body strokes are agile and fast, and the handwriting is thin and vigorous, even thin without losing its flesh. The large characters are especially graceful and graceful. Because the strokes are relatively thin and hard, the brushwork is exposed, and traces of the brushwork such as running Tetons can be clearly seen. This is A rather unique font.In his first life, Zhao Xuanqi was very good at thin gold writing. He could easily write all kinds of beautiful characters with a ballpoint pen, but not with the calligraphy brush. After all, he had never learned the calligraphy brush.

Now he is familiar with calligraphy and can write in thin gold style again without any problem.

It just so happens that this type of font has not yet appeared in the Northern Wei Dynasty. This beautiful and neat font will definitely surprise the examiner, which is also a bonus.

Time passed by minute by second, and after most of the day, Zhao Xuanqi had finished answering the questions and filled up the examination paper to the full.

At this moment, there was still one day left before the end of the exam. During this day, he could only stay in the examination room, eat, drink and defecate.

Of course, candidates can submit their papers in advance, but Zhao Xuanqi doesn't want to be in the limelight.

Some examiners don't like candidates who submit papers in advance. They think they are too aggressive and don't follow the rules, so they will give low marks.

Zhao Xuanqi was unsure of the examiner's habits, so he decided that it was best to follow the rules, which were the least likely to make mistakes.

So, with most of the remaining day, he slept in the examination room and waited until it was time to hand in papers before leaving the examination room.

The clerk collected the examination papers and handed them over to the examiner.

After the children's examination, there is the next "academy examination". The academy examination is called the scholar examination, which mainly tests for the title of scholar.

The scientific examinations in this world are still somewhat different from those in China. The difference between the "Tongsheng Examination" and the "Xiucai Examination" is only half a day.

In other words, if you finish the child examination in the morning, you can immediately rush to the examination room and take the scholar examination.

Of course, there is a restriction. You need to have the title of Tongsheng to take the scholar examination.

The Tongsheng Examination has just ended and the results have not been announced yet. Naturally, the scholar does not have the merit of being a Tongsheng and cannot take part in the Scholarship Examination.

Here you need to have a candidate to vouch for you, so that you can take the Xiucai Examination without the result of being a child student.

The guarantee is very special. If you pass the scholar exam but fail the child student exam, then the exam is invalid and you will not be awarded the title of scholar. You can only be downgraded to the title of child student.

If you want to find someone to guarantee, you still need background. Without background, it is impossible for someone to guarantee you for nothing. Poor people can stop, and only rich people can operate.

From this, it can be seen that studying and taking scientific examinations are not something that poor people can participate in. Compared with wealthy families, the gap is as big as clouds and mud.

Zhao Xuanqi came to the college examination assessment point and reported his name.

Someone immediately came out from the crowd, took out the identity book, and handed it to the official in front: "I, Wang Chenzheng, have the honor of being a great scholar, and I will vouch for the student Zhao Xuanqi of Shixi Academy."

The official checked and found that there was no problem, so he nodded and let Zhao Xuanqi go in for the exam.

Zhao Xuanqi cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, senior brother."

The candidate waved his hand: "Hahaha, they are all from Stony Brook Academy. It is normal to help each other. When you become famous in the future, don't forget your senior brother."

Zhao Xuanqi smiled and nodded, and slowly entered the assessment point.

This is the benefit of the academy. The academy will arrange for seniors to vouch for you, so that you can take the scholar examination immediately after completing the Tongsheng examination, saving time.

Otherwise, if they miss this exam, students will have to wait another year to take the exam during the next exam. For those geniuses, it is a waste of time.

Of course, this benefit is limited to students with good grades, that is to say, only the top 20 students in the college can get it. It is useless for those outside the 20 to vouch for you. It is a pure waste.

Although it is said that asking someone to vouch for you will owe you a favor, but this kind of favor is not something you owe just because you want to. If your grades are too poor, you won't even have the chance to owe someone a favor.
