Chapter 178: The Provincial Examination Ended, Shilin Exploded

Time is something that always has a thief-like quality.

When you care about him, it seems like you can't find him anywhere;

But if you don't pay attention to him, he can always cause you some losses silently.

No, when the candidates heard a bang in the Gongyuan, they were surprised to find out.

Oops, the time is almost up?

This...this...this question hasn't been finished yet!

That's right!

It's not a drama about racking your brains and working hard, it's just not finished.

The questions in the provincial examination have not only become more difficult, but also the amount of questions.

How can it be like a child's examination, allowing the examinee to think slowly, consider slowly, then write slowly on the draft paper, and finally copy it into the original manuscript?

No!

Candidates must figure out their problem-solving ideas in the shortest possible time and then write their articles on draft paper.

Then after checking and revising, carefully copy each stroke into the original manuscript.

Immediately afterwards, you may only be able to check it once, and then immediately dive into answering the next question.

There is simply no room for much thinking time.

If you have passed the provincial examination or are quick-thinking, you may be somewhat prepared or able to handle it.

But many people looked up in confusion at this time and realized that this time was not enough at all.

For a time, throughout the Ming Dynasty, countless candidates wore masks of pain.

However, time will not stop for a moment because of their hesitation, anger, and complaints.

It’s time to end the exam!

Under the scolding of the examiner, a candidate reluctantly put down the test paper, paper and pen in his hands.

He walked outside with a dejected face!

Looking at each other...

But I couldn't see a single smiling face. There were a few people who looked a little better, and the look of hardship on their faces was not that strong. They were also full of exhaustion.

Standing at the gate of Gongyuan, waiting for the door to open, they did not feel any relief at this moment.

After listening to the discussions of the people on the sidelines, they became even more painful.

Because they discovered that they had not finished writing about the topics that others were talking about, or they had not written at all.

If you haven’t even written anything, how can you talk about grades?

Why is this provincial examination so difficult?

Of course, the most puzzling thing is the last question.

"Brother Yunlong, have you written the last question Master Hu asked?"

"What kind of joke did Brother Zhongmou say? Why don't I write it? I'll write it! Even now when I think about that question, my head is buzzing!"

"Haha, when Brother Yunlong said this, I felt relieved. It seems that I am not the only one in trouble!"

"Brother Zhongmou, you see, after today, this question will spread all over the country, and the curse will definitely be higher than before!"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Haha, brother Zhongmou, why are you pretending to be stupid? Have you forgotten who the two people mentioned in the title are? One is Confucius, the sage and the other is Lao Tzu... Which one of them is easy to mess with?"

"Haha, Brother Yunlong is joking. I am not pretending to be stupid. I really didn't think of it for a moment. But I really don't know how to solve Master Hu's question. I have no idea at all!"

"Yeah, no matter how hard you scold me, it can't change the situation that I didn't write a single word in a question in the provincial examination! Damn it, I failed in the imperial examination this year!"

"If you fail, let's do it! Anyway, we are not the only ones who have failed. This year, Mr. Hu, I don't know how many people will be tricked to death by this question!"

"..." There are many, many more conversations like this!

Countless students are complaining, discussing, and swearing...

To put it bluntly, this provincial examination was much more difficult than what they had remembered and imagined.

It's really the kind that I can't even think of.

The questions Mr. Hu used to solve in the boy test were more or less related to the Four Books and Five Classics. Those with more knowledge would know how to solve the questions at a glance.

But what about this now?

Even when it came time for the high school entrance examination, no one in the room could come up with an idea that everyone could agree with.

That's right, I don't even have an idea.

Because, in the eyes of everyone, this question is really sick.

Whether you are helping Confucius or Lao Tzu, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the other party?

Okay, so why disrespectful?

What is the reason for disrespect?

To put it mildly, unconvincing;

To put it seriously, that is called rebelling against Tiangang!

How can I, as a Confucian student, criticize my ancestors?

Therefore, students who reluctantly answer the questions are really considering every word carefully.

This article alone consumes more time and energy than they usually spend on a complete exam.

Coupled with the difficulty and volume of other questions in the provincial examination itself, it is no wonder that they are not uncomfortable one by one.

But now everyone also came to a conclusion.

Mr. Hu has no conscience, otherwise he would not come up with such crazy test questions.

Finally, after inspecting the venue and collecting papers, Gongyuan could open the door and let these people out.

Outside the examination room, the servants, relatives, and servants who had been waiting for a long time were so frightened that they jumped up on the spot when they saw the young master coming in for examination.

Each and every one of them must have seen a ghost!

Look at the other people coming out one by one. No one can laugh.

You know, many of the students who are highly knowledgeable and talented actually know each other.

But at this time, those talented people who had been so suave in the past seemed to be lost, stumbling, and even had tears in their eyes.

He even murmured in his mouth: "It's too difficult! It's too difficult! This is a question that no one can solve!"

Everyone outside the examination room looked at the scene in front of them and were dumbfounded!

Isn't this a little exaggerated?

It's just a test, right?

Are these exam questions so scary?

Didn't you all try the taste of Mr. Hu's test questions during the boy's test before?

how?

Today, not only have I not adapted yet, but I seem to be becoming more and more unable to bear it?

For a time, everyone became slightly interested in the questions of this exam.

And on the day when the provincial examination ended, the crazy test question set by Mr. Hu had spread throughout Yingtian Mansion.

For a time, the entire Shilin was filled with curses against Mr. Hu.

There is no way, this time, Mr. Hu made too much noise.

How can Confucius and Laozi be put on opposite sides?

Moreover, Confucius and Laozi quarreled?

Where did this story come from? How could Mr. Hu be allowed to mess around in a sacred place like the provincial examination!

That's right, just messing around!

In the eyes of many old scholars and Confucian scholars, Mr. Hu just acted randomly or acted recklessly.

Mr. Hu's reputation is completely ruined!
