Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 185 The first scene is over

Su Mu knew that stereotyped essay writing was the most important part of the imperial examinations when he was traveling. Once he decided to take the exam, he had to write three or two essays every day. He would always hold a scroll in his hand no matter whether he was walking, sitting or lying down on weekdays. Sample essays to try to learn from each other.Thinking about thinking is all about breaking the topic, inheriting the topic, breaking the topic, and starting to talk.

It was only a few days before the exam that the theory and policy questions were raided.

As for the subject of stereotyped essay, I think I have researched it to the extreme.

Today's condition came, and I wrote all five articles in one breath.

When everything was settled, I looked up and saw that it was already noon on the third day, but I hadn't slept all day and all night.

The body is also sore, and the legs are numb from sitting, but the spirit is abnormally excited.

Seeing the densely packed words and sentences on the draft, Su Mu was taken aback after reading it through, but the five articles were so fluent that one could read them all at once.

After reading it, Su Mu was at a loss: Did I write this? How did it become like this?

When he used to write stereotyped essays, he had a problem. When he was writing, he knew the format and the general idea of ​​the article, and he knew how to write it.But as soon as I pick up the pen, I feel that there is a lot of weight, and I always feel that the sentences I write cannot properly express the meaning I want to write.

An article of [-] words or so is extremely painful to write, and it can't be done without tossing for two or three hours.

When doing these five questions, according to Sumu's plan, I wrote two papers that night, and dealt with the remaining three papers the next day.When it's time to hand in the paper, just transcribe the written article.

But I couldn't stop writing this one, but I finished it in one breath, and the writing style was still unusually fluent.

After staring blankly for a long time, Su Mu remembered a sentence he had read in a writing class in college: The so-called writing is just a process of getting familiar with words.When I first started writing, due to the relationship between pen strength and vocabulary, there are usually problems with words not expressing the meaning.As long as you write a lot, once you pass the writing style, you will naturally see mountains as mountains and water as water.

From this point of view, I have already reached the point: I can write whatever I think in my heart, and I can’t be confused by people, and I have a thorough understanding.

At this thought, Su Mu almost laughed out loud.

He also understands that the reason for this is firstly due to his long-term and extensive practice; secondly, it is because of Miss Wu who corrects his composition every day, so that his classical Chinese writing can pass the test thoroughly.

As soon as the text is passed, coupled with the modern scientific learning method, every gesture is self-contained.

In other words, from now on, Su Mu's writing ability has finally caught up to the level of an ordinary scholar.With this ability, no matter whether he is an official or a scholar, he will have the foundation to settle down in the future.

Otherwise, if you can't even write an article fluently, why should you call yourself a scholar?

As for this rural examination, even if he failed, Su Mu had nothing to worry about.Take ten thousand steps back, this time it won't work, and next time, with my current learning attitude and state, what are you afraid of?

Of course, in this exam, based on the papers he has made so far, he is already [-]% sure of passing the exam.

In the examination room, Su Mu was naturally not good at dancing, but the smile on his face could no longer be restrained, he could only just open his mouth and silently look at the sky.

The moonlight was bright last night, and today is indeed a sunny day. Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, Su Mu realized that the time for the first exam was running out.

According to the rules of the township examination, the papers for this session will be handed in this evening.If it is really too much to finish, the examiner will give them three candles to light up.If the three candles are used up and the paper is not finished, then I am sorry.

At this time, there is no way to go to sleep again.

The topic is not finished, and now is not the time to rest.

Su Mu ate some dry food indiscriminately, picked up a pen and carefully copied the paper.

Five articles, with an average of [-] words each, totaling [-] words.Even typing on a computer takes nearly an hour.This is the examination room, the handwriting must be neat and tidy, there is no rush.

Therefore, these [-] words took him an entire afternoon.

By the time the paper was handed in at sunset, the recording was almost finished.

Su Mu threw the pen away, looked at the neatly printed scroll, and let out a long breath, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart, and he couldn't lift his strength any further.

Two days and one night without sleep, changing to Iron Man would not be able to withstand such a toss.Rubbing my eyes, the sky and the earth are spinning, and my ears are buzzing.

After handing in the test paper, Su Mu remembered that he hadn't eaten any serious hot food in the past three days, and had to rely on dry food to maintain himself.

The questions for the second exam will be released tomorrow, which means that I still have at least ten hours of rest time.

Being idle and boring, besides, he was very satisfied with the exam, so he simply rewarded himself.

So, Su Mu took out the small stove from the test basket, lit the charcoal, heated a pot full of hot water, and made himself a cup of tea.There are bacon jerky, pancakes, rice noodles, salt, pepper, radish, cabbage and other things randomly thrown into a pot.

Naturally, such a large pot of dishes is not a cooking skill, and when Su Mu finishes drinking the cup of tea happily, the food will be cooked.Fill a bowl full, eat it, the entrance is smooth, and the aftertaste is endless, and the foodie Su Mu, who is fading out of his mouth, is almost moved to tears.

Smelling the aroma of the food, the scholar in Kaoshe opposite kept twitching his nose, raised his head and salivated at Su Mu, his eyes were full of sadness.

This man has been starving for three days, and he relies on drinking plain water to maintain his diet. His face is as pale as a dead man's, and he is about to lose his strength.

Su Mu was also a little worried. Looking at the pancakes in his test basket, he couldn't help but want to throw one over. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it.If someone finds out, things will be troublesome, so it's better not to be this bad guy!

Seeing Su Mu shaking his head and sighing, the man's eyes turned red, and then he buried his head down and continued to write the paper.

There are too many questions in the township examination this time, and when the papers are handed in, judging from the T-shaped test booth, only a dozen or so people have completed them.

The yamen servants were very upset, so they had to impatiently hand out a bunch of candles.

As soon as it got dark, the whole world was lit with candlelight, and the entire Gongyuan was shrouded in a dim light.

No one spoke, only the sounds of grinding ingots turning in the inkstone and examination papers being turned by hand from time to time.

Su Mu leaned against the wall, and when he heard the sound, his heart was peaceful, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, Su Mu was awakened by a colic, and he was very anxious.

He hurried to the entrance of the examination house, wanting to slam the trigger to ask the yamen servant to take him to relieve himself.

His eyes fell on the leftovers from before, because it was already autumn, and a layer of oily water had condensed on the leftover water of the soup. Only then did he realize in his heart that he had eaten lightly for the past two days, but today suddenly there was a lot of oil and water, and his stomach was a little bit bearable Can't live.

He also looked at the pancakes in the test basket, and with a thought, he took out a few and secretly hid them in his sleeves before he tapped the board to call the yamen servant over.

The yamen servant led the way freely, and when passing by the test room of the examinee on the opposite side, Su Mu threw the pancakes into it while no one was paying attention.

The scholar was writing a composition, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of green light, and he didn't know whether he was grateful or hungry?

However, this kid was not so pedantic after all, he quickly covered the pancake with his sleeve after seeing it.

It is a troublesome thing to relieve in the examination room. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, a bucket was originally placed in each examination room for the examinees to solve by themselves.But the township examinations are all on hot days, and after the ninth day, the smell is already unbearable.It only takes three to five days to fill up the bucket when it comes to hand sanitation. By then, it doesn’t matter if the feces and urine are everywhere and the flies are flying around. The real death is the outbreak of the plague.

Therefore, later, the examination room will set up a special hut for the occasional needs of candidates.

Generally speaking, there are not enough seats in the examination room, and there will be two empty examination rooms in the single office, which is best used as a toilet.

However, there are so many candidates in Beizhili this year, but there are no vacancies.

The yamen servants dug a hole by the wall, sprinkled lime in it, and asked everyone to settle it here.

This place is also called the Gray Circle.

Su Mu went to the ground to look, and by the light of the lantern in the hand of the yamen servant, he saw that the inside was full of maggots with big white tails wriggling, and his scalp became numb.

Frightened by this, Su Mu couldn't help but yelled, but he couldn't help it no matter what, the pain in his stomach didn't seem to go away.

Just squatting there like this, after about half an hour, I was still stuttering and not smooth.

The yamen servant got impatient waiting, and couldn't help laughing: "Master, you better hurry up, don't your feet feel numb when you squat like this, it's almost dawn."

Su Mu asked, "What time is it now?"

Yamen servant: "Yin time is over."

Su Mu didn't expect that he would sleep for such a long time, and smiled in his heart: No wonder I felt refreshed when I came out just now, I slept so comfortably this time!

Looking up, the candles in the examination room were extinguished one by one, and the three candles were also burned to the end.

I don't know if the candidates whose candles have been extinguished have finished their papers.

At this time, suddenly, there was a night-snack cry from a distance: "My test paper, my test paper, why can't I see it!"

A scholar ran out of the exam house naked, crying and laughing loudly.

But pinching his throat, it was clearly a female voice.

Su Mu looked up, and this naked scholar was the one opposite him.

Hearing this creepy scream, someone suddenly shouted: "The ghost is here, the ghost is here!"

There was an explosion in the examination room, and a group of pale-faced scholars ran out of the hall, yelling and about to run outside.

The yamen servants were shocked, and rushed up with sticks and beat them violently. In the night, several scholars fell to the ground with blood on their heads, motionless.

Su Mu was taken aback by this, and immediately slumped thousands of miles, feeling so hearty.

After a while, the chief examiner, deputy chief examiner and others all came with a large group of people, and finally drove the scholar back to the examination room.

Because Su Mu has been squatting in the gray circle, he just avoided this chaos, otherwise he might be implicated and suffer a few blows.

However, in the dazzling lantern torches of the large group of people, his bare buttocks were very eye-catching, and Sven swept the floor.

Of course, if Su Mu didn't win the exam, it would be a joke.If you win, it's an elegant thing, a romantic charm that won't let Wang Meng touch the lice and talk about it.
