Fields of Gold

The county trial was the first of the children's trials, scheduled for late February. Generally, the county will announce the date of the exam a month before the exam, followed by a series of cumbersome registration procedures. Fortunately, Rongxuan College has always been a collective enrollment, saving reference students a lot of things.

Tang Ancient Town's examination shed is situated next to the county yard, facing north and south, and is of equal size. Listen to the gentlemen, there are two doors on the south side of the exams, circled by wooden fences, and the candidates line up in two rows to search the entire body before entering. Enter the wooden fence with a large compound and the courtyard with a front door.

After entering the main entrance, the compound, this is where the candidates are waiting for their name. There are three halls to the north of the compound, where the examiners sit and name the candidates. In the north is a lot of simple multi-row seating, which is where the candidates take their exams.

Unfortunately, ancient times did not read the examination grounds in advance. Otherwise, Yu Xiaograss would really like to go to the ancient examination grounds.

Today is the first of the county trials. The candidates arrived at the examination site before dawn and went through a "search" to search their bodies. Each candidate has a basket containing exam essentials such as stationery, food, exam certificates, etc. The test basket should be carefully inspected to prevent prohibited items from being caught in it.

The Rongxuan Academy's examination basket was prepared by the Academy. However, Yu Xiaowei discarded the college food too monotonous, only rice buns and salted vegetables, and replaced the food in the quiz basket with specially baked peanut sesame biscuits and meat jerky. Add a copper hand stove to keep your hands warm when it's cold. The characteristic insulated water bag is filled with hot spirit stone water wrapped in cotton.

Each exam is for one day. The weather is still cold at the end of February. Yu Xiaograss hopes to have a sip of warm water by noon. I hear that a lot of weak candidates usually have good grades, but they don't play well as soon as they get to the exam, mostly because of the weather and food. Moreover, he was named Sun Shan because he was ill and could not survive a five-day exam.

Little Rock waved to the sending parents and the second sister and settled down in line. Before entering the room, "Searcher" took a look at the clothes with the characteristics of the Academy on him. He was slightly surprised when examining his basket. After repeated inspections of the quilt, water bag and handkerchief, he was allowed to enter the examination area.

In the hospital, there are already many students waiting quietly. Though there are not two in the day, there are a lot of paper paste signs in the yard that are easy to see. Little stones followed the students, gradually proceeded, and were named in.

The candidates stood in the courtyard, facing the examiner, waiting to be named in the lobby to answer the questionnaire, and went through the "singing bao” link. Every candidate who takes the county test has a raw bail to prevent cheating. After receiving the test paper, follow the seat number on the roll.

Once all candidates have received the examination papers, there will be a tour of duty to present the examination questions. The commissioner recognized the small stone and stayed in front of him for two more seconds. Little stone saw the question, after carefully considering the question, while thinking about the ink grinding, after the ink grinding, he began to answer the question seriously.

In the early morning of February, the temperature was very low, and the students stood in the cold wind for more than one hour, and their hands and feet became a little stiff. Pebbles took out a water bag from the quilt and drank two hot spiritual stone waters, feeling warm again. He warmed his hand on the stove before he began to scramble his books. With the spirit stone water providing the heat, he didn't feel cold at all, and the words on the answer sheet, as usual, were not stiff at all.

Today is the first competition, the examination is four books, two articles, five words and six rhymes of the test poem, the title, poetry and writing are all in a certain format, the full volume should not be more than 700 words. In general, the first exam can be accepted as long as the text is clear. The first entrant will be able to take the second exam. For little rocks, you don't have to worry about the first exam.

At noon, he stopped writing like a picnic. Yu Yu Yan ate the sprayed biscuits, chewed several pieces of pork jerky, drank a few more sips, and finished the article in a drum. It was carefully checked again, slightly modified and transcribed on the examination form. When he finished, he looked around and found that most candidates were angry with their hands and struggling with their books.

The temperature is lower today than it was a few days ago in some shady weather. Some candidates froze white and had slightly purple lips, while others sneezed and sneezed on the spot, which seemed less optimistic. Little rock's a little surprised. Why doesn't he feel cold? Did Second Sister give him the protective stone to work?

Little patchwork stone tied to the little stone's neck, he kept rolling his white eyes: the master lent himself to others at random, too little respect for the Divine Stone? Before coming to think of it, Yu Xiaoxue repeatedly advised him to take good care of her brother and said that it was also a merit, which helped him to cultivate. It barely agreed to it. To Little Rock, Yu Xiaoxue said this is a protective gem that passed the Master's light, and will keep him from going through his exams.

Tasty dim sum mouth, supplementary stone body protection, at the end of the exam field, most candidates came out shaky with their necks shrugged, but the little stone was more spiritual than when they went in.

As soon as he got out of the examination room, he saw his second sister. Little stone was like a shell. He rushed over with the test basket: “Second sister, what's the good food for tonight? I'd like to eat a roasted duck from the Pearl House. Shall we go get one? ”

Sun Runze and Liu Jinju also came out to rendezvous with their brothers. I heard that you can eat the roasted duck in the Zhenzheng Tower at night, they both expressed great anticipation, but did not report any hope.

A duck in the Zhenzheng Tower, both Tang Gu and Jingcheng are very famous. Now when the duck is not picked up in green and yellow, the roasted duck in Zhenzheng Tower is limited to 20 ducks a day, one of which is fired to fifty taels, still in short supply and demand. The two obviously don't think the rest of the grass has that resistance to roasted ducks.

Yu Xiaograss took the three little ones home first, and each had a cup of brown sugar and ginger tea to keep them warm. Hot on the kang, Sun Runzer and Liu Jinxian took off their boots, went into the warm nest, and later fell asleep.

Yu Xiaograss entered the back chef of the Zhenzheng building through the back door and when he learned that today's roast duck had been sold empty, he rolled up his sleeves and baked two of them himself. One sends a small stone to the academy to relieve the dean, and one saves the evening for everyone to eat. The sauce was brought back from the Pearl House, and the pastries were made by Yu Xiaograss himself.

Eat spray-sprayed duck rolls and drink fresh duck bone soup. Sun Runzerton felt alive again: "If I could eat such a delicious roasted duck, it would be for me to take the exam every day, I would. ”

Liu Jinxuan: “Every day the exam is not afraid to be burned!! Fifty taels of roasted duck and one duck. You pay only enough to buy one duck. Are you going to drink the northwest wind in the next day? ”

Four to five general county exams, two to three days apart from each other. It takes more than half a month before and after a county exam!

Fortunately, for more than a month now, three little ones have eaten well, frozen in the cold wind for a day, nothing happened. Before the next exam, Yu Xiao Huotong made three small pieces of delicious food, afraid they would not survive the five exams.

Each of the following games is seated on the basis of the previous score. The first little rock played fairly steady, not influenced by the cold wind and the atmosphere of the auditorium, and the results were naturally good. In his second game, the seat was closer to the examiner.

An instructor from the Confucian Academy saw the cute look of an eight-year-old pebble powder jade, laughing: “Zhao County decree, Tang Gu Town talent Jiji, such a small child came to participate in the children's birth test. ”

Zhao County ordered to know Yu . He laughed. "Look at the clothes. The candidate belongs to Rongxuan College. Since the gentleman from the Academy signed him up, there is some certainty. According to his seat, it looks like he did a good job yesterday. ”

Tang Gu's main book laughed: “The candidate looks like he's only seven or eight years old. Should be the youngest of the candidates? At such a young age, you can still achieve such grades. The Rongxuan Academy is truly famous! ”

Little Rock didn't know that he had been noticed by the examiners, but as on the first day, he wrote down the name of the school number and read the title in detail. I need to write four books today, one on filial scripture. The passage of the Holy Oracle should also be silently written, and the number of words should reach one hundred, and no additions should be mistakenly made.

Implicit writing is the strength of small stones. The little guy was already smart, had been drinking spirit stone water for over two years, had a better memory, and had almost reached the point of remembering. This is one of the reasons why Dean Yuan agreed to take part in the children's test.

Four books and the silent "Broad Training of the Holy Oracle" were captured by the Little Rock Hand. It only took a little more work on philosophy. Then we checked the transcript and waited for the scatterfield. The examiner above, seeing him finished early, impressed him a few more points.

In the next three sessions, one in five scriptures, one in law, one in five words and eight rhymes, and the first two sentences of the "Holy Oracle Training" in the previous session were written by implication. The second two scenes are full of scriptural verses, songs, etc.

Though poetry and songwriting are a little difficult for Little Rock, he has answered seriously and seriously. As for the quality of the content, the benefactor sees the benefactor.

Little stones in the exam also noticed that my uncle has taken all five exams. Uncle is under a lot of pressure, although all the food is specially prepared by the Zhang family, but he usually eats poorly, and his body is defective. Five exams are no different from suffering for him. At the end of the last game, he fainted as soon as he left the examination room. He came to pick up his Yu Dashan and Zhang family. He sat down in a nearby small restaurant and drank a bowl of hot soup before gradually regaining his sanity.

Yu Xiaograss also saw the scene, but it prevented Zhang's kind of blood-sucking ants from getting stung, and it didn't go up. At the end of the game, Sun Runze and Liu Jinyu's family came to take the exam, and Yu Xiaograss only took his brother home.
