Chapter 131 The Exam Questions Are Too Difficult

There are still two days until the township examination, and the streets close to the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province are filled with all kinds of strange gadgets, and the common people have started businesses, so it is very lively.

Talented scholars study hard in the cold window, and it is rare to have such a lively occasion, so naturally they are very happy, and the whole person is active, walking around.

One person is like this, everyone is like this, which adds a lot of vitality to the vicinity of the chief envoy.

At this time, a man wearing a hat and bowing his head walked past the gate of the chief envoy, and he looked in sideways.

In this street, he seems to be the only one who is out of tune with this world.

By the way, he has a full beard.

People dressed as common people hang around in front of the chief envoy, check whether they are selling in front of various stalls, and inquire about this and that.

Most of the test takers are not local, but county residents under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture. In order to be friendly, the stall owner patiently explained the questions to these guests from other counties.

When the questions were finished, these people left without buying anything.

The boss shook his head. There were indeed many such customers. He had no choice but to continue shouting.

The day after the exam, soldiers from the local guard came to control the security of the entire chief envoy.

Armor and sharp weapons are indeed deterrent to ordinary people.

For thieves who are used to seeing weapons, these equipment are almost meaningless.

The guards are responsible for the safety of the township examinations in several surrounding prefectures. Last time, a thousand households were sent to suppress the bandits. The number of existing people is limited, and it is really impossible to draw too many armed forces. Only two hundred soldiers were sent to one place.

In view of the experience of being beaten to pieces by the imperial army last time, the bearded man did not dare to underestimate these scrawny-looking sergeants, so he sneaked into the chief envoy very carefully.

He became a trafficker and entered the chief envoy with a load of fish.

Coincidentally, a merchant sent over a lot of food, and the chief envoy was used to this kind of flattery, and there were some in previous years, so the interrogation was not so strict.

The kitchen was too busy. After these people put down the food, they kindly helped. The burden in the kitchen was indeed much lighter.

Masters are very grateful to these kind-hearted people.

The township examination was held as scheduled.

With their hands behind their backs, the talented scholars walked into the gate of the chief envoy full of confidence.

Believe that the moment they come out, they are with glory.

Li Jin was surrounded by many talents, and they all hoped that Li Jin could casually compose a piece of music, so that they would be more confident in the exam.

Shooting, imperial, ritual, music.

Excluding family conditions, under the same circumstances, music is the most difficult. It’s not that you just come up with a piece of music, and the examiner will give you a good score. There are test questions for music. Everyone knows that music can directly touch the soul and move people. Emotions.

There are impassioned questions, and there are passionate questions, which are ever-changing.

Like Hong Tai's one-year rural examination last time, people could play a happy tune, and many people were stunned on the spot.

This year is the fourth year of Hongtai, and no one knows what the exam questions will be.

The examination questions for the music examination were drawn up by the Minister of Rites of the imperial court and distributed throughout the country, and the examination questions were escorted by the army during the period.

The examination questions of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are not so easy to guess, his emotions are ever-changing, and even he himself does not know what kind of examination questions he will prepare tomorrow.

A large number of merchants spend a lot of money every day to inquire about what the Minister of Rites has experienced recently, and then find out emotions that may be used as exam questions from some events.

It's a pity that it's hard to guess, but there are talented people who are willing to pay a lot of money for these analyzes.

"I've met Su Cai." Li Jin bowed to Su Huan.

Su Huan, who was standing in front of the examination room, returned the gift. He and Li Jin had met once, and they knew each other when they met.

The examination room is about to open, the body search ceremony begins, and everyone is lining up.

After entering the examination room, the first thing is to take a seat, and then whoever is named by the examiner will perform etiquette on stage.

The etiquette is very good, basically no one will be detained, if you have been in a good manner after entering the examination room.

Tried the etiquette, it passed quickly.

Everyone found that besides the three chief examiners who took the high school this year, there were also many famous Confucian scholars a hundred meters away.

They stood far away, but they were still secretly watching the examination room.

There were some of these great Confucians in previous years, but not as many as this year. The imperial court did not approve of this kind of behavior and did not strongly prohibit it, as long as these great Confucians did not interrupt.

Some of them came to see the children of their own families, and some came to see if there were any good young people who could be accepted as students.

This year is very different, many people come here just to admire the talent of Su.

After the music is finished, the composer needs to perform in public after the roll is closed. Everyone will supervise the cheating together. Those who play the wrong music, or those who can write but can't play, will be deducted points no matter how good the music is written.

Most of this group of great Confucianists are great Confucians of music, and they all came to watch Su Huan play the music with their own eyes.

"I've heard that Brother Su has a talent for music, and I hope to see Brother Su shock the audience with my own eyes." After the exam, Li Jin walked over.

This kind of seemingly flattering words are actually derogatory.

To say such things in public, if Su Huan's level is a little bit worse, I am afraid that the whole city will say that he is at the end of his talents.

Scholars, everyone is evil, killing people invisible.

"Brother Su, Li was willing to lose last time. He would like to see Brother Su win the championship again and live up to the past." Li Xu bowed.

Many people in the circle have heard of Su Huanle's name, but...

Everyone is a wit... All literati have pride.

Who would really be convinced in his heart?

Su Huan repeatedly said no, who would take it seriously?
Su Huan could feel that many people wanted to compete with him.

There are so many great Confucian scholars today, as long as they can compare with Su Huan, why not ask for a better teacher.

The bronze bell rang.

Talented scholars sat down one after another.

There are partitions in the examination room, everyone writes their own music, and they are not allowed to talk to each other, for one day.

The time is very tight, one day passes in just one swipe, especially during exams, time passes faster, and inspiration is not always there, many talented people who are usually good at folk art stumbled in time.

This requires a very strong musical background.

Exam questions now!
"Smell like happiness, think deeply about sadness."

"..."

As soon as the exam questions appeared, all the talents were blown away.

They don't talk shit.

Your sister wants to be happy and sad at the same time, why don't Master Shangshu write a song himself?
I think this is deliberately making things difficult for us. It is estimated that less than one hundred people can complete this test question.

one day...

One candidate pinched the air with his hands, and it was unclear who he wanted to strangle to death.

Half a day later, a talented man's hair was messy.

There was also a gifted scholar with a dazed expression, kissing each other with his shiny forehead and the pillars in the examination room.

"Give up the exam, give up the exam, I won't take the exam." Someone shouted.

The examination room was filled with impatient voices.

Li Jin bit off the end of two brushes, and there were papers all over the floor. The officials who passed by the examination room cast a glance and continued to patrol.

The examiners walked around the room and found that only a few people were calm, maybe not calm, but wanting to stay.

Su Huan rested his chin on both hands, and he had no idea, this test question is really difficult.

Am I, Su Huan, going to fail? ? ?
