After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family

The notice board at the county government office was packed with people. There were always so many people until about seven o'clock, when there were fewer people.

Some are worried and some are happy. The students will also be ranked. Among them, the top one is the best student, the truly well-deserved first place. If you pass the ranking, you will be qualified to take the imperial examination.

When the Song family went there, there were not many people, but Song Yu's name was quite conspicuous, just like her seat, first.

The names are arranged according to their academic performance, and the top students always attract special attention.

Among the three youngest children, Song Yu was the only one who passed the exam. However, Song Yu did not know that her essay was sent directly to Quanzhou Imperial Examination Hall in Mingcheng, Quanzhou by the strict female teacher.

That is the most authoritative and famous college in their entire western town, and it is truly a national college.

There are four major tribute academies in Shuiguo, namely Jiangnan Gongyuan, Beidao Gongyuan, Quanzhou Gongyuan, and finally the Kyoto Gongyuan of the aristocratic Beijing circle.

The whole family was so happy for her that they couldn't sleep all night. Yu Jie'er is so amazing.

Quanzhou Mingcheng Imperial Examination Hall.

Song Jushu did take the exam. The procedure was strictly controlled. It took three days and three nights to take the exam for the Juren, and nine days and seven nights to take the exam for the top scholar. So who could bear it without a good body? Three days and three nights would kill you.

The content is more than you can imagine, from the level of a student, to a scholar, to the current knowledge, all is shown.

Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingsuan, Tiejin, Zawen, and Strategy. The most important thing is the understanding and writing of the Four Books and Five Classics. Tiejin is the so-called filling in the blanks, Zawen is the so-called understanding of the articles of each generation of university scholars, and strategy is the most important, which is the insight and understanding of national policies, and coming up with corresponding countermeasures.

However, these difficult questions will not be asked in the examination for Juren. Only in the examination for Gongshi will there be such questions. That is the last examination for scholars, and it is the game for the top scorer.

The top scholar in the battlefield between literati is not the final destination. The final outcome will not be settled until after the Queen's palace examination.

Therefore, there are many scholars who study their entire lives but still cannot pass the examination to become a scholar, or who cannot even pass the first level of becoming a student.

Song Jushu fought alone in Quanzhou, but she was extremely calm in her heart.

But she was lucky. In addition to the food she brought with her, she also had her own seat. Each candidate had a very small cubicle, and except for going to the toilet, everything else was done in the room.

If you run out of food and water, you can borrow from the invigilator in the Imperial Examination Hall, and you must pay them back with money after the exam.

The unlucky candidates who were assigned to the toilet room felt uncomfortable because the toilet would not be cleaned until all the candidates had finished their exams. You can imagine the pungent smell.

Not only did it go straight to the top of my head, but I had to vomit and pinch my nose every time I wrote. The scene was simply unimaginable.

However, this is far from the level of the top scholar and there is no comparison at all.

A girl who was close to Song Jushu kept coughing and it felt like her lungs were about to come out. Some candidates' thinking was affected by her, but there was nothing they could do but to endure it.

Seeing the post appear, Song Jushu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had remembered it for the last month.

Apart from the girl's cough, the sound of writing could be heard all around.

On the first night, after Song Jushu finished writing an essay, she took a rest and calculated the time. She knew she would be able to finish it no matter what. If she stayed up late and was not in a good state, it might affect her performance in answering the questions.

Of course, what she could think of, others could also think of, and even the snoring of an unknown girl could be heard.

She put down her pen and waited for the ink to dry, then checked it once, then used a wooden weight to put down the written test paper, tidied up her desk, and fell asleep on the empty seat.

The girl who was coughing did not cough at night, but she vomited blood in the morning. The candidates around her did not dare to look up except for smelling a faint smell of blood.

The exams are so strict, and the examination system has been passed down from generation to generation.

The invigilator came over and asked her if she had anything to do and whether she wanted to give up the exam.

The girl shook her head and said.

"It's not a problem for me. I can get through it. There are still two days left. I have spent all my family's savings on this exam. I can't give up."

The invigilator frowned, glanced at her indifferently, shook his head, and left.

She didn't make any mistakes, she just had a cough. There was no reason to chase her away. But after the exam, I'm afraid her body would be completely ruined, and it would be difficult for her to move up in the future.

It was the next night again. Song Jushu had almost finished her test paper, except for tomorrow's essay review. After checking her test paper and finding no problems, she wanted to rest again.

"bump!"

There was a sound of someone falling to the ground nearby, and needless to say everyone knew that the person was the sickly coughing girl.

The invigilator asked someone to carry her out, but the girl refused to leave. She lay on the table and said she would definitely get through the night. She refused to leave because the time was up and she hadn't finished the essay.

Everyone admired her. It must be said that human potential is unlimited! The girl finally survived for three days and three nights.

On the fourth day, a look of no regrets appeared on his pale face, and he fainted as soon as he left the Imperial Examination Hall.

Not only her, many schoolgirls are like this, their legs are so weak that no one laughs at anyone.

Soon, a thin man and an old man ran over.

"Yanshu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Dad! You bastard, hurry up and lift your woman up. Let's go to the clinic."

The young man timidly lifted the girl's feet, and then they carried the girl up and down and walked away.

Song Jushu was in good condition. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the bottle of water her husband filled for her was special. Unfortunately, she drank it all.

After stretching her waist, she moved her arms and legs, and then shook her head left and right.

Then he staggered back to the inn where he was staying. At this time of year every year, the inn would be full and the room price would be twice as much as usual.

If you pass the imperial examination, the inn will not only refund your money in full, but will also give you an additional 20 taels of silver.

It has to be said that these inns are smart. As long as one inn produces a large number of successful candidates, the business of this inn will boom in the future.

They have a long-term vision, and so do every inn in the Imperial Examination Hall. However, I heard that the inn chosen by Song Jushu is not ideal.

The juren was elected six years ago, and he was just a juren who happened to be admitted, so many scholarly girls did not choose this inn this year.

Those who stay here are those who have no choice but to come here because other inns are full. Song Jushu chose this place because he thinks it is quiet.

The results of the Juren exam will be announced in half a month, and the results of the imperial examination champion will be announced in a month, so Song Jushu will have to wait for another half a month. In this world, one has to collect the results by oneself, and only the results of the exams after Juren are eligible to be delivered to the door by officers and soldiers.

The hierarchical system was clearly divided into levels, and all candidates who passed the Juren examination had to stay in the imperial examination hall for half a month to submit their results and documents.
