The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Because he decided to participate in the next year's Enke, he waited for Emperor Yikang's funeral to be settled. After Jiang's crying spirit came back, Lin Hai handed over the housework to Jiang's family. Apart from practicing kung fu and calligraphy every day, he studied hard and made progress every day!

Originally, during the period of National Filial Piety, these people are just banning alcohol for a month and holding wedding banquets for a year!But now that he has decided to take the exam, he will naturally go all out. Although it is normal for him to fail the exam at his age, Lin Hai thinks he will hit it with one blow. The exam is also nine days, although every three days After each exam, candidates have one night to go home and freshen up, but it is still tiring!

The general examination is a very important step for Juzi. As long as you are admitted as a Gongsheng student, it is equivalent to stepping into the officialdom, and it only depends on the size of the official.In the imperial examination, the elites were only selected from high-ranking students. In recent times, it has not been heard that anyone was dismissed for no reason, unless the results were false or the way was treacherous.

On the ninth day of February, it was the beginning of the examination.In order to ensure the smooth holding of the examination, the state machinery began to operate from the third watch on the ninth day of the lunar new year.On the third watch, the entire imperial city was under martial law, and the main passage leading to the Gongyuan was under martial law.Candidates unless they have an admission ticket are not allowed to pass.

On the morning of the ninth day, Lin Hai got up early, got into the carriage, and headed to the Gongyuan.

After arriving at the place, I got off the car and looked at the small square in front of the Gongyuan. At this time, nearly 2000 people had gathered, and they all gathered together in small groups and whispered.

The imperial examination is different from the current college entrance examination, and repetition is not allowed.There is no age limit for the imperial examinations. As long as you want to take the exam, you can take the exam until the day you die.Therefore, in the small square, there are many old fritters who have been in the exam for more than ten years.

Lin Hai searched in the crowd, and found that next to Luo Xiang there were several scholars who were also students of Six Arts Academy, and hurriedly squeezed past him.Anyone who has experienced the college entrance examination and high school entrance examination knows that the few minutes waiting for the opening of the examination room are the most difficult.At this time, it is better to find an acquaintance to chat with and relieve the tension in my heart!

But when I actually sat in the examination room, I felt relieved!Waiting for the test papers to come out, I only have the questions in my eyes, so there is no time to be nervous!

While chatting, they suddenly heard a burst of intensive drumming from the gate of the Tribute Academy, and the many candidates who were chatting suddenly fell silent.The Mao hour has come, and it is time to open the gate and let people go.From far away, I heard a loud voice: "The gates of the Toad Palace are open. I wish you all the titles on the gold list!"

Then came a louder voice: "Open the gate."

"Now, everyone enters the room one by one according to the number. No crowding is allowed. No noise is allowed. Anyone who violates the rules will be disqualified from the exam. Now, those who have been called by their names will come forward for inspection, and they can only enter the venue after they are verified to be upright." Although there are many candidates on the scene.But the officials at the gate are well-adjusted and calm.The scene was orderly.After half an hour, the office officials called Lin Hai's number.

Lin Hai hurried forward, verified the procedures, smashed up the food he brought, and searched his body.He is no stranger to these.I have experienced both the college examination and the rural examination.Now it's just going through it all over again.

After these procedures, Lin Hai was put into the Gong Yuan.Entering the Tribute Academy, all the candidates found their seats and sat down.Koshe was locked outside.

The conditions of the imperial examinations in recent dynasties have been much better than those of the previous dynasties. During the exams in the previous dynasties, they sat in places where there was no shelter from the wind and answered questions. It was cold in early spring, let alone answering questions.I'm afraid I can't read the written words, not to mention how many students are cold and nervous.Make a whole body sick.The imperial examination conditions of the current dynasty are similar to those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the previous life. Although the smell in the small cubicle is a bit uncomfortable, at least there are a few boards to keep out the wind and rain. Although Lin Hai is a bit unbearable, but compare it with the previous dynasty, Immediately felt satisfied.In addition, although candidates cannot wear interlayer clothes, the Jiang family prepared good materials for him earlier, which is much better than those students from poor families.

Lin Hai entered his test dormitory, and there was even a small bed in the test dormitory, and the quilts on it were brand new.First put away all the things I brought, and check the inkstone and brushes prepared by the Gongyuan on the table, and only after making sure that there are no mistakes, I started to make the bed.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not cut firewood by mistake. Lin Hai’s doing these two things seems superfluous, but he is not afraid of [-] but just in case. He has heard from Master Lin that it is because to prevent candidates from making small Articles, so the writing brushes and other things for the provincial examination, the palace examination, etc. are all provided by the Gongyuan.And one year during the examination, a certain examinee was so unlucky that the brushes he was given could not be used, and at this time the examination room had been locked from the outside, not to mention that he was unable to get out even if he was the chief examiner. The examinee had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and retake the exam three years later.

After a while, the test papers were issued.The test papers were bound into a volume, a total of five copies, which were the five historical essays in the first three days, that is, the first session.Each paper has five pages, and the five papers have a total of 25 sheets, which is very heavy in the hand.

Lin Hai took a deep breath and opened the test paper. Instead of looking at the questions above, he compared the test papers on the table first, adjusted the positions of the inkstone and paperweight, and made sure that he would not write while he was writing. From time to time, some bloody things happened by overturning the inkstone and polluting the examination papers.

Looking down at the test questions, Lin Hai smiled!He has done three of the five questions.Examination questions in this era are far less diverse than in modern times. They are basically sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, and there is a high possibility that they have been done.If you meet you who have done all five things, it can only be considered that you are lucky and others are unlucky.

Speaking of which, the imperial examination is not useless.Take Fengchao as an example, the imperial examinations are far less boring than the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty, and the examination questions are still very interesting.At this time, the model essays that appeared purely to cope with the exam have not yet appeared.There are not a few stereotyped essays with literary talent and thought.

The general examination is more interesting than the provincial and government examinations.Government examinations and rural examinations mainly test basic cultural knowledge, relying on memorization and understanding of scriptures.The general examination is different. If you pass the Jinshi examination, you can directly become an official in one step.When meeting a wise emperor, no one is willing to select them all to be bookworms.Therefore, the test questions of the meeting are more focused on the cognition of the current system and certain working ability.

Lin Hai first took the three questions he had done, typed the draft that his master had corrected for him on the draft paper, and then began to answer the questions on the examination paper, writing eloquently and writing thousands of words.

This exam lasted for three days, and Lin Hai was not in a hurry. He was hungry just after writing the first chapter.Putting the written test paper aside, he took out the dry food in the test basket that was crushed to the size of a thumb and ate it.Although the size of the test basket is uniformly regulated and the capacity is limited, Lin Hai doesn't have a lot of appetite, so Lin Hai specially asked Jiang to prepare a spicy pickle for him, which is just right to eat with it at the moment.

On the first day, Lin Hai could barely finish transcribing the three questions he had done before.After thinking about the other two questions for a while, I lay down on the bed and went to sleep!Because there is no such thing as handing in the papers in advance for this kind of exam, you can only honestly stare blankly in the exam hall after finishing the exam, which is very boring.

Lin Hai looked at the topic, knowing in his heart that he could finish it, so there was no need to hurry, so he finished it leisurely.

On the first night, Lin Hai couldn't fall asleep, and the snores of the candidates in the exam hall kept coming and going, as well as the sound of grinding their teeth, and the sound of sleep talking formed a symphony, and he couldn't fall asleep even more!

So when Lin Hai woke up the next day, he had two panda eyes on his face!

It took me a day to study the remaining two questions, and I finally got it done before the sun goes down!The next night was much better. It wasn't that there was no more snoring, but that Lin Hai was really sleepy, and he used his brain during the day, so he fell asleep quickly in bed.As a result, I got up late on the third day. When I woke up, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.

But Lin Hai didn't panic, he carefully sorted out the five exam papers, and then filled in his name, hometown, family background and a series of other things on the last page, and he was done!

He tidied up the things he had brought and put them in the examination basket. Lin Hai had finished tidying up, and waited for the yamen servant to collect the papers and let them out!

In the evening, the yamen servants finally began to collect the papers.

As many Juren slowly walked out of the tribute courtyard, Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, there are still two games and six days left!

Sitting in the carriage that came to pick him up and returning to the Lin Mansion, Jiang Shi's close maid, Qing Shui, was looking forward to seeing Lin Hai's figure, and hurried to the back to report to Jiang Shi!

Not long after, Jiang came out from behind, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said with distress: "You're thin! Your eye circles are sunken! These three days, Haier, you must have suffered a lot! I'm ready for your mother!" Hot water, food, you go back to your own yard to take a hot bath, and then have a good meal."

Hearing that, Lin Hai rolled his eyes, but it's not like he hasn't eaten for three days. Although the dry food is really bad, he lost weight in just three days!I think his girlfriend in the previous life tried everything to lose weight, even playing with an apple for a meal, but she still didn't lose weight. If it was so easy to lose weight, there would be no fat people in this era!

But hearing what Jiang said, Lin Hai felt uncomfortable all over his body. After all, he stayed in that smelly examination room for three consecutive days without bathing or grooming, so his whole body was really itchy.

He hurried back to his own yard, took a comfortable hot bath, and then devoured a big meal.After eating, he threw himself on the bed and soon fell asleep.

We have to get up early tomorrow!
