The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"The next one! Jiujiang Academy student Sheng Yuan enters the venue! Qu Bao aids the granary students to secure the knot!"

Sheng Yuan handed the test card to the guard, and walked to the linsheng case amidst the other party's loud singing.

"It's me." Qu Linsheng, who had secured a bond with Sheng Yuan, met people on the spot, and handed another entrance examination card to Sheng Yuan.

"Girl, please take the test paper." The clerk near the examination room nodded and called Sheng Yuan over.

Sheng Yuan quickly saluted Qu Linsheng, and then strode forward with a test basket.

The clerk in charge of distributing the examination papers looked at her badge and nodded with a smile: "Girls are at the age of untitled, and they should take the untitled question papers. Here, one examination paper and several drafts... Girls, please remember that the drafts also need Write in full, the test paper and the draft must match the text."

"Mr. Zun made a point." Sheng Yuan smiled and thanked the clerk for his kind reminder, and took the examination paper and draft with both hands.

Taking a look, I saw three circles printed on the test paper, which are where candidates fill in the information.

The three circles are arranged in top, middle and bottom.

Fill in the name of the candidate's prefecture, state, and county in the upper circle; indicate whether the candidate belongs to Wentong or Wutong in the middle circle; as for the lower circle, fill in which of the five classics the candidate is specializing in.

And under the lower circle, there is still a piece of paper sticking to it.

This floating check is for candidates to fill in their names. Next to the name, there is also a place to fill in the seat number.

As someone who had taken the big exam several times in the previous life, Sheng Yuan was familiar with the basic information to be filled in later when she saw this.

She had an idea in mind, and conveniently put the examination papers and drafts in the examination basket.

[Sister Yuan, there is a stamp of promoting harmony and Confucianism at the seam of the test paper!It looks quite serious!From this point of view, the test papers of the five exams are worth a hundred copper coins! 】The system held the concrete exam paper and sighed while admiring it.

Sheng Yuan didn't speak when he heard the sound, but just nodded, quickly tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the real examination room.

Because they are taking the exam in the county office intermediate court this time, they don't have to prepare a few cases by themselves.

Sheng Yuan went in and took a look, and was immediately shocked by the densely packed desks in the examination room!
When she signed up before, it was empty here. She just heard that the table would be full of cases, but she didn't see it in person.

At that time, Sheng Yuan thought that the yamen servant's words could be slightly exaggerated, but she didn't think that he really didn't lie to her.

Sure enough, her previous rehearsal was just playing tricks!

Thinking of the meaningful smile her father once showed, Sheng Yuan felt that she still lacked knowledge.

With a sigh, Sheng Yuan, who rolled his eyes around the mosquito coils, stepped forward and continued to walk in.

Following the prompts of the leading scribe, she quickly found her place in the fifth column in the first row.

"..." However, Sheng Yuan's good mood flashed and then fell silent.

The reason is simple, her seat is facing the examiner's seat!

Sheng Yuan put away all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and the draft of the examination paper, and put the examination basket under the desk, then looked up at the examiner's seat, which was arranged for the county magistrate and school inspector of Luo County.

"Sister Yuan, do you see that! There is a fireplace on the examiner's seat! It feels warm just looking at it!" Sitting next to Sheng Yuan, Xia Shuangjun sighed as he looked at the brightly lit examiner's seat in front of him.

Sheng Yuan echoed in a low voice: "This is the difference between those who have come before and those who are behind!"

She will probably like this comparison when she becomes an examiner in the future.

"Yes!" Jun Xia Shuang nodded, and she thought so too.

Seeing that the examiner hadn't arrived yet, and the candidates were still coming in one after another, Sheng Yuan wanted to say a few more words, but when she turned around, her calf seemed to be kicked on a bamboo pole. bamboo?!"

She was a little excited before, so she didn't pay much attention, but now it hurts to see: the seats in the examination room are a bit special, there are more than ten seats in groups, and each group is connected with bamboo.

The effect of this is very touching: as long as one person moves, the other ten or so people will follow suit.

"???" Which genius came up with this bad move!
Sheng Yuan was stunned.

"More than ten people form a group, and each group uses bamboo couplets?" Mr. Xia Shuang also exclaimed, "With this arrangement, if anyone makes a small move, the main examiners may be able to see clearly!"

"It's just a county test, so strict?" Sheng Yuan sat uncomfortably, always feeling the need to move the table and chairs.

She wondered how to deal with other people's disturbance, but Mr. Xia Shuang pushed her arm.

"Sister Yuan, look, the tea official is here!"

"Let's drink tea to quench our thirst!" Sheng Yuan looked at the busy tea provider not far from the examiner's seat, and whispered, "Although candidates are welcome, who dares to drink it? If you drink it, a red stamp will be stamped on your test paper, and you will be judged as cheating." No matter how well written the article is, it will be lowered!"

She said, took the opportunity to stretch, and told Xia Shuangjun: "Quickly stretch your waist! Did you see that the examination hall has set up a platform? After the examination starts, if the examinee looks around, stretches his waist and yawns..."

"Sister Yuan! Sister Yuan, we are here!" She had just finished speaking when she heard An Yu's cheerful call, and when she turned her head, she saw the three of them sitting down on the seats two rows away from them. .

Sheng Yuan nodded towards them, and continued what he said just now: "Yes, and... the behavior of talking to the surrounding candidates with their heads turned will be calculated according to the standard, and the essay will still be degraded!"

Xia Shuangjun looked at the cramped examination seats, remembered the cumbersome rules, patted his forehead and exhaled nervously, but still imitated Sheng Yuan and stretched his back vigorously.

There is no way, seat linkage is a test of their physical strength!

The pre-examination time passed quickly, and when the examiners entered, the examination hall suddenly became quiet. In the huge space, only the breathing of the candidates could be clearly heard.

"The rules of the examination room have already been stated before. If anyone violates the rules, he must have a copy of the seal, and the work will be downgraded!" After the clerk sang loudly, he informed the examiner that he was going to announce the examination questions.

Seeing this, Sheng Yuan quickly spread out the draft, dipped in ink and pen to prepare for recording.

She knows the method of publishing the exam questions of Da Chu.

There are two ways to publish: one is read out by the clerk; the other is to write the examination questions on the board, and then a number of small officials hold the board down and patrol back and forth.

When he first heard about the method of publishing the exam questions, Sheng Yuan felt that although the scientific exams were tough, the arrangement of some details was actually quite humane.

Take the method of publishing test questions as an example. Of these two methods, the former takes care of candidates with poor eyesight, and the latter takes care of candidates with slightly poor hearing. It can also be called comprehensive.

Sheng Yuan felt a few words in his heart, suddenly remembered the system, and quickly reminded it to prepare: "You will also remember later!"

With the help of the system, she doesn't need to use her eyes and ears together, she just needs to find the system to check.

[…] The system immediately agreed, but when it opened its mouth, what it wanted to say turned into a bunch of ellipsis.

The system found something wrong and jumped up to protest in the direction of the main system.

But what answered it was a big net.

The big net rushed towards the system, and after picking it up, it disappeared instantly.

"[The main system warmly reminds you: cheating in the exam room will be marked by the system; before the exam is over, thunder and thunderbolts will come!]"

"..." Sheng Yuan shrank her neck.

Say harsh words in a gentle tone, this main system is really tempered!
Realizing that he could no longer rely on the system, Sheng Yuan didn't dare to relax in the slightest. His ears instantly turned on the radar mode, his attention was tense and ready to go, a pair of apricot eyes closely searched the nearby cards, two chubby Sufficient manual power to wait for the exam questions.

"There are three questions in the main field, one is four scriptures, one is five scriptures, and the other is five-character six-rhyme rhythmic poems. Candidates, please get ready. The drums will be played for three times to start the exam, and the papers will be handed in in three hours!"

Listening carefully to the scribe's reading of the exam rules, Sheng Yuan's little hand clenched the pen holder tightly, thinking about the type of questions.

Although the stereotyped pattern has been adopted in the Dachu Imperial Examination, the format of the questions is still relatively free. Candidates can write contemporary essays, book essays, and essays.And such a diverse answer format is quite friendly to Sheng Yuan.

Just as Sheng Yuan was thinking about how to answer the questions, the drums for the start of the exam finally sounded.
