Luo Xin took the exam papers and read them one by one.

The first is the classics and meanings, which are somewhat similar to the fill-in-the-blank questions of later generations, and the test is the examinee's familiarity with the Four Books and Five Classics.This is not the slightest difficulty for Luo Xin.After a hasty scan, Luo Xin was confident about Yiyi.Putting Jingyi aside, and then picked up the policy topic, a smile appeared on his face, which was much simpler than Zhou Tingyu's first county examination question.

Putting down the examination paper, Luo Xin stretched out his hand and yanked the brass bell in the compartment.After a while, a soldier walked to the door of Luo Xin's compartment.At this time, Luo Xin had already taken out the teapot, signaling to the soldier that he needed water.The soldier motioned him to wait, then turned and left.

Soon the soldier came back, holding a large kettle in his hand and gently placed it under Luo Xin's feet, and said in a low voice:

"Young Master Luo, I'm Captain Luo's soldier. You use this pot of water first, and I'll fetch it for you when you run out."

"Thank you!" Luo Xin also whispered.

The soldier straightened up and left silently.Luo Xin took out the tea leaves and put them into a small copper teapot, then took out the small stove, put a few charcoals on it and lit it, and started to make tea.While making tea, he carefully read Jingyi's examination paper from beginning to end, going over the answers in his mind.

At this time, the tea was already boiling, so Luo Xin poured himself a cup of tea, took a couple of sips, his throat that had been dry from the early morning was moistened, his articulate mouth remained fragrant, and his spirits lifted.

He could already hear the rustling sound of the brush falling on the paper, and knew that the examinees had already started answering the paper.Luo Xin was not in a hurry, picked up Jingyi's exam paper again, answered silently from the beginning to the end again, and then began to grind his pen and start typing.

With the answer in mind, write like a god.

With a little more than two quarters of an hour before the noon break, Luo Xin had already finished answering the Jingyi test paper.When answering the paper just now, Luo Xin was concentrating on it, but now he relaxed, and sighs came from his ears from time to time, it can be seen that this scripture question also stumped many people.

As long as you think about it, it’s not surprising that the question of the meaning of the classics is to randomly extract some articles from the Four Books and Five Classics. There are too many candidates here, let alone not being able to recite all the Four Books and Five Classics. There are even many candidates who have not read all the Four Books at all. Pentateuch.

Poor scholar, poor scholar.

There are too many scholars from poor families who simply don't have the money to buy a complete set of Four Books and Five Classics. It is impossible for them to read all four books and five classics. This is the difference between poor families and wealthy families.It is also the reason why the number of Jinshi candidates from poor families in the past dynasties is very small.

Of course, there are wealthy disciples who are lazy, and those who have low IQ and are stupid.As soon as these people are removed in one go or another, most of them will be removed.

Shaking his head lightly, Luo Xin began to check the examination papers.Checking the test paper was much easier than answering the paper, but Luo Xin only checked a few lines, and his face turned green.

During the three days of the exam, all candidates must stay here.The gate of the examination room has been locked and no one can go out.In this way, eating, drinking and lassing must be resolved in the examination room within these three days.Thousands of people go to the toilet in a closed examination room, you can imagine the smell.Even if you are far away from the hut, you can inhale the smell of feces and urine with every breath.

Luo Xin didn't smell this smell of excrement because he was focused on answering the test before, but now that he is relaxed, the smell seems to spread around him, lingering.

That's it, Luo Xin felt a little thankful, thankful that he didn't sit in the cubicle next to the hut, otherwise it would be no different from answering the test paper in the hut.

Rubbing my legs, I felt that my legs were numb after sitting all morning.After stretching and pushing, Luo Xin took a sip of tea, calmed down his emotions, and began to check the answer sheet again.

The numbness of his legs, the smell of feces and urine, and the psychological pressure caused by sitting alone in a cubicle made it gradually difficult for Luo Xin to concentrate.

"Ugh……"

Luo Xin sighed, sat up straight and poked his head out of the cubicle to look around. He saw many candidates around him frowning tightly, with a look of bitterness and hatred, and even saw Someone rolled two paper balls and stuffed them in the nostrils.

Luo Xin's eyes lit up, and he also stuffed two balls of paper into his nostrils, but within three breaths, Luo Xin took out the two balls of paper again and threw them on the ground.

This is really... I can't breathe!

Shaking his dizzy head, he tried to concentrate so that he could forget the smell of feces and urine and the numbness of his legs, and began to check the answer sheet again, but his concentration could not reach the previous effect.

Fortunately, he is now answering the classics and meanings, the test is only memory, and he has already finished answering, all he needs to do now is to check.If he writes policy theory based on his current state, it is estimated that he can make full use of his own strength, which is not bad.

As his two teachers Lin Chang and Lu Tingfang said to him, the exam is full of variables, and the status is one of the variables.

After barely concentrating on checking the answer sheet, Luo Xin made sure that there were no omissions, so he put the answer sheet aside with confidence.

At this time, it was already lunch break time, and soldiers began to bring water to the candidates, and the candidates were not allowed to leave the cubicle.Luo Xin felt that he wanted to urinate, so he pulled the copper bell, and a soldier took Luo Xin to the latrine.Before reaching the latrine, Luo Xin saw a long queue of examinees, each with their legs tightly sandwiched between them. At first glance, they were just like Luo Xin, who only focused on answering the papers and forgot to go to the toilet. They waited for lunch break After a while, my spirit relaxed, and I felt that I couldn't hold back anymore.

Originally, Luo Xin hadn't held back to that extent, but when he saw those candidates tightly clamping their legs and twisting back and forth from time to time, Luo Xin also felt that he couldn't hold back, it was really painful.

After finally going to the toilet, I washed my hands and went back to my cubicle, where I started to boil water and cook.This meal was hard to swallow, it was really bad taste in the examination room.

Luo Xin picked up the exam questions on policy theory, and there were two questions, both of which were required to be written in stereotyped essays.A big question, a small question.

The big topic is "My son said to Yan Yuan, if you use it, you will do it, if you discard it, you will hide it, but I am your husband!"

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Shuer Eleven". The vernacular means that Confucius said to Yan Yuan: If anyone can appoint me, I will promote the way of governing the country and the world; The avenue of governing the country and the world is hidden in the body.Only you and I can do this!
This question is difficult to say, but also simple to say.For simple questions, you don’t need to bother to go to Potou, the meaning of the question is clear at a glance.

The difficult part is that almost all candidates can understand the meaning of the question because the meaning of the question is clear at a glance. It becomes very difficult to write an outstanding article, which requires new ideas.
