The champion is my son

Chapter 426 Provincial Examination ([-])

Censor Zhongcheng Shangguan Tuo, Minister of Rites Zuo Qingkui, and son-in-law Liu Hanlin sat around the fire, and there was an invigilator for the examination, so the three of them would naturally enjoy themselves.On such a cold day, sitting around the fire is the enjoyment.

"There are a few dark horses this year. All major academies have sent talents, plus the folks have their own masters. It can be described as a battle between dragons and tigers." Shangguan said to the two people beside him rubbing his hands that were heated by the charcoal fire.

"Lord Shangguan is right. They are powerful, but they have created a problem for us. If we are evenly matched, it will be difficult for us to judge." Zuo Qingkui said with a smile, pulling his lips. "What's your opinion on this?"

Liu Hanlin said that he was born as a number one scholar, and he is very knowledgeable. Because of his status, his position in the court is not important, and his technical content is low, but it does not reflect his excellence as a number one scholar.

"It depends on the situation. Han Lin believes that all adults have discerning eyes, and if there is a comparison of words, they will naturally be able to distinguish the superior one."

"Let's wait and see, three days is coming soon."

The main examiners of the tribute examination this time are not people who can be bribed, so no one can pass through bribery. It is not out of line for everyone to talk about the rules of judging, but each of them has someone who is optimistic about it.

For example, Zuo Qingkui, who is the chief planner of this provincial examination, naturally knows the background of every candidate.Especially Yunji, which he was particularly optimistic about.

Yun Jiben missed the last provincial test, and this time, he will definitely give a surprise.

Exams don't show affection, Zuo Qingkui is optimistic about Yunji, but he can't say it, which will lead to frustration of the fairness of the exam.

There was a good show of "eating watermelon around the stove" in the room, and outside, a group of candidates were shivering in the examination booth.Although the sun was shining, the test shed was damp after all, like a hole.Yun Ji was dressed in uniform for the exam, but inside he was wrapped in the fluffy inner garment that Mrs. Jiang had prepared for him, and he also wore wool socks on his feet.If it weren't for his height, he would probably be laughed at like a ball.

At this time, Yun Ji was leisurely writing the Fu. This Fu has a rhyme requirement, and the overall requirement is to rhyme with a flat tone and a winter rhyme, probably because of the weather.In general, it is very simple.

At the end of the afternoon, Yun Ji put down his pen.Writing with a brush has disadvantages. After writing a page, you have to wait for the ink to dry. He roughly estimated that if he didn't have to wait for the ink to dry, he would have to stop writing at least half an hour in advance.

After all, it is a provincial exam, if you fail the exam, you have to go back to your hometown and retake the state exam three years later, so Yunji tried hard to restrain his joy, and began to check carefully.He was extremely careful when writing the test paper, so he checked it several times and found no mistakes.This is a good start. For the remaining two days, we must not relax as much as the first day.

Yunji can still figure out the priorities.The so-called arrow shoots the head bird, Yun Ji does not intend to hand in the test until no one rings the bell.However, there are regulations in the examination room, such as going to the toilet, you are free.Many candidates are afraid that going to the toilet will affect the exam, so they dare not act.Yun Ji had been holding back for a day, and now that he finished writing, he felt the urge to urinate.

When going to the toilet, someone will follow him, one will follow him, and the other will stay in the examination shed.

This is also the reason why big guys dare not go to the toilet. After all, there are people staring at everything, and the more they stare, the more nervous they become.Who would dare to cause more trouble at this juncture?
Fortunately, Yun Jihe has completed today's assignment, so he doesn't need to worry.Under the eyes of the invigilator, he went to the toilet openly, and the two of them did not communicate during the whole process.

Yunji was also quite at ease.

He's not as shy as he used to be.After getting familiar with an environment, the thickness of the skin will only grow.This person, with a little more thick-skinned self-confidence, the whole person can become a different look.

Back in the test booth, Yun Ji put all the test papers aside, and took out food from the test basket.His mother prepared a thermal water bag, pies, steamed buns and other dry food for him, and even dried fruit... I have to say that his mother has put a lot of effort into food.His calamari was no different from other people's, and the examination institute clearly stipulated that charcoal fires were not allowed, so he could only eat bread and warm water to satisfy his hunger these days.

Why warm water?
The reason is that every candidate has a chance to fetch water every morning, and the water is naturally boiling hot.

I don't know if you are a fool in the examination hall, who would like to drink cold water in this cold weather?For the sake of the safety of the stomachs of all candidates, and for the smooth progress of the exam, the examination institute distributes boiled water every morning.As for food, definitely bring your own.

Waiting for Yunji to eat food slowly, many candidates here couldn't sit still.According to what he saw, the age span of the candidates for this provincial examination is quite wide, with some old Juren aged 70 to [-], and some young men as old as him.In fact, juren is also very popular in the local area. He really doesn't understand why those in their [-]s and [-]s want to take the tribute student again?So what if you pass the exam?The imperial court will never use such an old person again. In other words, there is no future if they pass the exam.

The higher the imperial examination, the more it is to select talents at the central level. For example, most of those who come out of the imperial examination will stay in Shangjing.

However, many people just want to stay in Shangjing throughout their lives, let alone foreign appointments.They can't wait to hang their wealth and lives on the pillars of this imperial city, how can they accept foreign appointments?
Being a foreigner is equivalent to throwing away. If you want to go back, unless the emperor thinks about it, he will work outside for the rest of his life until he dies.

Yun Ji shook his head, throwing away the extra thoughts in his head.If he is lucky enough to go somewhere in his life, his mother will definitely follow him to buy property.Thinking about it, Yunji felt that his aunt was the most serious aunt in history.

After eating, Yun Ji straightened the exam papers and rang the bell of his exam shed.Since the invigilator took away his exam papers, and it was still some time before dark, Yun Ji took out the leather cloak he prepared in advance from the exam basket and put it on his body. This was the quilt for the next two nights.After tying the rope, Yunji rested on the table, unable to communicate with anyone during the whole process.

The night was quiet, Li Qing stood in the dark and scanned the entire examination institute.She didn't come to see Yunji, but to witness the elegance of ancient scientific research.In order to prevent cheating, the examination hall is heavily guarded, but they only guard the ground, and it is still a blind spot for the roof.

I am also grateful for the architecture of the Examination Institute. There are ups and downs between the tile-roofed houses, which naturally form many hidden places.Hiding in the dark, looking at the whole situation.
