Chapter 92
"This candidate sits back." At this time, the guard patrolling their row came over and reminded the uncle of the country that if he hadn't been too big, they really couldn't afford to provoke him, and they might just take him directly at this moment. Throw it out of the examination room.
Uncle Guo curled his lips, if his father hadn't insisted on letting him take the exam, and said that if he caused trouble in the exam room, he wouldn't give him money, he wouldn't have come to suffer this bird crime!
Uncle Guo sat back happily, and gave Zhou Yi a hard look. This damn kid, knowing that he was hungry, came to covet him on purpose.
Uncle Guo opened his food box in resentment. They were all beautiful and exquisite snacks of various colors. It was okay to eat while they were hot, but now it was so cold that they couldn't swallow the cold food.
Zhou Yi ignored the wave of hatred he had inadvertently drawn, and after eating the noodles, he let the stove light up, roasted his hands, lit the candles, and began to answer the questions.
At about nine o'clock, Zhou Yi began to collect the test papers. Just in case, he hung the cloth bag containing the test papers inside his sleeping board.
During the inspection, both the quilt and the clothes were torn apart, but Zhou Yi already had experience. He specially brought a needle and thread, threaded the thread on the candle, stuffed the cotton in, and roughly sewed it so that the cotton would not Just fall out of the quilt.
Seeing this move, the corners of Uncle Guo's mouth twitched. He never thought that there are such strange things among scholars, and they even learn how to thread needles like women!
Zhou Yi couldn't care what the man across from him thought of him, a quilt was spread under it, and two quilts were covered on top, Zhou Yi lay down and sighed contentedly, it was so warm.
Freeing his thoughts, Zhou Yi soon fell asleep, and even snored a little, three long and one short, very regular.
To be honest, Zhou Yi's snoring was very small, but the examination room was already extremely quiet, except for the rustling sound of candidates flipping over the test papers, other times it was almost audible.
When most people are concentrating on answering the questions, the slight snoring sounds disturbing.
Uncle Guo sat across from him and grinned silently. When he saw Zhou Yi answering the questions at first, he thought how powerful this guy was, but now it seems that he is nothing more than that, which is quite weird.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was sleeping soundly, he rolled up the quilt and curled up to go to sleep. It's a pity that his quilt is good-looking, and it's comfortable to be next to, but a quilt can't care about the head and tail, trying to cover the whole body, the place under it slipped away again, and the cold wooden board made him shiver.
After a good night's sleep, Zhou Yi opened his eyes the next day and it was already dawn. However, most of the candidates answered the questions very late last night, and many of them are still sleeping at this moment.
Zhou Yi sat up and left the warm quilt. A gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver uncontrollably. He quickly got dressed and rubbed his cheeks.
After waking up for a while, Zhou Yi inadvertently glanced across to him, and saw the little crab huddled up like a puppy, with the quilt barely covering his upper body, Zhou Yi looked at him and shook his head, this guy, he is an old man without the wind and cold. Son of God. I really don't know why I came here, and I didn't see him answer the question.
Zhou Yi made up his mind, put all these miscellaneous things out of his mind, calmed down and began to answer the questions.
He made two articles on this day, each of which was drafted and then revised repeatedly before being transcribed on the test paper.
He felt that he was very good at answering the previous questions, but this matter is not certain. If others perform very well, he may not necessarily be able to pass the exam.
After completing the two articles, it was time to sacrifice to the Wu Zang Temple again. This time, Zhou Yi didn't cook the noodles, but just heated up the dried meat, pancakes and the like.
But even so, the eyes of Uncle Guo on the opposite side glowed green. This kid really got a cold today, and he sucked his nose.
Even Zhou Yi couldn't ignore the hot gaze from the opposite side. If it was possible, he would really like to give this kid some food, but the key point is that he can't, it would be too wronged if he was treated as cheating.
Zhou Yi had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see the pitiful eyes of the uncle from across the country, hurriedly ate, and began to answer the questions.
On the third day, he finished all seven stereotyped essays.
After checking it, he packed up the test papers and waited for the second test questions.
The second test is the writing of practical essays in the officialdom. All the judgments and edicts are taken in this test. There is also a part of the Tai Yue Law. The difference in this year's test is that a case question has been added.
It depends on the examinee's actual analysis and application ability. Some candidates who memorize by rote may buckle their heads, but for contact, it is not a problem.
He did it a little faster this time, and after finishing all the questions, there was still a whole day. Sitting dryly is the most difficult thing, so Zhou Yi took out all the test papers and checked them again. In fact, this is just for peace of mind. The imperial examination cannot be revised on the answer sheet. So even if Zhou Yi found out, he couldn't change it.
But fortunately, he checked it again and found no careless mistakes, for example, there were no taboos where he should be taboo... He had already done his best in terms of other content.
And Uncle Guo, who was sitting opposite Zhou Yi, was completely castrated at the moment, with tears and runny nose, like a proud rooster before entering the examination room, but now he has become a dead chicken. He lowered his head lazily, if not for the sound of sniffling from time to time, Zhou Yi would have wondered if he was frozen to death.
Why bother, and don't answer the question, but come to suffer this crime.
Zhou Yi shook his head speechlessly, waiting for the third test to be released. Just like the rural examination, the third test was on policy theory and poetry. Policy theory is like the Shenlun we are writing now, and the topic is about hot issues in society. After getting the policy question this time, Zhou Yi
was surprised, because the title turned out to be: "On how to eliminate refugees."
Bring it to the examination room. How did the refugees get here? In addition to natural disasters or wars, the main reason is land annexation.
And who is the big head of annexing the land, those nobles from aristocratic families, high-ranking officials, going back to the source, if they want to solve the refugees, they must solve the problem of land annexation, and why do the high-ranking officials desperately annex the land? Because they don’t pay taxes, This is a costless business, no profit, no profit.
It is also simple to solve the problem, that is, to tax the land of these people, and to levy heavy taxes!
But isn't this nonsense! Referees are these people, athletes are also these people, he will give himself a red card?
Zhou Yi shook his head, and was about to remove this wording. When he wrote it this way, those examiners, as people with vested interests, could have a good impression of him. Maybe it was because this article touched their nerves, thinking that he was a rebellious boy, and directly wrote it down. It is also possible that he will be deposed.
Wait a moment! Zhou Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. What does the examiner mean by asking such a question? Could it be a hidden reformer who wants to change the current land policy?
Does he write or not? Zhou Yi hesitated.
I wrote it, maybe it can be right for the examiner's appetite, then his ranking this time may be very good. But the disadvantages are also obvious. If the examiner is really a hidden reformer, his article will definitely be regarded as a confidant to the other party, and he will definitely be tied to a warship by then, and maybe he will become a million arrows if he is not careful Of the.
Otherwise, write some common compliments, and the policy theory may be reduced to mediocrity.
Zhou Yi thought about it, and decided not to write it. He had done well in the previous exams, and it would definitely not be a problem to pass the general exam. Even if Ce Wen didn't seem to be very outstanding, it wouldn't have too much impact on his overall ranking.
He has no place to stand now, so he will go out to show off the limelight, I'm afraid he won't know how to die when the time comes!
Forget about him, he just took the exam to seek an official position, as for the rest, I don't want to think about it for the time being.
After making up his mind, Zhou Yi quickly figured out how to write, and started to write.
In the examination room, due to the insufficient preparation of many candidates, many people fell ill from the cold. Especially in the last few days, the examination room was filled with the sound of sniffling.
"Sucking..."
"Sucking..."
Zhou Yi couldn't describe the scene after listening to it.
As for the Uncle Crab who was facing Zhou Yi, he had developed a high fever a few days ago, and the examiners didn't dare to neglect him, and directly carried him out.
Zhou Yi still doesn't understand what's going on with that child's brain circuit. When he came in without writing a word, he was frozen fancy.
When he was carried out, the guy was still crying, yelling something: "You can't go out, or you won't have pocket money." Yunyun, it seems that his brain was really frozen.
At this time, everyone's body has reached its limit, and many people are relying on a hard spirit to support them, especially those who are frozen into dogs. Every moment of staying in the examination room is no less than being tortured.
The nine-day and eight-night exam is a comprehensive exam that gathers mental, physical, and mental strength. No matter which aspect is hindered, it is a dream to get ahead in the exam.
In the end, Zhou Yi's mind was a little dizzy.
"Kang, kuang, kuang..." The bell for handing in the paper rang.
Zhou Yi was among the first to hand in the papers. There are three batches of examination papers. The first batch is in the morning, around ten o'clock, the second batch is around two o'clock in the afternoon, and the third batch is around six o'clock in the afternoon.
When I left the Degongyuan, I saw that the entrance of the Gongyuan was densely packed with people, and they were all here to pick up the examinees.
Some battles are really big, the sedan chair is the most basic, and there are many beautiful maids and servants waiting.
"Young master, young master..." At this moment, Qingzhu shouted while jumping in the crowd.
Zhou Yi waved his hand.
Qing Zhu and Chang Ping squeezed out from the crowd, and Chang Ping looked around: "Master Zhou, haven't you seen my young master come out?" "
I was the first batch to hand in, and my brother-in-law may still be behind."
"Master, I hired After getting into the carriage, let’s take you back to the inn to rest, and Changping and I will pick you up later.”
"Alright." Zhou Yi nodded, he really couldn't hold on anymore.
