This is the first main examination of the county examination. It can be said that there are only two core points, whether it is conservative or radical. With this basic point in mind, the four book questions and the historical essay questions are easy to answer.

Most candidates are like blind men feeling an elephant. Only those who have been close to the ancient magistrate can figure out the ancient magistrate's thoughts. This is because the steps are different...

But just as he was about to put pen to paper, three drums suddenly sounded in the courtroom.

According to the regulations of the county examination, the drum sound is to remind the candidates that they can eat and use the toilet temporarily and do not have to answer questions.

In ancient examinations, whether they were questions on the Four Books, Five Classics, or historical essays, they were all answered in classical Chinese. In particular, the questions on the Four Books and the Five Classics were complex and focused on being completed in one go. At this time, you need to be precise about the words, and pay attention to the rhyme and rhyme, so that the reading will be catchy.

Therefore, even if you are not a talented person with a lot of knowledge, writing an article requires careful consideration and careful consideration of every word.

For example, when Jia Dao, a poet of the Kuyin School, writes a poem, he often recites it for several days, or even more than a month, before he can gain anything. This is how the famous poem "The bird stayed in the tree beside the pond, and the monk knocked on the door under the moon" came from this. When I met Han Yu , Han Yu said that monks are better at typing than pushing...

There are only three test questions to answer in one day, which is not enough time.

At this time, the candidates, who were already anxious and could not wait any longer, quickly called the government officials and took them to the toilet to deal with the problem.

It’s noisy outside.

Bai Gui simply stopped writing for the time being. He put aside the questions from the Four Books and the Five Classics that he had just written, pressed them with plain paper, and then placed the test basket on top of the test paper, making sure not to stain the test paper. Otherwise, the paper will not be neat and tidy, and no matter how powerful the article is, it will be knocked down.

He was also a little hungry at the moment, but he had no urge to go to the toilet.

According to the experience of Senior Brother Wang and others, try not to eat meat or hot food a few days before the exam, and eat more cold snacks. This way, the sugar content is high, and it is easy to replenish your physical strength. It is also less likely to cause a bad stomach and no feeling of constipation.

Eat well, no more than a day or two.

In the food basket are some preserved fruits, mostly red dates and raisins, which also have auspicious meanings. There are also some snacks, including Polygonum Flower Sugar, which looks like a drumstick and is sprinkled with white sesame seeds. It is also a unique delicacy of Qin Province.

At the bottom, the master's wife, Zhu Bai, made a hotpot early in the morning, with golden crispy skin and thick, fragrant and soft flesh inside. Covered with linen, still warm. This thing is very hungry. If you eat one or two pieces, you won't be hungry for a whole day and it won't go bad easily.

It's just that when the Guokui was prepared in the morning, it had been cut into small pieces by itself.

Although the yamen officials would routinely remove them with a knife to prevent entrapment. But after this exam, how much food will be cut, who knows whether there will be odor transfer...

Besides, I was well-prepared, and the yamen officials generally let me go after just a few glances. Good for you, good for me, good for everyone. Once you let the government servants spend too much effort, you will be the one who suffers.

Bai Gui picked up the bamboo chopsticks, took a small plate of pickles, and ate the pot helmet with relish.

Guokui is just pickles, and paired with a bowl of gruel, it's truly a delicious dish.

"It's a pity that there is no porridge to eat!"

He shook his head and remembered a poem by Hu Hong from the Song Dynasty, "Oh, Master, the great sage, for seven days I have eaten quinoa soup but no porridge."

This poem comes from Zhuangzi's "Mountain Trees", which reads: "Confucius surrounded Chen and Cai, and did not eat fire for seven days." But this is not important. What is important is the next two lines of Hu Hong's poem. , "Don't wait for gains and losses, be self-denial and be filled with good deeds. There will be times when the wind and clouds change, and you can sing the song of the clear stream in your sleeves."

A very pretentious sentence.

The current situation in the late Qing Dynasty was turbulent, and he also wanted to be like what Hu Hong said in his poem, to wait and see the changes in the situation first, and then when the time is right, he could watch the world with a smile.

Step by step, reach the highest level.

This is the road to fame, the most convenient way!

This movie and TV series about the myth I saw in my previous life is very interesting. Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao traveled through the Qin Dynasty at the same time. Yi Xiaochuan became a martial artist and was appreciated by others. He is also the younger brother of General Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, while Gao Yao only knows how to cook and cook. The food was delicious, and he eventually entered the palace, was given the surname Zhao, and became Zhao Gao...

Many people think that they are Yi Xiaochuan in time travel, but in fact he is just Gao Yao!

If not dormant, it would be Master Ikkyu’s music.

He picked up the small bamboo tube placed in the bamboo basket, went out and fetched half a tube of water from the bucket, put it to his lips, moistened his mouth, and drank a little.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese people drank raw water.

Don't look at some modern works that praise mountain spring water, etc., but this is just for occasional drinking. The water porters do not need high temperature to kill viruses.

He didn't dare to drink more raw water.

Several candidates nearby looked at his calm appearance, some cursed secretly in their hearts, and some looked envious in their eyes, but they did not dare to wait for a moment with the pen in their hands. Some candidates had an idea and whispered: "Brother, Make a roll for me and give me ten taels of silver in return."

His voice passed through the wall and fell into Bai Gui's ears.

Bai Gui couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that he had encountered a cheating incident that he had never encountered in his previous life. That's right, electronic instruments and cameras from previous lives are everywhere, and anyone who dares to cheat can be seen at a glance.

Ten taels of silver was quite a lot, and Xiren had just been sold by his mother and brother for a few taels of silver. In the barren Zishui County, it was not difficult to buy several acres of good land and a few girls with these ten taels of silver. .

The patriarch Bai Jiaxuan married seven families, and the parents of the following families knew that marrying off their daughters was a lifeless business, so they basically exchanged them with a few stones of grain and a few bolts of cloth. These ten taels of silver can buy a woman's life!

But the next moment he called the official who was about to patrol back and forth.

"This brother may have eaten too much, choked, and lost his voice. Please send someone to see if he is okay!"

Bai Gui cupped his hands and said.

Regardless of whether he is willing to do this or not, the relationship is not clean now. Who knows if the tolerant who just inspected it saw it. But he also left some room for words. He did not explicitly say that this man wanted to cheat, but said that he was silent.

As for offending people...

These days, when county magistrates go to the countryside, they must be protected by soldiers. Most of the candidates who are rich and powerful have famous teachers and professors, and they have already inquired about the preferences of the county magistrate. It may be difficult to pass the government examination and the college examination, and it is not within their means, but the county examination cannot get what they want.

"you……"

Before the approaching candidate could say anything, he immediately reacted and pretended to be choked.

"Shut up! No noise is allowed in the examination room!"

The official came over and glared at both of them.

He didn't know the secret of this. He just thought that doing more would be better than doing less. The people would not take action and the officials would not investigate. Since he had not cheated yet, how could he suspend the candidates because of unfounded charges.

Soon, the next door became quiet.

After eating and wiping clean, he put away the remnants on the desk, spread out the test paper again, and answered the last historical question.

Putting down the pen is like divine help, and the pen moves like a dragon or a snake.

"The greatest trouble in the world is not having the power of the times, but seeking the name of broad-mindedness and generosity. The country is in a period of sluggishness, internal and external troubles, and its situation is in danger all day long."

"While the government and the public are enjoying themselves and are plotting to steal laziness, if they do not respond with force, they will not be able to recover, and the world will not be saved. Although the techniques of Shen Shang and Confucianism are not Taoist, the current situation is worthy of the excitement. It is inevitable that those who serve the country well will not dare to follow the rules and scruples, causing unforeseen disasters for the world."

"It's like a strong medicine, although it's not meant to keep you healthy..."

"After Zhuge Wuhou succeeded Liu Zhang and Wang Jinggong was in the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was said that they were weak and weak, and nothing could be cured except by applying the techniques of Shen Shang. However, Wuhou used it, and it benefited the party, and the officials and the people had a sense of title. Jing Gong used it Therefore, the poison brought chaos to the world, and the criticism continues to this day!"
