Chapter 196 Candidates: I Feel Like My Body Is Being Hollowed Out. We Really Don’T Know These Questi
Chapter 196 Candidates: I feel like my body is being hollowed out. We really don’t know these questions (sad)!
The government examination lasts for several days.
Candidates must stay in the examination room these days.
Eating, drinking, sleeping and eating must be done in the examination room.
After the exam is over, the exam room will open.
Candidates can then leave the examination room.
The temperature in April is not low, with temperatures in the teens and twenties during the day, and a bit cold at night, dropping to around nine degrees.
The sunshine poured into the examination room, bringing a touch of warmth.
All the candidates in the examination room scratched their heads and thought hard.
These questions are too difficult.
Most of them don't do it.
In an examination shed to the east, there are still some spider webs left in the corner. Small black spiders lie quietly on the white webs, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
This examination shed is in good condition on three sides with no damage, but the dark brown wooden boards look very old.
Chen Jing stared at the questions on the test paper and frowned.
"These questions are different from the questions Ye Xuan asked before."
His knowledge is much higher than that of most candidates.
Therefore, after carefully reading all the test questions several times, except for the first question, he realized that most of the other questions came from various historical allusions. 17 “I didn’t expect Ye Xuan to ask so many questions related to historical allusions.”
"Where does the first question come from?"
"..."
"The crime of possessing a crossbow..."
Chen Jingpo had a headache.
"Maybe Xie Jin can write this question."
"If I can't write it."
"Isn't the ranking in the government examination inferior to Xie Jin's?"
"I absolutely cannot lose to Jie Jin."
"I won third place in the last county examination."
"Lost to Xie Jin."
"I will definitely beat him this time!"
Chen Jing automatically ignored the dark horse who came first in the county examination. After all, the dark horse who came first was just an unknown person. He thought that this person was lucky enough to get the first place by chance.
But Jie Jin is different.
Xie Jin is a famous talented man.
Only Jie Jin can be his competitor!
Chen Jing thought hard about the first question.
Time flies.
At this time, various sounds came to my ears, and the smell of rice and food also filled the examination room.
Chen Jing woke up from his thoughts.
He looked up and looked outside. The sky was already covered with red clouds. Birds were flapping their wings and returning to the woods. As the sun set, the temperature dropped slightly.
"It's almost dark already."
He glanced down at the answer sheet.
Still blank.
He spent a day thinking about the first question, but he still couldn't figure out how to answer the first question.
Chen Jing's heart tightened.
If you continue to waste time on the first question.
I'm afraid these few days of the government examination will be wasted.
"Let's do other questions first."
Chen Jing thought to himself.
He started skipping the first question and doing other questions.
While Chen Jing was obsessed with writing test papers, all the candidates in the examination room were already making dinner.
Because of space limitations.
They can only cook in the examination room.
Of course, some candidates did not open fire, but chose to eat dry food.
Zhou Jin has been taking the exam for decades.
I am already familiar with the imperial examination process.
He even developed a good skill at cooking in the examination room.
Zhou Jin took out the pot, walked out of the examination shed, went to the water tank not far away to get some water, and then returned to the examination shed.
He washed the white rice in the pot with clean, clear water.
After cleaning, he poured some water into the pot. When the rice in the pot was submerged up to one finger, Zhou Jin put the pot on the fire and started cooking.
Gudong, Gudong...
The sound of water boiling sounded.
He put some ingredients into the pot.
The ingredients are cooked quickly along with the rice.
The aroma of rice and ingredients soon spread out.
"It smells so good."
Zhou Jin opened the lid and saw that the rice had been shaped and spread out in the pot. The white rice had pores formed on its surface. The green vegetables and the shiny meat blended with the white rice.
"It should be almost done."
Zhou Jin sprinkled some seasonings in, turned off the heat, took out the bowl and chopsticks, and started enjoying dinner.
While eating dinner, Zhou Jin thought about the test questions.
The test questions are really difficult.
In the past, he only read Confucian books such as the Four Books and Five Classics.
Although some time ago, I supplemented books on astronomy, geography, and criminal cases.
But the content of these books is completely different from the questions in this exam.
"well---"
Zhou Jin sighed, feeling that the food in his mouth had no taste.
This exam reminded him of the last county exam.
That feeling of fear seemed to come back again.
"How could Ye Xuan's questions be so difficult?"
After finishing the meal without any taste, Zhou Jin lit the oil lamp next to him. The large fluorescent light illuminated the small examination booth, and the dark yellow light shone through the gaps.
Zhou Jin sat back down and continued to bite the tip of his pen, looking at the test paper and thinking hard.
For a time, seconds are like years.
And this suffering will continue for several days.
Today is the first day of the government examination.
The ink gradually dyed the fiery red sky into black, and the light disappeared. Oil lamps illuminated each examination booth, and the dark yellow light shined through the gaps.
The lanterns in the examination room were also lit up.
The tutors and professors of the government schools carried lanterns and patrolled various examination booths.
Supervise the candidates.
The moon is at the zenith.
Sun Hao, who was only sixteen years old, rubbed his sore wrist and yawned.
It was getting late.
He put away the test papers and stacked the wooden boards to form a long and thin wooden bed. Then he spread the quilt, blew out the oil lamp, and took a rest.
The oil lamps in other examination booths were extinguished one by one.
Only a few oil lamps were still burning.
Chen Jing is still writing hard.
He has wasted a day.
Nothing can be wasted now.
Xie Jin has probably completed more than half of the exam questions now.
He is already far behind Jie Jin.
Gulu gulu…………
At this time, Chen Jing sang the empty city strategy alone.
He held his stomach and frowned slightly.
Only then did I remember.
He hasn't eaten all day today.
Chen Jing took out the dry food from the package, then took some water from not far from the examination booth, and ate it with the dry food. After eating it quickly, he continued to write furiously.
For several days, the candidates were in dire straits and suffered extremely. 467
There were not many questions in Ye Xuan.
However, these questions are too difficult for most people.
This made them extremely miserable.
The last day of the government examination came to an end.
Most of the candidates looked haggard, their eyes were full of black and blue, their cheeks were sunken, and their lips had no color at all, as if they had been sucked by a goblin.
The prefect, as well as the tutors and professors of the prefectural schools, were all quite worried about this group of candidates.
Beware of their sudden death in the examination room.
Their appearance is really scary.
More incense burns, scarlet fire comes out, and white smoke curls up.
The magistrate looked at Gengxiang who was almost burning out and breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost over.
If a candidate dies suddenly in the examination room, they, the officials, will definitely be held responsible. The examination is about to end, and it is none of their business if the candidates die outside.
More fragrant burning to tie the thread.
The binding wire was burned.
The copper ball at the other end of the connection suddenly fell into the copper basin, making a crisp sound.
clang--!
The government examination is over.
clang--!
clang!
The bell rang for the end of the government examination, and all the candidates were relieved.
it is finally over.
After handing in the papers, the candidates felt as if they had escaped from a life-or-death situation and their bodies had been hollowed out.
Most people are desperate.
Because the prefecture examination is different from the county examination.
I can still answer the questions in the county examination casually.
But they really don't know how to answer the questions in the government examination.
"Ye Xuan's question writing style is indeed beyond our ability to figure out."
The candidates all thought sadly.
