Chapter 383

In August, the once-in-three-year autumn festival begins.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, I entered the examination hall for three times, three days each, nine days in total.

In the first test, there are four books, four classics, one five character and six rhyme or eight rhyme poem.

In the second test, there are two ways of five classics and one way of strategy.

The third test five current affairs.

The current policy is to combine the theory of four books and five classics to express opinions and opinions on the current real-time national conditions and government affairs.

In the imperial examination of the great Zhou Dynasty, when the Scriptures were known, the first test was to paste the articles, and then the oral test was to test the Scriptures and answer the three questions of current affairs; All Jinshi, try the five ways of current affairs, post a great classics, classics, policy all the first.

So the more you answer, the better.

Lu Yunkai has already thoroughly read the four books and five classics, and he is very good at trial poems. In the past two years, with the help of Jiang Mingzhao, together with the examination questions of previous years and the reports of recent years from the government, he is quite confident in the current affairs.

Song Xintong combined with his friends' experience in the civil service examination in his previous life, told Lu Yunkai that he should write in that mode, and also cater to the examiner's favorite style, which can help him avoid detours.

As for the rest, she was powerless.

No way, she looked at the four books and five classics of traditional Chinese characters, her eyes were full of flowers.

On the eighth day of August, song Xintong took wennuan and his twins to send Lu Yun to the Gongyuan early in the morning. The Gongyuan is in the east of the city, near the government office. A plaque with the word "Gongyuan" is hanging in the Red Gate of Zhongyang, which is magnificent and bold.

Song Xintong escorts Lu Yun to the door, where he will test for nine days with ink, ink, paper, inkstone and mosquito smoke. He can't come out these days, but can only eat the food provided by the Gongyuan.

Song Xintong was afraid that he would have diarrhea because he ate unclean food, so he prepared a portable casserole to boil water and cook.

There are also many dried meats in the basket. They are all washed and boiled in water at that time. Then they can be made into chicken soup to supplement nutrition in time., In addition, there are noodles and rice, which can be used to make porridge, noodles, or steamed rice with bacon.

Song Xintong was also told by the scholars who had passed the imperial examination in the academy that the food provided by the Academy was hard, and it was ready in the morning. One day, it was hot, and many of them were rancid. If the stomach was slightly bad, it was easy to upset the stomach.

"Come on, Dad." Wennuan cheers Lu Yunkai, who is carrying two big baskets.

Lu Yunkai nodded with a smile, and then ignored the strange eyes of the students nearby. Then he sorted them in order, waited for the verification documents to be searched, and searched them from head to toe to ensure that they did not carry any notes before entering the Gongyuan.

Lu Yunkai is used to searching for both students and scholars.

Only when the bodyguard found the casseroles, bowls and chopsticks in the basket, as well as all kinds of dishes and bacon, he took a look at Lu Yun and confirmed that there was no entrainment in the rice and noodles.

After entering, there is the examination shed of the local examination, which is an independent small room, one for each person, also known as the number room. When students and scholars sit at the table, there is no such number room. After candidates enter their own number rooms, the guards outside will lock the door, as if in prison.

The number room is very small. I eat, drink, sleep and answer papers are all in it. It's not as big as the climbing carpet that is arranged for wennuan at home.

After sitting down, Lu Yunkai slowly picked up his things, took out the casserole and cleaned it. Then he asked the bodyguard for clean water. First he boiled the water and drank a pot of tea.

After the candidates come in, the examiners will send the questions and draft paper. After taking the questions, the examinees will start to think about how to answer the questions. The next day, the examinees will send clean paper for the examinees to transcribe. It is also to ensure the cleanness and neatness of the examination papers and facilitate the examinees to read them.

After Lu Yunkai got the title, he simply looked at it. Although the title was difficult, he could answer it. After careful consideration, he began to write. After he had finished the four books, classics and poems, it was dark.

Put away the paper, ink pen and inkstone, then ask the guard for water and cook. What you do is crisp meat and green vegetable rice. It is stewed in one pot. The crisp meat is soft and glutinous, and the rice is fragrant, soft and durable. It tastes good.

There are also experienced scholars in other rooms who have prepared pots, but they don't eat as well as Lu Yunkai. They make do with rice, sauerkraut or noodles.

But it's also much better than the rest.

The rest ate dry steamed bread or pancakes provided by Gongyuan, drank cold water and made do with it.

"Brother, your meal is delicious. Give me some?" Whispered the man in the next room.

Lu Yun eats the crisp meat made by his wife. He doesn't want to share it with others, and he can't share it. If the patrolling bodyguard sees it, he will be scolded.

Sure enough, the patrolling bodyguard yelled: "be quiet!"

With the sound of the scolding, all the small sounds were quiet, only a slight sound of chewing food.

With rice, Lu Yunkai cleaned the casserole and chopsticks, burned a pot of boiling water, and then went to bed.

The next day, too.

On the third day, someone took away the previous answer.

On the fourth day, the title of the second scene was issued.

So repeatedly, until the ninth day, after taking away the third test paper to leave.

During this period, many people were carried out because they fainted. Some people had diarrhea because they had been eating food for too long. Fortunately, the man's cell is far away from Lu Yunkai, otherwise the smell of diarrhea would make him feel bad.

Of course, it's hard not to pull.

Let's think about it. There is a toilet with a lid in the number room, which has never been sent out. In addition, the smell after summer fermentation is even worse.

If it wasn't for Lu Yunkai's foresight and early exercise, he would not know how to spend the nine days! Maybe I can't go on like others.

On the ninth day, Lu Yunkai's scum had already come out, and the gray under his eyelids was deep, like a tramp, where he was as warm as jade.

Lu Yunkai had finished all the questions, waiting for the examiners to collect the papers. But it was about noon when the examiners finally came.

After collecting his papers, he signaled him to leave.

Lu Yunkai simply tidied up and went out. After he got out of the Gongyuan, he saw that all the examinees around him were almost the same as him, with a tired face.

Lu Yunkai looked around, and soon saw song Xintong in the open space beside her. She was waving her hand to him with warm arms in her arms.

Nuan Nuan yelled, "Dad, here it is."

Lu Yunkai quickly walked over and handed the basket to Daya. "How do you know I'm coming out now?"

Dabao said, "elder sister has been waiting for your brother-in-law for a long time."

Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment. "Don't you have to come?" He said that he wanted to hold wennuan, who always called his father. As soon as he got close, wennuan pinched his nose: "Dad stinks."
