Chapter 26 Entry
There are quite a lot of candidates this year, with more than 200 people, so Li Si waited for more than an hour and all the talents entered the market.
Among them, Li Si also saw Guo Bixiang. This guy was still as arrogant as ever. He didn't know what he was doing when he came to the exam every year and failed every year.
But this guy probably forgot about him and Li Congwen. He saw them as if he hadn't seen them. As a result, how many bad things he had to do every day? How could he remember them? Li Si lowered his head and smiled sarcastically.
Although the Dai family army did not pass the scholar exam last year, they passed the county exam and are now a child. So Li Si couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief if he was not among the candidates this time.
For some reason, Guo Bixiang obviously looked fierce, but Li Si intuition that the Dai family army was even more dangerous. Although Li Congwen was caught by a sneak attack last year, he intuition told Li Si that he could not get along with the Dai family army.
After all the candidates entered the venue, because there were many candidates, they were assigned in advance, with fifty people in each row. There were paper lanterns in the courtyard, which were easy to see clearly, and they gradually moved in sequence and entered the venue by name.
First, the instructor bowed to the examiner and stood behind the examiner, then gathered to be a student in the ruling department, bowed to the examiner in succession, and stood to monitor the examiner. Li Si took a secret glance and found that County Magistrate Guo was standing at the second to last, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This shows that County Magistrate Guo cannot cheat in the county examination, but it is true. If he can cheat, the first one should let his son be admitted to the scholar.
Next, he went to the lobby of the central hall to receive the paper. After hearing his name, Li Si went up to take the paper and sang Sun Linshengbao loudly. After Sun Linsheng confirmed, he sang Sun Zimingbao in response.
Li Si took his examination card and found his own room under the leadership of the yamen runners. He looked at the small house. In simple terms, it was a temporary shed. Both the sizes and sizes faced north and south. There was an east-west gate with wooden fences and a large courtyard. The north of the courtyard was the main gate, called "Longmen". Behind the dragon gate is a large courtyard. The courtyard was just standing, which was for candidates to wait for the title of the college. There were three halls in the north, with an aisle in the middle. The examiner sat in the west room and called the east.
Li Si didn't dare to look too carefully, so he quickly lifted the wooden board and entered his own room. It was narrow and short. Li Si was a little glad that he was only 9 years old now and had not grown tall, so the height had no effect on him. He just felt that it was too narrow, about 1.5 meters wide, with only a table and a stool inside. There were three candles and a pen containing clear water to wash.
The conditions are really simple. Li Si thinks that taking exams in such an environment requires a strong mentality, otherwise he would not be depressed and could he perform well?
Alas! Li Si sighed, took out the prepared rag and started wiping the table. Fortunately, he had asked Li Congwen a long time ago and prepared in advance, otherwise he would be unable to bear writing in such a dusty environment.
The volume has red lines and vertical dots, each page with twelve lines and twenty characters, and two sheets of paper are used for drafting. Only the title and the words raised are also required to fill in regular script in the draft. Candidates are not allowed to write the answer outside the sealing line, and violators will be treated with zero points.
Li Si picked up the paper, as he had said before, the questions were very simple. The content of the exam was to post sutras. The so-called post sutras are simple modern fill-in-the-blank questions and dictation questions, and a page taken out of the Four Books and Five Books. As long as you read the Four Books and Five Books and Five Books well and have a better memory, you can basically pass the first session.
Not to mention Li Si's memory that never forgets everything. He just glanced at it and the answer came to his mind. Before the sky was dawn, Li Si closed his eyes and rested, intending to wait until it was dawn before starting to do the questions.
Li Si did not see it. A candidate sitting opposite him looked at him with contempt. The candidate felt that Li Si did not pay attention to the exam at all and was still dozing off in the exam room.
When the sky began to brighten, Li Si opened his eyes and began to grind the ink. He started to answer questions without thinking. After he finished the test papers and dried them one by one, he began to wait for someone to hand in the paper in advance.
Li Si did not plan to be the first person to hand in the paper in advance, so he should be more low-key. A 9-year-old child handed in the paper in the first place, which was really eye-catching.
In the eyes of the candidates opposite, Li Si did not know how to do this, so it took time to sit. Li Si noticed the look of the candidates opposite him looking at him from time to time.
I wondered why I had offended that person, why did I keep glaring at me? There was no way, his eyes were so good that I could see clearly how many acne there were on the man's face.
Li Si was not worried too much. Anyway, the two of them had four or five meters away, so it wouldn't have any trouble with him.
At noon, I found that someone had finally handed in the papers one after another, so Li Si quickly handed in the papers. It was really uncomfortable to sit in this room without moving, mainly because it was narrow, cold and depressing.
After leaving the examination room, because it was quite cold outside and the wind was strong, I had already agreed that anyone who came out first would go back to the yard without waiting.
Anyway, the courtyard was close, so Li Si went back straight away. As a result, he found out that Li Congwen had already come back. It seemed that he should have done well this time.
As soon as he asked, he did a good job in the exam. Li Congwen was in a good mood. Li Dahai and Li Guangwu were in a better mood when they heard that Li Congwen and they both did a good job in the exam!
The next day I was tested on the meaning of the Mo. The so-called Mo. It is a simple question and answer question based on the meaning of the sutra and the annotations. It is also answered by sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, or answer the meaning of a sentence, or ask to answer the next sentence.
In short, it means a deeper understanding of the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, and a more obvious assessment of memory.
Li Si completed it successfully and handed in the paper in advance again, but he still didn't make a first move. What Li Si was strange was that this time he actually saw Guo Bixiang handing in the paper early.
On the third day, the test of the Post and Mo Yi was tested together, but the questions were wider and the difficulty was naturally deeper. This was not difficult for Li Si, but this time no one submitted the paper in advance. He waited until the last moment to submit it, so Li Si naturally did not become that special person.
On the fourth day, it was a series of reviews, examining the meaning of the classics and poetry. The most troublesome thing about Li Si was poetry and essays. It was okay to be simple, but he could not do that kind of stunning poetry. After all, he had never learned how to write poetry in modern times, and the time he went to study here was still too short.
Fortunately, the title is quite simple, so he doesn't expect to write well, at least he has to write it in a rhyme way. Of course, it is impossible to be excellent. The level of his poetry and essays is just the same.
Chapter completed!
