Chapter 0052 Examiner

In addition to tables and chairs, there is also a bed for candidates to rest on. Not far away, there is a basket. Ye Qing walked over and looked through it, which contained a can of tea and six stacked meat pancakes. Although simple, it was not as thoughtful as Qianqian's preparation, but it represented the court's clear intentions.

Originally, during the founding of the dynasty, the country's livelihood was in decline, and it was prepared for poor candidates to be treated equally regardless of social status. It was highly praised and even moved to write poetry, but in this peaceful and prosperous era, it was just a formality.

Everyone is a child, once in poverty, there are many job opportunities once they have a formal position. As long as they are willing to work, a few meals are not a problem.

Ye Qing covered her food basket, put down her book basket, and listened to the faint noise. She inspected the table and found several brushes of different thicknesses on the table, with various models available for candidates to use conveniently. This shows the court's dedication and meticulousness to the imperial examination. The brushes were on the side, as well as the inkstone and stack of rice paper, all of which were distributed uniformly and had already been arranged here, waiting for the time to come for candidates to use.

In fact, at the level of a scholar, in addition to the need for standardized rice paper, one can also bring their own ink, brush, and inkstone. This tolerance is only for promoting creativity, just like how Earth's electronic sports come with a mouse and keyboard.

After three sticks of incense, all candidates are in their positions.

As the sun gradually rose, at the entrance of the rear hall, Lan Chongwen looked at the time on the sundial and shouted loudly, "The hour has arrived, and the exam will officially begin. Candidates, don't be impatient, wait for the distribution of exam papers

As the invigilator shouted, the gate was locked and even surrounded by military fences. They would not evacuate until the exam was over. From now on, no one except the invigilator and the invigilator were allowed to enter unless there were special orders from both the court and the court.

The silver seal on the plaque in the back hall shines brightly in the sunlight, suppressing the aura of the entire audience and forbidding all special things - it's not that luck is gone, it's just that it's hidden like a dragon, temporarily losing its ability to influence the mortal world.

The real person did not interfere with the normal process, so three invigilators and six invigilators' assistants all held exam papers and distributed them, and soon arrived at Ye Qing's place.

Distributing exam papers to Ye Qing is a deputy invigilator who is not very old, around thirty years old, and is in his thirties. He wears eighth grade official attire and has the right to oversee some of the exam venues.

Among many invigilators, the top three are all seventh grade invigilators, while these deputy invigilators are eighth grade, with different priorities.

The deputy invigilator was about to leave after distributing the exam papers to Ye Qing. When he happened to see Ye Qing's exam card, a bright light flashed in his eyes and he was secretly surprised: "Isn't this the protagonist of Long Jun's banquet

At this moment, he still has work to do, but he cannot say much and continues to distribute exam papers to other candidates.

After the deputy invigilator was far away, Ye Qing picked up the exam paper and carefully examined it. She just looked at it with a smile, but after laughing, she felt heavy hearted again.

Similar to the pattern of past lives, the first question in the three exam papers is still the Sutra Sutra. Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sutra Sut.

Ye Qing is proficient in reading the classics and has the ability to remember them without forgetting them. This is not a big deal. In fact, most of the young students who can pass the county examination can recite them fluently, but they need to pay attention to their handwriting and spelling mistakes.

Ye Qing put this one together and saw the second one, which was an analytical discourse on the way of sages. This was the theory of the candidates taking the entrance examination.

Ye Qing put down this volume and continued to read the third volume. As expected, the third volume was about a difficult problem in a certain place, requiring candidates to make choices, decisions, and discuss its principles based on the Three Classics and Five Classics.

Scholars are the backbone of the country, preparing for local affairs. They lack this ability, so what's the use of taking them?

Overall, these exam questions are much more difficult than the Boy's Exam, but for Ye Qing, he was able to pass the imperial examination in his past life, read tens of thousands of books, and integrate and accumulate knowledge, making him proficient in both the classics and principles.

I felt a slight joy in my heart, but I restrained myself and pondered for a moment. Then I took a piece of rice paper and quietly wrote.

At this moment, other candidates were still pondering or drafting, even Yu Fan was focused on brainstorming.

After the deputy invigilator finished distributing the exam papers, he passed by and was taken aback. He recognized the name and knew that "Tongjinshi" was writing like an iron anecdote at the Dragon Palace banquet, but now he looked the opposite.

Seeing Ye Qing's pen wandering on paper in a blink of an eye, with a surge of ideas, the invigilator walked up and glanced at him, secretly praising him, and left calmly.

At this moment, Ye Qing was completely focused and ignored it, just writing one by one. When she was hungry, she picked up the water from the book basket and used it. When she was tired, she took a break for a while.

Compared to young students, for the same three volume title, scholars emphasize on expanding and interpreting, not seeking to create their own ideas, but only seeking to cover all aspects without any omissions.

This is a deepening understanding of the simple memory of young students, with a huge amount of text. It is not only a mental task, but also a physical one, which often exhausts candidates and is more common when they have not finished answering the questions at the end of the exam.

This type of exam has ten times the number of questions for young students and five times the number for successful candidates. It is often referred to as the "plowing cow test

Simply put, it tests the foundation of writing skills, as young students are qualified to practice Taoism, while also testing their ability to build a strong foundation.

Many 'purebred' scholars who only focus on reading and refuse to even cultivate their foundations have been expelled.

After all, this is not the Confucian imperial examination, but the Taoist imperial examination. You have no cultivation and still want to make progress?

This is also the reason why Ye Qing went against her usual routine and started writing as early as possible. Even if she knew everything, she was in a hurry to complete all the chapters within two days, and time was tight.

However, as long as there is still some time left in the end, there is no need to worry about accidental mistakes or dirty papers. When these are checked, the old papers can be removed and a new one can be written and reinserted. This is a special permission for scholars to try.

Arriving at noon, Ye Qing finished writing the first volume and placed it separately, trying to avoid smudging the ink and handwriting as much as possible, to avoid having to rewrite it again.

Review this first volume on your own and be satisfied with it.

Each sentence has emphasis in the Three Classics and Five Classics. Generally speaking, quoting a paragraph is considered qualified, but being able to elaborate on it has its own advantages.

Ye Qing herself remembers everything.

In previous lives, candidates would also review old questions. There were always candidates who searched through the Tao classics and verified the quotes in the Da Yan Fu Jing outside of the Three Classics and Five Classics, and came up with a perfect answer that was more detailed than the standard answer.

Even as I was writing earlier, I had an impulse to include the content of the Da Yan Fu Jing, but I couldn't resist it again.

This will inevitably lead to doubts and questions about leaks, even if it is the authority of the county government, it must be verified, which will be a big trouble.

Now this level is sufficient, it should be word for word accuracy, and all three classics and five classics have been quoted, flawless. "With a plan in mind, he continued to move on to the second volume.

This is a discussion of the truth. In the children's test, which is the final question, there are only three questions, and it is two small and one large. At this time, there are seven questions, all of which are large questions. This test alone increases the workload by five times

Seven articles, two days of thinking, drafting, editing, and writing, extremely exhausting mental and physical energy

Even if one is talented in writing, if the foundation cannot be built, then they cannot hold on. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why poor educated people are rejected

It is said that many children from humble backgrounds write about spitting blood, which can only waste an exam opportunity for nothing

Looking back on my past life now, the biggest reason why I was able to climb up in three years is due to my great fortune, apart from the accumulation of knowledge from three years on Earth. Unfortunately, I am facing a great disaster, how can I withstand the crushing of the world

Thinking about it in my heart, I originally wanted to try my luck with the Jinshi essay, but now that I personally experienced it for the second time, I realized that this idea was ridiculous.

The seven major questions were hastily written, and each one is at the level of a jinshi. I'm afraid I won't even be able to become a top scholar. With this move, I'm afraid it will immediately alert the court and the heavenly court. Within three days, the imperial envoy will come on horseback to verify himself. If any clues are found, even the immortals cannot save him

It's okay, let's take the county test article, but we can take the best work and achieve the highest grade

Whether it can be done or not depends on the will of heaven

Thinking of this, I contemplate and ponder deeply. In my past life, I have read three thousand chapters, two thousand county exams, eight hundred state exams, and two hundred palace exams.

At this moment, as I recalled, insightful insights flowed through me. Compared to the child test, I can relax a lot. Apart from some taboos, even some clever words from the state test can be extracted from the text according to the situation, adding the finishing touch and enhancing the overall structure of the article!

However, at noon, the sundial was shining with a silver seal in the distance. Ye Qing frowned and gave up her idea, thinking to herself, "The county is testing copper seals, the county is testing silver seals, and the state is testing gold seals. The negative energy of the town luck is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid even the idea will be affected at this moment

Only when it comes to the palace examination and the jade seal is used, but the luck is hidden deep inside. Even at noon, there is no negative luck, and we have returned to simplicity

In addition to Lan Chongwen and Zeng Lian, the deputy examiner also has Mr. Yang Cai.

Yang Cainian is fifty years old, with a fair face and no wrinkles. At this moment, he walked over and saw a young man sitting in an examination room, looking at his paper. It seemed that he was also writing the first paper and checking it.

This person is dressed in luxurious clothes, with tied hair and a high crown. He has a calm demeanor and is not angry or arrogant. Yang Cai was greatly impressed and thought to himself, "This is everyone's demeanor. He is truly a young master of the Yu family

Yang Cai cleared his throat lightly and didn't say a word, just glanced at him. Yu Fan also glanced at him, their eyes meeting, understanding each other's thoughts, but keeping their own rules. Without saying a word, their eyes left in the blink of an eye.

Yang Cai smiled slightly and glanced at Yu Fan again, making a decision in his heart.

I was born at the age of eighteen as a child, became a scholar at the age of twenty-three, and passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty-seven. However, after nine years of examination, I was unable to pass the imperial examination. Therefore, I served as a high-ranking official as a juren and worked for more than ten years until I reached the eighth rank.

Just reaching the eighth grade or above, it's just a carrot and a pit that can never be crossed again. At one's own age, there is still hope to become a county magistrate and achieve the "right result"!

I need support to climb up the ladder, so I'm thinking of a way to rely on a backstage and barely establish a relationship with the Yu family. I'm worried about not having the opportunity to show off - in that case, it's not difficult to make some moves according to Yu Fan's words.

The world only thinks that the examination room is strict and supervised by real people. Even examiners cannot tamper with it, but they don't want to always have some means. Thinking about this, Yang Cai pondered for a moment and a spark flashed in his eyes before heading towards an examination room.
