Chapter 124 The General Examination Begins
Qin Wei's previous idea of taking Qin to see Wuyi Lane, Xuanwu Lake, Jiming Temple, and visit the Qinhuai River at night all came to nothing.
From this day on, Qin Guan entered a hard and hellish learning mode.
Two articles on scriptures every day, one article on policy every two days, plus reading and practicing swordsmanship, his time is fully scheduled, and he looks like he is sprinting for the final 100 days of the college entrance examination.
In February, Lin Yuan, Shen Yichen, and Zhu Peng arrived in the capital one after another. They came to see Qin Guan, but Qin Guan only asked for a day off with his father Qin Zhang to get together with these same students, and then studied hard in seclusion again.
However, during this period of time, Qin Guan's knowledge was also improving rapidly. Qin Zhang came up with questions. Through studying, and drawing on the answer ideas and writing styles of previous jinshi, Qin Guan was able to write a satisfactory article on the meaning and policy of the classics. .
After reading Qin Guan's classics and strategies, Qin Zhang's final comment was that if the current progress rate is followed, he is expected to pass the Jinshi examination in three years. This year, he should go and practice.
It seems that dad has no confidence in him anymore.
Time flies and it's March 18th, when the general examination begins.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Qin family got up early to prepare. Under the supervision of Qin Zhang, the servants prepared things for Qin Guan and Qin Wei.
The examination takes three days and two nights. During this period, you need to prepare everything by yourself. The examination room only provides a brazier and boiling water.
It's mid-March now, and it's warm and cold at first, with temperatures in the teens during the day and only seven or eight degrees at night, so I need to prepare slightly thicker bedding.
After adding a large food box, the four treasures of the study, and various sundries, each person prepared a lot of things, and Qin Guan felt as if he was moving.
But no one dares to have objections. It doesn’t matter if you have objections. You don’t have to take the exam.
Saying goodbye to Qin Zhang, Qin Guan and Qin Wei got on the carriage and rushed to Jinling Gongyuan. The carriage stopped far away. It was only five o'clock and the sky was still dark. You could still see the morning star when you looked up, but there were already people standing outside the Gongyuan. When the crowd was full, the soldiers began to maintain order, which was obviously much stricter than the college and rural examinations.
The candidates lined up outside. Although there were more than 2,000 people, there was no chaos at all. At about eight o'clock, an official in red robe came out and said loudly: "You are all candidates for the imperial examination. The rules of the imperial examination are Everyone should understand that if there is any embedded writing, once it is found out, it will be immediately sent to the competent authority for questioning, and the title of the candidate will be revoked, and he will never be allowed to take part in the scientific examination again in the future."
"So I would like to advise you that if you fail the exam this year, just take the exam again next time. Don't miss out on your bright future because of cheating."
After the red-robed official finished speaking, he returned to the tribute courtyard. After about a tea time, the red-robed official came out again, followed by several green-robed officials and a large number of petty officials. After setting up the table, he said: "Let's start. Check your name to enter."
The first item is to check the identity of the card strictly.
The second item is to search personal belongings.
There was no problem with Yan Ming's integrity. The records this time were much more detailed than those in the college exam, so I passed it easily.
Searching the belongings was much more troublesome. All possible places where paper and writing were hidden were searched. The bedding was opened again. This time, no one paid attention to Qin Guan's two mobile phones. He saw two Mo Yu I put the same thing in the pencil case, looked through it casually and put it back.
When checking the food and drink, the green-robed official looked at Qin Guan a few more times and asked casually: "You have prepared a lot of food. You even have hot pot, sliced meat and various vegetables. You have prepared enough."
Everything."
Qin Guan smiled: "I have to spend three days and two nights in the examination hall. I'm afraid it won't be easy if I don't prepare more."
After passing these two items, Qin Guan carried his belongings and entered the gate of Gongyuan. After entering, the last item of the search was a body search.
This time is not like the hospital examination or the provincial examination. It is just about undressing and touching the body. This time you have to take off all your clothes and leave no underwear for you. You will be naked under the eyes of the inspection officials. Even your mouth and hair will be inspected.
.
The most disgusting thing is that these guys even have to open the back to take a look, just barely come to visit.
After the inspection was finally completed, Qin Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After receiving his examination card, a clerk came over and took him to his examination room. Qin Guan found that the examination room in Jinling Gongyuan was better than the examination room in Jiangnan Examination Academy. Of course, this was also a relative term.
The layout of Jinling Gongyuan is similar to that of Jiangnan Examination Yuan. There is also a large board used as seats and beds, and a large board used as a table for answering questions. However, the space of the examination room of Jinling Gongyuan is larger than that of Jiangnan Examination Yuan. One examination room
It was about 1.8 meters long. Qin Guan tried it and could just stretch his legs, and there was a door outside.
The gong rang and the examination room closed and locked.
The officials began to distribute the examination papers. After Qin Guan received the examination papers, he read the examination questions carefully. He read five questions on the meaning of scriptures and two questions on policy issues. Qin Guan wrinkled every day.
This examination is really much more difficult than the provincial examination. Among these questions on classics and meanings, there are only three questions in Qin Guan's mobile app, but the other two questions have no words at all.
As for the policy topic, it is even more impossible.
Qin Guan tried to think about it, and he found that if he answered these questions at his true level, the chance of passing the exam would be less than one thousandth.
Well, it's basically impossible.
Qin Guan was somewhat thankful for his decision. If he hadn't made preparations, he would have failed the exam this time. He would have had to stay here for three years and take the exam again next time.
At the same time, he also thanked the examination system of the Kingdom of Zhao. If the examination system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the real world were followed, the three general examinations would be taken separately, with a larger amount of questions. The eight questions on classics and meanings would be tested for two days and one night, and then given two days to rest.
On the next day, I will take the policy theory exam for two days and one night, then let it go for two days, and then the poetry exam.
If that were the case, there would be no way Qin Guan's plan could be implemented.
Although taking exams for three days and two nights in a row is a severe test for all candidates, for Qin Guan, it provided him with the convenience of cheating.
Qin Guan picked up the test paper and mobile phone, calling for the moonlight system in his heart.
"Host, what's the matter?"
"I want to travel back to the modern world." Qin Guandao.
Moonlight asked without emotion: "Would you like to travel back to the real world?"
"yes."
With a flash, Qin Guan returned to the real world after being away for half a year.
After carefully placing the test papers in the study room, Qin Guan came to the living room and looked at the furnishings in the room. He actually felt a trance and strange feeling. It was like the discomfort felt when a wanderer who has been away from home for a long time returns home.
After only ten minutes of adapting, Qin Guan felt much better. He was pressed for time this time and did not dare to delay. He took out his mobile phone and called Manager Lin from Inspur Technology Company.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, I'm Lin Tiesheng, what can I do for you?" Lin Tiesheng remembered Qin Guan's number and handed him over in one breath.
"Manager Lin, I have something to ask you." Qin Guan said politely.
"You have something to say."
