Chapter 837 Test Questions

Shang Xiucai was very pleased to hear this. He helped Gu Jinan up and said, "I believe you will be worthy of years of hard study."

The Jiang family was very concerned about Gu Jinan's participation in the county examination and came to take the examination.

Jiang Dahu couldn't stand it when he saw Shang Xiucai and Gu Jinan thanking each other so much. He said, "Don't thank me anymore. Quickly take out the guarantee letter and so on. Then say goodbye to your parents so that you can queue up at the dragon gate."

The examination room of the county examination is called the ceremonial room, and the door of the ceremonial room is called Longmen, which means the examinee's carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

After Gu Jinan and the others heard this, they quickly took out the guarantee letter. They bowed deeply to their parents who came to take the exam, and thanked them for their upbringing.

Brothers Gu Dashan, Qi Panpan, Gu Dafu and Gu Damu were very excited and kept asking them to get up.

Gu Dafu even cried. His parents, wife, and daughter were all dead, leaving only Gu Dexing, a son. He never dreamed that he would be successful. Now that I saw that Gu Dexing could take the scientific examination, I couldn't help but cry.

Gu Dexing also had red eyes and said, "Dad, don't cry. My son will definitely take the exam well."

Mrs. Chen was sitting in the mule cart with Gu Jinli, Luo Huiniang, and several women taking the exam. When she saw Gu Dafu crying, she hurriedly said: "Brother, why are you crying? It's such a happy event, and it's unlucky for you to cry!"

What if Mr. Wenquxing cried away? Brother Xing will fail the exam.

Gu Dagui also advised his eldest brother: "Brother, stop crying, be happy, and let Brother Xing take the exam with peace of mind."

Only then did Gu Dafu put away his tears.

Qin Sanlang saw them from a distance, but because he wanted to avoid suspicion, he did not come over. He only sent Zhang Xiaoqi over and said to them: "Brother An, the dragon gate is about to open. You have to hurry over and line up."

After saying that, he didn't stay much and left immediately.

After hearing this, Gu Jinan bowed to Gu Jinli in the mule cart. Although Xiaoyu was his younger sister, she could still afford his gift. Without Xiaoyu, he would probably have died, let alone have the chance to study.

Gu Jinli smiled at him and urged, "Brother, hurry in and we'll wait for you to come out and go back together."

The county examination consists of three consecutive examinations, each taking one day. The gantry is opened at midnight to enter the examination hall and exit at dark, so there is no need to spend the night in the examination booth.

Gu Jinan nodded with a smile and followed Shang Xiucai to line up.

There were quite a few students who came to take the county examination, hundreds of them. Gu Jinan and the others waited in line for more than half an hour before it was their turn to enter.

Before entering the venue, a letter of guarantee must be handed over to the county clerk for review. Only after describing the appearance and meeting the recommended scholar can the number plate be issued and enter the dragon gate.

Shang Xiucai was familiar with people in the county government. The clerk knew him and Gu Jinan, so he was released quickly after inspection.

Gu Jin'an and others took their respective number plates and followed the county soldiers from the Sibing Station to a room.

There were officials from the county government in the room. When they saw the candidates coming in, they shouted: "Take off your clothes and spread them!"

In order to prevent candidates from cheating by bringing papers with them, all candidates were required to take off their clothes and distribute them for inspection. Some students who did not know this were confused, but Gu Jinan and the others knew.

Shang Xiucai specifically told them not to be afraid or shy, just let the county soldiers check them, then grit their teeth and pass.

Gu Jinan and the others were mentally prepared and quickly took off their clothes and untied their hair.

Under the supervision of the officials, the county soldiers inspected the candidates and checked the candidates' clothes. After there were no problems, they said to the officials: "Yes."

The official took the examinee's number plate and wrote the word "OK" on it. After asking the examinee to get dressed, he pointed to the examination baskets placed in the room and said: "A set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, where are they all? One person can take them." One, follow the county soldiers into the examination shed."

During the previous dynasty, aristocratic families controlled the official positions in the court. Their favorite thing was the recommendation system. They rejected the imperial examination system and specified many rules to prevent cheating. One of the rules was that candidates were not allowed to bring pens, inks, paper, inkstones and drinking water privately.

Dachu followed these rules. However, these pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and water all require money. Therefore, if you are a truly poor family, you have no money to take the scientific examination.

Gu Jinan and the others came to the exam blue and checked the exam blue before picking up the exam blue... Shang Xiucai told them that some candidates' exam blues had been tampered with, and they had slips of paper in them, and they were found guilty of cheating. During the exam, he was thrown out by officers and soldiers.

Therefore, when asking them to take things, they must first check to make sure that no one has tampered with the blues, writing brushes, and inkstones before taking them away.

After Gu Jinan and the others checked them one by one, they picked up the kaolan and left with the county soldiers.

The six officials responsible for the inspection nodded happily when they saw it. Brother An from the Gu family was quite smart and knew what the inspection official issued.

They looked at the other candidates present and saw that some were coy and refused to take off their clothes. They said angrily: "If you want to take the exam, take it off quickly. We won't wait until you are late."

With so many people taking the county exam, they don't have time to wait for these candidates to wait.

The candidates all wanted to jump over the dragon gate. After being shy, they quickly took off their clothes, let their hair loose, and accepted the examination.

Gu Jinan and the others followed the county soldiers to the outside of the examination shed, and entered their respective rooms according to the number of words on the number plate.

They were lucky, they didn't get a bad number, but the room was too small, only half a foot square, and people felt a sense of oppression sitting in it, which was very uncomfortable.

Gu Jinan and others were imprisoned by Mr. Ouyang in his self-made room for a few days. Now they no longer feel any discomfort in the room. They are sitting on the stool, waiting for the exam papers to be handed out.

Half an hour later, the big drums in the ceremony room rang. After a burst of passionate drum beats, the county magistrate led a group of officials into the examination booth and handed out examination papers to the candidates.

There were so many people that it took half an hour just to hand out the papers.

After the papers were handed out, County Magistrate Zheng stood in the aisle of the examination booth and said to the candidates: "It is a major matter in the scientific examination. Cheating is strictly prohibited. Offenders will be disqualified from the examination forever. I hope all students will take this seriously."

After saying that, he left, leaving Fang Xian Cheng to explain the rules of the scientific examination to the candidates.

"Collect the papers before dark. If you need to go to the toilet, you need to register and be accompanied by two county soldiers. Each candidate can only go to the toilet twice."

So, eat less and drink less.

The food provided by the county government was also very simple, just two pancakes and a bowl of water. The pancakes were so hard that I couldn't even chew them.

Gu Jinan had suffered a lot and didn't care about it. What he cared about was the test questions.

The county examination is actually very simple. It just tests the proficiency of the Four Books and Five Classics, plus poetry, poetry, and policy theory.

The most difficult thing is the policy argument. The policy argument for the first county examination is about agriculture.

This question is very in line with Magistrate Zheng’s temperament. Magistrate Zheng cares about farming and hopes candidates can be pragmatic, so he asked a question about farming.

Gu Jinan had written a lot of policies and theories about farming. This test question was very handy for him. He quickly solved the problem and wrote a non-committal essay about farming.

Qi Kangming and Gu Dexing followed Gu Jinan and wrote many policies and discussions on farming. When they saw the test questions, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wrote to answer the questions.

Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian were not very good at knowledge. This time, Gu Dalin wanted them to take the test and did not expect them to pass. The two of them did not rush to write a policy statement, but started writing from the four books in a proper manner.

It's not in a good state recently and I've updated it badly. I'm sorry everyone, I will adjust it as soon as possible. The next step is to destroy the old Gu family, make the eldest brother famous, and get the heroine and Hairpin engaged. As for the relationship between the male and female protagonists, I wrote it in a smooth manner and would not let them have any setbacks. Some people say that the attack on the Zou family and the Lu family was too harsh and they should not be executed. I only have four words to say, good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded. Regarding the death of Gu Yumei, she was a useless character. It would be of no use if she was not written dead. I also feel sorry for her, but she can no longer survive as a character, so she can only be written dead. PS: Thank you for your support, I appreciate it. I don’t say these digressions often because I feel that writing too much will affect the sense of reading. I’m sorry.
