The moonlight is getting brighter!

Luo Hong closed his eyes and rested for a long time before he heard some noise outside...

An officer carried a tray with a stack of papers on it and went to each compartment and handed out two papers through the door curtain.

"Take the question!"

There are only three words, no other extra words, and it has been like this all the way.

Luo Hong saw a few pieces of paper stuffed in through the crack in the door and took them immediately. No one before him said anything to thank him, so of course he wouldn't say anything either. After all, he knew nothing and the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.

Luo Hong got the test paper and read through the questions on it by candlelight. There were five questions in total, printed with movable type. They were all routine recitation and memorization of the Four Books and Five Classics, which were not a problem for him.

After collecting the test papers, Luo Hong moved the desk a little to the side, and curled up to rest on his side.

That night, those who were in a good mood slept soundly, while those who were in a bad mood tossed and turned.

No matter what, I had to get up and answer questions the next day. The exam officially began.

Regardless of whether Luo Hong slept well or not, Lin Keyu was snoring soundly. He had not started to grow yet, and his height had not yet developed. When he lay down and stretched his legs diagonally, they did not go too far out of bounds, which was completely in line with the rules, and he had a good sleep.

Lin Keyu did not cheat. He memorized all the information and started answering the questions early the next morning.

But he had to be more careful when writing with a brush, so Lin Keyu ground the ink. Two regular answer sheets and two rougher ones that should be draft papers.

Lin Keyu prepared to write a paragraph on a draft paper first, and then start answering the questions on the test paper slowly and carefully after he was familiar with it.

There are two questions on the Four Books and three questions on the Five Classics.

Basically, there were no big problems for them.

Luo Hong went over it in his mind calmly without making a draft. His calligraphy was also of very high standard. He was well-known in the school where he worked before and even in the academic circle. Many people wanted to ask for his calligraphy.

In the morning, someone will come to distribute breakfast, or you can cook something for yourself. You can bring a small charcoal stove and a small ceramic pot. There are uniform styles in the grocery store, and the specifications are all in line with the requirements for bringing into the examination room.

Luo Hong and his friends each boiled two eggs, and ate them with the multi-grain steamed buns provided by the distribution, and drank them with warm water, and they were basically full.

The candidates in the examination room are all similar, with not much difference between them.

After eating and drinking, the sounds of grinding ink and writing were the most common in the examination room.

Luo Hong finished answering all five questions in one morning.

Lin Keyu was a little slower. He knew how to answer questions, but he also had to write well to avoid losing points. So he wrote carefully, and practiced on draft paper for some complicated words before copying them down.

At noon, everyone had a simple meal. The wooden barrels in the cubicle were filled with feces and urine from the previous night and the whole morning, so there was still some smell. It was not until after dinner that someone came to collect the barrels, and the smell was really a bit unpleasant.

After finally making it to the end of the Chen hour, the officers and soldiers first took the trays to collect everyone's test papers, and then distributed the test papers for the next day.

Only then did they come to collect the toilet bowl, which they simply emptied and put back.

The smell will probably be stronger tomorrow.

Everyone is the same, no one is an exception.

This time the test was much more difficult, with densely packed characters printed on the paper. The same five questions, five paragraphs requiring explanations and your own opinions.

Luo Hong checked these paragraphs and found that they were all what he had learned in his daily life.

I felt relieved.

With the experience of the first day's exam, and knowing that he could do the questions after looking at them, Luo Hong slept better that night than the day before.

When the test papers were distributed on the last day, it was a piece of cake for Luo Hong and Lin Keyu.

Write a poem based on the famine of these three years!

I don't say that everyone has thought of this topic, but most people should have thought of it. But they didn't expect that the first thing to come up with was to write a poem.

The same question may appear again later.

After all, it is indeed too small to write a poem.

Luo Hong and Lin Keyu both wrote seven-character regulated verse.

Since ancient times, everyone has to die. Let us leave some paintings to record the history!

Luo Hong borrowed this famous sentence from ancient times as the ending, and changed the previous sentence according to the actual situation of this dynasty. The last sentence is just to show his determination to contribute to the country and the people.

Lin Keyu changed another poem under Luo Hong's guidance. As he was still young, it was not suitable for him to use such majestic verses.

They had discussed before whether these poems would be recognized by fellow villagers, or whether there would be any misunderstandings. It all depends on luck. Some famous lines that are difficult to change will not be changed, and if words can be changed, a few words will be changed, so that they will not be exactly the same.

Writing poetry is easy.

On the last morning, many people have to hand in their papers early.

Luo Hong also chose a middle time to hand in his paper and leave early.

You also need to check when you go out, and you are not allowed to take out anything like draft paper.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous. I was more or less nervous. Now that I had relaxed, I wanted to go home early or go back to the inn to have a good rest.

When I left the examination room, I saw Liu's father outside the door.

Father Liu was pulling a carriage, and when he saw Luo Hong coming out, he waved at him, "Old Luo, this way."

Luo Hong came over, and Father Liu took his basket and patted him on the shoulder. "You've worked hard. Go sit in the carriage for a while. When they all come out, we'll go home together."

"It's okay. I feel fine. My body can handle it."

"Grandpa!" Lin Keyu saw Liu's father and waved happily and called him loudly.

"Hey, Keyu, come here quickly. Are you tired? Come in the carriage and sit down to rest for a while."

"I'm not tired at all. I'm just a little greedy and want to eat meat!" After Lin Keyu changed his words to call grandpa, he cut a lot of meat with Liu's father and could even act like a spoiled child at this time.

"Okay, we have meat prepared at home, you can have as much as you want!"

After everyone came out, Father Liu asked them to squeeze into the carriage, and both sides of the carriage were full.

Driving the carriage back, the street was crowded with people, and the carriage was moving slower than people.

Since there were so many of them and the horses couldn't run fast, they just followed the crowd and slowly walked towards home.

The streets were bustling with activity, and everyone felt like they had just been released from prison.

"Uncle Luo, I answered all the questions in this test!" Lin Keyu happily shared with Luo Hong and others. He was young, and although everyone asked him to relax before taking the test, he was still very excited after the test because he answered all the questions.

"Yes, the topic about famine that we guessed before was also tested. Fortunately, Uncle Luo proposed to write an article and a poem on this topic at that time."

Luo Hong looked at several people chattering about the test questions.

He was actually happy in his heart, but he was relatively calm because he had seen many storms.

Looking at the energetic appearance of the children, he would want to stroke his beard if he had one.
