My family was in ancient times

Chapter 32 Imperial Examination

Parents in the world are the most magnanimous, Lu Yiping thought so before leaving the modern age.

His father has always been the most serious and rigid. Lu Yiping never expected that his father would accept it so quickly and let him take him back earlier...

Sucking his sore nose, Lu Yiping said goodbye to Lu's father and Lu's mother, and immediately went back to ancient times.

There was only one week left before the imperial examination. In these few days, he had to make a surprise attack. Although the emperor said that he would give him the green light, he couldn't do nothing.

At least, he had to write a few words, and he couldn't hand in blank papers. Otherwise, how could the emperor give an explanation to the people of the world with so many talents who took the exam together?

A few days is not enough for him to read all the Four Books and Five Classics, but it is still possible to get familiar with ancient traditional characters.

Lu Yiping has the foundation of modern reading, he is not really illiterate, and he has no special advantages as a person, except that he has a good memory.

Although I don't say I can't forget it, but it's no problem to memorize the comparison table of traditional and simplified characters.

More importantly, the emperor not only sent him the test questions, but even wrote the content for him.

And euphemistically revealed that when entering the examination room, you can bring more 'things', which can be described as extremely thoughtful.

With a dumb smile, Lu Yiping accepted the imperial edict, and then buried himself in the attack again. Since the emperor has achieved this level, he can't shame others, but he feels a little sorry for the ten-year cold window of other candidates... ………

The imperial examinations generally include the township examination, general examination and palace examination, and every scholar who takes the examination is admitted one by one.

Those who were able to go to Beijing to take the general examination and palace examination were also elites. As a commoner without any fame, Lu Yiping could not take the examination in Kyoto.

But with the back door of the emperor, he skipped the provincial examination and participated in the general examination and palace examination with a group of elite talents.

There are three exams in the general examination. The first exam is about stereotyped essays, the second is about official application essays, and the third is about strategy questions. There are a total of three days of exams.

In ancient times, imperial examinations were generally important matters involving the imperial court. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the examination, the dormitory would be locked after the examination started. No matter what happened during the period, even if there was a fire, the candidates could not be unlocked.

This so-called "house" is similar to what you see in TV dramas. Each examinee has a small cubicle. During the period, except for drinking water, food is provided by the examinee. Eating, drinking and drinking are all in the cubicle. come out.

After the three-day test, the imperial court seals the test papers and selects 200 candidates from thousands of candidates to participate in the final palace test, which is the emperor's personal test...

After carefully understanding some relevant precautions, Lu Yiping had to sigh that the ancient imperial examinations were more strict than the modern college entrance examinations.

"Boss, the exam room is right in front of you. No one else can enter except the examinees. The younger ones will wait for you outside..."

Unlike other candidates who were accompanied by a bookboy, the one who carried the suitcase for Lu Yiping was his shopkeeper in Kyoto, a steady middle-aged man named Kang Defu.

Kang Defu was very surprised that his boss suddenly wanted to take the imperial examination. He didn't expect his boss to be a scholar. After all, which scholar would go into business?Isn't that self-declination?

But the surprise was the surprise, and Kang Defu was immediately happy. If his boss can get something in the exam, or get involved with the court, then he can also follow the glory, right...

"No need, you go back and take care of the shop, it's just the exam, don't be nervous..."

Lu Yiping shook his head, took the bamboo box containing things, and touched the incense amulet sent by Jiang Mingsheng from the palace on his chest.

The corner of his mouth turned up, and he strode towards the examination room, leaving shopkeeper Kang with a sluggish face, the exam... that's all...

Since ancient times, exams not only test knowledge, but also consider a person's mentality. Compared with Lu Yiping who is sure of winning and full of confidence, most of the candidates together are more or less nervous and apprehensive.

Walking into this gate, and then walking out, is to determine the fate of life. If you do well in the exam, you will go straight to Qingyun.

The exam is strict, and it can be seen from the moment you enter the exam room. In order to prevent the candidates from cheating, all the things that the candidates bring will be checked in detail.

The guard in charge of the inspection started to move after seeing Louis in a daze, although he looked the same as the examinee before the inspection.

But Lu Yiping, who was close, could find that this man didn't care what he brought.

After flipping through his things hastily, he let him enter the examination room and touched his nose. Lu Yiping knew that this was the emperor saying hello...

In fact, even if this person checked carefully, there would be no problem, because he didn't bring any 'extra' things with him at all, and he had printed all the information given by the emperor in his mind.

Moreover, Lu Yiping did not intend to directly transfer the things given by the emperor to the test paper.

He didn't think that his knowledge could be better than that of the ancients, but he learned about the test questions in advance and went through them in his mind.

He felt that he could change and add some things to the materials given by the emperor, and use a bit of "real talent and learning", anyway, he has studied for so many years...

After finding his own cubicle, Lu Yiping put down his things, and did not grind ink to prepare like other candidates.

He didn't plan to write with a brush at all. It's not like he can learn this calligraphy in a day or two. Instead of embarrassing himself, he thinks it's better to use a pen.

Anyway, they are all written in traditional Chinese characters. They use black ink. There is no difference. The examiner can understand it. Back then, he won No.3 in the elementary school fountain pen calligraphy competition...

The cubicles are not big, just a low table, plus a roll of mats and quilts, not even a stool, they all sit on the floor, all the cubicles are the same, no one can be treated specially.

Lu Yiping sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that the conditions were really simple, it was like a single cell.

In such a small space, eating and drinking for three days is all in it, which is really unbearable. I think it was not so uncomfortable when I took the college entrance examination...

It is different from the small cubicles that are all lined up on TV. Although this is also a small cubicle, it is double-rowed. The two rows of candidates face each other, and there is a passageway of about three meters in the middle.

This is better than that kind of single row, at least it won't make you feel that the whole examination room is just you.

However, this arrangement is also flawed. When you enter the examination room, everyone inside is your enemy. Therefore, as soon as Lu Yiping sat down, he raised his head, and faced several scrutinizing eyes.

His eyes moved, and he hummed in his heart, a group of weak chickens dared to snatch the baby from him, this time is his time to pretend to be aggressive, you wait for my bastard!

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Yiping could not stretch his arms and legs and moved a little. This small cubicle was originally not big, and his height and body were much taller than ordinary men here.

So this cubicle is really a cubicle for him...

Sitting bored in the seat and waiting for a while, after all the candidates entered the arena, the invigilating guards began to hand out the test questions and rice paper one by one.

There are three exams in total, that is, three questions. Lu Yiping, like most people, likes to write first when he is able to write in the exam, then when he is unsure, and finally when he is unable to read.

So after getting the test questions and rice paper, Lu Yiping picked up the pen and began to answer stereotyped essays.

The questions of these eight-legged essays are generally all from the original texts in the Four Books and Five Classics. Memorization of things by rote is the least troublesome. Besides, the emperor gave the answers before the exam. When Lu Yiping did it, it was like writing fill-in-the-blank questions...

He uses a fountain pen, no need to grind or dip the ink, the last ink can last for a long time, and writing with a hard pen is inherently fast, coupled with his speed of answering questions, the several candidates facing him were stunned and stunned. of.

In less than an hour, the test questions of the eight-legged essay were answered. Not only was the content correct, but the handwriting was also very neat.

Nodding in satisfaction, not ready to continue answering questions, put down the pen, ready to rest and combine work and rest.

Sitting in his seat and resting for more than half an hour, Lu Yiping quickly raised his hand when he saw the invigilator guards passing by on patrol.

"Hey, big brother, get me a bowl of boiling water, the kind that boils, thank you."

He wants to eat instant noodles, and the examination room can't light a fire to cook, so instant noodles are the most convenient...
