Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

"Toilet No." refers to the examination room next to the toilet.

On such a hot day, being assigned to a "toilet number" is a torture you can only imagine.

Back when he was taking the examination for the title of Scholar, he was assigned to the "Toilet Number".

That feeling, I don't want to recall it again in my life.

Soon, the first test paper was distributed.

Lu Xiao first took a general look.

Not much different from previous years.

The first round of the provincial examination was about the interpretation of classics and poetry.

In terms of the meaning of the classics, the assessment is about the understanding of the principles in the Four Books and Five Classics.

There is no need to explain much about poetry and songs.

The entire test paper contains a total of fifteen questions.

The first fourteen questions were all about the interpretation of scriptures, and only the last one was about writing a poem.

After reading all the test questions.

Lu Xiao immediately began grinding.

Then he spread out the rice paper and began writing furiously.

The first fourteen questions on the meaning of the sutra were not difficult for Lu Xiao, not just now, but even before.

He possessed a mindset that transcended his time, and his understanding of the principles of Confucian classics was unmatched by anyone in his time.

As long as the content you write is not too unconventional, your score will definitely not be low.

After integrating many of Lu Xiao's abilities, his brain is now very useful and his thinking is extremely sharp.

Basically, the best answer comes to mind as soon as I read the question.

In less than half a day, Lu Xiao had finished all fourteen questions on the meaning of the scriptures.

At this time, the fastest of the other candidates had only finished five or six questions on the meaning of the scriptures.

To be honest, he himself didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Chapter 7 Submit your paper early

After answering the questions about the meaning of the sutra, the only question left was a poem.

To be honest, for Lu Xiao in the past, writing poetry was definitely his weak point.

Although he is a time traveler.

But don't forget, although the world of "Do You Know" is not the real Song Dynasty in history, the overall background is similar.

All the famous figures in the history of this era in the past life are present in this world.

There are all the great poets like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Shi.

Therefore, it is very difficult to pass this level of being a plagiarist.

Unless Lu Xiao could accurately determine which era the poem he wanted to copy came from?

Then I specifically selected poems written after the Song Dynasty.

This is a very challenging operation.

Don't think this is easy.

Ask yourself, among the poems that you remember, how many of you can accurately name the author and year of each poem?

“Once you have seen the sea, you will never be satisfied with the water” is famous, right?

Who wrote it? Which dynasty? Which period?

“Telepathy” is famous, right?

Who wrote it? Which dynasty? Which period?

Except for a few poems by very few poets, many people cannot tell the specific origins of most poems that have been passed down to later generations.

To put it bluntly, when were famous poets like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Shi born and died?

Not many people know this, right?

Therefore, in the era that Lu Xiao lived in, being a plagiarist was a very dangerous thing.

If I make a mistake, I will be ruined.

Therefore, copying poems is definitely not feasible.

Fortunately, from the very beginning, Lu Xiao had written all the poems and songs himself.

It's just that his poetry was mediocre before, and he really didn't have much talent in this area.

But after integrating many abilities, he now has some ideas of his own in terms of poetry.

Although it is still highly unlikely that I could produce a poem that would be passed down through the ages, I would definitely be able to handle the provincial examination.

First round, last question.

To sum up the topic, you need to write a poem about plum blossoms.

Of course, words can also be used.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao finally picked up the brush.

I solemnly wrote down my "masterpiece" on the answer sheet.

After a cup of tea, the writing is finished.

Look at what I wrote.

Lu Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, it was just noon.

The rest of the people in the Imperial Examination Hall were still busy answering questions.

Some are scratching their heads, while others are having their ideas flow.

After the ink on the paper in front of him dried, Lu Xiao raised his hand and pulled the rope on the wall to his left.

Following a crisp sound.

All the students turned their eyes towards him.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

Although it is a provincial examination, you can submit your paper in advance.

The ringing sound just now means it's time to hand in the paper.

Normally, any student taking the provincial examination would check and recheck their papers several times, even if they had finished answering all the questions in advance, and would only hand them in at the very last minute.

There are people who submit their papers early, but they are very rare.

Even those few people wouldn't turn in their papers just after noon like Lu Xiao did.

None of the students had ever encountered such a thing.

Not even the students.

Even the officials in charge of the exams were a little strange at this moment.

Soon, the person in charge of collecting the papers came to Lu Xiao.

After repeated confirmation, he covered up the name and took Lu Xiao's test paper away.

.. .

Gongyuan, where examiners rest.

The chief examiner of the provincial examination was from the capital, Bianliang, and was not a local official from Suzhou.

This shows the importance the imperial court attached to the provincial examinations.

But this is as it should be.

After passing the provincial examination, one becomes a Juren.

It can be said that he had already entered the scholar-official class.

Even if he fails to pass the imperial examination.

Just by virtue of the title of Juren, one can get a high-ranking job in the local government.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a term as "Juren Laoye" among the people.

This examiner from Bianliang is named Xu, a Jinshi (Jinshi) and currently works in the Hanlin Academy.

At this time, Lord Xu was discussing the provincial examination with his colleagues.

"Everyone, Suzhou Prefecture has been blessed with outstanding people and talents in recent years. In the last list of Jinshi (imperial examinations), Suzhou Prefecture had thirteen second-class Jinshi. Therefore, His Majesty has high hopes for Suzhou Prefecture this time. I believe that Suzhou Prefecture should be able to achieve even greater success in next year's Spring Examination."

Lord Xu was very happy that he was here to preside over the Suzhou Prefecture Provincial Examination.

After all, judging by Suzhou Prefecture's performance in recent years, it's been getting better year by year.

These things are all "political achievements".

Although the majority of this was definitely due to the education of local officials in Suzhou Prefecture.

But as the chief examiner, he was bound to get a piece of the pie.

After hearing what Master Xu said, the other examiners naturally smiled with satisfaction.

They were all local officials and students from Suzhou Prefecture, and they were proud of their excellent performance in the imperial examinations.

Of course, we should be humble when we need to be humble.

Then someone immediately said.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your compliments. Although our Suzhou Prefecture has increased its investment in education over the years and has achieved some success, it is all due to the wisdom of Your Majesty and the strong support of the officials in the court. We are just reaping the benefits. I feel truly ashamed. If we can one day train a top-ranking Jinshi, then we will have lived up to Your Majesty!"

Although this flattery is a bit blunt, it still sounds quite pleasant.

After hearing this, Master Xu's smile grew even wider. Just as he was about to respond, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"My Lords, a student has already completed all the questions in the first round of the exam and handed in his paper."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately showed surprise on their faces.

Lord Xu's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's only been a short while since noon, and a student has already finished? Have they given up? Bring the papers in so I can take a look."

Although it is not the time to review the papers yet, as the chief examiner, I still have this power.

When these words came out, the other examiners couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.

It is not uncommon to submit papers early.

This kind of students has always appeared in every provincial examination.

However, for students who can submit their papers early, there are mostly two situations.

The first type is students who are talented and very confident in their answers.

The other is that students can't bear the pressure of the exam and finally give up.

These two types of students can be described as two extremes.

If it's the former, that's fine.

As long as you answer well, most of the time you can get the examiner's favor in advance.

But if it's the latter, then that's not good.

If you answer randomly, or even if the content is disgusting, it will definitely make you feel guilty and affect the examiner's mood.

This will have an impact on the examiner's review of other students' answers.

And now, it was only a short while after noon.

Putting themselves in their shoes, even if they took the exam in person, they wouldn't necessarily be able to answer all fifteen questions in the first round of the provincial examination in such a short time.

After all, they had already seen the test questions.

Therefore, in everyone's mind, the first student to hand in his paper was most likely the one who gave up on his own initiative.
