Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 48

 At this time, Shen Chenyu was very embarrassed, not only could he not squeeze to the front, but he also couldn't squeeze out from the crowd. He could only get stuck in the crowd with a helpless face, and his whole expression was that of life and love.

In the past, Shen Chenyu thought they were frail scholars, but now she suddenly found that these frail scholars went crazy and it was scary. Today's students are not as polite as usual, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the uncles and aunts who snapped up specials in the future.

Before Shen Chenyu could think about how to get out, Chen Youli, who had already squeezed to the front, shouted. "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, I saw your and my names, both of us are in the top ten."

Shen Chenyu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and greeted Chen Youli randomly, and the two of them hit it off together. Squeeze outside one after the other.

Because some people were squeezing outside, while others were going inside, the scene was very chaotic for a while. If it weren't for Shen Chenyu's better physical fitness now, the situation in front of him would have been too much to bear. When the two finally squeezed out, they all looked messy and disheveled.

There were more than 300 candidates in the county examination, and nearly half of them passed the first round. Among the nine members of Shen Chenyu and his group, only one failed the exam due to poor health, and the remaining eight candidates continued to take the next exam.

On the second day after the results were released, that is, on February 11th, the second round of the county examination started. Because half of the candidates were brushed off at once, it would be faster when the second exam came in.

After Shen Chenyu entered the number room, she found that the number room was not very good this time, and there was a hole in the roof of the number room. Fortunately, it didn't rain, otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to take the exam in such a room without soiling the exam paper.

In the second round, the main exam was Tie Jing and Mo Yi, because the first test was the Tie Sutra, and although half of the second test was Mo Yi, the questions were still relatively easy.

Moyi is a simple question and answer around the meaning and commentary of the scriptures. Probably it is to give a paragraph of the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, and then ask the examinee to answer the meaning expressed in this paragraph.

Generally, such questions have relatively fixed answers. As long as candidates recite seriously on weekdays and be more careful when doing the questions, most of them will not fail to answer.

Of course, this only refers to the majority of people. There are still many people who don't study hard, or even have no talent in reading. Even such a simple question still can't solve it.

After Shen Chenyu finished the test paper this time, she checked it three times as carefully as the previous one, then closed her eyes and began to rest her mind. Today is no better than future generations, he must take good care of his eyes. After someone took the lead to hand in the paper, Shen Chenyu got up and handed in the paper.

Not surprisingly, Shen Chenyu also passed the second round smoothly. Because the scene when watching the list was too tragic, Shen Chenyu only went to watch the second round of the red list in the afternoon. Although there were still many people in the afternoon, it was completely incomparable with the morning.

Dozens of people were drawn down in the second round, and by the time the third round entered, only six of Shen Chenyu and the others were left.

Because of the incident of Xiaoer's poisoning before, Shen Chenyu has been very cautious these few days, just worried that the Shen family in Qingcheng County might have something behind them.

As a result, it is now the third round of the exam, and Shen Chenyu didn't find anything unusual. Just when Shen Chenyu relaxed a little, he suddenly checked the test basket again by mistake.

Shen Chenyu is used to being cautious. Seeing that it was his turn to search him soon, he didn't expect that he just glanced at the test basket casually, and found that there was something extra in the test basket at some point.

Shen Chenyu was frightened into a cold sweat. Since there were several serious-faced government servants in front of him, he quickly put his hand into the test basket, and put the thing into his own space. After he put his things into the space, his test basket was taken away by the servants at the side.

Shen Chenyu's mind went blank for a moment, he kept recalling the previous events, and he didn't remember anyone approaching him at all. This feeling is indescribably terrifying, even if she is as calm as Chen Yu, she can't help shivering.

Seeing him shivering, the yamen servant at the side thought that Shen Chenyu was frozen. The other party said that it would be ready soon, and returned Shen Chenyu's clothes to him.

After finding his own room and sitting down, Shen Chenyu gradually regained his breathing, and then he found that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

While preparing for the exam, Shen Chenyu distractedly looked at the small note in the space. After seeing the lines of small words on the note clearly, he couldn't help but hammered hard on the table in front of him.

Okay, good job, now our beams are getting bigger. Unless the Shen family in Qingcheng County can really kill him, don't blame him for being cruel.

Shen Chenyu took the test paper and calmed down for a moment, then opened the test paper and scanned the test questions carefully. In the third session, in addition to the basic posting scriptures and ink meanings, there is also a poem describing the scene and arithmetic problems.

The original owner wrote a lot of poems describing the scenery. There is no special requirement for this question, Shen Chenyu can also write a poem according to the rhythm. However, in order to be more on the safe side, Shen Chenyu still chose a poem by the original owner.

The arithmetic problems in the ancient imperial examinations were actually not too difficult. The only difficulty is that the questions are quite convoluted, and the questions go around and talk a lot, but in fact, the test is ordinary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

At this time, there are already multiplication formulas, but they are different from those of later generations. They all recite them upside down here. This made Shen Chenyu, who has the memory of later generations, feel very uncomfortable for a while.

After leaving the examination room, Shen Chenyu told the brothers about the note. Shen Chenyu was worried that there would be no way to get anything from him, and whether they would get their hands on some of his senior brothers.

After all, there is a cheating system, if other senior brothers are found to be cheating, Shen Chenyu will suffer along with him.

Shen Chenyu didn't say who did it, nor did she mention the Shen family in Qingcheng County to her seniors, she just told them to be careful these few days.

Fortunately, the imperial examination was related to their future, not only did they not feel that Shen Chenyu was being too cautious, but they were very relieved of Shen Chenyu's words.

Shen Chenyu didn't find any problems until the fourth exam started. At this time, Shen Chenyu and the others still have six people, and the remaining six people seem to have a good foundation, and they don't know how many people will be able to pass the final round.

The fourth test was more complicated, and the content was relatively difficult. This time, there are not only posting scriptures, moyi, poems, arithmetic, but also a current affairs policy.

Current affairs policies are policy questions. Examiners will ask policy questions based on current affairs, and let candidates answer based on the Four Books and Five Classics. This kind of question is a bit like a composition question, and the number of words for answering the current affairs policy will be specially stipulated. It cannot exceed this word limit or be too small, and the requirements for candidates' writing skills are relatively high.

Shen Chenyu did well in the first three exams, ranking among the top ten. If there were no accidents in this round, he should also be able to get a good ranking in the exam.

Just as Shen Chenyu was answering the question with confidence, it suddenly rained heavily outside. It stands to reason that spring has not yet entered, and it is rare to encounter such heavy rain in such weather.

Shen Chenyu raised her head and checked the numbered room, making sure that there was no leak in the numbered room this time, then she lowered her head and continued to write.

Probably because of the rainy weather, Shen Chenyu's wrist hurt a little. But at this time, there is no time to care about the pain, Shen Chenyu can only calm down and continue to answer the questions seriously.

It wasn't until he finally finished all the answers that he realized that his wrist was hurting more and more. He reached out and touched the scar on his wrist, his eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Master Liu said more than once before that the Tongsheng Examination is the easiest test in the imperial examination. The main content of the test is also the foundation of the basics. As long as the students study a little harder on weekdays and write a decent handwriting, there will be no problem.

The original owner laid a good foundation and wrote a good handwriting. In the year since Shen Chenyu came here, she has been working hard like hanging a beam and piercing her buttocks. Shen Chenyu is quite confident about the county test this time.

Especially after taking the test in person, the previous apprehension and uneasiness disappeared. Shen Chenyu found that her mentality was not bad, and the college entrance examination in her previous life was not in vain.

But even if he is confident that he will be on the list, compared with those native scholars, Shen Chenyu still has many shortcomings.

For example, every time he examines a question, the knowledge of future generations will come out first, and his reading speed will be slower than others.

It's okay to be still in the Tongsheng Examination now, but it would be embarrassing for Shen Chenyu to still be like this when it comes to the later provincial or general examinations.

Probably because the last game was more difficult, and everyone came out late in the last game. As soon as Shen Chenyu walked out of the examination room, the voices of Chen Youli and others came from behind him.

Shen Chenyu saw that their faces were not bad, so she knew that the senior brothers should pass the exam this time, otherwise they would not be so calm.

The final exam will not be announced until three days later. I have taken four exams in a row, and I have passed the exam from the eighth day of February to the seventeenth. By the time the final ranking was released, they had already been in Qingcheng County for more than half a month.

Because the sixth day of April is the government examination, it is only one and a half months away from the sixth day of April. In addition, the government examination had to go to Liangzhou Prefecture. According to Master Liu and his senior brothers, if they passed the exam, they would go directly to Liangzhou Prefecture.

That is to say, after the 20th release of the list, as long as they are on the list, they will go directly to Liangzhou Mansion, and they don't even have time to go home to announce the good news.

After Shen Chenyu heard the news, she immediately wrote a letter to her family and asked her senior brother who returned home to help her take it back. It's been so long since he left this time, and he doesn't know what's going on at home now?

Shen Chenyu was studying in the town before, and every time he didn't go back for a long time, Xiaoroubao would feel strange when he saw him again. I don't know if the little boy will have forgotten his father when he tries to go back to his house.

When the final red list came out, Shen Chenyu thought that there would not be too many people watching the list. After all, so many people have been registered one after another before, and there are only a few dozen people who participated in the last exam. No matter how many people will watch the list at that time, it is impossible to be more than the first exam.

But in fact, this time there are more people watching the list than before. Probably seeing Shen Chenyu's doubts, Chen Youli on the side kindly explained his doubts.

"Although there are not many people in the last exam, because the county exam is the most important thing in our county, some ordinary people in the county will come to join in the fun. Some families with scholars in their families will also come to squeeze in the red list. Happy."

Shen Chenyu was a little helpless when she heard the words, it was just a county test, and these ordinary people were even more excited than them. If you wait until the next township examination or palace examination, I don't know how many people will be crazy about it.

"Wait until the township examination or general examination, then the situation will be even more lively. Some families with girls or brothers in their families, maybe there will be a list to catch their son-in-law. Brother Yu, don't go to look at the list when the time comes, or you will be in trouble." Even if Brother Yu has a family with this appearance, those people will definitely not let you go easily."

Shen Chenyu's mouth twitched, so he would not do it in the future when it is hard and dangerous to read the list It's lively. It's not that he is so confident in his appearance, but that he really can't stand such a lively and crowded situation.
