After the bailout, Wang Sheng and his group went through the ordination and basket inspection, and then were brought into the examination room by five government officials and took the exams separately.
Wang Sheng looked at the examination booth. The spider silk in the corner was particularly conspicuous. Is it leaking from the top? In addition, he checked the tables and chairs. Fortunately, they were not swaying from side to side.
Wang Sheng quickly took out a rag to wipe the tables and chairs, and then took out four items from the study room, waiting for the yamen to hand out the test papers.
He was considered to be at the front of the queue, so he came in and waited for a while before he heard the government officials shouting: "Lock the courtyard."
After a while, a gong sounded, With the sound of drums, everyone was reminded to hand out test papers.
Wang Sheng took the test paper issued by the yamen servant, first checked whether there were any blank spaces or unclear handwriting, then wrote his name on the answer sheet and began to read the questions.
The first test was Mo Yi, with a total of fifty questions.
Wang Sheng was relatively familiar with this part, and it didn’t take him long to extract it from his memory. He was afraid that some of the allusions in Mo Yi’s meaning were not written down in full, so he had to first write it down on the draft paper that was handed out. Write down the key words first to avoid missing them when answering the questions.
There is only one copy of the answer sheet. No matter whether it is damaged or not, you cannot take another copy.
These questions are not difficult.
"Benevolence is good, but how can we be wise if we choose not to be benevolent? A gentleman cherishes virtue, while a villain cherishes earth. A gentleman cherishes punishment, while a villain cherishes favor."
The difficult thing is In this sentence, we must understand clearly that although these two sentences are in the "Analects of Confucius Li Ren", they are not the preceding and following sentences. We must read them one by one according to their meaning and then analyze their meaning.
After Wang Sheng finished writing these fifty questions, he looked up and saw that the candidates in the examination booth opposite were still scratching their heads. There are not many questions like this, and it seems that only a few questions bother students who are not studying well.
He turned over it again and checked it carefully to see if there were any misspellings, misspellings or mistakes. He sat down and waited for the paper to be collected.
During this period, he probably settled down. These three exams are probably based on the original content. Presumably, the order just issued, the county exam generally still follows the old rules, but the content of the policy is not written.
Wang Sheng thought about it. In a blink of an eye, it was time to collect the answer sheets. As soon as he handed in the test papers, he hurriedly took a step forward before anyone went to the toilet, otherwise he would wait until everyone went to the makeshift toilet. The smell of the toilet is absolutely terrible.
After he went to the toilet, he went back to the examination room to take out the jar, queued up to get water, and ate it with steamed buns to avoid dry mouth and choking.
There was only one hour of rest in between. Wang Yi originally wanted to meet at the water fetching place after the exam, but Wang Sheng decisively refused.
In these nearby towns, all those who are willing to take the county examination gather here. If nothing else, if they are assigned to the examination booth, they will still have to walk for a quarter of an hour. Instead of sitting there It’s better to go back to the examination room to finish eating and close your eyes to rest after struggling to find someone in a sea of people.
Wang Sheng took a rest after eatingAfter about two quarters of an hour, I got up and stretched my muscles.
On February day, the wind was blowing outside the examination room and it was so cold that people shivered. Wang Sheng was afraid of the cold coming from the soles of his feet, so he wore two layers of footwear. These two layers could not prevent the wind from blowing at the soles of his feet from time to time when he was resting.
The examinee opposite was free at this time. When he saw Wang Sheng walking around, he thought that his morning exam was not satisfactory, so he walked over to him and said in a familiar manner: "Don't go, my dear, not this year. Continue next year."
Wang Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the relief."
At this time, the gong sounded again, asking the candidates to prepare for the second exam.
The second and third exams are connected together. As soon as the papers for the second exam are collected, the papers for the third exam are also distributed.
Wang Sheng took a look and asked to write two policy essays. Both of them were taken from a sentence in the four books. The candidates were required to formulate their ideas and answer the questions.
"Which is more important, etiquette or food?"
People who have not read "Mencius" may have a variety of answers, but this policy discussion will be based on Mencius's main points. Mencius concludes this article by saying that the importance of eating cannot be compared with the lightness of etiquette. This is incomparable.
We must look for the solution to the problem from the subsequent "Tao of Yao and Shun".
During this exam, when Wang Sheng stopped writing, the ink he had written had been completely consumed before he knew it. He didn't notice it, so he quickly turned to the first page to check and straighten out his thoughts.
After Wang Sheng read it once, the yamen came to take away the answer sheet and handed out another test paper.
The last test only lasted for half a quarter of an hour. During this half-quarter of an hour, the candidates were asked to answer the question paper. Wang Sheng took a look at the paper and found that it was indeed a poem or rhyme with the verse "spring".
Wang Sheng thought for a while and put on his spare poem, not seeking merit, but only seeking no faults.
Therefore, Wang Sheng ended the last session quickly and sat in his seat waiting to leave the examination room.

"哐——"
There was another sound, and the government officials began to come to collect the answer sheets. There was a lot of noise around the examination room, and suddenly a group of government officials with sabers came. These government officials came every four There was only one person standing in the exam room, and the noise instantly fell silent.
After Wang Sheng handed in his papers, he walked out of the examination room. Wang Yi's examination booth was close to the courtyard gate, so he came out early, stood next to Wang Wenqiu, and weakly said hello to Wang Sheng: "Brother Sheng."
Immediately he was about to fall down, but Wang Yan scooped him up into his arms.
Wang Sheng looked at Wang Ye worriedly, and handed him the unfinished water he drank in the examination hall, "Why don't you drink some water and take it slow."
"Okay. "
Wang Yi responded, took the water, took a sip and gave it back to Wang Sheng.
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing this, Wang Sheng suggested: "Let's rent a bullock cart and return to the village quickly."
"Already I've rented it, and I'll wait for you to come out, and when you go backAt that time, I went back to the village and agreed with Tao Dacong to pick us up this evening. Now he is waiting at the city gate. "
Wang Wenqiu said aside, and he picked up Wang Ye on his back and picked up the kaolan in Wang Sheng's hand.
"Let's go, I'll put away the luggage in the inn and put it in the car. On. "
Everyone returned to Qinghe Town together. Wang Yi couldn't restrain his sleepiness in the car and fell asleep on Wang Yan's shoulder.
Wang Sheng has now finished the exam. Nothing happened, I was enjoying the scenery a little leisurely.
Wang Yan joked: "Brother Sheng, you finally have a smile on your face after passing the county examination. ”
“Yes?” "
Wang Sheng reflected on himself.
In his busy life recently, he was so busy that he wished he could go to the town alone to review old knowledge, and go to town to copy out the newspaper. There is also a person who is writing poems and strategies in his free time, and naturally brings this serious expression to his face.
"Maybe it's because I have been busy recently, so Brother Yan made fun of me. . "
"Why don't you rest for a while? It feels like you haven't rested in recent days. Your eyes are black and blue, and it looks like you were punched twice. "
Wang Sheng feels fine now and is not sleepy.
He has not lit up a lamp to read at night recently, mainly because the candlelight is too dim. In this era, I don’t know how to wear glasses. In order to be able to do it, it is better to protect your eyes.
As I lay in bed thinking about these knowledge, I fell asleep and I didn’t know when I would go home. Rest. "
Wang Yan did not talk about this matter anymore. Instead, he talked about other things and said: "Brother Sheng, please ask the second question, how to write it? ”
“In my humble opinion, it’s better to wait for the government to release the results, which is also the schedule for these two days.” "
It's okay if the answers are consistent. If they are inconsistent, I'm afraid Wang Yan will be affected by this and delay the exam in April.
Wang Sheng did not answer, but said: " If we prepare for the government examination and the college examination with peace of mind for the time being, there will only be forty days left until the county examination ends. ”
“Time waits for no one, or tomorrow we can go find the Master together and let the Master answer all your questions.” ”
“Then I will come to Brother Sheng to discuss it tomorrow. ”
“Okay. "
Wang Sheng readily accepted.
He said on the bullock cart that he was not sleepy. After dinner at home, he felt sleepy and fell asleep early.
