The sound of the snare drum became louder and louder, the sound of gongs and guzheng gradually receded, and suddenly the sound of the flute suddenly sounded, and with a "dong" sound, the big drum struck!
Kong Nianwen shot the arrow instantly. At this time, he had no time to care about whether he hit the target. He just heard the sound of cymbals, followed by the sound of big drums, which struck down and captured the soul.
The snare drum and the cymbals sound, and the quarter notes form a beat. The bass drum is hit on the strong beat, and the snare drum is hit on the weak beat. After doing this for six times, his forehead was already covered with fine sweat, but he could not wipe it off because wiping was not only against etiquette, but also for fear of missing the sound of the drum.
Wang Sheng watched as his archery movements became faster and faster with the music. However, when the gong was struck with great force, making a huge noise, it also heralded the climax of the music. It's coming to an end.
Sure enough, with a strike of the gong, the sound of the cymbals receded, leaving only the sound of the small drum, which was struck repeatedly.
Suddenly, the surroundings were silent.
It was at this quiet time that the guzheng was strummed and played, and the melodious flute sound slowly merged with the sound of the guzheng.
When people are caught off guard, the big drum beats "dong dong dong dong -" four times in a row, each sound getting weaker and weaker, like a song coming from a distance, which makes people feel peace and joy from the bottom of their hearts.
For the listeners, it is indeed an audio-visual feast, but for the test takers, they need to shoot four arrows within a certain limit after the drum is beaten, and there must be no arrows between them. Errors and omissions.
Wang Sheng saw a student who hurriedly took out arrows, but instead took out the extra arrows and dropped them on the ground. Naturally, the recorder would not miss this illegal move, and recorded it in this person's name. The last "wrong" word.
The sound of big drums and small drums receded, and the sound of guzheng gradually became thinner. Gradually, only the sound of flute remained.
The sound of the flute floats melodiously and echoes continuously, haunting the hearts of countless people, and gradually blows to the end.
As soon as the sound of the flute stops, candidates who have not shot ten arrows are not allowed to shoot again. They can only stay where they are, waiting for the recorder to come forward to verify the target score, and then hand the note to the Yamen. It was handed over to Bai Xueguan by the Yamen servant.
As a result, everyone on the field stopped for another half-quarter of an hour, waiting for the results of the first group of test takers to be announced.
Kong Nianwen frowned and looked at his grass target filled with arrows. His calm heart finally stopped beating because it was clearly visible above that an arrow broke away from the large army and landed on the periphery.
After Xueguan Bai finished processing these notes, he went on stage and read out: "Kong Nianwen, the number of hits: four, six, seven, four, five, seven, three, three, three, one, his manners are excellent, and finally Results - above average."
Kong Nianwen was obviously relieved after hearing the results and showed a long-lost smile.
Xueguan Bai continued his narration one by one. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked into the venue. Everyone was confused and waiting for his announcement.
"Pu Yinglin, the number of hits: four, three, six, five, five, six, one, one, three, one, poor manners, final result——"
Pu Yinglin, this person Wang Sheng has heard a little about, this person has been in Class B for decades, Naturally, Bai Xueguan turned a blind eye and didn't pay any attention to the archery lessons.
This man had a good score in the examination and was ranked in the thirties. , already surpassing most students in the government schools. He also talked loudly in Class B. Talking about the provincial examination was no less than searching for something.
Wang Sheng has already been promoted to Class A. , why did you hear about this matter?
This is naturally due to the fact that this matter is widely circulated in the government, and anyone can tell Pu Yinglin's deeds.
Xueguan Bai closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "I'm inferior. "
As soon as these words came out, not only Pu Yinglin was stunned on the spot, but everyone present was shocked.
Under normal circumstances, if there are no major mistakes, he will never be judged. Because his manners are inferior. Moreover, all the arrows hit the target without missing the target. Normally, he would be considered "average", but now he is simply "inferior" and has no chance of taking the provincial examination.
This chapter is not finished yet. , click on the next page to continue reading.
This is no less than a bolt from the blue.
Pu Yinglin naturally did not accept this situation and directly shouted: "Bai. Examiner, how do you judge this? I've only violated the rules twice, so I'm definitely not a low-class person! "
The students in the examination room were afraid that it would be their turn to do something like this. Although they did not shout loudly, they did whisper a lot in their mouths.
"Quiet! "
Bai Xueguan shook his head and sighed: "I received the message from the ceremony room. This manner not only depends on whether you shoot the arrow first and whether the arrow falls out of the quiver, but more importantly, you Waiting for the attitude of dealing with this matter. Pu Yinglin, after someone stopped shooting the flute, do you know why he got the middle or lower rank, but you could only get the lower rank? ”
“Just because you put down your bow at will after taking the shot and observed the candidates around you. When you were taking the arrow during the exam, you accidentally dropped the arrow on the ground, but you did not return it in time. Instead, you waited for the arrow in the quiver to be empty, and then took it directly from the ground. ”
Wang Sheng now fully understands the scoring standards here. Just like on the battlefield, a soldier must pick up his equipment in time if he accidentally drops it. This candidate should not, should not, should not He stepped on the arrow under his feet.
Pu Yinglin was speechless and did not respond.
"You should take this as a warning and don't do it again. There was no objection to this, and all candidates left in an orderly manner with the government officials. "
Pu Yinglin lowered his head, and his originally straight back was a little rickety.
The ten candidates who had finished the exam passed in front of Wang Sheng. The leader, Kong Nianwen, smiled brightly. The frown on his face just now disappeared, and when he glanced at Wang Sheng, he actually raised his eyebrows at Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng's expression remained unchanged., watching Kong Nianwen pass in front of him, he couldn't help but see Pu Yinglin, who seemed to be returning to the west.
He turned his wrist, and instead of taking a closer look, he stared at the band stage.
At this time, he had already realized that the song just now was a harmonious movement praising the return of the soldiers. Now, the musicians have not changed, which proves that there may be no new additions to these instruments.
However, for this movement, it is unclear.
Wang Sheng shook his head and suddenly heard Academic Officer Bai shouting: "Twenty groups of candidates are entering!"
He first handed his token to the verification officer and waited for the verification to pass. Wear it around your waist.
This time, he took the lead and followed the yamen servant to the bow and arrow equipment place.
"Candidates take bows and arrows!"
Wang Sheng followed the instructions and chose the bow and arrow that suited him.
Although rocky bows and arrows have a longer range, this test is not about who can shoot farther and hit more targets, but about etiquette, so naturally you must choose some lightweight bows. Just look at the skill, but also take into account the situation of continuous shooting. If you choose a bow and arrow that is too heavy, you will easily be slowed down and unhappy.
Of course, not too light a bow. If the light bow is too strong, it will break accidentally.
Wang Sheng explored it for a long time, then weighed it in his hand and tried to pull the bow.
He finally found a suitable bow and carefully checked the arrows. There were no errors. The yamen servant stepped forward to remind the students that the exam was about to begin.
