Chapter 59 Blessing
Li Ang wrote the answers on the test paper with a pen like flying. The test paper of the first examination of the academy is divided into three parts, the scriptures, policy questions, and poems.
There are fifteen questions in one section of the scriptures, which are passages selected from examination books such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Shangshu", and are required to fill in the context and notes.
Li Ang is sure to fill in the twelve questions correctly, and the remaining three questions are from "Yili" and "Book of Changes".
And there is a question in one of the policy questions. The title is "The sending of the prison market has been difficult in the past. It is appropriate to be lenient and fierce, but it is not easy today. If things are slow, things will be deceitful, and if they are urgent, there will be no tolerance for treacherous people. The severity is shallow and deep, and it is not easy. Good advice."
Candidates are asked to discuss whether the criminal law of Yu State should be lenient or severe.
The answer of not making mistakes is naturally that the punishment should be a compromise between leniency and severe punishment, but it is very important to write the answer well.
The writing style is required to be both gorgeous and smooth, the article quotes classics, combines reality, the argument is clear, the argument is sufficient and reliable, and the logical reasoning process of the article is neither urgent nor slow, solid and stable
Li Ang glanced around from the corner of his eye.
The same examination room accommodated fifty candidates from all over the world and two invigilators. The desks of the candidates were separated from each other. Many people lay on their seats scratching their heads and fidgeting.
What's more, some people were so anxious that they were sweating profusely, and kept raising their sleeves to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, for fear that the sweat would drip down and pollute the test paper.
A quiet and solemn atmosphere enveloped the examination room, while the two invigilators were sitting at the back of the examination room, sipping tea leisurely.
If it weren't for the fear of making noise, these two would have moved to the chessboard to play chess.
"Swipe-"
The sound of the test paper rubbing against the table sounded, and I saw a girl with willow-leaf eyebrows wearing a jade hairpin with an expressionless face on the next table next to Li Ang, silently pulling away the test paper full of elegant hairpin flowers in lower case letters.
'Um? '
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party didn't want him to peek, and silently complained in his heart: 'As for what? I have had more exams than you have eaten. '
If you count the exam experience in the memory of the other world, he does have the amount of exercises that surpasses most students in this world.
Li Ang shook his head, and after a lot of thinking, he finally answered the question, heaved a long sigh of relief,
Suddenly, the candidates' wailing sounded in the examination room next door,
Before all the candidates raised their heads, the crying stopped abruptly and silence returned.
'diacritic,'
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Has anyone been found cheating?"
In the more than three hundred years of the Academy, the examination system tends to be perfected. Numerous cases have proved that cheating has no good end, but there are always some people who do not believe in evil.
‘Those invigilators from the Ministry of Rites may be just for display,
But the professors and doctors in the academy are all monks who listen to the rain and patrol the clouds. Don't try to hide the little tricks of ordinary candidates from them. '
Li Ang shook his head, and looked at the last two poems and prose questions calmly.
'It is required to limit the topic and make a poem and a fu. Same as title essay. '
Li Ang pursed his lips. The title of the poem is rivers, whether it is literally singing about rivers nourishing the people, or using scenery as a metaphor for people and things.
The title of the Fu is "Banding Yuanping Fu on the Western Regions".
The two questions are quite satisfactory. Li Ang had written similar poems and prose before as a preparation, so it didn't take long to fill out the test paper and hand it in ahead of time.
Those who raised their hands to hand in the paper together, and the girl with Liu Yemei at the next table,
The first exam of the academy is not just about doing questions. In addition to scriptures, poems, and policy questions, the compulsory exam also includes riding and shooting.
The vast and endless grassland on the bank of the river is set up for riding and archery.
The Academy has prepared hundreds of horses. Students need to choose their own horses and complete a lap on the elliptical track surrounded by fences. The shorter the time, the better the results.
The person who finishes answering the paper test paper first can go to the racecourse to choose a horse first, finish the race first, and go to the shooting range for archery.
Students who have not been able to hand in their papers for a long time will naturally have to choose tired horses that have already run several laps and exhausted their strength, and their academic performance will inevitably be inferior to others.
This is a question of trade-offs,
Like the students recommended by the Ministry of Military Affairs in the corner of the examination room, they knew that their literary skills were not good enough. After quickly filling out the paper test papers, they immediately handed in the papers in advance and went to the racecourse to select horses. With their eyes, they would naturally be able to select the best horses.
Through the extra points in riding and shooting subjects, it makes up for the lack of questioning in scriptures and poems.
"Swipe and pull."
The invigilator brought shredded paper and paste, pasted their names on the upper left corner of the papers of Li Ang and the girl at the next table, and nodded casually, "You can go."
Before the invigilator finished speaking, the two of them slammed the table together and rushed towards the rear gate of the examination room.
——
Chai Cuiqiao still prayed devoutly in Xuanxie Langfang on the lower reaches of the stream, "Gods of all walks of life, you must bless my young master, the king of medicine, the **** of land, Zixia Yuanjun, the queen mother, and the mother sent the son Guanyin broom Xingjun"
"嗤—"
The girl in fancy dress who was sitting next to Chai Cuiqiao originally suppressed her laughter, listening to Chai Cuiqiao's low-pitched prayer,
When I heard "Broom Star", I couldn't hold back completely, and raised my left hand to cover my mouth and chuckled.
"Um?"
Chai Cuiqiao raised her eyebrows, and glanced at the other party unceremoniously.
The girl next to her is wearing a white shirt and skirt made of Luo (a lighter silk fabric) with gold and silver threads on it, and a silk skirt on her shoulders. The lower part is covered by light yellow gauze,
Not far away, there are elite guards wearing leather armor, obviously rich or expensive.
In the usual way, Chai Cuiqiao would definitely secretly analyze the value of the other party's outfit and the grade of the rouge and gouache used.
But now her thoughts are all on Li Ang in the examination room, and she is not interested in scrutinizing him carefully—there are too many family members of dignitaries and dignitaries praying for their children in the pavilion.
Chai Cuiqiao curled her lips slightly unhappily, closed her mouth, and continued to pray silently in her heart.
"Is the girl also praying for her family?"
The girl in Chinese clothes put down her palm, and asked curiously through the light veil.
Chai Cuiqiao opened her eyes and glanced at her, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Pray for my family. Cough, Dalang."
There is no such thing as "Young Master" in Yu State, so in front of outsiders, you still have to call him Langjun or Dalang.
I almost slipped my tongue.
Chai Cuiqiao pretended to cough and asked casually, "You too, my lady?"
"Ah I."
Princess Yu, named Li Leling, subconsciously pinched the tortoise breath symbol on her right wrist through the cuff of her dress, "I am not. One of my elder brothers is already a student of the palace. This time I am here. Yes. watch the test."
