Lin Jue also suffered some difficulties at this level, but there was another reason. When they entered the house and were ordered to strip naked for inspection, several soldiers saw Lin Juesheng's handsomeness, and they planned to laugh at Lin Jue extraordinarily. If it looks handsome, but the thing underneath is short, it is exactly in response to the saying, 'The silver pewter gun head is useless.' ’。 Several handsome young men, whom the soldiers looked down on the most, had some hatred for this kind of person for some reason, so they were ready to laugh at it.

However, when Lin Jue stripped naked, several guys were stunned when they saw a huge mallet with a staggering size and thickness through a thin layer of cloth. It's unreasonable, this young man is not only handsome, but his capital is so good, it's unacceptable.

Perhaps with a sense of revenge, when they checked the bedding and dry food in the back, several people obviously had a sense of evil spirit. Cut the dozens of sugar cakes that Green Dance made for Lin Jue. It took Lu Wu all night to tear the cashmere quilt that Lin Jue had sewn all over the floor. even broke several tubes of brushes brought by Lin Jue. If it weren't for Lin Jue's eyes and anger, they were afraid that even the last wolf pen would be broken.

Lin Jue was angry in his heart, but he was helpless. The reason why the imperial examination of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so strict was precisely because there had been too much fraud in the imperial examination over the years, and many people's heads had moved because of this. This also greatly damaged the credibility of the imperial examination, and the corruption of the imperial examination can be said to have shaken the foundation of the Great Zhou, and the whole court knew this. Therefore, from the beginning of the hands of the former emperor, he adopted a severe and high-pressure crackdown on fraud in the scientific field. "Overkill sometimes needs to be overdone." These are the original words of the former emperor. It is under this principle that such an incredible strip search has come about. This search method is actually an insult to the candidate's example. If it weren't for this situation, how could the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was so civilized, have such an insulting move.

After an extremely harsh examination, the disheveled students were allowed to enter the examination room with tattered bedding, boxes of dry food that had been dismantled, and four treasures of the study on their backs. Of course, I also felt terrible after being humiliated.

The posture in the examination room was even more frightening, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the soldiers were angry and angry, and the officials were indifferent. On the surrounding walls, there are soldiers in the corner towers who condescendingly monitor the entire field. The future pillars of the country entered the examination room tremblingly in this atmosphere of facing a great enemy.

In the examination room, rows of old buildings stand densely, because they are only used once every three years, and few people come to repair and take care of them on weekdays. The sky was cloudy and rainy, the wind invaded the sun, and the whole tribute courtyard exuded an eerie atmosphere, and the smell of rotting wood and mildew was everywhere. These are especially in the Tribute Courtyard, and the situation of the newly built houses on the street outside the Tribute Courtyard is much better. It's a pity that Lin Jue's T-shaped No. 138 house is in the Gongyuan.

When Lin Jue walked into this dilapidated rectangular building less than five feet wide and less than seven feet deep, he couldn't believe his eyes. There was a pungent musty smell everywhere in the building, green moss grew on the green bricks in the corner, the floor was wet and dry, and there was a small puddle of water in one depression. The wind that blows from nowhere makes people feel cold. Lin Jue didn't know what mood to use to describe this situation.

The dignified Zhou Dynasty, the prosperous Hangzhou Chenggong Courtyard Building, is actually such a dilapidated appearance. The rumors I heard before turned out to be true. According to Lin Jue's old senior in Songshan Academy, the Hangzhou Gongyuan House can only be described by the word "pig house", and people are like a pig raised in it for three days. The old senior said that it was not how much money it cost to repair these houses, but that the imperial court deliberately did it and only did simple repairs. There is a lot of meaning in it. It means to remind every candidate that if they want to embark on the road to prosperity, they must remember that prosperity begins with hardship. The three days of the exam are not only an academic training, but also a mental and physical experience. It's like a phoenix rising in a nest of grass, and a dragon soaring in a quagmire, both of which have profound intentions.

Lin Jue didn't care at all when he heard these words, because in his previous life, he had taken the test four times in the Hangzhou Gongyuan House, and the number house in his impression was definitely not so tattered. Although the pattern is the same, the same narrow. It's cramped, but it's definitely not as miserable as it seems. So when I heard the senior say this, I thought that the senior who had taken the three exams was bragging and gossiping. But now I found out that this is really the case. This also proves Lin Jue's hunch that many things in this life are different from the previous life. And the hope that I had placed the same title for this imperial examination as in the previous life may have also been lost.

In any case, now is no longer the time to complain, in fact, the vast majority of candidates do not care about the bad number. What they thought in their hearts was that in the past three days, they would rack their brains to change their fate. It's not really bad if it's bad, it's really bad.

In an instant, more than 30,000 candidates finally entered the examination room. Although tens of thousands of people were in the halls of the streets, there was an unexpected silence in the examination room.

Finally, the chief examiner gave the order, and a dozen groups of soldiers, led by several deputy proctors, walked along their respective areas. One member of the team began to recite the rules of the exam room aloud. These rules are nothing more than some precautions and rules for answering questions, penalties for cheating, etc., which are so detailed that they are almost cumbersome. For example, it is stipulated in the rules for answering questions, and if the words are written outside the scope of the prescribed answers, the results of the imperial examination will be invalidated. Seventeen words per line of the article, one more word or one less word will be invalidated. In all this, there are more than 30 incomprehensible rules.

The monotonous and piercing sound of the reading echoed over the examination room, and all the candidates stood still in the pigsty-like building, waiting for the sound to end. Thankfully, these rules were soon announced. A long "lock" sound by more than ten people relay throughout the entire examination room, and then listen to the sound of the wooden door clanging one after another, the sound of the chain clanging, all the wooden doors of the house are wrapped in chains, locked with a big lock. Except for the small open square on the wooden door, the entire building is completely isolated from the outside world.

One by one, the test papers were handed in through the small hole in the wooden door of the house, and at three o'clock, three horns rang out in the sky, and the three-day autumn examination finally officially began.

……

Today is the first one, and the test is 'Thesaurus' and 'Moyi'. This was the easiest of the three days. But for those who study hard and diligently, the scriptures should not be an obstacle. Of course, it's not all without its challenges. After all, when it comes to eight or nine classic works, it is not easy to memorize them all and know their meanings. This difficulty is only compared to the later links that need to use real kung fu to write articles, such as poems, fu, and strategies.

In fact, the arrangement of this kind of examination is still somewhat scientific, and on the first day of entering the examination room, the candidates and students are actually very nervous psychologically, and the messy inventory will also make the candidates feel unstable. At this time, taking this kind of rote-based test questions can just relieve their mood. As soon as I came up, I had to make an article, which must be a little difficult. After the first day, many people were in a calm mood and adapted to the atmosphere of the exam, and then they would show their true skills in the later links.

Lin Jue only glanced at the question a few times, then smiled bitterly and sighed. The exam questions were completely different from the first exam questions in my memory, and the luck I had before was completely shattered. This further proves that this life and the previous life have been very different in many things, and it also strengthens Lin Jue's confidence that he cannot judge the situation by experience.

The difference in the exam questions did not make Lin Jue feel down, he was not in a hurry to answer the questions, but began to clean up the musty smell. Trapped here for three days, Lin Jue couldn't stand the cold, mildew, dampness and strange smell here. Fortunately, there are brooms and other things in each house, and Lin Juezai carefully cleaned the house. Put the moss in the corner of the wall and the garbage on the ground from the pothole, and step on it with your feet. A few adobe bricks are sprinkled on the ground to absorb moisture. After tossing for a long time, I finally cleaned up the visible garbage mildew in the house. After that, he took out the incense stove and lit a few rose incense pieces, and as the smoke dispersed, the strange smell in the house was finally covered by the pleasant smell of incense tablets, and his breathing became smoother.

Next, Lin Jue took out the small iron furnace he brought in, which was a kind of stove that was lit with lamp oil, and it was very small in size, similar to the alcohol stove on earth. Dozens of wicks are lit up and can be used for cooking. There is a small water tank in the corner of the room, which has been filled with water before, and it is for the candidates to use for three days. Lin Jue filled half a pot of water with a small copper kettle and boiled it on the stove. He took out the sparse tea cake that had been pinched by the soldiers who had entered the field, wrapped a small bag in a cloth and threw it in the pot to make tea.

Soon after, the smell of roses mixed with tea filled the house. Lin Jue made a cup of hot tea, sat on the wooden board, and drank tea slowly. After the tea was in my stomach, my heart was a lot more comfortable and a lot more stable.

The invigilators who were wandering outside walked under the wooden porch in front of the number house, attracted by the situation in house number 138, and they looked at the young man in the room in amazement. Everyone else has already begun to write hard, this one is good, pour tea and incense to enjoy. However, when the candidates enter the dormitory, the time to answer the questions is determined by themselves, as long as they don't cheat or make trouble, they can't be controlled. So the invigilator didn't have anything to say, just shook his head and walked away. I thought: I'm afraid this guy is a rich man, and he can't stand it. This autumn exam, I'm afraid it's just a formality, and I know that I can't pass the exam.
