In order to facilitate candidates to find their own position as soon as possible, when issuing papers, the Gongyuan provided each candidate with a seat number passbook, which indicated the location of each font number building.

Shen Mo followed the guidance, arrived at the ninth row, stood on the corridor and looked inside, only to see seventy or eighty houses lined up in a long alley to the south, there was a gate at the entrance of the alley, and the soldiers guarding checked their names before letting Shen Mo in.

Shen Mo saw that the width of the alley was less than five feet, but it was very long, quite like an alley in a residential house. Each room is guarded by a military officer...... In fact, neither the marking officer nor the supervisor directly went to the examination alley to inspect the field, and the specific invigilators were actually these illiterate sergeants. This is because there are not so many invigilators, and it also prevents collusion between invigilators and candidates.

In fact, this kind of one-on-one invigilation is really not difficult, as long as it is forbidden to ask questions, prohibit cross-sitting, and prohibit the exchange of test papers.

There are also several large tanks filled with water, which are mainly used to extinguish fires and provide drinking water for candidates.

Shen Mo looked deeper, and saw the toilet at the end of the house, so he retracted his gaze and found the seventh room, as Xu Wei said, there were walls on three sides, the south side was open, and there was no door, the size was very similar to the toilet on the train in later generations, so I can imagine what the trumpet should be.

Shen Mo reached out to lift the trumpet board embedded in the brick support, wiped the dust on his hand, and looked closely, only to see that the house was densely covered with spider webs, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. Just now he came into the tribute courtyard, and when he saw that the place was clean and the ground was sprinkled with water, he was happy for a while, but he didn't expect that people only swept the streets, and personal hygiene had to be done personally.

There's no way to take the test! As a last resort, I had to roll up my sleeves and bring water and sweep the house out...... Of course, not only him, but the rest of the candidates in the alley are also cleaning...... When cleaning the house, Shen Mo saw that there were many messages from seniors written on the wall, such as so-and-so in this exam in a certain year, and some such as 'The fan is cool and windy, auspicious to the examination room, Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the head is in the Yuanlang. But what surprised him the most was a line of small characters inscribed in a very hidden place - Yuyao Wang Shouren Renzi tried to do this.

Shen Mo rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure that he had not seen the hell, he could not imagine that this was the place where the sage had struggled. Looking at the following, there are several candidates in the past 20 years, who have written words of worship, and they believe that a Jiazi past, the saint also used to clean here...... I can't help but balance a lot.

But excessive coincidences showed traces of axes and chisels, and Shen Mo felt that these ten ** were arranged by those Wang Xuemen. He couldn't help but shudder, and exclaimed in his heart: 'It's terrible, it's too easy to play with me.' I can't help but be in awe of those guys who don't pay much attention to it, and I don't dare to despise it anymore.

What are these people going to do? Silently closed his eyes and thought for a moment, feeling that it was not a bad thing anyway, so he stopped caring about it and continued to clean.

When the building was completely cleaned out, it was already sunset, and Shen Mo couldn't help but curse secretly: "Three days have passed, and I haven't even opened the exam papers." "I'll talk about it tomorrow, stuff the rolls directly into the roll bag, and prepare to cook and eat...... This is because the roll must not be damaged in the slightest, let alone wet or stained. So pack it in a roll bag with oiled paper in the middle to keep out moisture and moisture.

Shen Mo took out the small pocket boiler from the examination box and brought it to the alley, the number house was too small, everyone who wanted to cook had to get this four-foot-wide alley. But when he came out to work, there were almost no people in the alley.

Because from the beginning of entering the gate, there is no entourage to follow, whether it is moving the examination box or sweeping the examination room, everything has to be completed by these powerless scholars. One by one, they were so tired that they didn't even want to eat...... Of course, those who are too lazy to do it may have a larger surname, and of course, those who can't cook may also have a larger surname. The scholars are all ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and the hot food they make may hurt their bodies more than cold food.

In such an environment, it's really not just about learning from talents, if you can't even take care of yourself, you can vomit and diarrhea, dizziness and brain swelling, how can you write a good essay that pleases the examiner?

But people can cook when they are silent, and in last year's patrol, they did not eat and sleep in the open, and they suffered a lot, but they also strengthened their bodies and wills, so they can take good care of themselves at this time.

Therefore, it is not enough to just study, not help your parents with housework, and not insist on exercising.

Boil a pot of sticky japonica rice porridge, then break the twist flowers brought, put them in a bowl, and then pour the rice porridge on top, the crispy twist and the soft fragrance of the hot porridge are mixed together, and the fragrance is eye-catching.

I ate two large bowls of porridge in a row with the side dishes and the envious eyes of others, and felt much more comfortable both physically and mentally, so I returned to the house, moved my body in an extremely limited space, and went to sleep when I was almost digested...... The Gongyuan only issued three candles, and he was not ready to waste them today.

This strategy is right, because he didn't sleep well last night, and today he tossed all day, even if he wants to hurry up, his brain won't turn, it's better to sleep well and recuperate, and start answering questions tomorrow.

When he felt that it was almost over, he laid out the trumpet board, put on the bedding, turned on the mosquito repellent medicine, and went into the quilt and prayed: "Yang Minggong, don't come to me." And he fell asleep.

This sleep was really refreshing, and Yang Minggong didn't bother him, so he woke up naturally, opened his eyes and stretched his waist, and when he saw the sergeant in the prison field, he remembered that he was in the tribute courtyard.

He saw the admiration on the sergeant's face, and looked at the sky, it was already three poles. couldn't help but blush, quickly packed up the futon, took the pot out and made noodles, and didn't forget to purse two eggs...... The sergeant in the prison field couldn't help but secretly disdain: "After eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating, and eating, there is a good skin, but it turns out that it is stuffed with straw." ’

Shen Mo didn't know that he had been despised, and after tasting the noodles a little light, he added some soy sauce, which was really delicious, and he couldn't help but fall in love with Miss Yin more and more.

It wasn't until he had eaten and drunk enough to brush out the bowl and wiped the trumpet board clean that he sat back slowly, and finally opened the roll bag and took out the exam papers and answer sheets.

The exam papers were packed in a sealed envelope, and when opened, there were three questions and twenty questions from the Five Classics. Of course, I didn't do it all, otherwise Shen Mo wouldn't be so unhurried...... Three questions in the four books are equivalent to compulsory questions, but only one of the five scripture questions needs to be answered, that is, four questions, that is, a total of seven articles are written.

Of course, it's not that you choose which scripture is easy to choose when you look at the question on the paper, because on the answer sheet, what the candidate wants to choose is written three days ago. Of course, this is not an unpredictable prophet of the Gongyuan, but two days before the exam, all the candidates go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary, report their names, year first, place of origin, three generations, and the names of the candidates who are ready to take the exam, and the Yamen will print the paper and put it in the book, that is, write this information on the answer sheet, mark it with a seal, and then send it to the candidates themselves.

In other words, they came to the exam with the answer sheets, so as to save the pain of on-site identification and registration in the Gongyuan. Simply handing out the same draft and question papers to everyone will naturally improve efficiency. And candidates don't need to fill in their names anymore, and they can see the idea of the question when they come up, which is a win-win situation.

Shen Mo chose the four questions of "Spring and Autumn", but he already knew that from many years ago, Dabi marking paper formed the meaning of "four books" that only focused on the first test paper, especially the first one. As long as the papers of the 'Four Books' are selected, the examiner will not be serious about the papers of the other fields.

Therefore, he put most of his energy on the three questions and four book questions, and then considered the four questions of "Spring and Autumn" when he was perfect.

After reviewing the four book questions, Shen Mo had to admit that compared with the truncated questions of the donkey's lips that did not match the horse's mouth, it was still a dignified question that could test a person's talent and learning. I saw that the titles of the three questions, the sentences and the meaning of the text were very complete. In order to prevent confusion, the entire paragraph is also excerpted, and as long as those who have memorized the four books, they will know where the passage is, and the pain of guessing the question is completely eliminated.

After briefly reading the three questions, Shen Mo devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, focused on the topic recognition, the importance of the subject of the question, and grasped the relationship between the front and back sections very accurately, and then put down the pen to the point. The recognition of the topic is true, so it is within the reach of the pen, and there is no inconsistence. Although it is not a novelty, its articles and topics are seamless, dignified and upright, all of which are ancient grammar and law, and the words invent the rhyme of ancient sages.

The three questions were completed, and it was already noon the next day. Shen Mo spent half a day to make the four scriptures and righteous questions, although the degree of care can not be compared with the four book questions, but after all, his level is too high, the same Li Zhen Pharaoh, flowers, did not light a candle and handed in the volume.

When the papers came out, the people were already overdrawn, and they didn't go back to Xixi, so they went straight to a nearby inn, where Miss Yin chartered a cross-courtyard for them, and when they went, someone was waiting to eat and drink. Shen Mo saw that Xu Wei and Zhu Dashou had come out, and everyone looked tired, and they didn't even have the strength to speak. Hastily used something, silently went to take a bath, let the warm water soak, and actually leaned on the bathtub and fell asleep......
