Fang Yingwu is assigned to the number of the four numbers in this row, and this four is not the fourth four, but the four of the "four big five constants" in the thousand-character text.

Fang Yingwu is a person who belongs to Kung Fu outside the field, and he didn't do anything in the examination room, and the number room was also randomly arranged. After separating from the two friends, Fang Yingwu carried the lantern and looked for his own house.

In the Gongyuan, the density of the number houses is extremely high, and there are dozens or hundreds of rooms in each row, each of which is only three or four feet long and wide. At the same time, each row is only spaced four feet apart, forming a narrow alley of tens of meters.

At a glance through the moonlight, it seemed to be layers of fish scales, and getting closer reminded Fang Yingwu of the chicken coop in the chicken farm. That's right, it's like a chicken coop, and the real size of each house is not much larger than a chicken coop, and it will be crammed into one person before dawn.

Fang Yingwu slowly found the four-character row, and there was an old sergeant standing at the narrow alley. After Fang Yingwu confirmed that it was correct, he walked through the door and walked into the alleyway.

In the open space outside the alleyway, there is moonlight overhead, torches and lanterns around, and the brightness is okay. However, as soon as you enter the narrow alleyway that can only accommodate you, the light suddenly dims, and it feels extremely lonely.

Suddenly remembering Xiang Chengxian's ghost story, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but shudder, and then hurriedly drove him out. After taking two more steps, I suddenly found that there was a faint half of a human leg in front of me, parallel to the ground, hanging straight in the airway on the roadway, shaking with the evening breeze

No way! Rao is Fang Yingwu is bold and does not believe in ghosts and gods, and when he suddenly saw this scene, his heart was furious, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

This retreat, and the exit from the alley. The old sergeant at the door glanced at Fang Yingwu strangely, and then glanced into the alleyway. Suddenly realized, he shouted: "The minister inside closes his legs!" It's in the way of others! ”

But I saw that the half of the leg shrank and gave way to most of the alley. Fang Yingwu's eyes had adapted to the dark environment in the alleyway. At this time, I also saw clearly, it turned out that this half of the leg was stretched out from a certain room.

Room No. is too small. A few feet in length can't support a person's height at all, and if you want to sleep in it, you really have to stretch your legs out

Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly a few times, he really scared himself. Then he carried the lantern and found his room, fortunately, there was a distance from the toilet in the lane, so that he would not take the test for three days with the smell of the toilet.

Fang Yingwu made a few gestures, the width of the front of the room was about one meter, and the depth inside was no more than one and a half meters. The size of the area is like a phone booth in the previous life. To sit in this place for a day is really enough to suffer, and this imperial examination is really a very painful thing.

Two planks have been set up in the room, the one with a higher one on the outside can be used as a table, and the lower one on the inside can be used as a seat.

Thinking of Hong Song's instructions, Fang Yingwu threw the test basket in the corner of the room, and then removed the wooden plank at the high place and put it on the low place again, so that the two wooden planks were on the same plane, barely enough for people to lie on it.

I was tired for most of the night. Fang Yingwu was indeed a little sleepy, so he climbed onto the wooden board and took a nap. And it also stretched out half of its leg from the room and hung in the airway on the roadway

The sky brightened, and the exam questions were sent down. The 16-year-old Zhejiang Township Examination in Chenghua was officially opened.

The township test is divided into three sessions, the first is the scriptures, and the second is the application of literature. The third is Shi Ce. But only the first sutra is the most important, so to speak. I did well in the first exam, and I can win the next two games, no matter how bad I am.

The so-called eight-strand taker. It refers to the fact that the imperial examination only focuses on the first Jingyi, and the examiner also decides whether to admit or not according to the first article, and the next two official documents and Shi Ce are basically the foil for going through the motions.

In the first session, there are seven questions, including three questions in four books and four questions in the Pentateuch. These three questions and four books are the same for all candidates, and the four questions of the Five Classics are for candidates to choose four out of twenty questions to answer according to their own scriptures.

There is a saying that three games are heavy on the first game, and the first game is heavy on four books. Often three four-book articles, especially the first one, can decide the fate of the candidate, and the general examiner does not have so much energy to carefully read all the articles of everyone.

After the question was issued, most of the candidates took a few glances and wrote a draft on the manuscript paper after a little thought.

There is only one day to answer the questions, and the papers must be handed in before dusk. During this time, seven essays had to be written, and each essay had to be strictly in line with the eight-strand style, so it can be said that the intensity of the exam was quite large, and those who were not good at the brain could not even finish the answers.

Fang Yingwu was not in a hurry, he carefully read the question twice, and he had the bottom in his heart. Among the three questions and four book questions, two of them were known in advance and had a draft at this time, and the other was not prepared.

Fang Yingwu remembered the tips taught by Shang Xianggong, an expert in the exam: "Three articles and four books are particularly important, you have to write the first article first, then the third article, and Zuihou write the second article."

Because the further back you go, the more tired you become, the worse the essay you write. If the three essays are not as good as one according to the normal order, it will be boring, look sluggish, and give the examiner a very bad impression.

If you follow what the old man said, then after reading the three articles, the first one is the best, the second one is the worst, and the third article becomes slightly better, then it feels much better in the eyes of the examiner. ”

Fang Yingwu concluded that the first article should have a climax, the middle article should be pressed, and the third article should have a small climax

This time his luck is really good, the first and third topics are carefully made in advance, only the second topic needs to be written by himself. In this way, the combination of the three articles naturally forms the best rhythm with climactic ups and downs.

The exam lasts from dawn to dusk, about six hours. When Fang Yingwu finished the three questions and four questions, only an hour had passed, so he had a lot of time.

Then I did four more questions about the Five Classics without hurry, and the specific quality is unknown. Anyway, he "has someone in it", as long as the title of the three and four books can explain the past, and at the same time do not forget to use secret notes in the article, then it is fine.

The Four Books are a little faster than others, the Five Classics are a little slower than others, and when it was close to dusk, Fang Yingwu handed in the papers, carried the examination basket and walked out of the Tribute Academy, and Wang Ying was already waiting outside the door.

After sitting in a palm-sized space for a whole day, Fang Daxiu was tired at this time, and he didn't want to go to the two friends, so he only threw the test basket to Wang Ying, and said weakly: "Go home quickly!" ”

After resting for two days and two nights, I relieved myself, and on the evening of the 11th, I set off to take the second exam. At this time, Qingyun Street and Gongyuan were much more lively inside and outside, and the voices were full of people, not as dull as last time.

The reason is also very simple, the most important first exam has ended, and the last two are mostly in form, of course, it is not as serious and nervous as the first one.

The search procedure is the same, and the second test is completed in the evening of the next day. Then on August 15, the third exam was completed, and this time the township exam was over, and we are only waiting for the results.

Ninety-five of the 4,000 candidates were admitted, less than three percent, and the probability of buying a lottery ticket was like. It is conceivable that there will definitely be another tragicomedy in the world at that time.

But Fang Yingwu didn't care about thinking about this, after the exam, he just wanted to lie still and not move, and even his little brother couldn't stand up for the time being, the township exam was simply too tiring.

It's a kind of torture from mental to physical, and he still has a plug-in, I really don't know how others survive. (To be continued......)
