After Lin Sangua entered the examination room, he was led by the yamen servants to his examination position.

After sitting down and waiting for him to place everything he brought neatly, the examiner came over at this time.

Astonishingly, he was the magistrate of Wulian County. He was wearing official uniform today, which was different from the regular ones he had seen before.

It's true that a man relies on his clothes rather than his gold. He originally had an impressive aura, but now he looks even more majestic.

As soon as the magistrate appeared, the originally noisy examination room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop to the ground.

Then the county magistrate made an opening speech, which was nothing more than some discipline issues in the examination room. Of course, there was also some precedent and some words of encouragement.

Finally, the exam questions were released.

Then the test papers were distributed, going from dormitory to dormitory.

For a moment, the sound of paper flying was silent in the examination room.

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he had already left.

After all the examination papers were distributed, several government officials walked back and forth in the examination room to supervise the students' examinations.

Of course, the county magistrate, as the examiner, will come out from time to time to take a look.

After Sangua received the test paper, he was not in a hurry to answer the questions, but simply reviewed the questions.

This first test, to be honest, is quite simple.

The first few questions are Mo Yi, which are simple question and answer questions. There are about fifty questions.

Then there are poems and poems, three poems and one poem.

Then there are the scripture notes, which are fill-in-the-blank questions and silent writing. There are also fifty or sixty questions.

After that comes the meaning of the scriptures, which is about discussing the points in the book.

Argument.

There are only a few questions, and the policy analysis has not yet begun.

These questions are what students have to complete during these five days.

According to the amount of questions, these five days are quite a lot of time.

Except for Mo Yi and Tie Jing, they don’t require much thinking. As long as you have a good memory, you can answer them completely.

But there are a lot of topics, and it would take a whole day to talk about them.

The trouble lies in poetry and classic meaning. Poetry cannot be copied from predecessors. You have to compose a few poems on the spot.

Some people have no inspiration and cannot write good poems.

Although there are only a few poems, most people have to think about them for two days before they can come up with them. However, the poems they come up with may not necessarily be good.

Of course, some smart people also compose poems impromptu.

But in order to pursue a higher realm, they will revise and modify it, which will take at least a day.

The most troublesome part is the meaning of the scriptures. There are five questions in total. The answer to this question is relatively long, and some people may not be able to complete it in three days.

It also takes a day to meet someone who is full of thoughts and ideas.

All in all, for ordinary people, this exam is a hellish challenge.

However, this so-called hellish challenge has actually just begun.

Compared with the subsequent government examinations, college examinations, and rural examinations, it really pales in comparison.

Especially the college examination and the provincial examination are more difficult because of the weather.

Of course, the last step of going to Beijing to take the exam is even more difficult.

Because the exams are held in January and February in the spring, students have to take exams in the coldest months of winter, in a drafty dormitory, which is really a hardship.

In the past, many students froze to death in the examination room.

The degree of difficulty is beyond the imagination of most people.

Lin Sangua spent half a day just reviewing the questions.

The government officials who were going back and forth to supervise him were quite curious when they saw that he was different from others. Most of the day had passed, but he had not made any move to write.

Other students, after the test papers were distributed, could not wait to start answering the questions.

After half a day passed, some people had already completed a lot of questions, but everyone was still busy writing. For lunch, they just had a piece of crushed pancake and some boiled water, and that was enough.

Lin Sangua, however, raised his hand to indicate that he was going to get some water to heat up and heat up the pancakes before eating them.

Lin Sangua's pancakes were only broken in half and not completely crushed when they came in for inspection because they were stuffed with money.

When the yamen servant learned that he was going to cook, he was a little speechless.

He had been observing this guy all morning, and he had done nothing. He turned over the test papers over and over again, not knowing what he was looking at.

It's almost noon, so I'm not in a hurry to answer the questions, but I want to make something to eat.

He began to wonder if this guy was serious about taking the exam, why did he think it was such a joke?

Because of this, the government officials were a little impatient with Sangua.

With him like this, isn't this nonsense?

Lin Sangua didn't care about him at all. After fetching water, he put the pot on the small stove.

First put a little oil in the pan, just a thin layer, and then put the corn tortillas down and fry them. They were sizzling, and a scent suddenly wafted in the examination room.

The hungry candidates who had been hungry for a long time were unable to concentrate even more after smelling this fragrance.

The test questions are up.

I have obviously eaten several of them, but after smelling the aroma, my stomach miraculously growled again.
Chapter completed!
