During the examination, Huang Tinghui was almost fluent in writing.
Different from the county examination, Huang Tinghui has been staying in the examination room these days.
Even eating was spent in the examination room.
Only when going to the toilet, Huang Tinghui would inform the officer in charge of supervising the examination room.
Only then do you have the opportunity to leave the examination room.
This time, Huang Tinghui was assigned a good location in the examination room.
Because the imperial examination is a huge project, the examination is conducted in order to accommodate the candidates.
The officials responsible for the construction of the examination center naturally made the best use of every inch of land.
Many candidates were assigned to exam rooms that were easily exposed to rain, and some were even assigned to "stinky rooms" near toilets.
Think about it, if you spend so many days taking exams with the toilet, how can your grades improve?
After the exam, my whole body will be emitting a nauseating odor.
The smell is probably not much different from falling into a latrine.
When Huang Tinghui went to the toilet, he happened to see Gong Zicheng's nose with two pieces of paper stuffed in his nose, and his face drooped, as if he had been visiting a brothel for three days.
This sight shocked Huang Tinghui and left him speechless for a long time.
It was only at the urging of the guards that Huang Tinghui calmly went to the toilet next door to Gong Zicheng's "Stinky Hao".
Huang Tinghui, who came out of the toilet, suddenly remembered something.
"Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond what he can do."
Fatty Gong first experienced the temptation of beauty, and then experienced the experience of "bad name".
Isn't this treatment the setbacks the "protagonist" experienced before cheating in the history books?
Although Huang Tinghui thought so, when he passed by Fatty Gong's "stinky horn" and saw Fatty Gong's ecstatic look, Huang Tinghui still walked over quickly.
It’s okay not to have this experience!
I don’t know if Fatty Gong will “lose his wisdom” and “reborn” after going through this “bad name” exam.
After several days of suffering, the government examination finally came to an end.
Compared with the county examination, the government examination was not the first imperial examination.
Compared with the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination, the government examination seems so inconspicuous.
But for Huang Tinghui, this is a different kind of experience.
After all, he has never slept in an "examination room" for candidates to take exams.
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are worthy of being one of the major towns in science and technology. The format of the government examination is similar to that of the provincial examination, the joint examination and the palace examination.
Fortunately, this exam also allowed Huang Tinghui to adapt to this exam format in advance.
Compared with Fatty Gong's "stinky whistle", Huang Tinghui's examination room was not exposed to the wind or rain.
It can be said to be excellent!
After handing in the last test paper, Huang Tinghui breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the cloud plate sounded.
This also announced that the exam was officially over.
The guards didn't care whether the candidates had finished the test or not, they forced them to put away the test papers.
The examination room was suddenly filled with howls of wolves and ghosts.
"Let me write a few more words, let me write a few more words!"
"It's over, it's over. I haven't even had time to write down the article on the manuscript paper. I'm going to hand in a blank paper!"
"It's so stupid that you didn't copy it on the test paper for so long. Are you here to practice calligraphy?"
In the examination room, there were many candidates who were frustrated, and there were also many candidates who were elated and thought they had performed well.
In short, all the postures of life are revealed at this moment.
Looking at this situation, Huang Tinghui felt like he was dreaming back to his student days, when the teacher would hand out test papers with test scores.
Just when Huang Tinghui was filled with emotion, a burst of exclamation suddenly came, "Hahaha, hahaha!"
"I got it, I got it!"
"I am the number one scholar, I am the number one scholar in Dasheng Kingdom!"
"You...you, and you, do you know that I am the number one scholar in this dynasty, I can be an official, I can become a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and I can join the cabinet in the future!"
"I'm hit, I'm hit!" The man grabbed his hair tie and looked like he was going crazy.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Why don't you come to congratulate me!"
The scholar saw the people around him looking at him with extremely surprised looks, and immediately became unhappy.
But soon, a government official threw the scholar to the ground.
"Let me go, let me go!"
"Bold, bold, what are you doing?"
"Do you know who I am? I am the No. 1 Scholar of the day, and you dare to be rude to the No. 1 Scholar!"
"Do you want to die?" The scholar struggled desperately, his eyes were crazy, and he was a little confused.
However, after hearing the scholar's words, the government officials did not let go of their hands.
They carried the crazy-looking scholar and rushed him out of the door.
"Alas, this scholar has taken the government examination almost ten times, but every time he fails, and every time he is not on the list!"
"This man's family is poor. His wife relies on sewing clothes to support the family. The family is almost in trouble. This is also his last chance to take the imperial examination!"
"I didn't expect that I ended up going crazy!" A scholar said with emotion after watching the crazy-looking Zhang Shusheng being carried out by the government officials.
"This is another crazy one!!"
"In the past, something like this happened almost every year. I didn't expect it would be Zhang Shusheng this year!"
Another scholar interjected, watching Scholar Zhang being dragged out by the yamen, he felt quite sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died.
"Have you heard about Scholar Cao who took the government examination last year? As soon as the government examination ended, this guy jumped into the Qiantang River!"
“It’s so terrible”
Listening to these candidates talking about some scholars who lost their mentality after taking the exams in previous years and eventually went to extremes.
Huang Tinghui couldn't help but sigh. He had only read the stories of "Fan Jin Jin Ju" and "Kong Yiji" in textbooks before, and he didn't have much impression at that time.
Now that I am in it, I have a deeper understanding of the imperial examinations, and I can better understand the mental journeys of figures like Fan Jin and Kong Yiji.
Sad and deplorable!
Fortunately, Huang Tinghui is heartless and has little ambition.
Not to mention that he was already 80% or 90% sure of passing this exam.
Even if he failed this exam, Huang Tinghui would not be much affected.
The reason why he took the imperial examination was first to improve his quality of life. After all, there is an old saying in this era: Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only way to improve his quality of life.
The second is also for the little girl, for the old patriarch, and for Uncle Erzhu and the others.
As for the idea of ​​​​helping the world and calming the people, Huang Tinghui does not have it.
He can eat as much cake as he wants, but he doesn't have Wang Shouren's cunning life, nor does he have Zhang Julu's courage to be "willing to be chopped off" and "not afraid of life and death".
Huang Tinghui's understanding is very clear, that is, he is just an ordinary person who wants to pass the imperial examination to make himself and the people around him live a better life.
But at this time, Huang Tinghui did not know that something would change his mind.
It's brewing and on the verge of breaking out!
