The so-called "recognition of official seals" can be simply understood as an admission ticket, but it is relatively complicated.

Because there were no ID cards and image recognition tools like photos in ancient times, it was impossible to know what all candidates looked like when checking the military service. In order to prevent someone from writing for the exam, this kind of anti-cheating method was derived.

"Recognition of the Seal of Official Seal" is an administrative document. When Chen Yichen applied for the examination and filled out the materials in the county's ritual room, the recognition of the officer next to him would fill out the administrative document, which also contained Chen Yichen's basic information and was stamped with an official seal.

More importantly, there will be a signature of the identifiable official in this administrative document.

If you suspect that any candidate has any problems, the cognitive officer will come out to identify the signature handwriting and determine whether the admission ticket is forged.

This method is equivalent to adding an official insurance in addition to the settlement and insurance, which is to ensure the fairness and justice of the imperial examinations and the examinations as much as possible.

Chen Yichen couldn't ask someone to write for the exam. If he had this idea, he wouldn't have been a school child for so many years. In addition, the food and clothing he prepared were also very clear about the taboos, so the search was released soon.

After entering the examination room, the first thing I saw was not the examination room, but a two-story main building called Duzhi Building. This is the place where the chief examiners and deacons were alert and issued orders during the entire county examination.

After each candidate enters the examination room, he must first go to the main hall of this building to meet the examiner to verify his identity. Then the official will receive his own account and distribute the test papers.

Chen Yichen was very familiar with the terrain here and strode into the main hall of Duzhilou, but he seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, today's chief examiner can barely be called an "old acquaintance."

Jiangning County Magistrate Zhou Shun sat in the middle of the lobby with the county magistrate and the instructor on both sides.

Today's county examination was the first time Zhou Shun took the lead in the examination after he became the magistrate of Jiangning. Although the county examination was not like the imperial examination, the chief examiner was named a teacher, but it was no matter how it was to absorb talents for the emperor, and this sense of honor was very impressive.

However, as time went by, and he maintained a majestic sitting position for a long time, Zhou Shun felt his back and back pain. At the beginning, the sense of honor had long disappeared, so he hoped that the students could come in quickly and end their visits early and formally start the exam.

A schoolboy just left, and another schoolboy was about to come in outside the hall. Zhou Shun was already numb in this scene today. He didn't have the time to carefully see who the visitor was, so he was ready to go through the process.

"Jiangning students Chen Yichen, pay homage to their parents."

"Well, I hope the toad palace will win the glory, go down."

"The student leaves."

Chen Yichen bowed his farewell and was about to follow the clerk to the number house, but suddenly he heard a voice coming from the hall: "Wait!"

"What else is more than just the parents?"

Chen Yichen lowered his head and asked.

However, no matter how much you lower your head, it would be useless. Zhou Shun looked at him with a very strange expression on his face and said, "My friend Chen, we are meeting again."

When the title of Chen Xiaoyou came out, Zhou Shun's county magistrates and teachers looked at him with strange eyes. He was just a student who had not yet entered school. The dignified Jiangning magistrate called him Xiaoyou?

Could it be that this is a young master from a certain aristocratic family who greeted Zhou Zhixian and needed special care?

Even so, just be sure to understand the hidden rules in your heart, and don’t do so openly and secretly. It seems that this new magistrate still doesn’t understand the way of being an official.

Unlike other officials in the hall, Chen Yichen knew that Zhou Shun remembered the past that he had deceived him when he heard the title of Chen Xiaoyou.

The reason why he lowered his head and wanted to meet and leave quickly was because he was afraid that Zhou Shun would be cautious and hold grudges. What if he puts his shoes on him?

You should know that there are advantages and disadvantages of things like the vocabulary. New vocabulary are all brick wall structures, and in the cold spring of February, you can be less exposed to cold wind. However, the inferior vocabulary may not even have a roof, and it will be like a rooster falling from wind and rain.

It would be fine if I was in the rain, but I was dizzy when I was in the rain. Then this county exam would have to fight again next year.

So this is not a secret operation, it is obviously a fear of being retaliated against!

"Hehe, the parents are polite, the students can't afford it."

Chen Yichen smiled awkwardly and called himself a friend in front of everyone. It seemed that the visitor was not kind.

In fact, Chen Yichen really misunderstood Zhou Zhixian. He called him a friend. He didn't think about revenge, so he deliberately teased him. Instead, he didn't react and just called him subconsciously.

Although Chen Yichen deceived him to be a student at the family dinner of Duke Cheng's Mansion that day, County Magistrate Zhou did not hold such a grudge against such minor issues of rank and etiquette.

On the contrary, if Chen Yichen was not there that day, he would be the official with the lowest status on the table, and would be extremely restrained and humble when facing a group of big bosses and high-ranking officials.

Chen Yichen's existence in a sense gave Zhou Shun a "same" feeling, and he could easily talk and chat without caring about the red tape of his identity and status.

Not to mention the talent that Chen Yichen showed later made Zhou Shun admire him, and it would not be too much to call him "Little Friend".

Of course, it is not suitable to be in the county examination room at this moment, and I am the chief examiner and call a little friend. It is easy to be considered favoritism.

So when Zhou Shun discovered this problem, he immediately raised his face and replied expressionlessly: "Well, go into the exam room."

Chacha Zhou Shun's reaction expression made Chen Yichen feel even more assured!

It was over, Zhou Zhixian County shook my face. It seemed that I had to wear my shoes this time. I would have told the schoolchildren at the family dinner. I had to cover up my promise because of the face and lowered Zhou Zhixian's seniority. It's too late to regret it now...

With a heavy mood, Chen Yichen took the test paper from the official and walked out of the main hall.

As I walked, I thought to myself, let alone the roof is good or bad, I may arrange it next to the "stinky numb". In the next few days, I am afraid I will live like the New Year.

The so-called "stinky numb" is the house next to the toilet, with a row of 60 or 70 people sharing such a toilet. The smell you can imagine when you sit next to it.

It’s better to be cold, but when the temperature is higher when the autumn exam is in high temperatures, it’s like a poisonous gas bomb. If you’re not lucky and encounter two diarrhea products, you can experience what it means to suffer from destruction. Life is worse than death!

With this feeling of anxiety, Chen Yichen was brought to the "Yu" font size house. The number of Xiajiang Examination House was arranged in the order of thousands of characters. The "Yu" font size belongs to the old one, just in the middle of the number house.

You should know that ancient houses were all prime locations in the middle. They did not have to be afraid of wind and rain, but also avoided the "stinky slap" at the end, the "fire slap" close to cooking, and the "front slap" close to the walkway, which would be interrupted by the inspection and corvee steps.

"Please, Mr. Chen, I wish you a high school as soon as possible."

The official had a flattering smile on his face, and after saying this, he retreated, leaving behind a quiet memory of unknown reasons.

What's going on?

Chen Yichen vaguely remembered that the previous few county exams, the officials were so arrogant that they were like 20,000 to 50,000 yuan. After taking him to the account house, he left directly.

How could he be like today, not only greeting people with a smile, but also give him a blessing?

In addition, it is the location of this house. Chen Yichen knew very well that this kind of prime location would be greeted by the children of nobles and nobles in advance.

Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime. There is no problem in choosing a position for a number, so under normal circumstances, you can't be brought here at all. Could it be that your character has exploded?

Chen Yichen didn't understand why, but the official knew very well, because when he left the main hall, Zhou Zhixian gave him a look.

This look is the code that is conventionally accepted by the county examination. Once a household who has said hello comes in, they will be arranged to the best number house. This kind of convenient way to find a relationship cannot be avoided in that dynasty.

Regardless of the reason, sitting in a good position is better than sitting in a bad position. So Chen Yichen quickly threw away these doubts, walked into the jade font house, arranged the examination tools such as pen, ink, paper and ink, and waited for the start of the exam time to come.

Perhaps because of the large number of people, Chen Yichen waited for almost an hour before he heard the sound of the gong ringing prompting the exam. It was at this moment that the entire examination room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the rustling sound of opening the test papers.

Chen Yichen was naturally not idle either. He spread the paper paper and pressed it with paperweight to prevent it from being blown by the wind. After doing all this, he was waiting for the military service to release the test questions.

There are three test questions in the first county exam, two four-book articles and one poem with five-character and six-rhyme. The first two four-book articles are particularly important, and the subsequent poems are not very important.

In addition, there is no need to fill in the name in the county exam, so there is no traditional way to write a name first in the exam. However, there is a number on the upper left of each test paper, and the examiner uses this to determine which candidate wrote it.

Even when you hand in the paper, you can still talk to the examiner. If you talk, you may have a chance.

Of course, the first few people have this opportunity to hand in the papers. Even if the examiner wants to talk to you, he will not have this opportunity.

This is why, Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, held a family dinner before leaving Nanjing, so that the children of the family schools could leave a good impression in front of the examiners at all levels.

Maybe it’s this fate that determines whether you can go to high school!

Chen Yichen didn't wait long, and soon a military officer holding a wooden sign walked towards him. There was a piece of white paper on the wooden sign, which read the questions for this county exam.

The first and fourth books are titled: The people are the best, and the king is not enough.

The second and fourth books are titled: Those who are ruthless cannot fully express their words and are afraid of the will of the people. This is called knowing the root.

The third question is the five-character and six-rhyme poem, and there is no requirement to set the questions, so candidates can freely perform.

However, this free play is only about the content, not the format. It must be based on the five-character and six-rhyme regulations, and also has to be titled with ancient poems or idioms, so it is called test posting poems.

After Chen Yichen saw the titles of these two four books, he immediately copied them on the draft paper. Otherwise, he would forget the title later and would have to wait for the military service to raise the sign and walk around.
