Zhu Hao threw a few questions in front of Sun Ru: "You must write out all the articles tonight, and I will explain them to you again tomorrow. If you want to drink... wait until after the provincial examination is over. Even if you drink to death by then,
No one cares about you!"
"Woooo..."
After all, Sun Ru was in awe of Zhu Hao.
He almost acted like a spoiled brat in front of Zhu Hao.
Even if he pretends to be a grandson, Zhu Hao remains unmoved.
"You and I will write together, a total of twelve questions. This is very similar to the question I gave Gongsun Fengyuan three years ago. Do you know what his results were in that session?"
Zhu Hao encouraged Sun Ru.
Tell him there is a good example ahead of him.
Sun Ru looked disgraced: "How knowledgeable is Mr. Gongsun? I can pass the college entrance examination, just like a blind cat meets a dead mouse. Sir, can I go to the appointment tonight and come back tomorrow?"
"no!"
Zhu Hao sternly scolded, "If you don't listen to me in the past two days, after you return to Anlu, I will let you shut up for half a year... and ask your mother to lock you in the attic and never see the sun all day long... Try it!"
"ah?"
When Sun Ru heard this, she was immediately frightened.
Thinking that if you just work hard for two more days, you can avoid being locked up in a dark room for half a year...it seems quite worth it.
So I picked up the white paper with the title written on it and started studying it with a hard look on my face.
"As a teacher, I won't go anywhere for the past two days. I will study with you and hold candles until late at night every day. If you don't bring your belongings, I will ask someone to pick them up... You and I can just enter the examination room together!"
What Zhu Hao means is, don't leave for the next two days. Our teachers and students will just wait until the afternoon of the eighth day of August to enter the examination room together.
Sun Ru raised her head and stared at Zhu Hao with resentful eyes, like a bad student who was ignorant and unskilled and wanted to go out and have fun every day but was punished by the teacher. However, in order not to be locked in a dark room for the next six months, she had no choice but to give in.
…
…
Zhu Hao didn't know whether there was any use in cramming things temporarily.
The "Rural Examination Records" should be effective up to the eleventh year of Zhengde's rural examination, but in the fourteenth year of Zhengde, there may be certain changes due to the butterfly effect. Zhu Hao just had the attitude of giving it a try and conducted a pre-examination test on Sun Ru.
training.
If Sun Ru is expected to pass this provincial examination on his own knowledge, the chance is basically zero.
That is still the old method, give the topic and let him try to write the article first, then point out the advantages and disadvantages, help him sort out his ideas, or simply write a sample essay and teach him some sentences in the form of eight-legged antithetical couplets...
Generally speaking, it is to let Sun Ru have an idea. Zhu Hao will provide guidance on the outline and discussion direction of his article. The framework is Sun Ru's, but the details are refined and supplemented by Zhu Hao. He cannot be expected to follow Gongsun Yi.
I also memorized a few articles, but the key point is... the several questions recorded in the "Rural Examination Records" seem deliberate, but they can only be so.
In this way, the master and the apprentice stayed in seclusion until the eighth day of August.
Early that morning, the servants of the Sun family who came to the provincial capital with Sun Ru to take the provincial examination came to deliver things, including thick clothes and iron pots prepared for Sun Ru.
In the examination room, the examination booth will be locked.
However, the dormitories in the examination room are not locked and cannot be locked.
In the dormitory, a charcoal brazier will be prepared for heating and cooking. Basically, no one will care what the candidates do in the dormitory.
As long as you can hand in your own answer sheet when handing in the paper, it will be fine. Even if you have the ability to include cheat sheets and finally burn them in a charcoal brazier, you still have the ability.
If you take a test on an article you don’t know the topic of, bring a cheat sheet... I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a way to cheat, right?
What to bring in?
With set notes?
Or should I bring all four books with me?
Therefore, the biggest problem of fraud in the examination room is to leak the questions in advance. At the level of the provincial examination, it is the collusion between the inner and outer officials. The examination questions are given to the candidates in advance so that they can prepare well. There are fools who cannot memorize them.
Only when you post an article will you enter the market with cheat sheets...
Still the same question, since you intend to cheat, it’s best to memorize the article.
You have the ability to obtain test questions in advance and find someone to help you write the article. Why don't you memorize it? Not to mention the huge risks involved in entering the field and leaving "criminal evidence" for others?
In the Ming Dynasty, using cheat sheets to recruit scholars in eight-part essays can almost be said to be the stupidest way of cheating.
…
…
Zhu Hao and Sun Ru prepared a lot of things when they entered the venue.
Mainly the food for the first three days.
In addition to dry food, you also need to bring some soup and water, which can be eaten as soon as the pot is heated. A small pot, a shelf for making a fire, and fire folding bags are also required. Candles are not allowed.
The exam room will distribute them at that time, but only one will be given for each exam, and you must bring a water bottle with you.
It is allowed to bring toilet paper, but it must not have a word on it, and it cannot exceed ten pieces. Handkerchiefs are not allowed to be brought... If you feel uncomfortable entering the examination room and suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, you can only use the sleeves or hem of your clothes to solve the problem, or
Let's just leave it to the crotch... The best solution is to give up on this provincial examination in time.
As for the food they bring, they are also particular about it. Generally, candidates bring dried rice, add a little water, and heat it up with pickles before eating. Eat well before entering the exam. During the exam, you basically have one to two meals a day, dry food and water.
... Entering the examination room is not just to enjoy life, it is more important to have the energy to answer the questions.
Zhu Hao's side.
First, he fried some eggs, added dried meat, water, and vegetables. He originally wanted to bring some fruits, but he expected that during the inspection, the fruits would be pinched by the inspection officers... Zhu Hao lost interest in eating.
As for the rice soup... Who knows if those officials would put their hands into the jars to check if there is any inclusions? Besides, the storage time of rice soup is relatively short, and it will definitely spoil in three days.
Except for food that you can tell at a glance whether there is something hidden, don't bring anything flashy.
You also have to pay attention to your clothes. It is said that some candidates in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination complained that they wore thick clothes for the first exam because of the cold weather, but they were as hot as a dog and sweated profusely. For the second exam, they learned to dress cooler.
It turned out to be rainy and I almost froze to death...
Therefore, it is important to wear clothes that are thin on the inside and thick on the outside, and can be taken off after entering.
…
…
By the afternoon.
Zhu Hao and Sun Ru are about to enter the examination room.
Zhu Hao conducted a surprise inspection on Sun Ru in advance and found that Sun Ru had forgotten all the articles he had written in the previous two days without saying anything, so he asked him to ride a carriage with him to Gongyuan.
You can see many people heading to the examination room along the way.
Generally, the family situation of those who pass the scholar examination will be improved to a certain extent. There are not a few people riding carriages, but more people are walking. Many people bring servants and children when entering the venue. The Gongyuan has been opened after noon, allowing people to enter the venue.
Candidates enter the venue, but not in an individual way, but by candidates from the Confucian Studies Department of each state and county, and enter the venue together.
The provincial examination is different from the ordinary examination for children. There is no guarantee here, and no referee can be found to prove that these candidates are themselves.
Then we can only use the method of candidates proving each other. How many candidates can be designated in a county and testify to each other that they are themselves, which is equivalent to "mutual alliance" in disguise.
But in the provincial examination, cheating does not mean that you will be in trouble. It will not be said that any of your fellow villagers cheated and it will implicate you. But if the examinee who came with you is not the examinee who you are and you make perjury, then you will be in big trouble.
If so, the opportunity to take the exam will be cancelled, or at worst, he will be sent to the Yamen for trial and exile.
During the procedures such as the guide for each candidate, the candidate's physical appearance will also be described. Unfortunately, there are no photos these days, and there is not even a portrait on the guide. It only gives a general description of the candidate's appearance. If the face
It's easier to tell who has obvious marks on them, but if not... it's difficult to tell who is who just by looking at the description.
The entry was smooth.
Zhu Hao and Sun Ru registered at different times, and the examination halls for the first examination were not in the same place. This time, the Huguang Provincial Examination was attended by candidates who had studied in Nanjing Imperial College all year round, as well as candidates who had passed the scientific examination and postgraduate examination from various places.
There are three to four thousand candidates...
Three to four thousand people compete for the seventy or eighty candidates' quotas, which is like thousands of troops walking across a single-plank bridge.
Zhu Hao's dormitory is located in the "T-shaped Sanlu". It has a very long examination shed that can't be seen at the end. It is much larger than the examination shed for local Anlu students. The road is very narrow and one-sided.
That is to say, you can only see the wall of the dormitory opposite, which is very different from the layout of the Anlu Examination Shed opposite, with a wide middle.
The door to the examination room will be locked in the afternoon, but the dormitories are separated by brick walls and will not be locked. Candidates need to hang up tarps as curtains to block the wind and rain.
Zhu Hao had already eaten before coming to the examination room that day, so he didn't need to think about eating again in the evening.
Put things away and tidy them up a bit.
There are a total of four objects in the cabin.
There is a brazier with charcoal in it. If it is lit, it can probably burn for half a night. Unless it is very cold or you need to answer questions all night, it will not be used for the time being.
Two wooden boards are put together to form a bed when sleeping. When not sleeping, one of them is placed low to become a stool, and the other is placed high to become a table.
There is also a toilet in the dormitory.
But the toilet can only be used for urination and must be covered with a lid.
If you need to defecate, you must go to the innermost part of the examination room near the wall. There will be a "thatched room" there.
The public latrine is located in the corner of the examination shed. Perhaps because the temperature in August is still relatively high and the smell of the latrine is too strong, there are no candidates arranged in the innermost building near the examination shed. As for the fact that only the T-shaped examination shed is like this, it is better to say that
This is true for all exam booths, so it’s hard to say.
Candidates have been assigned exam booths and dormitories in advance. At least they don’t have to worry about the situation like historical rumors, in which students who enter the examination room late will be assigned a “shit number”, which will affect their performance in the exam.
After entering the dormitory, candidates should stay in as much as possible before the end of an exam.
You should eat less food and drink less water. It would be best if you can stay away from the bathtub for three days. If you have to go, you must get the permission of the patrol person before you can go.
The dormitory is very narrow, with a depth of only about 1.5 meters and a width of more than 1 meter. An adult sleeping in it has to curl up and lie down, which shows that the conditions are quite difficult. If he can pass the examination as soon as possible, he will
Avoid experiencing this kind of disaster once every three years.
Heat stroke and sudden death from sudden illness are common occurrences in previous rural examinations.
It is said that in the Fujian Provincial Examination in the 28th year of Guangxu's reign, due to the extremely hot weather, candidates fell ill from heatstroke. Four people died in the examination room in the first exam; three more died in the second exam. In the same year, three candidates in the Zhejiang Provincial Examination met the King of Hell and said, "One died from a snake."
, one stabbed himself with a candle stick, and the other smashed his testicles."
The situation in the Ming Dynasty Provincial Examination was not much better.
