Zhao Ruxi didn't take Zhao Ruyu's systematic thing seriously. After she reviewed intensively for a period of time, it was time for the provincial examination in August.

Candidates from other places have to go to the county government office, government office, and Gongyuan in the provincial capital to pass the exam, which is very busy. Candidates in the capital do not have to rush so much, and the exam locations are almost always fixed.

After taking so many exams, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu, not to mention Zhao Ruxi, have become much calmer.

It was Zhao Yuanxun who escorted Zhao Ruxi to the entrance of the examination hall, watched her go in, and then left. Only Ma Sheng's family was left to take turns guarding here with the carriage, in case Zhao Ruxi suddenly left the venue and went home early.

It's still the same place, there are still the same number of people invigilating the exams, it's just that the people invigilating the exams are different.

There is Zhang Li's example above. Not to mention that the imperial court will carefully select the examiners. Even if they select examiners who are not willing to deal with Suiping Bofu or Zhao Ruxi, they will not dare to trip up Zhao Ruxi in full view of the public.

The person sent to examine Zhao Ruxi this time was Yu Qing, the minister of the Ministry of Rites. The other three officials were all drawn from various ministries.

Everyone was here, but the time had not yet come. Chief Jiang from the Ministry of Revenue had nothing to do, so he asked in a low voice the official from the Ministry of Works whom he was friends with: "Have Master Qian met layman Zhiwei?"

Mr. Qian shook his head: "I haven't seen him before. But I heard that he is still young and has just grown hair."

Director Jiang sighed with emotion: "Look at other people's children, how can they be so smart and capable? My grandson is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has just passed the examination to become a scholar. He knows that he has little talent and little knowledge, so he did not dare to participate in the Qiuwei Festival this time, for fear of

It's embarrassing to fail the exam. It's so irritating that people are so different from each other."

Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is seeking to be steady and steady. There are not many young people like this who are steady."

Chief Jiang spoke modestly, but there was a sense of contentment on his face.

At this time, voices came from outside the door, and soon a woman came in leading a girl of fifteen or six years old.

This woman had bright features and a tall figure. When she came in and saw them, she showed no fear at all. She bowed to everyone and said, "Student Zhao Ruxi, I have to thank you all, the examiners, for the time being."

The Provincial Examination lasts for three days. During these three days, you will have food and accommodation in this room. There are three exams in total. For the sake of Zhao Ruxi's reputation, Xiao Ge deliberately chooses older examiners. Like the examiner Yu

Qing, who is already over sixty this year, is three in sixty. The other three are also over fifty.

Yu Qing was a kind old man. He smiled at Zhao Ruxi and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down."

The room was quite spacious. There was only one table and chairs in the middle of the room, which was Zhao Ruxi's seat. The four examiners' tables and chairs were scattered in the four corners of the room.

Zhao Ruxi walked to the table and sat down.

Director Jiang stepped forward and read out the rules of the examination room. Then he asked two women to lead Zhao Ruxi into the inner room to check whether there was anything on her body.

After the inspection was completed and it was almost time to see, Yu Qing and Mr. Qian went out together, came in with the test paper, and put it in front of Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi picked up the test paper and read it over. She found that all the questions were in full, the handwriting was clear, and there were no missing questions or blurry questions. She read the questions again, then dripped water onto the inkstone and started to grind the ink.

.

The process of polishing ink is the process of conception.

The rural examinations of the Da Jin Dynasty basically tested policy theory, and in this policy theory, some tests were on the understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, and some were mixed with knowledge of arithmetic and law.

For example, for the first question this time, I chose a sentence from "The University" and asked you to demonstrate this.

You must first be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, know which book this sentence comes from, and recall the context to understand the meaning of the question. When you correctly understand the meaning of the question, you can write an article to demonstrate the meaning.

This writing method is somewhat similar to the eight-part essay in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it pays more attention to practical argumentation rather than the eight-part form.

Another example is the fifth major question, which is about disaster relief. Let’s say a county is hit by a flood. How many victims are there, how much food is stored in the county, what are the specific circumstances, and what should you do if you are in charge of disaster relief.

It is not only necessary to calculate whether there is enough food to eat, but also to be familiar with the legal knowledge of the court in disaster relief, as well as the strategies for how to deal with disasters.

If we say that the Tongsheng Examination and the Academy Examination test relatively basic knowledge, the Provincial Examination focuses on examining the ability to handle political affairs.

Therefore, if you get a high ranking in the provincial examination and have a good reputation in the local area, you can be an official even if you are a civil servant. Because if you pass the civil examination, you have proven that you have the ability to handle political affairs.

Zhao Ruxi read the first question and did not rush to write. She slowly polished her ink and read all the questions, thinking about how to formulate the idea, how to demonstrate, what to write, how to write, and tried to understand the whole thing before writing.

Make sure you know the test paper well.

After polishing the ink, she listed the ideas for each question on the draft paper. After listing, she would think about it again to see if there was anything she had missed. Until she felt that every question on the test paper had been thought through.

Only then did I start drafting the first question.

The reason why I do the questions this way is because the exam time is too long, and I have to eat and sleep here, and sleeping is not good.

Therefore, the first day is the most energetic, the thinking is the most active, and the mind is the clearest. If you don’t take this time to think clearly about the problem-solving ideas and writing methods of all the questions, you will not be able to sleep well the first night, and you will not sleep well the second night.

If you think about the last few questions when you feel dizzy, have backache, and are exhausted, you will find that your mind is full of mush and you can’t remember what to write at all.

I have clarified my ideas and made an outline. Even if my brain is not working well at that time, I can still write a good article with the clear and complete ideas written in advance and my usual level of experience in writing articles.

This is a countermeasure that Zhao Ruxi came up with after listening to the exam experiences mentioned by the great scholars.

The men's examination room was guarded and patrolled by sergeants. The examiners did not have to keep an eye on anyone and could also walk around the examination room and inspect the area.

But here in the female examination room, four people and eight eyes stared at the little girl for three days and nine days. The little girl with a weak heart was so frightened that she dared not move. If everyone goes there again, walk in front of her and take a look.

, then people don’t have to take the exam.

Therefore, they cannot move around in this examination room unless necessary.

This is so boring.

When you have nothing to do, it’s easy to think about this thing.

No, Chief Jiang had just finished talking to Mr. Qian about his grandson, and at this moment he was thinking about the benefits of his grandson marrying Zhao Ruxi.

He was being humbled by Master Qian just now, but he was actually very proud of his grandson.
