Chapter 605 The White House
With plenty of time, she first listed out her ideas one by one and wrote an outline, and then she started writing on the draft paper.
Because there is no provincial examination, the copying and sealing process of the general examination, and the examination papers are directly presented to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the emperor for viewing. Therefore, the cleanliness of the paper and the beauty of the calligraphy are extremely important and largely determine the ranking.
Since the imperial examination articles were reviewed by the emperor, it was impossible to write them into long essays; coupled with the concise writing style of classical Chinese, a policy essay could only be three to four hundred words long at most and one or two hundred words short.
In her last life in high school, Zhao Ruxi was baptized by writing 800-word essays in half an hour. She was able to write a long paper in one hour as a university, graduate student, and doctoral student. Although writing in classical Chinese is a little more difficult than writing in vernacular, it's just like that if you write more.
Her thinking was already sharp, but she became even sharper after taking the Agile Pills, and her kung fu skills were much sharper than before. When practicing calligraphy of 30 words, the quality was just as good, but it took one-third less time than before.
.
Therefore, these three articles, with more than a thousand words, took only an hour and a half to craft, revise and revise after she had written such articles before and had thought deeply about these issues.
Completely written.
It was also time for lunch.
Lunch is two steamed buns and a bowl of meat and vegetable soup. Along with these comes a wet cloth.
Zhao Ruxi wiped her hands carefully with a wet cloth, then picked up the steamed bun, broke off a small piece, and ate it slowly.
At this time, the food was served, and even the candidates who did not want to interrupt their thoughts had to take into account the rules of the palace, put down their pens and start eating. At this time, everyone had time to admire the beauty, and their eyes were directed towards Zhao Ruxi intentionally or unintentionally.
, I want to know what this talented woman looks like when eating.
Only Duan Chen maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and did not look at Zhao Ruxi and ate his lunch quietly.
Although the gazes of so many strange men were looking at each other in a subtle way, Mr. Mo was still worried that Zhao Ruxi would feel uncomfortable. But he didn't want her to be so generous, as if she didn't know those gazes, and she ate the steamed buns in small bites, her movements unhurried.
The posture is elegant, without any hint of shyness or panic.
Seeing Zhao Ruxi's posture, the male candidates suddenly felt that the food in their hands was as delicious as a state banquet dish.
This is the same drink cake as the beauty, but the taste is very different.
After Zhao Ruxi arrived in ancient times, except for those few days in the little banyan tree, she had a good life. She really couldn't eat these bare white flour buns, and she was not willing to eat soupy things like meat and vegetable soup.
Come on, going to the toilet is really troublesome.
Therefore, she only ate half of the steamed bun and two mouthfuls of soup to satisfy her hunger and show that she was not dissatisfied with the meal in the palace, so she gave up.
Instructing the maid to take away the food on the table, she cleaned her hands with a wet handkerchief and began to copy.
Two years of calligraphy practice and the habit of writing as fast and well as possible when taking notes made her copy extremely fast. After the male candidates had finished their lunch and went to the toilet to come back,
Zhao Ruxi has finished transcribing all three articles.
She had no intention of staying any longer and raised her hand to signal to Master Mo.
When Master Mo came closer, she said: "I've finished writing."
Mr. Mo was very surprised. He looked down and found that the test paper was full of words. The handwriting was beautiful and neat, and it didn't look like it was written in a hurry.
Zhao Ruxi always submitted her papers in advance, and it had never affected her grades. Although Mr. Mo was surprised, he was not surprised.
He said: "You take it and put it on the desk in front of Master Shangshu, and someone will take you out of the palace." As he said this, he motioned to the female official.
Originally, the examination was conducted in the same hall regardless of men and women, so there was no need to prepare special invigilators for Zhao Ruxi.
However, the palace examination lasted for one day, and you could go to the toilet in the middle. The Ministry of Rites still specifically applied to the emperor, and Xiao Ge sent a female official and two maids from the palace to stay in the palace with the officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.
Prepare for emergencies.
The male candidates in the hall had just finished lunch and tidied up the housework. They had just sat down and were about to think about the last article. When they saw Zhao Ruxi stood up, put the test paper in front of the Minister of Etiquette, bowed and then went to the three palace maids.
Went out accompanied by.
Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and almost asked each other, but realized that there was still an exam here, so they shut up in time.
God, is this layman Zhiwei so powerful? Why did he just finish writing and hand in the paper?
Everyone's eyes were on Huiyuan Duan Chen.
Duan Chen's original performance had been very dull, and he didn't seem to care about Zhao Ruxi's appearance. But seeing that Zhao Ruxi had handed in the paper so early, he couldn't help but look at his own test paper. Although he had already typed a draft, he only copied one question.
, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ruxi's retreating back, a little dazed.
Feeling everyone's gaze, he withdrew his gaze and regained his calm expression, but his copying speed was obviously accelerated.
"Zhiwei layman, a great talent, has brought glory to our daughter. It is really admirable. Although I am only a servant, I am so honored." The female officer accompanied Zhao Ruxi outside and praised.
This female official was Xiao Ge's Shang Gong, with a fifth-grade official position, the highest among the female officials.
Although she had an official rank, had certain rights in the palace, received a salary from the court, and was served by palace ladies, she was still selected from among the palace ladies and was considered a slave. Therefore, she still called herself a "slave" to Zhao Ruxi.
"Baishang Gong is over-reputed." Zhao Ruxi said, "Bai Shang Gong is very talented. Zhiwei would not dare to call him powerful in front of Bai Shang Gong."
It is not an easy task to become a female official in the palace. The talent must be extremely outstanding, and the scheming and means must be indispensable. The appearance must also be outstanding. It must be "talent and appearance".
This Shanggong surnamed Bai looks like he is only twenty-five or six years old. He can climb to the top of the female officials, which shows that he is a very powerful person. The promotion of concubines depends on family background, appearance and luck. Female officials
It is really based on her talent and ability. If she were a man, she would definitely be no worse than those tributes in the Wenhua Palace.
Thinking of this, while Zhao Ruxi sympathized with Baek Shang Gong, she was also grateful to God. Although she was allowed to travel through time as cannon fodder, it was not the beginning of hell mode.
If she were to be a woman who was brought into the palace by literary talent, no matter how talented she was, no matter how hard she worked, she would probably be like Bai Shanggong. Even if she climbed to the highest level of a female official, she would still be a slave, without freedom, and her life and death would be controlled by others.
