When the candidates opened the test papers in front of them and began to preview the test papers, the figure ordered again: "The invigilator will read out the examination rules for the last time."
Dozens of invigilators who received the order read out at the same time, with the same content and the same speed. Dozens of voices merged into one. The voice was not high-pitched but clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Any student who is about to take the Academy Examination will understand the examination rules over and over again. Whether it is the teacher in the academy, the Yi Cheng on the way, or the leader of the army, they will explain and emphasize to the candidates that even if they are a monk like Wei Feng, they will , have also seen relevant notices at the entrance of the academy.
At the last moment before the exam started, the academy still arranged a reading of the rules, which was a reminder. Yes, Wei Feng discovered the hints contained in the rules when he saw them for the first time. It was up to the master to give him After the admission score was revealed, this hint became more obvious in Wei Feng's eyes.
Yu Zhaizhu said that if his shooting skills can reach the first-class evaluation, then there will be no problem in the first test. He did not even add a qualifier, and did not say what the minimum level must be for other subjects. If he just listened to the surface, then he could rest assured to take the test, but Wei Feng I have always been an obedient person.
Among the examination rules, in addition to requiring candidates to answer honestly and prohibiting cheating, the most noteworthy thing is that all required and elective subjects must be completed before that day. The required subjects are based on scriptures, policy questions, and archery. , Soldiers and attacks are conducted in order. After one test, proceed to the next one. The order of selection is determined by yourself. All items and all candidates share the examination room and examination materials.
The key lies in the sharing of examination rooms and examination tools, so the order of examinations is very important.
Take the art of horsemanship as an example. The quality of each horse itself is uneven. The candidates who arrive first will have priority in choosing the horse, and the advantage will be expanded. The candidates who come later will only have the choice of the horse, and their results will naturally be lower. If they come later, they will be better. , it is impossible to ride something that others have ridden before.
Another example is chess. The duration of a game is unpredictable and the number of examiners is limited. If there are too many candidates, the candidates who arrive later may not be able to complete the exam before the end of time.
There are also differences in the order of archery subjects. The individual differences of standard bows and arrows are generally not big, but bows and arrows will be lost during use, and the performance of bows and arrows used many times in a short period of time will be affected to a certain extent.
The invigilator read out the exam rules for the last time, which seemed to emphasize this hint, and also reminded Wei Feng of Liu Cun's words: The first lesson when embarking on the path of spiritual practice is to learn to make choices.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Feng made some kind of decision in his heart. After making up his mind, he felt much more casual when he looked at the test paper in his hand.
He simply skipped the scripture part, since he didn’t know how to do it anyway, so he simply didn’t read it at all. The policy questions were still very interesting, covering all aspects, including asking whether a certain law was reasonable, logical reasoning questions, and open-view questions. There is even a question about chickens and rabbits in the same cage: Today there are baby rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the sizes of each of the baby rabbits?
If he had time, Wei Feng wouldn't mind answering.
"Dang~"
Suddenly, a melodious bell sounded from the bell tower of the Academy, ringing throughout the town again.
"It's the second quarter of the twelfth lunar month and the exam officially begins." As the invigilator announced, all the candidates straightened their backs and began writing furiously.
The top three talents have a bookish air as they move their pens, and their brows reveal seriousness and confidence.
In comparison, the men who came out of the border army looked much more serious. It could even be said that they were facing a formidable enemy. Looking at the sorrow between their brows, it seemed that making them write poems silently was a punishment that was harder to face than being beaten with a military stick. .
The booklet given by the Academy contains about one and a half hours of questions. Presumably those talented people who answer faster should be able to complete it within an hour.
But the ones who turn in the papers fastest every year are not these scholars, but the men from the frontier army. The reason is self-evident. Since I can’t write a word anyway, it’s better to just write down some random answers that can be answered in the policy questions. Handing in papers can also free up more time for subsequent projects.
However, the situation this year was a little different. On the third breath after the exam started, one person suddenly stood up among the thousands of candidates who were burying their heads. The sound of him pushing the desks and chairs was particularly harsh at this time.
He spent three breaths writing his name, and he wrote it neatly. Although he handed in a blank paper, he still had to respect the academy.
"Do you want to hand in the paper?" An invigilator moved to the man's side in an instant.
"Yes."
This person was none other than Wei Feng. He stood up from his seat and raised his left hand. This was an action in the examination rules to indicate that he had handed in the paper. If there was anything else, he would raise his right hand.
"hiss……"
After these two short sentences of dialogue came out, the whole examination room was filled with gasps. Wei Feng smiled at the corner of his eyes. Although he was an adult, feeling the noise he had made, he couldn't help feeling a little proud at this time. .
"Wow..."
The second reaction was that the people watching on the sidelines were like a drop of water dropped into a hot oil pan. The crowd instantly boiled and exploded. They pointed and started talking loudly, but all the invigilators had no intention of stopping them from making noise. , allowing these noisy noises to enter the examination room.
The candidates who were far away from Wei Feng hadn't noticed the movement here, and were startled by the sudden noise. They subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the crowd, and knew that someone had handed in their papers immediately after the exam started. The corners of his mouth that twitched in sudden surprise meant something incomprehensible.
Such an astonishing move must have calmed them down. With this thought, Wei Feng pretended to look around casually. His face that was about to smile suddenly fell down, and his face became darker and darker.
He originally wanted to look around and not only receive admiration and admiration, but at least give me some incredible looks. But what was going on with the disdain coming from all directions?
And forget it if the scholars are disdainful, what on earth are these vulgar men from the military laughing at?
Wei Fengqi's nose was almost crooked, and he glared back at the border soldiers who looked over. If his eyes could be translated, the conversation would probably go like this:
"I thought I was uneducated enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more illiterate."
"You are the illiterate! Your whole family is illiterate! I don't want to write!"
When the invigilator took away his test paper, Wei Feng walked away angrily. He did not look at the onlookers, so as not to humiliate himself. You are a bunch of rubes. You have no idea what my exam is. How many attempts have been made...
Bu Ji looked at Wei Feng's back as he strode away, feeling a little impressed. As expected of Brother Wei Feng, he was so confident even though he couldn't write, and there was still a certain amount of confidence in his steps.
He didn't know that Wei Feng originally had 90% confidence, but was only 30% angry because of the looks of the frontier soldiers.
Although Wei Feng left, the commotion he caused remained like a gust of wind, blowing through the hearts of some candidates and making them feel itchy. Many frontier soldiers who had originally planned to give up the liberal arts became a little unable to sit still. , it’s like there are nails growing under the buttocks, twisting and turning.
After twisting and turning for a while, someone finally couldn't help it anymore and handed in the paper too. This time it was like poking a hornet's nest. People stood up one after another. The men in the border army who could have written something at first really did it this time. There was no writing at all, and a large section of the crowd cheered and left.
The people who were watching naturally went to where the excitement was. Seeing that many people had already handed in their papers, they swarmed outside the next examination room, trying to get the best viewing area. After all, watching people answer questions is not as good as watching people shoot arrows and fights. It was interesting. After a while, most of the onlookers left.
Because Wei Feng handed in the paper at such a speed, there was quite a commotion outside and inside the examination room. As a result, many candidates were a little restless when answering questions, had difficulty concentrating, and could not help but frown, sigh, or curse.
Only a very small number of candidates did not raise their heads when Wei Feng handed in the paper, did not raise their heads when the crowd was noisy, and did not raise their heads at this time. They kept working on their desks without being disturbed by the outside world.
Everyone's performance was watched by a pair of eyes in front of the examination room.
