In the examination room, the siblings Minghua and Xiao Hongkang were arranged separately, one at the front of the examination room and the other in the middle; Minghua was in the middle and Xiao Hongkang was at the front.
Putting down her things, Minghua looked around the test room and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; luckily she wasn't assigned to the bathroom number her father said, otherwise, not being able to eat or sleep would be the most tormenting thing.
The things in the backpack were taken out, and the pens, inks, and inkstones were placed on the only small table in the room, arranged neatly one by one; a thick coat was placed on the bed with only one bed board. It was approaching late autumn, and the night was heavy, so it was not covered with thick clothes. It’s easy to catch a cold and delay things.
Fortunately, she is petite and small. This thick dress belongs to an adult and can cover her whole body at night. My eldest brother has grown rapidly in the past two years, so I wonder if it can cover her anymore.
"Candidates entering the examination room please be quiet and the test papers will be delivered later. After getting the test papers, you can answer the questions as you like. During the examination, only clean water will be provided in the examination room. You can eat and drink by yourself. If you have diarrhea, you can report to the toilet."
"No loud noises are allowed in the examination room, and answers are not allowed to be passed to each other; no noise is allowed between the examination rooms. Once discovered, you will be expelled from the examination room. After answering the questions, please wait quietly for the end of the examination before leaving the examination room."
In short, there is no freedom, just sit down and answer the questions honestly.
"Okay, all candidates, please wait quietly at the entrance of the examination room for the test papers to be delivered."
Minghua got up and walked to the door. Opposite there were exam rooms. Two rows of exam rooms faced each other. Her seat was in the front row. She waited for less than a quarter of an hour before the test papers arrived. There were three papers in total. After bowing and thanking her, she closed the door to the examination room and put the examination papers on the table. She climbed onto the high stool and sat down.
The high stool in the exam hall bullied people, and she was a person who didn't grow taller but only grew brains. Her classmates often laughed at her because she only grew taller than tall, so now she is not even 1.3 meters tall.
How pathetic!
I don’t know if I can grow into a 1.7 meter tall man in the future.
"The test papers have been distributed in place, and students who have not received the test papers should speak out in time. The test papers are divided into three volumes. The first volume tests the classics learned in the past, the second volume tests poetry and songs, and the third volume tests people's livelihood."
"You got everything, right? Then start answering the questions; the exam will end in three days, and it will end at this time the day after tomorrow."
Minghua read the papers carefully. The first paper was simple and she relied on memorizing the articles and interpreting them. The second paper was a brain test. She was not very talented in poetry and singing. She studied for two years, which was too short. After all, she was a shortcoming. , it will be strengthened in the future.
People's Livelihood is about how a student should act for the people if he wants to serve the imperial court in the future.
It is equivalent to the essay question in the modern Chinese language test paper.
Grind ink and answer questions with pen and paper.
It only took half a day to finish the first and third test papers, and the poems and songs in the second paper were OK. She could fill in the poems already in the test book; but when it was her turn to express herself freely, she scratched her head.
Three days passed. Most of the time I was scratching my head. I had a rough understanding of poetry and poetry. The poems I produced were limited. Fortunately, I could make up for it later and try to produce good verses in the scholar examination.
"After the exam, candidates are asked to take their belongings and leave the exam room; just leave the test papers in the exam room, and the time limit is half an hour."
As soon as Minghua packed her things, she picked up her backpack and opened the door to the examination room and walked out. At this time, the candidates were walking together in twos and threes, with a tacit understanding that they did not talk about what was on the examination paper, but only asked each other how they were doing.
Xiao Hongkang was worried about his sister, so he hurried out and saw the little girl standing in the crowd with his sharp eyes. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to hold her.
"Sanya, how did you do in the exam?"
Minghua looked up and saw that her eldest brother's face was pale and his eyes were black. Knowing that he had not slept well, she nodded and smiled, "It's okay, where is brother?"
"All right, let's go out."
With Xiao Hongkang holding her hand, Minghua would not be squeezed out of the crowd; but it was still uncomfortable. Everyone was stronger than her, and she couldn't slap these people away one by one. She would have to suffer from being squeezed here and there. .
After being imprisoned for three days, the mythical beast came out of its cage.
Whatever you look at is pleasing to the eye, and your breath is fresh enough to make you feel happy.
"Sanya, Kangkang, mother is here."
The two brothers and sisters followed the sound and saw their parents waiting for them in the crowd. Xiao Hongkang took his sister and walked forward, "Dad and mom."
"Look at your ugly face. How did you do in the exam?" Xiao Leshi stretched out her hand to touch her son's face, but then thought that her son was too old to be suitable. She held it back and only looked at the two brothers and sisters in front of her with concern. "Sanya is okay, her face is rosy."
Xiao Zhengning: They may not have gone to an examination room.
Otherwise, why is the difference so obvious?
One has a ruddy face and is full of energy; the other has a pale face and looks like he is about to be sick but not sick.
"Mom, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well; I can recover after going home and having a good night's rest." Xiao Hongkang said with a slight smile.
Xiao Leshi nodded, "Then go home, and your grandmother will prepare delicious food for you at home. She said she would give you supplements, and I will wait for you to return home."
Xiao Zhengning took his daughter's backpack and called his wife and children to go with him. They were talking and laughing along the way, and some people they knew passing by would ask questions. Xiao Zhengning only said that he was going home and did not chat much with anyone.
When we arrived at the village, we attracted a lot of attention.
"Xiao Xiucai, how did your Kangkang Sanya do in the exam? Did she pass the exam?" A thin but energetic aunt came up and asked.
The people nearby hurriedly asked.
"Yes, Xiao Xiucai, have you passed the exam? If you have passed the exam, your Xiao family will be in great shape. You will have three talents in one subject."
"Look at Xuan, how old is Sanya? Look at her stumpy appearance. It would be strange if she could pass the exam. I don't believe that Sanya can pass the exam."
"Bah, you're the only one with a bad mouth, right? What's wrong with Sanya, what's wrong with being short? He's eating your food and drinking yours? I want you to talk; my Sanya will definitely pass the exam and make you look bad." Mrs. Xiao squeezed her way out of the crowd and got into a fight when she saw the person who spoke.
"Mom." Xiao Zhengning and his wife stepped forward to help the old lady.
Mrs. Xiao broke away, "I'm not too old to move, so I don't need your help."
He turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, please leave. The Tongsheng Examination is not the Scholarship Examination. Even if you pass the exam, you are still a Tongsheng. Only when you become a Tongsheng can you take the Scholarship Examination. Don't gather around my door. What should you do when you go home?" Go, I don’t have any meat for you to eat, so there’s no point in hanging around.”
The guys dispersed laughing.
"Milk." Minghua stepped forward and took the old lady's hand into the yard.
Xiao Hongkang turned around, closed the door, and followed into the main room.
The brother and sister experienced another round of greetings, this time from grandparents and grandparents.
Old Mrs. Xiao hugged her granddaughter and comforted her softly, "Don't listen to those gossips. If you fail the exam, it's enough to pass. If you pass the exam, it's a happy event. If you fail, you can take the exam next time. This time it's time to gain experience." "
"That's the truth." Mr. Xiao echoed, "How was your time in the examination room? I think Sanya is fine, but Kangkang's face is really not that good."
"It's normal. Which candidate can pass the test well in three days?" Xiao Zhengning didn't care.
Brothers Xiao Hongkang and Xiao Hongping both looked at Minghua.
Minghua grinned, "Don't look at me, there's no result; you can't learn."
Xiao Hongkang, Xiao Hongping:......
Getting skinnier.
"Sanya is really doing well, look at this little face." Mrs. Xiao doesn't care about her eldest grandson anymore.
