In front of the examination room, there were three examiners who were presiding over this county examination, namely the county magistrate, the dean of the county liberal arts academy and the academic master of the prefectural liberal arts academy.

After everyone stands still.

The county court master read out the rules of the examination room.

Then, the county magistrate announced the start of the exam.

Each candidate enters the examination room according to the number on his/her identity card.

The candidates went to the examination room, and the three examiners returned to the hall where they work daily.

The county examinations are all overseen by semi-saints, and any evil tricks cannot escape the eyes of the sages. The examiner's job is more to maintain order in the examination room.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been any noise in the examination room.

So after reading out the rules of the examination room, the three examiners returned to the hall as usual.

"There are actually women under the rule of Magistrate Zhong. This year's evaluation will definitely be an important addition." The county court master said as he took out a lamp.

This lamp is called a literary lantern. Anyone with a literary position will have a corresponding literary lantern placed in the literary courtyard.

Literary lamps resonate with literati, and the candle flames light up and go out as the literati's talents increase or decrease.

It can also sense the scholar's seal and can be used to ask for help from the academy when the scholar is in danger.

Under normal circumstances, those who have passed the Tongsheng Wenshi degree go to the holy temple to pay homage to the Holy Spirit and receive the talent empowerment before they can light the Wen lantern.

But there are also special circumstances where the lanterns are lit in advance.

The county court master took out the lantern in accordance with the scientific examination regulations, just to prevent this special situation.

When the rules of the examination room were read out just now, the county magistrate Zhong Zhou also saw Su Xiaoxiao in the crowd.

But unlike the county court master's joy, Zhong Zhou suspected that Su Xiaoxiao just took the Jinxiu County exam and went to the wrong exam room.

The Jinxiu County Examination is the same as the County Examination. If you try again after the door is closed, you will be judged to have missed the opportunity.

Anyway, there is no point rushing to the Jinxiu examination room now. It is better to let her experience the county examination.

Since I am here for a formality in the county and city, I am sure that I will soon be exposed in front of many outstanding students.

Hearing the compliment from the county court master, Zhong Zhou was very humble: "Where is that?"

Here, Su Xiaoxiao found his examination room according to the number plate.

It is said to be an examination room, but the partitions separated by wooden boards have no doors and are not considered rooms.

The compartment is not big enough for people to sit comfortably, but it is impossible to lie down flat. If you really want to lie down, you can only curl up.

According to the exam rules I heard before, the exam lasts for one day, so the exam room is small and not used for candidates to sleep.

But even if the county exam lasts for one day, you cannot leave the exam room in the middle. Leaving is considered the end of answering questions, which is also different from the exam rules before Su Xiaoxiao traveled through time.

No wonder Mrs. Yu stuffed steamed buns into Su Xiaoxiao's bag. It seemed that Mrs. Yu also knew that the county examination was very long.

I heard that the prefectural and state examinations take longer and take several days at a time.

That is not only a test of the candidates' teaching quality, but also a test of the candidates' physical fitness.

Not long after Su Xiaoxiao sat down in the examination room, she heard the rumble of a carriage.

It's time to distribute test papers.

A stack of paper was handed into Su Xiaoxiao's hands by a lecturer from the Academy of Arts.

Su Xiaoxiao took it and said thank you.

After getting the test paper, Su Xiaoxiao read through it first.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao was ashamed.

The structure of the test papers here is somewhat similar to the Chinese language test before time travel.

There are some questions and answers in the front, and the last one is a very important question. It’s just that before the time travel, it was about composition, but here it is about poetry.

The entire test paper has a very large amount of questions, covering thirty-five pages. No wonder it takes a whole day.

The second step is all fill-in-the-blanks and questions and answers, with no choice or judgment, and no chance for blindness.

Finally, it involves not only Chinese language, but also geography, history, and politics. There are no mathematical problems that can be answered by the flexible use of linear equations of one variable.

But Su Xiaoxiao soon felt relieved.

This is a world where scholars control the power of heaven and earth.

Talent is the primary productive force.

People here naturally study literature and related subjects intensively.

This is just the county examination, for children.

The government examination, state examination, capital examination and palace examination will only be more difficult.

Looking at the huge amount of questions, Su Xiaoxiao no longer wasted time, hurriedly opened the package and took out the pen and ink.

In addition to pen and ink, Yu also stuffed a bamboo tube filled with water into the package.

The water was used to grind the ink. Su Xiaoxiao finished grinding the ink and started to answer the questions.

The entire set of test papers is divided into two parts.

The first part, which is also the first thirty-four pages, is what I have heard, also known as Chao Wen Dao, which is a fill-in-the-blank question involving language, geography, history, and politics.

The last page is the second part, poetry.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at what I heard one by one, and was finally convinced that he didn't know all the questions, but not many.

There are a total of thirty-four pages that I have heard, and combined with her and the original memory, I know the answer for no more than eight pages.

Not even half of it.

So Su Xiaoxiao quickly set her sights on the last page.

Composing poetry is the same as composition, and you can write propositions, such as Wing Chun and Plum Blossom.

More stringent poems will also restrict the use of words, such as the word spring in Wing Chun, or the word plum in plum blossom.

The topic of this exam is frontier fortress poetry, and the word frontier fortress is not allowed.

Speaking of frontier poems, the first thing Su Xiaoxiao thought of was "Deng Gao", which is known as the best seven-character rhyme in ancient and modern times.

But Su Xiaoxiao quickly gave up this idea.

First, because of the high literary attainments of "Denggao", it is known as the first seven-character rhyme in ancient and modern times.

The second is to focus on the author's life experience and write about the sadness of being poor, old and sick.

Su Xiaoxiao's age and life experience do not match.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao chose Wang Han's Liangzhou Ci, which is also a very famous seven-character quatrain.

Su Xiaoxiao dipped his hand in ink and wrote on the test paper——

The luminous cup of grape wine reminds you immediately if you want to drink Pipa.

Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?

After writing the last reply, the words on the paper glowed.

The talent surged, and the light finally stopped at a height of two and a half feet.

The ink dries instantly and becomes a treasure.

This vision only appears in the original version, and does not appear in the manuscript or printed version.

At the same time, a stream of heat poured in from the center of his eyebrows, instantly spreading throughout Su Xiaoxiao's body.

Su Xiaoxiao was washed by the heat and felt warm all over.

Su Xiaoxiao's time-traveling body was depleted of energy and blood. He became panicked and short of breath at the slightest movement, and was extremely weak.

At this moment, the body's weakness slowly faded away in the wash of heat, and the flesh, flesh, and bones became brand new.

In the hall, the county court master took out a literary lamp and stopped.

According to regulations, three literary lamps should be placed side by side.

But they all understand that let alone three special situations at once, there has not been a special situation in the entire Shengyuan Continent in three years.

This lantern is specially prepared for special circumstances. If no special circumstances occur, it will not be used for other purposes.

This was the case when the previous county president took over from the previous county president. The county president was covered in dust when he looked at it.

"It's all dust, let me wipe it off."

The moment Mr. County Court touched the lamp with his finger, the flame suddenly lit up.

The county court gentleman's expression suddenly became a little sarcastic: "Could it be that some rough-and-tumble guy knocked out my lamp?"

If a literary lamp accidentally goes out and the scholar touches another literary lamp, he will immediately light up the one closer to him.

The literary lanterns of the County Court Master were kept in the County Literary Academy, and under his rule, the County Literary Academy had the problem of extinguishing the cultural lanterns, which was a minor mistake.

The Fu Xue was about to say a few words of comfort to the County Court Master when he was suddenly startled: "That's not right!"
