Because Qin Bai was the last one to enter the mansion, after he finished his inspection, the government officials took each scholar to the examination room one after another.
The examination room is divided into several areas, and Qin Bai is near the northwest corner.
The seats inside are independent small rooms, surrounded by three wooden walls. The front is wide open and the furnishings are very simple, just a table and chairs.
The booths are arranged in this way, with no more than half a meter between them, and the order of seats is based on the results of the provincial examination.
Sitting in the second seat near the front was a student dressed in white. He was lying on the floor, blowing the cool breeze with the fan in his hand. He seemed not to be worried about the provincial examination.
Geng Yu believed that he was the most talented in Gusu City, and from the county examination to the provincial examination, he had always been the head of the case, so he inevitably regarded himself as aloof.
He knew a thousand words at the age of three, memorized Tang poetry at the age of five, was proficient in poetry and songs at the age of eight, was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination at the age of 12, and was awarded the title of Scholar at the age of 17. He has only been in the imperial examination for three years, and he thinks he is very sure of winning the examination. .
However, Geng Yu felt frustrated at the beginning of this provincial examination. The seats were arranged according to the results of the provincial examination, and he actually fell one place, which meant that someone had better results than him in the provincial examination.
He was a little unconvinced. If the other party was a scholar from Gusu City, he would definitely know it, but since he didn't even have an impression, it meant that he came from somewhere else.
Time gradually passed, and Geng Yu seemed to have a normal expression, but in fact he was staring at the door. If the person sat down, he would definitely pass by him, so he wanted to see who it was.
Noisy footsteps came, and his chest felt a little tight. Zhou Lingfeng became panicked for a moment. He sat up from the floor, subconsciously straightening his body and back.
The dull sound of footsteps sounded in his ears, seeming to be gradually approaching him.
Geng Yu's eyes widened as an extremely tall figure walked past his door.
Qin Bai turned his head and glanced at him inadvertently, then showed what he thought was a gentle smile, grinning his white teeth.
But this was not the case in Zhou Lingfeng's eyes. He only felt that the other party's smile was threatening, and his aura was like that of an executioner who had just killed several people.
What frightened him the most was that this person actually sat down next to him, which also meant that the other person's grades were on par with his own.
Qin Bai didn't realize at all that his ordinary passing had brought huge psychological shadow to others, so he began to prepare in the small room.
Old Wu Tou, who was leading him from the side, had not yet left. He sighed and was about to turn around when he glanced at Qin Bai subconsciously and froze on the spot.
I saw the other party put the Four Treasures of the Study on the desk, and then took out the spices from the package and placed them one by one.
Then Qin Bai took out a strange-looking iron pot from the package.
Old Wu opened his eyes and checked it carefully several times. Why was this thing put in the package?
It's too outrageous.
"What's wrong? You can't bring the pot?" Qin Bai couldn't help but ask.
Old Wu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. An extremely incredible idea came to his mind.
The man in front of me plans to cook in the examination room. Besides, you can't light a fire in this place.
Qin Bai didn't think so. Even if he took part in the imperial examination, he had no intention of wronging himself and eating and drinking instead.
And as someone who has taken the college entrance examination, I feel very comfortable doing whatever I want in the examination room.
But because someone was present, he put the inner bag aside and did not continue to show off.
When Old Wu saw that Qin Bai didn't take out anything extravagant, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave.
At this time, because all the scholars taking the scientific examination have already taken their seats, the pens, inks, paper, inkstones and test papers required for the examination are on their way to be delivered one after another.
Of course, you can also prepare the Four Treasures of the Study by yourself like Qin Bai, but before entering the examination room, you have to go through repeated inspections by several people.
There are three rural examinations in total. The first examination lasts for three days and contains mainly the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as an eight-legged essay.
Qin Bai naturally knows these things well. After all, he learned them when he was in Hangzhou. Even if they are abandoned, the foundation is still there.
The test papers were quickly handed out and he began to prepare.
The writing brush with the engraving of Judge Lu was put aside by him without using it. No matter what, Qin Bai still had the character of a scholar, and he would never cheat at first glance.
He calmly studied the ink bit by bit and prepared the brush again, his mentality gradually getting closer to that of when he was drawing the talisman.
When the ink was finished grinding, Qin Bai immediately entered the state of mind and couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
Generally speaking, students in imperial examinations first do it on rice paper, and then copy it on the test paper after confirming that it is correct.
He dipped the tip of the brush into some ink and the brush floated on the rice paper. Suddenly his thoughts came to a standstill.
The content on the test paper suddenly seemed to be unfamiliar to him and became so strange that Qin Bai swallowed.
He kept chanting in his mind to focus, and he didn't know how long it took, but self-hypnosis seemed to have some effect.
Qin Bai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the light of wisdom rushed out of his mind like a spring.
As the saying goes, if there are three long and one short, choose the shortest, if there are three short and one long, choose the longest, if there are two long and two short, choose B, if they are both long and short, choose A, if they are different in length, choose D, if they are uneven, C is invincible.
He put down the brush and stopped when he was about to touch the test paper. When he regained consciousness, there was a little sweat on his forehead.
Qin Bai immediately took the brush back, placed it on the inkstone, and then breathed heavily for a while.
I almost started writing just now. It's hard to imagine what I would write. In fact, it would be better to hand in a blank paper.
In order to restore his mood, Qin Bai did radio gymnastics in the small room. After a few sets, a burst of heat suddenly spread from his Dantian towards his body.
He was overjoyed that his martial arts cultivation, which had already reached the pinnacle of An Jin's strength, might be loosened. He followed the trend and continued to practice radio gymnastics.
As time passed, Qin Bai moved faster and faster, and soon strong winds appeared out of thin air.
Geng Yu, who was next door, felt that there was air flowing out from the cracks in the wall, and it became stronger and stronger.
He looked at the wall in horror. The eldest brother on the other side had the electric fan turned on at the tenth gear. For those who didn't know, he thought he was taking the imperial examination at the edge of the cliff. This was too exaggerated.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Bai opened his eyes, and the last movements of the radio gymnastics followed, and all the energy in his body was concentrated.
He waved his right hand, seemingly with all his strength, but there was no sound at all, but he had already stepped from dark strength to bright strength.
This gust of wind was extremely violent. Before Geng Yu could react, the rice paper in front of him flew up and hit him in the face.
The ink on the rice paper was still wet, and all the words he wrote were printed on Zhou Lingfeng's head. All his hard work was in vain, and he had to start over.
Big brother next door, please be a human being.
