The Transmigrated Li Jin’s Daily Farming Life

A few months before the exam, Li Jin always promised to bathe in cold water at home in order to adapt to the imperial examination system.

He had traveled here anyway, and had heard that many test-life students froze to death in the test room.

Among them, Qiuwei freezes to death the most. After all, Qiuwei takes the test for nine days in total, with three days each, and three consecutive tests.You have to rest in the room at night. There is no bedding or thick cotton-padded clothes. People with poor physical fitness may really have trouble.

Of course, Li Jin thought, washing himself with Qin Muwen is not counted.How could he be willing to let Fu Lang take a cold shower with him.

In fact, all candidates who participated in the imperial examination knew that the county examination in February was very cold.So they will also take various measures, such as drinking medicine, wearing thin cotton clothes in advance in the study to "simulate the examination room environment".

It is not painful or itchy to drink medicine. Most people will drink decoctions to dispel the cold.

However, most people can't hold on to the cold before wearing a thin cotton coat.Their family members are also worried that doing so in advance will directly freeze the candidates and make them unable to take the exam.

Li Jin stood there for a while, and when he walked over, the heat generated by the exercise was about to dissipate.The thin cotton-padded clothes can't withstand the cold at all. When the wind blows over, it seems to be blowing directly on the skin, taking away the only remaining temperature.

But he still carried the bamboo basket and endured the cold calmly.

After a while, when the county magistrate began to roll the call, Li Jin even heard the cold teeth trembling of the man in front of him, but the man also resisted.

For the imperial examination and fame, everyone gave it up.

"Hongyan Village, Li Jin."

Li Jin went out and walked towards the north gate in accordance with the rules.

One person took the bamboo basket in his hand and checked his pen, ink and food. Because an exam lasts a whole day, each person can bring two steamed buns for lunch, but no other food.

These requirements were announced on the list last month.

The bamboo basket quickly disappeared from Li Jin's line of sight, and he took off his thin jacket, opened his hands, one person searched his body, and the other checked whether there was any entrainment in the cotton clothes.

Li Jin was undergoing careful inspection when he suddenly heard someone shouting next to him: "Yongle Village, Sun Shan, I found entrainment in the steamed buns!"

Li Jin was taken aback, and the person who checked him had already returned his cotton-padded clothes and bamboo basket.

When he put on the coat again, he found that the coat was still warm.The riots did not last long, and soon someone dragged away the entrained exam. As for how to punish it, no one knew.

Because of the Sun Shan incident, there are a few exams that have not yet come to the examination, their faces are as white as paper, and their legs are shaking like chaff, but at this time no one dares to escape and can only bite the bullet to check.

Sure enough, some of these people found entrainment in the cotton wool of the cotton-padded clothes, and some wrote the cheat sheet directly on the clothes.

In the end, without exception, they were all dragged away, and it was useless to let them cry for mercy.

There was no problem with Li Jin. Another person took him into Beiyuan and stood in line behind the county magistrate.

Li Jin realized that his steamed bun had been torn apart and he suddenly lost his appetite.

The county government seemed to provide hot soup at noon. It would be okay if you didn't eat steamed buns, Li Jin thought.

After everyone finished the roll call, they all went to the county magistrate to the end, and then entered the central hall to receive the answer sheet.

Originally, there was still a part of singing and guaranteeing, but it was said that because of the war, there were too few talents in the middle of the country. His Majesty recruited talents, which simplified the county test.Therefore, in recent years, there have been many people taking part in the county test.

But the difficulty of the question remained the same.On the contrary, arithmetic has been added this year, which has caused a lot of headaches for many people.

Li Jin looked at the number on his test paper, one hundred and thirty-two.He found his seat, put the bamboo basket by his feet, and placed the pen and ink on the table in turn.

When everyone was seated, the sky had changed from dark to bright.

Because of the large number of people in the examination, the tables and chairs in the entire examination room are full of tables and chairs, and the sizes are not consistent. It seems that some are directly moved from the nearby private school.

Fortunately, although Li Jin's tables and chairs are worn out, there are no large holes on the tabletop, which does not affect writing.

Li Jin had stood outside for a long time before, with cold hands, but according to regulations, he could not make small movements in the examination room.He can only make fists with both hands, then slowly release them, repeating in turn, regaining his consciousness.

The people on the field beat the gong to announce the official start of the exam.

After filling in the name and place of origin and examination number, the yaman held the examination question board and circulated back and forth in the examination room to ensure that everyone could see the examination questions.[Note]

Li Jin first looked at his test paper, which was rice paper with red lines and straight lines. Each page had 14 lines and each line had 18 characters.[Note]

There are also two plain papers that can be drafted.

He thought of Mr. Song's explanation, and must not involve the deceased and contemporary emperors' dates and names, otherwise it would be counted as a crime.

Li Jin settled down, and the person who happened to be holding the test question board also walked over to him, and he started to copy the test questions.

This is the first game, also called the main game.The test questions are fairly simple. Try two essays in four books and one poem with five characters and six rhymes. The total number of characters should not exceed 700 words.[Note]

Trying the four-book essay is to use the eight-part essay to incorporate the four-book essays that you have memorized to test whether students have a solid foundation.

Since entering the examination room, Li Jin has a correct attitude, regardless of gains and losses, his face is serious and serious.

After he finished copying the title, he did not rush to write, but thought about a stick of incense. He copied the core of the title on the plain paper, and then used the "brainstorm mind map" that he had learned in his previous life, "The five classics" related parts are listed out one by one.

In this way, you can justify yourself if you write a stereotypical essay in a while.

Although eight-legged essays have strict requirements on flatness and format, the most important thing is to ask questions and solve them if an article can be written satisfactorily.

Or simply sum it up in four words and justify it.

The main exam is relatively simple, and each eight-legged essay can be up to 300 words.

Li Jin listed the draft first, modified the sentence, and then copied it.

When he finished writing the first four test essays, he wrote half of the second draft.It's noon, and the yavier keeps bringing hot soup in. If someone needs it, they can raise their hands, but don't make noise.

There is no cash for this hot soup, Li Jin was surprised.

I consumed too much brain power in the morning, and the clothes were not thick. Li Jin felt that he needed a bowl of hot soup.

When the hot soup came, Li Jin was surprised to find that it was actually bone soup. Although the taste was very weak, it was much better than plain water.

It can be seen that nowadays, the government is very rich in the country and the people.

But then again, the two hundred essays registered for the previous exam probably also included the cost of rice paper, tables and chairs, and hot soup.

Li Jin was hungry. Although he didn't want to eat that steamed bun, he thought that there were four days to take the exam, so he couldn't stop eating every day.

So enduring the obsession with cleanliness, he peeled the broken steamed buns and soaked them in hot soup.

The steamed buns that had been frozen solidly were quickly soaked soft, and Li Jin felt that his whole body was warmed up after a bowl.

After noon, there is still hot soup, but this is charged, a bowl of forty wen.

Chen Xiran sat diagonally in front of Li Jin. When Li Jin finished writing the second article and only one poem remained, he saw Chen Xiran raise his hand and ask for another bowl of soup.

Li Jin wanted to remind him, but at the moment he couldn't say anything, he could only watch him finish a bowl of soup.

Li Jin thought, there is only one day in each county test, which is not allowed to go to the toilet, drink so much, and wait until the test is over.

Isn't it Li Jin for the last poem to try? He has now found his place in the poem.

The simple pastoral style that fits the farm life suits him well.

But if the examiner likes the type of rhetoric, he will not be popular.But there is nothing wrong with it.

After Li Jin finished writing, he carefully checked the typos again.Then raise your hand and wait for someone to rewind the paper.

He packed his bamboo basket, and had to sit on the same place, and waited until the last'release' before he could leave the examination room with others.

In the county test, the county magistrate, as the chief examiner, can only sit at the forefront and cannot inspect the students’ test papers, lest he recognize the handwriting of some people and deliberately give high marks.

Therefore, although the family backgrounds of the students taking the imperial examinations are quite different, all the content and scoring of the examinations are the fairest.

This is also the only way for the poor family to get ahead.

Chen Xiran and Li Jin left the county office and asked Li Jin to wait for him directly, while clutching his stomach, he ran to find the latrine.

Then came back and vowed: "I won't spend money to buy sins again!"

In the second exam, there were dozens of fewer people than the first.Many people came to line up before dawn, but were told that their first handwriting was too ugly to pass.Cannot take the second exam.

In other words, the county magistrate screened all the candidates' handwriting and answers overnight.

Naturally, there is no time to read the content carefully, otherwise these people won't be the only ones who have been screened out.

Li Jin saw that these people's colleges were still young for many years, and I am afraid it was what Mr. Song said,'experience the atmosphere in advance.'

The second scene is the surrender, also known as the first surrender.There is not much difference from the content of the first scene, but the poem is changed to dictated "Sheng Yu Guang Xun" about 100 characters.

The most stringent requirement is not to make mistakes in the dictation process.

The answer sheet is just that, it is impossible to give a new one, so if you accidentally make a mistake, it is tantamount to miss the third exam.

Even as calm as Li Jin, he copied it on plain paper first, and then copied it down carefully.

Because of this delay, when Li Jin finished writing, it happened to be the time to rewind the paper.He followed everyone and turned in the papers to go out.

At this time, several people were pale and whispered, "It's over, I wrote a wrong line when silently writing..."

One of them was old, with silver and white in his black hair, and he started to cry.

When entering the third exam, Li Jin really saw the old man among the group of people who hadn't been named.

Li Jin was still feeling that these people were not easy, but when he saw the exam questions, there was only a wordless helplessness left in his heart.

Because the first three questions in the third session are still normal, it is nothing more than a scripture, a law fu, and a trial poem.

But the final dictated content is-dictated the seventh and eleventh sentences of the "Shenzhen Guangxun" in the front field.

The typo still cannot be corrected.

So before the fourth exam, dozens of people were screened.

After the fourth test, the county official sent someone to collect the answer sheet and announced that there will be a fifth test tomorrow, which will be the main test of mathematics.

This is within the range of Li Jin's prediction, but most people are obviously blank.

How can there be calculations?Although this is required knowledge, it has not appeared in the test questions for several years!

The county magistrate obviously didn't come to discuss with everyone. After he made an indifferent announcement, he arranged for the people to leave.
