Chapter 248 Scene 2
When he woke up early the next morning, Sun Shan looked around in a daze, thinking that he was sleepwalking, and closed his eyes again.
When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I was in the examination room.
I slept all afternoon yesterday, and then worked on my homework all night despite the bites of mosquitoes and insects.
I finally finished writing when the guy next to me started snoring.
Sun Shan endured the stench and the noise, closed his eyes, and curled up on the bed.
I fell asleep in a daze and was woken up early in the morning.
The bailiff came to deliver breakfast.
Sun Shan tried to stand up, but his heels felt as light as if he were stepping on clouds, and he fell onto the bed.
After trying several times, I finally managed to get up. I didn't rinse my mouth or wash my face. I covered my nose with a mint mask and wolfed down my breakfast.
If you don't eat, the bailiffs will come and take it away, and then you might really faint from hunger.
After finishing his breakfast, he closed his eyes and rested against the wall, waiting for the bailiff to come and collect the papers.
Suddenly there was a noise outside, and Sun Shan could vaguely hear: "Ouch, my test paper, my test paper is wet..."
There was a lot of fuss and noise.
Sun Shan couldn't help but stick his head out. When he did, he looked at the man next door, and then quickly looked away.
One of the 10 biggest taboos in the exam room is talking, that is, conversation.
If the chief examiner happens to see Sun Shan looking at the candidate next to him while supervising the exam and mistakenly thinks they are talking, he will stamp "talking" on their test paper and their scores may be invalidated.
Sun Shan didn't dare to look over again. One of the 10 taboos in the examination room was looking around, that is, looking around.
If you are caught, a seal of "Gu Pan" will be stamped on the test paper, and the consequences will be very serious.
The noise continued and then slowly died away. Sun Shan saw two yamen runners dragging the examinee out like a dead dog. With a cloth stuffed in his mouth, the examinee could only shout: Woo~ Woo~
Sun Shan was still frightened by what he saw.
Oh, this guy is so pitiful. No noise is allowed in the examination room.
The yamen runners first warned you that if you didn't obey, you would be dragged out.
It seems that this candidate chose "resistance", one of the 10 taboos in the examination room, so it is not unfair for him to be kicked out of the examination room.
Sun Shan shook his head. He just heard the candidate say that the test paper was wet. He might have overturned the kettle, panicked, and then shouted.
It was no wonder that the examinee was in a panic. After all, there was still an incense stick of time left until noon, and it was too late to copy the answers.
Ouch, poor guy.
Sun Shan lay down on the small bed to rest again. He had finished the first round of the test last night and now just had to wait for the papers to be collected.
After waiting for a while, noon finally arrived. The yamen runners came to collect the papers in an orderly manner, announcing the official end of the first exam.
Sun Shan looked at the scorching sun outside and touched his forehead. It was hot and his chest was very stuffy. He felt more than twice as tired as on the first day.
I quickly put a mint candy in my mouth and suppressed the nausea in my heart.
Sun Shan always wanted to forget the toilet next door, but the strong stench reminded him all the time that he was next to the toilet.
As I was thinking about it, I couldn't eat the mint candy anymore, so I quickly spit it out and continued to dry heave.
He vomited until his face turned blue, but he continued to vomit.
Sun Shan wanted to shout for help, but unfortunately no one could help him and he still had to continue taking the exam.
Not long after the test papers were collected, lunch arrived.
Damn it!
The food was still the same as the first day. It seemed that the kitchen had wholesaled a bunch of ingredients and planned to cook the same meals for three days. This would save time and effort, and the quantity would be large and there would be many discounts, so they could earn kickbacks from it.
Yes, the food in the examination hall is a one-time transaction. You can eat it if you want or not. It’s not eaten by the chefs or government officials anyway.
Sun Shan still forced himself to eat a bowl of rice porridge with pickles. As for the rice and stir-fried pork with beans, he really couldn't eat it.
Sun Shan vaguely heard the guy next door retching.
Oh, it seems that the eldest brother is talking about the second brother. The two candidates near the toilet are almost the same. The stench is wafting from far away. Let's enjoy it together.
Instantly, Sun Shan felt a little better. It was a pleasure to have someone to suffer with.
After lunch, students went to the toilet one after another, and Sun Shan went there once.
To be honest, if he were Xiao Guangzai, he would rather solve it on the spot than go to the toilet. He regretted it every time.
The image of "thatch" lingered in my mind for a long time.
As a few bells rang, the bailiffs began to distribute the second examination papers.
There are two examinations in the college entrance examination. There is no distinction between primary and secondary. Both are very important, and the result of the college entrance examination is the summary of the two.
And he gave up the second game, so the scores for both games were zero.
The second session starts at noon and ends at noon tomorrow. That is to say, even if you plan to hand in the paper early, you still need to wait until noon tomorrow.
Sun Shan checked the test paper carefully, just like he did in the first exam, and felt relieved only when he found that there were no problems.
The content of the second exam did indeed contain laws.
Starting from the year before last, legal knowledge gradually appeared in the college examinations.
Mr. Hong immediately added law to the curriculum, so the students in Class A of the Hong School might have a chance to become “Golden-toothed lawyers” if they worked harder.
In addition to the test on law, the remaining two questions are about arts, both of which are from the Four Books.
One of them is "and learn when you are strong", which comes from "Mencius, Liang Hui Wang Xia": "People learn it when they are young and want to practice it when they are strong."
Another one is "Even if I cover a basketful of dirt", which comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Zi Han": "It is like a flat ground. Even if I cover a basketful of dirt, I will move forward."
Write two eight-part essays respectively.
Sun Shan sighed and decided to finish the law questions first. These questions were not difficult, they were just fill-in-the-blank and explanation questions.
There are no cases given for the candidates to judge according to which law.
Sun Shan finished the law questions quickly. After all, he had been familiar with the "Daqian Code" since he was a child. At first, he did not study for the imperial examination, but to understand how the world works, so as to avoid breaking the law because of "common sense".
It just proves the saying: Opportunities come to those who are prepared.
I didn’t expect that I would take the law exam in the next few years.
Sun Shan wanted to imitate De Ge'er and laugh three times with his hands on his hips to dispel the depression in his heart.
After finishing the law questions, Sun Shan did not prepare for the art questions.
He was feeling more and more uncomfortable and felt like he was going to have a heat stroke.
Sweating, weakness in the limbs, dizziness, thirst, headache, and inattention.
Sun Shan felt that he had all the above symptoms and that taking anti-heatstroke medicine was of no use.
I feel that if this continues, my life will be in danger.
After being in the hot and humid environment for a long time, Sun Shan felt that he could not bear it.
After quickly collecting the test papers, answer sheets, and copy papers, Sun Shan poured some water, wiped his body, and then lay down on the small bed to sleep.
As for the remaining test questions, do them at night.
He was not afraid of oversleeping because the bailiffs would wake him up at dinner time.
Sun Shan forced himself not to think about the exam anymore and to have some sleep first.
Wait until it’s cooler at night before doing the questions.
