Chapter 725 Examination (2)
After a while, the sound of bells was heard.
This voice is so familiar. It is a reminder that it is time for the candidates to enter and for their relatives and friends to leave.
Sun Shan and his fellow examinees lined up quickly with their examination baskets and walked into the Imperial Examination Hall in an orderly manner.
The three people from Sunjia Village stared at Sun Shan's back and were reluctant to leave until he disappeared.
Gui Ge'er was always thinking about his brother Shan, hoping that Shan would succeed.
Sun Shan followed the crowd and walked forward silently. It was not because he did not want to talk, but the soldiers in charge of discipline did not allow them to whisper.
After entering the Imperial Examination Hall, they were led in to bathe and change clothes.
The most difficult part has finally arrived.
Sun Shan stretched his neck and head and walked in.
It doesn’t matter whether you live or die, no one cares anyway.
It was the first time I saw a bathhouse. There were several large pools. One by one, the candidates took off all their clothes and walked in, then jumped into the pool to wash.
But the water was still hot, and the court showed a little humanity and did not let them take a cold shower.
After washing for less than three seconds, Sun Shan immediately ran up and lined up to get his clothes.
As for the previous clothes, I don’t know where they went.
He Shujun said that after changing clothes, he would wear the clothes provided by the Imperial Examination Hall. After coming out, he would change into his own clothes and then change back into the Imperial Examination Hall clothes.
However, clothes may be lost during the journey, so don't wear too nicely when entering the venue, lest someone take your clothes and exchange them for money.
Of course, if you lose your clothes, you can report it to the police, but most candidates will not do this.
He starts to get into lawsuits before he has made any achievements or become a pillar of the court. Such people are troublemakers in official circles and have a bad reputation.
So for the sake of your future, if your clothes are lost, just throw them away and consider it bad luck.
Sun Shan put on his clothes and stood with a group of examinees. They would worship "Heaven, Earth and God Teacher" together later.
Sun Shan curled up and trembled. This time, not only his legs were shaking, but his entire body was shaking.
Damn it~
In the middle of winter, you are only allowed to wear thin clothes and not even underwear.
There was just one layer of ice inside and outside, and it was so cold that people's lips turned purple and their whole body was shaking.
The clothes Sun Shan took were large in size.
He wanted to exchange it for another one, but the staff's attitude was as if they owed him money for ten or twenty years.
Silence is better than words: Wear it if you want or not, then forget it.
There was nothing Sun Shan could do but put it on.
It is said that the provincial examination is difficult, and it seems that the metropolitan examination is equally difficult. Only by experiencing it can you know the feeling.
Sun Shan was wearing a long coat and long pants, looking like Sun Wukong, with his sleeves swinging back and forth. Suddenly, a chuckle came from the next room, and Sun Shan stopped swinging his sleeves and looked up.
Emma~ I actually met Du Liubo here.
We met, so why do the same clothes look so elegant on him?
This was the second time Sun Shan met Du Liubo. The previous time he was far away and could only see him vaguely.
I probably know that Du Liubo is very tall and thin, and doesn't look like a southerner at all, but rather like a northerner.
I don’t know if it’s because I grew up in Beijing and ate steamed buns, so I’m taller.
At this time, Du Liubo had disheveled hair and was more than a head taller than Sun Shan.
Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and his eyes were clear and deep. What a gentle and elegant young man.
He looks even more handsome than his older cousin.
Of course, in Sun Shan's heart, even if Du Liubo was as handsome as Pan An or as beautiful as Song Yu, he could never catch up with the beauty of his eldest cousin.
Sun Shan has always been "nepotism".
When Du Liubo saw Sun Shan looking over, he quickly bowed to express his apology.
It seems to be saying: My dear, please forgive me. I just couldn't help laughing, please don't mind.
Sun Shan has always been open-minded, so he naturally didn't care about Du Liubo's laughter.
He rolled up his sleeves and cupped his hands to show that it was okay.
Everyone stood in the cold night and waited for a long time. Finally, the bell rang again and the worship began.
A group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and someone was talking above.
The content of the speech was similar to that of the provincial examination, both saying "Our ancestor is a great man of literature and art, and I admire the virtues of our ancestors and pay respect to our teacher. Our teacher, Confucius, taught all living beings and wished to be a sage of Confucianism and Taoism."
Some messages from the emperor and the rules of the examination were also read out.
Sun Shan and other examinees knelt tremblingly and listened to a bunch of unnecessary nonsense until the word "stand" was spoken. Then all the students stood up.
Sun Shan's legs were numb from the cold and he could not even walk. But since everyone else was walking, how could he not walk?
Follow the crowd into the "Dragon Gate" and head towards the dormitory.
The difference between the metropolitan examination and the provincial examination is that food, clothing and charcoal are all provided by the Imperial Examination Hall. Sun Shan only needs to take his examination basket and easily walk in to find his examination room.
There are no "water and fire men" here, and no one is needed to help carry things.
As soon as we entered the Imperial Examination Hall, we found it extremely lively and bustling, completely different from what we had just experienced.
The room was decorated with lights and the night was as bright as day. Candidates were walking around, busy as ever.
Some people would get together and chat with familiar friends, some would quickly take a sip of medicinal wine to warm themselves up after finding their own cells, and some would quarrel with their neighbors, but no one knew what they were quarreling about.
Sun Shan looked at his license plate and walked forward according to the instructions.
The Imperial Examination Hall in the capital was larger than the one in Guangzhou, and the route was particularly long. Sun Shan was sweating as he walked, even in the middle of winter.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed, but still did not go to his cell.
My legs are sore at this moment, but I still have to keep moving forward.
Sun Shan walked along the way without meeting anyone he knew.
I don’t know where Zhu Pengyun, He Shujun, and Kong Yi are.
But these are not important matters. What we need to do now is to find a dormitory.
I passed through another "dragon gate" and walked in, and was stunned in an instant.
Sun Shan looked at the license plate, then at the instructions posted on the wall, and comparing the two proved that he was not taking the wrong road.
Oh my God, he was actually assigned to the new examination room, which was a temporary room built with wooden boards.
This is Muhao She, Muhao She~
Sun Shan immediately thought that wood is easy to make fire.
If the fire breaks out, wouldn't he have a greater chance of becoming a roasted pig?
When the wood is burning, it makes a crackling sound. When the sun mountain is burning, it makes a sizzling sound?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
It was winter, it was night, and I was only wearing a thin layer of clothes. At this moment, my heart was as cold as an ice cave.
Sun Shan observed the wooden house. It was indeed very new, but the wooden boards were put together sparsely and there were big gaps between them.
It's obvious that they cut corners.
When the wind blows in such a cold weather, it’s so cold!
Sun Shan walked forward resignedly and looked at the license plate, but he hadn't arrived yet.
When I got to the bottom, I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sun Shan looked at the license plate again: "East First Character 70".
Sun Shan looked at the big "First" and then walked in. He went to the end and saw "Seventy". Then he looked next to it.
Nima!!!!!!
Ah~~~~~~
Help~~~~Life~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
