Chapter 5: Town Examination
"Jiang Dongyu, sir, asked me to take you to the school." Heng Hu laughed playfully.
The next day, Jiang Dongyu was still asleep when he was woken up by Heng Hu's loud voice. Jiang Dongyu rubbed his confused eyes, arranged his clothes, sat in a wheelchair, and then opened the door.
"It's so early in the morning, what are you yelling about?" Jiang Dongyu said angrily.
"Hehe, you are really heartless. I heard that your teacher asked you not to go to school for three months. I have been worried for a long time. It was your teacher who asked me to come. It seems that I have something important to tell you."
"Now that the three months have not expired, my husband summoned me at this time. Did he find out something?" Jiang Dongyu thought, and then shook his head. He was still a useless person in the eyes of outsiders, harmless to humans and animals.
This is not the first time Jiang Dongyu has come to Mr. Jiang's residence, but it is the most confusing one. Mr. is not only a teacher from the school, but also a teacher from Taohua Town. He will not specially ask him to come here if it is not necessary.
"The city lord's office has issued a document, and the town examination system has undergone some changes this year. The top three people in the city with literary examination scores can enter Shuiyang Academy even if they give up the martial arts examination." The gentleman said, with a smile on his face, waiting for Jiang Dongyu's answer.
reaction.
I don't know why, Jiang Dongyu's nose is very sore. Now that his limbs are sound, his body is unyielding, and he has practiced the magic subduing boxing technique, he no longer worries about the town exam. But when his husband told the news, Jiang Dongyu was moved and couldn't say anything.
.
He did not believe that the town examination system, which had not changed for hundreds of years, would change on its own. It was not easy to pass such a document. Jiang Dongyu could not see the sacrifices involved, but he could feel the heavy kindness.
"Sir." Jiang Dongyu murmured, it's great to live in Taohua Town, and it's great to have such a gentleman.
"I will take the town examination this year." Jiang Dongyu said firmly.
"Why not wait two years? You must know that everyone only has one chance to take the town test. The top three in the city for the literary test is very difficult. It is much more difficult than entering Shuiyang College in both civil and military examinations. It takes two more years.
It will be better if you study." said the gentleman.
Indeed, being among the top three in the city in the literary test is too difficult. Jiang Dongyu can definitely take the literary test again in two years, or take the civil and military examinations. As long as the total score in the civil and military examinations is within 10,000 in the city, he can enter Shuiyang.
College, this is easy for Jiang Dongyu, but Jiang Dongyu doesn't want to miss this opportunity. This is the opportunity that the husband fights for for him and for all the disabled people. He wants to take part in this town examination and get into the water with his literary test scores.
Yang Academy!
"It's decided, I'm still somewhat sure." Jiang Dongyu smiled, and before leaving, he bowed deeply to his husband three times.
The town examination system has existed for hundreds of years. It is a city examination and a national examination. It is the most important examination in the Haichuan Empire. The examination content is unified across the country. Everyone has only one chance to take the examination, and the age of the candidate must not be more than twenty years old. Therefore,
Most people refer to it every year when they are twenty years old, but there are still geniuses who refer to it in their teens. Thirty years ago, there was a man named Qin Shaolin. He was born in the mountains and was born with supernatural powers. He was only sixteen years old, and he referred to it as civil and military.
The total score ranked first in the Haichuan Empire at that time, and now it is in the overlord realm, with the title of Qin Wuhou and a high position of power.
The literary test is divided into three parts: music, chess, poetry and painting, geography, literature and history, and the martial arts test is divided into three parts: shooting, equestrianism, and practical combat. The exam is held in July every year, and it is already early June.
During this month, Jiang Dongyu borrowed nearly ten years of essay test questions from Xuetang Tongwen Hall and realized the difficulty. There are a thousand questions in a set of test papers, including music, chess, poetry and painting, geography, literature and history.
Not divided into papers, the scope is extremely wide and cannot be targeted at all. However, among these ten sets of test papers, there are no more than three questions that Jiang Dongyu cannot solve. However, he cannot complete one set of test papers within the specified time. One thousand questions
Questions, four hours of time, on average, less than thirty seconds for each question to read, think, and answer. Back then, Qin Wuhou could only complete 90% of the test paper.
It’s useless even if you know all the questions, you have to be familiar with them, there is no extra second for you to think, and you have to write quickly and answer the questions simply. This is not like an exam, but more like a war. Even if it is a literary
The test was also full of a tense sense of urgency.
"If you want to complete all the questions within the stipulated time, unless you are familiar with the test questions by heart, you can read the questions at a glance, you don't need to think about the answers, and you have a pen tip to answer the questions. There are many people in history who filled the exam papers with scrawling.
, and I have never heard of someone who got full marks, not because the question is too difficult, but because there is not enough time." Jiang Dongyu touched his chin as smooth as baby skin and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, full marks are not allowed.
.
Whether it is a town exam or a city exam, the imperial city sends the examiner directly to issue and collect the papers. No one can interfere, even if you are powerful, and if the examiner puts yourself in danger, the price will be very heavy.
Today, the Imperial City Inspector came to the school and was personally entertained by Mr.
"Sir, long time no see." I saw a man saying something to Mr. This man had a face like a jade crown, a white smile, dressed in white clothes, and holding a paper fan in his hand. As the saying goes, where does a gentleman come from? Ye Feng gave him a fan.
"Why are you here this year?" Mr. asked in return.
"Sir, please don't mind. Although Huangcheng has approved your essay, we are also curious as to who changed the rules of this essay test for you." Ye Feng said with a slight embarrassment, "So let me take a look at this peach blossom.
Who are the candidates in this town?"
"Are you worried that I will ruin my reputation for someone by engaging in favoritism and cheating in this literary examination?" the gentleman said calmly.
"The city lord is also thinking about Mr. Ye." Ye Feng said with a smile.
"He is determined." The gentleman did not care about such an arrangement. This was a good thing and ensured the absolute fairness of the literary test. He had no intention of using extraordinary means to help Jiang Dongyu pass the literary test. Success was luck, failure was fate.
The examination room in Taohua Town is in the school. In the large lecture hall that can accommodate a thousand people, Jiang Dongyu took up his pen and wrote his name on the essay paper.
“Which five notes does the fifth note in tone deafness refer to?”
Jiang Dongyu glanced at the test questions and wrote "Gong--Shang--Jiao--Zheng--Yu".
The second question is a set of piano scores, which are from the famous imperial song "High Mountains and Flowing Clouds". The title is to write the next set of piano scores.
"I've never heard of it!" Jiang Dongyu's heart skipped a beat. Although this song was a famous song, he had only heard the name but not the music. This was a difficult question for others, but for him, it was a question of giving points.
Jiang Dongyu did not dare to delay and continued with the third question, which were the ten most famous songs in the empire in order...
Time passed. Two hours passed. Although Jiang Dongyu had completed 500 questions, this speed would not be maintained forever. His condition was getting worse and worse, and it took longer and longer to think about a question. He and others
People are different. Others only need to complete 50% of the literary test, which is basically the same. But if he wants to be among the top three in the city's literary test, he must complete at least 80% or even 90%. The time is too tight.
Another hour passed and Jiang Dongyu stopped writing. Now his platform was turbid and his reaction was very slow. This was a sign of excessive energy consumption. After three hours, he barely completed 700 questions, while the others now had the most
After completing four hundred questions, even if he had an unyielding physique, he still couldn't bear it.
"You need to rest." The inspection officer Ye Feng put a glass of water on Jiang Dongyu's table.
Jiang Dongyu looked up, his eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were slightly hollow.
"Thank you." Jiang Dongyu knew this examiner. He was the examiner of the literary examination. Besides Ye Feng, there was another examiner, who was the examiner of the martial arts examination.
Jiang Dongyu drank the water in one gulp and felt a little better, but when he looked at the test paper again, he found that he could not answer a question.
"Your energy has been exhausted. It is difficult to answer another question without resting for three days and three nights. There are seven hundred questions in three hours. I only heard that Qin Wuhou can do it at this speed. If
If you are not so impatient, you should be able to complete more than 80% of the results in four hours, and there is still hope for you to be among the top three in the city. It is indeed a pity for you. No wonder the teacher changed the literary examination system for you to get three papers." Ye Feng knew that Jiang Dongyu's spirit had already
When I reached a point where I was close to exhaustion and lost the ability to continue doing the questions, I spoke to him softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Dongyu was silent. His husband had written three documents for him, but he could not repay his kindness. If he gave up, even if his husband forgave him, he himself would not be able to forgive himself.
After a moment, Jiang Dongyu came to his senses, changed his pen, and turned the page. This page was a painting test, requiring him to draw a picture with people, trees, and a story.
Jiang Dongyu took a deep breath, and the brush flew. Ye Feng looked at Jiang Dongyu's test paper curiously. After a while, his eyes showed deep surprise. What Jiang Dongyu painted was a scene of morning reading in the school. The teacher was holding it in his right hand on the stage.
Holding a ruler and holding a sage's book in his left hand, he read with the students in the audience in the morning. This scene is common to everyone. Everyone can feel this scene. Unknowingly, Ye Feng's eyes were a little moist. It has been decades since he left the school. At this time
Seeing this scene, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Vaguely, Ye Feng seemed to hear the sound of morning reading.
"Disciples' rules and sage's instructions are to be filial to younger brothers first, to be sincere in faith, to love others universally, and to be kind and benevolent. If you have spare energy, study literature..."
Jiang Dongyu also heard the sound of morning reading, he heard it clearly, from the painting!
Whoa! Jiang Dongyu started to answer the questions again. His spiritual skills were unprecedentedly clear at this time. He could remember ten lines at a glance and write out what he had learned in the past. His pen tip was so fast that he did not stop.
"Wow." Ye Feng whispered, what is going on.
Jiang Dongyu entered Taoism, entered Taoism through painting, and achieved the realm of painting. Therefore, although the audible sound of morning reading he painted cannot yet be seen, he is no longer an ordinary painter, but a painter of the universe that is difficult to find throughout the ages.
Jiang Dongyu's spirit had never been so good. The previous fatigue was gone. When he finished the last question, there was still enough time for a cup of tea. Jiang Dongyu's eyes returned to the second question.
That was his only blank question. He had never heard the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", so he couldn't answer it.
"I hope it can be done." Jiang Dongyu murmured, and picked up a pen to trace on the original set of music scores of Gaoshanliushui. A burst of piano music sounded in Jiang Dongyu's mind. Jiang Dongyu closed his eyes slightly and listened. The music did not change because of the music.
The end of that set of music scores ends, and the sound of the piano continues to the next set of music scores until the end of the piece.
Chapter completed!
