Examination of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 69

Backlund, Hillston District.

There are Backlund Stock Exchange, Clearing House, Futures Center, the headquarters of seven major banks, various trust funds, various railway companies, and various bulk cargo trading companies. It is called the economy and business of the Ruen Kingdom. and financial center.

At the door of the Fran Mickey Steam Steel Company, a high platform was set up with a “rickshaw” on it, and many people stopped to watch, Merrill Haig loudly held a cylindrical horn on the high platform, Pointing to the car behind him, he spoke with emotion:

“We have selected 2,000 families in need, here is the list, each of them is not afraid of any investigation, we will rent to these families at a low price of 1 sole a week, next Sunday at the latest Vehicles will be given to each family, and perhaps more in the future, the “Rickshaw Charity Fund” established by our ‘Franmie Cage Steam Steel Company’  …”

There were many reporters in the audience holding notebooks and recording with pens, including reporters from major newspapers such as Backlund Daily and Tussock News. The bulky camera kept taking pictures of the oddly shaped car.

“Now, journalists, you can observe this “rickshaw” up close in order.

“Mr. Merrill Hague, the company here has documents that you need to confirm.”

As soon as Meryl Haig stepped off the stage, a civilian ran over and whispered in his ear.

Hearing this, he turned to the reporters and nodded with a smile, then turned and walked into the company.

“I need to go to the “rickshaw” charity dinner held at Mr. Franmy’s house this afternoon. You can arrange it.”

Entering the company, Meryl Hegra pulled his bow tie and instructed the clerk next to him.

Fran Mickey decided to promote the “Rickshaw Charity Fund” on a large scale and turn it into capital for himself to enter the National House of Representatives.

……………………………

A carriage slowly appeared in front of the examination room, and a person took out a stack of white paper from the carriage and handed it over.

Alvin took the white paper, touched it carefully, and said to himself, “The quality of the paper and printing is excellent, and it is much easier to use than yellow-brown parchment.”

After reading it roughly, Alvin had a general idea. Two-thirds of the paper was used to replace it after writing mistakes for the candidates.

The top three pages are poetry examinations.

The next fifteen sheets are each with a sentence, and then fill in the original text in front or behind. (fill in the blank)

The last nine chapters are all four books and five classics with large paragraphs or even entire chapters written in dictation.

There are also some famous passages and famous sentences in some books for interpretation.

“Fortunately, the content of the test is basically from the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are so many famous classics. If you really want to test something else, you can go home directly.”

He brought the book box directly, took out the pen and ink, spread out the paper, took out two paperweights, pressed the paperweights on the top of the page, glanced at the first question, poured the water into the inkstone, and slowly ground it with a long ink stick.

According to the test order, you need to answer the interpretation first, then dictation.

Finally, poetry, after all, in the eyes of the ancients, poetry is a trail.

The first question, Zhong Ni said: The gentleman is the mean, the villain is against the mean. The gentleman is the mean, the gentleman is the middle; the villain is the mean, the villain is unscrupulous.

After all, as a child, his memory and comprehension are much better than before, but now he just lacks knowledge and has only read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he still remembers the things in “The Doctrine of the Mean”, so he picked up a pen and wrote it.

Translation: The words of a gentleman, the deeds of a gentleman, the near and the mean. . . . . . .

After answering all the questions, Alvin put down the brush and rubbed his sore wrist.

Fortunately, I usually practice writing, otherwise I might not be able to finish these exam papers within the allotted time.

“Boom! Boom!”

The two gongs sounded just in time, and Alvin immediately knew that two and a half hours had passed.

In another half an hour, the papers will be collected, and then the poetry exam papers will be issued.

Fang Yun checked carefully for an hour, and there was no blemish or typo, and he answered all the test questions correctly.

Not long after, the gong rang three times, the carriage came again, and the curler gave Alvin the poetry volume, and then took it away.

Exam paper.

Alvin took a closer look at the title of the poem and put his mind at ease. He didn’t ask for the necessary flatness, but only asked for rhyme and deduction, five-character, seven-character, quatrains, rhythmic poems, ci, parallel prose or fu.

Choose one of the two themes of autumn or spring.

“This…….”

Alvin was stunned. He didn’t allow him to copy anything, but he actually made himself an original “bamboo slip”. Does he not know how much ink is in his stomach?

Reluctantly, he took the bamboo tube beside him and took a sip of water. Suddenly, his thoughts flooded.

“………”

It wasn’t until the final submission that I dawdled and wrote a song

“Falling Flowers and Autumn”

The wind blows and the flowers fall on the cold hill

Pure heart is like water

Don’t ask about the three thousand things of the world

Today’s sorrow and ancient hatred all go into wine

The gong sounded, the picture began to change rapidly, and everything around began to recombine, and when the picture was frozen,

……………………………

Alvin found himself still at the table in the study on the second floor at No. 3 Nicholas Street, and nothing around him had changed.

The only difference is that the last bit of ashes fell from the 12-inch incense in front of the table, and the piece of paper slowly fell from the air.

The words “Nanke Yimeng” on the paper disappeared, and a few words appeared.

Ranking results:

Iron words, bad words, no mistakes, B.

Poem: B.

Suddenly, the bamboo slips in my mind trembled, and the rope that bound the “bamboo slips” slowly faded and disappeared.

A majestic force spanned a long distance and poured in from the top of Alvin’s head, feeling as if he was in a hot spring, very comfortable.

At this moment, the outside world is already in chaos. In the clear sky, a star suddenly lights up in the sky. Although it is not as dazzling as the sun, it still attracts the attention of countless people.

The last time was at night, without causing a huge stir, this time it was during the day,

Whether it was the Church of the Seven Gods, the major secret organizations, the Beyonders, and countless ordinary people~www.mtlnovel.com~ all raised their heads and looked at the stars in the sky.

Different from the warm golden color like the sun, it is a pure white, which makes people feel a sense of uprightness, but the light of the stars does not spread to the earth, as if it is blocked by mysterious power.

Alvin felt that there was a huge flow of information pouring into his mind, his thinking was getting faster, his eyesight had gotten better, and he could clearly hear the sounds of carriages passing by on the street outside.

Suddenly it started to itch and colic appeared again. Every inch of his skin and flesh seemed to be torn apart. He was very sure that he was like a steamed shrimp now.

“What happened at this time, out of control?”

Then the whole person fell to the ground and began to twitch all over. Alvin, who couldn’t bear the pain, fainted directly.

I don’t know how long it took him to realize that he was still alive. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion. At this time, his nose twitched and he smelled a foul odor.

Sitting up, he saw black stains all over his body, the smell made him nauseous.

He got up quickly, he felt that his body felt a lot lighter and his strength increased.

“Have you completed your promotion? Fran Mickey Steam Steel Company, didn’t you say last time that it would not be able to supply 2,000 rickshaws until next week?” Alvin thought doubtfully.

“It stinks. It’s not the time to study this, but the most important thing is to get to the bathroom as soon as possible.”

He walked quickly to the table, picked up the silver knife, broke the wall of spirituality, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.

“Meow?” Yuumi moved her nose and jumped back a lot, acting like nausea and vomiting.

Seeing Yuumi’s actions, Alvin twitched his mouth and walked quickly into the bathroom.

Yuumi looked at Alvin’s back with a worried look on her face.
