Chapter 37:
Not to mention, following Xia Qian’s gentle and gentle massage, Li Qingyan’s abdominal pain was relieved a lot. The sudden and sudden tingling sensation in the lower abdomen slowly disappeared, and his complexion was slightly better.
Li Qingyan’s eyes were astonished, and she glanced at the celadon box in the hands of Xia Qian’s young man, thinking that it would be put in modern mass production, and it is estimated that it would make a lot of money. If you know her old problem, but after taking many medicines, it won’t work. .
However, in Xia Qian’s eyes, Li Qingyan’s surprise thought it was Li Qingyan who wanted to prepare a bottle.
Without thinking about it, Xia Qian made a move towards the young man behind him.
“Ebony, give Qiuping the jade paste.”
Ebony paused with the “jasper paste” hand, and a hint of surprise flashed across the dull face.
Li Qingyan was also taken aback. After understanding Xia Qian’s intentions, she waved her hand quickly.
“Brother Xia, Brother Xia has just helped me. My health has improved a lot. This jasper anoint should be precious, and Brother Xia should keep it alive.”
Li Qingyan could understand the appearance of ebony, and she also had a personal experience of the ointment that worked so quickly. In the case of the Dayan Dynasty, when the medical skills were not yet developed, it should be extremely precious.
Xia Qian smiled.
“The value of jasper paste is most precious only in the hands of those who apply it. Xia Mou views Li Shizi. The problem of abdominal pain may be caused by nervousness and anxiety. I want to worry a lot for this exam. With Li Shizi’s strength, naturally If you can enter the Imperial College, I heard that the Imperial College has a big exam every month. Li Shizi prepares this thing, which is always in handy.”
Li Qingyan was still a little embarrassed to take the passage.
“Then I can’t ask Brother Xia for nothing.”
This girl Li Qingyan doesn’t like to owe favors, especially since she was planning to use Xia Qian before, but now that Xia Qian treats her so well, the guilt in her heart can’t stop.
The two were deadlocked, but no one was able to convince anyone.
Finally, Xia Qian took a step back.
“How about this thing as a celebration gift given by Xia Mou to Li Shizi for passing the imperial examination?”
“But I haven’t done it yet.” Li Qingyan still didn’t want to.
When Xia Qian heard the words, his eyes closed slightly, and his smile closed. Compared with the talents, his expression was serious and serious.
“Li Shizi, but forgot the last time I exchanged eight-legged essays?”
“Naturally remember.” Li Qingyan didn’t know why Xia Qian brought up this matter.
However, Xia Qian’s expression paused slightly, and then stretched for a moment. His clean and beautiful eyebrows looked at Li Qingyan so lightly, his eyes seemed long and deep, and then he said every word.
“Li Shizi with such insights must be a man with a mountain and river in his mind.”
“What’s the reason to be afraid of a mere examination?”
Two sentences, although they spoke softly and softly, they ended up loudly.
Xia Qian is serious.
Li Qingyan’s expression was a little loose, not only because of Xia Qian’s serious words, but also because of the reasons behind his words, a feeling of affirmation suddenly appeared in his heart.
Not sure about “Li Qingyan”, “Shengjing No. 1 Talent” Li Qingyan.
Rather, it affirms that “Li Qingyan” comes from modern times, and uses modern learning to self-analyze Li Qingyan who understands the “eight-part essay”.
It turned out that she was like a person in Xia Qian’s eyes.
This was a height that Li Qingyan had never imagined herself, as if something had been opened in her mind in a daze.
Li Qingyan was shocked for a while, but Xia Qian reminded him.
“Li Shizi?”
She only realized that Li Qingyan trembled her eyelashes before returning to normal, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
“In this case, Qing Yan is disrespectful, and I wish Brother Xia can get what he wants and pass the exam.”
The next moment, Li Qingyan tilted her head playfully, thinking in distress.
“Besides, Brother Xia’s celebration gift is so heavy, Qingyan can be annoyed to give Brother Xia’s celebration gift.”
Xia Qian clenched his eyebrows and waved his hand awkwardly.
“If you don’t use it, you don’t need it. This is what I want for Li Shizi. I don’t need it anymore. Li Shizi doesn’t have to worry about it.”
Seeing that Xia Qian was really silly and serious, Li Qingyan couldn’t help but smile, and laughed out a small dimple.
“Brother Xia, Qingyan is talking about a joke. Of course, the celebration gift is to be given. This can’t be pushed. Otherwise, I won’t accept the jasper anointing. However, I had already thought about your celebration gift.”
When Xia Qian heard the words, his frowned brows slowly stretched out, revealing a suddenly realized expression.
“That’s the case. For Li Shizi’s celebration, Xia must work hard.”
After speaking, he unconsciously started to read silently, and his little head wobbled little by little, looking like a serious and old-fashioned “old school”.
Upon seeing this, Li Qingyan had a deeper smile on her face. She had to say that she was also a lot more relaxed with a simple person like Xia Qian.
and……
Li Qingyan looked at the celadon box that Qiu Ping had put in her hands, and there was a slight difference in her eyes.
Li Qingyan has always taken care of others. Today, it is rare to be taken care of. The object is still Xia Qian. Li Qingyan feels something new and strange in her heart.
This scene fell far in the eyes of Bai Jingshu who wanted to cheer Li Qingyan early on.
His gaze finally fell on Li Qingyan’s shallow dimple, and a trace of gloom flashed in the beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Then, gently lowered the carriage curtain.
——
While queuing up, Li Qingyan peeked at Xia Qian, who was stupidly memorizing the article next to him, and smiled secretly into a rolling fat pufferfish.
However, time passed very quickly, and it was not long before it was Li Qingyan and Xia Qian’s turn to enter the Gongyuan examination room.
At the beginning, Li Qingyan also thought about how to identify candidates when there is no admission ticket with photos in this era?
It was only later discovered that the ancients also had great wisdom.
Although there is no admission ticket, there is something like an “identity document”.
The so-called “identity document” is a combined post with supplementary descriptions of portrait text.
The top is the portrait of the candidate, and the bottom is the text supplement of the candidate’s facial features, and the official seal is stamped to prove the authenticity of the “identity document”.
Although Li Qingyan was well-known in Shengjing, there were not many people who met him. Therefore, when the “identifier” suddenly saw a prosperous and beautiful person in front of him, he still didn’t react too much.
After opening Li Qingyan’s identity document, he knew that he was the “Shengjing No. 1 Talent” Li Qingyan.
Not to mention just learning, at least this appearance is far beyond rumors.
As a result, when the surprised identification officer saw the portrait on Li Qingyan’s document, he almost left the document without disgust.
Even the essence of Li Qingyan himself has not been drawn, no wonder that the facial features underneath are added to the text, and Li Qingyan has almost been praised to the sky.
It seems that the painter also knows that his painting skills are limited.
After seeing Li Qingyan, the recognition officer was not surprised by Xia Qian behind him. Although he was born in Jiangnan poetry and ceremonies, but at the feet of the emperor, when he goes out and shakes his feet, he can shake out a bunch of princes, not so much. Brilliant.
Therefore, the recognition officer’s attitude towards Xia Qian was much worse, but Xia Qian was kind and always laughing.
After waiting for the first dragon gate, the second dragon gate is the “body search”.
This is also the link that Li Qingyan’s parents worry about the most, but speaking of it, Li Qingyan herself is not very worried.
Because of this link, candidates are not required to take off their clothes, but they need to use a long wooden strip similar to a “wood ruler” to penetrate into the sleeves and waist, as well as the inside of the chest, to check whether there are foreign objects in it.
Li Qingyan is a modern person. As long as the wooden strips are inserted into the coat, not into the underwear, she will not feel so.
The underwear here is different from modern underwear, but a white silk top.
Besides, her chest is not too big, she is still wrapped tightly, flat enough to take off, no different from a man.
Therefore, Li Qingyan is not worried at all.
Sure enough, Li Qingyan did pass safely.
But this is not the end. After searching the body, he has to change into the prescribed uniform. You can’t wear your own clothes in the examination room.
This uniform is an unstitched dress and a matching single-layer sole.
It seems that the ancient people’s defense against cheating is also very good.
After Li Qingyan changed his “uniform” in the house, she took her pen, inkstone and food, entered the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy, and found her own room.
The residence of the Great Yan Dynasty is similar to the Jiangnan Gongyuan that Li Qingyan saw when he traveled to Nanjing in modern times.
The size can accommodate one person. Two brick brackets are placed on the left and right brick walls so that two layers of wooden boards can be placed on them. There is a certain distance between the wooden boards and the wooden boards. Like the Guozijian examination, only one day is required. Therefore, the upper layer The wooden board is used instead of the desk table, and the lower wooden board is used as a bench. However, if it is an imperial examination, the two-layer wooden board has the same effect. Make a bed for candidates to sleep and rest.
Li Qingyan measured it about Moby. The two wooden boards were joined together, and the length was only a little over a meter away. If you really sleep here, you can’t even straighten your feet. It’s very uncomfortable to think about it.
Li Qingyan couldn’t help but be grateful that the Korean exam only took one day.
Li Qingyan looked at the wooden board, although she looked at the dark ground, she couldn’t see whether it was clean, but she still wiped it, who was a little bit hygienic.
Sure enough, she wiped out a ball of jet black.
However, after Haosheng wiped it, Li Qingyan felt that this small house was not so uncomfortable to look at.
However, when she sat down and turned around, she met a pair of complicated eyes.
It’s Liu Jin.
A trace of surprise passed through Li Qingyan’s heart.
Coincidentally, Liu Jin was actually assigned to the house opposite Li Qingyan.
Since Liu Jin gave a ruthless talk at the Nan’an County Prince’s Mansion last time, the whole person has disappeared, and there is no news.
He is not seen in places like restaurants, casinos and so on.
Everyone is thinking, Liu Jin is really ready to fight hard.
Regarding this, Li Qingyan now believes it very much.
Because, Liu Jin in front of her was obviously thinner than last time, the cheekbones on her face were very obvious, and the blackness under her eyebrows was worse than her second cousin who was the most diligent.
It is conceivable that Liu Jin made hard work.
Liu Jin, who was opposite Li Qingyan, also did not expect that he and Li Qingyan would be on the opposite side. His thoughts about this man who outperformed him in the “pot-throwing skill” he was proud of were particularly complicated.
Both resent and admire.
Angry, he actually lost to Li Qingyan.
Admire, there really is a genius in the world.
And this genius also pityed him.
Ridiculous mercy.
In a daze, Liu Jin seemed to have returned to the scene at the Nan’an County Prince’s Mansion that day, full of shame.
Therefore, it was impulsive at that time that I decided to learn from this man’s pride and compete again.
Of course, no one is optimistic about him, or even himself when he is sober.
However, since Liu Jin’s ruthless words are released, he will go all out, even if he knows that it will be a losing end.
As a man, he is standing upright, and it is difficult to chase after a word.
The big deal is just being reduced to a laughing stock.
At this moment, Liu Jin couldn’t help but glance at his parents and brothers at home. They were not optimistic at all.
For some reason, there was a faint sadness in my heart.
The big deal… is just a laughing stock.
Liu Jin turned his head, unwilling to see Li Qingyan who affected his mood again.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a sound of knocking on a wooden board, which came from Li Qingyan.
After entering the Gongyuan examination room, he was not allowed to speak, but before the examination began, he made a small noise. If it was not a big influence, the officials who patrolled the examination would not care.
Obviously, Li Qingyan wanted to say something to Liu Jin before knocking on the board.
Liu Jin didn’t want to talk to Li Qingyan, who knows what ridicule he would suffer again, but the sound of the sound was annoying to listen to. Finally, Liu Jin still looked at Li Qingyan angrily, and saw that she was not allowed to speak in the Gongyuan examination room. What else do you want to say.
Li Qingyan was still knocking on the board to get Liu Jin’s attention. Unexpectedly, Liu Jin suddenly looked up impatiently, but Li Qingyan was taken aback and almost missed his hand.
Liu Jinyang raised his chin, meaning to let Li Qingyan speak quickly and let go of farts.
Li Qingyan’s other hand hidden under the wooden board unconsciously scratched the sleeve of her shirt, her eyes flashing with embarrassment.
But Li Qingyan’s delay in speaking made Liu Jin’s eyes more impatient.
Seeing this, Li Qingyan still mustered up the courage to take away the hand that hit the wooden board.
Make a fist, facing upwards, then facing downwards fiercely.
Coupled with the wide-open eyes and slightly bulging cheeks, it is obvious that this is a gesture of “cheering and cheering”.
Then, Li Qingyan Chong, who was obviously stuck for a while, nodded for a moment, and then began to sort out his pen and inkstone.
Liu Jin’s mind became more complicated.
Even his family was not optimistic about him, and received encouragement from opponents.
Liu Jin hummed heavily, forcing his eyes to show disdain.
But I don’t know why, the figure of Li Qingyan cheering him up has been lingering in his mind.
This rumored arrogant genius does not seem to be that annoying.
Gently, Liu Jin turned away from Li Qingyan’s face, and a faint smile appeared.
——
The content of the imperial examination is similar to that of the imperial examination.
There were “poems” in the previous dynasties, but the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty was extremely bad at writing poems, and looked down upon those talented people who used poetry to discuss their talents. Isn’t it a genius who is not good at poetry?
In addition, judging “poems” is extremely easy to be affected by the personal preferences of the chief examiner.
Therefore, since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, the subject of “Poetry and Fu” has been abolished in the content of the imperial examination.
Li Qingyan is very grateful to the unknown founding emperor for canceling the “poems”. You know, she is a modern person, how can she make poems?
I can recite at most “300 Tang Poems” for everyone.
However, if the fame of “Li Bai” and “Du Fu” attracts others’ admiration, Li Qingyan would not be too happy. After all, he used other people’s things for his own use, and the reputation he gained would be false.
The daunted Li Qingyan was ashamed of it.
But when it comes to the remaining four categories, it is not so easy to pass.
If divided by modern exams-
“Mo Yi” is a short answer question or an explanation of nouns around the Confucian classics. Generally, there are 30 to 50 questions.
“Tie Jing” is a bit similar to the current filling in the blanks and dictation. Generally, the examiner will take a line from a page of the scripture book, print it on the paper, and let the examinee write its context.
Policy questions are the more difficult of these four types. In modern times, they are argumentative essays. Based on questions about Confucian classics or current political issues raised by the examiner, I write a small article about my own understanding. composition.
“Jing Yi”, intercept a certain sentence in the Confucian classics, or certain sentences of the same theme, as a topic, let the examinees write small essays, similar to the modern “after reading”.
In the case of imperial examinations, all four categories must be tested, so it takes three days.
The wide range of examination questions not only requires candidates to study the Confucian classics to the extreme, but also requires candidates to learn well and pay attention to current political issues.
However, the Korean exams only use two types of randomly selected exams, so it only takes one day.
In fact, from the perspective of the imperial examination alone, we can see the foresight and foresight of the ancients in the examination.
As an educator, Li Qingyan, unconsciously began to analyze the inheritance and development of ancient examinations and modern examinations.
While analyzing, guessing at the same time, I don’t know which two types of exam content they will randomly find this time.
In fact, Li Qingyan doesn’t want to run into “policy questions”, especially in terms of current affairs. Regarding the direction of the court and the political situation, Li Qingyan has not figured out much when he first came here.
The original body has not joined the officialdom, so not much information is known.
Just when Li Qingyan analyzed the test paper secretly, the test paper she was thinking about had already been issued.
Unlike modern times, all test content will be on one paper.
In the Great Yan Dynasty, one category was completed first, and then the other category was tested after the papers were handed in.
The papers that Li Qingyan got first were exactly the type of “Tiejing”, that is, fill-in-the-blank questions and silent writing questions, which made Li Qingyan unconsciously show her face.
The original body itself has read the “Four Books” and “Five Classics”, and in addition to the hard work of Li Qingyan recently, she is still somewhat confident in the “Tiejing”.
After a short while, Li Qingyan’s test paper was already dark, and the inspectors around him kept nodding their heads.
He deserves to be the “No. 1 Talent in Shengjing”, and his answering speed is the best in the entire examination room.
For a while, several inspectors wanted to inspect the row of houses in Li Qingyan, wanting to see how Li Qingyan answered.
It’s a pity that they can’t move at will. In the end, the inspector from the row of houses in Li Qingyan walked towards Li Qingyan with a proud expression.
But the inspector was not good to show his care too much. It would be bad if it affected Li Qingyan’s performance. Therefore, he just stood at a distance that was not too far, swaying back and forth, and visually inspecting Li Qingyan’s answer.
But after all, the inspector still affected, but not Li Qingyan.
Since Li Qingyan picked up the pen, she started the mode of “not hearing things outside the window”.
On the contrary, Li Qingyan’s friends in the left and right quarters kept wiping the sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Friends from the left and right house:? ? ? I didn’t cheat? What does it mean that the inspector swayed back and forth with me? !
Examiner: Why do these stinky guys on the left, right, and left always wipe their sweat, huh, and look at them eagerly. It really delayed me from reading Li Qingyan.
Of course, for those Li Qingyan who didn’t know it, she was now like a “Wenquxing” possessed, and the writing became smoother. After a short while, her test paper was full of words.
The modern Li Qingyan is the examination room physique.
Although the anxiety before the test is extremely serious, once I pick up the pen, I am completely immersed in the world of test papers.
Therefore, Li Qingyan also has a nickname——
Test ba.
After finishing the last sentence, Li Qingyan put the pen aside, shakes the test paper with satisfaction, and after careful examination, he applies to the inspector to hand in the paper and prepares for the next test.
This look fell among the inspectors and couldn’t help but applaud.
Not to mention the excellent talents, the key thoughts are still cautious and steady.
These students don’t know it yet. In fact, the test has already begun since they stepped into the examination room.
These inspectors are also one of many examiners.
What they consider is the disposition of the students in the face of examinations.
Although there will be no specific scores for this item, the evaluations of the inspectors will also affect the impression of the students from the teaching officials of the Imperial College.
Moreover, because Li Qingyan turned in the paper early and became the first person to finish the “Tiejing” exam, the students in the two rows of houses near Li Qingyan were all stressed.
Suddenly, the sound of pen writing accelerated a lot.
Li Qingyan was waiting for the test paper for the second exam. She wondered if the first subject is “Tiejing”, this kind of subject with a low degree of difficulty, does it mean that this time the exam is not difficult?
But after Li Qingyan got the second examination paper, she realized that she was wrong.
Because, the second subject, obviously she didn’t want to meet—
“Inquiry”.
However, fortunately, it is not the current affairs of the exam, but the questions from the Confucian classics.
However, Li Qingyan’s face was not that good-looking. After finishing the “Tiejing” test, her confident face collapsed suddenly, even with a bit of entanglement and dignity.
After a long while, Li Qingyan took the test paper, but was unable to write it for a long time.
The inspector who has been paying attention to her had a long time and wondered. He just saw the topic this time. It is not too difficult and has a wide range of play. Why is Li Qingyan so slow to write?
Just when the inspector secretly wondered, Li Qingyan was stunned, her brows frowned suddenly, and her brows were condensed, as if confirming something.
But in the end, she suddenly dispersed, and then took a deep breath.
Pick up the pen and drop it.
Look, resolutely and resolutely.
After a while, Li Qingyan briefly sketched the final stroke.
Then suddenly he got up, quickly handed the test paper to the inspector, without looking back, strode out of the examination room.
It’s just that the back looks a little hurried for some reason.
The inspector scratched his head.
Strange, why didn’t Li Qingyan check this time?
