    As the name suggests, the county examination is an examination held in the county.  It is conceivable that one county can provide examination venues for hundreds or even thousands of candidates.  Generally, when the exam is approaching, a temporary exam shed is set up.

    For some poorer counties, it is so difficult to build such a test shed, not to mention the lack of decoration and aesthetic feeling, and even the ground exudes the fragrance of soil The soil is dusty when it is sunny, and muddy when it rains  Unbearable because there is no money to build a roof.

    But this is not the worst.  The worst remote states and counties don't even have the most basic desks and chairs, so candidates need to bring their own.  But there were still many candidates from the countryside who took the exam, and there were no roads extending in all directions at this time. Many people had to cross mountains and mountains to come to the county to take the exam.

    So when they arrived in the county, they had to show their talents and try their best to borrow a set.  But how can there be so many tables and chairs in a small county?  If you can't borrow it, you have to settle for the next best thing, borrow a door panel or a cutting board, or even a coffin board, a wooden pier, etc., and then take a few bricks to enter the venue.

    At that time, divide the bricks into two piles, one pile for the chopping board, and one pile for the buttocks, and then just lie on it to answer the paper. If it rains just after, unfortunately, your ankles will sink into the mud What a special time  experience.

    However, for the wealthy Jiangnan, it is a different scene. Basically, there are specialized colleges here, which are usually used for county school teaching, and the county exam can accommodate thousands of people to take the exam at the same time, and the conditions are better than elsewhere.  Much better For example, the Kuaiji County School paved the huge courtyard with blue bricks, and placed clean pineapple tables and chairs, and even put up straw sheds on top of the tables and chairs, so that even if it rains  No need to interrupt the exam.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Silence and the two followed the crowd into Xueqian Street in the county. Now the candidates around him, regardless of age, have a cute title called "Tongsheng".  He saw a gray-haired, hunchbacked old man who looked about seventy or eighty years old, also wearing a white shirt and carrying a basket walking in.  In fact, he had seen him outside, but Shen Mo thought that the old man was sending his grandson to the exam.

    When the students gathered in front of the county school gate, they were divided into five teams by the officials in red uniforms and stood in front of the gate.

    I saw Magistrate Li wearing the Erliang Chaoguan on his head, wearing a red robe from Qingyuan, with a leather belt around his waist, a jade pendant hanging on the leather belt, and a large red and white silk belt on top of it.  The lower hood covers the knees, and the black-faced white-soled official boots stand majestically on the stone steps The court uniforms of Manchu officials are generally the same, the difference lies in the number of beams on the crown, the leather belt around the waist,  And the ribbon to hang the jade pendant.  For example, Li County Magistrate's two-beam crown, silver leather belt, glazed pendant, and three-color flower brocade ribbon with a magpie pattern all clearly indicate his identity as a seventh-rank official.

    After the candidates expired, the county magistrate Li began to speak. It was nothing more than preaching about Confucius and Mencius, then praising the emperor, and then announcing the exam session, and strict discipline in the exam room Except for the exam time and session, it was basically all nonsense  .

    The degree of freedom of the county examination is relatively large. The county magistrate decides whether to take five or four examinations. This time, County Magistrate Li chose four examinations.  Complex, the fourth session is called face-to-face complex, one day for each session, and one session every other day.

    However, as long as candidates pass the main exam, they don't need to take part in the 'Initial Complex' and 'Second Complex'. They only need to wait for the fourth interview five days later.  Those who failed the main exam had no choice but to take the first exam honestly. If they failed again, they could still take the "re-recommended" exam. If they didn't pass the exam, they had to wait for the next county exam.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    After the county lord finished nagging, Wufang scribes began to roll their names, calling everyone to come forward to verify their identity, and then put them in after a simple search.  One and a half.

    But that's it, without one or two hours, don't think about putting more than a thousand candidates in itit just happens to be suitable for the exam.

    ?As someone favored by the county magistrate, Shen Mo naturally didn't have to wait too long. After about seven or eight children entered, it was his turn.  The checking clerk just smiled at him, then gave him an answer sheet and said, "Let's go in and take the exam."

    Smiling silently and gratefully, he took the answer sheet into the examination room.  Although there is a serial number written on the test paper, it is not on the test table. At this time, the benefits of coming in first will be reflected - you can pick a good seat!

    Silence looked at the neat rows of desks and became worried. He didn't know where to sit.  Are you sitting in the front row?  No, although the question is clear there, it is too close to the edge of the thatched shed, and the sun is very strong at noon, and it will be even more troublesome if it rains!

    So sit in it?Not good.  The shed is a little low, the light inside is very bad, and the county test does not allow lighting, I am afraid it will be affected.  After pondering over and over again, he sat in the eighth row of the second row, 2816, auspicious date, clear view, good light, no sunlight, no rain, and fresh air, which is really rare  Good location.

    After sitting down silently, the candidates have not yet come in, so naturally they will not announce the topic.  He was a little bored for a while, so he had to look through his answer sheet In some poor states and counties, even this thing has to be prepared by oneself.  But no matter whether it is issued by the Yamen or prepared by yourself, the format is the same.

    There are eleven pages in total, and the first page is the cover. The county exam is not so strict, and the candidate's situation is written directly on the cover. There is no "fuzzy name" and no need to "transcribe". That's why County Magistrate Li said "  Keep your case first'.  Shen Mo saw that there was a number stamp on the cover, which read 'County Kao Jia Zi No. 107', and there was a line of small characters below it that read: 'Shen Mo, sixteen years old.  Slightly thin and slightly tall, with a fair face and beardless, good-looking.  Citizenship.  Great-grandfather Yannian, Zulu, father congratulations.  Wu Dui, the surety.  '

    Open the back cover, and the other ten pages are where you can answer the questions. Each page has 14 vertical lines, each line has 18 red boxes, and each box writes a word.  There are also a few pages of scratch paper.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    After all the candidates were seated, it was already broad daylight, and it happened to be the exam.

    County magistrate Li stopped talking too much, and after the yamen guard locked the door, he wrote down the topic of the main test on a blank horizontal scroll-composing a current essay and a test poem¡ª¡ª
