Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 255: County Examination 1

Jiang Youzhen pretended to be calm, put on his clothes and straightened his attire, and the two of them just woke up.

She immediately looked at them and found that they did not notice anything unusual, but nodded and urged Jiang Youzhen to get out of the way quickly.

Jiang Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the system was still reliable at critical moments.

There were many lanterns hanging in the yard, making it quite bright.

Jiang Youzhen looked around the courtyard. There were three halls on the north side, with an aisle in the middle. They were standing in the aisle. On the west side at the top were the examiners' seats, and they faced east to call the roll.

"Number 360, Wen Ruyu!" A voice of a guarantor came from the hall, and Wen Ruyu walked in immediately.

Soon it was Jiang Youzhen's turn. After hearing the voice of the examiner, Jiang Youzhen walked in and saw Master Jiang standing not far from the chief examiner.

Only after Mr. Jiang confirmed that it was Jiang Youzhen himself did Jiang Youzhen receive the test paper.

[Congratulations to the host for completing one of the main tasks and signing in at the county examination room. The sign-in reward is "Go Master Level Strategy", first-time impression, and enlightenment. Please keep up the good work, host! ]

Master-level strategy? Jiang Youzhen played against Wen Ruyu two days ago and was able to last half an hour without losing, which was considered rapid progress.

I didn't expect that this master-level strategy would come out. If I play against Wen Ruyu again, won't I be able to defeat him completely?

"Tongzi! You said you had this good thing, why didn't you give it to me earlier? Otherwise, I wouldn't be embarrassed! Then as long as I use the strategy, will I be invincible?"

Jiang Youzhen felt happy when she thought of this. The plug-in was so powerful that she felt a little embarrassed.

[Host, don't think too much. There are also Grandmaster and God-level levels above. ]

Jiang Youzhen: ...When I am happiest, you always come out to pour cold water on me.

"Then what is the first level of initial impression?" Jiang Youzhen asked curiously.

[Even if it is a stranger who meets for the first time, as long as they see the host, they will have a good impression of the host. However, because it is level one, the degree of favorability depends on the relationship between the host and the other party.]

"What does it mean? A charmer? If I reach level five or six, does that mean everyone in the world will love me and work for me?" Jiang Youzhen's eyes lit up immediately. The rewards from the system were becoming more and more to her liking.

[You're overthinking it again. It's just the initial favorability. The system has just explained that it's related to your relationship with the other party and is only suitable for the first meeting. The subsequent favorability will depend on the host's own maintenance.]

"Then what you said is a bit useless! Once I become a mortal enemy or something, should the other party kill me or not? Then what's the point of this initial favorability?"

[If you don't want it, the system can temporarily take it back. ]

"That's wishful thinking! Never mind. As long as there is no conflict of interest, the initial favorability will still be of some use." Something is better than nothing, Jiang Youzhen sighed.

The final enlightenment is of the same type as the previous reward of inspiration. Now the system is developing in the direction of the imperial examination, so this one is related to learning.

However, the flow of inspiration is already impressive, and I don't know what effect this sudden enlightenment will have.

Jiang Youzhen couldn't wait to know the effect. After using it, he immediately confirmed that his mind was clear and his five senses were very sharp. Hey! I have a brain again. This feeling is so good.

Glancing ahead, she could clearly see the number plate of each seat in the dim light.

Wow! I didn't expect that growing a brain can also improve eyesight. My mom doesn't have to worry about me becoming nearsighted anymore.

Holding the rolled-up test paper and taking a look at the seat number, Jiang Youzhen realized that it was different from the number she had entered before. It was probably randomly rearranged later.

Jialiu? Jiang Youzhen soon saw his seat in the front.

I looked around but didn't see Wen Ruyu. It seemed that they were not in the same area.

I carried the exam basket and headed to my seat. It was a small seat that was difficult to turn around in. It was separated by brick walls on three sides, and only the front was open. There was a wooden board across the middle, which was used for the exam.

The exams would be collected at night, so there was no need to prepare bedding. Jiang Youzhen put down the exam basket and tore a piece of cloth from his inner clothes to start wiping.

It wasn't that she didn't want to bring a handkerchief. The examination hall had a clear rule that except for clothes and shoes, no other paper or cloth was allowed to be brought in, in order to prevent cheating.

Jiang Youzhen arranged his four treasures of the study and then began to grind ink. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, so this cannot be sloppy.

In ancient times, it was very important to have good handwriting for the imperial examination, which was scored on the paper. As long as you made no mistakes in the first round and had good handwriting, you could pass it smoothly.

The first impression that examiners have of you is that your papers are neat and your handwriting is beautiful, so that they will have the patience to read on. Otherwise, when they read hundreds of papers a day, they will be annoyed when they see those with bad handwriting.

Master Jiang had repeatedly told Jiang Youzhen that she must practice calligraphy. However, Jiang Youzhen had a cheat, and the system rewarded her for reaching the highest level of small regular script. She might not be as good at other fonts, but she was very confident in regular script.

The first test is the main test, which is relatively easy to pass as long as the text is fluent, the paper is neat and the handwriting is beautiful.

The content of this exam is two essays from the Four Books, each of which must not be less than 300 words and not more than 700 words.

The Four Books here are actually the Eight-part Essay that Jiang Youzhen had heard of in his previous life, but the one here is not so strict.

At the end of last year, Jiang Youzhen focused most of his energy on the Four Books. It is not easy to write an outstanding article and to amaze people by quoting from classics within the limited few hundred words.

Two papers with red horizontal and vertical lines, plus six sheets of blank draft paper, are more than enough.

First fill in your seat number, name, and admission ticket number outside the red line.

Later, there will be yamen runners patrolling the field with signboards, and the test questions will be displayed back and forth. Jiang Youzhen's position is at the front, which is an advantage. She will start from here later, and she will see the test questions faster than others.

After confirming that everything was filled out correctly, Jiang Youzhen saw the yamen runner coming with a whiteboard with the exam questions.

The man was still in the first position, and Jiang Youzhen saw the questions from afar. After quickly writing down two questions, Jiang Youzhen confirmed again and again that he had remembered them correctly before he started writing.

"He who governs with benevolence shall be king, and no one can stop him."

This is the first question. Jiang Youzhen immediately knew that it was from "Mencius: Liang Hui Wang Chapter and Verses". The full sentence is "The land does not change, the people do not change, and the king practices benevolent government. No one can stop him."

Because the test paper cannot be altered, if you make a mistake, you will basically miss the next test. Therefore, even though Jiang Youzhen was already full of ideas, he did not dare to be careless and just wrote the answer on the draft paper.

The first step is to "break the topic", point out the key points of the topic and explain the meaning of the topic. You can only use two sentences, and more is wrong.

The meaning of this question is that if a monarch can implement benevolent politics, no one can stop him from unifying the world.
