Chapter 946 There is a way
Gu Dexing and others came five days in advance. After a night's rest, they began to study their books the next day. If they didn't understand something, they asked Shang Xiucai for advice.
Shang Xiucai has been coming to the Gu family every day recently, but instead of studying with Gu Jinan and the others all the time, he mostly acts as a temporary teacher for Brother Cheng and teaches him his homework.
Shang Xiucai did this because, firstly, there were people here, and if Gu Jinan and the others didn't understand something, they could find someone to ask immediately; secondly, he knew that the students were afraid of the teacher, especially Gu Dexing, who was extremely nervous, so in order to make him relax, Shang Xiucai would not take the initiative to go to them, he would wait for them to come to him when they didn't understand.
Gu Dexing felt a lot more relaxed because of this.
Everyone also noticed Gu Dexing's nervousness. He had been suffering from insomnia for two days in a row, and the circles under his eyes were darker than black coal.
Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she grabbed him and asked: "What's the matter with you? Why don't you sleep at night? Do you want a wife? I told you to take the exam well. If you pass the exam, I will tell you that a rich lady will come back and be your wife." , why dont you listen? With such a rectification, you will be a fool if you can pass the exam."
After saying that, I felt it was unlucky, so I hurriedly said bah bah bah several times, and bowed to the east: "God, I was just talking nonsense. You, old man, please help Brother Xing pass the exam. He is already old and cannot pass the exam. If you can't talk about marriage, you will be laughed to death by the women in the village."
Gu Dexing didnt want to live when he heard this. What is the second aunt doing? He didn't miss his wife!
As expected, Mrs. Chen was scolded by Gu Dagui again: "Can you speak? If you can't speak, just shut up. You made Brother Xing almost lose his face."
Chen jumped up and yelled back: "You're yelling, aren't I worried? You are awesome, what do you think I should do? Can you seal his eyes and make him sleep?"
Gu Dafu could only advise them: "Stop arguing."
But Chen and Gu Dagui didn't listen. They were angry and rolled up their sleeves as if they were going to fight.
Gu Dexing became anxious and hurriedly stopped between them and said: "I'm fine, I'm just too nervous. I'm afraid I won't pass the exam, so I can't sleep."
He wanted to sleep too, but he really couldn't. Now his brain felt like mush and he was feeling dizzy.
"Huh? Is it because of this?" Chen and Gu Dagui were worried. If they couldn't sleep because they were too nervous, there was nothing they could do.
The third grandma glared at the couple and said, "You know how noisy you are, so get out of here and don't disturb the children here."
He added: "Xiaoyu knows how to prepare medicine. I'll go find her to prepare some tranquilizing medicine for Brother Xing. Brother Xing will definitely be able to fall asleep at night."
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly grabbed the third grandma's hand and said, "Hey, you still have a way. Let's go, my nephew-in-law will go with you to find Xiaoyu."
After hearing the purpose of the two people's visit, Gu Jinli said: "Brother Dexing is suffering from nervousness. Just taking tranquilizers will not help."
"What should we do? Hey, is my brother Xing destined not to be an official?" Mrs. Chen almost cried. After waiting for so many years, she saw that the ancestral graves at home were about to emit smoke. What if this time? If the green smoke doesn't come out and is extinguished with a pop, doesn't it mean that she can't be considered a talented aunt?
"Why are you howling? Xiaoyu must have another solution, listen to her." The third grandma hit Chen on the back to stop her from crying.
Gu Jinli said: "Besides taking medicine, there is indeed another way, which is to give up the time to study in the evening."
Mr. Chen is considered smart and knows the priorities. She immediately nodded and responded: "Now I want Brother Xing to be able to sleep. It doesn't matter if he is warm or not, and he can read at night."
Gu Jinli explained the method. It was actually very simple. He asked Gu Dexing to start physical training an hour after having dinner. After practicing for an hour, you will be so tired that you have no time to think about it, and you will be able to sleep at night. After Gu Jinan heard about it, he also took Qi Kangming and others to join him. Not to mention, they slept like dead pigs that night, but when they woke up the next day, they were very refreshed and in better condition than before. A lot.
After Gu Dexing had no time to think wildly, he could read the book. After his mind cleared up, the ideas of the article were clearer than before. The articles he wrote two days before the exam started were better than those he wrote before.
And they persisted like this until the night before the government examination started.
They got up at dawn on the ninth day of April. They were all very energetic. After worshiping their ancestors with the adults in the family, they ate enough noodles, packed their things, and took the family's mule cart to the ceremony room in Fucheng.
The Fucheng Ceremony House is located next to the Fucheng Yamen. It is a relatively quiet large house. Now the main street is full of people. They are all students holding torches, lanterns, driving mule carts or being surrounded by their families to take exams.
Those who can take the government examination are all candidates who have passed the county examination. The number of candidates from several counties gathered together is very impressive.
Starting from the government examination, the rules of the examination room have changed. Although there are still three examinations like the county examination, you are not allowed to leave the ceremony room during these three days. You must wait until April 11th to check in and enter the examination room at dawn on April 9th. You can't leave until midnight in the afternoon.
This is done to save time, as there is no need to check the candidates every day, and the college and rural examinations will take several days and nights. It would be good to let the candidates know the hard work of the scientific examination from the beginning of the government examination.
Gu Jinli also came to see Gu Jinan and the others off, and explained: "Everything given to you by the government, whether it is for food or for use, must be inspected carefully. If the things given are too easy to carry and you cannot inspect them clearly, you would rather No. If you take the pills I gave you, you won't catch a cold even if you get caught in the rain these days. Don't be afraid if you get a bad number, just remember to smell your sleeves."
They couldn't just bring these things into the examination room, so she made a refreshing and odor-removing potion for them to sprinkle on the sleeves of their clothes.
The smell is very light, and you need to cover your nose to smell it, but the medicinal effect is very powerful. A few sniffs can make people clear their minds and not be disturbed by the odor.
Gu Jinan and the others nodded: "Well, we understand, don't worry."
Dong dong dong!
As he was talking, the drums in the ceremony room sounded.
The yamen officer heard the drums and began to shout: "Attention, all candidates, you will be entering the venue in half an hour. Prepare your guarantee documents and throw away unnecessary things. No entanglement is allowed. Those who entrap will be punished by the government." The Yamen judge the crime according to the law!"
He also reminded: "Entrapment is a serious crime, and in serious cases, it can lead to the death penalty!"
Dachu used heavy codes, and the imperial examination would divide the official positions of the noble families and the officials' children. Therefore, in order to pass the exams and make room for their own children, the court officials and the noble families added a lot of time to the imperial examinations. Punishment, every one of them can sentence you to death.
The candidates all knew this and hurriedly checked their clothes and sleeve pockets. Some people even took off their hair to check, and only started queuing after confirming that there was no entrapment.
Half an hour passed quickly. Gu Jinan and the others were at the front of the queue and entered the venue after waiting for another half an hour.
After entering the ceremony room, the body search started again like a county examination.
