After they sat down, Shen Cui also activated the new function in the academy system.
This is an upgraded function after Shen Aoshuang joined and the academy was upgraded to level 5. In the past, Shen Cui could call up the Q-version figurines of students one by one, but now she can see all the students on the entire screen.
Moreover, unlike the frequency-separated aggregation of surveillance in later generations, the place where the teenagers are located is integrated into a complete picture.
Just like in their room at this moment, there are small squares on the screen, Mu Erpang is in the upper left corner, Wei Shu is in the middle, Wei Xi is in the upper right corner, Cui Fei is in the lower left corner, Chen Aoshuang and Mei Ruochu are leaning close, both in the lower right corner.
However, the people in other grids on the screen were not Cuiwei students, so they were just blank and empty, and Chen Cui could not observe them.
But this is also good, because each little person is only the size of a thumb in front of Shen Cui. As long as they bend down to pick up the toilet, Shen Cui will directly ask the system to help mosaic them, and there is no need to worry about exposing their privacy.
Speaking of which, Shen Cui had to complain that the system actually charged for helping to mosaic, charging 10 points per person for one exam, and a provincial examination cost Shen Cui 60 points.
Normally it wouldn't be a problem, after all, the academy has a stable income of 90 points every day. Now she has only 100 or 200 points left in her pocket in order to buy equipment for the young men. Now she is asked to pay 60 shopping points. Isn't that the same as cutting her losses?
But the money must be spent, especially since this is the first time that the students are taking the same exam. She cannot afford it if anything goes wrong with any of them.
At this time, there was still more than half a day before the second day of the exam. Seeing that everyone was sitting in their examination seats safely, Chen Cui turned around and checked Wei Xi's physical condition.
In fact, until she knew about the existence of [Marrow Cleansing Pill], Chen Cui had always believed that Wei Xi's body had been well enough by her, and he only felt unwell occasionally.
Now she knew that the laws of the plane were still affecting them. In the original book, Wei Xi fell ill after taking this exam and died soon after, so she had to worry about it.
Sure enough, Wei Xi's physical condition had not declined at this time, but his mood value was much lower than usual. He was obviously feeling uncomfortable.
In the Gongyuan No. 1 room, entering such a cramped place at the beginning of August was a test for everyone.
Wei Xi had always felt that his health had been similar to that of an ordinary person in recent years, but today he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest for no reason.
After holding his chest for a while, he still didn't feel better, so he reached into the bag and took out a handkerchief bag - that was what Chen Cui had packed for them separately after she packed the same luggage for them, and she had also specifically told them that it contained different things prepared specifically for their individual circumstances.
Sure enough, Wei Xi found several small bottles inside with various labels on them, such as "chest tightness", "heart pain", "dizziness", etc. These were obviously the systemic medicines for common diseases that Chen Cui had prepared for him.
He took the small bottle labeled "chest tightness", opened it, poured out a pill, and put it in his mouth.
The physical discomfort gradually subsided, Wei Xi's mood value returned to normal, and Shen Cui breathed a sigh of relief.
She took another closer look at Wei Shu.
Wei Shu's values in all aspects did not drop, but his mood value... seemed a bit too high!
Numbers don't lie. At this moment, Wei Shu in the room was indeed a little nervous like everyone else, but he was more excited.
For three years, he had only been experiencing it in the simulation room. Finally, it was time for actual practice again!
Chen Cui was both amused and speechless. In the entire academy, Wei Shu was the only one who insisted on reporting to the simulation room every few days over the past few years.
So much so that when the final moment came, he actually became excited?
This state was naturally not right, and Wei Shu knew it himself, so he took out his own small package, which did not contain any commonly used medicines, but some incense to calm the mind.
After lighting the fire with the tinder, Wei Shu's mood returned to normal.
Shen Cui then went to see Cui Fei - he had lost so much weight since getting married that he still weighed 75kg.
Although this weight will no longer affect his health, his figure is still broad-shouldered and strong, which makes him very conspicuous among the scholars. The most intuitive manifestation is that his Q-version figurine almost fills up the "grid".
Looking at him curled up, Shen Cui felt sorry for him.
However, Cui Fei himself seemed to accept it well. At this moment, he was just thankful in the room that he had lost half his body weight in the past three years. Unlike the last time he came to take the exam, he was stuck in the room and took the exam for three days lying sideways. Even lying down to rest became a luxury. When he left the examination room, half of his body was numb and he had no feeling.
As for Shen Aoshuang, Shen Cui watched him for a long time and found that he was sitting there motionless, so she thought he was asleep.
Later, I saw him take out a fan to fan himself, and then I realized that he was not sleeping, but just in meditation.
This was a habit he had before entering Cuiwei - because his five senses were far inferior to those of ordinary people, he usually pretended to be indifferent, arrogant, and insolent, and did not move much.
Finally, only Mei Ruochu and Mu Erpang were left.
Mu Erpang was a hexagonal warrior whose numerical values were only slightly inferior to Mu Yunchuan's in all aspects. At this moment, none of his numerical values changed. He just put two wooden boards together, then found a comfortable position to lie down and closed his eyes to rest.
As soon as she saw him like this, Shen Cui knew that he was bored again and was memorizing the lessons in his head.
Finally, Mei Ruochu’s stats also did not change, but he had put on the face towel.
That was the special face towel that Shen Cui bought in the system, which could block most odors. Mu Erpang told her after taking the provincial examination that some people secretly relieved themselves in their examination seats in order to avoid being labeled as having done something stupid.
All the candidates for the provincial examination this time were scholars, and the imperial court was quite considerate of them by placing toilets in their rooms. There is no need to be sneaky to solve this problem, but the smell in the cell will definitely get worse.
That’s why Shen Cui prepared this for everyone.
I didn't expect that Mei Ruochu would use it after only entering the venue for half a day. I guess it was the examinee near him who started...
Shen Cui silently pitied him, but this kind of problem was naturally not a big deal for the battle-hardened Mei Ruochu, and his mood value was still not affected at all.
After Shen Cui made sure that all of her students were in a very stable condition, the sky outside also darkened.
Chen Cui had been sitting with them for a whole day, so she stretched and stood up, then prepared a simple dinner and ate it with Lao Buyu.
After dinner, Lao Buyu felt a little restless and had nothing to sit around, so he simply went out for a walk.
Shen Cui took the needle and thread back to the house, and then watched the movements of the teenagers.
She watched them eat fried rice or steamed buns, and finally put on earplugs and went to bed in their clothes in preparation for the real exam the next day.
Seeing that they had all fallen asleep, Chen Cui stopped what she was doing and took a rest.
Early in the morning on August 9th, the test papers were distributed in the Imperial Examination Hall.
Isn’t it said that the young men in Cuiwei are as close as one person?
Although their expressions were different while waiting for the exam, after getting the papers, their movements were extremely uniform and they all started counting the papers.
Their movements are extremely skillful, just like the money counters counting banknotes in later generations, and their Q-version figurines make them look particularly cute and lovable.
After counting, they also started writing the header, which is the column of name, native place, age, facial features, and names of ancestors for three generations.
When they were almost done filling out the forms, they put down their pens together and began marking the papers.
Chen Cui was extremely worried, so she enlarged the figure of Mu Erpang and looked at the paper from his perspective.
There were no questions like "reading the meaning of scriptures" and "reciting the original book contents" in the provincial examination papers. After all, the candidates were all scholars who had passed the imperial examinations. These three types of questions were just free points for them and could not test their true level at all.
So this paper starts with nine questions on the meaning of scriptures.
This is the first type of question in the first round, so it is not very difficult.
The first question is - 'Wealth enriches the house, virtue enriches the body, and a broad mind makes the body fat. Therefore, a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions.'
The semi-illiterate Shen Cui took a glance and vaguely remembered that this sentence came from "The Great Learning". After thinking about it, Shen Cui simply got up and went to the classroom to get the book to flip through it, and she really found it.
She was holding Lao Buyu's book, on which there were Lao Buyu's comments - wealth can decorate a house, morality can improve the body and mind, a broad mind can make a person look peaceful and comfortable physically and mentally, so a gentleman must be honest in his thoughts.
If she, a semi-illiterate person, could do this, let alone the teenagers, they all solved the questions very quickly.
She then broke the silence and they had already prepared a draft in their minds and started writing.
Chen Cui changed her perspective and found that the main themes of everyone's writing were similar, and no one deviated from the topic. However, her level was really limited, so she could hardly tell who wrote better.
Moreover, what she wanted to see at this moment was not the questions on the interpretation of the classics, but the plus version of Liu Xuezheng - what kind of poetry and prose questions would be asked by Shangshu Wang.
Unfortunately, the young men seemed to have made an agreement and only turned their papers to the scriptures, without looking at the last poem question.
It seems that everyone was worried that the poem topic given by Minister Wang was too difficult, which affected the performance in the beginning.
Chen Cui waited patiently, and then saw that Mei Ruochu had finished writing the nine questions on the meaning of the scriptures in half a day, so she enlarged his picture a little and looked at the titles of the poems.
There are three poetry questions in total.
The first question is, 'Green shade brings the lingering spring'.
The second question is 'Bianjuan'.
The third question is, 'Blowing Wan'.
