On the eighth day of the first month, the examiners entered to worship Confucius and other gods, and the process was very similar to the township test, so there is no need to repeat it.

Zhao Shouzheng was finally dragged out of the bed, and rushed to the Ministry of Rites to verify his identity and fill in the paper.

A full 4,500 candidates for the examination flocked to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites on this day. Those who came late had to queue up for a whole day, and almost as soon as they filled in the papers, they had to go to the Gongyuan to line up to enter the examination room.

But if you have the money, you don't even need to queue up. After completing the process directly through the back door, and when he came out of the Ministry of Rites, Second Master Zhao's consciousness had just sobered up......

When I got home from my busy work, it wasn't yet noon.

Zhao Hao asked him to try on the silver ratskin suit sent by the eldest princess again, and sure enough, it was neither fat nor thin, neither long nor short, it was completely compared to his size.

Then Wang Wuyang took his ancestor to familiarize himself with the exam box prepared for him.

When they were all done, the family had a light lunch.

During the banquet, Zhao Shouzheng found out that Zhao Hao had another apprentice.

When I gave money to meet, I couldn't help but sigh, now that there are more and more disciples under my son, it is becoming more and more difficult to remember them one by one.

But I don't worry about whether I will go bankrupt one day......

On a day like today, Zhao Hao strictly forbade chatting, and sent the candidates to go to bed after eating.

~~

On this day, the entire Zhao Mansion compound was quiet. Even coughing up and down had to be muffled, lest it affect the rest of the candidates.

After all, not everyone has the same sleepiness as Second Master Zhao.

When the bell and drum tower struck the drum twice, Zhao Hao personally called the six candidates up.

After they had washed up and had eaten more, they came to the front of the hall and kowtowed to Sage Kong.

Then they visited the black-faced grandfather together......

This scene made the corners of Wang Xijue's mouth, who came to send the exam, twitch for a while. The son of this dynasty worships the emperor of the previous dynasty, what kind of operation is this?

In the autumn, it was only the Zhao family who worshipped themselves, and this time the disciples also worshipped.

It can be seen that there is a flattering elder brother, what kind of atmosphere will be brought to the door......

In the end, the disciples worshipped the Master.

Zhao Hao personally gave each of them a big hat, tightly tied the hat band, and said again: "It won't fall to the ground." ”

The six candidates, accompanied by the scholar and the man of Caijiaxiang, rushed to the Gongyuan in the stars and the moon.

~~

According to the Five Elements Feng Shui, the southeast is the direction of 'purple qi coming from the east'. And the reader is the hope of the prosperity of the world.

Therefore, all the tribute houses were in the southeast corner of the city. This is the case in Nanjing, and Beijing is no exception – the Shuntian Gongyuan is located in Mingshifang in the southeast corner of the inner city, less than a mile from Chunsong Hutong.

When the elder brother chose a house, he deliberately chose Chunsong Hutong, which is not far from Gongyuan.

Learning from the lesson of the traffic jam during the township test, Zhao Hao did not prepare a sedan car this time, but formed a commando team with the guards of Caijiaxiang, and the scholars and servants of the disciples, escorting the six candidates on foot.

Sure enough, as soon as the group arrived at the Zongpu Hutong, they saw the sedan car being sent to the test on the road in front of them, which was blocked.

Irritable shouts and shouts resounded in the night sky.

"Rush!"

Gao Wu gave an order, and eight Caijiaxiang men formed arrows and wedged themselves into the crowd. When he arrived, he knocked those rabble, such as family members, servants, sons, and relatives, into a crooked and forced a way.

Yu Shensi, Wang Xijue and others protected the six lifters and Zhao Hao in the center, and followed the men of Caijiaxiang to continue to advance and advance......

As a result, it only took a cup of tea to complete the journey that others might not be able to move over in an hour, and arrived at the gate with the ink plaque of 'Shuntian Gongyuan'.

At this point, the people who sent the test had to stop.

The scholars handed over the test boxes to their respective masters.

Zhao Hao, Wang Xijue and others waved their hands and watched the six candidates enter the gate, pass through the big archway of 'Tiankai Wenyun', and walk towards the direction of the second gate.

"If it weren't for the younger brother entering the field, the foolish brother should be in it now." Wang Xijue looked at the brightly lit Mingyuan Tower, and said with a yearning expression:

"I heard that the examiners are inside, eating and drinking every day, bragging and chatting, and they don't have to spend their own money, so don't be too happy."

"You're outside, you can eat, drink, brag and chat?" Zhao Hao smiled: "I think you are envious of Shen Zhuangyuan to be a real estate teacher, right?" ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Xijue laughed and said: "If you see through it, you don't say it, this is what Ru Mo often taught me." ”

The two were talking and laughing and were about to leave, when they saw that Wu Kangyuan was also escorted by his uncle and came to the tribute courtyard early.

"Hurry up, hurry up, and catch up with the same search." Wang Xijue saw Wu Kangyuan in the Zhao Mansion, so he joked about it. "I heard that there is a new search officer this year, but I have to let him fiddle with it."

Wu Kangyuan didn't feel anything when he heard it, but Yu Shensi, who was standing beside Zhao Hao, couldn't help biting the corner of his clothes.

And a special inspector? It's horrible......

"You don't come to this set." Wu Shilai scolded with a smile: "It has affected my nephew's performance, and it will make you look good in the future." ”

Zhao Hao also smiled and joked with Wu Kangyuan: "Look, this chef is with you all the way, and he likes to see future generations suffer." ”

"Hey, retribution." Wu Kangyuan also remembered his schadenfreude when he was in the autumn of last year. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he didn't have the face to settle accounts with Wang Xijue, so he went in with the test basket.

Wu Shi came to see Zhao Hao and Wang Xijue, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to my place and sit down, save yourself a person and wait." ”

"Very good, very good, every time I take my brother's exam, I am more anxious than him outside." Wang Xijue replied with a smile.

"I'm six times yours." Zhao Hao patted Wang Xijue's shoulder.

"Hey, counting his brother, don't you have five children in your family?" Wu Shilai has never seen Jin Xuezeng.

"Hey, no way. Before the exam, there was a child from Zhejiang who knelt outside my house for eight days......"

Zhao Hao put his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed: "If you don't accept him, he doesn't even plan to enter the Tribute Academy." ”

"Hahahaha!" Wu Shilai and Wang Xijue smiled and leaned back, and the former pointed at Zhao Hao and said:

"It must be some kind of deception that this guy has done again!"

"Well, I think it's pretty much the same." Wang Xijue thought deeply and said: "Fortunately, the spring festival is advanced to February, if it is in March like before, I am afraid that the corner of this examiner will be pried by him alone." ”

"That's what I'm saying, my science has a very high threshold, like you two, begging me not to accept it." Zhao Hao put his hands behind his back, looking disdainful.

"If this son has no class, half of my students will have to sit in this tribute courtyard."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Taking advantage of Wang Xijue's efforts to run over and greet an official who sent him to the exam, Wu Shilai suddenly whispered to Zhao Hao:

"Don't have too high hopes for this subject, fortunately, you can pass the test, and there will be a palace test ...... later."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao sighed in his heart, frowned, and said, "What does that little pavilion elder mean again?" ”

"Hehe, that's not clear......"

Wu Shilai smiled vaguely, almost acquiescing.

Zhao Hao was angry from his heart!

Okay, you Xu Fan, I wanted to make a fool of myself in public last time...... It's just that last time, my son disturbed your father's scene, so I didn't settle this account with you.

It's only been a few days, and you're actually attacking my father and my apprentice again?

If you don't do it, you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes? My Zhao Gongzi has prophetic eyes!
