Liu Yaozhi walked into the Gongyuan, passed through the Yimen, passed through the examination room, and came straight to the public court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, an official in his fifties came to greet him, and this official was Wang Shizhen, the president of the township test. At present, Wang Shizhen, as the secretary of Dali Temple in Nanjing, is respectful, but has no real power, and is completely treated as a minister.

Wang Shizhen is the same examiner on the left and right, the official in charge, the official who seals the scroll and other internal curtain officials, and everyone salutes Liu Yao.

"Xiaguan has seen Liu Zhongcheng!" Wang Shizhen said.

Liu Yaozhi stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Fengzhou doesn't have to be polite, when this hospital went to Huguang Township for the test, Lord Ling Zun was the master of this hospital, and he said that this hospital would call him a brother!" ”

Wang Shizhen said: "Liu Zhongcheng's words are serious. ”

Liu Yaoyu nodded, looked around and said, "Are all the officials of the inner and outer curtains here?" ”

All the officials said, "It's here." ”

Liu Yao said: "Since this is the case, let's worship the Holy Master first, and please roll it out." ”

"Yes."

So Liu Yaozhi immediately planted incense and bowed down in front of the statue of Confucius in the public hall.

After three kowtows, Liu Yao recited: "Swear impartiality for the country, do not show favoritism, do not be invited, do not take bribes, and are arrested by the gods for this purpose." ”

At that moment, everyone knelt down with Liu Yaozhi and read it again.

After watching everyone finish reading, Liu Yao said: "Everyone should take their places, the candidates are about to enter." ”

At present, the entrance is still being searched in front of the Dragon Gate, and the Hou officials and scholars are shouted on the side.

Under the watchful eye of the prison officer, the officials and soldiers stood against the wall and were searched by the officers and soldiers.

The township test is even more stringent than the child test. It is not polite for the officers and soldiers to search and inspect, and if someone is found to be cheating, they will also be held accountable. All the candidates searched and checked, and they all seemed to have been ravaged. The cloak was disheveled, and the garments were disheveled.

Lin Yanchao has already been searched and inspected by the children's test, and he has long been used to it, even if everyone is like this, he has nothing to disagree with.

After the search, Lin Yanchao rearranged his clothes and test box. Step into the literary field.

The literary field is divided into two places, east and west, above is the Mingyuan Building, Mingyuan is taken from the university, cautious and chasing far, Mingde returns to the meaning of the thick.

During the examination, officials such as supervisors and inspectors came to the building to monitor. During the day, the flag is waved to warn, and the lights are raised at night to ask for help to prevent candidates from rioting and cheating. Three days before the start of the exam, as usual, there are monks who set up an altar on the Mingyuan Tower to beat Jiao for three days and nights. to pray for the upper realm.

Lin Yanchao was led into the examination number, and in the mouth of the predecessors of the imperial examination, the examination number is also good and bad, the worst is like a stinky number, and the rain number does not need to be mentioned.

Lin Yanchao has read other people's imperial examination notes, and those who failed to make the list all cried about themselves, and accidentally sat next to the stinky and rainy numbers. As a result, I failed in my exams.

In fact, there are so many unfortunate places where many people are just unwilling to be left behind. Just look around for the reason. Even if there is no stinky trumpet, rain trumpet, he will complain about the others, so as to maintain the little face of the reader.

When Lin Yanchao came to the examination room, he entered with the examination box, this is Lin Yanchao's battlefield today. After a while, the examination room will be locked up by officers and soldiers, and only small and big ones will be allowed to be released.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think that when Lin Chengyi chatted, he said that there was a year of imperial examination. It was also the old story of the fire that broke out in the Gongyuan, and the scholars were locked in the Gongyuan and could not come out, and they were burned alive. Therefore, Lin Yanchao saw several large water tanks full of water next to the road when he came, which should be just in case of an accident.

Lin Yanchao first looked at the examination room, the roof was in disrepair, and some rain came in, but it was not serious.

In the eyes of others, it is considered a rain horn.

At this time, a gentleman directly opposite him muttered and complained: "Damn it, how did you get the rain number?" Why am I carrying it like this today? ”

"I've been studying hard for ten years, and I ran into a rain horn!"

"Alas, it will take another three years."

"Why, why is it so unfair to me? Why is that? ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, how could he meet a complaining person and spread the existence of negative energy.

Lin Yanchao opened the test box and set it up with the oilcloth prepared earlier, so that the rain could not leak in. Then Lin Yanchao hung a curtain on the door of the pulp and paper hole to block the wind, and only a vent was exposed on the side to keep the air circulating.

In order to be prepared, Lin Yanchao stretched out the oil-paper umbrella and put it on the top of the board on which he wrote the paper during the exam, so that everything was ready, and what rain number did not rain in the slightest, it was not in Lin Yanchao's eyes.

After preparing these, the genius Fang brightened up a little, but the temperature was a little colder.

Lin Yanchao coughed a few times, thinking that it was coldest in the morning and evening, and it was better at noon, so I divided the charcoal into two points in the morning and evening, so that the body would be warmer, so as not to get worse with the cold.

So Lin Yanchao put the charcoal into the charcoal basin and lit it, and put the slightly wet clothes and boots on the charcoal fire and roasted them.

The warm charcoal fire made Lin Yanchao's body feel comfortable for a while, and the strange and uncomfortable humidity in the examination room was removed by a few points, and even the temperature rose a little.

After the examination room was warm, Lin Yanchao moved the charcoal basin to the vent, in case burning charcoal in the closed examination room caused carbon monoxide poisoning and death, it would become a big joke.

After his body was warm, Lin Yanchao was a little hungry, he only ate a little at home in the morning, and he had to take the test for a day, so it was better to eat some hot food.

Lin Yanchao took out the food prepared by Lin Qianqian in the examination box, including steamed buns, mille-feuille cakes, boiled eggs, meat swallows, a pot of water, and a small and delicate copper pot.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh, Lin Qianqian was really too delicate.

So Lin Yanchao took a small copper pot and poured water, put the meat swallow in it, and put it on the charcoal fire to burn.

After a while, the water in the small copper pot boiled, and Lin Yanchao cracked the boiled eggs, peeled them and threw them into the small copper pot.

When it was almost over, Lin Yanchao put the small copper pot on the number, and ate the hot meat swallow with chopsticks. For the Min people, this meat swallow is definitely more loved than the flat meat that swept the world in later generations, as well as the wontons in the north.

A few pieces of meat swallow swallow belly, then take a bite of the white greasy egg skin, the soft and fragrant egg yolk inside, slightly hot mouth, and then drink a mouthful of hot soup. Lin Yanchao's forehead was slightly sweating, his whole body was comfortable, and he felt a little better from the cold.

At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, and more and more candidates entered the room, and many people kept complaining because of the poor examination room.

And Lin Yanchao's examination room was as warm as spring, and the oilcloth above his head was dripping, but there was no leakage. Lin Yanchao was holding a chopstick in his hand at the moment and raising two steamed buns, roasting them there through the charcoal fire.

Lin Yanchao looked at the slightly charred and blackened steamed buns, and read the classic lines of a certain drama with taste.

"Grilled chicken wings, my favorite."

In the examination room opposite Lin Yanchao, the soldier who complained about being in the rain number, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, buried his head and said: "I'm in the rain number, forget it, there is a fool on the other side, there is no way to take this exam." I want to change my number! I want to change my number! ”

But the gentleman's pleas were ignored.

As the scholar finished entering, the cloud board was knocked up, and Lin Yanchao finished eating the last piece of steamed bun.

Eat and drink to your heart's content, and now it's time for the full and warm thoughts. (To be continued.) )
