The carriage waiting at the entrance of the alley belonged to Huang Biyou.

In addition to Huang Biyou, there was also a coachman, he saw Lin Yanchao and said, "Come up quickly." ”

Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou boarded the car together.

The carriage and horse shook the reins, the wheels turned, and several people rushed to the examination room together. In the car, Lin Yanshou complained that he didn't eat soft-boiled eggs, and the others were not in the mood to comfort him, so they didn't speak.

The car kept bumping, turning the alley, martial law was imposed in front of the Fuyuan Gate, and the carriage went around in a circle, inserting from the alley to the front of the South Gate Street.

Lin Yanchao lifted the curtain of the car, but saw that the street was already full of carriages, and each carriage carried a lantern in front of it, dotted with stars, and the orange lights converged into a line on the south street, like a long dragon winding along.

"My God, look at this posture, the carriages and horses of the entire provincial capital are coming." Hou Zhongshu looked along the crack in the window and said.

"Don't be noisy, be quiet." Zhang Haoyuan interrupted him. Hou Zhongshu snorted, don't look over.

From the South Gate Street, cross the Antai Bridge carriage and turn left, that is, the Houguan County Ya and the County School Palace are located.

At this time, it was almost the fifth watch, the waning moon in the south was heavy, the sky was about to be bright, the carriage was mighty and gathered near the examination shed of the school palace, although the lights in front of the carriage and horses were faint, but gathered together, but people couldn't open their eyes.

Lin Yanchao jumped out of the carriage, and several people followed him.

Looking at the bustle in front of the examination booth, there are adults in their thirties and forties, as well as children in their teens with childish faces, such as Lin Yanchao, fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers, but everywhere, but like the legendary white-haired old candidates did not see.

The officials on the side came over and shouted, "Quickly drive the carriage to the side, don't get in the way." You go over there and stand in a row of fifty people. ”

Before Lin Yanchao could speak, Lin Yanshou said: "Why should I line up, my father is Link." I'm going to be in the exam room first! ”

Lin Yanshou's voice was very loud, which made the soldiers in line next to him look over. Lin Yanchao, Zhang Haoyuan and others hurriedly covered their faces with their sleeves, stayed away from the three steps, and posed as if they had nothing to do with this person.

The official also smiled and said: "When is it, this is the provincial capital." Under the rule of Lord Futai, you are the son of the master of Futai, and you have to line up for me. ”

Hearing what the official said, the scholars on the side were laughing, and Lin Yanchao hurriedly pulled Lin Yanshou aside and said, "Brother, if you talk nonsense again, I will go back and complain to grandpa." "Lin Yanshou's family is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of Lin Gao, listening to Lin Yanchao's threat. Suddenly honest.

Everyone thought that Lin Yanchao was the appearance of his brother. The children below all stood together according to the five-person knot, or their respective social studies classmates.

At present, the candidates of two or three thousand people were divided into fifty people and fifty people standing in a row. The front search is searched to check whether there is entrainment or the like.

The candidates who have been inspected have walked through the main entrance of the examination shed one after another, and the main entrance of the examination shed is also called the dragon gate. The fish leaps over the dragon gate, a very appropriate word, and the reader will not be admitted. It is called the gantry point, as the name suggests. It's just a head hitting the door in the face.

Lin Yanchao and a few people waited patiently, it was their turn to enter, and there were some times.

The scholars on the side also started talking, and one said, "Have you heard?" Yesterday, when I passed the Chengnan Nanhe Bridge, I saw the sandbar covering the water, do you know? This is called Shahekewa. ”

"What's the name of this?"

"You don't know that. Therefore, the old legend says that Shahe can be involved in a few decades, if it is encountered once, it is not Fuzhou to be the champion, or someone is going to be the prime minister. ”

"I see. We're here today to take the county exam. Hey, that's a coincidence. I wonder which of these 3,000 candidates will be the champion in the future? ”

"I don't know, anyway, if the top ten in the county come out, everyone will go and make a good fate, maybe they will use it in the future."

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming to us."

When the soldiers in the front row walked to the dragon gate to search, Lin Yanchao's scholars also gathered together.

It's really a place in life where you don't meet, and when it's time for the exam, you actually meet an acquaintance.

"Isn't this Brother Lin? Fortunately, fortunately. ”

Lin Yanchao looked at the other party and asked knowingly: "Please forgive me for being clumsy, are you?" ”

The other party suddenly said with an annoyed face: "Brother Lin, your memory has to be long, it is Zhou Zongcheng, you have to recognize it a few times before you can remember it." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a sigh: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, why Brother Zhou, you also have to come to the county exam?" ”

Zhou Zongcheng snorted and said: "I should ask you this, you have only been reading the Four Books and Five Classics for a year, so you dare to come to the exam?" How bold are you? Do you think that the county exam is a thousand-word essay? ”

"Huh? Isn't it? Lin Yanchao looked stunned.

Lin Yanchao next to Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan both laughed heartily, they really didn't have a good impression of this week.

Lin Yanchao on the side, Huang Biyou was puzzled and said: "Brother Lin, what is the allusion to this thousand-character text?" Who is this? ”

Before Lin Yanchao could answer, Zhou Zongcheng snorted and said, "It's really a waste of time to talk to a few of you." It doesn't matter who I am, anyway, when the case is released, you will know it by looking at the top ten people in the county. ”

After speaking, Zhou Zongcheng sneered twice, raised his head and walked away.

"This person is really uncute," Lin Yanshou shook his head and said, "I actually competed with me Lin Yanshou for the top ten in the county, I really don't know how thick the sky is." ”

Hearing Lin Yanshou say this, Lin Yanchao and the three of them shook their heads silently.

"Cousin, low-key, low-key." Lin Yanchao persuaded.

Huang Biyou, who doesn't know the truth on the side, look at Lin Yanshou, and then look at Lin Yanchao's heart, Lin Yanchao has only read the Four Books and Five Classics for more than a year, and he is so powerful, this person is his cousin, maybe he is above him, I can't laugh at this person for a while, maybe I can form a good fate.

Soon it was Lin Yanchao's turn to enter, and after the search, Lin Yanchao and them were let go.

Lin Yanchao waited for half an hour before entering the examination booth, and there was still a group of people behind him, waiting to enter. The scale of the examination is no more than that, and there are more than 3,000 candidates, and the number of admission places in the county examination is only 50 people, even if it is shortlisted, it is difficult, and it is not easy to win the list.

The front of the county examination shed is the public hall, and in front of the public hall is several rows of examination rooms, facing each other from east to west, with the road in the middle and the thatched house at the other end.

Lin Yanchao silently memorized the terrain, and there was a public seat in the public hall, and Houguan County knew the county and the county school and taught the county to sit on it. There are not enough covered examination rooms for more than 3,000 candidates, so there are also examination cases on the east and west sides of the corridor outside the hall as an open-air examination center.

If you sit here and take the exam in the wind, rain and sun, it will be miserable.

Lin Yanchao and other candidates were first waited in front of the public court, and there were small officials on the side who took a roll call, and then paid tribute to Zhou Zhixian County, and on the other side they were born to accept bail.

When it came to Lin Yanchao, the little official on the side rolled up and said: "Lin Yanchao of Hongtang Township, Lin Chengyi is a guarantor!" ”

Lin Yanchao bowed his head, but heard a voice: "Student Lin Chengyibao!" ”

At the moment, Lin Yanchao couldn't see which one of his lives was Lin Chengyi, so he got the test paper after making a move, and a small official took it to take the test, and the little official whispered on the side: "Yes, Lin Gongzi, Lin Tieshu has taken care of it, and your seat is written on the paper." ”

There are no unspoken rules anywhere, even if the provincial exam is strict, it is the same, and if you change the children who don't know the details, where do you know this, there is no open-air test center to be drawn, or you are still blaming yourself for your bad luck.

Lin Yanchao looked at the scroll and printed the book 'Xuan Er Gui You'.

The examination room with a roof is arranged in the thousand-character text 'Tianxuan Dihuang', with only four lines, and the rest are open-air. It is arranged according to the heavenly stems and the earth, and ranks tenth in the sexagesimal system. The second deciduous is seventy, that is, the seventieth examination room of the Xuanzi row.

Lin Yanchao wanted to follow the corridor to find an examination room by himself, but the little official diligently led Lin Yanchao to the seat, and he didn't shirk it.

The examination room is very low, Lin Yanchao has just pulled it out, and he can touch his head when he stands up, there are thick board walls on the left and right, and several cases that can be disassembled are horizontal on it, and there is nothing else except a pen wash containing water.

Lin Yanchao walked into the examination room and took out the things in the long-eared examination basket one by one, and there were also candidates entering the examination room one after another.

The pen and ink inkstones are placed on several cases, and the volumes are put away. After waiting for a while, the candidates finally entered the venue, the door of the examination booth was closed, the public hall was struck with a loud sound, and the examination room was silent.
