Chapter 111: The county test is coming
Two months before the county examination, the Ming government successively launched ten issues of "Mingtang Wengui", each issue is different, and the analysis of the imperial examination is becoming more and more detailed and profound, and the readers in L County are crazy about it.

Master Qian's correspondence with the Ming family has also become more and more frequent.
Sun Yu lived in the Ming Mansion and was familiar with the operation of the Ming Family School.
After seeing the "Mingtang Wen Gui", he studied the "Ming Tang Wen Gui" in depth, and taught Ming Zhongxin all the experience gained from it.
Ming Zhongxin couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but he couldn't say that the "Mingtang Wen Gui" was made by himself, and there were many scientific examination topics in the Guiyuan Tower Library, and there were various types of four books and five scriptures, so he didn't need to learn these writing skills at all.
However, Sun Yu is erudite and talented after all, and his experience in doing four books is still good, and he also taught Ming Zhongxin some of his experience in taking the exam without reservation.
Ming Zhongxin listened to it with relish, but also benefited a lot.
In addition, Huang Ju, Wang Qi, Li Yu and others also came to discuss the county examination topics with Ming Zhongxin from time to time, but they were actually spying on whether the new chapter of "Mingtang Wen Gui" came out, but they were caught by Sun Yu and studied with Ming Zhongxin, and they all complained of suffering.
Except for these trivial things, nothing unexpected happened in the Ming Mansion, and just like that, two months passed peacefully.
There is some wonder in Mingzhong's confidence, why has it been so calm in the past two months, could it be that the prefect has retreated in the face of difficulties?
It's good to be calm, otherwise you will be distracted.
It's best that the prefect has given up targeting the Ming family and turned back to Fucheng!
Otherwise, dealing with him by himself, plus taking the county exam, this is really a bit of a dilemma for himself!
But you can't be careless, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, in case of a sudden come, the Ming Mansion may not be able to bear it, so be cautious! Ming Zhongxin instructed the Ming family to be cautious and cautious in all aspects of business, and not to be careless!
However, until the county test was approaching, there was no movement!
It's finally here!
The prefectural test is finally here!
Ming Zhongxin's hanging heart gradually calmed down.
The county test will be held tomorrow, but the Ming Mansion has become a mess!
The old lady shouted loudly, and the servants were busy, preparing this and that, and everything had to be seen by herself, and only after she was satisfied was she allowed to put it in the big bamboo basket.
The day to decide the fate of the students has finally arrived, and the students and scholars who walked out of the inn and home were either anxious or full of ambition, carrying the examination basket and walking to the examination room.
Ming Zhongxin is no exception, saying goodbye to the eldest mother who clings to it and instructs her to go, and embarks on the road to the county government.
He brought a lot of things, food, clothing, shelter and writing: a large bamboo basket, in which a lamb fur, preserved fruits, pastries, cooked food, water cups and other eating and drinking objects, a thin mattress, and the most indispensable four treasures of the study.
Of course, these things were all taken by the servants, and Ming Zhongxin walked with ease.
Ming Zhongxin went to the county examination room with everyone.
Ming Zhongyuan introduced the county examination room for him.
The examination room is located in a bazaar not far from the county government, the bazaar has already set up the examination shed, facing the south and back to the north, the southernmost east and west respectively set up a gate for personnel to enter and exit, is surrounded by a wooden fence, forms a compound, the north of the compound is the main gate, also called "Dragon Gate", take the fish to jump over the dragon gate, one step to the sky. Behind the dragon gate is a large courtyard, for the candidates to wait for the roll call, there are three halls in front of the dragon gate, the middle is the aisle, the examiner sits in the west room, faces the east roll call, and then the north is the examination room, the long table, the bench is placed, the sticker on the table table, the number of a certain word is written on it.
At this time, there were five small officials standing at the gate, checking the candidates' certificates and the luggage they carried, and the inspection was extremely careful: bedding, clothes, shoes and socks were all checked one by one to see if there were any coercions, and even underwear had to be checked, and the pastries and food were cut open and inspected, and then the candidates were allowed to enter the compound and wait for the roll call.
Huang Ju and the others had already come to the outside of the gate, and when they saw Ming Zhongxin coming, they came forward for a while, quietly waiting for the entrance.
Ming Zhongxin moved forward with the large team, and gradually came to the little officer, and handed the test basket to the little official for his inspection.
But I saw a small official come forward and whisper to the little official in front of Ming Zhongxin, and the two changed, and Ming Zhongxin didn't care, waiting for the inspection.
The little official lowered his head and checked the things in the examination basket one by one, checked the bedding one by one, and opened all the food, but the more it was cut, the smaller it became, and finally it was actually cut into powder, which was a bit excessive.
Ming Zhongxin was congested for a while, it is necessary to be so meticulous! However, today people have to bow their heads under the eaves, forget it! Calm down and get ready to enter.
"Take off your kaftan!" The little official commanded.
Mingzhong did as instructed. The little official took the robe and fumbled for a while, and put it on the examination basket, but accidentally, the shirt fell into the examination basket, and the food was stained on the shirt.
"Excuse me!" The little official gave Ming Zhongxin an apologetic look.
"It's okay!" Ming Zhongxin frowned, his consciousness moved slightly, and he threw himself on the little official, but he felt the weak hostility of the little official.
Why is that? Ming Zhongxin looked at the little official playfully.
The little official still had a businesslike face, "Take off your underwear!" ”
"What?" The scholars behind Ming Zhongxin were all incredulous, could it be that this year's county exam was so strict? Looking at the inspection of other officials, they just groped around and let them go, and it seemed that only their own team had such strict inspections.
Hey, why did I wait for someone to get into such a thing? There was a grumble in the hearts of the people.
Ming Zhongxin smiled meaningfully at the little official, and still acted according to the instructions, I want to see what else you can do?
The underwear is still free of carrying!
"Climb down!" The little officer commanded.
Ming Zhongxin was reluctant to do this, and asked, "Why?" ”
"Check Gu Dao!" The little official said expressionlessly.
Everyone was in an uproar, this is really a strange news, there has never been a precedent for the county test to inspect the valley road.
Of course, seriously speaking, the little official is not at fault, after all, Gu Dao may also be coerced, but Gu Dao who inspects the reader is a bit insulting! This must not be tolerated!
"Who the hell wants you to do this?" Ming Zhongxin's face was gloomy, and he stared at the eyes of the little official!
The little official also stared at him and said slowly, "This is the scientific examination procedure!" ”
"Yes! Why don't they check? Ming Zhongxin pointed to the other teams.
"It's my duty, and in my opinion, I have to check Gu Dao!" The little official's face was expressionless.
It's okay, it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes really chose a good chess piece! Mingzhong's faith is full of hatred.
Although these methods can't be put on the table, they won't do anything to you, but it's disgusting!
However, he will not let others handle it, if he is so humiliated today, he will become a laughing stock for his whole life, and how to hold his head up in his career in the future!
Get checked and be a laughing stock! If you don't accept it, you will withdraw from the county test! This is going to ruin his path to the imperial examination! There must be no compromise.
