According to this trend, this year's exam questions should be piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, who would have thought that Qingteng Garden would take four exams in a row? It's all too much like a marquee, and you can't even catch a shadow, and even those who are only eight years old are a little uneasy.

Almost all the candidates had a gloomy look on their faces. Taking advantage of the time to eat, Pang Jiushan found Ning Du, but he could only exchange a few words.

"Brother Ning, how is it?"

"It's fine. ”

Pang Jiushan looked at Ning Du's eyes and smiled. Ning Du seems to be like this forever, his eyebrows are slightly slanted to the sky, his eyes are slightly dignified, with some arrogance that cannot be erased, and at the same time, he also reveals self-confidence that cannot be erased.

The candidates were basically in no mood for lunch, and in a state of anxiety, the third exam began.

"The third exam – the book. Write your thoughts on the two morning exams. The time of this exam is one hour. ”

The question about the "book" once again surprised the candidates, and since the beginning of time, which test has allowed the test to evaluate the test itself? People have guessed the question, but they have not guessed the content.

Should I write a splendid essay to praise or face the anger in my heart? For the latter choice, apart from those who gave up the exam completely, how many people dare to write like this?

Another blank sheet of paper was sent down.

No one put pen to paper.

Because no one understands the intentions of Qingteng Garden.

Since the fifth watch, he was called by Hu Ran, he didn't eat breakfast, so he followed Pang Jiushan all the way, Ning Du was really sleepy and tired now, and after writing a few words, he fell asleep on the table, as for what others were doing, he didn't need to care.

Pang Jiushan looked up and saw that Ning Du was asleep, and he was shocked, but after thinking about it again, he was relieved. Since he has chosen to believe in Ning Du, then he completely believes it, how can there be so many doubts.

The bell rang again.

Ning Du woke up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes, stretched, and looked towards the podium.

The young invigilator glanced at everyone, paused on Ning Du's body, and said, "The fourth exam - painting." The exam will take place at two hours. ”

The test papers were sent down again.

However, the test questions are still beyond the imagination of the candidates, and this exam is not given a question for the candidates to draw a picture, but to copy a picture.

Ning Du was secretly happy in his heart, he finally had one of the four exams he was good at, but when he saw the painting, he pouted.

"What is this drawing? A cloud of ink? It's too simple, isn't it?"

Probably all the candidates think the same way in their hearts. There are only a few candidates, fine sweat oozing from their heads, and the wrist holding the pen seems to be hanging a thousand pounds of weight, and it takes great strength to move a stroke.

Although Confucianism is biased towards the liberal arts, the four universities are still very attractive to practitioners. Every year, a large number of outstanding practitioners take the exam, but few of them are admitted, and it is often those who have never practiced before who enter the Qingmei Garden in the Qingteng Garden. In terms of cultivation, the four universities tend to choose people with high talents, rather than people who practice by perseverance and other conditions.

The last question, ordinary people can't see any mystery, but those who have practiced will find it very difficult, and even so difficult that it is not a problem that can be solved below the four realms.

"Someone!" the young invigilator suddenly called.

Immediately, two invigilators walked up to a candidate and slapped him on the back, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, and the invigilator shoved a pill into his mouth, and someone immediately put him out.

"If you can't draw it, don't do it yourself. The young invigilator announced in a cold voice to everyone present.

When the candidates saw that someone was actually painting and vomiting blood, their hearts tightened, and they didn't dare to put pen to paper, so they couldn't wait to stick their faces on the drawing paper and carefully observe the ink to see what the mystery was.

Just as the young invigilator had just spoken, Ning Du raised his hand.

"What?"

"I'm done, can I go?"

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes looked at Ning Du, which contained all kinds of emotions.

"No, you can't. The examiner said coldly.

Ning Du had no choice but to lie on the table again and fall asleep. I thought that this exam was too simple, especially the last one, and I didn't know if the person who wrote the question could understand the other picture I added.

The brass bell rang again.

The exams in Qingteng Garden are completely over.

This day's exam, like a white horse, will be the most difficult moment in the lives of countless people. Almost all the candidates walked out of the examination room in despair, and the candidates from the other three universities were not much different. If the exam of 400 out of 100,000 is too simple to be effective, the gloomy and bleak scene is the norm.

In the crowded flow of people, Pang Jiushan finally managed to settle for Ning Du, so he didn't care about saying more, so he had to walk outside.

"Young master, young master, I'm here!" Hu Ran, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, jumped up and beckoned.

Ning Du and Pang Jiushan squeezed through the crowd and joined Hu Ran.

"Young Master, Young Master, how is it?"

"It's pretty simple. ”

Suddenly, someone turned his head and looked at Ning Du, with a complicated expression.

Pang Jiushan shouted loudly: "Brother Ning, let's go out first." The three of them squeezed out, turned into an alley, got into a carriage, and quickly detoured out of Buqiu Street.

After refusing Pang Jiushan's invitation to go to "Yuyinliang", Ning Du and Hu Ran went back to Gualiu Hutong together, bought half a catty of pickled crispy cucumbers and half a catty of deboned duck meat on the way, and went home to drink porridge.

"Young Master, what did you do today?" asked Hu Ran while eating.

"Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

"Sounds so hard. Master, do you know everything?"

"I won't be able to do the first three, and I'll be first in the last one. ”

"If you are the first in the last door, you can also enter the Ivy Garden. ”

"Worst, I should be fourth!"

"Well, young master, you eat more pieces of duck meat, half of it belongs to you, I won't rob it from you. ”

——

The shopkeeper of Liuxian Ju was picked up in his sleep, and he was covered by someone just as he wanted to scream, and then there was coldness and a trace of pain in his neck.

"If you dare to shout, I'll kill you immediately!"

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, for fear that the other party would really kill him.

"Let me ask you, where did that silver ticket come from in Zhengde Qianzhuang?"

Just this sentence made the shopkeeper's head sweat. Two days ago, the store received a silver ticket from Zhengde Qianzhuang, and he speculated that it was the young man who deceived Zeng Mingkai, a big businessman in Guanzhong, a few days ago, and wanted to tie him up to go to Guanzhong to change money, but he never thought that things would be twists and turns. A behemoth like Xuan Hemen is far from being provoked by the shopkeeper of a small restaurant, and then he received a warning from the other party, so he naturally wants to rot this matter in his stomach. He was planning to sell the restaurant and go home, but he didn't want to be one step too late. What are the intentions of these people today? Is it also for money?

The shopkeeper's mind turned around a thousand times, and he couldn't think of the other party's true intentions, and the sweat on his forehead was even more.

"Don't you say yes?"

The coldness on the neck is even worse!

The shopkeeper could already clearly feel the blood running down his neck, and no matter how hard he pushed himself, he couldn't calm down.

"Don't you say yes?"

"I said, I said!" the shopkeeper was already slopping on the ground, panting for breath, crying and telling everything that had happened in the past few days.

The person who came stared at the shopkeeper to make sure that he had no more lies, and suddenly killed the shopkeeper with a knife.

"What are you doing, what are you doing to kill him?" came the voice of reproach from outside the window.

"It's good that our brothers know this news, if more people know, this deal won't be done. And your distant cousin, the shopkeeper of this shop. ”

"I don't care if you kill as many people as you want, but don't try to kill people related to me. ”

"Then you have to watch his mouth, otherwise, this 100,000 taels deal will be smashed, and I don't recognize people with this knife. ”
