Since his father's study came out, Pang Jiushan began to arrange tomorrow's affairs, and he didn't rest for a while until the early hours of the morning, and he didn't sleep long before he woke up and went to Gualiu Hutong to call Ning Du and Hu Ran.

Originally, Pang Jiushan just took the exam of Qingteng Garden with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but later he met Ning Du, and in a hurry, he didn't arrange everything until the early hours of this morning, so he could only say it in the morning.

Pang Jiushan took Ning Du and Hu Ran through the streets and alleys, talking about his plan as he walked.

"Brother Ning, I only took the test for half a day in Qingteng Park last year, and I took the test for two days the year before last, and I don't know how long it will take this year. Brother Ning, don't think about it too much, just take the test according to the rules. ”

"Brother Ning, this is your bamboo jian. The above information is for candidates in the same exam room as me, and they are similar in appearance and posture to you. You take this person's bamboo book first, and when you enter the examination room, we will change it. If anything happens, push it on me. ”

It only took two days for Pang Jiushan to arrange all this without delaying Xuanhemen's daily affairs, and his meticulousness and ability to take care of the situation can be seen.

Ning Du glanced at the bamboo jian in his hand and asked, "It seems that there are not a few people who cheat every year." ”

"As long as there is something that is profitable, someone will do it. However, it is still more difficult to take the substitute exam. Those who can pass the exam will naturally not take the substitute exam, and the benefits of being admitted to the four universities are more effective than anything else; those who have passed the exam are also famous, and they will be recognized when they enter the examination room. Heaven alone favors me and allows me to meet you. Pang Jiushan said with a smile.

"Wow, there are so many people!" Hu Ran, who looked at the distance, couldn't help but exclaim.

Running through the entire Chaomingfang is Buqiu Street, and most of the roads to the four universities need to pass through here. As soon as the day dawned, the street was already crowded with people, all kinds of people crowded into a piece of rice cake, and there were still scholars holding a book and hugging Buddha feet in the last time.

The Iron Feather Army has long been maintained, and the dignified armor and murderous aura still can't suppress the boiling voice.

The immense momentum of 300,000 men is enough to make any army lose its color.

Prices, which have risen for a month, have soared to a new level today. Even if it is a big tea shop at the entrance of the street, a bowl of coarse leaf tea can be sold for three dollars, and the most inconspicuous small traders can make money every day.

Ning Du glanced at this momentum, and only then did he really understand what the four universities were. Fortunately, Pang Jiushan had already done all this series of things, otherwise he might not be able to squeeze out a street today.

In the uproar, Ning Du and the three of them squeezed to the door. Ning Du turned around and said, "Hu Ran, go back, the nearby restaurants and teahouses are too expensive." ”

Hu Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Young Master, what do you want to eat when you come back?"

"Drink white porridge. ”

Ning Du only replied, and was squeezed out of the crowd. Hu Ran couldn't see his young master in the blink of an eye, and he looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't find the other party's figure, so he had to turn around and go back in disappointment.

Knock! Knock!

Three loud gongs suppressed the voice, and the small door of the Qingteng Garden slowly opened, and several people walked out of it. There are a total of 12 doors in the Qingteng Garden, either in the narrow alley, or hidden in the Qingteng, I haven't known in advance, and I really don't know where to enter.

"The candidates lined up, and the rest of the people withdrew. The handsome white-crowned youth said loudly, and a row of iron feather soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pulled up a horizontal line, pushed the crowd out, and also formed a line of candidates.

In the midst of most of the hour, Ning Du and Pang Jiushan finally entered the examination room. After passing two more checks, the two of them entered the examination room, and the two took advantage of the staggered gap to change the bamboo jian in their hands, which was regarded as a change of identity.

The bronze bell rings.

The noise outside the window was swept away, and everyone in the examination room sat up.

A total of 10,000 people applied for the Qingteng Garden, and there were 100 examination rooms, all of which were under the age of 30. For some reason, the four universities have tacitly formed a rule that no one over the age of 30 will be admitted. Such a young group of people are all selected from the top of the list. Now these people are sitting upright, quite a bit of the future court of the Ming Dynasty.

A young man with a white face and six old scholars in blue and black clothes walked to the front of the stage, glanced at the hundred people, and said: "The most intolerable thing in Qingteng Garden is cheating, and anyone who is suspected of cheating will be disqualified, and they will not be able to take the test again for ten years." Note that as long as I determine that you are suspected of cheating, this is true regardless of whether you cheat or not. Qingteng Garden does not accept any objections. ”

In fact, this sentence is still quite intriguing, assuming that "he didn't think you cheated", then even if you cheat, you will be considered not cheating, so the main question is not whether you cheat, but whether he thinks you cheated, I'm afraid Pang Jiushan has also done some work on this person.

There is no time to go into the details of everything here, and one can only be a mindless obedient. Whether it is a poor scholar who has just arrived, or a young man who is flying and domineering on weekdays, they are silent at this time.

Preparing for the exam for three or even 10 years starts as fast as a marquee, and it doesn't allow people to get into a state of calm, and it officially begins.

The bell rings three times.

"Hair curls!"

Hundreds of sets of test questions were immediately distributed to each candidate by four invigilators, but not a word was written on this test paper, just a blank piece of paper.

The young invigilator looked at the dazed crowd and said, "The first question in this garden - piano." Later you will hear a sound, and all you have to do is write it down. ”

Zheng!

There was no buffer time, and as soon as the invigilator's words fell, the sound of the piano came from the small building in the distance. It's a long way off, but everyone is there.

At the beginning, Zheng Zheng was like the wind blowing the paulownia leaves, and then stumbling through the alley, turning a hundred times and thousands of times, circulating in the Tiandu, and finally scattered in the snow lake in the north city. The sound is flickering, gradually there is rain falling, knocking tiles, hugging leaves, kissing flowers, gradually flourishing, gradually flourishing, gradually flourishing, suddenly, knocking tiles, smashing leaves, burying flowers, if the army rushes to kill the enemy chieftain, the sky is heavy and rainy, the residual blood is rolled, the sound is higher, dense as the wind, and suddenly broken! Gradually like the bright moon falling in the west, the tall buildings look at the city.

The sound of the piano is not long, only a moment. As soon as I stopped, someone started writing.

Ning Du thought about it and started writing.

Half an hour has passed, and there are still people writing, and they have already sprinkled a thousand words and still can't stop writing.

The young invigilator suddenly said, "Collect the papers." ”

"Wait, examiner, I haven't finished writing yet. Immediately someone pleaded.

"If you don't finish writing, what's the matter with me?"

No one dared to argue anymore, so they had to hand in the first exam paper.

Pang Jiushan glanced at Ning Du from time to time, and felt a little worried in his heart, after all, this year's topic was too treacherous, making people confused at all.

In only half a moment, the volume was collected and sent to the Forgotten Pavilion of Qingteng Garden, and the personnel who were waiting there began to approve it as soon as they received it.

The young invigilator glanced at everyone and said, "Next, take the second exam." ”

"What? You have to take two exams in half a day, and you don't even have time to rest?"

"Do you have an opinion?"

"I ......"

The young invigilator snorted coldly and said, "If there are any more unauthorized speakers, this exam will be invalidated." ”

Silent again.

The test question was immediately sent down, still a blank piece of paper, but with a piece of paper with a chessboard on it.

"The second game - chess. Make your own scores, with white on red pen and black on black pen, and write your intentions for each step on the test paper. The second exam, begins. ”

Ning Du looked at the test paper and raised his hand. Pang Jiushan's heart tightened slightly, and he looked at Ning Du.

The young invigilator glanced at Ning Du and said, "What's the matter?"

"This chess...... How?"

The candidates who heard this were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Students all over the world still don't know how to play Go, even if they are not proficient, they should know a little.

The young invigilator glanced at Ning Du again, confirmed that the other party had no intention of playing, and said: "It's very simple, the line is qi, the qi is blocked, and the chess pieces are dead." Each intersection is a place, and the one who occupies more land wins. ”

Ning Du nodded suddenly and picked up the pen.

Pang Jiushan was a little stunned, looked at Ning Du, and still had some hope in his heart.

Time was passing quickly, and fine sweat was oozing from each of the candidates' heads.

A game of chess takes half an hour, and if you want to show all your talents, you need to rack your brains every step, but you don't know when it will be rewinded, so you can only hurry up and catch up. Even the national players looked a little flustered at this time.

Half an hour later, everyone stopped writing, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and gasped. Hearing that everyone around them had stopped writing, the rest of them were even more anxious, almost all of them finished in a hurry, and when they looked back, they shouted badly, hating that they didn't see a good move or made a wrong move.

The young invigilator glanced at everyone and said, "Since everything is finished, then hand in the paper." The other six invigilators were waiting for them to start collecting their papers.

"Examiner, is there no time limit for this field?"

"Nope. ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?!" someone immediately said angrily.

"Your exam qualification is invalid. ”

"Why?"

"This is the Ivy Garden. ”

The man lost his temper suddenly, slumped in front of the table, began to realize that this was the truth, the look in his eyes gradually faded, and finally he cried with his head in his arms, and immediately someone put him out without the slightest delay.

The young invigilator glanced at everyone and said, "Later, Qingteng Garden will provide lunch for everyone, if anyone is willing to go out to eat, it is okay, but if you come in again, you still need to be checked, and the third exam will be after eating." ”

It takes at least half an hour just to check, but no one wants to go out and turn back anymore.

After the young invigilator said this, he walked out of the examination room, and there was no whispering in the remaining examination room, only small curses and sighs.
