Chapter 168: Qingzhou Spring Test (2)

With the man's order, all the candidates sat cross-legged with brushes, opened the cloth bag they carried, took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and placed them neatly. He also took out the name card from the cloth bag, on which was written the candidate's family history, what the name of the teacher was, etc. However, this name card was sent to the government of Qingzhou City in advance for verification, so as not to let some gangsters get mixed in, which made people laugh.

The examiner was thin, but he was neatly dressed, with a long mustache, holding a heavy ring ruler in his hand, and bowed to the candidates and said: "I am Huang Zhenxi, the chief examiner of the spring examination of Bailu Academy in Qingzhou City, these two are taught by Chen Zhongli, and this is taught by Zhang See. ”

Huang Zhenxi pointed to the two people beside him and continued: "Today, the three of us are here to protect you, there are dozens of scholars waiting outside the door, if some candidates forget to bring pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, you can say hello to those scholars, and they will naturally send what they want." However, if someone is found to have bad intentions, they can also send him away. ”

The candidates saluted to the three examiners: "Thank you for the kindness of the examiners, we will do our best!"

Huang Zhenxi cleared his throat and continued: "This Bailu Academy spring exam is divided into two days, the first day is for scriptures and classics, and the second day is for Lile. No matter if you are in this state or outside the state, whether you are a big family or a poor person, Bailu Academy is the only one. The state guard said that the top three this time can go to the capital to take the exam and get back the past honors for the scholars in Qingzhou City, so the money in the meantime is all paid by the state guard. ”

When all the candidates heard this, they all secretly admired the magnanimity of the state guard, but looking at the number of people in the hall, how easy it was to get the top three. Some people who are close to ancient times are going to come to take the exam, and it seems that this spring exam must be bloody again.

Huang Zhenxi raised a small wooden stick from the side, and motioned to several scholars next to him to lift the big gong up, only to see that the red cloth was wrapped around it, which was very festive. Huang Zhenxi tapped it three times hard, and silently recited the words in his mouth: "Heaven, earth and people, wonderful hands are even." The spring test of Bailu Academy in Qingzhou City is inspired by the will of God!"

As soon as Huang Zhenxi's words fell, the scholars standing outside each walked in with a thick pile of brown paper, and took to the front of the three examiners, which were covered with red clay seals, showing that no one was opening the exam paper halfway.

The three examiners nodded, and after each opening the exam paper, they handed it to the scholar to distribute, and in order to prevent cheating, they each handed out several pieces of straw paper. After a while, the entire hall was silent, except for the sound of quiet breathing, the occasional cough, and the sound of subtle ink.

At this time, a scholar brought an incense burner, handed the fire fold to Huang Zhenxi, and retreated. I saw that he lit the fire, lit the sandalwood on the incense burner, bowed to the hanging saint statue, and set the incense burner upright. One is counting the time, and the other is refreshing, hoping that all candidates can carp jump over the dragon gate and spread their wings for 90,000 miles!

Qin Chuan couldn't help but gasp when he took the exam questions, this exam question was almost the same as the one in Meng Qing's hand! Except for a few questions on Taoism and politics, there were not fixed words, and the other history books and classics were all prepared by Qin Chuan in advance. Therefore, Qin Chuan took out the wolf pen, carefully studied the ink, and after a moment of stabilizing his mind, he wrote the first pen.

However, it was Guan Lang who was surprised, his eyes turned white after looking at the exam questions, his mind was a little dizzy, he didn't believe the truth of the exam questions for a while, he pinched himself several times, and when the familiar pain came, he had vaguely guessed Qin Chuan's identity.

That day, he was very confident to inform Guan Lang of the exam questions, and asked him to go to the second-hand bookstall to find the answers, Guan Lang also laughed at him for being stunned, and he didn't expect that he really got the exam questions for the spring exam of Bailu Academy. No wonder he dared to have a dislike with Meng Qing and was not afraid, it seemed that Qin Chuan had a lot of hole cards in his hand.

However, since Qin Chuan gave such a big gift, Guan Lang naturally would not live up to it, closed his eyes and thought about it a few times, and wrote towards the most familiar exam questions, after all, he only felt that Qin Chuan was unreliable at that time, and he was not fully prepared for the exam questions, and Guan Lang still had some regrets in his heart at this time.

Qin Chuan was writing freely at the moment, looking around with his eyes from time to time, and found that Meng Qing was the fastest, not looking at the exam questions at all but writing directly, it seemed that he had memorized the answers in advance.

And Shen Lingqiu, who was next to her, looked at her silhouette at the moment, Rao is Qin Chuan's love was not opened, and he was also a little fascinated, and finally knew why the scholars in Qingzhou City had to look at her twice, it really had a different charm. It's just that she looks down on the scholars in Qingzhou City, and Qin Chuan has a grudge against her in his heart, so he wishes that she couldn't be admitted to Bailu Academy this time, so she can only return to Ningzhou City in disgrace.

But Shen Lingqiu's writing speed was not slower than Meng Qing's, Qin Chuan felt for a while that the entire Qingzhou City knew about this exam question, and someone actually wrote so quickly. Qin Chuan stabilized his mind, dipped the ink a few times and waved it again.

At this time, Huang Zhenxi and the other two teachers began to walk along the path of the sandalwood case, glancing at the examination questions of all the candidates with their spare eyes, and nodded and praised when they met the person who was full of wealth, and stood next to them and looked at it a few more times;

Walking around like this makes some candidates extremely nervous.

The exam questions of Bailu Academy in Qingzhou City this time can be said to be all-encompassing, from mountains and rivers to character classics. Even if you look through some ancient books, you may not be able to find the answers. Even if he reads the scriptures every day, he is scratching his head and ears at the moment. Therefore, those who can win the first place in the spring examination of Bailu Academy must be the seeds of scholars in Qingzhou City, and they can shine in the capital, so that the reputation of Bailu Academy in Qingzhou City will spread throughout the entire Longguo again, and even make the other literary holy places embarrassed.

At this time, Huang Zhenxi couldn't help but think of the "White Deer Academy Fu" written by the mysterious person on the wall at the door:

"There is a place in Qingzhou City, called Bailu Academy. Hundreds of years old, tens of thousands of sons, glorious in the old days, up to the temple of the high for the people to ask for their lives, the policy of governing the country came to the country; The inheritance has not been broken, and the peach and plum are all over the world. At that time, people called the person who held the bull's ear in the literary circle of Longguo must be Bailu Academy. In the words of the Gentiles, they know the White Deer Academy but do not know the Tai Academy. Although it is in a land of poor mountains and bad waters, it is famous in the world. However, for decades, none of them entered the capital Tai Academy, but there were those who committed adultery and criminals, although they went to Qingzhou City, but they did not go to Qingzhou to study. Yu Longguo's literary circle laughed that Bailu was dead, and there was no more seed of scholars, and the Gentiles disdained to be with it. Every time I think of this, I feel sad, but why is it that people are also old?"

One night in Bailu Academy, a mysterious person entered, and quietly wrote this "Bailu Academy Fu", so that dozens of teachers in the academy were red-faced, speechless to face the readers of Qingzhou City, and even some people dropped the scriptures and classics, and went to be a farmer outside the city.

Huang Zhenxi thought of this, his old face was also red, if there were no more literati in Bailu Academy this time, then this Bailu Academy would sink down, and I don't know when it would make a comeback!

At this moment, Huang Zhenxi walked next to a teenager, and his face finally smiled.
