Chapter 95
When Mu Qing walked into the examination room with the exam box on his back, he could still feel a sharp gaze following him.
If it was usual, even if he didn't know where that person was going, he would follow, Annu would naturally go to Li Qianyu, although he might suffer a little during this period, but there was a chance that he would get out of danger. Scholars cherish feathers, and Mu Qing is no exception, being wronged and violently resisting the law are completely two different concepts, once there is such a record, even if he is innocent in the end, he will inevitably wear the hat of madness, and he can't take it off if he wears it.
But now it is different, he is standing outside the examination room, and the power of glory and wealth is one step away, and it is impossible for him to retreat.
If it is delayed, it will be another three years, and no one knows what will happen in these three years. And if he really had to wait for three years, Mu Qing was almost 100% sure that he would not have the opportunity to stay by Li Qianyu's side.
Even if he risked his life today, he would go in, so the cry just now was very sincere.
When passing by Liu Shiren, an old and calm voice sounded in Mu Qing's ears, low, as if it could be blown away by the wind: "Take the exam well, don't let the official be embarrassed." β
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Liu Shiren's face, but the man had already turned his head and walked away along the corridor first, without looking at him again.
=============================================================
The inspection of the township test is much better than before, after all, these students can't run the name of a master whether they are in or not, if they win, then they are lifted, and they are considered to have an official body, and they will soar in the future.
The Zhou Dynasty treated the literati very kindly, and the officials who inspected these inspections were also very polite, and they never scolded loudly during the inspection, but they laughed kindly, and there was no blasphemy. Mu Qing was prepared, and most of the things he brought could be seen clearly at a glance, so he naturally entered the examination room without any hindrance.
Because of the turmoil just now, he was the first to enter. Holding the number plate in his hand, Mu Qing searched left and right, and then saw his examination booth.
In front of the examiner, facing the examiners squarely, it is a very bad position. But Mu Qing didn't think so much, so he sat in with the curtain, took off the curtain and folded it aside, put the pen and ink aside neatly, and closed his eyes to recuperate. For Mu Qing, the state of mind after being reborn is far from the beginning, and the most important thing is that he can finally put things on his heart, and he will not be at a loss because of something.
Scientific examination, won the middle, worship as the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. This is Mu Qing's biggest goal now.
This township test has been recorded in the original book, and Mu Qing also remembers the exam questions solidly, but in addition to many changes, the examiner has also changed, and Mu Qing is there to live whether it will still be the one he remembered. When the exam papers came down, Mu Qing was really relieved.
"Don't be unpredictable."
Fortunately, the same.
Mu Qing held the pen, and the famous articles of all the famous artists flashed in his head, but he hesitated.
If he remembers it well, this year's champion Lang is a man surnamed Yuan, and then took refuge in Li Chengming, and in the end he ended up with no bones, and he was not treated preferentially because he was the champion Lang. Mu Qing has come to this point, whether it is the middle or the rafter, he is really not sure.
I already had a typed draft in my heart, but he was reluctant to write, this article is gorgeous and precise, enough to be of the highest quality, but it is mostly ethereal out of thin air, and there is no half of the mind in it. Mu Qing has experienced not many things since he came to the Zhou Dynasty, but there are also a lot. He had seen the prosperity of the south, and he also knew that the Japanese were rampant, he had been kidnapped by the Huns, and he had been threatened by thousands of households.
Mu Qing was reluctant for the first time, and he was no longer in a peaceful state of mind, so he clenched the hand holding the pen tightly.
In the end, Mu Qing gritted his teeth and pursed his lips tightly.
Reborn in a lifetime, he has a profit, and it is a blessing to live one more day, what else is he afraid of?! Maybe as soon as he goes out, the thousand households will hack himself to death, in this case, it is better to write an article freely, no matter what, he Mu Qing should never shrink his head turtle!
After making up his mind, Mu Qing filled up the ink, and then wrote directly on the scratch paper without pausing.
The big husband, born to stand up to the sky, and die to stand on the ground! If going out is a death, then it is better to stand up before death, and it will not live up to the style of the literati.
As everyone knows, his every move fell into the eyes of several examiners above.
"This is Mu Qing, right?" A red-robed adult sitting next to Liu Shiren looked no more than thirty years old, and unlike ordinary readers, he looked less bookish and a little more shrewd on his face.
Liu Shiren turned his eyes back from Mu Qing without a trace, and his expression was calm: "There are so many people who come to take the exam, but the official doesn't remember who their surnames are." Lord Deng's words made the official incomprehensible. β
The red-robed official was still smiling, but he secretly cursed the old fox in his heart. His name is Deng Jian, and he is a son of the Deng family in Jiangnan, and Deng Yuanshan still has to copy Deng Jian and shout "uncle". Long before the start of the township test, Deng Yuanshan sent a letter to Deng Jian, recommending Mu Qing, Deng Jian had also heard Mu Qing's name, thinking of his connection with his own family, he wanted to sell this face, but Deng Jian could also see the farce outside the door just now.
It seems that he is just a young offspring, but he didn't expect to provoke thousands of nobles to arrest him, and he wanted to give him a convenient thought, but he didn't expect Liu Shiren, who wanted to be a fool of everything, to speak for him. said that it was to protect the candidates, but everyone was in the square, and no one should hide it from anyone, and Liu Shiren had already explained his protection by letting Mu invite this buddy in.
In the end, Deng Jian has to weigh one or two more.
His thoughts turned a thousand times, but Deng Jianjunxiu's face was still a plain smile, as if he pretended to mention it casually: "Xiaguan has also heard of Mu Qing's reputation, his reputation in Jiangnan is not small, and Xiaguan has also read the poems and articles he wrote, but he is very angry." β
Liu Shiren was sitting there, and after hearing Deng Jian's words, he pulled the corners of his mouth without care: "It's just a small Dao'er." β
As soon as these words came out, Deng Jian knew that he might not be able to say anything, so he stopped talking, and took a cup of tea in silence.
And Mu Qing, who was sitting in front of them, didn't know that he was in the eyes of these two at all, and only wrote articles by himself, and he looked like he didn't hear anything outside the window.
=========================================================================
As the sky gradually darkened, the candidates dropped their pens and stopped writing.
Because there are rules in the examination room, the door is not allowed to be opened again after the exam has started, so it is very taboo to see open flames in the examination room. Both the examinee and the examiner can only eat some cold food, and if they want to be hot, they can only give the food they bring to the inspector and ask them to heat it on their behalf. But many officials don't bring things back at all, so after two candidates suffered losses, no one handed over the food anymore.
The things Mu Qing brought were all prepared by Annu, who had always been thoughtful, and most of the food prepared was food that could be eaten after it was cooled. Mu Qing took a sea bowl out, broke the steamed buns he was carrying and put them in, and after soaking them in water to soften, he ate half a piece of cooked beef. The beef is full, but you don't feel hungry for a moment. Drinking the water in the bowl again, Mu Qing exhaled, then wrapped the bowl in a cloth and stuffed it back into the bookcase, sorted out the pen and ink, and placed the exam papers properly, then dropped the curtain and lay down on the bookcase, closing his eyes.
The hard floor is obviously not as soft and proper as the bed at home, but maybe it is because of the tossing and turning today, plus I have been nervous for a long time, and I feel sleepiness when I relax a little, and it didn't take long for Mu Qing to fall asleep, and when I woke up again, it was already a bright day.
People are easy to dream when they are not steadfast in their hearts, Mu Qing had a dream for one night, in the previous life, in this life, those people and those things are mixed and rushed into the head, making people confused. Sitting up in a daze, he opened the curtain and looked out, and saw that many scholars had already gotten up. The official sent a basin of water in front of each examination booth, which was made up of well water, which could be used by the candidates to wash their faces, and the pages could be used for shabu-shabu. Mu Qing came out, squatted in front of the plate and washed his face with the water in the basin, so he was refreshed, and then looked around, and found that no one was looking at him, so he thought about it.
People can't always stay in one place, and it's easy to get sick if you hold back. His essay is ready, just transcribe it and finish it, and then wait for the next topic to be handed out in the afternoon. With plenty of time, Mu Qing stretched his muscles and bones and put on a very magical and weird pose.
If Annu is here, he will find that his master has started to do that martial arts cheats called "radio gymnastics" again.
Most of the candidates were racking their heads and pondering, and Mu Qing's position was too difficult to detect before the exam, so no one could see what Mu Qing was doing. But an official saw it, first confused, then shocked, turned his head and ran to the back wing.
"Lord Liu, the little one has something to report."
"Enter."
The official pushed the door in, and saw Liu Shiren, who was already fully dressed, holding a book reading. When Liu Shiren saw him, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's not yet time to ring the bell, what's the matter with you?" β
The official looked stern, clenched his fists and arched his hand and said: "My lord, the little one saw that the candidate surnamed Mu in the first row was dancing with his hands, and the little one suspected that he was doing some kind of witchcraft. β
Liu Shiren was stunned for a moment, put the book in his hand away, but picked it up the next moment. He glanced at the official and said lightly: "Do you know what innocent slander is?" β
When the official heard this, he lay directly on the ground, and he couldn't answer.
Liu Shiren took the book indifferently and said in a deep voice: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and with the blessing of the saints of Confucius and Mencius, where can anyone practice any witchcraft?" You retreat quickly, don't talk nonsense, if you let the official hear it again, he won't spare you! β
The official hurriedly bowed profusely and quickly left the room, but he didn't know that after he left, Liu Shiren tidied up his clothes and raised his voice slightly: "Someone." β
The door was pushed open again, and it was Duro in a green shirt who looked dignified. With a faint smile on his handsome face, he arched his hand towards Liu Shiren and said, "What does Mr. command?" β
"You go ahead and take a look, let Mu Qingan divide some, don't do some strange tricks." Liu Shiren waved his hand with a headache.
Du Luo was a little surprised: "Mu Qing is the one who sat on the ground and cried yesterday?" I have been around the field several times to see that he is all in good character, and when I first came over, I also took a look, and he did not move, but the action of washing his face was a little bigger. β
Liu Shiren obviously trusts Du Luo very much, but he is still a little worried: "He is the sixth prince who wants to keep, and the official also appreciates his talent, so nothing can go wrong." Go, and let him be in peace and keep his way. β
Douro replied and retreated, then walked quickly to the examination room.
When he arrived, Mu Qing did a jumping movement, stretching forward and jumping backwards, looking quite weird.
The corners of Douro's eyes twitched, and he tried to maintain a calm expression and walked towards him. Because the clothes Douro wore were about the same color as the clothes of the officials, and he had also walked in the examination room, no one cared. Looking left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, Du Luo grabbed Mu Qing's arm.
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Du Luo, whose handsome face was slightly wrinkled, a little unclear.
Duro said in a low voice: "Don't do these strange actions, there were people who practiced witchcraft in the examination room, and then they were dragged into prison and couldn't turn over." β
Mu Qing blinked, obviously thinking of his behavior from Du Luo's words, nodded very obediently, and quickly went back to the examination booth, with a look of "I am very peaceful".
Not knowing if it was right to find such a loyal person for himself, Douro shook his head and turned back to the back room.
Not long after, the rooster crowed and the gong sounded, and the examination room was silent.
The author has something to say: from today onwards, it will be renewed, every day or every other day, until the end
