I sat motionless for a few hours, and I had already written three articles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe sky is getting dark in early spring, the sun has dimmed, the twilight in the alley is wrapped in cold air falling from the walls, and a few finches are flying over the house. Qiu Yinming read the written article again, he did his best, since he had already come to take the exam, he must not be hasty. At this time, the hand has been written, the good sentences in the pen slowly flowed out, and the people outside the room all listened to it. This year's exam questions seem to be particularly difficult.

Soon it was completely dark, and Qiu Yinming lit the candle issued by the invigilator. There was a little wind in the night, and the candle flame was blown and shaking, and when the text was in full swing, he wrote two more articles in one breath, intending to write another one, but he was afraid that he would think hard all night, and he would be too tired, but it would not be good. Compared with martial arts, although there is no need to make a big move, the degree of hard work is also comparable. Seeing that the night was very deep, Qiu Yinming put down his pen, crossed his legs on the seat, and closed his eyes to recuperate. It was quiet on both sides, and it was about all rested. Not long after, there was a human voice through the back wall, which could not be heard clearly in the chaos, but it seemed that I heard the word "entrainment", and only heard the sound of the soldier's boots, and after a while it calmed down again. I heard that every year, there are people who defy the law in scientific examinations of all sizes, and they are repeatedly banned.

In the second half of the night, the cold dew invaded the clothes, and the birds were silent.

After a night, the sky is getting green, and the morning light is slightly dewed. Qiu Yinming found that the pen last night was stiff and stiff, opened the box and took out a new one, drank a few sips of cold water, and suddenly his mind was clear, and he was about to write the sixth article, when suddenly the soldier standing guard at the door of Room No. 1 not far away exclaimed: "Someone fainted!" He looked up and saw the examiner hurrying past the door, and in a short time two soldiers carried one out and walked past him. It turned out to be a thin scholar with thin clothes, who fainted due to overthinking, cold weather, and nervousness. He couldn't help but worry about Dongfang Yan in the room next door, and he didn't want to get sick if he ate cold food and cold water. But when I thought that Dongfang Yan was a person who had been in the examination room for a long time, most of them were used to it, so I didn't think about it for the time being, and started to write an article.

After racking his brains to write the seventh article, it was past noon, put away the pen and inkstone, Qiu Yinming only felt dizzy, dry mouth and hunger, so after only straightening out the seven articles, he handed in the paper without reviewing. Walking outside Dongfang Yan's room, I saw that the room was empty. I don't even know when he left. Is it to the point of devotion? Qiu Yinming was a little frightened, and walked out of the Gongyuan all the way, his mind full of words and sentences of the "Four Books" flickering and jumping. When I arrived at the door of the inn, I heard one person shouting, "Young Master Qiu, you are back." Only then did he come to his senses, and he saw that it was Mozhu. Mo Zhu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Young Master, I'm waiting for you to eat together." I went up and told him. "Turned around and trotted all the way upstairs. Qiu Yinming just walked up the stairs, and saw that Dongfang Yan had come out of the house, so he stepped forward and said, "Chengxian, are you still used to it?" Qiu Yinming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yu Jing, today I only learned about the hard work of your scholars." Dongfang Yan smiled: "You can get used to taking the test twice more." Hey, how did you do on the exam? Qiu Yinming said: "I did my best." I didn't even hear when you left. Dongfang Yan nodded and said, "It's really a good realm." Qiu Yinming saw his rather smug look, and hurriedly said, "Yu Jing, you have been waiting for me for a long time, are you going to eat first?" "Dongfang Yan Dao;" That's right, eating. Look at me......" The two chatted word by word, gradually forgetting the feeling in the examination room, found a restaurant nearby, and had the most decent meal in the past two days.

After resting in the inn for a day, early on the morning of the 12th, the two came to the Gongyuan in their original guises. The candidates gathered outside were not as nervous as they were before the first session, but most of them seemed to look bad. The sunny angel capital has been warm a lot for days, and there is a little spring. The people who entered the search were more careful than the previous days, and I heard that four or five cheaters were caught in the first test. After everything went according to plan, the people in the examination room gradually stopped, and only the small "rustle" sound of grinding ink was heard from time to time. The "theory", "judgment", "edict", "table" and so on in the second exam, Qiu Yinming felt that it was much easier, and he worked hard for a day and handed in the papers before the third watch. When he walked out of the room to the partition room, Dongfang Yan nodded and smiled at him, and immediately handed over the papers. When the two walked out of the tribute courtyard, the street was empty. The watchman struck a small gong, and occasionally heard a dog barking.

Dongfang Yan put his hand in his sleeve and said to Qiu Yinming: "I originally wanted to sit until dawn, but I didn't want you to hand in the papers at this time." ”

Qiu Yinming said: "It's too gloomy there, I can't sit still, it's better to come out." ”

"So when I saw you come out, I hurried out too." Dongfang Yan looked around and said, "I've never been out in the middle of the night by myself. I heard that robbers don't shoot lanterns, and they can't prevent it. ”

"Not necessarily." Qiu Yinming said casually: "It's easier to grab it with a lantern." ”

"What did you say?" Dongfang Yan looked at him strangely. Qiu Yin Mingfang felt that the words were not good, and quickly explained: "I mean, some robbers are very powerful and blatant, let's go back to the inn quickly." ”

When the two of them walked to the door of the inn, they saw that there was no light inside, the door was closed, and only two large lanterns were still on. I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. Dongfang Yan sighed: "I knew that if I didn't come out with you like this, I wouldn't go over the wall." Qiu Yinming said: "I'm carrying you," Before the words were finished, Dongfang Yan shook his head again and again: "No way, no way." He rolled up his sleeves and knocked on the door again, shouting, "Is there anyone?" Open the door—" shouted a few times, only to hear someone in the door say vaguely, "Close the door, come back tomorrow." Dongfang Yan put his hand on his waist, hung his head and said, "What should I do?" Qiu Yinming tugged at the sleeves of his robe, pulled him under the side wall, and said, "Let's go in from here, you listen to me, don't make a sound." Without waiting for Dongfang Yan to answer, he grabbed Dongfang Yan and stomped on his feet, and the two of them had already gone up the wall. Dongfang Yan said "hey" for a while, his feet were on the ground, his heart was weak, and his feet were weak, and he almost sat down. Qiu Yinming saw that his eyes were wide open and his breath was not calm, and he said in a low voice: "Yu Jing, are you okay?" Dongfang Yan said: "It's okay." It's not the first time I've been on the wall. Qiu Yinming was surprised: "There are still people who ......?" Dongfang Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who else is there besides my sister?" Last time I was at home, and this time I went to Beijing to take the exam. It's going to be famous. Qiu Yinming said: "Don't worry." Let's go. Next time, we'll hand in the papers during the day. The two of them touched the staircase lightly, and when they went upstairs and entered the house, they couldn't help but laugh.

February 15 was the last of the examination, and all the candidates and officials and guards were somewhat tired, but the examination on the ninth day was coming to an end, and the atmosphere in the Gongyuan was much more relaxed. Most of the proctors were reluctant to move back and forth, sitting on benches and basking in the sun. The third test is about economic and historical policies, and there is nothing to cheat on.

Qiu Yinming is more and more handy every game, his pen is moist and free. The hour flew by, and when he finished sorting out the five articles and looked up, it was already the middle of the month. On the fifteenth night, the moon was as bright as a mirror, just sandwiched between the eaves of the house and the wall in front of it, like a trapped box. He sat in his room and watched the moon disappear. Recalling her mother's wish when she was a child, she has now embarked on this road by mistake, and if she is really admitted, she will be able to fulfill her wish. After this sudden examination, he seems to have really integrated into countless students seeking officials, and there is an indescribable temptation in this cold trumpet room...... Wandering until the moon moved past the corner of the house.

At dawn, the two of them went out of the Gongyuan together, did not mention each other about the exam, returned to the inn to freshen up, and after breakfast, let Mozhu drive, out of the city to the west mountain. In the capital, I have already heard that Xishan has many wins, and although the two of them have their own hearts after the exam, they both want to disperse the fatigue of sitting in the number room for days, so they drove out, leaving two darts in the city to wait for news.

When they reached the West Mountain, the three of them left the carriage at a farm and roamed on foot. The hillside is short and fluffy, the ditch is full of yellow flowers, and the branches of the trees are tender and green and full of vitality. There are still more than ten days before the list, so I stayed in an ancient temple in the mountains, went out to listen to the morning bell, and returned in the evening. Singing the wind and admiring the moon, tasting tea and composing poems, it is very happy. There is not a word about the list. But after all, I have to go back to the city. After staying in the temple for ten days, the three of them went down the mountain and returned to the capital.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I looked through the car window and it seemed to be very lively. The carriage gradually moved towards the downtown area, and I saw many people who participated in the examination and the supervisors were talking in groups, some crying and laughing, as if there was something important. Is it already on the list? The two of them were nervous and did not speak to each other. Dongfang Yan clasped his hands together, his face pressed against the car window and looked out, Qiu Yinming kept rubbing his clothes and pricking up his ears. I heard someone in the crowd: "You know what? The new branch will be surnamed Dongfang, what is Dongfang Yan. Qiu Yinming hurriedly pushed Dongfang Yan and said, "Hey, Yu Jing, I heard that you took the first exam." Dongfang Yan opened his mouth wide: "Really?" It's true? At this time, Mo Zhu turned around and said, "Wang Darttou is here!" Dongfang Yan opened the curtain of the car, and sure enough, Wang Dart beckoned to him.

Wang Darttou ran forward and said happily: "Young Master, Young Master Qiu, you are all hit!" The young master will be the yuan of high school, and the sixth tribute of the young master of Qiu. Dongfang Yan said excitedly to Qiu Yinming: "Grandpa must be very happy to know." Qiu Yinming was speechless at this time, nodded and said, "Yes." "It seemed too sudden for him. Wang Darttou said again: "The place where the list is crowded to death, I don't think you still have to go." Dongfang Yan said: "Then, Mozhu, let's go back to the inn." "Okay. Drive! Mozhu was also very happy, and the horsewhip sounded crisply in the air.

When they arrived at the inn, as soon as the two got out of the car, they heard the guy in the hall shouting: "Master Hui is here!" The people around immediately stopped and looked back, and Dongfang Yan was a little embarrassed. Some of the candidates passing by also gathered around, chatting and chattering.

"Hey, who is Huiyuan?" Someone asked.

"Well, that's the skinny one." I don't know who said it. Dongfang Yan felt strange, how did they know themselves. Another humane: "Sure enough, it's a talent." Maybe I'm going to win the top prize again. Someone next to him interjected: "What about the one with him?" "I got it, too. Sixth place. Qiu Yinming caught a glimpse of the guy talking there energetically, and the guy said: "This year, there are five tributes in our store!" ”

Qiu Yinming pulled Dongfang Yan's sleeve and said, "Yu Jing, there is a lot of trouble now, let's go up quickly." The two walked quickly through the store, only to hear the fat man's account room voice say very loudly: "Congratulations to the two! "As soon as I entered the room, there was a knock on the door not long after it closed. Before Qiu Yinming opened the door and spoke, the two lifters stepped forward and said, "We also live in this inn, and I heard that the two of you are from high school, and we are here to pay a visit." "Are you ......?" Qiu Yinming asked. "Our two brothers are from Kaifeng, Henan." The man's Henan accent was extremely strong, "He is also a tribute on the list." If the two brothers are free, can you give me one or two? Dongfang Yan walked over and said, "Since you are friends with the same science, it's better to come in and sit down." The two Henan people thanked each other and entered the house, Dongfang Yan asked Mozhu to bring tea, and the four of them sat around and chatted casually for a while, nothing more than their resumes.

After the two of them said goodbye, Dongfang Yan said: "The palace exam hasn't been taken yet, so it's so troublesome." ”

Qiu Yinming stood by the window with his hands in his sleeves and said, "Yu Jing, in my opinion, you are going to be the champion, so make some preparations first." ”

It hadn't been quiet for a long time when there was another knock on the door. Qiu Yinming said with a smile: "There are five tributes in this inn, I saw two just now, and there is still one missing." When I opened the door, I saw that it was an official. The official messenger showed the official document of the Ministry of Rites and handed it to him: "On the first day of March, the first hall test, here is the document for the two of you." Qiu Yinming took the two documents and said to the official: "Thank you." He found another piece of broken silver and the official errand. The official said with a smile: "I wish the two gold list titles." "Le Zizi went. When I opened the paperwork, it turned out that I had to go to the Ministry of Rites to learn the etiquette of entering the palace the day before the palace exam, and it seemed that I was busy this time.
