I looked at the little girl with a perverse personality in front of me, and couldn't help but look at Bai Ruyi and asked softly, "Brother Bai, is this ......?" ”

"She is my aunt's cousin, she has been willful since she was a child, don't mind Bi Gongzi!" Bai Ruyi replied with a smile.

"No, no." I couldn't help but glance at the little witch again, and hurriedly answered.

It wasn't until then that the girl seemed to see me, and couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Bi Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

"I'm here to participate in the imperial examination, so naturally I'll be here, ......, hey, ......? Do you know this girl below? I couldn't help but ask.

"Why don't you remember, Bi Gongzi, I came to Bifu last time!" The girl looked at me with a smile on her face and said.

Ever been to Bifu? As soon as I heard her words, I couldn't help but look at it, this little girl and the strong man standing behind her did make me feel a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them, at this time, let this girl remind me, and suddenly I had a little impression in my head, aren't the two of them the girl and the strong man who jumped into the Bifu compound from the wall last time? I still remember what she said about her sister and who was her sister? Do I know each other?

"Remember, aren't you the girl who came to Bifu last time?" I patted my head and spoke.

"Ha Lu Ha ......, I said that Bi Gongzi will not be a noble person who forgets things, and my sister also said that Bi Gongzi is very good!" The girl said with an innocent face.

"Your sister?" I couldn't help muttering to myself, turning my head to look at Bai Ruyi on the side.

This is the second time I've heard her say her sister. Last time, she left in a hurry, and I didn't allow me to ask her, but now she is in the Gongyuan, and there is her cousin Bai Ruyi by her side, I really want to know who her sister is!

Bai Ruyi didn't seem to see me looking at him, smiled slightly and took the girl's hand, "Cousin, the exam here is about to start, we should also go." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me, smiled apologetically and said, "Master Bi, I'll leave first." ”

"Uh....... Good. I replied casually.

Bai Ruyi also ignored me anymore. Pulling the girl to turn around and leave, she stopped and turned to look at me as soon as she took a step: "Bi Gongzi, have you ever read Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching"? ”

The Tao Te Ching is the Tao Te Ching, but it's just another way of saying it. I listened to his question with some smugness. Reflexively replied, "Yes." ”

"That's good." Bai Ruyi smiled faintly again. pulled the girl away, and the strong man behind him followed the two of them without falling behind, but the distance between him and Bai Ruyi was deliberately separated by a while.

Looking at the back of the three of them leaving, my heart still couldn't help but be magnificent. It is indeed true that there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this capital, but it should not be an ordinary person who can enter this tribute hospital, and I am really beginning to have some doubts about the identity of the You Yilang who Bai Ruyi gave me before, and a You Yilang can enter this tribute hospital in a big way?

There were quite a few more people walking into this huge room as I was talking, and when I looked around, I realized that there were probably no less than a thousand people in this enclosed space now.

"Be quiet, be quiet!" As I looked around, a man in a blue-black robe and a black black hat stood at the top of the room, shouting to the crowd, and the whole room became silent in an instant.

The man looked around for a while and then said aloud: "Listen, all the candidates, due to the large number of people who entered Beijing to take the exam this time, the pre-examination of this hall is divided into three times, and the people in this room are considered the first batch, and the rest of the people will be divided into two batches ......." ”

Before the man's voice fell, the scholars in the entire room couldn't help but whisper.

When the man saw the noise again, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Silence......." In an instant, the surroundings fell silent again, and the man continued: "Although the exam is divided into three batches, the exam questions are different, so you don't have to worry about the suspicion of plagiarism. After a pause, his eyes glanced around at everyone present, and a faint majesty was undoubtedly revealed, and the man continued: "Now take care of the wooden cards in your hands, walk out of this room in turn, there are the same examination rooms on both sides of the door, and enter the examination room according to the number on your wooden cards, and prepare for the exam!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the room.

There was a large wooden door in the corner, and the wooden door was carved with a statue of the god, and I couldn't tell who the statue was when I made it carefully, but I thought about it, since this tribute courtyard was designated by the emperor, then this statue must be unusual.

As soon as the man's words fell, a scholar turned around and walked out of this huge room, and I hurriedly followed everyone out of the room, and in a short time stood outside the door of this room.

I only saw the scene outside when I stood outside the door, and it was completely different when I followed up to this tribute courtyard, the rows of houses in front of me were divided into small rooms, each small room was only about two meters high and about one meter five wide, each room was completely separated from the other, and I couldn't see the situation next door at all, there was no door in front of the small room, but there was a small wooden table and a bamboo chair simply, and all the examination supplies such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. needed had already been placed on the wooden table, and on the front of the wooden table were written with a vermilion pen. The number corresponds to the number written on the small wooden sign in our hand.

I glanced at my little wooden sign and walked all the way to the third row of houses, where I finally found my own exam room in the middle.

I walked into this cubicle without saying a word, and instantly felt the comfort of this cubicle, to be honest, the height and width were just right for my body type, and the most unexpected thing was that there was a small wooden bed behind this small wooden table and small bamboo chair, and the wooden bed was fully furnished, and it could be seen that we candidates had to sleep in this cubicle for three days.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all of us candidates found our own examination rooms, and all of us sat down in them, and in an instant the entire examination room was quiet again.

It shouldn't be too late, but this is the best time for the exam, I remember that when I was a student, this was the time when I had the best memory for the exam, don't be late and I won't be able to remember anything.

Just when I was wondering, someone walked past my small table, and the man walked without stopping, and when he walked past my small table, he casually put down a small note the width of a palm, on which was written a paragraph: If you are not virtuous, make the people not fight; Inexpensive and rare goods, so that the people will not be thieves; If you don't see what you want, the people's hearts will not be disturbed. It is the rule of a saint, who is humble in his heart and solid in his belly; Weak ambition, strong bones. It often makes the people ignorant and desireless, and makes the husband dare not do it. If you do nothing, you will not be cured.

I know that this passage is from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", "Tao Te Ching" is divided into "Tao Classic" and "Tao Te Ching" two books, which summarize the essence of Lao Tzu's life, and can be regarded as an ancient classic, and the passage written on the note is from the third chapter of the "Tao Te Ching", and the central idea summarized is the idea of governing the country and the people 'ruling by doing nothing', which can be regarded as a classic.

It is really not confusing to regard this passage as a question for the imperial examination.

It's just that...... Before, why did Bai Ruyi ask me if I had read the Tao Te Ching? Could it be that he already knew that the Dao would take the exam?

I carefully looked at the small note in my hand, and couldn't help but read it silently again in my heart.

According to the examination of the township examination I took before I entered Beijing to catch the exam, this question is nothing more than to let us scholars who only read the books of sages and sages be able to look at the overall situation, and be able to judge the situation and comment on the principles and policies of governing the country, and by the way, put forward some opinions, although the opinions we put forward may not enter the eyes of the people in power, but the officials who read the papers are all in the eyes, who has real talent and who is the embroidered pillow can be seen at a glance, just like Bole Soma, if you really find a talented person, not only the emperor is happy, Even the officials who read the papers will be commended at that time, so it is not difficult to say that this topic is difficult, but it is not easy to say that it is simple at all.

This note is just written with such a paragraph.,There is neither a requirement for solving the problem nor a limit on the number of words.,It's just an open-ended question.,How can I answer it?!

As I pondered the question, the sound of grinding ink could already be heard in the surrounding cubicles.

The slight sound of grinding ink made me a little anxious.

People are like this, the environment around them can affect their thinking and style of doing things, they were originally very creative about doing their own things, but after being disturbed by the outside world, they will change their minds and lose their rationality.

After a moment's thought, I raised my hand to pick up the brush on the wooden table, then gently grinded the ink, and raised my hand to start writing.
