Listening to Yuqiong's words, I nodded slightly, this is really a bit similar to those exams in later generations, and the national examination is not also to take the written test first, according to a certain proportion of the interview, and then select the right candidate, although there is some understanding, but this procedure still has to make an appearance for others to see.

"Yuqiong, do you know that I have to stay in this tribute courtyard for the past three days, or do I say that I go in in the morning and come out at night?" I couldn't help but ask again.

"All the bedding in the examination room in this tribute courtyard also has food, hunger and thirst are self-satisfied, sleepy and sleepy, but they are not allowed to go out of this tribute courtyard for three days." Yuqiong's answer was fluent.

Listening to Yuqiong's words, I couldn't help but take a long breath, I can't get out of this tribute courtyard for three days, and I eat and drink Lazar are all in this tribute courtyard, I'll go, what's the difference between this and squatting in prison?

Yuqiong looked at me with a wooden expression, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Bi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's fine. I turned my head and smiled at her.

As he spoke, there were already three or five people in official uniforms standing at the gate of the Gongyuan, and one of the leaders was holding a book in his hand, which looked like it should be a roster or something, seeing this, Yuqiong whispered in my ear, King Ming had sent someone to report his name and age and other information before, and it should be on this book.

I nodded, didn't speak, and listened quietly to the man's name.

Originally, nearly 10,000 people were crowded in front of the gate of the Gongyuan, and the noise could naturally overwhelm everything, but since these people appeared in front of the door, it became silent in just a moment. There was no other sound than the voice of the person who called the name and the answer of the person who was called.

The man shouted over one by one, but there were so many scholars in front of him, not to mention calling for a day, even if he shouted for three days and three nights, he might not be able to call them all.

"Bi Ran......!" Just as I was thinking about it, the bright voice finally called out my name, and I immediately answered loudly.

"Brother Bi, come in!" As soon as Yuqiong heard the man call my name, she also opened her mouth and urged softly.

"Hmm." I nodded, and turned my head to look at Situ Hong and Mo Lu on the side. "Wife. Senior Mo, you should go back first, since this exam will take three days, you can stay at home. Wait for the good news of my triumphant return! ”

"Husband. Be careful yourself. Situ Hong looked at me. Biting his lip, he said with concern.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Don't worry, Bi Gongzi, I will take care of Miss Situ." Mo Lu also said busily.

"Then thank you Senior Mo." I clenched my fists, turned around and squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

Whoever is called by name must go into this temple first. However, when you get started, you will get a small wooden plaque the size of a palm, which is engraved with the name, age, place of origin and other information of the person taking the exam, and of course, this also includes the information of the exam room.

I received the small wooden plaque and walked into the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, my eyes suddenly opened up, and it was a different scene in front of me.

The main entrance is opposite a gable, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the wall is engraved with the swastika of Buddhism, turn around and cross the gable, what appears in front of you is a yard the size of half a football field, the courtyard is planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, the early spring is the time when everything recovers, those flowers and trees are more or less emerging some buds, it looks green but very vibrant, after stepping into the door, there are people in official uniforms to lead the way, I just followed the person and walked inside.

Walking all the way down the winding corridor, I came to the door of an extremely large room, and the man gestured to me, and I understood, and walked in.

This room looks like a lecture hall in a university, except that the lecture hall has a slope, but the floor in this room is flat, and there are four large beams and pillars in the room, which looks like a large auditorium.

There were no tables, chairs and benches in the room, and the people who arrived first were all standing in all directions, and occasionally a few people got together and whispered something, and it was obvious that they knew each other well so they got together.

Everyone is only here for the imperial examination, and to a certain extent, they can be regarded as competitors, and since I came to the capital, I have never contacted anyone who participated in the imperial examination, so although I am in the tribute courtyard at this time, it seems that I have come to a strange place.

"Bi Gongzi ......!" Just when I was bored, a shout suddenly sounded behind me, and as soon as I turned around, I saw a familiar figure, it was Bai Ruyi.

Bai Ruyi was still wearing a white robe, looking very clean, and still holding a folding fan in his hand, and was slowly walking towards me at this time.

"Brother Bai, you ...... Also coming to take the imperial examination? I looked at Bai Ruyi in front of me in some surprise, and couldn't help asking, I remember that Bai Ruyi told me before that he was a traveling doctor, could it be that he still has a hidden identity?

"Hehehehe...... I didn't come to participate in the imperial examination, I just took a look at it casually." Bai Ruyi said, turning his head and looking around.

"Feel free to take a look?" When I heard it, I was dumbfounded, this is not in the street market of the capital, this is the Gongyuan, take a look at it at random? Do you really think you're shopping for clothes?

"When did Bi Gongzi come in?" Bai Ruyi asked casually, but his eyes looked at the small wooden card in my hand.

"Just came in." I replied casually, but my mind was still wondering why he was here.

Bai Ruyi looked at me in a daze, and said with a smile: "I have some friends in this tribute courtyard, so I can naturally come in." ”

"Oh." I knew that this was just a perfunctory remark, so I responded casually and stopped thinking about it.

Bai Ruyi looked around, then leaned over to me and asked softly, "Master Bi, is the killer still in Bifu?" ”

"Kill the woman?" I was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood.

I remember that Bai Ruyi had visited Bifu before, but he didn't come to me, but to find Mo Lu, when Bai Ruyi left, I asked Mo Lu what he came for, Mo Lu actually gave a jaw-dropping answer, Bai Ruyi fell in love with the killing woman, but then I thought about it carefully but didn't feel anything, the children of the rivers and lakes are also flesh and blood, the so-called radish and green vegetables have their own love, Bai Ruyi looks at the killing of the woman is also reasonable, However, I haven't seen them since the last time the four evil gods followed the wolf eyes back to Peach Blossom Village, and when Bai Ruyi asked me, I really didn't know how to answer.

"Well......, in fact, they have already returned to Peach Blossom Village." I replied softly.

"Hmm." To my surprise, Bai Ruyi didn't show great surprise when he heard my answer, but just nodded slightly, with a look that he had already known.

"Cousin......!" Just when I was surprised, there was another timid shout behind me.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw a girl who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old running towards me, followed by a strong man.

The girl's pale pink muslin just rightly set off the liveliness of a little girl of her age, coupled with a short hairpin inserted in her jet-black hair, the bangs on her forehead danced in the wind, and the two strands of long hair in her ears were even more flowing in the wind, which looked extremely lively and cute, but I looked at her and the strong man who followed closely behind me and felt a little familiar.

"Huh? This little girl...... Where do I wish I had seen it? I muttered to myself.

The girl ran to Bai Ruyi, and the strong man also followed, and the strong man hurriedly saluted Bai Ruyi as soon as he arrived, but Bai Ruyi waved his hand to stop his salute.

"Cousin, why don't you wait for me to come?" The girl stood still and looked up at Bai Ruyi in front of her, and there was a bit of complaint in her tone.

Bai Ruyi looked at her happily and said, "I didn't wait for you, didn't you chase after you too?" ”

"Humph!" The girl snorted disapprovingly, turned her head and said no more.
