Chapter Thirty-Six: The First One Comes Out
In the Gongyuan, the candidates stood upright.
There were also soldiers around.
Above, the three examiners said some rules of the examination room and some matters of the imperial examination.
In addition, the chief examiner, Shuntianfu Yin, is also the chief invigilator this time.
and two deputy examiners, leading a group of invigilators, promotions, curtain officers and other personnel, responsible for managing the examination room.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, everything is ready, and the official will issue the seat number corresponding to the candidate.
The examination room is divided into several areas such as heaven and earth, Xuanhuang, universe, and flood.
The number plate assigned to Chen Xiao's hand is the eighteenth number of the word ground, to be honest, it is really unlucky.
He glanced at the Imperial Capital Mansion Yin, who was the chief examiner, and pursed his lips, thinking that he must have done it.
They all took the number plates, so they went to the small room where they took the exam.
To be honest, this examination room is like a small cell, but it is not so scary, and it is very small, one person is a small room, after entering, put down the plank, and can only face outward, sitting for the exam.
Because the first test is three days, there are candles, toilets, and so on.
The food is all steamed bread and flatbread that I brought by myself.
Chen Xiao sat in the room and began to wait.
After a long time, there were finally officials who made curls.
The Dragon Kingdom is similar to the ancient times of China, and it also relies on the content of some sage books left by the ancient sages.
I don't want to talk about it here, and Chen Xiao doesn't understand it very well.
He got the test paper, looked at the questions, and said to the system in his heart: "System, open the virtual interface." β
With a ding, the virtual interface like the old man's machine appeared.
"Open the first answer ...... of the imperial examination township examination"
So, on the screen, articles appeared one after another.
Chen Xiao took a look at it and had to admit that although he didn't understand it very well, the article corresponded to the question of the test paper, which was really good.
So, he picked up the pen and looked at the font of the title on the test paper.
The title is a very regular regular script, which is not a big problem for Chen Xiao, and he can write it slowly and beautifully.
Anyway, he copied the answer, and he didn't have to think about it, so he copied it slowly, and he must have done it quickly.
So, looking at the answer to the article given by the system, Chen Xiao picked up the brush and wrote slowly.
However, at this time, almost all candidates are still thinking about it.
Time passed little by little, Chen Xiao copied the answers on the system board on the white paper, little by little.
Soon, the day passed.
In the evening, the candles are lit, and everyone is writing and thinking about it from time to time.
Chen Xiao is the only one who has been writing slowly, without stopping to think.
It was late at night, and some of the candidates were ready to rest.
Chen Xiao also put down the pen, immediately put away the test papers, and fell asleep on the simple wooden bed in the back.
The next day, at dawn, he continued to write.
By the afternoon, several sheets of paper were full, just right, and the answers were copied.
I took a closer look at a few test papers, and the answers given by the system, there must be no typos, as for the article, in the process of writing, Chen Xiao probably remembered it, it was indeed a good article.
So he took the test papers, got up and left the examination room.
As soon as he came out, a soap officer on duty next to him spoke: "What's the matter?" β
Chen Xiao said: "Oh, I'm done answering the question!" β
"So fast?" The soap officer was also surprised, he had been on duty here for so many years, and he had never seen a candidate complete the answer sheet in more than a day.
So he said, "Don't look closer? β
"No need!" Chen Xiao said.
The soapman shook his head, thinking to himself that this guy couldn't even see the results, and the broken jar was broken.
So he took Chen Xiao to the entrance of the lobby in front of the examination room and handed over the test papers to several examiners.
The chief examiner, Shuntianfu Yin, glanced at Chen Xiao, his face was expressionless, but he thought in his heart, if you hand in the paper so quickly, you won't be able to pass the exam without having to mess with you.
"Alright, you're good to go!" Shuncheon Fu Yin said.
Chen Xiao was also expressionless, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the Gong Courtyard.
Outside the Gongyuan, tens of thousands of people surrounded every day in the past two days, most of them were family members of candidates, and some watched the excitement.
Basically, it is impossible for candidates to come out in the first two days, and they all start at noon on the third day, and people will hand in their papers one after another.
And the first to submit the paper is often the most concerned.
It's just that today is different, it was only the afternoon of the second day, and there was already a candidate who came out of it with a swagger.
Everyone on the lookers was surprised, came out so quickly? Did you go to the exam or did you go for the night?
Chen Xiao didn't care about everyone's eyes, and when he came out, he saw Long Jiuling with an umbrella in the distance.
When Long Jiuling saw Chen Xiao coming out, he hurriedly came over and hugged Chen Xiao's arm and said, "Why is it so fast?" Don't...... Question difficult? β
Originally, Chen Xiao came out so quickly, which was already a lot of attention, but now, with such a beautiful woman who is intimate with him, many people are simply jealous.
Chen Xiao ignored the surrounding discussions and said to Long Jiuling:
"This time I was very sure, because the answers were very beautiful and the thinking was very clear, so I did it quickly."
"Wow, awesome!" Long Jiuling was very happy.
Chen Xiao smiled and went back to the restaurant with Long Jiuling.
β¦β¦
The next day, a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume also slowly came out.
It was only noon, and he was confident that he must be the first to come out, so with a smile on his face, he walked confidently, and his hands were behind his back, not to mention how much he was doing.
However, he kept walking out of the Tribute Courtyard, and the people outside didn't seem to have much admiration and shock.
This made him a little disappointed and confused.
At this time, a woman and a scholar stepped forward, and the woman said happily: "Pingzhi, you are out!" β
The scholar also said, "Congratulations to the young master, the second one has come out." β
The man frowned: "The second one? β
"Well, there was a candidate named Chen Xiao yesterday, who came out in the afternoon." The woman spoke.
The man's face changed, and he was a little unhappy.
β¦β¦
The next day, the second exam will begin.
Thousands of candidates arrived outside the Gong Academy, and everyone was chatting with each other.
Some of the candidates gathered around a man, and some of them spoke:
"Li Pingzhi, I heard that you were the second to come out yesterday? Awesome! β
Another scholar said: "Brother Ping is only eight buckets high, and it is normal for the second one to come out, but I heard that the first kid who came out handed in the paper a day in advance, which is ...... It's a little unbelievable! β
"I guess I can't do it, so give up, but clown, haha......"
When everyone was laughing, someone pointed to Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling not far away:
"Look, it's him, what's Chen Xiao's name."
"Huh? The beauty next to this kid is so beautiful! β
Li Pingzhi looked at Long Jiuling, his eyes lit up, he couldn't help but shake his fan, and walked up.
"Compared to this, it's Brother Chen Xiao, right? I heard that you were the first to come out, under Li Pingzhi, the second to come out! β
He held his head high, deliberately bit the second one very hard, and his eyes were placed on Long Jiu Ling, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Xiao frowned, dissatisfied with his unscrupulous look at his fiancΓ©e's eyes and pretending to be forced, so he said:
"You are the second, in front of me, you are quite proud?"
