The incident of Shangyuan Night only added a little more luster to Chu Zhi's already considerable fame, and it did not have much impact, but it was just to add some talking points to the people of Bianliang City.

After two days, the matter slowly subsided, the White Bird Academy also reopened, and Chu Zhen and Chu Jue also began to devote themselves to intense study.

In the blink of an eye, the children's examination period is coming, Tokyo is a prosperous place, there are naturally more candidates, there are more than a dozen examination rooms in Kaifeng City alone, under the organization and arrangement of the academy, the students of the academy return to the local government office according to their household registration to register, and Chu Zhen and Chu Jue, Gao Shilin all live in the east of the city, after the arrangement of the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, it is natural to participate in the children's examination in the east of the city, and I don't know if it is a coincidence or the official unified arrangement, the three of them happen to be in the same examination room.

Before the sky was fully bright, Chu Mansion was already busy, Chu Zhen and Chu Jue had already washed up, had eaten meals, and stood in the front yard energetically, their expressions seemed to be a little nervous and excited.

"Jue'er, don't be nervous, how do you take the exam on weekdays, how to take the exam now." Wang admonished, his eyes revealing concern.

"Don't worry, the child understands." Chu Jue nodded seriously, but his expression was far less calm than what he said.

Relatively speaking, Chu Zhen looked much more leisurely, with a warm smile on his face, as if he was not going to the examination room, but to play outside, it was so relaxed and freehand.

"Remember to come back sooner." Mrs. Hui said softly, with a bright smile on her face, and stretched out her slender hand to carefully smooth the creases of the clothes on Chu Zhi's body.

Chu Zhen smiled and nodded, looked at the hour, and greeted slightly: "Wenyu, we should also go, and the government will count the number of people and identify the students later." ”

In the ancient imperial examinations, in order to prevent candidates from impersonating, when the students who took the examination were allowed to protect each other, the government would also find some small officials such as Lizheng near the candidates' homes to recognize people, of course, there were also cases of negligence, as long as they were willing to spend money, everything was possible, as long as there was an exam, cheating was absolutely prohibited.

"Mother, the child is gone." Chu Jue said softly, lifting a small bamboo basket, the bamboo basket was naturally filled with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other study utensils, and went out with Chu Qian, Wang and Mrs. Hui naturally followed to the bottom of the steps outside the door, and watched the two leave until they couldn't see their figures.

"Are they gone?" After a while, Chu Luo appeared outside the door.

The examination room is located in the Baishui Academy on Chengdong Street, the courtyard is very spacious, the tall trees are thick, the environment is very elegant, when Chu Zhen and Chu Jue came here, the outside of the academy was already crowded with students who came to participate in the children's examination, after two hours of counting and identification, the sky has turned white, it is the time when the sun is shining, but the hour has not yet arrived, and the yacha guarding the gate of the Baishui Academy does not allow any students to enter.

Looking at the candidates crowded in front of the academy, Chu Zhen did not step forward to join in the fun, and said hello to Gao Shilin, who was still queuing up for a roll call, and then found a lush tree in front of the academy with Chu Jue, leaning on the thick trunk leisurely, enjoying the refreshing air that came slightly.

"You're so chic." After receiving the sign from the official that allowed him to enter the examination room, Gao Shilin walked over with a spring breeze on his face and complained: "I was waiting there for a long time, but you are here to be comfortable, it is really unpleasant." ”

"Who made you late?" Chu Jue said stiffly.

After a few laughs and conversations, the three of them were leisurely waiting for the examination room to open, and at this moment, a person dressed as a scribe in Tsing Yi seemed to be a little sneaky and approached the three of them, cautiously glanced at the surrounding environment, and noticed that no one was paying attention to the situation here. ”

"What's the matter with Brother Tai?" Chu Zhi straightened up and said politely.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't answer, his pupils turned around a few times, he deliberately turned his body sideways, blocked the sight behind him, gently took out a small notebook from his arms, piled up a weird smile on his face, and whispered: "I don't know if the son dares to be interested in this thing?" ”

What is it? It was so mysterious, the three of them were also a little curious, Chu Zhen directly reached out and took the small book, opened it lightly, and saw that the small book was densely packed with small characters copied in small letters, the content was closely related to the children's test, all of them were scripture sentences, and the most surprising thing for Chu Zhen was that there were actually a few classic Shiwen strategies at the end of the small book.

No wonder the person in front of him is so awkward, it turns out that he is not a student who came to take the exam, but a student who came to do business, Chu Zhen chuckled in his heart, and weighed the small book in his hand, the cheat sheet really has a long history.

"How do you calculate the price?" Gao Shilin asked curiously, revealing a strange smile.

"If you want a single book, it will cost 30,000 yuan, and if you want all three sons, you can pay 27,000 yuan for a book." The people in Tsing Yi were overjoyed and said softly, it really means that there is no deception.

"The price is reasonable, but I don't know if I can use it." Chu Zhen said with a smile, idle is also idle, and it is good to inquire about some interesting stories.

"Naturally, it can be used, not boasting, this collection is made ......." The man in Tsing Yi sold hard in a subtle voice, and at the end patted his chest and promised: "If the son can't use it by then, even if he comes to me to return the goods, the silver money will be returned to the son as it is, and there will be compensation." ”

"Let me think about it." Chu Zhen showed a little emotion, and seemed to be a little worried: "What if people find out?" ”

"As long as Childe is cautious, who can find out." The people in Tsing Yi looked at their faces, tried their best to dispel the doubts of the forestry industry, and said like a river: "Most of the students who take the exam already have this set, if the three sons don't have it, it will be a loss." ”

"That's right." Chu Zhen seemed a little hesitant, carefully observing the situation nearby, and really found some clues, some lonely students, in front of them were quietly pointing fingers and gesturing with someone who looked a little sneaky like the people in Tsing Yi.

At this moment, after three gongs, the door of the examination room was opened, and several officials shouted loudly, asking the students in front of the door to show signs and enter the examination room in an orderly manner.

"Can the three sons think clearly?" The man in Tsing Yi asked a little anxiously.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Chu Zhen whispered: "We do intend to buy this thing, but unfortunately we are shy in our pockets, so it's better to ask Brother Tai to pay on credit first, and when I can wait for Zhongxiucai, I will not forget Brother Tai's grace today." ”

When the people in Tsing Yi heard this, their faces suddenly became a little unnatural, they snatched back the set, glanced at the three of them, turned around and left without saying a word, and secretly cursed in their hearts, although they were just a guy, but the people in Tsing Yi still had some eyesight, looking at the appearance of the three people, it was clear that they were the sons of big families, how could they lack money and silver, and the words of credit were just looking for their own happiness.

"Brother Tai, in fact, we are very sincere, you might as well think about it again." Gao Shilin deliberately raised his voice and shouted, attracting the inexplicable gaze of many students nearby.

"No kidding, the hour is about the same, we should go in too." Chu Zhen said with a smile, looking for fun, the mood was really adjusted, much more relaxed, Gao Shilin and Chu Jue naturally had no objections, took out the sign, and the three of them slowly entered the examination room under the inspection of the officials.

Unlike the strict inspection system in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the Song Dynasty, it was relatively simple, and the officials guarding the door just turned the bamboo baskets in the hands of the students at will to see if there was any cheating in them, and let them in without searching their bodies at all.

In the Baishui Academy, which was requisitioned as an examination room, several school buildings have been refurbished and divided into several areas, and the desks and desks are arranged in an orderly and orderly manner.

"Caiqing, Wenyu, see you later." Stepping into the examination room, encouraging each other a few words, Chu Zhen smiled lightly, waved goodbye to the two, and under the leadership of a servant, he walked to the house on the right with a few students.

After coming to his own bookcase and sitting down, Chu Zhen lifted the bamboo basket, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone inside and put it on the desk, and then, like other students, silently waited for the arrival of the examiner.

After a while, a person who looked like an official from outside the house opened his mouth to admonish the students in the house to answer seriously and not to cheat, and then bowed respectfully with the students to the portrait of Confucius hanging on the wall of the house, and after hearing a few gongs and drums from outside the house, he carefully opened the sealed boy test in his hand.

After taking the exam paper, Chu Zhen carefully browsed it, and after a while, he showed a little relaxation, settled down, and did not answer in a hurry, but dripped the ink that had been ground into the inkstone, and a refreshing ink fragrance immediately rushed into his nose, worthy of being Pan Gumo, who was satisfied with the world, Chu Zhen secretly praised in his heart, lifted the Zhao Wenxiu pen on the bookcase, lightly dipped in ink, breathed slowly, and freely filled in his own information on the white rice paper.

Wait for all the information to be filled in, before starting to officially answer, the scriptures are written in ink, and the poems are pasted, which is very simple for Chu Qian, it doesn't take much time, the exam paper has been answered, Chu Zhen carefully reviewed it several times, corrected some mistakes, confirmed that there was no omission, and his heart was completely relaxed, and he looked at the hourglass on the examiner's case, and found that it was only three hours later.

Although the hour was early, Chu Zhen was not in the mood to stay any longer, looking back, he found that there were already a few fewer students in the house, since there was a precedent, Chu Zhen no longer hesitated, stepped forward to hand in the papers, and under the guidance of the officials, slowly walked out of the examination room with three steps and one guard, five steps and one post.
