On the ninth day of August in the 14th year of Hongzhi, it was a memorable day for all the students who participated in the township examination in the Ming Dynasty, because they were about to participate in a fateful examination. If it doesn't work, you'll have to go back and wait three years to come back.

No one wants to waste another three years, so they're all bound to win!

But now there are 3,000 people participating in the township examination, but only more than 100 people can pass the examination, and more than 3,000 people will inevitably fail in each subject, but even so, thousands of people will come here in the third year.

Although He Zhiyuan had already memorized the pre-written exam papers, he was still nervous the night before the exam. Now history has changed a lot by him, and he can't guarantee that the wings of his little butterfly will stir up the change of the township exam questions this time. If you really deviate from the original historical track, then your own examination will inevitably become a laughing stock in history.

He Zhiyuan went to bed as soon as it was dark, and he told Yin Lifu to wake him up at the end of the ugly hour tomorrow morning. I lay down on the bed and began to sleep, but I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep well in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but when I seemed to be asleep, I started dreaming again, dreaming that I was assigned to a "stinky number", and there was a smell of shame and stinkness all around. He Zhiyuan hurriedly put on the prepared Ming Dynasty "mask", not only did not reduce the smell, but the smell became stronger. It turns out that the Ming Dynasty also had counterfeit and shoddy products! He Zhiyuan said in his heart, then bear with it, fortunately, he doesn't need to use his brain, he just needs to write down the words he is familiar with.

But when he opened the exam paper, he found that the exam questions in this subject were completely different from what he had prepared, and he had to hand in a blank paper with his eight-strand waste material! He was anxious and remorseful. used to boast about Haikou in front of his parents and Lord Liang, but now he wants to become the laughing stock of scientific research!

Just when he was anxious and remorseful, in the haze he heard a knock on the door, and then heard Yin Lifu shouting outside: "Master, the time is up!" ”

After He Zhiyuan heard Yin Lifu's shout, he immediately got up from the bed, and then responded: "I know, you go down first and ask the store to order food." ”

Subsequently, He Zhiyuan began to get dressed. It didn't take long for He Zhiyuan to get dressed, and when Yin Lifu knocked on the door again, He Zhiyuan immediately opened the door, and Yin Lifu walked in with a food box in one hand and a lantern in the other. By the light of the light, I saw He Zhiyuan wearing a jade-colored square scarf on his head, wearing a corn-colored straight jacket, and foundation soap boots under his feet, dressed neatly, but he forgot to tie his belt.

Yin Lifu's gaze stayed on He Zhiyuan's waist, He Zhiyuan subconsciously touched it, and his old face blushed and explained: "I will eat later, I won't eat much if I tie my belt, I got up so early today, I don't know when I will be able to eat a hot meal." ”

Yin Lifu smiled knowingly, but he didn't dare to expose him, and hurriedly put the food in the food box on the table one by one. This table of food was specially ordered by He Zhiyuan. Today's exam is also busy, and the chef in the store gets up before the third watch to prepare breakfast for the students in the inn.

In fact, there is not a lot to eat for breakfast, two bowls of rice porridge, four steamed buns, two dishes and four eggs, it is obvious that this is the amount of two people, Yin Lifu was afraid that the master would not be able to eat lunch for a long time, so he only drank a bowl of rice porridge and an egg. He Zhiyuan picked up an egg and slowly peeled the egg skin, but only the yolk was left, Yin Lifu hurriedly reminded: "Master, the egg greens have been peeled off." ”

He Zhiyuan said very calmly: "The egg green is not nutritious, and the teacher only eats egg yolk today." When Yin Lifu heard this, he admired the master's cheekiness so much in his heart, obviously he had something in his heart, but he was restless and said so calmly, and it seemed so reasonable.

After hesitating for a long time, Yin Lifu still comforted: "Master don't be nervous, once you are born and twice cooked, you won't be nervous next time." ”

When He Zhiyuan heard this, he almost vomited out after drinking a mouthful of rice porridge, and said to Yin Lifu angrily: "Boy, you can say something auspicious early in the morning?" ”

In fact, as soon as Yin Lifu said this, he knew that he was wrong, and seeing that the master was angry, he quickly explained: "Master, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean that this township test is unfamiliar, and I will be familiar with it when I take the exam next year, and I won't be so nervous." ”

When He Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately became happy and said, "It's almost the same!" After that, he felt that it was wrong, and said to Yin Lifu: "Hey! When did I get nervous? I'm very calm, isn't it just a test? What's so difficult about this, as a teacher, I will definitely go to high school this time! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Master will definitely go to high school this time! Yin Lifu hurriedly agreed.

After the master and apprentice had breakfast, Yin Lifu loaded the examination box into the carriage and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the Gongyuan in the east of the city. In front of each car, there are lanterns of "Jinan Township Test", today Jinan is under martial law in the whole city, and the sedan car that does not hang this lantern is not allowed to go on the street, and its seriousness is no less than the college entrance examination of later generations!

At this time, the day is still long and the night is short, and when the tribute courtyard is located in the east of the city, the day is just bright, and the arrival of this point is particular, because at this time the tribute courtyard is located in the east of the city, taking the meaning of oriental civilization, this time point is also called the oriental micro-brightness, the text and the micro agree, that is, the time and the place are compatible.

After arriving at the Gongyuan, the coachman begged for a reward, although He Zhiyuan didn't believe this, but he also liked to ask for a good fortune, a small ingot of one or two to the coachman, the coachman was surprised, a thousand thanks, auspicious words, as the saying goes, money can make the ghost grind, the coachman took the silver and carried the huge examination box and followed He Zhiyuan and Yin Lifu to the front street of the Gongyuan.

When he walked straight to a square in front of the Gongyuan, the coachman was stopped by a servant wearing a big red coat and told that each candidate could only bring one scholar in to help carry his luggage and wait for the entrance to serve, which was the meaning of the scholar's existence. At this time, the coachman gave the test box to Yin Lifu, and then bowed to He Zhiyuan before leaving.

As soon as they entered the large square in front of the Tribute Courtyard, Zhao Nai, Xu Feng, and Wang Yun raised their hands to greet He Zhiyuan, Zhao Nai, and Xu Feng were both carrying an examination box, and Wang Yungang was carrying a big burden. The three of them got together, and the three identical test boxes were particularly eye-catching among the many candidates, and they didn't know that they thought that these three were all students from big families, but if they looked closely, they didn't feel like it, because Zhao Nai and Xu Feng didn't have scholars, but they carried the test boxes on their backs. So these four people have become a strange combination, which has attracted a lot of speculation.

The square in front of the Gongyuan is about two miles in radius, and it is usually a bustling bazaar, and He Zhiyuan also brought Yin Lifu to buy things. Of course, the original intention of the designer was definitely not to let people practice stalls at the gate of the Gongyuan, but for the candidates to gather. He Zhiyuan looked around, only to see that on the left and right sides of the square, there is a magnificent archway, the archway on the left is written off "Tengjiao" two big characters, the right side is written "Qifeng", there is also a memorial arch in front of the gate of the Gongyuan, the inscription is "Tiankai Wenyun" four big characters.

When I walked to the north of the square, I saw the back of the archway on the left and right, and each wrote the four big characters of "taking the people in detail" and "seeking talents for the country...... This is a clear proof that this place is not a practice stall place.

The Tribute Courtyard sits in the north and faces south, the three gates of the left, middle and right are naturally facing south, and on the middle door, there are four black and black plaques of "Jinan Tribute Courtyard". Two zhang outside the gate of the Gongyuan, there is also a gate, that is, a red wooden fence, two fence gates are opened on the fence, and there are this outside the relatively large yamen in general, so as to show that idlers do not enter.

The candidates gathered in front of this fence, and He Zhiyuan and the three of them found the location of the candidates in Qingzhou Mansion and gathered with them. Zhao Nai is an old candidate, and naturally there are many acquaintances here, and these people are also long-tested old candidates. After greeting them, Zhao Nai introduced He Zhiyuan to them, many candidates knew He Zhiyuan's name, but they had never seen the deity. After listening to Zhao Nai's introduction, many people greeted He Zhiyuan, and many people followed behind them, and gradually became a big lump.

Xu Feng saw that there were so many people following them, and he was a little uncomfortable, He Zhiyuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Feng smiled bitterly: "Some are not used to it. ”

Wang Yun smiled and said: "We are stained with the light of Brother Dongqiao and Brother Wen Yu, if any of us pass the examination to solve the yuan, we will often be hugged in the future, you better get used to it." ”

He Zhiyuan asked Zhao Nai: "Seeing that people are almost here, why don't you start?" ”

"The hour is short." Zhao Nai said softly: "Only when someone came out to open the door." ”

Those newcomers like He Zhiyuan will not have such experience, so they are naturally curious all the time and everywhere. As soon as the time came, there were three cannon shots, and then there were three more sounds, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard slowly opened, and finally saw the scenery in the Tribute Courtyard, and all living beings involuntarily held their breath, one by one they were so nervous that they died.

I saw two teams of soldiers wearing big red uniforms, one holding a red flag and the other holding a black flag, coming out of the tribute courtyard, standing in front of the fence and shaking the big flag together, shouting in unison: "Grace and ghosts enter, there is kindness to repay kindness, and resentful ghosts enter, there is revenge and revenge." ”

This wave of ghost operations made the budding candidates like He Zhiyuan, who had experienced this kind of thing for the first time, look at each other, and look up at the door plaque vigorously, and someone began to whisper to the experienced old candidates around them: "We didn't go to the wrong place, right?" How did you start dancing the gods? ”

So a knowledgeable candidate whispered: "This is like a ghost." Those ghosts who followed the candidates to repay their kindness focused under the red flag, and those resentful ghosts who came to seek revenge from the candidates squatted under the black flag. Later, these flags will be brought in, and the ghosts will be invited to the tribute house...... If it weren't for Emperor Wenchang, they wouldn't dare to enter. ”

While he was talking, the two examiners, accompanied by a group of fellow examiners, appeared at the door of the Gongyuan, and the examiner shouted to the candidates: "The examination is ordered to open, no cheating, otherwise how to do it", and then said in a deep voice: "Open the door!" ”
