The inspection was completed smoothly.

Cao Yan's group of people did not find anyone like entrainment.

Entering the examination room, Cao Yan followed the advancing team and looked at the layout of the Gongyuan in front of him.

At this time, the Jiangnan Gongyuan Temple, which was famous in later generations, had not yet been built.

Jiangnan Gongyuan, also known as Nanjing Gongyuan or Jiankang Gongyuan, is located in the southeast corner of Qinhuai District, Nanjing, east side of Nanjing Confucius Temple Palace, is a part of the Qinhuai scenery belt of Confucius Temple, and one of the three ancient buildings in the Confucius Temple area.

Jiangnan Gongyuan was founded in 1168 in the fourth year of Song Qiandao, and during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan Gongyuan reached its peak. There are 20,644 examination rooms alone, plus hundreds of ancillary buildings, covering an area of more than 30 million square meters.

Its large scale and wide area rank first among the provincial tribute institutes in the country, and it is the largest imperial examination room in ancient China.

And now Cao Yan's examination is much smaller than the Jiangnan Tribute Academy in later generations, but the two are somewhat similar in layout.

However, Cao Yan remembered that except after modern times, after the requirements for exams changed, the exams of all previous dynasties seemed to be the same pattern, that is, three days in the number house.

……

For the examination room, it is also about the metaphysics of feng shui, and the location by the thatched house is the worst, although it is only April now, but there are no fewer mosquitoes, rats and ants.

You want to! Originally, I was trying to do a good job, inspiration burst out, and the pen was like a god, but suddenly a few big flies were bitten on your face, on the pen, on the paper, this rush, and interrupted the train of thought, not rushed, looking at it and seeping panic, and this thing dangling in front of you for a long time will also hinder your inspiration, this think about it and feel hopeless.

And the food in the test basket, those well-sealed test boxes are fine, and the windy structure of the test basket on all sides can still be stared at during the day, and if you don't pay attention at night, it will become food for mosquitoes and ants.

There have been countless such incidents in the past.

There are hungry and dizzy people who only drink some water for three days, there are those who continue to eat without fear of death, and then they have a stomach for two days, there are mosquito bites all over the body, itching and can't take the test, and there are also those who are tortured at night and can't sleep at all, and can't open their eyes during the day.

Anyway, to sum up, it's a dead place to rely on the toilet, so don't think about getting into the exam if you go.

Cao Yan and Luo Ming are in a better location, on the side of the examiner's supervision and rest, it is sunny here, the venue is wide, far away from the toilet, and the two are still next door.

Seeing all this in front of him, Cao Yan secretly shook his head, and felt sorry for Zhang Muer: "This is God helping Luo Ming take her down!" ”

……

However, when he saw the house for the first time, Cao Yan wanted to complain, this was the first time he had seen this thing.

This house is a bit of an anti-human design, and I don't know if it's a design that lacks virtue and smokes.

It is surrounded by walls on three sides, like a word, two wooden boards, the wooden board against the inner wall is fixed, and the wooden board on the outside of the front can be moved up and down, when moved to the top, it forms a desk and chair structure with the wooden board behind it, and when it is moved to the bottom, it can become a bed with the wooden board behind it.

However, this bed is only a little more than one meter, and if you sleep, the calf part will fall out without support, of course, you can also sleep with your feet shrunk. This is full of malice for Cao Yan, a person who is eight meters old, and the quilt prepared in the house is small and thin, it seems that it is still a little difficult to sleep peacefully.

Cao Yan sighed, spread out the pen and ink, poured a little water into the inkstone, took the ink strip, and began to grind it, he was ready to solve it quickly, while he was in good spirits, he would finish all the topics in one morning, and in the next few days, he would look at the sky here, because this would not allow him to hand in the paper in advance.

……

Then.

Suddenly, there was a burst of smell of mosquito repellent refreshing perfume, and there were several scents.

This thing is sold by his own family, and the price is not low, a small bottle costs fifteen Mr. Zhang.

After being confirmed by some readers that this thing is refreshing, and it has a good effect on mosquito repellent that cannot be described in words, the recent sales of this thing are unusually hot, which has caused a situation where some people may not be able to buy it with money.

Cao Yan was secretly surprised, who is so arrogant? Scattering?

The exam hasn't started yet, so it's allowed to wander around your own room.

Cao Yan stood up, put the inkstone where he was sitting, took the wooden board in front of him, and walked out of the house.

It was the group of losers I had met at the door earlier, each holding a small bottle in his hand, and scattering it around his house, the smell of which was so repellent and refreshing.

Seeing Cao Yan come out, a few people who were present to spread perfume hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, this thing is good, it's quite sober." "There are no mosquitoes yet, so I can't see the effect.

"Hehe," Cao Yan smiled, looking like you like it, silently watching their arrogant operation.

Here, Luo Ming heard the conversation outside and came out of his house, and wanted to watch the excitement outside.

Cao Yan found Luo Ming behind him, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he walked towards him.

When approaching him, Cao Yan patted him on the head with his hand.

"You have to work hard, or don't think about Zhang Mu'er." Cao Yan laughed.

caused a burst of laughter around, many people present were from Jiangning Mansion, who didn't know that he Luo Fat and Zhang Mu'er had a bit of, but there were some things that didn't dare to say to Cao Yan like this, and dared to say it in front of Luo Ming.

Luo Ming just wanted to retort with a wry smile, and suddenly felt a tingle in his ears, just like what he felt that night on Yuan Xi.

There was a sudden joy in his heart, he didn't dig his ears, he knew what it was.

hurriedly turned his head to look at Cao Yan and wanted to secretly say thank you, but Cao Yan had already turned around and left, and went back to his own house.

……

Finally, after an hour of coming, all the people finally came in through the inspection.

After the sound of gongs and drums came from the courtyard again.

The gates of the Gongin Temple were closed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Several errand officers announced the rules of the exam as they walked.

Wait until that's done.

Then the examiner began to announce what the exam questions were.

I asked the errand officer to send the exam questions down.

Cao Yan took the exam questions and looked at them, and then his voice rang in Luo Ming's ears.

"Wait for me in two hours, you touch the fish first, and I'll tell you to write when I'm done, and I will cough a little when I understand.

"Ahem," Rodming's voice came from next door coughing slightly.

……

Cao Yan entered the exam questions into the search engine in the system.

Suddenly, a large line of web pages appeared.

Cao Yan picked and chose an article that introduced him as the champion and copied it.

……

Fortunately, the articles in ancient times were written in classical Chinese, and the number of words was not much.

If it were to be replaced with a paper that is now thousands or tens of thousands of words at every turn, Cao Yan estimated that he would have to copy it for a whole day.

Just when Cao Yan's pen was flying,

Suddenly, I felt a darkness in front of me.

He looked up in front of him.

I saw a few people wearing official uniforms of about three or four grades, in front of me, nodding slightly while looking at their answers.

This made Cao Yan feel a little confused, and he looked up and glanced around the faces of several officials, and found that he didn't know any of them.

The examiner who came to invigilate the exam would take the initiative to lock himself up in the Gongyuan as soon as he came to Jiangning Mansion to avoid suspicion, so Cao Yan didn't know him.

Although Cao Yan didn't know them, they hadn't seen Cao Yan before.

But thanks to the braggart habits of those businessmen who travel around, they have heard a lot about the legend of Cao Yan in the capital.

When they were assigned a number house, they deliberately assigned Cao Yan's number house near the hall where they were sitting, to see what kind of person he was.
