The entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more students in Beijing, and every inn is full of people who want to enter Beijing to take the exam. Ten years of hard work, once on the list, it is equivalent to a fish jumping into the dragon gate, reaching the peak of life, even the family relatives have glory, and it is not the same.

Will try to take the middle of the call Gongshi, also known as the Chinese Jinshi, the first name will be Yuan. The number of admission places is uncertain, and there are about 300 people on the first list, and they are admitted in proportion to the south, north and middle three regions.

After the examination, the tribute will be re-examined by the emperor himself, and the best will be selected as the jinshi. The palace examination usually takes one day, and according to the results, the first is given to the Jinshi and the first, the Jinshi is born, and the same Jinshi is born, and then the brown is released.

The examination will be held in three sessions, one on three days, the first on the 9th of the first month, the second on the 12th, and the third on the 15th. The three test items, four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions, are the same as the township test.

After the fraud case in the imperial examination, the scholars in the entire Beijing division were surprisingly low-key, and they never heard of any poetry and socializing, drinking and fighting. The scholars in the Guozi Prison also didn't dare to provoke right and wrong, Cao Wei was also happy, and after patrolling around every day, he sneaked home and kissed Xie Wan and me.

The thunder of the day stirred up the earth's fire, and two bodies burned in an instant......

The day before the exam, after Cao Wei made a round, he was about to sneak home as usual, when a lieutenant hurriedly ran into the Qianhu Institute and said, "My lord, the Beizhen Fusi sent an official document, saying that we should go to the Gongyuan tomorrow to maintain the security of the examination. ”

"What?" Cao Wei said angrily: "Which official document is this that doesn't open your eyes?" Nothing to do for the official, it's really a death! ”

According to the usual practice, Juzi is not allowed to go out during the examination period, and officers and soldiers who maintain law and order are not allowed to enter and leave at will. The conditions in the tribute courtyard are naturally not as good as outside, Cao Wei's life was originally easy and comfortable, but now he is suffering for a few extra days, which makes him not angry.

The captain reminded in a low voice: "My lord, the Beizhen Fusi is led by Mu Shuai and ......."

"I don't have to guess to know it's this old horseman! He also took away a few boxes of tea from the official's house a few days ago, and he just cheated me like this in a few days, what a white-eyed wolf. The official will go to him now, if he does not withdraw this order, the official will be killed in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen. ”

The captain watched in disbelief as Shangguan walked out of the Qianhu in a rage, and couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, this Shangguan really has no taboos......

Outside the Thousand Households, Cao Wei got into the carriage, but the time of the two pillars of incense arrived at the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. After getting out of the carriage, he was about to go inside, but was politely stopped by the two lieutenants at the door.

"Blind to your eyes, this official is Cao Wei of the inner city, don't you know?"

"My lord, the little ones naturally recognize you, but the commander has explained to the adult, and no one has seen you in the past few days, especially Lord Cao, ......"

Cao Wei was furious and said: "How can this be reasonable, Mu Shuai can hide from the first day of junior high school, and he can't hide from the fifteenth, you go and tell him, if he doesn't see me, I will die at the gate of this yamen today, splashing the blood of Fusi in Beizhen!" ”

"My lord, Mu Shuai said, he just needs to avoid these few days, Mu Shuai also said that our Jinyi Wei is not afraid of the dead, if you encounter any splashes at the door of the yamen to play scoundrels and seek death, persuade him to die early, and if you die one more person who has nothing to do, you can save one more bite of food......"

“…… This brother, I bother you to go in and tell Mu Shuai, just say that this official feels that he is not a shallow learner and is not enough to take on this great responsibility, so please choose another meritorious......"

"Mu Shuai said, you are outstanding, so you have to work hard, Mu Shuai believes that you will be able to do the errands he assigned properly, and set an example for our Jinyi Guard, and the brothers in the guard will look up to the grace of the adults in the future."

Cao Wei looked at him stunned and said, "This brother, if Mu Shuai has anything to explain, you can tell me!" ”

"Mu Shuai said that you are a lazy donkey, you don't fight or grind, and he is the one with the whip in his hand, Mu Shuai also said that you must squeeze out your talents."

Cao Wei sighed and said, "You go back and tell Mu Shuai that sooner or later I will snatch the whip from his hand one day, and then replace him with a grinder!" ”

The captain at the door saw Cao Wei leaving, and just wanted to enter the door, he saw Mu Bin walking out of the door, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Mu Shuai, Lord Cao said ......."

Mu Bin waved his hand and said: "The old man has heard it, this kid is ambitious, the old man is waiting for him to grab the whip, but before that, the old man will beat him from a lazy donkey to a tiger......"

…………………………

Leaving Beizhen Fusi, Cao Wei went back to the house directly, since he couldn't change it, he could only make his life more comfortable in the few days in the Gongyuan.

First of all, in terms of eating, most people will prepare some dry food, and there is hot water in the Gongyuan, which can also satisfy hunger, but this taste Cao Wei can't bear it, so he personally cooked some lo-mei after returning to the house.

The chicken and duck taste very good after being marinated, even if it is not heated, it is very delicious, and more importantly, the lo-mei will not change its flavor after a few days, it is really a must-have delicacy when going out.

The second is beef jerky, which is also a rare delicacy, and it is best to carry a little bit with you, so that you can make a tooth sacrifice at any time. The Ming Dynasty forbade the slaughter of cultivated cattle, huh...... The cow of Cao Wei's family fell to his death!

Just eating meat will be greasy, at this time the best snack is to dry fried soybeans, the method is to put no oil on the wok, the next soybeans with low heat to keep stir-frying, during the period put in a little sesame and green salt, until the color from yellow to light and golden, then the soybean taste is crispy, beautiful.

Cao Wei is a thousand households, and it stands to reason that he will be assigned to a side room, but the wooden bed in the tribute courtyard is extremely stiff, so he also specially prepared two thick mink furs, one spread underneath and one covered on his body.

In addition, Cao Wei also specially brought a bag of tea, no more, no less, exactly three days' amount.

Early the next morning, Zhang Meng was already waiting at the gate of Cao's Mansion with a carriage, Cao Wei was carrying a huge burden, and reluctantly said goodbye to Xie Wan......

Zhang Meng looked at the sky and urged: "My lord, it's time to leave, as inspection officials, we should enter the venue in advance, otherwise the examiner will be blamed......"

"Got it, got it." Cao Wei waved his hand impatiently, and then said softly: "Lady, for the husband to leave these days, you have to be careful, these days the red dates should be boiled and eaten every day, hands should not touch the cold water, cover the quilt before going to bed every day, you can no longer kick the quilt at will, three meals a day, you must eat on time, walk in the yard at noon, bask in the sun......"

"Adult ......"

"Got it, got it! It's time to go, isn't it? ”

Cao Wei glared at Zhang Meng, and then slowly got into the carriage, Zhang Meng whipped hard, and the carriage drove quickly towards the Gongyuan.

Cao Wei lifted the curtain, stretched out his head and said, "Lady, wait for me to come back......"
