The assessment was originally scheduled for four days, but unfortunately, I didn't expect that there were too many students who came to participate in the assessment.

In order to make the examination room accommodate so many candidates, Wang Fu even demolished the side wall, set up a wooden fence on the periphery, and the northern army soldiers came to patrol and guard, when the first batch of candidates came, they saw groups of northern troops stationed around.

This made the atmosphere of the entire examination room suddenly become extremely solemn, the Northern Army can be described as the elite of the Han Dynasty, and won the yearning of the scholars, they coldly guarded around the examination room, armed all over, and the soldiers who originally exchanged heads and ears and came to the assessment with a smile were silent, lowered their heads, and submitted the test passes one after another, and entered the examination room, but it was not the Northern Army who was responsible for checking their identities.

It is some of the sacrificial wines in the Tai Academy and Menzi Studies.

Yuan Shao stood at the front, the clansmen followed behind him, and after entering the examination room, the northern army immediately came forward to search, not allowed to wear swords, nor to carry any books and the like, and then came to the original school field, where a lot of mats and wooden tables have been placed, and there are soldiers leading them, according to their successive numbers, one by one, seated, and sat in their respective positions.

Soon after, a man with a long beard walked into the examination room, he was followed by several officials, Yuan Shao was sitting precariously, and there were a few people whispering behind him, this person was the current Wang Situ, Wang Fu walked into the examination room, and sat at the top, sitting on his left was a slightly older minister, this minister was tall, but a little thin, and his hair was a little gray.

Yuan Shao recognized this person, this is commonplace.

On his right hand is Cai Yong of Tai Academy.

The rest of the officials couldn't sit with them, they all stood around, frowned, and made an inspection, these officials were all young officials, such as Jia Xu, Xun You, Jin Xuan, Liu Biao and the like, Yuan Shao didn't squint, and when everyone was seated, Wang Fu ordered the northern soldiers to retrieve the examination papers.

In the crowd, half of the big boys, after seeing the examiner who came to inspect, his little face was so happy that his little face smiled, he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew! Virtuous nephew! Boom! Xun You was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, smiled helplessly, hurriedly walked over, and said in a low voice: "Meet my uncle, uncle... What are you doing here?? Alas, uncle, don't talk anymore, out of the examination room, you and I will talk again..."

This candidate turned out to be a doll, looking very cute, hearing Xun You say this, he also nodded, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "The virtuous nephew is good to patrol, so I won't say more..."

Hearing him say in a milky voice, Xun You felt that his head was bigger, nodded, and left like a fled, returning to Wang Fu's side, Wang Fu naturally saw the scene over there, glanced at Xun You coldly, and asked, "Who is that son of Fang Cai?" ”

"It's my uncle, called Yu... There is no word yet..."

"Your Xun family is just messing around, let a son come to the assessment, isn't it despising the monarch?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, my uncle, smart since childhood..."

"Humph!" Wang Fu snorted coldly, but did not say anything more.

Xun You didn't dare to inspect the area anymore, and changed the area with people, after a while, the soldier brought the exam papers, and sent them at the beginning, the first one, is to assess the Confucian classics, after all, Confucianism is the foundation, and the rest are the end, because after He Lao, the ram has some rising momentum, so the Confucian classics are used in some basic content on the stone scriptures, which can be played freely, and the examiner is Cai Yong.

The candidates picked up the special pen and ink, and began to answer the questions, in order to allow them to be able to play the manuscript in advance, Wang Fu prepared some paper, for the candidates to distribute, Yuan Shao picked up the exam paper, read carefully, the questions are not very complicated, and many are free to play questions, Yuan Shao did not rush to start writing, took the paper, and began to write.

For a while, the entire examination room was very silent.

"Examiner! Can you give another piece of paper? ”

"Examiner!"

"Exam..."

Yuan Shao raised his head a little annoyed, wanting to look back, but he was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, and he didn't know who it was, he had already asked for four pieces of paper in succession, and then looked down at the paper he had only written half of, Yuan Shao thought to himself, the gap between people is so big? Who is this, so familiar with the scriptures and meanings of Confucianism, is it not an outstanding student in Tai Academy?

This voice undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the surrounding candidates, they trembled and began to write, speeding up the speed of writing, the person was still constantly asking for paper, and finally even attracted the attention of Wang Fu, Xun You and Jia Xu and others were also constantly wandering around him.

Maybe it's because this is Cai Yong's first time asking questions, Cai Yong doesn't have much experience, the questions are obviously a little simple, and everyone writes very easily, of course, not counting the previous candidate who has been interfering with everyone, Wang Fu gave everyone two hours to answer the questions, this exam paper naturally does not need to take two hours, and everyone quickly finished answering.

After answering, I didn't want to leave in a hurry, and corrected my mistakes over and over again.

When the hour came, the northern army soldiers came to collect the papers, Yuan Shao and others were sent to the guest room, they were going to rest, but the other batch of candidates had to continue to assess, tomorrow, they also had to test arithmetic, they did not dare to slack off, just walked into the resting room, many candidates just began to talk, all of them were talking about the topic.

Some sighed, others laughed, and more were arguing.

With Yuan Shao here, many children of the Yuan family did not dare to talk to others at will, standing quietly behind Yuan Shao, whispering about the topic of Fang Cai, and talking, suddenly, a group of people came over with a smile, Yuan Shao saw them, squeezed out a smile, and arched his hand and said: "Hugh Ruo!" You're here too, and I'm still surprised, why didn't I see you! ”

"Originally, I saw you at a glance..."The person who came, called Xun Yan, was the person who took the lead among the many candidates of the Xun family, he looked at the person behind him and said: "This is the Yuan family's Da Lang Shao, the original word, see you quickly..."

The children of the Xun family came to meet one by one, led by Xun Yan, Xun Chen, Xun Yue, Xun Di, and Xun Yu, who was the youngest and stared at everyone with wide eyes, Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Why did you come to participate in the assessment at such a young age?" ”

"Alas, he insisted on coming, but the adults in the family didn't allow it, so he cried incessantly, and cried for two hours, and in desperation, I brought him here..."Xun Yan sighed and said, but Xun Yu was angry, and defended loudly: "I didn't cry!" That's a ploy! It's a stratagem! ”

"Good, good... You didn't cry...."

"Hahaha~~" A few people laughed.

"Gentlemen, well!" One of them suddenly walked up to them, smiled, and said, several people turned their heads and observed together, usually, these children of these big families stood here, and few people would come to disturb them, who was this?

This person is also a young scholar, wearing good clothes, but also a little dignified, so many people are staring at him, he is not a little embarrassed, arched his hand and said with a smile: "In Xia Liu Bei, the word Xuande, seeing that the monarchs are extraordinary, I specially came to get acquainted..."

Hearing his surname, Yuan Shao also bowed his hand and said: "It turned out to be Liu Jun, under Yuan Shao, the word was at the beginning...", several people also introduced themselves, Liu Bei did not talk about his identity and so on, but chatted with them about some interesting things, this person is extraordinary, Yuan Shao and others soon chatted with him, the atmosphere was warm, Liu Bei and they discussed the assessment of Fang Cai...

"Do you know that there is a scholar who was arrested for cheating, and I heard that even the king was shocked..."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao was taken aback and asked, "With such a simple question, there are still people cheating?" ”

"That's right, I don't know probably, I heard that a person secretly hid the paper used in the examination room in his arms, and wanted to take it away, but was caught..."

"Take the paper? Why? ”

"I don't know, I heard that this person has hidden seven or eight pieces of paper!"

"Hahaha, there is such a person, I think, he must want to sell the assessment questions to the next batch of candidates, this person, it is really a shame for a scholar, but, seven or eight pieces of paper, why does he have so much paper? Isn't this the person who has been asking the examiner for paper? ”

"Probably so..."

"What did that man call, do you know?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "It's like calling a horse or something... Forgotten..."

"Oh..."8)
