This year's provincial examination was different from previous years, and it was not until the beginning of March that the Son of Heaven announced that the main examiner of this provincial examination was a university scholar.

The appointment of the chief examiner has not only been delayed by more than half a month compared with previous sessions, but it is also the first in recent years in terms of candidates.

In previous years, the provincial examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the main examination was generally selected in the Ministry of Rites, and the three imperial examinations were held, and Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, served as the chief examiner twice.

Although the status of a scholar is noble, he has no real power, and generally only serves as an adviser by the side of the Son of Heaven, and his knowledge is naturally profound, and he can serve as the chief examiner, which is the first time.

In addition, the number of officials in the Ministry of Rites has also decreased compared with previous sessions in the same examination and several examiners, and everything the Son of Heaven has done is not a whim, it will be carefully considered, and the change in this imperial examination will naturally not be a whim.

Think about it carefully, before the imperial examination, the Ping'an County Order was replaced, and the real power of the Ministry of Rites was cut, thinking further, His Majesty lifted the ban on the suspected insinuation of "The Legend of the West Chamber", is there any other deep meaning, could it be that he expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation in the court?

The sacred heart is unpredictable, and no one dares to predict it, but it is inevitable that there will be a little vigilance in the heart, and the changes in the court will not affect the overall situation, and it is often them who are small fish.

……

Two days before the start of the provincial exam, Xiao Jue brought two jars of good wine to the old beggar, saying that he wanted to relax before the exam, and took Tang Ning to the natural residence for a meal.

Tang Ning mentioned to him by the way that he was going to buy a house in Beijing, and the next day a tooth man came to the door and took him to see a few mansions.

After reading it, Tang Ning knew that these tooth people would have a few good houses in their hands, but they would not take them out easily on weekdays.

He picked a house that he liked to be satisfied with both the location and the layout, and even if he paid the money, he got the house deed and title deed.

Xiao Xiao's grandfather still has a little face in Beijing, and the price of the house is two percent lower than the market price.

This saved Downing money for the purchase of furniture, this is the first real house he owned after coming to this world, when the time comes, all the furniture will have to be bought new, and he plans to redecorate and renovate the house.

Of course, this is after the exam.

Su Ru followed him into the mansion, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Xiao Ning, what kind of place is this, what are you bringing us here for?" ”

Tang Ning bought this mansion, partly for himself, and partly for Xiaoru.

Although her mother-in-law treats her very well and likes to be close to her like a sister, in the end, she is under the fence, and it is not as free as being in her own home.

Zhong Yi looked at him, equally puzzled.

Tang Ning held their hands, put the two keys in their hands, and said with a smile: "In the future, this will be our home." ”

After hearing that this house was lived in after marriage, Zhongyi's face turned red, although Su Ru was more shy than her, but there was also overflowing joy and expectation.

Tang Ning took their hands and walked out of the house, and saw Tang Yaoyao walking out of the house next door.

Tang Ning looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"You can be here, why can't I be here?" Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "The county government is uncomfortable, so I bought a house here." ”

Tang Ning was stunned and asked, "Isn't there someone in this house?" ”

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "I gave them money, and they sold the house to me." ”

People really can't be compared, Tang Ning was about to break his hands in order to buy this house, and he had to risk being invited to tea, and he had to work hard to save enough silver.

And Miss Tang had all this as soon as she was born.

is also surnamed Tang, if he can have such a father, he won't have to work so hard.

However, this kind of thing can't be forced, he can only work his own, so that his son can not think like this in the future.

Zhong Yi is very happy that Tang Goblin lives next door to them, after all, Tang Goblin is her inseparable best friend since she was a child, Tang Ning also has some expectations for this, Tang Goblin used to climb his wall, and now he can easily climb over the wall, and he can finally turn back.

……

Early tomorrow morning, it is the first day of the provincial examination, the provincial examination is the same as the state examination, a total of three examinations, the difference is that the questions of the provincial examination are more difficult, each of which has to be tested for three days and two nights, and the food and accommodation are in the small number room.

Xiao Ru was busy in the kitchen a day in advance, preparing the food he brought in.

The exam time is three days and two nights, and the only things that can be brought in are pastries and steamed buns, and Zhong Yi checks the things to be brought for him over and over again to avoid omissions.

Tang Fairy took off her peace charm from her chest, handed it to him again, and said, "Take this, return it to me after the exam." ”

Tang Ning held the peace charm that still had the body temperature of the Tang goblin in her hand, and when she took the state test last time, she climbed the wall at night and sent this peace charm over, and later insisted that he could pass the Xie Yuan exam, which also had a certain relationship with the peace charm she sent.

Tomorrow is going to get up early in the morning, Tang Ning has prepared everything, put it on the table, and plans to go to bed early.

After washing, just as he was about to close the door, there was a sudden creak at the door, and Tang Ning turned his head and saw Zhong Yi pushing the door in.

Before Tang Ning could speak, she stepped forward slowly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"Sleep peacefully, don't think about ...... much"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran out quickly.

Ran over and offered a kiss, and let people sleep peacefully, not thinking much, women are really strange animals.

He walked to the door of the room, and when he was about to close the door and go to bed, he saw a figure standing in the courtyard, a little wandering.

He walked out of the door, Su Ru saw him, a little at a loss, bowed his head and said, "Brother Xiao Ning......, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Tang Ning walked up to her, smiled, and asked, "Didn't you sleep too?" ”

Su Ru handed him a food box in his hand and said, "I, I'm afraid that Brother Xiao Ning will be hungry at night, so I cooked some porridge." ”

Tang Ning took the food box, and she immediately said: "Brother Xiao Ning will go to bed early after eating, I, I'll go......"

Tang Ning put down the food box, took her hand, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and whispered, "Don't worry......"

……

The provincial examination starts on March 9, with a total of three exams, each for three consecutive days, and there will be a day of rest in the middle.

Every year of the imperial examination, this is the biggest event in Beijing, and in these eleven days, the entire Beijing division seems to have become quiet.

At this time, the first session of the provincial examination has begun for a day, and in the Gongyuan, no math students are working hard to write.

Before the reform of the imperial examination, the provincial examination often had to be tested more than a dozen, dozens, after the reform, although only three were needed, but the synthesis of the first one, but the previous test to be tested separately many subjects mixed together, the questions are unusually many, and extremely difficult, if you do not improve the speed, even if it is three days can not be written.

When many students were eager to grow an extra hand, Tang Ning sat in his room and wrote slowly.

Although there are many topics in this scene, for him, there is no need to think, write them down one by one, rest for a while when his arms are sore, sleep when he is sleepy, and write so far, he has completed 90% of the topics, and in the afternoon, it should be over.

After the early morning of the third day, the gong sounded, and the paper could be handed in.

The space in the room was small, and it was very uncomfortable to stay inside, so in the first and second games, he walked out of the examination room after the gong sounded.

In the third game, Tang Ning only writes one article a day, and most of the time is spent on ideation, after all, his advantage in this game is not obvious, and he needs to be treated carefully, and he didn't come out like most people until he was about to clear the field.

When he stepped out of the gate of the Tribute Academy, the dust had settled on this provincial test.

Xiao Jue leaned against the wall at the gate of the Gongyuan and waited for him, walked over, and said, "Why did you come out, you finally finished the exam, how about it, go out to drink at night?" ”

"We'll talk about it in two days." Tang Ning waved his hand and walked in the other direction.

Not far away, the figures that attracted countless eyes had been waiting for a long time.

Xiao Jue looked at the three girls not far away, then looked at Xiao Fu who was standing behind him, waved his hand, and said, "Drink a fart, Xiao Fu, go home and boil medicine!" ”
