"Cousin Jing, your father is a second-class member of the dynasty, and this time Enke heard that the number of admissions will be as many as thousands, but I don't know if there is such a thing," said a talented student in a green shirt. Hearing this topic, the ears of the students near him instantly pricked up, and it is a major matter related to his future, and it is not okay if he doesn't care.

"I only heard my father inadvertently mention that the number of admissions may be relatively large this time, but I don't know how much. However, now that the eunuch party is in power, the Ming Dynasty is in troubled times, and it does need a large number of young and motivated officials to set things right. He said it impassionedly, but it was a pity that as soon as he finished speaking, the nearby students immediately put it away, looking at him with a bit of an idiot expression.

Knowing that now that the eunuchs are in power, covering the sky with one hand, they dare to say this in broad daylight, you are not afraid of death, and you don't want to harm us, who knows if there are any spies from Dongchang here. In the blink of an eye, the cousin Jing was left standing alone in embarrassment.

The crowd waited in place for a while, but nothing happened, and then began to gather together in a bustling manner, talking.

At this time, Qin Gongzi, who was sitting in the private room, listened to the chatter of the students outside, and couldn't help but smile, listening to the remarks of the students outside, he knew that those guys were unreliable, a group of poor students, how could they be as suave and knowledgeable as Ben Gongzi, and that Jingtang Gongzi was also unproductive, what could he do if he mixed with a group of nerds all day long. For this time, Enkoben Gongzi paid a high price to ask the master to help, how can it be compared to those poor sour shows. When you enter the exam room tomorrow, it will depend on your own means.

The next day, candidates from all walks of life began to line up to enter the examination room.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, it turned out that someone was found to be carrying books on his body and was caught, and the unlucky child was dragged away by a nearby official on the spot.

Qin Gongzi wanted to die of laughter when he looked at the cheating methods of these poor and sour talents, and at first glance, he looked like he had never seen the market in the countryside, some of them were hidden in his sleeves, and some were collected in his shoes. This kind of means is embarrassed to take it out and embarrass people.

"What are you bringing," it was Qin Gongzi's turn.

"Adult, this is a diorama, students can use it to read the article clearly if they have bad eyes, and the others are not of much use. If the adult needs the student, he can ask the family to send one for the adult," and the officials on the side searched him while Qin Gongzi was speaking, and the other was checking his belongings.

"My lord, this man has nothing but some rice," said the search officer.

The "next" inspection continued, and there were people behind him who were found to be carrying private work and not being dragged away by officials.

After Qin Gongzi found his place and took a seat, the environment in the examination room this time was not bad, each person had a small house, and there was a small stove on the side to cook, and soon the staff was full, and the examiner announced a large pair of rules to start distributing the test papers, and instructed the officials to patrol the examination room.

Qin Gongzi looked at the colleagues around him and began to answer the questions with great skills. At this time, a candidate lifted his clothes to expose his belly and began to answer questions frantically, Qin Gongzi took a closer look, and there was a bunch of words on his stomach when he held the grassland.

Look at the brother on the left, sprinkle some water on the clothes, I went, and the clothes slowly showed words. It's really amazing, and they do everything.

Looking at the brother in front of him, he looks like a stupid person, and he has nothing to prepare, and he is biting the pen. At that moment, a bow and arrow with a note on it shot into the pillar next to the pencil pole. This brother was immediately overjoyed, and picked it up and quickly answered the question. It may be that the sound of bows and arrows was heard by the examiner, and the examiner suddenly appeared with the official errand and took away several colleagues who were cheating frantically.

The means can't work, my father is still a fire, and it's not too late to boil some boiling water to answer the question.

At this time, the examiner passed by a candidate's examination club, and saw a candidate boiling a pot of boiling water on the table, holding a Western mirror of rice on the table in his left hand, and answering questions frantically with his right hand. The head was even more left and right, and it was not a good thing at first glance, and he immediately walked over there with the official errand.

Qin Gongzi, who was answering the question, heard the footsteps, and immediately pushed the rice on the left hand side off the table, the stove that boiled water below was under the left hand table, and a lot of rice grains happened to fall into the water.

"I'm scared to death, if it weren't for my son's cleverness, he would definitely be taken away by the official like those idiots." Looking at the test paper in his hand, most of it was empty, but unfortunately the rice had just been cooked, so he had to scratch his ears and cheeks and answer the questions slowly, fortunately, he was not the kind of playboy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. This time, Enko can only rely on his own strength.

When the time for answering the questions came, the examiner began to take away the candidates' test papers, and Qin Gongzi's exam passed. As for the results of the exam, I can only pray to God and worship Buddha.

If you think about it more than you want, you still go home and wait for the day the list is released to know the result.

So Qin Gongzi went home leisurely, drinking while walking, compared with those sad-faced candidates on the side, leisurely and leisurely seemed so different, everyone woke up and I was drunk alone......................
