The distance from Lanyang County to Kaifeng Mansion is about sixty or seventy miles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lu Cheng's village where their family is located is in the middle of this, and it is not far from the capital city.

In those days, there were no cars, and transportation was basically on the road. The carriage is for the rich to sit on, and the means of transportation for the ordinary people is the ox cart, which is not much different from walking, just labor-saving.

Dozens of miles away, if you are tired of walking on the road and then rest, no matter how fast it is, it will take more than three hours to reach Fucheng, and if you are slower, it will take four hours.

Lu Cheng went out early in the morning and entered Kaifeng City in the afternoon.

At this time, Kaifeng Mansion was equivalent to the provincial capital of later generations. Not only is there a government office, but even the yamen of the political envoy of He1 Nanbu is also located in Kaifeng Mansion, so it is extremely prosperous.

Of course, the so-called prosperity is only relative to the small county town of Lanyang County. Compared with those big cities in later generations, it is simply a drop in the shadows. Guy didn't have a large population at this time, and under normal circumstances, there would be no crowds on the streets.

Although I don't have much hope that I will pass the hospital test, I always have to take a look.

There are three levels of children's examinations, namely the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, which are regarded as a small examination for the imperial examination. If someone can get the first place in these three-level exams three times in a row, that is, the head of the case, it is called "Little Three Yuan".

However, there are too few such cattle.

The location of the college examination is in the Gongyuan of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the list of those who were admitted to the first college examination will be announced today and posted on a wall outside the Gongyuan.

When Lu Cheng arrived at the Tribute Courtyard, it was already past the time for the case, and there were only a few people around the list to watch the list. Presumably, these people didn't have much hope like him, so they would be late.

stepped forward and glanced at the list casually, Lu Cheng was ready to leave, anyway, just one word - no fun!

Well, that's like two words.

As soon as he turned around and was about to leave, Lu Cheng was suddenly stunned, and frowned again and looked back carefully.

And then, he was completely stunned!

Because he saw the bottom of the last list, there was a seat number that was very eye-catching in his eyes at the moment - the T-shaped seven number!

The name is vague during the college examination, so the name will not be written when the case is committed, and it is all seat number. And this "T-shaped Qi number" is the seat number of Lu Cheng's exam that day!

Damn, that's not true, is it?

Lu Cheng blinked, not quite willing to believe it.

I blinked again, but I still didn't want to believe it.

When his eyes blinked for the third time, he even rubbed them vigorously with his hands, and when he looked at the list again, he completely believed the facts in front of him.

"Haha, Lao Tzu is on the list!!"

Lu Cheng couldn't help but shout, attracting the envious and jealous eyes of several people next to him. Immediately, someone had already scolded in a whisper: "Isn't it just the first one?" Isn't it a showman, what's the big deal? What a humiliation! ”

Only then did Lu Cheng come back to his senses and realize that he was a little carried away. In fact, it is really not a big deal to be admitted to the first one, and those who are admitted have to take another test before they can decide whether to be selected or not.

But that's it, and it's already surpassed many people. You know, I don't know how many people have been taking the exam for more than ten years, or even more than 20 years, from childhood to old age, from no beard to gray beard, and they may not be able to pass the exam.

Let's just say that Lu Cheng has been taking the exam for so many years, and he has always been brushed off by the first of the college exam, and it is precisely because of this that he does not have much confidence in the college exam.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually passed the first exam for the first time, which is simply an unexpected joy!

Lu Cheng stood there silent for a moment before turning to leave, a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, yes, you kid is a lot more competitive this year, since you have passed the first exam, then why should I wait for another three years for the imperial examination?" Look at me coming back without taking a show this time! ”

The second exam will be early tomorrow morning, and I will start entering the exam room before dawn.

In this case, I can't go home today, otherwise I won't be able to catch the exam tomorrow. Fortunately, when I went out in the morning, my mother prepared some dry food and a string of copper coins, just to prepare for myself after being admitted.

In fact, Lu Cheng also knew that his mother actually didn't have much confidence in herself, but she didn't say it.

A few days ago, when he came to Fucheng to take the first exam, Lu Cheng found a small inn to rest for a night, and rushed to the exam room early the next morning. The room in that inn is not too expensive, it only costs 20 yuan for a night, which is already the cheapest in Kaifeng Mansion.

Penglai Inn, which is the name of this small inn, looks a little shabby, and the location is in a small alley.

However, there are quite a lot of guests today, and they are basically candidates dressed as literati. In the past, Lu Cheng was very unsociable, he came in a hurry and left after the exam, and few candidates here would recognize him.

"Scholars are called poor scholars, it seems that this is the case!"

Looking up at the plaque on the gate, Lu Cheng sighed in his heart and walked in.

"Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel? Yo, isn't this Lu Gongzi? Please, please, this time you still want a room with a lot size, right? ”

"Exactly, little second brother, arrange me a room with a local size."

Lu Cheng couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, after taking the exam for so many years, they all lived in the same inn, and the shopkeepers in this inn all knew him. However, the shopkeeper has a lot of respect for him, and he doesn't show any contempt for him.

After settling down and eating two flatbreads brought from home in the room, Lu Cheng went out.

Exams are the first priority, but the family is too poor, and he wants to go out and see if he can rely on what is in his head to earn some money to support the family.

Out of the alley, Lu Cheng didn't have an exact destination, so he walked around the streets of Kaifeng Mansion.

After wandering around for a while, I found that there are a lot of things that are lacking in this era. But many things in his head are still very difficult to make at this time.

There are many craft production materials, which cannot be found at this time. And what can be made seems to be unsellable in this era.

Lu Cheng was a little confused, and it was also a very distressing thing to have a treasure mountain but not know how to use it. It seems that it is not easy to live in this Ming Dynasty.

Walking forward blankly, a man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Isn't this Lu Cheng?" Yo, could it be that you also passed this first exam? It's not easy! ”

These words were very sarcastic, Lu Cheng was a little displeased when he heard it, and after following the prestige, he met the people he didn't want to see: Sun Xiujuan and Zhao Yulong, a pair of dog men and women!
