The thick ink has not dispersed, the silver hook is half hidden, and the frost is wet and the car is sparkling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the third watch day, the streets were full of lanterns, and there were many people, all of whom were those who were rushing to take the exam, and Liu Xi, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, was naturally among them. When I arrived at the Gongyuan in Nancheng, it was already overcrowded, and it was difficult for the carriage to get in, so Qu Lang had to park the car on the side of the road a little far.

"Childe, the front is overcrowded, and I'm afraid the car won't be able to pass."

Through the curtain of the car, Qu Lang whispered, and when the words fell, he saw Liu Xi leaning out, "That's it, it's just a few steps, I'll just walk over." ”

Saying that, Liu Xi looked up again, and he could see the scholars everywhere, including many white-haired and goosebumpy old men, this official really has something crazy about it.

"But also, everything is inferior, only reading is high, there is such a thing, it is not surprising that such a situation is there, and I will join in the fun today."

smiled and muttered to himself, and then took the wooden box handed by Qu Lang, in addition to the pen and ink, there was also food prepared by Wu Shuang'er and his three daughters with a lot of effort.

Cultivators, it's okay not to eat for three days, but Liu Xi didn't want to be noticed by others, so Wu Shuang'er didn't object when he proposed to prepare to eat, but the three girls seemed to be worried that he would be hungry, so they bought back a bunch of pastries and ingredients, if Liu Xi hadn't seen it and stopped them, he was afraid that he would have to carry several wooden boxes containing all kinds of food in his hands at this moment.

Carrying the wooden box, Liu Xi said goodbye to Qu Lang, who had been dissuaded at home before, so Wu Shuang'er and the others did not follow, otherwise it would be inevitable that there would be some worries and instructions at this moment.

"Yusheng!"

Liu Xi was walking, but he heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Ma Xiu. No wonder everyone in the courtyard came to say goodbye just now, but they didn't see Ma Xiu's figure, Liu Xi was still worried that his heart knot had not been untied, but he didn't expect that Ma Xiu had already come to the Gongyuan here.

The thin fan is obliquely inserted at the waist, the cheongsam is not buttoned neatly, the hosta is half tied with slightly messy black hair, and the horse embroidery is still the same as a few days ago, without repairing the appearance, compared with the neatly dressed scholars around it, it is like two things.

"Today, why are you here?"

Seeing him, Liu Xi hurriedly walked over, and the latter smiled, "Why, he won't let me participate, I can't come and have a look?" ”

After saying this, Ma Xiu smiled, her red and swollen peach blossom eyes showed a bright color, stared at Liu Xi, and said very seriously, "Yusheng, remember what you promised, take a champion back." ”

"Don't worry, when I return, it will definitely be a horse on the street."

Hearing this, Ma Xiu didn't care about the strangeness in the eyes of others, and walked forward with a thin fan in the cold morning breeze, "Then I'll go back and fill the wine and wait for ......."

Looking at the horse embroidery whose back was becoming more and more blurred in the unfading night, Liu Xi couldn't help sighing, and it took a long time to turn around and walk towards the gate of the Gongyuan with many people who were rushing to take the exam.

Outside the tribute courtyard, the soldiers carried lanterns to guard the surroundings, and the scholars of Ying Ke studied hard with the dim lanterns; There is a recitation in the mouth, and the hands are folded and saluted to heaven; There are also thieves and rat-eyed people who are trying their best to do deceptive things.

Compared with these people, Liu Xi, who was in the corner, seemed to be at ease.

The ugly hour was approaching, and in a commotion, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, and the dark crimson attendant of the Ministry of Rites walked out with people.

"Master Zhang has arrived, and the candidates will be admitted to the hospital for inventory inspection!"

The loud red voice overshadowed the noise and noise, and soon, many scholars walked in order towards the gate between the two stone lions, and after the inspection of several soldiers, they could enter the tribute courtyard.

In this way, it also opened Liu Xi's eyes, it is not uncommon to make a cheat sheet in his clothes, there are even belts sewn, inkstones are hidden, and even the brush rod is stuffed, it is really everything.

Stepping over a pile of silk cloth paper that had been searched out and full of words, Liu Xi took a small wooden sign with the words Ding Youjian in the West Courtyard written on it after being checked.

After entering the tribute courtyard, he walked to the west, and when he entered the west courtyard, Liu Xi found that there were dozens of small rooms that were separated, and he found his position, which was not wide, about half a zhang, enough for people to lie down, and it was no wonder that someone brought the bedding to come.

After sitting down, Liu Xi took out the oil lamp from the wooden box, lit it, put it on the table, and began to close his eyes and recuperate, listening to the footsteps of others hurrying in.

The ugly time was approaching, the gate of the Gongyuan was suddenly closed, and Liu Xi also got a thick test question, and the subset of poems and poems in the history were all in it.

After carefully browsing, the essence of the answer was conceived in his mind, and then Liu Xi raised his head to sharpen the ink, the ink was thick and scattered, and he dipped the pen in the ink and wrote quickly.

Because this test is related to the blood feud in the future, Liu Xi was not sloppy, and he didn't dare to waste half of the three days, so he didn't finish his answer until the hour was approaching.

After handing in the rice paper and test questions, with many scholars who had suffered from gains and losses, they walked out and went out, it was the time of high autumn and crisp weather, and the sun was shining so that it was a little difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Childe!"

Outside the Gong Courtyard, before he took a few steps, he heard a familiar voice coming, and when he looked up, he saw the little girl Wu Shuang'er waving her arms with him with a smile on her face.

"Childe, I've finally come out, but I'm tired?"

Different from the questions in her ears asking whether she was lifted, the little girl took the wooden box in Liu Xi's hand, and just asked him with a pain in her eyes that he had suffered in the past few days, and it seemed that she had already regarded the champion as his probe.

pinched Wu Shuang'er's little face, Liu Xi got into the carriage and laughed with Lin Yi and Xiaowu, and when the driving Qu Lang heard these laughter, he naturally whipped his horsewhip violently, and rushed back quickly before the crowd of people poured into the street.

The Ministry of Rites, the lights are bright, and after the end of the scientific examination, the busiest people are the people of the Ministry of Rites, who review the files all day long, although there are complaints, but there is also a secret joy in their hearts. They are also readers, and now, they can decide a person's future between lifting the pen, how can they not be happy?

At this moment, the public hall of the Ministry of Rites has been divided into many low cases, and Lu Hong, Shangshulang, is leading people to review under the lamp, among which there are people with white beards and green court clothes, these are old Confucians who are seconded from the Hanlin Academy.

"The Holy One has arrived!"

The sudden sharp cry made the people in the hall who were already dizzy when they read the file stunned, and it was also a loss that Lu Hong's eyes were quick, so he hurriedly dropped the cinnabar pen in his hand and stepped forward quickly.

"Chen Luhong has seen the saint."

As he spoke, the rest of the people came back to their senses, and stood up and saluted together, "The ministers have seen the saint." ”

Li Shan, who was dressed in a yellow dragon dance costume, waved his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, "This test is related to the national body, and it is not a matter for me to sit in the palace, so I came here to take a look." Lu Aiqing, two days have passed, can there be a person with the best talents? ”

"Back to the saint, under the all-night review of the ministers, eight or seven out of ten of the dossier have been read, and there are currently a few people who are quick to think and write brilliantly, and the ministers will take it for the saint to see."

"Don't hurry up and get it!"

Li Shan said very happily, Lu Hong walked quickly to the previous case, and carefully held several neatly placed files with both hands.

Li Shan looked at it very carefully, nodded with satisfaction from time to time, and when it came to the last one, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The handwriting is thin as muscles and bones, strong and powerful, and the poems are catchy but intriguing masterpieces, the last question is specially added by Li Shan, it is the policy of discussing the country, the first few people are all reciting the scriptures of the sages, praising the virtues of the court, and sprinkling thousands of words, only this volume is only more than 100 words, but Li Shan's eyes are bright.

"The red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is poured out; The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying; The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified; The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are blowing; The first child of strange flowers, the emperor is depressed; The cadres will be hairy, and there will be their mangs; The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow; Throughout the ages, there are eight wildernesses; The future is like the sea, and the future is long. Beautiful, I am young in China, and I am not old with the sky! Strong, I am a Chinese boy, and the country has no borders! ”

Almost in one breath, Li Shan read out these non-poetic words, and immediately his face was full of red light, tore open the seal of the paste, and said with a smile, "I know it's him!" ”

"The saint is wise, this son has excellent calligraphy, and he is even more talented, this 'young man' is only a short hundred and four words, but it is magnificent, short and concise, just like the words he wrote, Wei Chen has the courage to speak, and he can suppress the rest of the people with his talent."

Lu Hongxing saluted and said in a low voice, he had read this dossier from beginning to end, and he wanted to worry about this last deviant remark, but he really couldn't let go of the talent between the lines, so he presented it to Li Shan, and now Long Yan Dayue, he naturally recommended it.

"What Lu Aiqing wants coincides with me, and the first prize of this subject is given to him, you Aiqing will work hard for another day, and after reviewing the dossier, I will personally test these new subjects and scholars."

Temple exam?

The founding of the Tang Dynasty has never been seen since then, what a great honor it is!

When Lu Hong and the others were a little surprised, Li Shan had already laughed and left, and the words 'young and strong' could be faintly heard under the hearty laughter.
