After dinner, the sun had just set.

Xu Xian wanted to go out for a casual walk to relieve the feeling of fullness in his stomach, but he was asked by Li Gongfu and his wife to take a bath immediately, and then went into the bedroom to sleep.

It turned out that the start time of the next day's exam was before dawn, and according to the convention, candidates had to enter the exam room at the end of the fourth watch in the middle of the night. It takes time to get from home to the exam room, and it also takes time to wash, dress and eat after waking up.

That is, you must get up in the middle of the night for tomorrow's county exam.

After taking a bath, Xu Xian was pushed into the bedroom by Li Xu and Li Gongfu.

"Hanwen, my brother-in-law has official business, so I can't send you to the exam." Li Gongfu said guiltily, "But don't worry, I have already arranged the carriage and everything, and someone will pick you up when you arrive at the examination room." ”

The order of the examination room needs to be maintained by the officials, and as a headhunter, he has a heavy responsibility, so he really can't ask for leave to send Xu Xian to the exam.

Xu Xian nodded: "Got it, brother-in-law, please rest assured." ”

"Rest well." Li Gongfu patted Xu Xian, and Li Xu exited Xu Xian's bedroom and closed the door.

Xu Xian changed into pajamas and lay on his back on the bed.

He is usually used to going to bed late, but at this time he really has no sleepiness, he looks at the top of the mosquito net above, and his mood is inevitably a little complicated and delusional.

It was also a while since he traveled to ancient times, and now he has finally participated in the imperial examination.

In his previous life, his deepest impression of ancient times was the imperial examination, which is also the impression that most modern people must not get around when they mention ancient times.

"Ha, I'm really integrated into the ancients." Xu Xian couldn't help but whisper to himself.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Xu Xian didn't deliberately want to go to bed early, but gradually felt a little sleepy, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep all of a sudden.

At the end of the third watch and the beginning of the fourth watch, Xu Xian was woken up by Li Xu in his sleep.

Xu Xian woke up, full of energy, and didn't have the slightest sense of sleepiness in getting up early.

Under the waiting of Li Xu, Xu Xian finished washing and dressing, and then had breakfast.

Breakfast was made before Xu Xian got up, and when he ate breakfast, Li Xu specially mentioned that this breakfast was made with the help of Li Gongfu.

After breakfast, Li Xu carefully checked the examination basket to prevent missing important things.

Xu Xian watched from the side, and saw that the examination basket was neatly and orderly filled with pen and ink and paperweights, as well as rice balls, steamed buns and other food.

The exam lasts until dusk and candidates are not allowed to leave the exam room, so candidates must bring their own food to solve the problem of hunger at noon.

Li Xu held the examination basket in one hand and the lantern in the other, and led Xu Xian towards the gate of the courtyard.

The courtyard door opened, and Xu Xian saw that there were already carriages parked outside, and there were two of them.

It turned out that Li Gongfu was worried that only one carriage would be prone to accidents and delay Xu Xian's exam, so he invited an extra carriage.

"Gongzi Xu, Mrs. Li." The two coachmen jumped down from the carriage and walked up to Xu Xian and Li Xu and shouted respectfully.

Xu Xian arched his hand and said, "There are two big brothers." ”

"Xu Gongzi doesn't have to be polite. Li Zhutou has a lot of favors to us on weekdays, and we are desperate to send Xu Gongzi to the examination room smoothly. The two coachmen said, "Mr. Xu and Mrs. Li, please get into the carriage." ”

So, Xu Xian and Li Xu each boarded a carriage, and then the carriage started and drove towards the examination room.

Arrived outside the examination room smoothly, and at this time, there were already people outside the examination room, and the officials were doing their best to maintain order.

Xu Xian and Li Xu got out of the carriage, and immediately two young officials came up to meet them.

These two young servants were arranged by Li Gongfu to receive Xu Xian and Li Xu.

There were two officials who led the way, Xu Xian and Li Xu avoided the crowded situation at night and did not know the direction, and walked to the entrance of the examination room smoothly to line up, waiting for the hour to enter the examination room.

On the fifth watch, the door of the examination room finally opened slowly, and the candidates entered the room in turn.

At this time, the officials began to drive away the family members who sent them to the test, and drove the family members two or three hundred meters away to avoid interfering with the entrance inspection.

Before entering the gate, candidates must line up in several rows to be strictly inspected by the officials.

The officials held lanterns and carefully watched the appearance of the candidates who were about to pass the Yuanmen to prevent substitute examinations, and then carefully searched the candidates' whole bodies to prevent entrainment of cheat sheets, and even the steamed rice balls were not spared.

Xu Xian carried the examination basket and calmly waited to enter the gate, when he suddenly heard a noisy roar from another gate in the distance, as well as the sound of laughter and laughter.

He listened intently, and faintly heard a man screaming out for injustice.

Just as he was puzzled, he heard the candidate next to him whispering.

"I don't know which stupid person it is, but he actually wants to bring a cheat sheet into the examination room. Which exam is not rigorous? was searched by the official and found out, but he shouted and shouted injustice, really thinking that everyone else was stupid. ”

"Yes, other officials have no grievances with you, how can they wronged you? Besides, for such a serious matter as the imperial examination, the officials did not dare to wronged anyone. ”

"That man has been deposed. Cheating in the imperial examination is a big crime, not only was he shackled by the official to show the public, but he also had to be told the big board of the county lord when he turned around, and saw how he would look up and see people in the future? ”

"This is not serious, the most serious thing is that he wants to participate in the imperial examination in the future."

The examinees discussed for a while and then stopped, because it was also their turn to be inspected by the officials.

"Two officials, you have already touched my whole body twice......"

An old man's cry sounded from a queue on the side, Xu Xian turned his head to look along the sound, and saw a Confucian with gray hair and a hunched back crying out aggrievedly with his hands raised.

"You are a 'famous' old boy in our Qiantang County, you have been admitted at the age of sixteen to now have gray hair and beard for so many years, who knows if you will be unwilling to have crooked thoughts?" A servant said with a smile, and searched the old boy with both hands, "Didn't the other gate just now find someone carrying a cheat sheet?" ”

Another official also said: "Lao He, you can't blame us. You don't have much hope, but if we are negligent and make mistakes, we will not only lose our jobs, but also go to jail for it. ”

At this time, the candidates in front of Xu Xian passed the inspection and entered the gate smoothly, and it was Xu Xian's turn.

"It turned out to be Xu Gongzi, let's go in. I wish you the first place in high school (the first place in the children's test). "When the few officials in charge of inspecting Xu Xian saw that it was Xu Xian, they immediately said respectfully, without checking Xu Xian, and directly let Xu Xian enter the gate.

"Wait, he can go in without checking, you cheat!" Lao He, who had been suspected of being inspected for a long time and still hadn't passed, suddenly pointed at Xu Xian and shouted.

The officials laughed for a while, and one of the officials laughed and scolded: "Lao He, are your eyes red? If you have his identity and talent, we will just let you in. ”

"Could it be that he is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing?" Lao He shouted unconvinced.

The officials smiled and said, "It's the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing!" Do you know what his name is? Xu Xian, Xu Hanwen! Zhang Gong's disciple, the Mid-Autumn Festival composed a poem, even the heavenly Chang'e was shocked to come down to the earth to dance, Xiao Liao and Xuezheng were moved to tears, praising this poem should only be in the sky, and then there will be no Mid-Autumn Festival poems! It's a sure thing that he passed the show! Do you say people need to cheat on cheat sheets? ”

"It turned out to be Xu Gongzi, who 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together', and he was convinced." When Lao He learned Xu Xian's identity and name, he was immediately in awe.

The candidates who also had whispers in their hearts next to them were also relieved, thinking that it was natural for Xu Xian to pass directly without inspection.
