On April 15, the government examination finally began.

The process of the prefectural test is similar to that of the county test, but it is more stringent.

Candidates are not allowed to bring any items into the room, pens, ink, special paper, etc. are provided by the examination room, the first two sessions are each tested for one day, the third session requires two days of examination, and the overnight quilt is also provided by the examination room, and each candidate is separated and occupies a place.

After the Gongyuan was locked, there were not only internal sergeants patrolling, but also sergeants guarding and patrolling outside.

Candidates are fixed in a small room, and there are special people waiting for them to eat and drink, and there are also special people to accompany and monitor the toilets. Even if you hand in the papers, you can't leave, you can only pull down the bell, and someone will come over immediately, paste the test papers, put them in a box, and then take them away.

After four days in a row, the government examination was completed, and the candidates came out of the Gongyuan, all of them exhausted. Xu Xian also felt tired, and was confined to a cramped room, using his brain at high intensity for four consecutive days, and no one could bear it.

Walking out of the Gongyuan, and Li Tong, Tang Xuan and others converged, everyone consciously avoided talking about the exam, chatted casually, and waited for everyone, and then went back to the Zhuangyuanlou Inn together.

When I returned to the inn, I took a shower first, got rid of the smell of not taking a bath for four days, then ate, and finally threw myself on the bed and fell asleep with my head covered.

The next day, Xu Xian woke up, he got up from the bed, and glanced out the window, it was dark, and it was not really dawn.

At this time, the inn was unprecedentedly quiet, and the sound of Lang reading aloud had already sounded at this time in the past.

Xu Xian got out of bed, lit the oil lamp, got dressed, finished washing, and then sat at the desk and read quietly.

He went well in this exam, which is a normal performance, and he is the head of the county test in Qiantang County, so there is almost no suspense in passing the government exam.

Therefore, he does not need to worry about the results of the government examination, he only needs to concentrate on preparing for the next college examination.

This year is the year of the annual examination, and according to the usual practice, after the results of the government examination are "released", the hospital examination will be held in about half a month.

Only by passing the court examination can one truly show off one's talents, become a member of the ruling class, and obtain privileges such as not bowing to officials, being exempt from torture, exempting from forced labor and paying taxes, and so on.

Two days later, on the third day after the end of the government examination, it was finally time to "release the row".

The number of admission places in this government examination is 130, which sounds like a great chance, but it is not.

Because there are more than 300 candidates in Lin'an City!

Lin'an City is the capital of the city, with a large population and the most developed and prosperous city in the country, so the candidates who have passed the county examination in the city government far exceed the county seat, and also exceed the general prefecture city.

Of course, since it is the capital and the most prosperous and developed city, the number of talent shows naturally has an advantage, second only to Kyoto Bianjing.

On the day of the release, the usually lively Zhuangyuanlou Inn was empty.

Xu Xian, Li Tong, Tang Xuan, and a few talented friends from neighboring counties who were newly made in Lin'an City went to watch the list together.

Arriving at the place where the list was released, it was also crowded with people, Xu Xian and the others did not want to be crowded, so they could only wait on the periphery, chatting casually, and distracting the tension.

Although Li Tong, Tang Xuan and others were sure that Xu Xian would definitely pass the government examination, no one dared to be sure that Xu Xian would be the head of the high school case.

Lin'an City Government Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, City Government candidates have too much advantage over the candidates from the counties under its jurisdiction.

"It's out! It's out! ”

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, and almost everyone was in a complete commotion, and the voices were so loud and deafening that even the drumming of the officials was drowned out.

After a while, an exclamation came out: "Ah, the head of the case is Xu Xian, Xu Xian from Qiantang County!! ”

"Brother Hanwen, congratulations!" Li Tong, Tang Xuan and the others immediately smiled and bowed their hands to Xu Xian.

The first case of the high school government examination means that he has won the fame of Xiucai in advance.

Xu Xian couldn't help but smile, and returned the salute and said, "Thank you, thank you, thanks to your support and care." ”

can successfully pass the examination in one fell swoop, and at least have a good life in the future. Even if you don't participate in the imperial examination in the future, it is not difficult to flexibly use the insights and ideas of your previous life to make a fortune and live a leisurely life with the fame and privilege of Xiucai.

After knowing that Xu Xian had been hit by the case, although Li Tong, Tang Xuan and others stretched their necks to look at the wall of the list from time to time, they were still patient and did not rush in to watch the list.

After another stick of incense, a group of people suddenly approached Xu Xian.

The group was richly dressed and haughty, with no eyes left, and was followed by a group of well-dressed servants.

"You're Xu Xian, right?" The leader of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old brocade-clothed boy pointed his nostrils at Xu Xian, and his tone was provocative.

Xu Xian's brows furrowed slightly, and Li Tong beside him had already shouted angrily: "Who are you?" Did you talk like that? ”

"Wang Shao is someone you can't afford to mess with! Tu Baozi, Wang Shao doesn't have the right for you to interject! A young man behind the brocade-clothed boy immediately reprimanded arrogantly.

Li Tong was furious, and when he was about to take a step forward and go crazy, Xu Xian grabbed him, and then said coldly to the leading brocade-clothed young man: "You are Wang Yun, the head of the Fucheng County trial, right?" ”

"You still have a little eyesight!" The brocade clothes are young and contemptuous.

When Li Tong learned that the other party was Wang Yun, he was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back.

In Lin'an City for a month, the candidates basically know who the county test leader of each county and the city government is. Wang Yun, the head of the Fucheng case, has a great background, and can even be called a relative of the emperor, Li Tong is just a son of the Wang clan in Qiantang County, so he is naturally afraid that he will almost have a direct conflict with Wang Yun.

Wang Yun is the head of the Fucheng County trial case, and according to the general practice, there is a greater chance that the head of the government trial case is his.

I only heard Wang Yun continue: "You robbed me of the head of the government test, and I couldn't get the little three yuan, I am very unhappy." ”

"What do you mean by robbery?" Xu Xian said sarcastically without fear, "The exam is more about learning, and whoever has a high level of talent is the head of the case." Your talent is not as good as mine, why should you take the case? ”

"You!" Wang Yun's face turned red with anger, he didn't expect a hillbilly from the countryside to dare to contradict him.

Xu Xian sneered: "What are you? If you're not convinced, you can give it a try now and convince you! ”

Wang Yun was even more angry and trembled all over, Xu Xian was a recognized talent who was famous throughout Lin'an City, how could he really compare his talents with Xu Xian in public, so he could only be aggrieved and did not dare to speak out.

"Xu Xian, how did you speak?!" The young man who scolded Li Tong just now shouted, "Wang Shao is the nephew of Wang Guiren, who is favored by the emperor today, and the beloved son of Lord Wang, the Tongzhi of Qingzhou Mansion, how dare you be rude to Wang Shao?!" ”

"Shut up!" Xu Xian pointed at the young man and shouted, "I, Xu Xian, speak, it's not your turn to interject!" If you offend me, you will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future! ”

The young man was scolded by Xu Xian, and he was angry at first, but then he came to his senses, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and obediently closed his mouth.

Xu Xian is talented and famous in Lin'ancheng, and now he has the first place in the government examination in high school, and he has booked a talent show in advance, not to mention that he is still a disciple of the great Confucian Zhang Jingming, which can be described as a promising future. Although he, Lu Huan, followed behind Wang Yun and pretended to be a tiger, he did not have a strong background, and he failed the government exam this time, how could he not be afraid that Xu Xian would really take revenge on him in the future?

Li Tong saw that the young man was scolded by Xu Xian and shut up and didn't dare to refute, he was greatly relieved, and secretly thanked Xu Xian for being angry with him.
