After his mother died, his grandmother Sun Yang was unwilling to spend any more money for him to study, and when Sun Chen had no choice but to drop out of school, Huang Xiucai came to persuade him, with the intention of not wanting the Sun family to give up Sun Chen, a good seedling. But he came full of hope, but was scolded by Sun Yang and driven out.

"Short-sighted, ignorant! You may have wiped out a rising Wenqu star with your own hands! ”

"Wenqu Xing? My Sun Bin is. Sun Yang crossed his hands on his hips.

"You! It's unbelievable! ”

Sun Chen still remembers the time when he blushed and pointed to the closed door of Sun's house and jumped to his feet.

I don't know if it's because he feels ashamed of Huang Xiucai's expectations, or because he is afraid that he will be uncomfortable when he sees the students in the school class, since Sun Chen is not in the school, he has never dared to come over to take a look.

Even if he wanted to pick up the textbook again to test Xiucai, he didn't want to come to him for help, but worked hard silently on the side.

……

On the 17th of March, the county school, which was the center of the children's examination, had already been heavily guarded, and two pairs of officials with a pair of iron rulers on their backs stood at the door, waiting for the candidates to enter the examination.

Put the proof representing your identity in front of the document in charge of inspection, and let him check whether it is the person who took the exam, and then the two catchers next to him will carefully check until they are sure that the candidate is not a substitute for the examinee and does not carry a cheat sheet, and then he will be allowed to enter.

I don't know how they confirmed whether it was the candidate himself, and whether the age was overdue, Sun Chen really let them find out two substitute exams, and three of them had exceeded the maximum age line of twenty-five years old.

Three other people were found to have cheat sheets, two were found in the futon, and one of them actually put the cheat sheet in the steamed bun brought in, which they all found. Not surprisingly, they were all disqualified from the exam.

Because the exam lasts for two days, it takes nearly a whole day just to check the entrance, so to avoid trouble, all candidates want to bring enough food and bedding for three days, and when they arrive at the meal, the service staff in the examination room will each distribute a bowl of hot water, and eat the steamed buns soft and soft.

The futon is dismantled and inspected, and the woman recruited by the county government will help you sew it on the spot, and the broken steamed buns will not work, so the food that everyone brings in will not have a complete steamed bun, and they will all be torn apart.

The two-day children's examination not only tested their knowledge, but also examined the physical fitness of the candidates. If you are unfortunate enough to get sick during the exam and cannot continue, then sorry, you will have to quit and wait for the next time.

What Sun Chen brought was Niu's steamed steamed buns with white flour mixed with millet flour, which looked similar to cornmeal tortillas on the outside, but it tasted very different, and the person in charge of checking the steamed buns smelled the aroma and couldn't hold back it, and after taking a bite, he smiled at him: "Brother, you are good!" This steamed bun is delicious, and the mood for the exam is good, so the results will naturally not be bad. ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words!" Sun Chen smiled in return. "This strip of meat is not bad, I brought too much, I will divide it with you."

"Hehe, thank you~"

The people around looked at Sun Chen and frowned dissatisfiedly, Nima actually took bribes openly, can he still check it properly?

……

After passing the inspection, Sun Chen only had time to say hello to Chu Chengfeng and Yang Shuping, who sent him over, and was taken into the examination room, and according to the number issued to him, Sun Chen quickly found the cabin that belonged to him.

As soon as I entered, I found that in addition to a table with the four treasures of the study, only the small bed was empty. Fortunately, there is a small window on the wall next to the door, so that the door is closed and the room is not dark. The futon in his hand was quickly laid out, and the steamed buns and food were also placed at the head of the bed, Sun Chen first picked up the brush and ink used in the exam and looked at it carefully.

This is what Chu Chengfeng especially reminded Sun Chen to pay attention to. Because as far as he knew, someone only found out that there were subtle problems with these things at the beginning of the exam, although the exam room was transferred to him in time, but it destroyed his state of mind during the exam, and finally played abnormally, so he could only lose the exam room.

"It's not bad, lake pen, Hui ink, rice paper, Duan inkstone, although it is not the best grade, but it is also the best grade, but I didn't expect Youlan County to be quite generous to the candidates." Sun Chen took the pen in his hand and tried the feel, then put down the thing and nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, he didn't know how many people in a place could successfully achieve fame in that year, and it was related to the achievements of the government officials of that time. There is money in the treasury of Yulan County, so of course it is not hesitant to invest more in this area.

Following Chu Chengfeng is not only about learning poetry and songs, but also about the appreciation of the four treasures of the study, Sun Chen is also quite researched. The more he knew, the more Sun Chen felt that it was difficult for him to be from a poor family and still achieve good results in the imperial examination.

Just the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used to practice calligraphy are already a lot of expenses, and often their spending for a month is enough for a family of four to eat for three months.

Qin Zifeng was able to stand out among the so many talents who participated in last year's autumn in the Apocalypse Dynasty and became the top spot, and the hard work and price paid in it were obviously more than others.

It's still early, and it will take a long time for all the candidates to enter, anyway, the exam will be tomorrow, after Sun Chen cleaned up, he closed the door and lay on the small bed with his eyes closed.

At noon, he came out and asked for a bowl of boiling water and brought it into the hut, the steamed buns were soaked soft, and the air-dried pork strips made by Niu's were eaten, and Sun Chen ate them with relish.

After eating, I returned the dishes and chopsticks, and on the way back, I met many candidates who also came out to let off the wind after eating. Their faces are either cautious or arrogant, but they are inevitably anxious about the upcoming exams.

The youngest Sun Chen looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, and he was qualified to be recommended to participate in the children's examination, which can be regarded as a teenager. But seeing his head about to reach the sky, most people didn't want to exchange even a word with him.

Anyone present could be a match for him, and now they can't afford to curry favor with any of them. Of course, when the results of the exam come out, it will have to be a different story.

The eldest is only twenty-five years old, and it is obviously not the first time they have come here, and they seem to be much more skilled than rookies like Sun Chen when they go in and out of various places, and they will hang out with each other and share the food they bring in.

There was no one who knew them Sun Chen, and he didn't have the desire to know, and after solving his physical needs, he continued to go back to his room to sleep.

It wasn't until it was dark that the hustle and bustle outside stopped, and the entire examination room fell silent, and all the candidates stayed in their respective cabins.
