The inspection of the entrance examination will be more lax than that of the township examination, mainly because the people who will enter the examination are all lifting people, and their social status will be very high, while the soldiers who are searching for the examination are only some civilians, and they dare not have any unruly behavior towards these people.

In addition, if the imperial court wants to maintain the social status of the people, so that they can obtain a high status if they have a human name, and the exemption from servitude is the most basic, and even at the time of the examination, it can not be strictly searched, but only do some routine inspections, which is also to let the scholars see hope.

For most readers, lifting people is a life goal that can be expected after all, and being a jinshi is an unattainable goal, because there are so many people in the world who read, and only 300 people are admitted in three years, which is too much pressure on ordinary readers.

Ji Ning was not at the front, but his position was also relatively high, he took his test basket, lined up until he walked to the search place in front of the gate, and two soldiers came up and saluted: "This lifting man, please show us your knot and examination tools, thank you!" ”

The words are quite respectful.

Ji Ning handed the basket up, and the soldiers didn't even dare to turn it over, because it was something that everyone could eat, and it would be a sin for them to stain the food.

The last soldier reminded, "This man, you know that you can't carry paper and words on you, do you?" ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded.

"Then please come in, this is your number plate, you are in the T-shaped scientific examination house on the left, come over personally, accompany this old man Ji to the number house, if you can't find it, I will ask you!" Soldiers are literate, when they check the knot, they will see Ji Ning's place of origin and name, and there will also be the results of the township test, when the soldier is now the current year's new people, they will be extra careful, because these people are likely to be excellent learners, and these new people are arrogant, it is easy to make some trouble, and they must stutter.

On the contrary, those old candidates who have taken the examination several times will not be as sharp as these newcomers, and they don't have to speak too politely.

Because Ji Ning is still the new Jinling Township test Xie Yuan, it is a little scary in the eyes of these soldiers, after all, the Jinling Township Test is also the Jiangnan Township Test, and Jiangnan has always been a place rich in talents, a Jiangnan Township Test Xie Yuan, may be more difficult than a Jinshi, the previous Jiangnan Township Test Xie Yuan, after several sessions of the examination, basically won the Jinshi.

A soldier came to lead the way and took Ji Ning in the direction of Kaoshe.

In the examination, the soldiers who led the way would leave after taking Ji Ning to the house, and the soldiers in the prison would be replaced with a batch the next day, so that the candidates inside would not know who the soldiers outside were at all, and the possibility of bribing the soldiers outside was eliminated.

And it is a change for every exam, which means that the soldiers guarding outside the gate will be changed three times in the nine-day exam.

These soldiers are all from the Beijing Division, in an era of emphasizing literature and light on martial arts, the status of these soldiers is not very high, they will look very inferior in front of an ordinary scholar, let alone in front of a public like Ji Ning.

"Master, this is your house, you can compare it and see if it's right!"

The soldiers who led the way were illiterate, but they would be familiar with the site before, and all the soldiers had to know where the number of their subject was, and even some simple words had to be memorized, such as A, B, C, D, for example, 123.

Ji Ning's test house is the 6th team of the T-shaped family, and there are nearly a thousand T-shaped houses alone, and Ji Ning's number house is very ordinary among all the number houses.

The number of candidates for this examination is about 11,000, and the total number of candidates is also amazing.

When Ji Ning entered the house, he first had to check whether the facilities inside were complete, including the wooden planks for sleeping, no bedding, no basins or other daily necessities, and even the bamboo tubes or tea bowls for drinking water needed to be brought by himself.

In addition to these, it is the toilet, fortunately, it is also a winter exam, and the exam also gives face, and the candidates are prepared with brand new toilets, but even so, in a test room that is only two or three square meters in size, it is not very comfortable to guard the toilet for the exam.

There is also a wooden barrel next to it, which is used to hold water, and there is only one pen wash, not even a table or chair, and two planks are put together for the exam, stuck in the cracks of the wall, one is high and one is short, one is used as a stool and one is used as a chair, and if you want to sleep, put two planks side by side, just the right height.

Ji Ning came in wearing some heavy clothes, it was still February, the weather was very cold, Ji Ning was also prepared, if the temperature was high during the day, you could take off your clothes and use them as cushions, and you could use your clothes as a quilt cover at night.

And the clothes he was wearing, that is, the down jacket he had prepared before, and a very thick padded jacket.

"This gentleman, you have checked first, if it is okay, we will lock it for you!" An outer curtain officer, that is, a deacon, came over and spoke.

Ji Ning nodded and said, "No problem!" ”

After speaking, he himself sat down on the temporary wooden plank, the door was closed, there was a noise outside, and finally the door was locked, and Ji Ning was completely cut off from the outside world.

When the small door closed, Ji Ning felt very dark inside, but fortunately, there was a small hole in the door to communicate with the outside world.

Because of the experience of the township examination, Ji Ning does not feel how hard the conditions are here, at least the examination equipment for each session of the examination is new, which is also to take care of the examination conditions of all the candidates for the examination, and many of the equipment in the township examination are old, and they have also coped with it, and this examination is pediatrics in Ji Ning's opinion.

Ji Ning didn't have any paper on hand, and as for the volume, it wouldn't come down until the next day, and there was no book in hand at this time, and in a dark environment, his only feeling was loneliness.

The weather outside was not warm, and Ji Ning didn't plan to make a fire, but seeing that it was dark, there were still candles and fire folds in the test house.

"The old man inside, there are only three candles, you save a little use, it's best to keep it for the exam, as for this fire fold, if it doesn't work, you can tell us, and it will be changed for you in the middle!" The soldiers outside were also polite.

Ji Ning didn't respond to anything, and put the three candles up, and he was also a little at a loss at this time.

The exam is only the next day, and people in this era are used to going to bed early, and his habit is to sleep late.

In the past, when I was a night owl, I would be more energetic in reading, but when I arrived in the Gongyuan, the disadvantages were also reflected, and I couldn't sleep for a long time after nightfall.
