The imperial examination of the Han Dynasty has a long history, at first it was to select outstanding talents for the central government, and set up an examination, which began to follow the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, only for the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and later opened the threshold, the children of the poor family were able to participate, and the acquisition of examination qualifications also became easy.

"Huai Media Disc is self-recommended', as long as there is a recommendation or self-recommendation from a person with a high reputation in the local area, you can take the exam, and Sun Qi was recommended by Mr. Cha.

"Do you have everything you need for the exam? Pen and paper, ink and dry food. ”

"Brother Qi,

Jiangning County's science field was located near the county guard's mansion, because it was convenient for the county guard to inspect the examination, bidding farewell to the blacksmith king, Sun Qi and Wu Qiuyue came to the examination room early to wait.

At this time, it is already crowded with people, waiting in long lines to enter.

"Now that I've checked my identity, I've taken out the letters!"

The letter is a kind of thing similar to the admission ticket, which is issued by the locality, and the officers at the door must check it one by one, so that no one will take the exam or miss the exam, of course, if you miss the exam, you will have to wait for next year.

Similar to checking documents before exams in her previous life, it was a routine, but Wu Qiuyue didn't want to have this business. Because she had already committed a big taboo, she disguised herself as a man to take the exam.

The team soon took Sun Qi's turn, and an errand officer glanced back and forth on Wu Qiuyue's body, and his gaze seemed to be very suspicious.

With this delicate face, petite figure, and delicate skin, is it really a man?

The errand officer stared at Wu Qiuyue for a long time, looking back and forth in important parts, as if he was looking for evidence.

Wu Qiuyue was stared at by this servant uncomfortably, her face turned crimson, and her hands began to twist on her sleeves.

"You must know that a woman who disguises herself as a man for the exam will be exiled for ten years."

The officer shouted and asked.

The atmosphere became very strange in an instant, and many scholars in front of them also looked back, what, there was a woman to take the exam, it was really a once-in-a-century miracle.

The scene became chattering, of course Sun Qi couldn't let it go, if Wu Qiuyue was banned from taking the exam, he wouldn't take the exam anymore, and he came out of the ditch together, and when he came out, he was a person who lived for a life, and both of them either took the test or didn't take the test.

So immediately turned sideways in front of Wu Qiuyue,

But they didn't know that the women who came out of the first school in eastern Zhejiang finally embarked on the road of the imperial examination.

"This is the youngest brother in the family, because he has been weak since he was a child, so he looks like a woman, but he is a real man!"

Sun Qi hurriedly went up to explain, thinking that this errand was really unforgiving, and who knew who was male or female when he put it in for the exam.

Time was dragged on, less than half an hour before the cannon sounded, and if you couldn't get in, you would have to wait for next year.

Sun Qi secretly scolded this errand in his heart for being impersonal, but as everyone knows, if a woman is found to have entered the examination room, the errand who checks the letter will have to be dismissed, and the end will be no less than exile.

This errand can be regarded as dutiful.

"No, this person looks like a woman, I can't put it in for the exam, if I go in and find out that it's a woman, my job will be lost."

"What? You are from the county guard's office, even if the county guard comes in person, it is impossible for this suspect to be put in. ”

This errand became more and more arrogant, and in the end, only Sun Qi and Wu Qiuyue were left at the door, and they were in a stalemate with this troublesome errand officer.

Many people who went in looked at Sun Qi regretfully, poor children, who had studied hard for several years, because they couldn't enter the examination room, and they had to wait for next year, how much psychological pressure should they have in this year?

Just when things were inseparable, a person rode a horse from a distance, and when Sun Qi saw it, he felt that this person was extremely kind.

Full of white hair, fluttering and chic, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that the crane hair is childish, Pegasus ran to the door of the examination room, and saw that two people had not yet entered the exam, so he dismounted and asked.

"What's going on?"

The messenger described the suspicion of Wu Qiuyue to the old man in detail, and his attitude was very respectful, as if he had seen someone of extremely prominent status.

But after hearing this, the plainly dressed old man looked at Sun Qi with a smile in his eyes, and he looked suddenly enlightened.

"I see, then girl, come over and let the old man take a look!"

Wu Qiuyue was about to argue loudly that I was not a woman, but when she thought about it, in broad daylight, this kind of statement was really embarrassing, and she immediately blushed.

Sun Qi was surprised and said that this old man was really insightful, his eyes were as bright as air, and he could see at a glance that Wu Qiuyue was dressed as a man, and secretly said in his heart, it seems that he can only wait for next year, Sun Qi pity Wu Qiuyue is full of ambition, but because of his gender, he cannot accept this broad road.

Sun Qi pulled Wu Qiuyue at the moment, and prepared to leave the examination room without looking back. Who knows this old man

"Haha, what's wrong with the woman, can't the woman take the exam? My order, let these two go in for the exam. ”

This old man's words were amazing, not only did Sun Qi not believe his ears, but even the servants felt that they had heard it wrong.

"What did you say, sir?"

The servant carefully emphasized that he did not hear clearly, which made the old man unhappy.

"The invigilation team from the imperial court, when they come up in my place, they have to listen to the rules of my place, the old man allows this woman to enter, what's wrong, I repeat, she is allowed to enter."

The old man seemed to be angry, and shouted loudly, which was very different from his attitude towards Wu Qiuyue's charity.

Sun Qi stopped when he heard this, pulled Wu Qiuyue, handed her a piece of paper, asked her to wipe away her tears, and comforted her softly.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is not suitable, if it is really a woman's entry, the little one will not be able to keep this job when he goes back, please don't make it too difficult."

The officer was obviously afraid of the strict orders of the imperial court, and he was eager for this regulation, and even if he died today, he could not let the woman enter. So the tone is also very bad at the moment.

"You don't listen to the old ones? If you don't listen to me today, with the influence of the old decay in the court, it will not be easy to get rid of you, the little minion of the Ministry of Officials, with a piece of paper. ”

Not to be outdone, the old man's face changed, and he took out a big card to scare the errand officer.

The officer immediately stopped talking, as if he was afraid of the old man's words, and froze in place.

"Grandpa, if the court stipulates it, we won't take the exam, don't hurt your harmony for this."

Sun Qi explained that this strange old man actually had a conflict with the people in the court for his own sake, and he couldn't help it.

"No, you two have to go in for the exam today, the exam is for the court to select talents, whether male or female, it's not all the same, you go in quickly, this girl, pursue your dreams as much as possible, go in for the exam, what are the consequences, I will carry it for you!"

Sun Qi thanked the old man for his help, bowed sincerely to the old man with Wu Qiuyue, and then walked quickly into the gate of the examination institute.

"My lord, today's incident, the little one remembers it, if the woman is found out from above, you will have to go around without eating."

The messenger looked at Sun Qi's disappearing back, gritted his teeth, and said, as if he was going to eat this old man raw.

The old man got on his horse and left, and said, "When did I Lu Ji be afraid of those guys in the Ministry of Officials...."
