"This is Lang Jun's room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The little official led Wang An to the door of a room, Wang An looked at the door, in addition to his own name, there was also a man named Zhuge Liang. Wang Ansai gave the little official a golden sentence, and the little official left happily. Wang An pushed open the door and entered, but he didn't expect that there was already someone in the room. looked at the room, one east and one west, there was a box in front of each bed, and there were two desks between the two beds, and the people in the room were sitting there eating, and when they saw Wang An coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted: "Zhuge Liang in Langya." Wang An returned the salute: "Wang An in Xia Xinye." ”

Wang An glanced at Zhuge Liang's case: "Isn't it forbidden to bring food here?" Zhuge Liang opened the box, took out the pottery urn and pottery bowl, opened the pottery urn, scooped a few spoonfuls and handed them to Wang An, Wang An saw that it was chicken stewed mushrooms. Zhuge Liang sat down: "You are not allowed to bring food, but you don't say that you are not allowed to ask someone to buy it." These little officials were all called from Taixue to help. It's too hard, the court despises it, the school building is simple, the money is meager, and there is no hope of promotion, so these little officials rely on this to make some money. As long as you give money, you will be given whatever you want to eat. After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth.

Wang An also ate a piece of chicken: "Listening to Brother Zhuge say this, have you ever been in Taixue?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded: "The location is remote, the school building is simple, the house is leaking rain, the house is flooded, and there is no famous teacher Confucianism who came to give lectures, and I learned to eat after staying for a year." The family called me back. Zhuge Liang took out a pot of wine and two cups from the box again: "You are not allowed to light a stove in the room, otherwise you can drink warm wine." The two of them did it all.

Wang An suddenly remembered someone: "Brother Zhuge is from Langya County, I don't know if anyone from the Langya Wang family will take the exam of the general." ”

"How can this kind of good thing be missing from the Wang family," Zhuge Liang shook his head, "The Taishou and Duwei of Langya County are all relatives and friends of the Wang family, and Wang Ji's grandson Wang Chong is also a big Sinon, so everyone is not competing with each other, so they recommended a few, it is because there are too many relatives of the Wang family, so the Zhuge family was added to show fairness." But I was worried about the Zhuge family, so I recommended the Zhuge family. ”

"This is not a virtuous and good Fangzhengke, why does the Langya Wang clan also participate?" Wang An asked.

"These are all side lines, even if they lose face, it doesn't matter, if they can become officials, it can be regarded as an unexpected joy. But down there is going to be with them. After speaking, Zhuge Liang got up and lay down on the couch, covered his head and fell asleep, and Wang An had to help him clean up the mess.

The next day, the two were woken up by the sound of a gong, followed by the sound of "get up, it's time to eat". So Wang An and Zhuge Liang got up and dressed, went to the dining hall to eat under the leadership of the little official, and then returned to the dormitory to read. In this way, the two of them spent the day in one line. After dinner, when I returned to the dormitory, the little officials went from room to room to inform that tomorrow Weiyang Palace would send eunuchs to teach His Majesty's ceremony, so as not to lose the honor of everyone in front of the king.

"Sit, get up, salute, finish, sit", a eunuch in front of the priest to see His Majesty, several eunuchs stand next to supervise, to see if the etiquette of the scholar is standardized. Three kneels and nine knocks, this is for the deceased, and now the most noble etiquette is the chief salute, but the time is strictly controlled, it depends on the individual's own understanding. As a result, in addition to eating, everyone was practicing etiquette one day, and Wang An saw a few elderly people falling to the ground and being carried out for treatment. In the evening, Wang An's waist couldn't straighten up, and he didn't eat dinner, so he went to rest on the couch.

On the third day, all the scholars were not allowed to go out of the room, and the Weiyang Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion jointly checked the identities of the scholars, and after checking, they locked the door and did not go out again, and the meal was delivered to the door by the small officials. There is an extra toilet in each room for people to untie their hands. Wang An felt that going to prison was nothing more than that, but Zhuge Liang said: "That's because Brother Wang has never been in prison, and he can't imagine the badness of the cell." ”

On the fourth day, at the beginning of the hour, everyone was called up, washed up, in order to prevent disrespect to His Majesty during the examination, breakfast was only flatbread and a little water, everyone tacitly only ate flatbread, and some old men simply did not eat flatbread, and sat there. Until the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion came in and asked everyone to prepare to enter the palace, everyone formed a team according to the state and county, and marched to Weiyang Palace. Wang An stood behind Deng Hua, behind Wang An was the Fan family in Huyang, and everyone was from Nanyang County, so they were together. Everyone carried their exam supplies and lined up to go to the east of Weiyang Palace, where the Prime Minister's Mansion handed over everyone to the Weiyang palace guard, and the palace guard escorted them to the East Sima Gate. When passing through the East Sima Gate, the people's belongings were checked again to prevent anyone from entering with weapons. After the inspection, the eunuch who was waiting here led the way to the front hall.

Entering the front hall, everyone saluted the three dukes, the great Sima Ding Ming, the prime minister Wang Jia and the imperial historian Jia Yan, who were already sitting in the main hall, and then sat down under the guidance of the eunuchs. After everyone was done, Prime Minister Wang Jia got up and said: "Your Majesty, in order to be sympathetic to everyone, the current department will only test the assignment and strategy, and the first session will be held today, please do one for the candidates." ”

Wang An wrote his name on the test paper, and then wrote down the three words "Hao Shifu": "The foundation of Fu Lide is constant, but the path of meritorious service is different." How? Those who follow the heart and think that the measure exists in me, and the one who accomplishes things depends on him. He who exists in me will be killed in his domain; What happened to Feng Youwei was ...... "Wang An didn't want to write too fast, so he stopped writing and pretended to think about it." Prime Minister Wang Jia began to patrol the field, and Wang An had no choice but to continue writing, "And good honor and disgrace, there is a great period of life; In terms of avoiding profit and harm, ghosts and gods are still inevitable. The master of man is in charge of his regular handle, and the world obeys his great festival...... If you don't do this, you will be ignorant, and then the traces of the rivers and seas will be poor, and the provocations of a basket will accumulate into mountains, and the name will be made up of fierce and stubborn rules, and the body will be tired of the pain of poison, isn't it absurd! Wang An's writing was fascinating, I don't know when Wang Jia was already standing beside him, Wang Jia looked at the name, stood for a while, and then walked back. Wang An finished writing in one breath, got up and sat down, walked to the desk of the big Sima Ding Ming, and presented the test paper, Ding Ming took the test paper with both hands, Wang An took a few steps back, turned around and left the hall.
