163 The Decisive Battle of Spring (2)
In fact, there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and when there are more people who believe, ghosts and gods breed in people's hearts, and finally materialize, attracting everyone's awe, and it is impossible to test and unrealistic to insist on pursuing the source of ghosts and gods, but what you always know is that there is a thought in your heart, and there is something that makes people afraid, which will always restrain people's overly bastard behaviors and bring a trace of clarity to the world.

Zheng Guang looked at the most noble examination room in the country, except for the Jiangnan Gongyuan that is larger than Nanjing, the rest are exactly the same in terms of regulations, only to see the ink plaque of "Shuntian Gongyuan" hanging in the middle of the gate, and the plaques of "Ming Jing Scholars" and "Seeking Talents for the Country" stand in the east and west, which is extremely formal, and after the grand cannon ceremony, the gate of the Gongyuan will be opened layer by layer, and Sun Chengen, who is the chief examiner of the examination and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is dressed in a big red robe, will enter the Gongyuan with an examiner and his subordinates, and personally conduct this ceremony to invite God.
Please what god is also particular, this please Three Realms Demon Emperor Guan Shengdi Zhenchang, Guan Erye's status is getting higher and higher, when he just died, he was still a marquis, and then he was crowned a prince, and then he was crowned a king, and finally he was directly crowned the emperor, if Guan Erye has a spirit in the sky, he knows that he is an emperor, and he doesn't know what it feels like, anyway, after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Erye is basically deified, and he is welcomed everywhere he goes, regardless of whether he takes the white road or the underworld, he is willing to worship, and he has become the almighty god of China.
Second, please Jiang Taigong to inspect, third, please ask Emperor Wenchang to preside over the examination room, Master Kuixing shines, etc., etc., anyway, how auspicious, how majestic, how to come...... After inviting the gods, a scribe ran out with two flags, one red and the other black, and the scribe's mouth said, "Grace ghosts enter, unjust ghosts enter." The soldier next to him hurriedly burned the paper, a cold and biting wind blew, the paper ash circled, everyone present had a cold air on their necks, and Zheng Guang's back also had goosebumps.
Really, I really didn't feel it when I took the township test, but now this one, it feels really real, I wasn't afraid before, and now I'm hairy in my heart, for fear of encountering something unclean, tossed for a while, and the inside of the Gongyuan gradually calmed down, and then a small official held a bamboo tube, and a group of students went up to draw lots, this is a convention, who draws well, which province will go first, and if the draw is not good, then wait!
This year, Nan Zhili has a good luck to raise the school, and it seems to be blessed by the aura of Zheng Guang's great achievements, and the Nan Zhili lifters were the first to enter, and the Nan Zhili lifters who learned the news whispered excitedly for a while, and then entered the examination room under the leadership of the study, of course, before this, there was a routine to do - body search.
But I also said,Even if you can't get into the Jinshi, you can rely on the identity of the lifter to eat a lifetime of old capital,Everyone knows this truth,So,It's not necessary to lose the identity of the Jinshi but to lose the identity of the person you have already gotten.,That's really not cost-effective.,So compared to the township test,The probability of cheating in the test is much smaller.,Of course, this is only limited to the lifters themselves.,Because the people who will try to be selected are basically Jinshi.,It can affect the court politics.,So, The people above like to do it when they can try.
Because everyone is a lifter, they are all people with status, and they don't know when they will be hit by the Jinshi to retaliate against these search and inspection soldiers, so the experienced search and inspection soldiers are just making an appearance to the lifters, and they come a little bit, but in fact, they haven't even touched their bodies, and the salute is also a symbolic inspection, cutting one or two pieces of cake and pretending to be, but when it was Zheng Guang's turn, the two search and inspection troops were still a little surprised, after all, they didn't bring pastries but brought pots and spoons of oil and rice noodles, which is really not much.
After all, not every lifter can learn some cooking skills by himself, although the winter is cold, the steamed bread turns into stone, but since the wise people can use honey mixed flour to make steamed bread to prevent the steamed bread from spoiling, they can naturally move some other hands and feet to keep the steamed buns and other ready-made pastries soft, not every lifter has a big heart, you can leisurely cook and eat by yourself in the process of the exam, you can eat ready-made, try not to toss the fireworks.
Looking at the salute of this lifter, the two search soldiers were actually a little confused, Zheng Guang looked at the two stunned search soldiers strangely, and after a while, he saw these two people pick up their things and put them away, and put them in with a smile, which made Zheng Guang depressed and puzzled for a while, but since it was over, he didn't think about anything else, picked up the test box and found his place according to the map.
Yes, luck is very good, or the old number, spacious, bright, Zheng Guang was comfortable for a while, and began to clean up the house, and saw that the water in the big water tank next to it had formed a thin layer of ice, and quickly picked up the scoop next to it and smashed the ice, stirred it in the big water tank a few times, and then dared to use it, if it was put down, it would not be long before the whole tank could freeze, but the small hammer he carried was for this existence, and the soldiers who inspected it during the exam would also have one more mission - to prevent the water in the tank from freezing completely, If you meet a responsible person, you really don't have to worry about it.
However, Zheng Guang has always been used to doing it himself, and he doesn't bother the soldiers too much, so he immediately lit a fire and prepared to boil water, and then filled the thermos water bottle prepared at home, saving some drink, it can be used for at least two days, as for the rest of the water to be used, it's a big deal to knock on the ice, anyway, it doesn't matter.
Zheng Guang was tossing here, but he heard a low shout: "Pingzhi?!" ”
Zheng Guangyi raised his head and looked, heh! Next door to him, is actually Li Chunfang?
"Brother Zishi?" Zheng Guang looked at Li Chunfang with some surprise, it is not a common thing to be able to take the exam with someone he knows in the examination room, if there is really any accident, they can still help each other, of course, it is not related to the exam, but when there is a personal problem, under the supervision of the supervising soldiers, they can still help each other, and the supervising soldiers will not say anything.
However, now it is necessary to talk less, and the most taboo in the examination room is to speak loudly and talk more, so the two nodded to each other, smiled, and continued to work, tossing for about an hour, Zheng Guang put the soft mat on the kang of the house, and the first pot of water boiled next to it was almost boiled, Zheng Guang poured the pot of water into the thermos and continued to boil the water.
When Li Chunfang came to get water, he saw that Zheng Guang was actually boiling water, and he had prepared pots and spoons, so he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and said in a low voice: "Pingzhi, aren't you planning to make a fire in this tribute courtyard to cook and eat?" ”
Zheng Guang nodded very naturally: "Of course, of course, you have to eat hot on a cold day to be comfortable with the exam, this is how my township test came over, otherwise I might as well die if I eat cold dry food for nine days, anyway, the exam room didn't let us bring something to cook and eat by ourselves, and I'm not the only one, you see, there are still two or three people with kitchen utensils." ”
Li Chunfang said a little helplessly: "Pingzhi, you really admire your mentality!" ”
Zheng Guang smiled and said, "I'm planning to cook rice and eat it, cured rice, do you want to eat it, I'll give you a little?" ”
Li Chunfang hurriedly shook his head and refused: "In the examination room, let's not touch each other, I, I brought dry food, rest assured, enough to eat." ”
Zheng Guang didn't insist, so he got some rice by himself, picked up the rice by himself, and looked at the surrounding lifters for a while, except for a few hands-on people who also brought their own tools, most people were more surprised that these guys who cook and eat by themselves really have a good ability to survive!
Li Chunfang looked at Zheng Guang stupidly as he washed rice, then got some bacon and soaked it in the rice, put the lid on the charcoal fire and started to cook, and then Zheng Guang didn't care, put the small pot on the ground and let it cook, and continued to wipe the number plate needed for the exam, Li Chunfang looked up at the sky, and continued to toss, not caring about it, but Zheng Guang's shocking behavior in his opinion was enough to shock him.
Zheng Guang's movements are very quick, his hands and feet are diligent, and he is also familiar with the road, and he has almost done everything he should have done in an hour or so, the rice in the pot has exuded an attractive meat aroma, in this cold air, a trace of warm meat fragrance is always eye-catching, and the busy lifters watched Zheng Guang open the lid of the pot, and the stronger fragrance spread out, and the steaming cured rice stimulated their olfactory nerves, making them involuntarily hungry.
Zheng Guang sat comfortably on the already soft kang, wrapped in a coat and holding a rice bowl happily eating hot cured rice, drinking the hot water just boiled, those who were busy until now have not eaten and drunk a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred, hurriedly stopped the work in hand, took out the prepared dry food and cold water and began to fill the hunger, in fact, Zheng Guang's most objection is to drink cold water and eat dry food in the winter, just these days, it can bury the root of future stomach problems.
However, Zheng Guang has no reason or obligation to remind these people, after he has eaten and drunk enough, he watched Li Chunfang gnaw on an unknown pastry with strange eyes, smiled, didn't say anything, washed the tableware, put it back in the box for later use, put the small pot away, sat on the kang and leaned on the number house and began to take a nap, now it is noon, the admission is not over, their first batch of visitors took a big advantage, and they had about half a day to rest, The exam papers will not be issued until almost all of them have been done.
When Li Chunfang was full of stomach and ready to continue tossing, he came to Zheng Guang's house and saw Zheng Guang wrapped in a coat and half leaning in the number house and taking a nap, as if he was sleeping very sweetly, and a sense of powerlessness swept over him like never before......
Until a long, long time later, he could not forget the feeling of oppression that the chic and atmospheric guy brought him in the examination room......
