On the afternoon of the third day of the examination, the bell of the final examination of the national invigilator rang, and the re-invigilator began to collect the examination papers.

In the cubicle, Xu Mingyuan, who had already packed up his things, read the poem about Mingyue he wrote again, and nodded with satisfaction, although it can't be a masterpiece, but it shouldn't be difficult to get a middle or upper score on this test.

Judging from the previous two exams, his most advantageous advantage is the strategy, and the questions that can be done by rote memorization in front of him are not difficult for those who can make the list.

The invigilator of the Ministry of Rites pushed the door in, and saw that Xu Mingyuan had already packed up everything, and the test papers were neatly folded on the table, he nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the little officials behind him to paste the test papers on the spot, and then took away the test papers and signaled that Xu Mingyuan could leave.

Smiling and watching those people walk out of the door, Xu Mingyuan got up and moved his body, he was trapped in such a small cubicle for three days in a row, although he didn't write much every day, but the mental and physical pressure was still a little bit.

However, this time in the exam, Xu Mingyuan is still quite confident, although he doesn't know how talented the scholars in the world are, but this time in the exam, he is much more serious than the previous two times.

After writing it, he checked it twice, and there must be no problem with being on the list, but whether he can get to the top of the list depends on whether those few strategies can be entered into the eyes of those old gentlemen who have reviewed the test papers.

Carrying the bamboo box and carrying the thin quilt that had been retracted into the package, Xu Mingyuan opened the door of the compartment and walked towards the door. The door next to it also opened one after another, Xu Mingyuan looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Fang Tingyan and several of them were also in this test room, but they had stayed in their respective compartments for the past three days, so he didn't find out.

Since they met, they naturally went out together, and they will finish the test in three days, but they will suffocate everyone, and they have to keep their feet when they sleep in that small cubicle, otherwise they won't be able to lie down at all.

"Let's drink, I'm in for a treat today." Fang Tingyan looked at everyone with a smile and said.

Ning Anzhi nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Fang has a treat, how can there be any reason not to go, I have eaten dry food for two days, but I won't be polite today." Bai Liyu also nodded.

Xu Mingyuan naturally had no opinion, after eating dry food for three days, he really wanted to eat something delicious. Seeing that Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao on the side were a little hesitant, Xu Mingyuan also smiled and patted them on the shoulder and said, "Let's go together." ”

When the two of them heard this, they both glanced at Xu Mingyuan with some gratitude, and nodded in response.

Although the imperial examination can enable a talented ordinary person to embark on a career in official service, how far he can go in the officialdom, or what kind of achievements he can achieve, is not determined only by his talent.

His Majesty doesn't know how everyone's talent is, what he cares about, in addition to national affairs, is that a few top-notch young people like Bai Molou and Li Mu can get into his eyes.

As for those young people who have been selected through the imperial examination, if there are people from the court and the central government to help him and push him in front of His Majesty, then it will be much easier to soar in the officialdom.

Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao have no family background, and when they arrived in Chang'an, no one introduced them, and they were not able to meet any people with status, and now Xu Mingyuan helped them introduce them to Fang Tingyan and them, so they were naturally grateful to him.

The group squeezed out from the east gate of Guozijian, and walked forward for a while before leaving the main workshop, Fang Tingyan and their carriages were parked outside the east gate, and everyone also put the bookcases and thin quilts in their hands on the car, and walked directly towards the Pingkang Fang on the opposite street.

In the past three days, not only the exam, but also the martial arts exam was also held at the same time, so Li Mu and Lan Xianwu were also busy with the martial arts in the past few days.

Although there was no appointment when he came, Xu Mingyuan told them that they would go to Chunfeng Building together after the exam, so when Fang Tingyan asked where to go, Xu Mingyuan also directly told them about the appointment with Baimo Building, and the group went straight to Chunfeng Building.

The group went up to the Chunfeng Building, and Fang Tingyan still asked for the Youlan Pavilion on the third floor last time, it seems that he has a soft spot for orchids.

The orchids in the room have changed their varieties, and the white flowers are still in full bloom, giving the whole room a faint fragrance.

Fang Tingyan ordered the food first, but the people had not yet arrived, so that the little guy was not in a hurry to serve the food, and first served a pot of tea to moisten his throat.

Everyone has nothing to do, but also to discuss the few policy theories on the test paper, policy theory has always been linked to current affairs, this time the five are no exception, all of them are current national events.

Everyone has their own opinions, which is a bit like a debate, but the attitude and environment are much better.

Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao both sat a little restrained, listening to Fang Tingyan and the others, nodding from time to time, thoughtfully.

Everyone was talking, but there was a noise downstairs, Xu Mingyuan listened to it, and heard the voices of Li Mu and Lan Xianwu, so he got up and walked downstairs.

Xu Mingyuan walked to the door and saw that two gorgeous carriages were crowded at the door of Chunfeng Tower, which was similar to the scene of Princess Yiyuan and King Xiang that day. But today, the heads of the horses on both sides have been pushed together, and it seems that they are not going to give in.

However, Xu Mingyuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was really not a matter of getting together, two carriages, one was Li Mu's, and the other carriage came out of the curtain, facing Li Mu and Lan Xianwu sneering, isn't it the first genius in Chang'an, Wenhua.

Li Mu has always respected him, he respects people, he is not a perverse person, otherwise Mu Yunfan would not have been taken care of by him at the beginning.

Today, most of the people who insulted each other again, with Li Mu's temperament, how could he be angry in vain.

Wenhua's identity is not weaker than Fang Tingyan, and in this Chang'an City, he can suppress Li Mu by half of his head, how to say that he is also a local snake, after all, the Li family's base camp is still in Jiangnan.

Wang Ziqi stood beside the carriage, bowed his head slightly, and did not make a sound, but he was still a smart person, and he knew that he should not be involved in the battle between these sons and brothers.

Although Wenhua is known as the first genius in Chang'an, if you want to talk about it, you really can't play Li Mu, who has been traveling in major green buildings all the year round.

Wen Hua was pulling the Four Books and Five Classics, and Li Mu was already greeting all the eighteen generations of his ancestors openly and secretly, but he didn't bring a single dirty word, and Xu Mingyuan, who originally wanted to go up to help, almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Wen Hua's face became more and more ugly, Lan Xianwu, who was standing next to Li Mu, kept laughing, and looked at Li Mu beside him, but he was a little admired.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a figure wearing a blue and white placket came out of the curtain, looking at the two people who were scolding each other with some surprise, stunned, and looked at Li Mu strangely: "What are you talking about with a woman?" (To be continued.) )
