Chapter 225: Compete for the Best

Fang Tingyan glanced at Wen Hua's back, revealing a somewhat thoughtful expression. Ning Anzhi looked at Xu Mingyuan with a smile and said, "Brother Xu, why did you fall in love with him." ”

Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said, "This person has a dog that can bark, didn't he come to the door to find the person who beat him before." ”

When the three of them heard this, they all laughed and shook their heads. During this time, the relationship between Xu Mingyuan and them was not bad, a gentleman's friendship, and the friendship was pure.

Because there were too many people participating in the exam, Xu Mingyuan and them didn't meet where to meet before, and they all planned to go from where they could.

However, it seems that Fang Tingyan and Ning Anzhi should have made an appointment a long time ago, and they happened to meet Xu Mingyuan, but they don't know where Bai Molou is now.

Guozijian opened eight doors, and in front of each door, dozens of Jingzhao Mansion arresters checked the luggage of the scholars who entered the entrance at the door, which was somewhat similar to the original hospital examination and the township examination. There were three long lines in front of each door, and because the beings brought a lot of things, the speed of inspection was not too fast.

Xu Mingyuan introduced everyone to each other, and it can be regarded as introducing Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao to Fang Tingyan.

Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao, the names of the four princes of Chang'an, have also heard of it for a long time, and they are naturally quite happy to be able to get acquainted at this time. When I looked at Xu Mingyuan again, I was also a little more impressed.

Fang Tingyan also had a servant holding their luggage, and a few of them were chatting, and the time passed quite quickly, and they didn't think it would be their turn for long.

Xu Mingyuan took the package that Yi was holding, smiled and asked him to go back first, and he wouldn't have to pick him up after three days, just go back by himself.

Yi nodded, and then nodded with Fang Tingyan and the others, and then squeezed through the crowd and walked outside.

The inspection rules of the general examination are similar to those of the township examination, and in order to prevent entrainment, even the food must be broken.

Fortunately, Xiao Xia was smart, and when he put the dry food, he cut those delicate pastries first, otherwise Xu Mingyuan might not be able to eat them after watching them break them one by one.

After entering the door, there was a young official in a black green shirt inside, who handed Xu Mingyuan a wooden sign with the number and location of the examination room, as well as four candles, pointed him in the direction and told him how to go.

Xu Mingyuan nodded at the people who were still outside the door, and walked in the direction pointed by the little official.

There are so many candidates taking the entrance examination that it would take too much time to gather together and then separate.

So I simply omitted the part of the lecture, anyway, I have already explained the rules from the hospital examination and the township examination, and everyone understands it.

Xu Mingyuan found the examination room written on the wooden card, and a small official standing at the door took the wooden card in his hand, led him into the examination room, stopped in front of the door of a compartment, motioned for him to go in, and then told him that if he needed to go to the toilet, he could ask for instructions and be accompanied by a special person.

Xu Mingyuan nodded in response, glanced at the cubicle where there was not much room after sitting down, carried a bookcase on his back, and walked in with a package. Fortunately, the cubicle is facing a window, so there is no need to light candles during the day, and the view is comfortable.

There were straw mats on the floor of the cubicle, as well as a table and chairs, Xu Mingyuan put the thin quilt package in the corner, took out the four treasures of the study in the bookcase, and began to study the ink.

With the previous two exams, Xu Mingyuan was no stranger to this, and while studying ink, he waited for the bell to ring.

The previous Wenhua's words touched Xu Mingyuan a little, Wenhua is the grandson of Hengguo Gong, in terms of life experience and fame, he is indeed better than Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi now.

And he said that after winning the champion, he would ask His Majesty to personally grant marriage, and in his capacity, I am afraid that His Majesty will not refuse at this time. At that time, His Majesty will give marriage, but Zeng Qingyi will not agree.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Mingyuan's eyes gradually became resolute, since he wanted to fight, let's fight. No matter what kind of talent you are in Chang'an, these Xu Ming have never been taken seriously by Xu Mingyuan.

A long bell rang, and the time for the exam had arrived.

The door to the cubicle opened, and the clerk placed a stack of papers on his desk before closing the door again.

The content of the examination is actually similar to that of the hospital examination and the township examination, but the difficulty will be increased a little.

A thick stack of test papers, four pieces of ink and scriptures, four pieces of poetry and scriptures, and two pieces of policy and five articles, and the bottom dozen or so pieces of white paper are used to answer questions.

After Xu Mingyuan roughly flipped through all the test papers, he also had a rough idea in his heart, anyway, there were three days, and he was not in a hurry to do it.

After sorting out the test papers, first took out the simplest ink meaning and scripture meaning, and put the rest of the test papers on the ground, Xu Mingyuan took a deep breath, suppressed all the other thoughts first, and began to write ink meaning.

In the past two months, he has been reading a lot of books, and these things that can be found in books are not a problem at all, but he should be careful when writing, and don't make mistakes.

An hour later, Wen Hua finished writing the ink meaning, and after carefully checking it again, he turned his wrist that was a little sore, and took out the bag of dry food prepared by Xiao Xia, and the roast chicken on the top that was cut into just the size of you and ate it.

After eating half a roast chicken and a few delicate pastries, Xu Mingyuan picked up the water bladder and drank two sips, and fell asleep directly on the table.

He has already thought about it, anyway, there is so much time, it is better to do it slowly, slow work and meticulous work, this time he will try to take it seriously.

After sleeping for half an hour, Xu Mingyuan got up and moved his body and began to write scriptures.

After writing the two pages of scriptures and checking them, the ink was dried and stacked under the ink, and Wenhua wrote another page of the scriptures, which was considered to have completed today's task.

It wasn't dark outside, and he still had four candles useless, but he wasn't going to continue writing, he was done today, and the next two days would be boring.

Xu Mingyuan packed up the test papers and motioned to the invigilator to go out to the toilet, so the official asked a catcher to follow Xu Mingyuan all the way to the toilet, and stood outside until he was well and returned to the cubicle.

He has already read the topics of the policy discussion, one on how to resist the recurrence of the invasion of Beili last winter, how to prevent the flooding of the Yellow River this summer, how to solve the difficulties in the implementation of the equalization system, and how to solve the predicament of the four towns in Anxi.

The last one made Xu Mingyuan a little surprised, he actually asked how to deal with the relationship with Nanzhao, and the attached information was written that Nanzhao and Dawan had resisted Nanzhao together in the past few decades, but the border friction in the past two years was also briefly recorded on it.
