Five long lines lined up in front of the gate of the college, but fortunately, the gate of the college was wide enough and not crowded so much. Ten catchers worked in pairs, carefully looking through what each student was carrying.

Because today's college exam lasts for one day, all living beings will bring some pastries to eat. In addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the inspection of the capture is also to check whether the clothes worn on the body have a sandwich, and even the pastries have to be broken one by one, which shows how strict the precautions of the imperial court are in order to prevent fraud.

Xu Mingyuan and Zhou Binjie followed Bai Molou and walked straight to the front of the middle team, although the beings in the back showed dissatisfaction, but no one said anything to stop them.

Bai Molou walked to the front, waited until the two catchers put the student's things back into the bamboo box, signaled that he could go in, and handed a famous post in his hand to the young catcher.

This team happened to be Wang Dayong and Guo Zhu's quick inspection, and Wang Dayong looked up and saw Bai Molou cutting in line, his face suddenly sank, and he didn't accept Bai Molou's name. But before Wang Dayong could speak, Guo Zhutou had already bent down slightly and smiled to take Bai Molou's name, and stepped on Wang Dayong's instep, looked at Bai Molou with a smile and said, "This son, let's check the contents of the box first." ”

Xu Mingyuan also recognized that this catcher was Guo Cailing's father Guo Dongcheng, so he walked to Baimolou's side, looked at the catcher and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, it turned out that you led the team to check this academy examination." ”

"Yes, Mingyuan, your aunt also said that you have an exam today, let me bring you two cakes." Guo Dongcheng responded with a smile, picked up a food box beside him, took out two baked cakes and handed them to Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan took the two baked cakes wrapped in oiled paper, and said with a smile: "Hehe, my aunt still loves me, then you go back and help me thank you." ”

Seeing this, Bai Molou, who was originally frowning slightly, glanced at Wang Dayong and Guo Dongcheng, didn't say anything, and handed over the bamboo box in his hand.

was stepped on by Guo Dongcheng, even if he was unwilling in his heart, the young man still took the bamboo box of Baimolou and looked through it carefully.

And after Guo Dongcheng handed the baked cake to Xu Mingyuan, after seeing that Bai Molou was not angry, he was also relieved, and began to check whether the clothes on Bai Molou's body had a mezzanine or something.

It can be said that the inspection of the hospital examination is still very detailed, after all, if there is entrainment and fraud in the hospital examination, the arrest of the inspection will be punished, so even if it is facing a family like Bai Molou, it must be carefully inspected, and there is no room for sloppiness.

After the inspection, Guo Dongcheng and Wang Dayong put all the things in Baimolou back into the bamboo box, handed them back to him along with the name card in their hands, and signaled that he could go in.

Most of them are illiterate people, so the inspection of the name post has to be checked by another special person after entering the academy, and they are responsible for the inspection of the items.

Bai Molou carried the bamboo box and walked towards the academy, Xu Mingyuan asked Zhou Binjie to check first, Zhou Binjie In addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the bamboo box was stuffed with food, if you didn't know, you thought he had moved a table of banquets and put it in the bamboo box.

After Zhou Binjie entered, Xu Mingyuan also stepped forward. Although they are acquaintances, Guo Dongcheng's inspection is still meticulous. And that Wang Dayong even broke the two baked cakes and the two cakes that another lady stuffed into him before, as if he wanted to find something that shouldn't be there.

However, what disappointed him was that none of the things Xu Mingyuan brought were unruly, and there was nothing like entrainment, so he could only help him clean up again and let him in.

Xu Mingyuan and the other three all entered the academy, and when they stood on the stone lawn, a literate official came forward to check their names. The name card was sent by the college three days ago, and it recorded the information of each student, which is considered to be a proof of identity, and if you do not have a name post, you will not be able to participate in the college examination.

After checking the identities of the three people, the little official gave each of them a slip of paper with a seat number written on it, signaling them to wait here, and this note was written on the seat number of their college exam today. Xu Mingyuan glanced at the note in his hand, which had the word Ding Chou written on it, which should be arranged according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

The sentencing gradually entered the academy, and the little official also checked the information of the sentient beings one by one and distributed the seat number.

The sun had gradually risen, and Xu Mingyuan, Bai Molou, and Zhou Binjie were standing under a tree, avoiding the rays of the sun. It's getting hotter and hotter in July.

At this moment, two of the students who entered the academy walked out and walked towards their tree, which turned out to be Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao.

Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao are considered to be truly talented and learned among the students of the academy, and Zheng Zhi has only been in the academy for two years, so he is not allowed to participate in the college examination as usual. However, he showed great talent and outstanding academics in his daily and monthly classes and debates, so he was able to participate.

The two of them had a good impression of Xu Mingyuan on top of the last debate, and they also drank together twice after that. However, although these two people are not from poor backgrounds, they are still different from Li Lixin and Xie Hong, so Xu Mingyuan was ridiculed before, and he did not come forward.

"Brother Xu, Brother Bai, Brother Zhou." When the two approached, Zheng Zhi arched his hand and said, and Ma Zhixiao also smiled and arched his hand.

Xu Mingyuan can still understand that the two did not come forward before. He and the master are lonely, and Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie don't have to worry about Li Lixin's secret revenge, so they dare not take Li Lixin and the others seriously.

But Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao are different, they have to think about themselves and the family behind them. Not to mention whether Bai Molou will protect them, if Li Lixin and the others secretly do something, it will not be something they can bear. So Xu Mingyuan also smiled and said, "Zheng Zhi, Brother Ma." ”

Bai Molou was naturally able to figure this out, and nodded at the two, which was considered a courtesy. And Zhou Binjie felt that although the two of them had not spoken out of ridicule before, they had not spoken up, so they turned to the side and ignored the two.

Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao also apologized for not speaking out before, but now they can walk under this tree in front of everyone, which is already a stand. Both of them can be called gentlemen, and they can be regarded as Xu Mingyuan's friends in the academy except for Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie.

A few puppets talked a few times, and they mostly talked about some matters of this hospital examination. When all the students have entered the academy, the admiral Xuezheng of the abbot's academy examination should have to admonish him, and then he will go to the examination hall to prepare for the exam.

Admiral Xuezheng is the chief official in charge of the imperial examinations in each province, and he is a third-grade official position, which is still one level higher than the history of Shuzhou Thorns. Generally, it is held by a scholar of Hanlin or an official from a Jinshi, which is regarded as an important official position in the Qing Dynasty.

After all the students entered the academy, as the bell rang, the group walked out from behind the academy, and the students gradually quieted down.

The leader was Dean Zeng and a tall forty-year-old official dressed in a purple silk robe, with a jade belt hook hanging from his waist, and a square face. Later, there was a group of five or six officials wearing various official robes, and several academy teachers, and Wang Luqi was among them.

Xu Mingyuan's gaze stayed on the tall Admiral Xuezheng with a pair of bright eyes for a while, and then fell on the master's body. Although the master was only wearing a cyan robe, he was not at all weak in parallel with the Admiral Xuezheng, and even the Admiral Xuezheng was faintly half a step behind.

"When Sun Xuezheng was taking the imperial examination, Dean Zeng was the teacher." As if knowing what Xu Mingyuan was thinking, Bai Molou said softly.

Xu Mingyuan nodded thoughtfully, if so, it makes sense. At the time of the imperial examination, the examiner and jinshi who participated in the imperial examination were honored by the examiner. It's the same with this college exam, if they can make the list, then this Sun Xuezheng is their teacher.

Zeng Fuzi and Sun Xuezheng walked in front of the students and stopped, and after a teacher signaled the students to be quiet, Sun Xuezheng began to speak.

What Sun Xuezheng said was basically an encouragement to all sentient beings, but he didn't say anything long, and then he talked about the details of this college examination. There are two examinations in this college, one today and one tomorrow, and it is over.

After saying this, Sun Xuezheng signaled that the students could go to the examination room, and the group of officials went in the direction of the examination hall, and today's examination was by their abbot.

After the officials walked away, the sentient beings took their own things and went to their respective examination halls under the guidance of the officials.

Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou had different examination halls, so after talking to them, he asked about the location of his examination hall, and he carried a bamboo box to find it.

The examination hall is located in the teaching hall of the college, and each teaching hall is arranged in four rows with five seats each, each with a table and a chair, which can accommodate 20 students.

Xu Mingyuan looked for the examination hall, the seat number was Ding Chou, and he sat down on the seat, first prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, put the bamboo box on the table, and waited for the bell to ring for the exam.

The students also gradually entered the examination hall, and after sitting down, they stopped talking, and the entire examination hall fell into a somewhat depressed silence, and even Xu Mingyuan, who was originally indifferent, had a much faster heartbeat. No one asked about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows that becoming famous in one fell swoop is the ambition of many readers, and today's college examination is undoubtedly the first step to take.

At this moment, a young official dressed in a green tortoiseshell silk robe with a silver waist over his waist walked into the examination hall, followed by two people holding a stack of examination papers.

This official is about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, his sword eyebrows are slightly upturned, and he looks at the official robe on his body, he should be a seven-grade official, and at this age, he is also young and promising. His sharp gaze swept around the beings in the hall and nodded towards the little official.

The two officials began to distribute the test papers, and each student placed a dozen white sheets of paper with red horizontal and vertical lines, twelve lines of horizontal and vertical lines. There are also a few sheets of paper with handwriting all over it.
