This was the first time that Wu Jie participated in the formal imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty.

The college examination is the last level of the children's examination, as long as you pass the examination, you can obtain the fame of talent and have the qualification to participate in the official civil service examination. This level is extremely important, although it is a child's test, but for the ancients, it is not simple. Many people have been cold for ten years, but they have been brushed down at this threshold.

If you want to compare it with the examinations of later generations, the township examination is a formal civil service examination, while the college examination is equivalent to a postgraduate examination. In the civil service examination in modern society, many good positions require a graduate degree or above.

Wu Jie also imagined more than once what the final pass of the children's examination, or the official imperial examination, should look like. A few days ago, he had been worried about spending three days in the exam room in such a hot weather.

In my memory, the college entrance examination was so stuffy and uncomfortable. But you can go home after handing in the college entrance examination, but when you get here, you can't get out at all without waiting for the exam to finish.

The sun was shining violently, and there were no electric fans or air conditioners in the small test room, but the roof was low and low, and you only had to reach out to touch the tiles that had been burned by the sun.

After sitting in the examination hall for about an hour, the sky had already opened, and the summer weather began to heat up as soon as it dawned. Wu Jie looked around, and the furnishings in the house were very simple. Just a small bed made of bricks, a one-meter-wide table, and a small stool. There are also two wooden barrels, one for drinking water and one empty for toilets.

There is no difference in the style of the two barrels, they are just as dirty and sloppy, and it is easy to get confused.

As soon as Wu Jie thought of Yang Zongzhi's matter, he was a little flustered in his heart, so he sat silently in the examination room and thought hard to see if he could come up with a way.

As the saying goes, if you care, you will be chaotic, and if you sit for a long time, you can't figure out a clue.

When he entered the examination room, it was still dark, and Wu Jie was not in a hurry to read the papers because he had something on his mind. Like him, almost all of the candidates did not put pen to paper. The ancients were malnourished, and many people had night blindness, and they often waited for night reading, and they were more short-sighted. In order to prevent answering the wrong paper, the candidates chose to close their eyes and rest their minds.

As soon as the day opened, the scholars finally moved.

Soon, the sound of grinding ink sounded everywhere, some fast and some slow, showing a different new realm.

The examination rooms in the examination room are not far apart, only four to five meters, and when you look up, you can clearly see the appearance of the candidates opposite.

The scholar opposite Wu Jie was in his early forties, his hair was gray, and he was an old boy. This person doesn't know how many times he has taken the exam, he is an old horse, and he is not in a hurry, he just grinds the ink slowly. After grinding an inkstone, I drank a few sips of water and ate something slowly, and then I held the scroll and read it for a long time, and there was no sign of writing.

Seeing the man's leisurely expression, Wu Jie finally calmed down, and said secretly: You can't panic, you can't panic, the more panicked you are, the more you can't think of a way. If something doesn't happen, it has already happened, and no amount of complaining will solve the problem.

This calming down made Wu Jie suddenly wake up to the fact that even if he sat here for another day, he couldn't think of a way. When ordinary people encounter problems, first of all, they can't mess up and calm themselves down. Then go through the matter from beginning to end, cooperate with the information at hand, and see if you can find a breakthrough is the king.

"Data ......" Wu Jie's eyes lit up: "That's right, I need information." Yang Zongzhi's case seems to be quite small from the present, but it seems that there is no record in the historical materials I have read before, that is to say, this case should not have caused much turmoil, at least it is not a serious political event. That being the case, it shouldn't be much of a problem. But how the matter is solved in the end needs to be investigated, or a solution can be found. If you really can't do it, just do it according to the historical records. ”

"Well, I'll go back to modern society soon, and the best thing to do now is to sleep and see if I can travel back to the real world in my dreams. With the powerful means of information in the real world, it is not easy to get to the bottom of this case. Wu Jie stood up suddenly, couldn't help but slap it on the table, but the old boy in the opposite house looked up at Wu Jie in fright.

Thinking of this, Wu Jie's heart was brisk.

The time has reached noon, and it is estimated that it will be about eleven o'clock in the Yanjing time of the later generations.

Without further ado, Wu Jie immediately leaned on the table and closed his eyes.

Although I didn't sleep all night last night, my body was so tired that I seemed to be falling apart, but my spirit was unusually excited, and the weather was hot. I lay on the table for a long time, knowing that my arms were numb, but I couldn't sleep in private work.

"Oops, why can't you sleep?" Wu Jie stared at his red eyes, very helpless.

I had no choice but to raise my head again and look intently. The old boy on the other side had already started to work on the draft.

Seeing Wu Jie coming over, Lao Tongsheng smiled slightly and nodded politely at Wu Jie. Probably feeling that it was a lot of pressure to make a roll in front of Wu Da Mingshi, Lao Tongsheng put down his pen, rubbed his hands, and as soon as he arched his hand towards Wu Jie, he opened the examination basket, took out the dry food from it and chewed it carefully.

In order to prevent entrainment, the dry food brought by the candidates when they entered the examination room was cut into peanut-sized particles with a knife.

Because he had to stay in the examination room for three days, Mozi also baked more than a dozen cakes for Wu Jie before he came.

Seeing that the examinee opposite him began to eat lunch, Wu Jie also felt a little hungry. After thinking about it, you can only sleep when you are full, and the surname Suo is not in a hurry to sleep, so he will fill his stomach.

The pancakes are delicious, because the weather is hot, there is no minced meat and green onions in it, only a little salt particles are put in it, but when you bite into it, it is full of new grains.

It's just that the water in the barrel tastes a little weird, with a smell of adult rotting wood, which makes people unappetizing.

stretched his stomach out of the garden, and a layer of hot sweat appeared on his body, which made him a little tired.

Wu Jie didn't lie on the table, he simply took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.

The house is too small, this small bed made of blue bricks is only one meter and four wide, and when you sleep on it, you can only lie on your body.

"A lot of information is needed, and the information on this case is very cold, and it should be difficult to get it through formal channels. When you get back, do some online searches. If you can't find it again, you can only call Lao Jin and ask him for help. Of course, he also needs time. Fortunately, there are still three days available, so I can't miss anything. ”

I don't know how long it took, Wu Jie finally fell asleep dimly.

"How is Wu Shizhen now?" In the hall, Shen Xuezheng finally couldn't help but take off the black gauze hat, and asked the secretary to twist a wet cotton towel and wipe the sweat on his face.

A servant replied: "If you go back to the master, the villain has just gone to see it, and Wu Jie seems to have fallen asleep." ”

"This Wu Festival, it's really ...... On such a hot day, such an important exam, you actually sleep? The examiner was speechless for a moment.

"A real celebrity is also, the police are not alarmed, and they lie down safely." The professor couldn't help but praise.

Even Bao Yingxia, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating, opened her eyes and nodded with relief: "This son is good, he is a calm person." ”

The three examiners spoke again, and then each held a book and began to read.

I don't know how long it took, a cool breeze blew in, and Xue Xuezheng shouted: "It's good to be useful." ”

When I looked up, I saw that the shadow was already slanting westward.
