Before dawn broke, the carriage heard the entrance of the county school on the east side of the county office.

At this moment, there are already many students waiting here for the children's exam.

This naturally includes many children of the Zhang family.

"It's finally time to catch up." Zhang Mu sighed and said with a smile.

"Here's what the exam is for, change out of this clothes, and when you come to the dragon gate, let's go in." You just have to do your exams, and I've already done the rest. Wang Hongtai said with a smile.

Zhang Mu hurriedly took off the green clothes on his body and changed into the clothes given by Wang Hongtai, and after finishing the work, Wang Hongtai glanced up and down.

Zhang Muyuan's little face in front of him, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, is cute, but those eyes are as dark and deep as if they have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Wearing a well-fitting satin green sè cloud head gown, with a square scarf on his head, he looked dignified and dignified.

"Shi Niang is really good at craftsmanship, and this dress is better than all in the house." After Zhang Mu cleaned it up, the size fitted, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Your sister stayed up for several nights to make it. Oops, I forgot about this. Saying that, Wang Hongtai got up and lifted the hidden compartment under the seat cushion, took out a food box from it and said, "This is the snack that your master made for you, you will take it in later." ”

"Mm-hmm, I made a note of it." Zhang Mu took the food box, put it on the test basket, and saw that there was nothing to forget, so he followed Wang Hongtai and walked down from the carriage.

"Hey, look, isn't that a fool?"

"yes, why did Mr. bring him here?"

As soon as Zhang Mu appeared, it immediately caused an uproar outside the county school.

It's just that these children have found that Zhang Mu today is very different from before.

Before, Zhang Mu was stupid, not to mention, his body was always sloppy, especially in summer, the smell of sweat could be smoked.

But today's rì Zhang Mu is well-dressed and has a very serious expression on his face, which is really like a person who has come to rì.

"Good morning, sir."

At this time, the descendants of the Zhang family hurriedly saluted Wang Hongtai.

"I have to take the exam well today, if I am admitted, Mr. will be rewarded, but if I don't pass the exam, be careful of the board." Wang Hongtai said with a serious face.

At the moment, the candidates of the Zhang family were silent and did not dare to be born.

These children are brought up by Wang Hongtai, most of them have been studying for about three years, some have been five years, and the county examination has a very low threshold for children's qualifications, as long as they are not abnormal, these children are not very problematic.

"Mr. Wang, why are you here today?" At this time, a man in his twenties wearing a Tang scarf and a satin gray sè auspicious cloud pattern robe walked up to Wang Hongtai and bowed his waist and smiled.

This person's name is Zhang Wen, the word Runzhi, is the grandson of the patriarch of Changfang, Hongwu's twenty-year life, and one of the most important descendants of the Zhang family.

"Runzhi, are you singing for your children today?" Wang Hongtai asked with a smile.

"Yes, the patriarch commanded, don't dare to slack off." Zhang Yuan smiled.

"I'm here today to guarantee Brother Mu'er." Wang Hongtai lovingly held Zhang Mu's shoulders and smiled a little proudly.

Zhang Wen glanced at Zhang Mu with a little puzzlement, the children of the clan who participated in the children's voice test this time were all guaranteed by him, and Zhang Wen's list did not have Zhang Mu's name.

It was reasonable to hear that Zhang Mu was crazy and stupid before, but now that Mr. Wang personally brought him here, Zhang Wen suddenly felt a little tired here.

It's just that because of Mr. 's identity, he didn't want to ask more, so he just looked at Zhang Mu and said with a smile: "Three years ago, Mr. brought me to be a guarantor, and now it's your turn." Don't let him down. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Mu hurriedly bowed his waist and said.

The Zhang family has strict rules, the elders and the young are respectful and orderly, Zhang Wen is the eldest grandson of the long house, although he and Zhang Mu are literary generations, but Zhang Mu has to treat him as an elder.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he saw that Zhang Mu was talking and dressing and behaving like a madman, but when he saw that Wang Hongtai's temples in front of him were already white, and his back was slightly bowed, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, so he laughed quietly: "The student has been studying hard to prepare for the autumn exam all these days, and he didn't go to visit Mr. It is ...... that you should take care of your health. ”

"Rest assured, when you win the lift, come to see Mr., Mr. will have a light on his face." Wang Hongtai patted Zhang Wen's shoulder and smiled.

At this time, Zhang Mu saw two classes of officials coming from afar, followed by two tin tops and two people carrying sedan chairs, Zhang Mu knew that the examiner had arrived.

At this time, the gate of the examination shed opposite the county school was opened.

The two classes of yacha and the sedan chair entered the examination shed, at this time the yacha came out and began to hang the lamp, a small official stood at the door, holding the handle of the Pu knife, and drank with a sinister face: "The candidate enters the dragon gate." ”

So, there was a noise all around, parents and teachers sent these children to the gate of the Gongyuan, Zhang Mu followed Wang Hongtai to the front of the gate, at this time there was a "search" began to search, candidates can only bring the test basket and some refreshments into the examination shed, the rest of the items, can not be carried.

If someone is found to be entrained, they will be punished on the spot.

All the examination booths regardless of the size of the north sit in the north and face south, the southernmost has the east and west gates, the circle is a wooden fence, there is a large courtyard, the north of the courtyard is the main gate, called "Dragon Gate", behind the dragon gate is a large courtyard, for the candidates to wait for the name of the institute.

At this moment, Zhang Mu was standing here with less than fifty children.

In the hall on the north side of the square, Zhang Zhixian was wearing a green sè official uniform, with his hands behind his back, and standing in the hall with a majestic face.

Song County Cheng and Wang Jiaoyu both wore green sè official uniforms and stood behind Zhang Zhixian with their hands down.

Zhang Mu looked up curiously at their official uniforms, the Ming Dynasty had just been established, and many systems had not yet been perfected, including the official uniform system.

At this moment, the official uniforms have not yet been complemented, and their levels can only be distinguished from Yan Sè and belts.

The five-rank official to the seventh-grade official is green sè, and under the seventh-grade official, it is the green sè, Zhang Zhixian has a plain silver belt around his waist, and he is wearing a green sè official uniform, so he knows that he is the seventh grade, and Song County Cheng and Wang Jiaoyu are black-horned belts, wearing green sè official clothes are eight-grade officials.

The clothes of the officials are divided into court clothes, sacrificial clothes, official clothes and regular clothes, and now rì is the Kaike, so they all wear official clothes, and wear a hood on their heads instead of wusha.

Zhang Zhixian is in his early fifties, Hongwu has raised people for five years, but his hair has been white, the face of the national character, the tiger's eyes and sword eyebrows, not angry and self-threatening, he raised his head and first talked about the way of Confucius and Mencius, and then slapped the emperor's ass, and finally announced the discipline and punishment system in the examination room, and then shouted: "Let's open the department." ”

Wang Jiaoyu walked in front of Zhang Zhixian and saluted, stood behind Zhang Zhixian, and shouted loudly: "Enter as a baoxian." ”

At this time, Wang Hongtai, Zhang Wen and other seven or eight students were Zhang Zhixian and Wang Jiao. Song Xiancheng and others paid tribute.

Then they all stood behind the hall, and at this time, Song Xiancheng shouted: "Roll call and sing Bao." ”

"Liu Tong."

As soon as Song Xiancheng shouted, a sixteen-year-old boy stood out from the crowd, and the young man walked into the lobby, took the exam paper from Zhang Zhixian's hand, and shouted: "Wei Yunshu is a guarantee." ”

At this moment, a fifty-year-old student immediately shouted: "Wei Shuyun is on insurance." ”

This is the singing guarantee, if the middle guarantor sees any doubts, the magistrate has the right to put a shackle on the candidate, and serve the big punishment.

After a while, it was Zhang Mu's turn, Zhang Mu took the exam paper from the hand of the magistrate, and then raised his head and smiled sweetly.

Zhang Zhixian looked at Zhang Mu as if he was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a small face that was white and delicate, a pair of dark eyes, and a smile like two crescents, which was cute.

And when these candidates saw him, they all trembled with fright, only Zhang Mu was not afraid, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch Zhang Mu's face.

Zhang Mu turned around and walked towards the examination booth, and the test paper issued had an exam number on it, and he needed to sit down according to the number.

Zhang Mu was assigned to the eighteenth word C, and after sitting down, he took a look, it was just a small grid, and after he put down the table, he basically couldn't move.

The examination shed is built in strict accordance with the model of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, the conditions in some places are not good, and the candidates have to carry their own tables and chairs to take the exam in the county government or temple, but the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have always been rich, this examination shed is funded and built by several squires in the county, and the Zhang family naturally has a share, so it is natural to build in accordance with the pattern of the Gongyuan.

After taking out the pen and ink inkstone in the examination basket, Zhang Mu did not open the test paper in a hurry, but took out the quick pastry from the food box to pay tribute to the Five Organs Temple.

I only ate half a bowl of rice at noon yesterday, and I didn't eat anything at night, and now I'm hungry and hungry, and I have to wait until the row falls, how can I carry this day without eating?

"Master's craftsmanship is still good." Zhang Mu said secretly while eating, and at the same time glanced at the roll curiously.

On the top of the cover is clearly written: "County C character eighteen." It was followed by a line of small characters that read: "Zhang Mu, thirteen years old, Tong." The face is delicate, and the body is on the thin side. Nationality, descendants of the Zhang family in this county, great-grandfather, ancestor split, father burn. Wang Hongtai pleased. ”

After opening the cover, there are 10 examination papers, with red lines and horizontal and straight grids, 12 lines per page and 2 crosses per line, and two pieces of plain paper for drafting purposes.

At this time, the official used the sign lamp to patrol the venue, and the exam question board was displayed on a touring display.

Zhang Mu glanced up, and the examination board read: "Please see the person who seals the ceremony". Another topic below is: "Three Hundred Poems".

At this moment, there was a sudden silence in the examination room.

Zhang Zhixian smiled faintly on his face, these two questions are difficult and easy, in the end, they are born, and they have a good grasp of the difficulty of the questions.

At this moment, many students in the examination room were frowning one by one, some were pondering, some were scratching their heads, and their expressions were heavier than going to the grave.

However, only Zhang Mu ate pastries, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhang Xianling inspected the circle and found that Zhang Mu was very happy to eat, and couldn't help but smile, thinking in his heart: "The Zhang family is a poetry and book family, and it seems that it is a long-term strategy to sign up at such an age." ”

But at this time, Zhang Mu had already finished eating, wiped his little hands with a handkerchief, and then lifted the brush and licked the ink.

These are the two standard four meanings, both from the Analects

"Please see the people of Yifeng" comes from the third part of the twenty articles of the Analects, "Eight Hundreds", which is indeed not too difficult; And "Three Hundred Poems" comes from "The Analects of Politics II" "Three hundred poems, thinking is innocent." It is the famous view of Confucius to evaluate the collection of poems "The Book of Songs".

This topic is very difficult, because throughout the ages, the simpler the question, the more difficult it is to write.

Zhang Mu pondered for a moment, then started with a simple pen, picked up the pen and began to solve the problem, and wrote on the straw paper: "Feng people do not see the holy and think about it, and sigh deeply when they see the sacred." The husband is not lost, and the second and third sons can be fine, and they will be trusted by the people. So at first sight, there was a sigh of Mu Feng. ”

Zhang Zhixian happened to turn back, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but stop, and his eyes showed a look of consternation.
