Soon, the officials closed all the street entrances leading to the Shuntianfu Gongyuan, and martial law issued a large forbidden area.

"It's time to start the roll call." Next to him, Lu Chang whispered to Wu Jie: "Wait a minute, just stare at the lanterns on the two flagpoles in front of you, the names of the prefectures and counties will be written on them, and when it's Yanjing's turn, let's go over and line up." ”

Wu Jie looked into the distance, but saw two tall flagpoles standing in front of the small bridge in front of him.

Wu Jie looked at the situation in front of him, and felt that this scene of a sea of people and silence was more spectacular than the Hollywood blockbusters of later generations, so he was reluctant to look away: "Fatty, you haven't participated in the township test before, how do you know so clearly?" ”

Lu Chang: "As early as a month ago, my mother had already interviewed Mr. Dai clearly about the situation when she participated in the township test, and asked my little sister to write down the joints on the paper, which was very clear. At the mention of his mother, the fat man's expression was a little gloomy, and he looked down at his right hand wrapped in gauze.

Wu Jie: "It doesn't matter if your right hand can lift a pen." ”

The fat man did not speak.

Wu Jie saw some tears in the corners of his eyes from the corner of his eye, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him.

It's useless to say more, if the fat man wants to turn over in the house, he must pass this exam.

And he Wu Festival is not like this, if he doesn't win, he will have to wait for three years. In the past three years, I don't know what will happen. As he made further contact with Jiajing, history began to change slowly, and perhaps one day, the history he knew would suddenly become unrecognizable. And as a traverser, he has left the real history, but he doesn't have any advantages!

Soon, the two flagpoles next to the small bridge in front of the Gongyuan were lit up, and slowly two big red lanterns slowly rose towards the top.

The roll call has officially begun.

All the candidates stood on their toes at the same time, stretched their necks and looked over their heads.

In ancient times, lighting relied on oil lamps and candles, and most of the scholars stayed up late to study, coupled with limited nutritional conditions, many people had different degrees of myopia after ten years of cold windows.

It's better to be closer to the flagpole, but it's far away, and the two lanterns look as small as broad beans, and the words on them are naturally not legible.

Someone whispered to the classmate next to him: "It's our turn, is it our turn?" ”

"Which state is it now?"

"This ...... This one...... The younger brother can't see clearly. ”

There are even candidates with anxious surnames who even stood on the examination basket, accidentally stepped on it, and suddenly fell into a ball.

Most of the scholars of the Lu family were not very good in their eyes, and they were far away, so some people immediately became anxious and kept asking: "What's the matter, eldest prince, who should it be?" ”

Lu Xuan couldn't see what was written on the lantern, so he didn't speak with a cold face.

"Ting Chen, Ting Chen, do you see clearly?" The Lu family is led by Lu Xuan and Lin Tingchen, who often like to play the role of leaders in it.

Lin Tingchen was also silent.

"Brother Lin, if there is anything in the school, you will preside over it. The township test is so crucial, why don't you speak? ”

Lin Tingchen was asked by everyone and couldn't answer, so he said angrily: "I'm reading at night like everyone else, and my eyesight is not good, I'm sorry." ”

Wu Jie saw that everyone was really anxious, and said, "I can see clearly, it's not our turn yet." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone's faces were relieved: "Who should it be?" ”

Wu Jie glanced at the words on the lantern again and said, "It's Pinggu County and Sanhe County." ”

All the students of the Lu family bowed their hands to Wu Jie at the same time: "Brother Wu Jie, remember to shout when it's time for us." ”

Wu Jie bowed lightly: "That's nature." ”

Beside him, Lu Fatzi sneered: "In Pingyue, when you see me and Brother Jie, you are all arrogant, and now you are using us, but you are condescending, ridiculous, ridiculous!" ”

Everyone was ashamed.

Although at the beginning, only the talents of Pinggu and Sanhe counties were named, but it took two hours before and after. No way, unlike the children's examination, there are many former talents in the township examination room, and some are even old talents from twenty or thirty years ago. After so many years of accumulation, there are three to five hundred candidates in every county of a big college entrance examination like Shuntianfu.

It is necessary to check the identity and search the basket, which is a cumbersome and slow process, and naturally takes a lot of time.

The autumn rain still has no tendency to stop, even if it is as thin as a cow's hair, but after standing in the rain for two hours, it is still wet and uncomfortable by the rain.

As a result, most of the candidates waiting for the roll call gathered together, took off their long shirts and fixed them on their heads. For a time, the square was full of green and green children.

Wu Jie's hands and face were drenched with rain, and his body felt a little cold.

The other scholars were also uncomfortable, and some of them were weak and shivering, and they didn't know whether they were uncomfortable or nervous.

The sky had completely opened, and it was six o'clock in Yanjing time in the future.

The candidates of the Lu family studies are all complaining in a low voice: "Why is it so slow, waiting to die." ”

Even Lu Xuan and Lin Tingchen, who had always been steady, were anxious.

On the contrary, Lu Fatzi's face was calm, as if he had changed someone.

finally waited for the candidates from Sanhe and Pinggu counties to finish the roll call, and there were small cheers everywhere, including the candidates from the Lu family.

"Brother Wu Jie, is it our turn, is it our turn?"

"Not yet!" Wu Jie looked forward again, and the two newly raised lanterns were written "Xianghe" and "Daxing" respectively.

Everyone was decadent for a while, and some even sat softly on the exam bench and were speechless for a long time.

Shuntianfu has a total of five states and nineteen counties. The five prefectures of Tong, Ji, Zhuo, Ba and Changping and the nineteen counties of Daxing, Wanping, Liangxiang, Fangshan, Dong'an, Gu'an, Yongqing, Baoding, Dacheng, Wen'an, Wuqing, Xianghe, Baodi, Ninghe, Sanhe, Pinggu, Shunyi, Miyun and Huairou are also known as the twenty-four prefectures and counties of Shuntianfu.

Only then did I name the four counties, and if all of them were completed, I don't know when it would be.

If you have bad luck, you may be at the bottom of the line, and it is possible to wait until midnight.

Wu Jie had a hunch that he would not enter the arena too early.

Xianghe and Daxing counties are still big counties of culture and education, and there are surprisingly many candidates, and it took two hours to toss it.

Next came the turn of Huairou and Jizhou, both of which are the northern gates of Gyeonggi and have border guards stationed all year round. Because, there are not too many readers, and it is obviously a lot less than the first four counties, which seems to be sparse.

But after a morning of rain and dinner time, everyone didn't even have the strength to cheer.

So, thousands of scholars sat on chairs, took out dry food and ate in small bites, and there was a "rustle" sound of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves in the square.

The candidates of the Lu family study also began to eat, and many of them brought pastries, because they were too dry, some of them rolled their eyes.

Lu Xuan and Lin Tingchen's food was not very good, and they also brought pastries. Probably because he felt that it was really uncomfortable to eat cakes, Lin Tingchen found a dried salted fish from Kaolan and gave half of it to Lu Xuan. The two of them ate gracefully, and gnawed until the smell was stinking.

It is estimated that the production process of this salted fish is not too good.

The other scholars couldn't bear it, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only frown and bear it.

When Mozi prepared food for Wu Jie, he didn't know that it would take a day just to name him, because he didn't prepare dry food. There are just rice and fresh vegetables.

This is a bit of a problem.

Wu Jie shook his head helplessly, forget about the first game, and let Gui Zhi prepare some snacks in advance in the second game.

There is no way, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

He could only find the stove from Kaoran and prepare to cook something indiscriminately. Just as he was about to make a move, the fat man handed over a lotus leaf bag, and when he opened it, it was a roast chicken that was crispy and golden.

Wu Jieda liked: "Great. ”

The fat man smiled: "Life is in the world, eating and drinking, but this thing is sloppy." ”

Seeing Wu Jie and Lu Chang gnawing on the corners of their mouths, everyone was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Wu Jie's hunch was really correct, and there was still no wheel set for Yanjing next. This was followed by Baoding and Dong'an, then Dacheng and Wen'an.

The waiting world is so long that many people are on the verge of mania. But the examination room is heavy, and I don't dare to make noise, so I can only grit my teeth and endure it.

Fortunately, the temperature began to rise after noon, and the hazy drizzle sprinkled on the hands and faces, but it was not so cold.

It was getting dark, and most of the more than 3,000 scholars in the square had already entered the examination room, and only seven or eight hundred people remained.

At this time, the lantern rose again, and it was finally Wu Jie's turn.

Wu Jie shouted: "It's our turn!" ”

But there was no reaction, and when he turned his head, the big guy was numb, obviously his mind was blank after being tossed.

After shouting several times, everyone stood up and rushed forward with the heavy test basket on their backs.

The small bridge leading to the Gongyuan is a little narrow, but fortunately there are not many people anymore, and it doesn't seem crowded.

After crossing the small bridge, there were two roll call platforms in front of the three large and tall doors of the Gongyuan.

The candidates of Yanjing were on the left hand, so the candidates of the Lu family were all lined up in front and stepped forward in turn.

"Dong'anmen Locust Tree Hutong Li An." A servant called his name loudly.

"It's here, it's here." A candidate from Lu Family Studies squeezed up, and then searched his name and checked Kaolan. When the official felt that there was no entrainment or abnormality, a small official of the tribute court handed over a copy of the paper and the room number.

And Li Anzhi solemnly put the paper into the examination bag hanging around his neck, and hurriedly walked towards the examination room.

"Zuo Du Governor Lu Mansion Lu Guoquan."

"It's coming, it's coming."

"Lu Guoquan, four feet three inches tall, beardless, thin...... Well, it's all right. The official looked at the license in his hand, and suddenly said: "It's still the same, 'Lu Guoan, there is a mole on your back', oh, there is a mole, take off your clothes and take off your clothes." ”

The servant kept urging.

Lu Guoquan is also a famous talent, how can he be willing to show his breasts in public, and his face suddenly turned purple.

Fortunately, the little official who handed out the exam paper waved his hand: "That's it, reader, you have to leave some dignity and let go." This is what keeps Lu Guoquan from making a fool of himself.

After Lu Guoquan, it was time for Wu Jie to step forward and roll call.

Everything went according to the procedure, and it was very smooth. It was nothing more than turning out everything in the Kaolan for the official to see, and then let him search his body.

When the body was verified, the scribe looked Wu Jie up and down for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "You are Wu Jie?" ”

Wu Jie didn't know why he turned his face: "Yes, Xiaosheng Wu Jie." ”

"What a villain who doesn't know whether he lives or dies, the examination room is heavy, and he actually pretends to be a candidate, how can he hide from my eyes."
