Wuchang Gongyuan. The so-called Gongyuan is the place where the imperial examination is held.

On this day, it is the triennial township test competition in Huguang, also known as the autumn festival. The imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty was quite strict, and it was by no means so unbearable as it was in modern TV dramas. Of course, it is not impossible to gain fame by bribing examiners, but it is only rare.

The Gongyuan can cover an area of more than ten acres, the rooms can have hundreds, each candidate has a room, after entering the house, the door must be locked, a test is three days, eating, drinking and Lasa are all inside. The autumn weather is very pleasant, and most of the candidates leave the skylights open to let in the air. In the evening, they were all closed, and few were still open. There was a room where not only was the window open, but there was also a small red ribbon tied to the window, which was not very conspicuous and did not attract attention.

At this moment, on a large locust tree outside the Gongyuan, a person was holding a bow and arrows, aiming at this red belt. Under the locust tree, there was a young man squatting, the young man raised his head, rushed up and said: "Huzi, you can aim at it, whether the young master can marry the daughter of the Li Mansion this time depends on you." ”

"Don't worry, don't you know my methods, it's okay to wear Yang in a hundred steps." The man on the tree spoke with an urn sound, but his strength was really not small, and what he was holding in his hand was a five-stone hard bow, and ordinary people couldn't even pull it open. "Xiao Jiu, isn't our young master participating in the township test? What does this have to do with marrying the daughter of the Li Mansion? ”

"Master Li said that her daughter only marries Jinke Xie Yuan, then the Li family is a local family, who can marry his daughter, and he will not worry about flying Huang Tengda in this life. Our lord is a bloody capital this time, after the exam questions came out, he asked the local Confucian to write an article, it is said that it cost three thousand taels of silver to buy this article, and it is guaranteed to be able to go to high school. ”

"Tsk...... Godfather is really willing to spend money, three thousand taels of silver, I have never seen it in my life. The man named Huzi let out a sound of admiration.

"Okay, don't be envious, hurry up and shoot the arrow in, so that we can go back to work and eat."

"You don't say I'm not hungry when you eat, but I'm really hungry when I mention it. I'm going to. The tiger aimed at the red belt, and with a "boom", the feather arrow slashed out of the air.

As soon as he heard the sound of the bowstring, the young man under the tree was full of nervousness, and asked in a loud voice, "Did you shoot in?" ”

"in!" Huzi patted his chest and said, "Our archery is not covered." ”

"Let's go, go back to dinner!"

******************************************************

In the No. 32 examination room, a young man was holding a pen and staring at the white paper on the table in a daze.

The young man's name is Yue Su, and his words are strict. I heard my father say that on the day he was born, there was a thunderstorm, and a Xiucai who was rushing to take the exam passed by the house, came to take shelter from the rain, and at the behest of his father, he was given this name. And the name of this Xiucai is Yang Lian.

Yue Su is a reborn person, he was a criminal policeman in his last life, he was born in an orphanage, he was adopted by his master, and he learned a skill. He also has a younger sister named Li Lan, who is good at veterinarians and dog breeding, and the combination of the two doesn't know how many gangsters have been caught.

I still remember the last mission in my previous life, when the tomb of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was dug up by tomb robbers, he and his sister Li Lan were ordered to go down to investigate, but they accidentally touched the mechanism, and the tomb collapsed, he pressed Li Lan under him, his back was hit by a boulder, and he only heard Li Lan's heart-rending shout before closing his eyes.

God gave him a chance to be reborn, so that he had parents and relatives, and Yue Su certainly cherished it very much. Father Yue Yu is a carpenter, has a good hand, the family is not bad, plus the grandfather only has a mother and a daughter, the whole family treats Yue Su as a treasure and has high hopes, and let him go to private school for a few years when he was a child.

As a Chinese in the 21st century, who is also considered to be an advanced education, it is simply difficult to write a good eight-strand text. I don't know if it's the smoke on the ancestral grave or my own good character, but it's on the list, but it's the penultimate one.

If you win Xiucai, you will be a famous person, and from now on, the family will no longer have to pay land rent, and the whole family is looking forward to him being able to go further and be promoted.

In this township examination, Yue Su came with the responsibility of honoring his ancestors, but when he saw the exam questions, he was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at the roll of paper for a whole day, and he didn't know how to put pen to paper.

At this time, Yue Su suddenly rushed to a gust of cold wind that swept overhead, and then he heard a sound of "grabbing the ground", and he didn't know what to nail to the wall behind him. Yue Su's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that the feather arrow had been stuck in the wall, and there was a roll of paper on the body of the arrow.

"What is this?" Yue Su pulled out the arrow in the past, took off the paper on it, and unfolded it to take a look, his eyes immediately widened. Isn't this exactly the essay for this township exam?

The article was written in one go, like flowing water, even if Yue Su didn't know much about Baguwen, he couldn't help but praise it. "Good!"

After reading the article, Yue Su immediately realized that someone must have cheated and shot the answer in the wrong room, and he was lucky that the archer actually shot the wrong room. Yue Su is not the kind of person who is stupid enough to hand in arrows, and the glory of the ancestors is all on this.

He reached out to untie the red rope tied to the skylight, closed the window, and began to dig his head down.

Why is there a red rope tied to Yue Su's window, it is also a coincidence, the No. 32 examination shed where he lives is in disrepair, and the window is a little active and cannot be supported. He had no choice but to remove the red rope tied around his waist and tie it to the window. How did he know that it was because of this red rope that the archer shot the wrong room and sent the answer to him.

After copying the scroll, Yue Su took out the carving knife in his arms, as the son of a carpenter, of course, he also had some attainments in carpentry, and easily processed the feather arrow into several pieces and hid them on his body and sleeves.

Three days later, the township examination ended, and Yue Su and other candidates walked out of the tribute institute in an endless stream.

At that time, the imperial examination was similar to the modern college entrance examination, which was the top priority, and many parents of candidates gathered outside the door to wait nervously. Outside the Gongyuan is a sea of people.

As soon as a candidate goes out, the family members shout loudly, and when they meet, they can't ask how the test is. Walking in front of Yue Su was a handsome boy in a white satin robe, as soon as this son went out, four people dressed as family members immediately stepped forward, showing a flattering smile one by one, "Childe, you must be the carp leaping dragon gate this time." ”

"Jump your head!" When the boy heard this, he seemed to be angry, rushed to a small guy in a few steps, raised his hand and slapped him, and scolded angrily: "Xiao Jiu, where did you shoot Lao Tzu's arrow!" ”

The family who was beaten by the "...... of arrows" was Xiao Jiu, who accompanied Huzi to shoot arrows at dusk. He was slapped by Gongzi and the second monk was confused, and said hesitantly: "Huzi said that he shot in." ”

"Shoot your mother!" Childe was even more angry, raised his leg and kicked Xiao Jiu to the ground. Because he was too impulsive, he swiped his arm to the side and knocked an old man to the ground.

At this time, Yue Su happened to walk out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and saw the son slapping the old man down, and this old man was so familiar, wasn't it his grandfather, so he hurriedly took a few steps to grab it.

Childe didn't bother to pay attention to the old man who was slapped down, but he was still angry, and shouted: ", I'll talk about it when I go home, see if Lao Tzu doesn't pick your skin!" With that, he was leaving.

Yue Su had already run to the old man's side, squatted down to help the old man up, and asked with concern, "Grandpa, are you okay?" Then he glared at the boy and said angrily: "Didn't you see that you knocked down someone?" ”

Childe was angry, hearing that someone dared to talk to him like this, he was even more angry, turned around and glanced at it, saw that it was a poor scholar, and said disdainfully: "Damn, if you knock it down, you will knock it down, what are you going to do with the master?" ”

"Why are you so unreasonable, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, or outside the gate of the Gongyuan. You are here to take the exam, and you are also a person who reads the books of the sages, don't you know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are? Yue Su said righteously.

"Etiquette, righteousness and shame, Lao Tzu will tell you what etiquette and honesty are now!" This boy has always been accustomed to shouting people, how can he stand the lesson of a poor scholar, waved his hand, and shouted: "Hit me!" ”

Seeing that they had just touched the brow of the main family, the four family members now wanted to behave well and make meritorious contributions, and as soon as they heard this, they immediately rushed forward and punched Yue Su.

Yue Su was a criminal policeman in his previous life, and he learned a skill from his master, but his skills were not ordinarily good, and it was not a problem to fight a dozen or twenty of them. Reborn into a carpenter's family, he didn't throw away his kung fu, he scored a point with both fists, and when he went to sea with one move, the two family members were knocked to the ground.

But at this moment, because of the excessive force, the arrow that was originally hidden in the cuff accidentally shook out. Yue Su didn't pay attention, he swept his waist and swept Xiao Jiu to the ground. Coincidentally, the iron arrow flicked to the ground, and the tip of the arrow rushed up, Xiao Jiu fell backwards, and his butt sat on the tip of the arrow. The arrows were incomparably sharp, and the small recoil was too great, and the entire arrow was completely submerged, only to make him scream in pain.

Seeing that Yue Su had knocked down the three companions lightly, the remaining family member was so frightened that he stepped back, how could he dare to step forward. Gongzi also saw that Yue Su was not easy to mess with, so he couldn't help but shudder and said, "Boy, don't come here...... My dad ...... My dad is ......."

The outside of the Gongyuan was lively, and the ancients also had a hobby of onlookers, and they had already surrounded Yue Su in a circle. At this time, a group of people came out of the Gongyuan, led by a middle-aged man wearing a black veil, wearing an official uniform, and a peacock complement on his chest. Standing beside him were the servants who were armed with swords.

Zou Jiaren stood on the top of the steps, and saw at a glance that there were people fighting in the crowd, fighting outside the Tribute Courtyard, which was worth it, Zou Jiaren immediately shouted, "Who is so bold to dare to fight outside the Tribute Courtyard, and no one else will give me a quick way to get out of the way!" ”
