After Huang Xu finished queuing up to hand in the information, someone told him that he could enter the palace to participate in the first round of written exams, and then someone directly brought him into the East Palace.

Huang Xu followed the person who led the way, turned around and walked into a simple room, in this room, the furnishings are very simple, let's say so, we should all remember the classroom where we stayed in school, then, the layout of this room is the same as the layout of the general classroom, the front of the room is a podium, there is a wide table on the podium, and under the podium, facing the direction of the podium, dozens of single tables are neatly placed, and each table is placed with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, It seems that this place should be the place used to test Huang Xu and them.

Huang Xu looked up and saw that there were already more than a dozen people coming before him, everyone was sitting together, one sentence in the east, one sentence in the west, chatting indiscriminately, but the content of the chat was inseparable from the upcoming first round of testing. Huang Xu looked around, found a relatively backward position and sat down, the reason why he found a back position is because he likes to sit in a row of zuihou when he is studying, and the reason why he likes to sit in a row of zuihou, the reason for this is that he is tall, sitting in the front, which may block the sight of his classmates behind him, and on the other hand, sitting in the back, he always feels that he can stay away from the teacher's sight, and there is not so much pressure in his heart. So, even now, he thinks that all the students sitting in the back row must have the same thoughts as he did then.

After a while, dozens of people came in the room one after another, until someone occupied a table in zuihou, and no one came in again. Huang Xu counted carefully, a total of eighty-eight people. In this way, the room is lively, everyone talks and laughs, and the atmosphere is very warm. At this moment, someone walked in again, only to see that this person was wearing a standard butler's costume, and there was a sign on his chest, which was estimated to be an identity card, but due to the distance, Huang Xu didn't see it very clearly, and this person was followed by two soldiers, who were still holding a stack of papers in their hands, Huang Xu guessed that this should be the test paper of today's written test.

The person walked to the table on the podium and stopped, looked around, and said: "First of all, here I welcome you to come, you know, today is a good day for us to recruit housekeepers in the East Palace, since everyone is competing for this position, you should also know the importance of the housekeeper in the East Palace, just before everyone came in, you must have been clear about the conditions required to apply for this position, the tests that need to be carried out, etc., and everyone can come here, it also means that you are ready to carry out the first step of this test: Written. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the deputy butler of this Dongwang Mansion, my name is Ning Zezhong, you can call me Ning Butler now, if in the future, one of you can be fortunate enough to become the big housekeeper of this Dongwang Mansion, then I Ning Zezhong will also become your subordinate, and I will respectfully call you when I don't get it: "The housekeeper is", please take more care. But, for now, you'd better get past the current hurdle."

As soon as Ning Zezhong's words were finished, someone whispered below, and some of what he said was nothing more than words of envy for this Ning steward and yearning for the steward of the East Palace.

"Do you have any questions?" Ning Zezhong continued.

Everyone was quiet all of a sudden, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't make a sound.

"Okay, since there is no problem, I'll count the number of people first, if you read someone's name, please answer, to, if anyone has arrived, but I didn't respond when I called the name, then your later results will be directly invalidated, and you will be out" After Ning Zezhong finished speaking, he began to roll call.

, Starting from the first one, until the end of the zuihou one, Ning Zezhong carefully counted the total number of people, no more, no less, exactly eighty-eight people.

"Then, next, I will distribute the test papers, and the test time is 1 hour, everyone should hurry." Ning Zezhong said, "By the way, do you still have any questions to ask before the test papers are distributed?" ”

No one spoke up.

"Okay, I think everyone knows very well, then, now start the curls, Xiao Li, you are responsible for the forty-four on the left, Xiao Yang, you are responsible for the forty-four on the right, let's start." Ning Zezhong said to the two soldiers standing next to him.

After a while, the two of them finished the test papers, and after sending them, the two of them retreated to both sides of the podium table, and stood with their hands on the handle of the knife, thinking that their duty was to ensure the smooth progress of today's written test, so as to prevent the occurrence of some irregularities and favoritism.

"Emphasize the discipline during the written test, no head to ear, no loud noise, no plagiarism of other people's answers, no private entrainment, no permission to do things unrelated to the written test, if there is a violation, the light, immediately eliminated, heavy, beaten to death." Ning Zezhong unhurriedly emphasized the rules of the test.

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, and they didn't expect to risk their lives to do an ordinary test, which is really a bit incredible. But Huang Xu doesn't think so, although the key point is to beat him to death with a stick, however, he also agrees with this approach, because if someone treats some things, knowing that they can't commit it but wants to commit it, they should be punished heavily, so as to set an example.

"Do you still have questions?" Ning Zezhong asked again.

Can you tell me there's a problem?

"Let's get started, then." Seeing that everyone was silent, Ning Zezhong said.

So, everyone began to bow their heads and answer the questions seriously.

And Huang Xu took the exam paper and looked at it, and found that it read:

1. Proposition composition

Topic: "How Do You Be a Good Housekeeper in the East Palace"

2. Arithmetic problems

5 simple arithmetic questions, 5 brain teasers, combined with the application problems of this era: 5 questions, a total of 15 questions.

3. Self-assessment

The content is not limited, but you can't despise the East Palace, and you can't speak disrespectfully to the East Palace, to put it simply, you just want to show your loyalty.

Good guy, where is this looking for a housekeeper, it is simply looking for a pacesetter with good ideological quality, high spiritual realm, IQ can not be too mediocre, and can be loyal to the Heavenly King's Mansion.

In any case, this question still has to be answered, not only to be answered, but also to be answered beautifully, otherwise, how can you be the steward of this palace.

Huang Xu's answer to the first question is only two words, and the answer to the third question is only the same two words, which two words are at the bottom of the road, let's not talk about it for the time being, and I will show it later, and for the answer to the second question, Huang Xu is sure that all the answers are correct, so that Huang Xu is confident to pass this first level.

One hour passed quickly, and just when many people were still thinking about it, Ning Zezhong's voice sounded again, "When the time comes, everyone stop answering the questions. Xiao Li, Xiao Yang, collect the test papers".

Everyone stopped the pen in their hands, you look at me, I look at you, from everyone's expressions, you can roughly see a clue, the person who has finished answering all the answers, a calm face, and the person who has not finished answering is full of sadness, but he can only accept his fate,

After Ning Zezhong finished collecting the test papers, he ordered everyone not to leave, and waited here, and after half an hour, he would announce the list of people who had entered the second round of interviews.

After Ning Zezhong left, most of them got together again, chatting about some gains and losses in this test, summing up experiences and lessons, and looking forward to entering the next round. And Huang Xu sat quietly alone on the side, seriously considering the response to the next few rounds of tests, on the whole, he analyzed the previous rounds of tests, it should not be difficult, the probability of passing is very high, but from the PK stage, the difficulty may begin to increase, maybe from this time, the real test will begin, and he guesses that as long as he gets out of the PK, he will succeed for the most part, zuihou's Dongwang interview, he is also confident that he can use his three-inch tongue to convince Dongwang.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, Ning Zezhong walked in with a piece of paper, no need to look at it, everyone knows that it should be written on it The list of people who can enter the second stage should be written on it, and the scene suddenly became quiet again.

"I'm announcing the list of personnel who have entered the second round now, and they are," he paused deliberately.

This stupid guy knows how to create a tense atmosphere, and I don't know if everyone is in a hurry? Hurry up, big brother.

"Huang Xu, Dongfang Bufu, Liu Yuhua, Wang Xiaoyong, Tian Xiaoer, a total of thirty-six, please read the thirty-six whose names will follow me to the second level of the test place for further assessment. And the people who are eliminated in this round, I will have someone take you away, and before leaving, you will get a special gift from the East Palace. "Ning Zezhong said.

In the first place, Huang Xu didn't feel strange, because he understood a truth, to conduct such a test, what is needed is to do what he likes and win by surprise.

From this moment on, Huang Xu's mind had already moved to the second round of tests.
