On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the weather was not bad, it was sunny early in the morning, Hu Ye got up early, today is a big day in life, compared with the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Not only Hu Ye, but all the candidates got up early in the morning and hurried to the Tribute Academy.

"Brother Hu, it seems that you are full of confidence." Yin Changlong also got up early, stretched his waist at the door, and said to Hu Ye.

"Brother Yin laughed, where do I have any confidence, but a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so I can take the test how I want." Hu Ye smiled, and then said, "It's you, Brother Yin, I pressed 10,000 taels of silver on you, you have to have confidence in yourself." ”

"Since Brother Hu is full of confidence in me, there is no reason why I don't have confidence in myself." Yin Changlong shook the bag behind his back, and it seemed that he was not short of things.

In these years, the township test is very strict, and it is impossible for you to come out to buy food, and you have to squat in that small compartment on the eighth day of the new year, and you can't come out until the tenth day of the new year. During this period, all the eating, drinking, and Lazar must be inside, and how can you not prepare more food.

"Let's go, let's go together." Hu Ye followed Yin Changlong out of the inn as he spoke, with Saren Tsing Yi and Lao Qian following behind.

Laiyun Inn is very close to Jiangnan Gongyuan, and you can see the gate of Gongyuan when you get out of that street.

There were a lot of people who participated in the township test, and because unrelated people were not allowed to enter the tribute house, Lao Qian and the two girls were stopped.

So they had no choice but to cheer for Hu Ye outside, and said that Hu Ye would definitely be able to go to high school, which attracted a burst of disdain from other servants. It's such a little doll, and I have to go back to study for two more years.

The inspection of the Tribute House was very annoying, and not only did he have to look at all the clothes on his body, but there was an entrainment on one side. Even the dry food brought in has to be checked, and the pastries and other things have to be mashed, for fear of what notes are hidden in it.

Hu Ye is nothing. It's really as he said, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, check it, anyway, we are not afraid of shadows.

But some scholars were terrified because they had cheat sheets on them.

There was a candidate who was dressed in blue clothes and looked a little special, and the official who checked him just looked at him curiously, and did not say anything to him.

But at this time, Wang Wei came over and asked the official to stop the scholar. Then Wang Wei casually picked up a bowl of water next to him and splashed it on the scholar's body.

The scholar's clothes immediately got wet. provoked a burst of exclamations from the surrounding scholars, and some people pointed at Wang Wei, even if it was the chief examiner, he couldn't insult the candidates like this.

However, just when they wanted to accuse Wang Wei, they suddenly found that lines of handwriting began to appear on the scholar's Tsing Yi, which was very small and could not be seen clearly from a distance.

But the people present recognized it at a glance, this is definitely a word related to the township test, this scholar wants to bring it in to cheat!

"Hmph. This cheating trick is also delusional to get by? Think a little green juice can get away with me? Wang Wei looked at the handwriting on the scholar's body and snorted coldly, "Come on, take him down for me." Send it to Yingtianfu. ”

Immediately, I saw two officials come forward to take the candidate, and the candidate's face had turned the color of pig liver, and he hurriedly knelt down for Wang Wei and cried loudly.

It probably means that he has a seventy or eighty old mother at home. He had to take the imperial examination before he could step into the official career.

Don't say it's Wang Wei this lie, even Hu Ye can't listen to it. You look like you're only in your twenties, and your old mother is in her seventies and eighties?

"See, no. If you want to cheat, this is the end! Wang Wei pointed to the candidates who were taken away by the official mission, and said coldly to the group of candidates who were being examined, and then deliberately glanced at Hu Ye.

Hu Ye hurriedly turned his head, this Wang Wei was weird, and the Wang Wei he saw that day was not the same person at all.

"Hey, just dare to come to the township examination, now it's okay, don't say a penalty, don't think about participating in the imperial examination in the next three sessions." A candidate next to him looked at the candidate who was pulled away, shook his head and said.

"Isn't it, in the past few years, someone used green juice to write on the green clothes, and when you enter the examination room, you can use water to make it appear, I have to say that this is a good way to cheat. But the last imperial court discovered this problem, and dealt with this matter strictly, but I didn't expect that there would be people who dared to commit crimes against the wind this time, and they really hit the muzzle of the gun. Another muttered.

Hu Ye didn't bother to care about what happened to that candidate, he still cared about himself, maybe now Ruan An was squatting in the palace, cursing himself not to be lifted.

After the complicated inspection, the candidates were arranged in a small compartment five feet deep, four feet wide, and eight feet high, and for the next three days, they had to squat in this compartment inch by inch.

Hu Ye looked at the compartment in front of him and felt that where was this for the exam, it was clear that he was here to suffer, and he was spending money to buy it.

Originally, he could have slept peacefully in the Nameless Mansion, but it was Ruan An's dead eunuch who recommended him to Zhu Yuanzhang to get himself to this tribute courtyard, which was not even as good as a prison. So Hu Ye secretly decided that when he was developed, he would definitely not let Ruan An have a good time.

In fact, there is no need to wait for Hu Ye to retaliate, Ruan An is already very sad. Because since he met Hu Ye from the inn that day, Ruan An has been troubled by Hu Ye's so-called Newton theory.

Hu Ye told him that he was like a bird trapped in a cage, lacking not ability, but space and imagination. But he never understood why he was a bird trapped in a cage instead of a bird in the sky.

So since then, Ruan An has been fiddling with hairpins, and Hu Ye told him that there is nothing wrong with using hairpins to express the size of Newton, but there are some limitations, so what should be used to represent it?

For this reason, he also asked the palace maid to find a larger hairpin, but it was only able to open larger, and he still couldn't understand it.

Just when Hu Ye entered the examination booth, Ruan An was staring at the big hairpin in his hand, and he didn't notice that there were two people walking behind him.

"Ahem." The man behind him coughed, trying to get Ruan An's attention.

Ruan An was in deep contemplation at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to this voice at all.

But then the voice sounded a few more times, and Ruan An turned around impatiently, wanting to see which slave dared to interrupt his thoughts.

But as soon as he turned around, his legs immediately stopped shaking, and then he knelt down without the slightest spine.

"Slave maid...... Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live. Ruan An hurriedly shouted to the visitor, the big hairpin in his hand had fallen to the ground, but he didn't dare to pick it up now.

"Xiao Anzi, I didn't expect you to be so old, and you still know what to do." The person who came smiled slightly, asked the person behind him to pick up the hairpin that had fallen on the ground, and said to Ruan An while playing.

"The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins, the slave just thought of a strange thing just now, and she didn't mean to snub the emperor." Ruan An hurriedly confessed.

It turned out that this person was the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has the spirit of the past, his face is old, the beard under his forehead has turned white, and there are many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Alright, get up." Zhu Yuanzhang said casually, and then shook his hand at the eunuch behind him.

Seeing this, the eunuch consciously removed the room, leaving Ruan An and Zhu Yuanzhang in the room.

"Slave and maid, thank you, Your Majesty." Ruan An stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Yuanzhang to the chair next to him and sit down.

"Hey, people are old and useless." Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair and coughed.

"The emperor is not old at all, and he has not lived to the beginning compared to long live." Nguyen An should admit.

"Just your mouth will say, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen you as my personal eunuch back then." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little old, recalling the situation back then, and also lamenting that the years were unforgiving.

"Xiao Anzi, thank the emperor for cultivating." Although Ruan An is also a lot older, he can only call himself Xiao Anzi in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, which was called so when Zhu Yuanzhang was young, and it has not changed until now.

"Okay, let me ask you, you went to see the kid you said a few days ago, is he still as amazing as you said before." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked Ruan An. (To be continued......)
