Early the next morning, Doctor Zhang moved a large number of books to Wang Yu's room.

"These books are all for the children's exam, and the teacher has found them for you, you can read them well."

Wang Yu took a look at these books, including "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", and "Spring and Autumn...... Some of them she had seen, and some of them she hadn't seen, and she immediately felt that her head was big.

"There is still half a month to go before the exam, I hope you can memorize these books and not live up to the expectations of being a teacher."

After Dr. Zhang wrote down his ardent expectations on a piece of paper, he clapped his hands and left.

Wang Yu: "......"

Not long after Doctor Zhang left, Yuan Tiangang walked in.

"I heard that you are going to prepare for the children's scientific examination next, so during this time, Kelan will be taken care of by the teacher."

As he spoke, he took Ke Lan from Wang Yu's arms.

"Wang~" Curran stretched out his forelimbs towards Wang Yu.

"Wait."

Wang Yu stopped him and pointed to the opposite position: "Master, don't leave first, I have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

He said to Curan again: "Collan, be good, you should follow Master well during this time, and don't run around." ”

Yuan Tiangang sat down opposite her, and put his right hand on Ke Lan's back: "You say." ”

Wang Yu first asked the question that made her most curious: "Why did Doctor Zhang set those three rules?" ”

"Uh...... It's a matter of secrecy, so let's wait for Zhang Lao'er to tell you in the future. ”

"Then why did he let me take the children's exam?" Wang Yu was puzzled: "Even if he wants me to be his apprentice, he can make other requirements, why is this condition alone?" ”

"Uh......" Yuan Tiangang struggled inwardly for a while, and decided to reveal a little: "Probably because his only son died suddenly of illness the day before taking the Tongzi exam, so he is very persistent in Tongzike." ”

Yuan Tiangang stood up suddenly: "For the sake of you and my master-apprentice relationship, I remind you for the teacher, don't mention his only son in front of Doctor Zhang."

"That's all I have to say, and being a teacher won't bother you to study."

Before he could finish speaking, he hugged Curran and walked outside.

Wang Yu looked at the direction in which he disappeared, thoughtfully.

The reason why Doctor Zhang likes the handsome Xiao Langjun is probably because he is haunted by the feelings of his only son......

----------

In the following days, Wang Yu stayed in his room to read books and recuperate.

After three days, her hearing returned to normal.

Daquan and the others were very happy, Wang Kangda held a small family banquet as the master of the Li Mansion, and invited Yuan Tiangang and Doctor Zhang.

Zuo Si immediately sent a letter back to the Qin Palace, informing the eldest grandson of the good news.

The time has entered August, and the date of the exam is coming in a blink of an eye.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, Wang Kangda once again checked the examination tools for Wang Yu: "Master, you bring this book, you see, they have all brought it." ”

Wang Kangda handed over the book and continued to read it in pieces: "I know you have a good memory, but just in case, let's bring it." ”

"Don't." Wang Yu snatched the book from his hand and stuffed it to Qiu Yue.

The book Wang Kangda said was "Cutting Rhyme", which was a rhyme book written by Lu Fayan in the Sui Dynasty, which reflected the pronunciation of the Chinese language at that time, that is, a reference book.

Wang Yu naturally didn't need such a reference book, so he didn't want to bring it in.

"Okay, I'm in." Wang Yu took the things from Wang Kangda's hands and walked towards the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

It wasn't until Wang Yu's back disappeared at the gate of the Gongyuan that Doctor Zhang, who was not far away, retracted his gaze.

Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but teasing: "I obviously wanted to send her, but I didn't say I couldn't come, I didn't say I couldn't come, and I dragged me to the Gongyuan, and I hid aside and watched secretly."

"You're ......"

Doctor Zhang didn't want to talk to him, so he turned around and left.

"Hey, aren't you guarding your apprentice outside the Tribute Courtyard?" Yuan Tiangang chased after him slowly.

Divine Doctor Zhang glanced at him: "Isn't Qilang your apprentice?" ”

"It's my apprentice, yes, but I didn't let him take the exam."

"You ......" Doctor Zhang was dumbfounded for a moment.

Yuan Tiangang admired his deflated expression from the side, and asked again: "Are you really not going to guard outside the Tribute Courtyard?" ”

"No, I'm going back to make pills."

"What do you do with pills?"

"Qilang has to stay in the Gongyuan for three days, he can't eat or sleep well, and his body has only recovered, how can he withstand such a toss? In case of a recurrence of ear disease, they will have to settle accounts with me and call me a quack. For the sake of my golden sign, I have to go back to making pills. ”

Doctor Zhang's tone was angry, but the concern revealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows still made Yuan Tiangang catch it.

Looking at such a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted Doctor Zhang, Yuan Tiangang was in a trance for a while, he hadn't seen such a Doctor Zhang for many years.

......

After Wang Yu entered the Tribute Academy, he stood with all the candidates and waited for the inspection.

The candidates were wearing single clothes, and the officials of the Gongyuan held bamboo rulers and examined the candidates' bodies to see if there was any entrainment.

There are also small officials next to them to check the tools they brought in, and if there are hidden smuggling belts, they will all be confiscated.

Wang Yu was frankly examined, his eyes secretly observing the situation around him.

At the end of this round of inspection, three of the examination tools were checked and copied by the officials.

The chief examiner, Guo Xingfang, called the three out of the ranks, reprimanded them in public, and reprimanded the three of them until their faces turned red and they hung their heads in shame, and he gave up.

"Since you are a first-time offender, I will give you another chance and allow you to continue the exam."

Guo Xingfang said with a straight face: "If you cheat again during the examination, you will be disqualified from the examination, and you will not be allowed to participate in all imperial examinations within three years." ”

After all, the three of them were young, and they were reprimanded in public, and they felt ashamed, and when they heard that they could continue the exam, they were naturally full of gratitude.

Everything is ready to start the first round of exams – the oral exam.

In a separate room, the examiner or deputy examiner indicates a certain book and a certain article, and asks the candidate to memorize it, a total of ten articles.

Although the examiner and the two deputy examiners took the oral examination at the same time, they went in one by one, and this round of oral examination also took a day.

Reciting it, Wang Yu is not a problem, she only took two quarters of an hour to memorize, and her thinking is smooth, her tone is subdued, not a word is wrong, Guo Xingfang was secretly surprised when she heard it.

Out of the wing room, Wang Yu frowned slightly, the ancient imperial examination really had many drawbacks......

After the oral examination, the candidates were given a dormitory.

The dense number of houses lined up together is very spectacular. Each row of numbers is arranged in order with "Thousand Character Text", and "a certain font number" is written on the lintel of the alley, such as: Tian Zi Number.

Each row of houses is more or less different, some have fifty rooms, some have sixty rooms or more than a hundred, all lined up in a long alley to the south. The entrance of the alley is equipped with lights and water tanks, and there is a changing room at the end of each row.

Each room is four feet wide and five feet deep, with a back wall eight feet high and a front eaves about six feet high. There is a brick bracket about a foot above the ground on the brick walls on both sides of the building for shelving boards.

The board is made up of two planks, and if you put them on the ground and put them together to cover the house, it becomes a bed. If the candidate needs to answer the question and write, he will move the outer plate to the upper brick support, and the inner plate will not move, and the candidate will kneel on the inner board to answer and write.

"This is your barn, go inside." The clerk stopped.

Wang Yu paused, her eyes scanned her surroundings, and when she realized the location of this house, her brows furrowed fiercely......
