After getting off the boat, the two students were very grateful, knowing that Song Chongjin had not yet decided on a room in the inn, so they strongly invited them to live with them.

They had already wrapped up the yard with a few people, and it didn't matter if there were two more people.

Song Chongjin only said that he had a place to live, so he finally excused himself.

When I arrived at the place that Imperial Doctor Du said, it was really a small courtyard, and it was quiet in the middle of the noise.

It's cleaned and complete.

An old couple looked at the house and saw that Song Chongjin and Yang Zongbao had arrived, and after a while, they boiled hot water and sorted out the meal.

waited until Song Chongjin settled down here, and then went out to find the few classmates who had made friends in Evergreen Academy.

Yang Zongbao already knew which inn they were staying in, so he brought them over directly.

The classmate was also relieved to see Song Chongjin, so he saw that the exam was coming, Song Chongjin had returned to the countryside and had not yet arrived, they were afraid that Song Chongjin would not be able to catch up, and this miss would be another three years.

Now that I see him with my own eyes, I am also relieved.

After a few greetings, Song Chongjin knew that it was true, this Qingzhou Mansion is now very lively, the inns are full, and many people have also rented out their rooms.

There are still many students who will arrive, and I am afraid that some people will have no place to live, so they can only borrow from the temple outside the city.

Just these classmates from Evergreen Academy, they didn't come too late, and they didn't book any good rooms, and the people who came and went every day were so noisy that they couldn't even study every day.

When Song Chongjin heard this, he generously invited these people to come to the courtyard where he lived, not to mention anything else, quietly.

There are no outsiders to bother, it is best to read books together and discuss with each other.

Everyone knows that Song Chongjin is a person, not just talking about it, since he has opened his mouth, he is sincerely invited.

However, everyone is measured, knowing that this courtyard is also borrowed by Song Chongjin, and only said that he came to Wen Shu during the day and still went back to the inn at night.

Although the inn is a bit noisy, it is also beneficial, and there are many sources of grapevine.

A few people agreed, because there were more people here to warm books during the day, Yang Zongbao was walking outside from south to north, how shrewd, at night he sealed five taels of silver for the old couple who watched the house and cooked, and asked them to prepare more meals during the day, which was considered the money for buying vegetables.

The old couple didn't expect to have this extra quick money, so they were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth, so they didn't have the mouth to agree.

After discussing the clean meals, the classmates were grateful and embarrassed, and after discussing, they sealed a red envelope and scraped together a few taels of silver to pay the food expenses.

Song Chongjin didn't care about this bit of silver, but he also knew that the temper of these classmates was not the one who took advantage of others.

Just laugh it off.

Soon it was the ninth day of August, and autumn began.

There are three performances in this autumn festival, three performances on the ninth day of August, August 12 and August 15, each with three days.

Although it is still hot during the day in August, at night, the night breeze begins to cool.

I am afraid that the candidates will cheat with cheat sheets, and the candidates cannot wear jackets yet.

Wang Yongzhu had already inquired, and Mrs. Zhang also had experience, so she brought a few single robes to Song Chongjin early, and she could wear a few more when it was cold at night, so as not to get cold.

I also prepared a tarpaulin, which is afraid that in case of wind and rain, it is good to block the wind and rain.

Each candidate brings his own food, and because of the hot weather, he does not dare to bring food in, otherwise he will be spoiled for a day.

Most of them brought dry food in and dealt with it for a few days.

The mother-in-law in the mouth of the old couple in the small courtyard made a dry pancake with one hand, which saved Song Chongjin the trouble.

In addition, Song Chongjin also brought his own mushroom sauce, two taels of tea leaves, as well as a small red clay small wind stove, a small teapot, flint and a small basket of charcoal.

After entering the number room, there is a special place for a stove and a teapot, where you can boil some boiling water to drink.

Originally, Song Chongjin didn't want to take herself, but Wang Yongzhu was very persistent, she asked, the water prepared by the Gongyuan is in a water tank, who knows if the water tank is clean?

If you drink this raw water, if it causes stomach upset, everything will be ruined.

I'd rather be troublesome than avoid these possibilities.

When Song Chongjin heard it, what he said made sense.

I don't dislike the trouble, and I have prepared all the things on the list listed by Wang Yongzhu.

Queuing up to enter the examination room, Song Chongjin thought that it was an exaggeration to carry a big basket like this, but when he arrived at the scene, he looked before and after, and realized that he was really naïve.

Some brought bedding, some brought woks, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and those who didn't know thought he was not here to take the exam, but to test the chef.

There are also those who come with servants and maids to go in.

Most of them carry large baskets on their backs, after all, they have to stay in it for three days and two nights.

People who have a lot of money are naturally more willing at this time, and they can't wait to even move in and serve themselves.

The people who are tight on money also do their best to bring white flour pancakes that they are reluctant to eat on weekdays.

Yang Zongbao sent Song Chongjin to the door of the Gongyuan, and several small officials at the door were carefully picking up, and all those that were unqualified or prohibited were thrown out.

Song Chongjin was frank and unrestrained to let someone inspect him, while instructing Yang Zongbao: "Uncle, you can pick me up in three days." ”

After checking it, Song Chongjin didn't bring any unqualified and contraband, so he naturally gave the number plate and let him go.

Inside, according to the number on the sign, find your own number room, fortunately, the position is not forward or backward, just under the shade of the tree, the sun is not shining.

Putting down the things, Song Chongjin first put the wind stove, kettle and the like, and then sprinkled his room with the snake repellent medicine given by Imperial Doctor Du, took out the pen and ink inkstone and set it one by one, went to get a pot of water, and then sat quietly in the room and waited.

As soon as the time came, the gate of the tribute courtyard was immediately closed, and the wolf-like guards were firmly guarded, and the people outside did not want to enter, and the people inside did not want to come out.

In the number room, the examiners handed out papers to everyone, and then there were examiners who slowly walked through the number room with the questions of the exam, so that the candidates could see the questions clearly.

In the entire Gongyuan, except for the footsteps of the examiner, everyone held their breath and stared, for fear of missing a word on the question.

By the time the examiner finished walking around, someone had already begun to grind the ink and lay the paper and start answering the questions.

Song Chongjin was not in a hurry, first wrote the title on scratch paper, and then while thinking about it in his head, his subordinates were not idle.

First, the stove is lit, and the water in the kettle is poured out for a while to prepare for grinding, and the rest is all sitting on the stove, waiting for the water to boil, and then the ink is grinding.

The ink is polished, the water is also boiled, and the tea leaves are pinched into two small rubs, and the fragrance of the tea is overflowing immediately, which makes people's minds clear.

The fragrance of this tea made the examiners who were originally inspecting couldn't help but have their eyes drifting over, and the candidates, smelling the smell, couldn't help but sigh, and those who were bold poked their heads out and were reprimanded by the examiner.

Song Chongjin slowly carried the teapot to the table, then laid out the paper, and after a moment of silence, he began to pour ink on his head.
