The grass in the courtyard was covered with dewdrops, and it shone faintly in the dim light of the house.

At this time, the fourth watch bell had just struck, and the sky was dark, and there were no stars and moons.

Bu Ru stood in front of the low courtyard wall, looking at the examination room opposite.

There are already people over there who are already preparing for today's exam.

The security guards who prevent unrest, the security guards who are responsible for entering the examination room to search their bodies, the officials who are responsible for patrolling the examination room, and the people who do chores and serve tea and water to the invigilator are all busy at this time, and shouting can be heard hundreds of meters away.

"Do you see the lights in the distance? They're all students preparing to enter the exam room, right? Pan Wenhai walked over and pointed to the lights in the distance and said.

Bu Ru looked intently, and sure enough, in the infinite darkness, there were countless lights flickering in all directions, like dotted stars, emitting a faint orange light.

These lights are converging in the direction of the examination room, and the largest light stream is coming out of the county town.

"Some people who live a little farther away, I'm afraid they will wake up after the third watch, go to the examination room on a starry night, this world is bustling, all for fame and fortune." Zhao Fuzi stood outside the door of the house and said with emotion.

Bu Ru and Pan Wenhai nodded together.

Bu Shuiyun shouted in the kitchen; "Don't talk about it, breakfast is almost ready, everyone hurry up and come over to help, and we'll be ready to go after eating in a while."

He got up early, and was helping the two chauffeurs of the Foot Family Team and the little scholar to make breakfast together.

Bu Ru and Pan Wenhai went into the kitchen together and brought out eggs, hair cakes, rice porridge, pickles and other foods.

"Don't eat anything too dry and salty for a while, and don't eat too much soup and porridge, so as not to encounter three emergencies when you go to the examination room." Uncle Shui Yun advised.

"Can't you go to the toilet when you enter the exam room?" Pan Wenhai asked.

Bushui Cloud Road; "It's not that you can't give it, but it's very troublesome, and you have to call the inspector to come and take you there. This is not the main thing, the main thing is that you have taken the test in general, and you suddenly have an urgent need to urinate in the state, and when you come back from the toilet, the inspiration is gone, and the loss is great. ”

He was in his early thirties and had been out of the exam room four times, making him the most experienced of the five.

And Zhao Fuzi is said to have passed the exam once when he was young, but his experience is not as rich as Bu Shuiyun.

Everyone is a reader, and those who often practice Baguwen know that sometimes an idea, an inspiration, or a particularly good sentence is really as fleeting as a meteor, and if you don't catch it, you can't remember it again.

The crowd nodded.

"Hey, where's the light boat?" Bu Ru asked when he picked up a piece of hair cake and was about to eat it.

Bu Shui Yun towards the mouth of Nunu in the room; "I just went in to see before I came out, and he didn't sleep all night."

Zhao Fuzi took the bowl of porridge and said; "It's normal, many people can't sleep like this before the exam, because they are too nervous."

Hearing this, Bu Ru put down the pastry and entered the room.

"Are you awake?" Whispered close to the bed, and sure enough, I saw that the guy was still lying flat on the bed, with his eyes closed.

"It's early." He shook it through the covers.

Shen Qingzhou didn't open his eyes, but his mouth was saying; "I want to squint a little longer."

"You haven't slept all night?"

"Hmm."

"We're still young, we haven't slept for one night and the next day is not the same as a tiger, don't squint, get up, otherwise there won't be enough time to enter the exam room." Pan Wenhai stood at the door eating eggs and shouted.

Young people live together, it is always easy to make friends, and Pan Wenhai and Shen Qingzhou are like old friends at this time.

Bu Ru said; "Are you afraid that you won't be able to take the exam, so you insist on forcing yourself to sleep for a while? But when you push yourself, you can't sleep. ”

Shen Qingzhou opened his eyes.

Buru gently lifted his quilt and said; "Get up, we still have a gentleman's dispute, do you want to admit defeat?"

"I'm not going to lose!" Shen Qingzhou jumped out of bed with a carp.

After eating breakfast together, everyone took out their respective test boxes, which contained pen and ink inkstones, and paper was not allowed to be brought, and the examination room would be sent at that time.

There are also pastries to eat in the exam box, because it is a day to take the exam when you enter the exam room, and you can't prepare some food.

However, these foods should also be not dry or wet, with steamed cakes or glutinous cakes are the most suitable, eat thirsty things as much as possible, water will bring a little but not much.

According to Bu Shuiyun's reminder, Zhao Fuzi also brought a blanket, because it would be colder to sit for a day without moving for the exam.

When you are ready, we will go to the exam room together.

Outside the examination room, there was already a lot of people, usually in front of the entrance of the examination room, which was rarely visited on the outskirts of the city, at this time there were people standing everywhere, in addition to the candidates, there were many candidates' scholars, family members or slaves.

These people are a mess, and if they weren't for the guards who stopped them, I'm afraid they would have squeezed into the examination room.

This is just a county test, there are so many people, if you go to the government test, the township test, then there are more people? Bu Ru thought to himself.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to start entering.

In the beginning, it was the showmen who brought their insured candidates into the venue.

These talents are all famous, and they can not worship the officials, and they naturally have privileges for these small officials who check the security guards in the examination scene.

There were about thirty or forty groups of five people in each group, and only after all of them had entered the hall did they arrive at the candidates who had formed each other.

Like the previous candidates with insurance, everyone should also search their bodies and check the test box to see if there is any entrainment and the like.

However, when the candidates entered the venue, they seemed to be searched more carefully.

Not only will they touch the candidate's whole body, but they will also break their hair, and even take off their shoes to check the test box or test blue.

There is also the food in the test box, which is also all cut.

When the sky was bright, about two-thirds of the people in the examination room entered, and it was the turn of a group of people to enter the examination room, and the five of them stood outside for almost half an hour, all of them very tired.

Walking to the door of the examination room, it was Zhao Fuzi at first, then Shen Qingzhou, and Bu Shuiyun, all of them insisted smoothly and arranged to wait at the door.

When it was Buru's turn, he walked to the door.

There is a table in front of the door, and two officials are responsible for checking the examination box, and two officials are responsible for searching the body.

Next to the place where the body was searched were some scholars, slaves and talents who had sent people to the examination room.

This group of evil guys was idle and bored, and gathered around to watch the excitement.

Then I heard someone shouting; "This guy is Bu Ru, the Bu Ru who is rich and unkind, and pigs and dogs are not as good."

At this shout, many people suddenly looked over, and a group of people buzzed and whispered.

Bu Ru looked over, and at this time, the sky could clearly see the faces of people not far away, and it was really his sister-in-law's brother Qi Renming who shouted.

Qi Renming thought that when he shouted like this, someone would definitely echo and scold Bu Ru, but the onlookers didn't say anything except for talking in a low voice for a while, which caused him to be a little surprised when he was about to see the joke.
