In the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling has always been known as the city of culture, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there have been 800 champions, more than 10,000 Jinshi, and there are countless people, it is the cradle of officials who have entered the court.

Just like this Enke, nearly 1,000 people took the exam, and there was a long queue outside the Gongyuan.

Wealthy children will bring domestic servants when they go to the city to take the exam, so that they can take care of the living of the Shizi in the next two days. Students from poor backgrounds can only carry their own examination baskets and bring dry food inside, and if they want to make a fire and cook, they can only do it themselves.

Yingyun and Yu nobles lined up in the line, looking at the crowds in front of and behind them, like swimming dragons, they didn't see the beginning and the end, it was really spectacular.

Yu Guiren carried the examination basket in his hand, prepared dry food in it, and also had some raw food, waiting for it to be cooked after entering the examination room.

There are invigilators at the door who are checking one by one, even if it is a white steamed bun brought into the entrance, it is required to be cut in half to prevent cheating.

Seeing that the team was moving slowly, Ying Yun couldn't help frowning and sighed: "Why is it so slow?" If it goes on like this, it will be noon. ”

One of the candidates in line behind her said: "Brother, don't complain, today is fast, you didn't see the township exam, the invigilator had to search his body, and it would take a day just to enter." ”

When Yingyun heard that she was going to be searched, she hurriedly asked, "Do you still want to search your body?" ”

The candidate nodded and said, "Our township test regulations there are to search the body, so I can't say it here." ”

Another candidate turned around and said: "I heard that there are many people who participated in Enke this time, and the inspection at the door is not strict, and when I get to the number house, there will be a second round of investigation." ”

Yingyun breathed a sigh of relief, just didn't need to be searched.

The neighbors chatted for a while, and then it was Yingyun's turn. The invigilator just looked Yingyun up and down, and roughly flipped through the exam basket she was carrying, and let her in. Seek the magic TXT

Yu Guiren followed her into the tribute courtyard and said softly: "I didn't expect to come in so easily." ”

"Let's go," Ying Yun looked at the number plate in her hand and said, "Let's be in Building 359." ”

The house is in the east and west of Mingyuan Building, which is the place where the scholars take the examination and lodging. The brick walls on the left and right walls of the building are one or two feet above the ground, and the upper and lower brick supports are built to place the upper and lower wooden planks on them.

At the entrance of the house, there were two invigilators standing in each row, checked Yingyun's number plate, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhao Asan."

Ying Yun mentioned her pseudonym, it was really a black line, and the emperor should have deliberately ridiculed her to give her such a casual and uncultured name.

Ah San, Ah Si, not much different from a cat and a dog.

The invigilator looked through the name books in his hand, ticked Zhao Asan's name, and let them in.

Ying Yun found the number house that belonged to her, and Yu Guiren placed the things she brought with her, took a look at the number houses adjacent to the left and right, and waited for the exam with peace of mind.

Idle, Yu Guiren asked: "I see that many people come in with domestic servants, so they are not afraid of mixing in to take the exam?" ”

Yingyun said: "If the domestic servant can pass the master's examination, he will go to participate in the imperial examination himself, so it is unlikely that the domestic servant who follows will be a substitute for the examination." ”

Yu Guiren nodded, and watched boredly as one after another people occupied the room.

Yingyun said softly: "We just came in, and we won't see anything for a while, and when the exam starts tomorrow, we will know what kind of process they have." ”
