The first examination of the imperial examination is three days, and anything can happen in these three days, if it is cold because of the cold, I am afraid that the cold window of the past ten years will be completely disappointed.

Not to mention the cramped space of this room, the facilities inside are even more simple, only two wooden planks up and down, used as a desk and stool when answering questions, and the two planks are put together at night to make a simple bed. Under such difficult conditions, there are often candidates who can't stand it and suddenly fall ill inside.

Due to the rule that the door of the Gongyuan cannot be opened until the examination is over, there are many older candidates who are dying, so it is really not a joke to say that a imperial examination costs people's lives

Without thinking about it anymore, Xu Huaiqing removed the wooden planks in the room and laid them aside, lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate. The time when they entered the examination room was midnight, and the sky was not yet fully bright, unlike the candidates next door who were reading words, Xu Huaiqing felt that before the papers were sent down, it was the right way to seize the time to recuperate.

I don't know how long it took, in a daze, Xu Huaiqing heard the noisy sound, and after realizing that he was in the examination room, he immediately opened his eyes, picked up the handkerchief he had prepared before, and wiped his face.

There are already official messengers handing over papers and straw paper on the wooden board, the first test is Jingyi, although this kind of exam questions are already experienced in a hundred battles for candidates who can participate in the examination, but Xu Huaiqing still does not dare to take it lightly, after all, whether a imperial examination is good or not, the first one is the key.

Today's imperial examination adopts the eight-strand text, perhaps because of the limited subject matter, it has derived some tricky ways to ask questions, and the truncated question is the one that candidates hate the most, and the most prestigious is a topic in the previous dynasty: "Mrs. Jun's Yang Desire." ”

Literally, it is quite fragrant, but in fact, it is taken from two sentences in the Analects, and two unrelated words make up a topic, and it is difficult for those who write the question to think of it.

Fortunately, Xu Huaiqing encountered a decent question this time, and after a long sigh of relief, he began to answer the question. Solve the problem, undertake the topic, start to talk, start, start the stock, middle share, back share, bundle share. The eight strands of text are indispensable.

After careful examination, he copied it on the test paper.

The three days were very fast, during which Xu Huaiqing also went outside to drink water, and when he passed by the smelly number, he couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at the candidates inside.

By the time Xu Huaiqing left the examination room, he was already exhausted. Bai Jiujiu waited at the door early, and as soon as he saw Xu Huaiqing, he couldn't wait to go over to help. This scene was staged on many people at the same time, and all of these candidates had high hopes, and they couldn't stop shouting at this time.

Xu Huaiqing waved his hand tiredly and motioned for Bai Jiujiu to help him into the carriage.

The carriage was swaying, and Xu Huaiqing fell asleep unconsciously. Looking at the obvious blue and black in his eyes, Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Until she reached the door of the inn, she couldn't bear to wake him up.

In the end, it was Bai Jiujiu who carried Xu Huaiqing back to the room. Fortunately, today is the first time that the candidates have left the examination room, and there are countless people who have been carried on their backs. Bai Jiujiu's hugging like this is not particularly eye-catching.

Xu Huaiqing slept very deeply, and he didn't wake up until the next day.

"You're awake, this is the shredded chicken porridge I boiled, you drink a little faster."

Because he had just woken up, Xu Huaiqing's eyes were still a little confused, and a shadow appeared vaguely in front of him, like the person he thought about day and night on the tip of his heart.

"Young Master?"

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the other party, a clear and cold voice shattered his illusions. Where is the person in front of him Bai Jiujiu, who is the little guy who followed him to the scientific expedition.

"Ahem, how did you boil shredded chicken porridge." Xu Huaiqing coughed dryly, as if to hide his embarrassment, and shifted the topic to shredded chicken porridge.

These words made Bai Jiujiu's figure stunned, thinking that Xu Huaiqing had discovered something, and stumbled to try to explain, "Yes...... It was my wife who taught me to do it, yes, it was my wife who taught me. ”

Damn, how can I forget that I used to make shredded chicken porridge for Xu Huaiqing, he wouldn't have found out, impossible, I'm a little guy now, how could he find out.

Bai Jiujiu's heart kept beating drums, but his face did not show anything, and he looked directly at Xu Huaiqing without avoidance.

"Really?" Xu Huaiqing glanced at her suspiciously, "The porridge is almost cold, give it to me." ”

"Huh? Oh! Bai Jiujiu was already ready to be questioned by the other party, but he didn't expect Xu Huaiqing to pick it up high and put it down gently.

However, it was not suspected, but it made her breathe a sigh of relief.

There are a total of three exams, and Xu Huaiqing has not yet relieved his breath, and the next exam will follow. Because of the sudden reform before, Bai Jiujiu specially went to find a few leather clothes, which are warm and lightweight, and not easy to carry, so they can be brought in after the search, which is much warmer than single clothes.

At the dawn of the day, the candidates rushed in with baskets. This test is a table judgment, Xu Huaiqing has a clear mind, and the pen is like divine help.

Just when the meeting was going on in an orderly manner, the other side was plotting to make a move against the department.

"Your Highness, this is the test paper of the previous township examination, and among the candidates this time, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, especially this Xu Huaiqing, I am afraid it will affect our plans."

A bony palm flipped through the test paper in his hand, and then stopped at one of the papers.

"Xu Huaiqing?" The hands slowly moved up, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Tell us to go down, be sure to let our people get Huiyuan, and when necessary, we can use some special means." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The visitor respectfully stepped back, and for a moment, only the sound of paper churning remained in the room. The wind peeked through the windows, blowing the flickering candle flames, distorting the shadows on the walls.

And the owner of that shadow is the current prince.

At this time, Xu Huaiqing did not know that his existence would threaten the interests of some people. I don't know that those people will be bold enough to do their tricks in the imperial examination.

At the time of the last policy question, Xu Huaiqing rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache, at this time it was already the seventh day of the imperial examination, and the brains of these candidates were already a piece of mush, and they all relied on instinct to answer the questions.

When he got the question, he raised his eyebrows a little differently, "What is home, how is it to govern the country." Although this topic seems simple and straightforward, it is actually a hidden mystery.

For thousands of years, so many kings have sought their own way of governing the country, but who can say that their own path is the right one?

It's a difficult question to answer.
