Gu Chengyu endured the musty smell of the quilt and forced himself to sleep.

The candidate opposite lit a candle and began to write the third question in the faint light of the candle. The second question took too long, but he decided to write it again in the evening, both of which only had a rough outline and needed to be polished.

He looked at the candidate opposite, it was a little baby, and he was already lying on the bed board and falling asleep. He shook his head, such a young candidate wants to stand out from it, it's difficult! Is it any wonder that the candidate should eat and sleep, this is about to give up?

He glanced to the side, and saw that everyone was fighting with the lights, so he withdrew his gaze and brought the exam paper and the candle closer. Although there are lanterns above the examination booth, the vision is still a little blurred.

Gu Chengyu finally counted the sheep and fell asleep, and he didn't know how long he slept, and he was suddenly woken up by an exclamation next to him!

"It's on fire! It's on fire! Then there was a cacophony.

Gu Chengyu immediately jumped up from the bed board, he first glanced at the examination shed opposite, and saw that the candidate opposite was carrying a test paper in his hand, which was already on fire, the man slapped the fire with his sleeve, the flame was not big, and after two strokes, the fire on the test paper was extinguished.

It's just that the examinee wailed, Gu Chengyu looked at the test paper he was carrying, it turned out that a small half of it had been burned, and the man began to cry, this voice had already alarmed the officers, and they had already walked over.

"What? No noise in the exam room! One of the officers shouted.

Then the two of them set up the candidate and dragged him out. Although Gu Chengyu felt sorry for this candidate, he was really relieved, if a fire broke out in the examination room, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, the door of the Tribute Courtyard was completely closed, and both the examiner and the candidates had to stay inside the Tribute Academy, and the outside was locked. Only tomorrow when it is time to hand in the papers, the lock outside the door will be opened.

Several candidates in a row retracted their heads and lit candles at night, so naturally they had to be very careful, and everyone shook their heads, not knowing whether to sigh that the candidate was unlucky, or to think that the candidate was too careless!

Gu Chengyu looked at the other side and saw that the candle had burned to the end, it seemed that the test paper just now was very close to the candle, and there was some wind tonight, so it might be burned like this.

Since he woke up, he didn't plan to sleep again, and looked at the small clock in the space and found that it was already half past four in the morning. Gu Chengyu dipped the handkerchief in water and wiped his face, he couldn't brush his teeth here, so he could only endure it first. Then, he patted his cheek to sober himself up.

Lay out the scratch paper and prepare to change the last piece of yesterday's policy!

By the time the errand officer brought breakfast, Gu Chengyu had already opened the test paper and began to copy!

Jiang Zhifu came over early in the morning and heard that a candidate fell asleep when he was writing the exam paper at night, and the test paper was still on fire. Since ancient times, it is not that there has been no fire in the tribute courtyard, and together with the fire, will they be engulfed in the fire together? It seems that two more officers will be added to patrol at night.

The door will be unlocked at the end of the day today, so candidates who want to hand in their papers will have to wait until the next day. Since there was enough time, Gu Chengyu wrote more slowly.

Jiang Zhifu paced, looked at the exam papers of the candidates on both sides, and glanced at it roughly, some of them were already writing the third question, and some of them were writing slowly, and they were only half of the second question.

He paused and walked towards Gu Chengyu. glanced at it, a little surprised, I didn't expect Gu Chengyu to do it so quickly, and he was already copying the answer. Looking at Gu Chengyu's serious face, he remembered the matter of the mountain bandits, maybe he will be promoted next year.

This gang of bandits is a headache for the prefect of Fengding Mansion, this time he sent someone to Fengding Mansion quickly, preparing to cooperate with the prefect of Fengding Mansion to take down the remaining bandits in one fell swoop, this is his political achievement.

Thinking of this, he was in a very good mood, brushed his beard, and walked towards the other examination booths in four directions.

As soon as the time came, Gu Chengyu rang the small bell. He had already written it, and he couldn't look left and right while staying in the examination shed, and he didn't want to sleep anymore, and finally when the time came, he wanted to go back to the inn early and have a good rest! Besides, Yu Paralytic must have returned.

Gu Chengyu walked out of the Tribute Courtyard and did not wait outside the door, but went back to the inn directly, and Mingmo, who was sent back, waited outside the Tribute Courtyard.

When he returned to the inn, Yu Paralytic had already returned, and reported to Gu Chengyu that the Yipinzhai in Fucheng had been arranged, only two cooks were left, and when they came, Gu Chengyu had to teach them some pastries.

After all, it is a fucheng, and it is not okay to have fewer types of pastries, and there are many large families here. Gu Chengyu planned to make the cake, and he had already instructed Mingmo to customize the oven before, hoping that the oven would not be too far from his previous life.

With the oven, even other pastries and snacks can be made, and I believe it should be the first in Fucheng.

Then he thought of something, "Thousand! In the past two days, Brother Hua, you should pay attention, if there is anything abnormal, you can come back and tell me. ”

Gu Chengyu thought about it, but still felt that he was not at ease with Gu Wanhua, Gu Wanhua was uncertain and was easily tempted. He planned to wait for the exam to be over, and send Gu Wanhua back first, he still had to stay in Fucheng for a day, and Yipinzhai needed to wait for the opening before he could leave.

"Hey!" Although Gu Wanqian was a little confused, he already knew now, don't ask more, just do what Gu Chengyu explained.

A few copper lamps illuminated the room, and Jiang Zhifu rubbed the corners of his forehead, only to feel that his eyes were a little dry. Pick up the tea bowl, take a sip, and take a short break. Every time the government exams are the busiest, although he is not alone in marking these exam papers, the exam papers of hundreds of people are divided, and one person gets a lot of exam papers.

He felt a little tired, and when he saw it now, he didn't see a dazzling policy theory, some of them were all nonsense, only focusing on writing some gorgeous rhetoric, and there was no real strategy at all, such an article can also be called a policy theory?

After a while, he opened his eyes and continued to look at the next exam paper, and after reading the first one first, he was furious.

"What is this writing? Also increase the collection of agricultural taxes every year? Even if such a person becomes an official, he will only exploit the people, hum! I don't know what to do! ”

He also knows that it is not easy to write a practical strategy this time, after all, the exam questions have been issued in the past dynasties, but as long as the writing is decent, it can be calculated by writing two points, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing, increasing the taxes of the people, isn't that to force the people to make a living?

He didn't read the second article, so he threw this exam paper into the pile that he couldn't do, only the first question, he couldn't pass, and he didn't read the rest of it!

These candidates only sit at home every day and read the books of the sages, and they don't care about the mulberry fields, and they are afraid that they can't even distinguish between seedlings and weeds, how can they think of getting good proposals? Alas!
