On the ninth day of August, at the beginning of Yin, the three doors of the Gongyuan were opened at the same time, and Gu Chengyu lined up to enter the examination room.

There are three chief and deputy examiners and 14 examiners in the township examination. The chief examiner is Fang Huai, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, which Gu Chengyu has heard in the past few days, and the two deputy examiners are also officials of the Hanlin Academy.

After Fang Huai personally lit the Zhongmen cannon, Gu Chengyu lined up and prepared to be inspected. This inspection was much stricter than before. The autumn morning was cold, Gu Chengyu was wearing three single clothes, and he was stepping on single shoes.

Even the test baskets are only allowed to be made of bamboo or wicker, and the test baskets that were bought before on the street are all exquisite, with the same bottom surface. The small vendors are already very familiar with the test baskets for the exam, and they are this style every year, and they have to sell them until they are out of stock, making a lot of money.

Gu Chengyu filled some food in the examination basket, that is, some jerky and steamed buns, he had already asked the store to cut the steamed buns into small slices in advance, and he had to save the messenger to help him cut them with their big knives, and the big knives didn't know what he had done, he was still dirty!

The township test is already able to bring its own food, and of course the examination room will also provide it, but you have to spend money to buy it yourself. Gu Chengyu only brought food for two days, after all, in this kind of weather, it would be spoiled if he brought too much.

Suddenly, when it was the turn of the candidate in front of him, the scene was chaotic. Originally, it was normal to take off clothes, because it was necessary to check to prevent entrainment of cheat sheets, and the student was not uncooperative, and after he took off his single clothes, the messenger said that he would also check his shoes.

The candidate didn't hesitate, he took off his shoes and handed them to the officer. The officer glanced left and right a few times, endured the stench, rummaged through, and returned it to the examinee if he felt that there was nothing abnormal. Who thought that things were so unfortunate, I didn't pay attention when I gave it, and all of a sudden my shoes fell to the ground.

That's when something happened, probably hitting the heel of the shoe.

I saw a drawer the size of a matchbox slip out of the heel of my shoe, and inside the drawer was a small book. The book was really small, and when the officer saw this, he immediately called the other officers over.

He opened the small book, and Gu Chengyu, with his night vision, saw that the paper was as thin as a cicada's wings, and the folded paper was about smaller than a matchbox! Gu Chengyu glanced at it, and it read "Preparing for the Four Books of Enlargement".

Needless to say, this must be cheating, such a small book, it must be written with rat whiskers, otherwise it would not have been written at all.

"This, it's not my thing!" As soon as the candidate saw the small box popping open at the heel, he knew that he was finished. However, he still had a fluke mentality and thought about quibbling.

"Whoever fell out of your shoes, not yours, whose own? Quick, take him down! The officer called two other people to hold the student down and drag him out.

"I didn't, what a wrong! It's not mine, you let me go! The examinee was dragged away, struggling, and shouting that he had been wronged.

But before he could shout twice, he was gagged by the messenger with his foot socks, and the students also boiled.

"It's all found in his shoes, who is it that isn't his? What a boldness! ”

"Not necessarily, who knows what it will be? Or maybe someone else did it on purpose? I don't think he's acting like he's trying to cheat. ”

Gu Chengyu listened to the discussion of the candidate in front of him, and also felt sorry for that candidate. Regardless of whether he was framed or not, I'm afraid that Xiucai's reputation will not be saved.

It was also his bad luck that he was already about to finish the inspection, but who knew that the shoes would fall to the ground and be smashed on the heels? Thinking about it this way, Gu Chengyu felt that it was more likely that he would cheat by himself, after all, if the heel of his shoe hadn't just hit the ground, the pamphlet wouldn't have bounced out!

I really didn't expect cheating, no matter what generation it is! It's okay now, not to mention the fame of Xiucai, you have to be assigned to the army.

"The last general is here to advise you, don't ruin your future! What to do, you know! At this time, an errand officer shouted such words, and Gu Chengyu was very surprised.

Then, Gu Chengyu saw that the candidates in front of him were struggling and didn't know what to do, some were bending over, and some were doing some strange postures, he suddenly realized and looked at the ground.

At this time, there were already a few small notes on the ground out of thin air, and it seemed that these were cheat sheets made by the candidates who tried to fool the past.

Gu Chengyu was simply dumbfounded, there were really so many people who wanted to challenge the authority of the imperial examination?

It didn't take long for Gu Chengyu's turn to come. Gu Chengyu took off all three single clothes, took off his pants and shoes and socks, and stood naked in front of the officer.

This made him feel shy, although there was a cloth next to him, but the cloth could barely cover a key part, which was also afraid that the candidate would have any private contact with the officer.

The errand officer glanced at Gu Chengyu, who had red lips and white teeth, and then looked at his fair body, glanced down with his eyes, and pulled the corners of his mouth at the resume of the opponent.

The smile on Gu Chengyu's face froze, what does this mean? He's still a baby, okay?

Another messenger looked through Gu Chengyu's clothes one by one, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, before returning them to Gu Chengyu. As soon as Gu Chengyu took the clothes, he hurriedly put them on.

"Untie your hair!" Gu Chengyu did as he said, because he was afraid that he would hide a cheat sheet in his hair. He untied the hair band and handed it to the officer, who confirmed it before handing it back.

There was also an errand officer next to him who was inspecting the examination basket, and after inspecting the four treasures of the study in the examination basket in detail, he looked at the steamed buns and dried meat, and saw that they had been cut into slices. However, he still poked a few times with a knife, looked at the chopped steamed buns and jerky, and found no entrainment, so he let Gu Chengyu enter the examination room.

Gu Chengyu really didn't feel the entrainment before the exam, fortunately it was autumn, and it was not too cold in the morning. Wait for spring, that's called fatal! If you take off your clothes, you can freeze to death.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the number seat he drew in his hand, it was the eighth number of Xuanzi, and he searched for a while before he found his number in a corner of the second row. Looking around, it's okay, although it's a little close to the clean room, but it's not next to each other after all, and there are two rooms in the back!

He couldn't help but be glad that his luck had been good, otherwise he would have vomited for three days and two nights.

I walked into the dormitory, put the test basket on the bed board, and first observed the environment of the dormitory. I looked at the roof above and found that it was intact, so I was probably not afraid of rain. In the small dormitory was a hardwood bed with only a mat and a quilt on it. A small red stove is placed on the left, which is for the candidates to eat hot meals.

Look at it again, there is a lantern, and although the lighting is not very clear at night, it is barely visible.

Gu Chengyu took out a handkerchief and wiped the table board and stool clean. He took out the food in the examination basket and put it on the bed board first, and then took out the four treasures of the study.

This room is different from the previous exams, this room has a door, and a small window has opened on it, facing the table, so that light can come in. It's just that after everyone has arrived, the house will be locked, and it will not be opened until the toilet is pulled and the bell is pulled.

With such a small house, it would definitely be aggrieved to stay with people for a long time, so Gu Chengyu decided to finish it as quickly as possible and leave the house.
