Chapter 52

"Old man Wei!! Hey! Don't lie in our bed! As soon as he returned to the room, Mo Wei saw that the old man with pale hair was already lying on the bed and fell asleep, and kicked the bed with his foot.

"Ahh Are you back? The old man was startled and sat up.

As soon as they heard the old man's voice, Sheng Linyun and Mo Wei reacted instantly, and the two of them exclaimed at the same time, "My God!" Are you Han Ai? ”

"Hey, hey!" Han Ai was a little proud, twisting his neck to show his new look.

"Thirteen Niang is really good at disguise? Originally, I just wanted her to give you a simple makeup! Sheng Linyun's surprised eyes wandered across Han Ai's face.

"I almost didn't recognize myself after the painting, hehe! I guess my grandfather and my father can't recognize it! Han Ai smiled happily, and suddenly stopped, "Hey~ My face, I can't laugh, I'm afraid of stretching!" ”

"How are the three of them sleeping tonight?" Mo Wei looked at the cramped bed and complained, which made Han Ai very embarrassed.

"Brother, you sleep with Han Ai, I'll go find Yang Zongsheng and them, and by the way, call the fat man and the six masters together to discuss joining the army tomorrow" Mo Wei finished speaking and went out of the room.

"Linyun, I'm so sorry" Han Ai had an apologetic look on his face.

"It's okay, let's sleep, let's sleep" Sheng Linyun finished speaking and was about to lift the quilt, but was pressed by Han Ai, and the two stared at each other awkwardly!

Looking at the clothes on the stool on the side, Sheng Linyun asked tentatively, "You... Stripped naked? ”

A red light appeared on Han Ai's face, "I'm used to sleeping at home, you go out first, I'll put it on!" ”

"Exquisite!" Sheng Linyun gave a thumbs up and walked out.

Early in the morning, the sun is rising, coupled with scholars and merchants from all over the country, Chang'an City is particularly lively, Taoli Courtyard is already crowded with people outside the courtyard, Taoli Courtyard has a total of ten gates, meaning perfect, the candidates lined up in ten long queues waiting for inspection, except for clothing and food, nothing else can be brought into the examination room, Sheng Linyun and Han Ai stood together to form a sharp contrast, Sheng Linyun was light and light, and Han Ai was very anxious for fear of being recognized during the inspection, as the team moved forward more and more, it was soon Han Ai's turn.

"Name! Address, and your township test voucher to take out" The examiner sat on the chair and asked Han Ai what he needed to provide.

"Ai... Mugwort... Ai Qing! Willow... City people, this is my credential! Han Ai was so nervous that he couldn't speak, his palms had already begun to break out in a cold sweat, and after handing out the voucher, the examiner looked at it carefully.

"Lord Yin's chapter! Han Yushi did mention that the old handwritten letter of the Dragon Pavilion can also be counted," the examiner first saw Yin Zhifeng's seal, then looked at Han Ai, and muttered in his heart, "It's a pity that it's a stammer, and the voice is weird!" He shouted to the examiner who checked the register, "Aki-sama!" Liucheng County, can Ai Qing be registered before? ”

An examiner sitting in the peach and plum orchard immediately asked the people below to start checking, and more than 20 examiners cooperated in an orderly manner, from the registration of the verification voucher to the identity inquiry.

"Lord Xia, the identity is correct, but why is this student's name on the title page?" An examiner hurriedly ran over and knelt down in the ear of the examiner who was examining Han Ai.

"Maybe someone from above arranged it! Release, release! The two examiners whispered and talked, which made Han Ai's heart rise to his throat.

"You..." The examiner suddenly sniffed, and his expression suddenly became serious, "Ah Qiu~ Let's go in" This sneeze almost didn't knock Han Ai's heart out, Han Ai hurriedly walked in for fear of asking anything more.

When it was Sheng Linyun's turn, the examiner checked his voucher and muttered, "This Lord Yin was demoted to Luzhou, and he actually did such a business!" Then he let Sheng Linyun in.

In the Taoli Courtyard, from the moment of entering the courtyard gate, it is like entering a small basin area, the middle of the area is concave in the horizon, showing a huge square square, the square is lined up with the number of candidates for the imperial examination, the horizontal and vertical are more than 100 numbers, neat and orderly, each room is about six feet long and about three feet wide, the house is fully equipped, enough to meet the needs of candidates to eat, drink and Lazar in it, and the square is surrounded by buildings higher than the horizon, and the examiners can see the candidates' rooms clearly on it.

"I don't know how many times I've been here since I was a child, but this time I'm deeply tormented" Han Ai is now waiting with Sheng Linyun for the opening of the dragon gate of the examination room, which is the entrance to the middle square.

"I'm so excited!" Sheng Linyun is now on the square, looking at this place that has changed the fate of many people like torches.

"Yes! I've been longing for this place since I was a kid! Affected by Sheng Linyun, Han Ai also felt his blood boiling, "Drinking ice for ten years, it's hard to cool the blood!" ”

With the passage of time, the inspection outside the peach and plum orchard has been completed, and the candidates are waiting for the dragon gate to open in an orderly manner around the entire examination room.

"The dragon gate is open!" With a shout, the candidates swarmed in, crossing the dragon gate from four directions, the scene can be described as spectacular, and the examiners standing on it condoled each other for the hard work of the next few days, such a scene is not every year.

After all the candidates were seated, the guards began to distribute pen and paper, and some daily utensils, and by the way, they inspected the status of the candidates, and those who were found to be suspicious would be targeted and interrogated.

"What's in your basket?" A guard discovers something hidden in a candidate's basket.

"I'm a sweet steamed bun," the candidate replied.

"When it's time to eat, there will naturally be a distribution in the examination room, why do you bring it yourself," the guard asked again.

"I like to eat sweet steamed buns, I can't get used to them in the examination room!" Candidates answer whatever they are asked and do not dare to speak much.

"Take it! You take every bite! The guard picked up a steamed bun and handed it to the candidate, his tone was ordinary but resolute, if the candidate didn't eat it, he would be in trouble.

"Good!" The candidate took a bite of the steamed bun and ate it slowly, and when he suddenly ate a steamed bun, he swallowed it in a big gulp, and the guard watched him take a bite before leaving, during which the candidate did not dare to show a trace of unhappiness on his face, until the guard walked away, he wiped his mouth, spit out something from his mouth, and instantly hid it in his sleeve "almost exposed".

"You... What do you bring rice for? One of the candidates was questioned by the guards again.

"Hey, hey! My lord, I have stomach problems, I have to drink porridge, there is only white rice in the examination room, it's convenient~" The candidate accompanied the smiling face, and handed the rice out automatically by the way.

The guard took the rice bag, took out a handful of rice from it, rubbed it on his hands, and found that it was indeed real rice and returned it.

"You! Why bring a hen in! The guard asked a candidate with a hen in his arms.

"Back to the adult, the villain has an egg a day since he was a child, he can't quit, he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't eat it, and he is afraid of breaking the dirty paper with the eggs, thinking about eating freshly born, hehe" The candidate said and stuffed a silver into the guard's hand, "Adult, the villain will not disturb the examination room." ”

"I don't mean anything else, there are still people coming in with roast chickens over there, take care of your live chickens, don't fly around when the time comes" The guard secretly bit the silver and turned around to continue to investigate.

There are all kinds of talents in the examination room, and there are not a few people who steal chickens and dogs and are found out and bombed out, and this bomb can be bombed into the prison, and then come out after a few years of labor, although it has avoided conscription, but it has also canceled the lifelong examination power, of course, some people naturally feel that it is best to keep their lives.

"The royal test begins! Distribute exam papers! With another shout, the guards began to distribute the examination papers to the 10,000 candidates present, and several examiners sat on the shore of the examination room and exchanged ears.

"Why didn't the emperor show up?"

"This imperial test was approved by the emperor, and the old man thought that the emperor would personally supervise it! I didn't expect to even watch the opening. ”

"I asked Gonggong Cao, and his old man said that the emperor left the palace early in the morning, but he didn't know what to do!"

"What's more important than a royal exam? Could it be... Oh! Old confused, today is the last day of conscription, and the emperor must have gone to the Qingsong Camp outside Chang'an City, so as to boost the morale of the new army! ”

"Oh! Yeah! Several other examiners chimed in.

In a number room, Xu Shangao looked at the exam papers distributed and fell into deep thought

"I didn't expect that the trick sold by the half-immortal was real, the core of the paper on the first day was not wrong at all, several questions were all around the way of the monarch and minister, presumably the paper except for the bag was the answer to the exam questions. Did you leak the question? What a disappointment! But maybe I'll be more accurate! Xu Shangao muttered to himself, writing his name and article on the exam paper.

All the candidates slowly got into the state, and the first day of the exam kicked off.

Outside Chang'an City, Mo is different, An Fatzi, the Yang brothers and the six masters have really successfully entered the Qingsong Camp and are changing into military uniforms in the tent.

"I'm so sleepy! Boss, I want to get some sleep right now! Fat Man Ann changed his clothes and sat on the ground, his eyelids jumped, and he was almost pasted.

The two Yang brothers drew a map all night, and they didn't have any energy, so they collapsed directly on the ground and fell asleep, and the six masters were sitting and meditating, and they couldn't see a trace of tiredness on their faces.

"Hey! How many of you are lazy here? At this time, a soldier came in, kicked Mo Wei, who was lying on the ground, and pointed to everyone, "There are still many things to move outside!" In the next few days, you recruits still have to sort out supplies, you are in this state, get out of here as soon as possible! ”

An Fat Man was excited, and immediately stood up and patted Mo differently, "Boss!" Top dog! Get up and get to work! ”

Yang Zongsheng immediately walked up, "This big brother, we ran all the way last night, in order to catch up with the last enlistment this morning, so we are a little sleepy now!" ”

"Okay, okay, I don't mean anything else, it's not good for you to be seen from above, I think you're a strong kid, you're being selected outside, you can try it later, maybe you can be a husband or something." The soldier pinched Yang Zongsheng's shoulder, patted him, and then went to the side to get a few sets of clothes and went out.

"Husband?" Yang Zongsheng thought for a few seconds, and immediately squatted beside Mo Wei, "Boss!" Top dog! I remembered that there is a challenge qualification within three days of enlistment, you better try it, it's absolutely no problem to mix up a centurion. ”

"Don't make noise! Don't be noisy! Mo Wei slapped Yang Zongsheng's hand on his body and continued to sleep.
