The students who referred to it lined up, and they were checked by the officials and allowed to enter. The team moved slowly, and finally it was Du Jinning's turn, and the hearts of Chen and Du Fangfei were raised.

I saw that Du Jinning took the initiative to untie her outer robe, handed it to the official for inspection, and took off a small vest she was wearing inside and gave it to another person, and at this time she was only wearing a white middle coat. Immediately afterwards, she took off the boots that had been uploaded by her feet, and stood on the ground wearing only a snow-white glove.

She is so active, and her expression is very calm and calm, with a frank appearance. In addition, with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, the impression is naturally very good, and at first glance it seems to be the son of a family.

The officials who inspected all came from other counties with the chief examiner's county order, although they didn't know the children of the family in Lishui County, but they could always see some of their demeanor and temperament. Because of the involvement of a large family, those children of the family will not cheat, Du Jinning gave them the illusion of being noble, so during the inspection, they just hastily touched her pocket, glanced at the boots casually, and returned the clothes to her.

Another little clerk who checked the food rummaged through the examination basket, opened the two rolled up pancakes and took a look, and saw that the cakes could transmit light, and it was clear whether there was entrainment in them, so he no longer tore them apart, and put them back directly in the examination basket; looked at the umbrella she brought, pen and ink and other things, and didn't find any pieces of paper, so she waved her hand and motioned for Du Jinning to go in.

"You baked this cake well, I'll do the same when I wait for the government to test." A familiar voice came from behind Du Jinning.

She turned her head to look, but it was Liang Xiankuan.

"Mr. was looking for you just now, why did you come so late?" Du Jinning asked.

Liang Xiankuan smiled embarrassedly: "It's late." ”

Du Jinning raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and he didn't know if he was really so big that he didn't care about the county test, or if it was just an excuse. Seeing that Liang Xiankuan had already begun to untie her clothes, she lifted the examination basket, walked a few steps inside, and stood in front of the gentleman who was the guarantor of the academy.

When Mr. Chef of the Academy, who was the guarantor, saw her and shouted, "Du Jinning, a student of Boyue Academy." Wang is a guarantor. ”

The priest of the other county looked her up and down, bowed slightly, and the other man standing next to him motioned for her to enter.

It wasn't until Du Jinning's figure disappeared into the gate that Chen and Du Fangfei, who were standing outside, breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen thanked Guan Jiaze and the others, and followed Du Fangfei and Xu Chengyuan to Xu's house.

"Let's go, let's go to the teahouse and sit down." Qi Mu is far away.

When they took the county test, Du Jinning would rather wait for them to come out; Today, they will also wait for Du Jinning to come out.

Lishui County is not a rich county, and the literary style is not particularly prosperous. In the county school, there is also one teaching, two teachings, and a few gentlemen. Every year, there are only a dozen or twenty children and talents studying in the county school. Therefore, the area of the county school is not large, but it is a two-entrance courtyard, and both courtyards only have three spacious houses facing south, and the east and west sides are only corridors. There are two entrances to the north building, the first is a courtyard with a cloister, and the second is a hall with a statue of a saint. There is a wing room on each side of the hall, which is a place for gentlemen to rest.

The people who took the exam were all scholars who had accumulated over the years, from teenagers like Du Jinning to old men in their sixties and seventies, and there were almost five or six hundred people of all ages. Naturally, the six houses of the county school could not sit down, and tables were set up in the courtyard and corridor. It's okay when it's not raining, but when it rains, the candidates who take the exam in the courtyard will suffer, and they can only use umbrellas to cover the rain. If the rain wets the exam paper and blurs the ink, you can only consider yourself unlucky and have to wait until the next year to take the exam.

Du Jinning's exam number is Yinzi No. 20. She first looked around the courtyard where she had first entered, and finally found her seat.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

Although I was not lucky, I didn't make it into the house, and the seat was in the hallway, but there was a shelter from the rain overhead. This southern spring day is a doll's face, and it will change, and there is no meteorological bureau at this time, and no one knows if it will rain for a while.

Because there is a huge county test every year, the tables, chairs and benches in the county are fully coordinated. But these tables, chairs and benches are also used again and again, some are really unusable and replaced with new ones, and some can last for a few more years, so there are old and new. Du Jinning's luck in this regard was not very good, and he got mixed up with a bad table.

She did things carefully, first carefully sat down on the stool, moved from side to side, and found that the stool was quite stable. She then reached out and shook the table, but found that the table legs were uneven, so she shook the table like this.

Fortunately, the students of Boyue Academy were the first to be put in, and there was still time to leave the exam at this time. The candidates who came in from the outside one after another were like headless flies, scurrying around looking for their own places, and the seats in the corridor were empty, so they didn't care if they got up and walked around, at least it didn't affect others, Du Jinning left his seat with the test basket.

She walked down the corridor to the end, descended the steps, searched the flowerbed under the cloister, and found two flat stones the size of a fist, and then went back again, and tried both, choosing the one that best fit under the legs.

This time, the table was steady.

She sat down and placed the basket on the table. He took out the inkstone, the brush and the bamboo tube filled with water from the examination basket, and took out two pieces of jade paperweight.

These two pieces of jade paperweight were given to her by Guan Lehe for doing a good job in her article. Although it is not a particularly valuable thing, it has an ancient style, and Du Jinning likes it very much.

Arrange the things one by one, and then she has time to pay attention to others. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that Liang Xiankuan was sitting in the courtyard below, looking up at the sky worriedly.

At this time, it was already past the right hour, equivalent to more than six o'clock in modern times, almost seven o'clock, and the sky that should have gradually brightened was still gray. It looks like it's going to be a cloudy day, maybe it's going to rain lightly.

Alas, how could this man be so unlucky!

Du Jinning hurriedly took a look, but after a while of effort, there were already many people sitting in the corridor. If she wanted to take the umbrella down to Liang Xiankuan by herself, she would have to pass through the seats of countless people. The corridor is not wide, and there are two rows of tables and chairs, and there is a narrow aisle where people can walk, and many people are anxiously looking for seats with examination baskets. She goes out and comes in, and it will cause a lot of trouble.

She looked at the two errand officers who were standing at the steps and arranged for each candidate to take their seats, thought about it, made a trumpet shape with her hands, and whispered, "Senior Brother Liang, Liang Xiankuan." ”
