Fang Shaohua walked with the two of them for a while, and when they were far away, he asked Du Jinning: "What happened just now?" Have you sinned against them? ”

There is nothing that can't be said to people about this, so Du Jinning told them about their refusal to invite Qi Siyu to participate in the poetry meeting.

Fang Shaohua is a bit funny not to look at his temperament, but as the second generation of officials, there is still no shortage of political acumen, and he broke the truth in one sentence: "He asked you to carry a sedan chair for him." Why is this person so shameless? ”

Du Jinning patted him on the shoulder: "That's good, I can see through him at a glance." Boy, there is a future. ”

At this time, they had already arrived at the agreed place, and when Guan Jiaze saw them coming, he immediately complained: "Du Jinning, why did you come?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Come on, I don't know about you yet? Are you that hardworking? You won't get out of bed until the last minute. If your yard hadn't been near us, you'd have come later than we did. Du Jinning pierced him mercilessly.

This kind of family will have people participate in the scientific expedition every year or every two years, so there are houses near Fuxue and Gongyuan. The Guan family is naturally no exception. And because they bought it early, whether it is a Guan house or a Qi house, it is closer to the tribute courtyard than Du Jinning's.

"Alas, it's hard to dismantle it." Guan Jiaze wailed.

Fang Shaohua asked curiously, "What do you mean by this?" From what canon? ”

Guan Jiaze pointed at Du Jinning: "From his mouth." And he explained the meaning of the words.

At this time, Xu Chengyuan, who lived in the county hall, also arrived.

"Where's Liang Xiankuan?" Du Jinning asked worriedly.

Whether it is the county test or the government test, Liang Xiankuan's family has a demon moth, and she is really worried that Liang Xiankuan will not be able to arrive on time this time.

"I'm here." A voice came from behind the crowd.

It turned out that Liang Xiankuan had arrived a long time ago, and at this time he was being pestered by a student to ask about things, so he didn't come over.

Du Jinning glanced at him, and when he saw that he was neatly dressed and full of energy, he put his mind at ease.

The time passed quickly. As soon as the hour arrived, the cloud board and the gong sounded one after another, and an official shouted at the door: "Enter." ”

Everyone closed their mouths, looked at the entrance of the tribute courtyard, and listened to the soldiers shouting the name of the county with their ears pricked up.

This time, I didn't enter the exam in the order of big and small counties, but I entered in a disruptive way.

The first one is Shou County.

Du Jinning's eyes were firmly fixed on the entrance door. The college examination is the first big exam in a certain sense, and she is afraid that the inspection will be stricter than the county examination and the prefecture.

But it was a little far away, and there was someone in the middle to cover it, so she couldn't see it very clearly. I only felt that the speed of the candidate's entry was not slow, and I guessed that the inspection would not be too careful.

When it was Lishui County's turn to enter, she deliberately lined up at the back, observed nearby, and made sure that although it was slightly stricter than the county test and the government test, she didn't ask everyone to take off their clothes for inspection, and the soldiers didn't touch the candidates, so she was relieved.

When it was Du Jinning's turn, the soldiers looked at the layers of clothes she had taken off, frowned and asked her, "What are you doing with so many clothes?" ”

Fang Shaohua lined up behind her because he was talking to her, looking at Du Jinning's thick and thin three-layer coat that he had taken off, and then looked back at Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan who were also wearing thick clothes, even if they were sweating on their foreheads, they were reluctant to put them on, and they were very speechless.

It's the beginning of August, the hottest time in the south. He wished he had to wear only a sleeveless single coat, and these people even put so many layers on the outside of their underwear. What does that mean?

"I'm frail and afraid of the cold." Du Jinning looked timid.

In this way, Fang Shaohua was even more speechless.

The soldiers looked at Du Jinning and found that she was indeed quite thin, although her lips were red and her teeth were white, she did not look like she was sick and frail, but she was wearing a lot, and he checked the clothes inside and out, and there was nothing special about it.

And the things Du Jinning brought were still strange.

For example, two pieces of cloth were placed in the examination basket, one burlap and one muslin. Worried about what she had written a cheat sheet on the cloth, the soldier also put two pieces of cloth in the water and soaked them. Naturally, there are no words on the cloth.

In the end, he took a few gray-green incense sticks made by Du Jinning and looked at them, frowned and said, "There are mosquito coils in it, you don't have to bring them in." ”

"I'm better at this, I'm going to bring it." Du Jinning's attitude is very persistent. This guy has taken two exams, and he knows that these soldiers or errand soldiers don't dare to do anything to them, and his courage is much fatter, and he dares to reason with the soldiers.

Fang Shaohua stood behind and looked at these things, and then looked back to see that Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze were also carrying the same things in their hands, and their expressions were even more strange.

The soldier also saw that Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze were exactly the same things in the basket, and his expression was a little irritable.

These things are not forbidden, but they always make him feel weird.

"What's going on?" A man walked over and asked.

When the soldier saw him, he smiled and told him what had happened.

The man looked at Du Jinning and asked, "Are you Du Jinning, the head of the government?" ”

Du Jinning has a good memory and recognized this person at a glance. This person is a subordinate of Zhao Liang, a scholar of academic politics, and she had met this person when she visited Xuezheng after the government examination.

"Exactly." She hurriedly bowed.

"Is there something wrong with these things?" The man asked the soldier.

"No problem, no problem." As soon as he heard that Du Jinning was the head of the government, the soldiers hurriedly shook their heads. It's fine, it's just that I wore two extra layers of clothes and brought some weird things. The head of the house, I don't think I will take a big risk to cheat, just to do a better job in the exam, right?

"No problem, just hurry up, there are quite a few people behind."

The soldier made a gesture to Du Jinning to invite in.

"Thank you." Du Jinning put on his clothes layer by layer, arched his hand to thank the two, and entered the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

Since Du Jinning's line was released, although Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan were not as weak as her, they were also released because their clothes and things were not checked.

The gate of the Gongyuan was not allowed to stay, Du Jinning did not wait for them, and was guaranteed by the three Liao Shan students, she got her exam number plate and quickly walked in.

Because the test papers of the hospital examination are sealed, there is no special treatment for the head of the government and the county. Candidates are required to take their seats according to the numbers drawn. And this test number is different from the county test and the government test, it is arranged according to the thousand-character text, and the small mark on it is "east" or "west". A thousand test houses, corresponding to a thousand words, are simply not too suitable, Du Jinning has to admire the brain of the person who set this test number.

The test plate Du Jinning got had the word "Yao" written on it, and a small "West" was written on it, so she knew that it was the test house behind the west. Without delay, I walked all the way to the west, and I saw rows of exam numbers standing opposite each other, leaving a corridor between each two rows that only allowed two people to walk side by side.

She looked at the number in her hand, and then looked at the number marked on it, and her face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd face.
