Chapter 16: The First Examination Is Too Easy

This is the first time Xiao Yijun of Yongqi Academy has come, because there are more people in the first exam today, and he queued up for a while when he entered the city. Xiao Yijun took advantage of this kung fu to look left and right, they were all teenagers on horses, and there were a few sedan chairs.

I remembered that Shangguan Wushuang said before that Yongqi Academy is not limited to men and women, as long as you have talent and want to continue to improve, you can come to the first test under the age of eighteen. Thinking of Shangguan Wushuang, Xiao Yijun subconsciously looked forward, looking for the tall figure.

Sure enough, Shangguan Wushuang was about to enter the city gate, and when he saw Xiao Yijun looking at him, he took the fan and smiled back.

Although Xiao Yijun went out early, after all, the road was far away, and he stopped a few times halfway, and now although he caught up with the first test, he was the last to arrive.

There is a sign erected at the entrance of Yongqi Academy, which reads "Poetry", "Book", "Music" and "Medicine". This preliminary exam is to test one of these four items, and candidates can choose one of them that they are good at.

After receiving the number plate, a small servant will come to take the candidate to the corresponding room.

Xiao Yijun looked around, there were young men standing outside the two rooms of "Poems" and "Books", the line was very long, and after counting carefully, there were more than 30 people in each column. Outside the room marked "Le", there are mostly women, or holding pipa or guqin, and there are many people. Only the room marked "Medicine" was not there anyone outside the door.

Looking at the number plate on the sign, Xiao Yijun looked at it and was happy. "Poems" have been taken more than 1,000 good, "books" have been taken more than 800 numbers, "music" has also been taken more than 200, only "medicine" is still in double digits.

Xiao Yijun herself felt tired from coming from Baiyue City, and talked to Shangguan Wushuang all the way, and now she saw that there was a room where she didn't have to queue up for an interview, and it was the medicine she had studied in her previous life, so she was immediately happy.

Without waiting for Qiushuang to react, he took the twenty-second number of "medicine" and followed the little girl to the door of the corresponding room. No. 22, not bad, this number is good, I am the twenty-second young city lord, not bad.

Qiu Shuang only felt that in the blink of an eye, she didn't know her young city lord. You can take "poetry", "book" or even "music", but I never expected that Xiao Yijun took the brand of "medicine".

But now it's useless to be anxious, Qiu Shuang had no choice but to watch her young city lord walk into the room with the word "medicine" hanging on the door.

Besides, when Xiao Yijun entered the room, the first thing she smelled was the fragrance of medicine, although Xiao Yijun hated taking medicine, but if she prescribed medicine to others, then she was a hundred willing.

I saw an old man with gray hair sitting in the room, who looked to be in his sixties, wearing a dark robe. Behind the old man was a wall full of drawers, and according to Xiao Yijun's experience in the Chinese Medicine Hall in his previous life, those small drawers should be full of medicinal herbs. There was a cup of tea and a teapot in front of the old man, who was lying on the table, seemingly asleep.

The little maid who led her in saw that the examiner seemed to be asleep on the table, and his face was a little embarrassed, and he coughed vigorously a few times and finally woke up the old man.

As soon as the old man woke up, he cried out before he could open his eyes: "What's the matter! Noisy old man sleeping! Is it over? In the middle of speaking, his eyes opened, and he saw a young man standing in front of him, and he immediately cleared his throat and sat upright.

Lifting the teacup that was already cold on the table and about to put it in his mouth, he put it down as soon as he touched his mouth. "Change the hot one!" The old man brushed his hair and muttered, "Now these little guys are not diligent in their work at all." ”

When the little guy who led Xiao Yijun in heard it, he shuddered, quickly picked up the teacup and teapot on the old man's table, and ran out to change the hot tea.

Xiao Yijun looked at all this, and then looked at the old man and felt that it was funny, and the corners of his mouth rose even more. But thinking about this in case it is the teacher who will teach in the future, I can't help but feel a pimple in my heart.

After a while, the tea was changed, and the old man woke up. After taking a few sips of tea, I saw that Xiao Yijun was still standing as when he woke up, and he felt that he was teachable.

The old man opened his mouth and introduced himself as one of the teachers of Yongqi Academy, named Huang Taoyi, in charge of pharmacy. After introducing himself, Huang Taoyi didn't ask Xiao Yijun who he was or what his name was, so he directly took out a few medicinal herbs from the drawer behind him and started the school exam. The exam question is to ask Xiao Yijun to identify at least three of the five flavors of medicinal materials in a stick of incense, and write down the medicinal properties and how to use them.

Xiao Yijun looked at it and was happy. These are the most common Angelica, Polygonum multiflori, safflower, licorice and the uncommon reishi mushroom.

Huang Taoyi turned around to light incense, Xiao Yijun took the five flavors of medicinal materials, sat under Huang Taoyi with a pen and paper, and began to write.

Huang Taoyi saw that this kid didn't look at it and began to write directly, so he was a little curious and a little disdainful, after all, these five flavors of medicinal materials are not from high-ranking officials and nobles, they are all uncommon, not to mention knowing the properties and effects of medicine.

After half a pillar of incense, Xiao Yijun picked up the rice paper and blew it, and respectfully handed the five-flavor medicinal herbs to the table in front of Huang Taoyi.

Seeing that Xiao Yijun finished writing it so quickly, Huang Taoyi was not surprised that it was fake. But he couldn't help but be surprised and took a closer look. Yes, yes, this kid is good, knowledgeable, and it's all written correctly.

After reading it, Huang Taoyi couldn't help but have an appreciative look in his eyes, and said to Xiao Yijun: "Which child are you to study pharmacy so well?" ”

"The student is Xiao Yijun from White Moon City." Xiao Yijun did not say that he was the young city lord of White Moon City, but called himself a student. This move flattered Huang Taoyi even more.

"Young City Lord of White Moon City?" Huang Taoyi stroked his beard, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and before Xiao Yijun could think about it, he continued: "Yes, how about being my student, the old man has not recommended a student over the years, although you have already passed the interview, but if you are recommended, the subsequent interview and re-examination will be better." ”

Xiao Yijun's eyes lit up, he thought for a few seconds, hugged his fists and bowed: "Write more teachers, but Yijun wants to try to see if he can pass these three levels without being recommended." ”

Seeing Xiao Yijun's insistence, Huang Taoyi didn't say anything. It's just a pity that I may not be able to receive a satisfactory disciple this year. But after many years, I'm used to being ridiculed or teased by the other three friends. is just curious, who will have such good luck in the end to have Xiao Yijun as a disciple.

Huang Taoyi waved his hand, and after Xiao Yijun retreated, he was led out of the inner room by the little guy on the side and went to the registration office to register. The person at the registration office took the No. 22 plate of the medicine word in Xiao Yijun's hand, copied something on the paper on the side, and then asked Xiao Yijun's name and place of origin, wrote it down and returned it.
