Master Bao regarded Bao Cheng as nothing, so he didn't notice that he was wandering, first asked the little guy to close the door and window, and then took out two letters-like things from his sleeve, handed them to Bao Chi and Bao Cheng respectively, and said in a deep voice: "The things here, you two must carefully study and answer by heart, and then burn them, and don't spread them." ”

Bao Chi seemed to have known about this for a long time, carefully put away the letter, nodded and said, "Yes, son remember." ”

Bao Cheng was still a little confused, pinched the thin letter, there seemed to be only one or two pages in it, and he asked blankly: "Father, what is here?" ”

Hearing this, Master Bao wanted to jump up and slap Bao Cheng twice to wake up this stupid thing.

He pressed and pressed before he suppressed the anger, and said impatiently: "Take it back and look at it, you will know, ask so much what to do, can Lao Tzu still kill you?" ”

Bao Cheng said "oh", pursed his lips, and slandered in his heart, it's not that he hasn't been killed, how the real Bao Ergongzi died in the past, God knows, many people know.

He saw that Master Bao couldn't stand him anymore, and felt that it would be plain to scold him if he sat down again, so he stood up and arched his hand, and said perfunctorily: "Father, if there is nothing else, the son will retire first." ”

Master Bao waved his hand, with a look of disgust, and he was just about to pick people up.

Walking out of the courtyard of the main house, Bao Cheng stood in the sunlight for a moment before walking towards his yard with his hands on his back.

He thought that the cheap brother would talk to the cheap daddy for a long time, but he just walked a few steps, and the cheap brother called him all the way to catch up, he turned around and raised his eyebrows, his cheap brother was born extremely white, and he ran outside in the summer, and he couldn't tan.

He sometimes wonders if it was when he was in his mother's womb that this cheap brother sucked up all the white purity of the real Bao Cheng, which created the current black and non-slippery Bao Cheng.

He looked at Bao Chi coming over, his face was full of disgust for this younger brother, he pursed his lips, and he didn't have his brother's respectful attitude towards his brother, and said lazily: "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Bao Chi looked arrogant, and looked high, with a dustless appearance under his eyes: "What my father just handed over to you was a heavy money to get, and it was originally given to me alone, but you and I are brothers, one is prosperous and one is lost, I hope you will carefully study and memorize the answers after you go back, don't lose the face and name of my Bao family." ”

Bao Cheng laughed dryly twice, and mocked: "If I don't study well, I will lose the name of the Bao family, brother, if you sleep with the girl in the house, won't you lose the face of the Bao family?" ”

"You!!" Bao Chi's face suddenly turned red, and he pointed at Bao Cheng and scolded angrily: "I'll sleep with my girl, do your." ”

Bao Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Then I don't know how to learn, and I'm doing my brother's." ”

Bao Chi suddenly staggered in anger, threw down his sleeves and turned his head to walk.

Bao Cheng chased after him with a smile: "Brother, it's time for the exam, let's sleep less girls, be careful of excessive indulgence and hand trembling." ”

After taunting Bao Chi, Bao Cheng was in a good mood, and when he walked into his narrow and small yard, he had a smile on his face.

His usual servant greeted him, put hot water on him to clean his hands and face, and served hot tea before he smiled and said, "The second master is back, but is there any happy event, so happy." ”

This little guy was the original Bao Cheng After he was seriously ill and came back to life, Master Bao came with his fingers, and those who served in the past were all there

The human tooth was sold, and the child in front of him was still less than ten years old when he came, Bao Cheng felt sorry for him, or Bao Cheng, who had crossed over from the new society, was not used to being served by others, so he was not used to being served, so he was never allowed to serve closely, just did some work to clean the courtyard and serve tea and water.

After three years, the courtyard of this master and servant was also very quiet.

Bao Cheng smiled and said: "If there is no happy event, the master can't be happy?" ”

The little guy smiled, took an exam basket from the side, took out the things in it one by one and put them on the bookcase, and said: "Second master, this is a small preparation, the second master will see if it is suitable for use, it looks like it is about to end, but you can't eat with a short pen." ”

Bao Cheng's heart warmed, looking at the young face that was only thirteen years old, thinking about what he was doing when he was thirteen years old in his previous life?

Saving money for breakfast and playing games in an Internet café? Or do you either sleep or read idle books during class?

He felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

It was a past life that you can't go back to.

He checked the things used for the preparation one by one, and he also inquired in advance, when entering the tribute court, the candidates had to strip off and be searched by the forbidden army, and this kind of search was so strict that even the hair bun had to be spread out and carefully checked.

In the Gongyuan, only a very small test number and three candles were provided.

How small is the test number, Bao Cheng searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and it was about equal to two or three squares in his previous life.

The provincial test is a nine-day test, the first day of entry, the next day of appearance, the next day of the second test, and so on.

That is to say, all the food, clothing, sitting and lying needs in the test number must be prepared by the candidates themselves.

He checked what the little maid had prepared for him, and at the same time remembered the rules he had inquired about.

Clothes can only be single-layered, the bedding can be directly made of elastic cotton, it is best to bring a hammer and a cloth curtain, and hang it at the door of the exam number at night.

Pen and ink inkstones must be prepared, and paper is never allowed to be brought to the tribute institute, not only paper, but all things with words cannot be brought to the tribute institute.

He saw that the things prepared by the little maid were in accordance with the rules, and he also brought Hu cakes that were easy to preserve, as well as a pack of Qibao tea.

Bao Cheng drank this kind of tea, which is somewhat similar to the black sesame paste in his previous life, except that there are more tea leaves and ginger, red beans and glutinous rice, and it is salty.

He was a little unaccustomed to drinking, but this thing was hungry, and with flax cakes, it was really a must-have for the imperial examination.

But the thought of having to stay in the same exam number as a cell for nine days, and then seeing this salty Qibao tea, he was not so difficult to accept.

The little guy held the bag of Qibao tea, and said with a smile like a treasure: "The villain knows that the second master is not used to drinking salty, so he didn't put salt, put sugar, and removed the ginger in it, and it was wrapped into a small bag. ”

Bao Cheng suddenly felt that this child was very intimate, and nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll write it down, it's hard for you to be loyal." ”

The little girl smiled even more happily, took out something from the examination basket, and said, "Second master, this is a toilet chip, you must bring it well, the Gongyuan is not allowed to bring paper in." ”

Bao Cheng choked up, it was hard to accept wiping his butt with this thing, he nodded with difficulty: "Okay, you go out first, I'll sleep for a while, and then call me when I have lunch." ”

The little guy knows it's coming to an end, yes

After resting, he had the energy to answer, and nodded again and again: "Okay, then the villain will go to the big kitchen to see what to eat for lunch, second master, you can rest." ”

After the little servant left, Bao Cheng closed the doors and windows, jumped on the bed and put down the curtain, the letter in the mysterious place.

After tearing open the seal, two pieces of thin paper fell out of it, and the words were densely written on them, which was a very standard fly-headed small letter, slightly hasty and messy.

Bao Cheng suddenly had two big heads, and he was dazzled when he looked at it.

These are like mung beans, what is written.

He closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously.

You can't look at it anymore, and if you look at it again, it will be cross-eyed.

He threw the two pieces of paper aside nonchalantly, and closed his eyes with his arms on his pillow.

The moment I closed my eyes, the mung bean-like words on the paper jumped out of my mind.

Although he recognized most of them, when they came together, he didn't understand what the words meant.

However, this thing was given to him so solemnly by the cheap father, and said that it was a heavy request, and asked him to study and memorize the answers, and finally burned it.

It's going to be over in two days, what will this thing be?

The answer was immediately apparent.

Bao Cheng came to his senses, folded the two pieces of paper and hid them close to his body, but in a blink of an eye, the cold sweat had already soaked his clothes.

Before he crossed over, although his grades were not good and he did not study history well, he still knew that cheating in the imperial examination in ancient times and cheating in the college entrance examination in his previous life were completely different things.

One is to raid the house and destroy the door and lose his head, and the other is to be disqualified and imprisoned.

His face changed, and he pinched the placket of his shirt tremblingly.

This is a hot potato, he is now a member of the Bao family, if something happens to the Bao family, he can't pick it cleanly if he wants to.

He pondered for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh and thought of someone who could save his life.

He jumped down, put on his coat, tied his hair back in a bun, and walked out.

This time he learned wisely, and instead of leaving the house through the side door, he walked down the corner gate that people often walked.

He stopped a donkey cart at random on the side of the street, and urged him to rush to Jingzhao Mansion, and when he arrived, it was the hour of lunch, and in front of the Jingzhao Mansion Office, there was only a hungry and sleepy servant, and at first glance he was a new stunned young man.

Bao Cheng hurriedly saluted, handed over a piece of broken silver, and said politely: "Brother Lao is tired of spreading the word, and I ask to see Yao join the army in my later life." ”

The official lowered his eyelids and glanced at Bao Cheng carelessly.

Seeing that his dark face was full of poverty and acid, he naturally felt sluggish in his heart, checked the silver, and found that the silver was enough for one or two, so he said, "Wait." ”

Bao Cheng stood in the sun, counted and counted the mane on the stone lion's body, and counted the green bricks on the ground after counting, and his mouth was dry, and he didn't wait for the official who passed the word.

He secretly slandered to himself, this era is just not good, he doesn't even have a mobile phone, it's too inconvenient.

Just thinking about it, a simple voice came from his ear: "Bao Gongzi? ”

Bao Cheng raised his head and immediately smiled: "He Zhutou, you are here, go to handle the case?" ”

He Denglou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, nodded with a smile, and looked at Bao Cheng suspiciously: "Why is Bao Gongzi standing here, why don't you go in?" ”
