Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the time of the spring exam in March, Ye Ming is not far from Qingyun County, so he just went a day in advance, and Li Xiuwen was even less anxious in comparison, and he didn't start preparing until Ye Ming informed him.

The spring exam, also known as the prefectural exam, is an exam conducted by county officials in early March, and students who wish to gain merit can register in their county.

The imperial examination system of the Great Heavenly Dynasty was not the same as that of ancient times, and there were two imperial examinations a year here, divided into spring and autumn.

The spring examination is to obtain the fame of the child and the talent, and the test that is already a child is the show talent, and the show talent can participate in the autumn and take the exam.

And it is already a person, and the one who participates in the autumn examination is the jinshi, and if it is successful, you can participate in the final exam at the end of the year, and the test is the champion, the list eye, and the flower.

Such a system of imperial examinations is very simple and easy to understand at a glance, which is different from the imperial examination system of ancient times on earth, but it is also easy to understand.

Ye Ming and Li Xiuwen are already children, and this time they will naturally show their fame in the spring examination.

In this world, it is also very troublesome to register for the imperial examination, you must fill out the gift room report, write your name, place of origin, age, and three generations of resumes, and obtain the county's guarantee, that is, the guarantee.

However, there are also risks associated with being a guarantor, and if some candidates do something during the exam, then the person who sponsors him will also be implicated.

If you want to be a guarantor, you don't just need to go to the street casually to pull a person, at least you need a person with a certain status, and someone like Father Li, who has influence in the entire Qingyun County, is completely enough, and it is more than enough.

At the same time, those masters in Tianqi Academy in Qingyun County are also okay, especially that Master Li, he is extremely famous among them, and almost all the Confucian students in Qingyun County know him.

The second is that students with meritorious fame are also okay, this fame is easy to say, even if it is a child, but because of the fame, they dare not easily act as a guarantor, after all, if there is an accident, even they will be disqualified from the exam, and it will even affect their future.

Candidates guarantee each other, if they are investigated and punished for falsehood, then the implication as a guarantor is not small, and the worst is a lifetime ban from the examination, and at the least will make him not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for a few years.

If it weren't for the fact that they all knew each other, they generally wouldn't dare to be a guarantor at all, Ye Ming remembered himself in his previous life, and the person who vouched for him seemed to be a son of his father's former friend, which was still a blessing from his father's generation, otherwise it was almost impossible for Ye Ming to find a guarantor at that time.

At that time, that person's son was also the same as Ye Ming, participating in the spring examination of the county, which belonged to the mutual insurance of candidates, but Ye Ming failed at that time, and the guarantor was successful, and now he has already left Qingyun County, and it is said that he was accepted as a student by Tianqi Academy in Tianyun City, as for his autumn situation later, Ye Ming does not know.

Ye Ming and Li Xiuwen came to Qingyun County together, they both came alone, and they were not companions, Ye Ming did not let Ye Ke follow, and Li Xiuwen also did not bring a scholar.

However, both of them are children, and they both have to participate in this spring test at the same time, so they can act as guarantors for each other, but before again, Ye Ming told Li Xiuwen not to know how to play with his brains, otherwise both of them will finish playing.

It's not that he doesn't believe Li Xiuwen, it's really that Li Xiuwen is too frivolous, if it is changed in normal times, it will be forgotten, this time it is for his mother to take the exam, if he ends up disqualified, it is still a trivial matter to look bad on his face, the most important thing is how to explain to his mother.

Li Xiuwen was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Brother, do you think the foolish brother is that kind of person? If I really want to cheat, why wait until today, I would have done it in the previous spring exams, and I wouldn't end up like this, wouldn't I?"

"That's just as well. Ye Ming smiled lightly.

This day is the day of registration for the spring exam, and there are a few more officials at the entrance of the county government than usual, and they all carry sabers around their waists, and it seems that they are particularly concerned about this exam.

At this time, there were also many candidates standing outside the county office, Ye Ming glanced at it casually, there was no existence he knew, but among them, Li Xiuwen knew more people, because most of them were students from Tianqi Academy in this county, and many of them were from private schools, and they all came to participate in the registration of this spring exam.

After a while, a person came out of the county government and shouted at the candidates present: "You can go in, you must not make a loud noise after entering the county office, otherwise you will be disqualified." ”

After the exhortation, the man brought the people into the yamen.

In this courtyard, there are also many officials in it to maintain order, so that they can line up and not crowd.

These candidates came relatively early, and if they waited until the afternoon, I am afraid that it would be overcrowded.

After more than a dozen candidates registered, it was Ye Ming and Li Xiuwen's turn.

Entering it, I saw a few scribes sitting in the room, and there were a few tables and chairs below, those scribes were expressionless, and the elders with horse faces looked directly at the few people who came in, including Ye Ming and Li Xiuwen.

There are no names among the students who enter each registration, and there are also five scribes, which is exactly one-on-one, which is convenient and fast.

They asked the scholar in front of them about their names, ages, resumes of three generations, and whether they were born innocently, and then confirmed whether they were registered in the place of household registration, whether they took the exam in person, and so on.

The results of the questioning were written down in detail by them, and after the questioning, they looked at the appearance and body shape of the person in front of them, and recorded them one by one, and finally asked the candidates to sign their names and press their handprints.

After doing this, it is time to ask about the most important thing, which is the guarantor, and they will also say what is at stake, that is, if someone violates the rules, the guarantor will also be implicated.

Ye Ming naturally guarantees each other with Li Xiuwen, and the other three scholars are also mutually guaranteed, like their joint insurance, the relationship is even more complicated, if one of them violates the rules, the other two will also be punished, but for poor students, it is difficult to find a person with status and status to be a guarantee.

The guarantor also needs to sign his name and fingerprint on the mutual record paper, so that if something really happens, he can be found directly.

After doing this, the scribe handed the students a piece of paper with their personal information on it, and they took the exam at that time, and they were able to enter the examination room.

Soon, the registration ended, but during the inquiry, the scribe who signed up for Li Xiuwen seemed to be a person with some qualifications, he should have experienced several years of scientific reporting, and he would have some impressions of some scholars who had signed up all year round but couldn't pass the exam, including Li Xiuwen.

With the Li family's influence and influence in Qingyun County, it is difficult for people not to remember him, especially since he was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of fifteen, and he has never been in high school in the imperial examination every year, which is even more impressive.

When the scribe saw that it was Li Xiuwen again, his face was a little strange, and then he whispered a word, as if he was muttering, but the room was quiet, and he could hear it even if he was just taking a breath, let alone talking.

The scribe said, "It's you ...... again."

Listening to his tone, there seemed to be some helplessness.

"What do you mean by me again?" Li Xiuwen was even more helpless, he also knew this scribe, and he was the one he met every time he signed up for the imperial examination, but what does this mean, what does it mean to be me again, is it not okay for me to take the exam?

When the other people present heard this, they couldn't help but laugh softly, especially the other three scholars, how could they not hear the meaning of the words, the implication was that the person in front of them was not the first time to participate in the spring exam, and he didn't win every time, which was really pitiful.

However, this is not pitiful in the hearts of other candidates, but any candidate will be their competitor, and you must know that the number of places on the list in each exam is limited.

Although the person in front of him seems to be young, but since he has participated in the spring examination for several years and has not been successful, it seems that he really does not have this talent, thinking of this, he is also a lot more relieved, at least he can already be sure that there is one less competitor.
