Chapter 154: The government examination begins

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, tomorrow is the day of the opening of the government examination, this afternoon, Jiang Yun opened the door, the courtyard was quiet, those mountain people and the old man Ye didn't know where to go, he didn't care much, he went out of the inn, went to the Fuxue Palace in the east of the city, this afternoon the Fuxue Palace opened, he planned to take a look at the examination room.

Along the way, through the streets, through the city, to the east of the city to the Fuxue Palace. The buildings in this area are similar to those in Linshui County, with Confucian Temple, School Palace, Mansion and City God Temple arranged in sequence, but the scale is larger.

When I came to the gate of the school palace, I saw that the examination room had been arranged, the gate was wide open, and many scholars wearing square scarves and scribe shirts came in and out, all of whom were candidates who were going to take the government examination.

There are a total of 500 candidates in Qingling Mansion, and they are still divided into eight examination rooms, but the seating order of the examination room is not completely random, but there are rules.

The No. A examination room, that is, the examination room where the chief examiner and the prefect personally sit, is located in the lobby of the school palace, and those who can sit here for the exam are the top ten candidates in each county and county examination, and they can't buy seats here even if they have money and connections.

If you take the exam under the nose of the examiner, the prefect, of course, you can get a little light, and the general acceptance rate will be much higher than that of other examination rooms.

Jiang Yun ranked last in the county examination, there is no doubt that not only did the No. A examination room have no chance, but even the better examination rooms of B, C and D will definitely not be available, and his seat can only be ranked in the back of the four examination rooms.

So after entering the school palace, he went straight to these four temporary examination shed areas built in the open air in the square outside, and tomorrow he will answer the test sheet in these four examination shed areas. It's just that I don't know exactly which one it is.

Walk along the cloister and pass by the No. A examination room in the lobby of the school palace. Seeing that many candidates inside were also there to look at the examination room, the candidates passing by looked at these people. All showed envy, obviously, the candidates who watched the examination room here are undoubtedly the top ten talents in each county and county examination, and the examination is under the nose of the chief examiner, the prefect, as long as there is no big leakage, the probability of being admitted is very high, at least under the same conditions.

Jiang Yun hurriedly glanced towards the examination room and didn't look too much. Then I went straight to the square outside to see a few temporary open-air examination booth areas.

In fact, there is nothing to see, I slipped around and became familiar with the approximate location of several examination shed areas, so that I will not be anxious to enter tomorrow and not find a seat.

Like him, there are many candidates in the examination room, most of them are fresh faces, and there are candidates from the eight counties of Qingling Prefecture, and they don't know each other.

But after a big turn, he really saw a few familiar faces. It's all from Qinghe Academy, including that Zhong Dayong. However, when these Qinghe Academy classmates saw him from afar, they avoided him, as if they were avoiding the plague god.

It's the clock that is very useful. It is also rare that he did not come forward to provoke and stay away, and now is the time for him to ask for progress. How can you be in the company of such a notorious person and be seen. That is also a loss of identity and a reduction of the person. It's really not worth it.

After taking a long turn in these examination rooms and getting roughly familiar with the location of the examination area, Jiang Yun didn't plan to stay here for more and prepared to leave.

Passing by the hall of the school palace, when he was in the examination room of number A, he glanced inside again, and saw that there were still a lot of candidates standing there looking at the examination room, and they were stranded, and the number of people was more than before.

It's just such an exam room, what is there to see, it's worth watching for a long time, and I won't leave here. Jiang Yun secretly slandered himself in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and was about to leave by himself, when he heard a broken shout ringing in his ears: "Stop!"

He looked back, only to see a person striding towards him, with contempt and disdain on his face, isn't it who that Min Wei is, behind him, followed by Lu Wenpeng, Li Yuanchun, Han Ziyun and several others, these people are the top ten in the county examination in Linshui County, and the examination room for tomorrow's government examination is the number A room in the lobby of this school palace.

"Jiang Yun, you still have the face to come to the examination room, if I were you, I wouldn't have to take the exam tomorrow, and I wouldn't be able to pass the exam anyway, so why humiliate myself. Min Wei came to Jiang Yun's front and began to provoke.

Jiang Yun laughed and said, "You, the person who stole my first case, still dare to speak out here, this is really shameless." ”

Min Wei looked ridiculous, pointed at Jiang Yun and said to the people around him: "You see, isn't this person crazy, a person at the bottom of the list, he was stunned to say that I stole his first case, how shameless it is to say it." ”

Seeing that there was a bustle to see here, many people gathered around, looked lively, and talked about it.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems to say that this person is the bottom of the county test list, but he said that the brother stole his case. ”

"Ah, there are such strange things?"

"It's ridiculous, a list leader actually said that the head of the case stole his head, can it be more shameless. ”

"This benevolent brother, why should he be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, it's not worth it. ”

There was a lot of discussion around, thinking that this fact was funny, and most of them supported Min Wei, the head of the case, and despised Jiang Yun's funny and absurd behavior.

The head of each county, that is the ranking that makes all the candidates salivate, this is not only an honor, but a real benefit.

Although there are no explicit regulations, there are conventional rules, and as long as the head of a county's case does not have a bad score in the government examination, it is a sure thing to be admitted.

The head of a county shows that he is valued by the county order and wants to cultivate talents, and the prefect generally has to give this face, and it is impossible to be dethroned.

Some people question the head of the case, although it may be out of selfish jealousy, but public opinion is not so one-sided, but the problem is that the person who questioned the head of the case is a person who is at the bottom of the county test list, which makes people feel ridiculous and ridiculous.

If the top three, top five, or even top ten are questioned, everyone still feels excusable and half-convinced, but a person at the end of the list questioned the head of the case, saying that the head of the case stole his head, which is really a complete joke.

So now everyone is one-sided in favor of Min Wei, the head of the case, and they are cold-eyed and disdainful of Jiang Yun, the last of the list.

Seeing that he had almost become the target of everyone, and the heroes did not suffer the losses in front of him, Jiang Yun felt that it was better to leave, so he immediately didn't bother to say more, and left from the crowd.

But Min Wei refused to let him go easily, and laughed loudly at the candidates in Qingling Mansion around him: "You may not know yet, this person is a celebrity in my Linshui County, and some ridiculous and stupid things have spread all over the county, causing jokes, and I will tell you about it......

Jiang Yun couldn't hear his words anymore, but he thought that he was spreading his "reputation" among the candidates of Qingling Mansion again.

After leaving the Fuxue Palace, Jiang Yun went straight back to his residence at the Tongfu Inn in the west of the city.

After dinner, tomorrow is the government test, Jiang Yun doesn't plan to turn over any more books, and he rests early.

This night, it is destined to be unpeaceful, the courtyard is unusually lively and noisy, those mountain people and monks have been gathering together to make a fuss and drink papers, and there is no sign of dispersing in the middle of the night, and the shouting and shouting are constantly coming, making it difficult for Jiang Yun not to hear it.

These people didn't mean it, right, knowing that tomorrow's government exam would start, and they deliberately came to make people uneasy? Jiang Yun secretly hated in his heart, and as a last resort, he pulled two balls of cotton wool to block his ears, and only then did he calm down a little.

In a daze, he woke up in a daze, and the noise outside was still there, but he didn't dare to sleep anymore, and got up from the couch in his clothes.

Look outside, the waning moon is setting in the west, the night is lonely, and the time is almost not early. Like the county test, the entrance examination is due, this is the west of the city, and there is still a long way to go from the east of the city, so you have to leave in advance.

He got up and washed up, packed up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used in the exam, and put them in an exam basket.

Jiang Yun gave a little reward, ate the breakfast sent by the shopkeeper, carried the test basket, borrowed a lantern from the store, and went out in the night.

"Look, he really rushed to take the exam!" "The mountain man who was still drinking all night in the courtyard saw Jiang Yun going out and pointed at him.

"If you don't pass the exam, you will wait for him to fall into Sun Mountain in three days, and if he is not on the list, you will see his jokes. "Some people swear by it.

"Okay, I'm sleepy after a night's trouble, let's go back to sleep, and I'm going to swim in the lake tomorrow." ”

After a yawn, everyone dispersed, went back to their rooms, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet......

Jiang Yun carried the lantern and strode towards the direction of the Chengdong Mansion Xue Xue Palace.

After a while, he gradually came to the east of the city, and there were more and more candidates carrying lanterns and test baskets on the road, and everyone was silently hurrying without any words.

Although the acceptance rate of the government examination is very high, with a one-to-one admission ratio, many candidates still feel great pressure, and no one can be sure that they are the half of those who are admitted until the real results come out.

I'm afraid that there are only eight cases in eight counties, and the mood is the most relaxed at the moment, in addition, even those candidates who are in the top ten in each county, the number A room, do not dare to take it lightly.

After a while, there was a noisy sound in the direction ahead, and the Fuxue Palace had arrived.

Came to the gate of the school palace, it was still night at the moment, the carriages, horses, and sedan chairs crowded all sides of the road, countless figures were shaking, there were candidates who rushed to take the exam, there were also people who followed the entourage, and there were vendors who started to buy and sell snacks early, the scene seemed to be messy, fortunately, there were a large number of government officials in the field to maintain order, so as not to be completely chaotic.

"Get out of the way, candidates go first!"

"Have the candidates from Zhang'an County arrived, come here!"

"Brother Xu, where are you, Brother Xu?"

"Who, who stepped on my shoes, my shoes, ah......"

"Candidates from Linshui County are coming here!"

Jiang Yun was walking through the noisy crowd when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice in his ears, which seemed to be the voice of Wang Xuan, the teacher in their Linshui County. (To be continued.) )
