Chapter 38: I'm a Eunuch.
Zhao Wujiang was puzzled.
He took a long breath, finished inspecting the Ming Jing examination room, and continued to walk to other examination rooms.
The other examination rooms are relatively deserted, because the selection is all professionals, good at legal affairs, good at writing, good at arithmetic, etc.
A trace of doubt always lingered in Zhao Wujiang's heart.
Candidates who cheat will be brought to the Shangshu Provincial Criminal Department for trial and will be interrogated tomorrow.
Zhao Wujiang returned to the examination room of Jinshike, Jingzhao Shaoyin hurriedly got up, and he saw Zhao Wujiang's somewhat gloomy face.
"Lord Zhao? Is there anything I can do? β
"It's okay, you just do your best."
Jingzhao Shaoyin was stunned and sat down in embarrassment.
Hopefully I'm thinking too much...... Zhao Wujiang frowned, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the examination room.
He walked to Zhang Weimin's side, and Zhang Weimin was already answering questions at this time.
The theme of the exam is "The Kingdom of Civil Officials", and candidates are required to answer the questions according to their own opinions.
Zhang Weimin's expression was awe-inspiring, the pen walked like a dragon and a snake, and the ink flew on the paper.
"A gentleman works all day long, and he is not to blame.
Born in the world, he should be a gentleman.
Cultivate one's own body, cast the eaves with one grass, one wood, one brick and one tile to shelter the people of the dawn of the world.
Governing the country is permanent, and the people are the foundation.
Caring for the people, no matter how big or small.
Profit to the world, no matter how much or too little.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β
His pen is like a divine help, and he is sprinkled with joy.
There is a taste of self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world...... Zhao Wujiang looked emotional, nodded, and appreciated Zhang Weimin's thoughts more and more.
......
The afterglow of the sunset, the sunset is slanting westward, and in the blink of an eye, the unitary time is approaching.
Most of the candidates in the examination room are still struggling to write, a small number of candidates who answered relatively quickly turned back to check their answers, and a few extremely confident candidates clasped their hands to their chests, closed their eyes and recuperated, and waited until the end of the scientific examination.
"Lord Zhao? Lord Zhao? β
Zhao Wujiang was thinking about what happened today, and suddenly felt that someone was shouting for him to push him gently, he opened his eyes, and in front of him was the flattering old face of Jingzhao Shaoyin.
"What?"
"This official wants to invite you to a gathering in the Drunken Xianglou tonight, I don't know if Lord Zhao is willing to appreciate his face?"
The imperial examination is not over yet, what kind of half-time champagne operation is this?
"Another day."
Zhao Wujiang said euphemistically: "This official has been working too hard recently, and he is tired, and the imperial examination has not yet ended, we still need to do our best." β
Jingzhao Shaoyin's face changed slightly, and he secretly said that he was a little confused, "Ouch, Lord Zhao, it's the official's inconsiderate consideration, I hope Lord Zhao don't blame, don't blame." β
Zhao Wujiang waved his hand and watched the sun set.
The imperial examination is over.
The officials of Shangshu Province poured into the examination room one after another, and the forbidden army with knives stood at the entrance and exit, and the officials began to collect the papers and seal the books at the same time.
The sealed examination papers will be sent to the Shangshu Provincial Case Library, where the official and academic celebrities or the important officials of the six departments of Shangshu Province have been waiting for a long time, as long as the examination papers arrive, they will start to read the papers immediately.
The list of candidates who passed the imperial examination would be compiled by the Ministry of Rites and then submitted to the prime minister of the current dynasty and the current saint.
The saint and the prime minister will study and discuss, determine the ranking of the candidates, and then hand them over to Shangshu Province to hold a "singing" ceremony.
This process usually takes three to five days, and there is nothing to do with Zhao Wujiang during this period.
No, there are also candidates who cheat...... Zhao Wujiang thought in his heart, and decided to go to the Criminal Department in person tomorrow to interrogate those candidates who cheated and pry some useful information out of their mouths.
He straightened his shirt and stood up.
Zhao Wujiang took his hand and slowly left the examination room under the respectful gaze of the officials.
As soon as I got out of the examination room, I saw the relatives and friends of the candidates waiting outside Shangshu Province.
The most striking thing is a group of beautiful and refined girls, Yingying Yanyan, discussing something.
Why are there so many girls? Who are they waiting for? Zhao Wujiang was puzzled, most of the candidates were not married, it couldn't be that all of them were their fiancΓ©es or something.
A girl in a pink dress saw Zhao Wujiang walking out of the examination room, and she exclaimed:
"Ahhh
As soon as she spoke, it immediately caused an uproar among the girls.
"Ah, Lord Zhao has seen it, he's so handsome, ahhh
"He is so arrogant and talented, you look at him, he is so handsome even frowning!"
"He's so young, he must not be married, look, he's looking at me, he's looking at me, he's looking at me."
"Lord Zhao, the little woman is sixteen years old, and she has not yet married ......"
"My father is the ...... of the national festival"
"I'm willing to give you a monkey, Lord Zhao!"
β......β
Damn, are they waiting for me?
I'm a eunuch...... Zhao Wujiang was shocked, looking at the torrent of girls rushing over, he trembled in his heart, and retreated again and again.
He retreated to the door, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu just walked out, seeing Zhao Wujiang's nervous expression, he asked suspiciously:
"Lord Zhao, why are you so nervous?"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard the youthful and spring-like shout in his ears, and frowned.
I saw that the girls in Yan Feihuan's thin and colorful skirts were rushing in.
"Lord Zhao take care!"
The Ministry of Rites slammed for a moment, and then closed the door tightly.
Leaving Zhao Wujiang alone outside the door, in the wind, surrounded by a group of girls.
......
Zhaoyi Palace, Wu Meiniang's dormitory.
Zhao Wujiang dragged a tired figure to appear.
He was disheveled, his face was loveless, his cheeks were covered with residual rouge gouache, and there were blood stains under his nose.
Didn't you say that the ancients were more reserved?
They actually gnawed at me...... Zhao Wujiang couldn't help but shudder when he thought back to what had just happened outside Shangshu Province.
He wiped the rouge gouache on his cheeks, and it was not appropriate for Wu Meiniang and Qing'er to see him like this.
He slowly came to the door of Wu Meiniang's dormitory, and found that Qing'er was sitting on the steps, not eating, and looking sullen.
"Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Zhaozi..."Qing'er's big eyes were full of moisture, and she said aggrievedly: "I'm not comfortable here, can't I eat so much delicious food in the future..."
"Upset stomach?"
"Well, Xiao Zhaozi, aren't you very good at medicine, help me take a look."
