After the three examinations, the scholars went out of the dormitory in batches and went to the public court to submit their papers.

Next to the examiner, strictly supervise the receiving officer according to the scriptures, every fifty volumes will be sealed into the box, those who do not submit the papers are not allowed to go out, the number of test papers must be consistent with the number of candidates, otherwise they will be held accountable.

But it does not mean that you can leave immediately after handing in the volume, when you hand in the volume, the officer will issue a sign, and you can only leave after checking and canceling at the dragon gate, which is called "putting the card".

There are three times a day, the first card is put in the afternoon, the second card is put in the afternoon, and the third card is placed in the evening.

The first two exams must strictly adhere to the release time, and the third will be released one day earlier, that is, on the fifteenth, but generally few people do this.

Such a large-scale exam, which is related to oneself or even one's family, of course, must be foolproof, and the extra time will see if it can be perfected, so most of them will be handed in on the 16th to receive the license.

Cheng Zhongqian was no exception, and he limped out of the door when he was in the middle of nowhere.

"Daddy is out!"

Cheng Zhongqian, who heard the movement, slowly turned his head and saw several children running over, Ling Bao took San Lang's hand and ran in front, followed by Erlang and Da Lang, surrounding him in a semicircle.

"Dad, are you alright? Can it hold up? Cheng Yun frowned slightly, and supported Cheng Zhongqian with a little worry.

There's a reason he's asking.

The system in the Gongyuan house is strict, the examination rules are strict, and there is a lack of medicine in it, and there are always some elderly and frail scholars who can't bear the pressure every year, and it is good to enter the examination room with a blank mind, some of them think too much, think about some of them, and directly "scare" themselves to death.

Cheng Zhongqian is okay, the hard work in the past few years has made him much stronger.

"It's fine, it's good."

Lingbao twisted his little face and asked, "Then Daddy, why are you limping walking?" Still holding on to your waist! ”

She stared at Cheng Zhongqian solemnly, suspecting that her father was reporting good news or bad news, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Daddy?" Is it serious? Don't hide it from us! ”

Cheng Zhongqian smiled, bent down and wanted to hug her, but there was an overwhelming pain in his waist, and he suddenly bared his teeth and grinned: "Hiss-oops!" ”

Cheng Jin was worried and strange: "Dad, did you hurt your waist?" ”

"It's not!" Cheng Zhongqian vetoed it, this misunderstanding can't happen, he explained, "I sat in the house for too long, lay down for too long, and couldn't move, so my limbs were a little stiff, just rest and rest." ”

After the first exam, it was a little stiff, after the second exam, and after the third exam, it was stiff and stiff, which caused this situation.

Lingbao touched his waist and legs uneasily, didn't see any obvious scars, and became happy: "Then let's go back quickly, Daddy can have a good rest!" ”

"Go back and ask Xiao Er to prepare a bucket of bath water for me, I haven't changed my clothes for three days, and I'm sweaty." Cheng Zhongqian said disgustedly.

The house was cramped and stuffy, and I was covered in sweat when I wrote the questions, and my clothes were pickled with sweat.

Not to mention that it's okay, as soon as Cheng Yi said it, he deliberately moved from Cheng Jin's side and leaned over to his father and sniffed it.

"Huh, Dad, you really stink!"

His voice was loud, and as soon as he spoke, the people next to him looked over, Cheng Zhongqian suddenly felt embarrassed, and glared at him through gritted teeth.

Cheng Yi was still inexplicable, why did he stare at him? He's obviously echoing Daddy!

It's unreasonable!

The kitchen of the inn has been boiling hot water, and it didn't take long to lift the hot water, Cheng Zhongqian asked the children to go out, mainly Lingbao, and then stripped off the damp and sticky clothes, and sighed comfortably the moment he soaked in.

The warm stream of water gently pushes the body, as if all the tiredness has been washed away.

Cheng Zhongqian was even a little drowsy.

Cheng Yun came in uneasily, and saw his father asleep with his head on the side of the bucket, but fortunately he came in to take a look!

Pushed Cheng Zhongqian's shoulder: "Dad, wake up, go to bed and sleep after washing." ”

Cheng Zhongqian came to his senses, quickly washed his hair, and then dried his body and went to sleep.

One slept until the next day.

In his sleep, he felt a few pairs of immature little hands pressing on him, pressing here and pinching there, and his stiff body was relieved, and he fell into a deeper sleep.

Cheng Zhongqian was woken up by hunger, and he could only eat some dry food for three days, and he wanted to eat something good now.

asked Xiao Er to serve several dishes, and the family gathered around to eat.

Lingbao took a steamed bun bigger than his hand, took a bite, puffed out his cheeks and asked, "Daddy, are you comfortable?" When you fall asleep, my brothers and I have a massage for you! ”

"It's you, why are you so comfortable?" Cheng Zhongqian's surprised expression made Ling Bao and Cheng Jin very happy.

"Dad, how did you do on the exam?"

It was only at this time that Cheng Yun and the others dared to ask, they had been afraid of disturbing his train of thought before.

"Anyway, I answered it, and I feel pretty good."

This is still thanks to Gao Xianqing, without his guidance, Cheng Zhongqian felt that he would definitely not be able to answer such a good test paper.

Or to say that Lingbao, after all, he was able to meet Gao Xianqing thanks to his precious daughter.

"As for whether you can win or not, you can only listen to the destiny of heaven."

Lingbao interjected: "I must be able to win!" ”

The childish words are not true, but Cheng Zhongqian was still pleased, and asked her with a smile: "How do you know?" ”

Ling Poke said cutely: "Daddy's answer is good, of course you can win!" ”

Cheng Zhongqian pinched her face, sighed and said, "That's not it." ”

Lingbao tilted his head, how was that calculated?

"There are rules for judging, but it's hard to follow them completely."

Because there are nearly 10,000 scholars in some provincial capitals, there is not only one paper on the volume, three articles per game, and nine articles in three games.

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhongqian came up with an arithmetic problem on a whim: "How many articles are there in total?" The number is 10,000. ”

Lingbao immediately counted with her fingers, and the others didn't shout when they calculated it, waiting patiently for her.

As soon as Ling Bao looked up, everyone looked at her, shrunk their necks, and whispered, "Isn't it...... Ninety thousand? ”

Everyone was surprised, because Lingbao came into contact with arithmetic very late, which is another big number.

"Yes, it's ninety thousand!" Cheng Yun praised without hesitation.

Lingbao raised her chin vividly, it was the king who taught her.

The king said that for an integer like 10,000, just count the first number, and then add a few zeros to the end of the answer.

She remembers it so well!

"The review time is very tight, only eighteen days and nights, and the number of room officials is small, 90,000 articles, how can I have time to read them one by one." Cheng Zhongqian took a few more bites of food and said, "It's all just flipped to one place, look at one or two lines, if it's a good roll, just look at it from the beginning, if not, just put it aside." ”

Therefore, there is a proverb, there is no paper in the field, one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin gong and five reading.
