After singing Bao, Zhou Qi was led to the examination room.

The county examination room is divided into five, because of the previous rebellion and natural disasters, the number of people in this examination is much less than a few years ago, each examination room is about two hundred people, and the four people of Zhou Qilianbao, three of them have shared an examination room with him, and one has been singled, I don't know where to go......

The examination rooms in the examination room are unified to sit in the north and face south, and they are all single compartments, separated by two-meter-high obstacles, which can effectively prevent cheating.

Not only that, every thirty exams, there is an examiner sitting opposite, but these examiners are not serious examiners, they are basically county officials drawn from the six departments of the county government.

The chief examiner is still from Liuxian County, plus an examiner sent from the prefecture school, this examiner is not an official from Qizhou City, but from other states and counties......

The first is to inspect candidates for fraud, the second is to prevent candidates from bribing the local examiner, and the third is to prevent local county-level officials and state-level officials from shielding each other!

Zhou Qi never expected that this simple county test would be so complicated and rigorous! ……

I have to say that this ancient man really attached great importance to the imperial examination, and in this case, he was not so worried about the other four people who were jointly guaranteed with him about any chance of cheating!

After all the candidates entered, the gong sounded three times, and the examiner entered the examination room with the file, removed the sealing oil and wax in front of everyone, issued the test papers, and the exam officially began.

From the point of view of the exam questions, they are almost the same as in the past, most of them are some scripture questions, which are equivalent to fill-in-the-blank questions in later generations, followed by Moyi, and finally a trial poem.

The first two volumes are pretty much the same, but the most important thing is this poem!

According to Zhou Qi's memory, Liu Sichen once recited a poem that was very likely to be of a certain generation, which shows that 300 poems of a certain poem are useless, either pull them back or compose them themselves.

Zhou Qi chose to do it himself, it's not impossible to pull it back, but he thinks it's almost unnecessary, the county's requirements for literary style are not high, as long as the rhythm of the poem is correct, it can almost be fooled.

The exam lasts for four hours, from morning to night, and you stay in the exam room almost all day, even if you have finished the test questions, you have to stay in the exam room honestly and do not move around without permission!

Zhou Qi had already answered all the questions in the third hour, but fortunately, Su Ling had prepared the food in advance, and he also brought it in.

Now I have put the roll away and started to eat.

This time, Su Ling prepared a burger that could fill his stomach, but because this burger had no baking skills, it used fried steamed buns, which were divided into two and mixed with chicken and vegetables.

These foods were brought in after being checked by the official in front of the door to see if there was no problem, for example, his burger has been dismantled now, and it doesn't look very good, and he is not a particular person, so he first nibbled on steamed buns and then ate chicken!

During this period, Liuxian Ling and the examiner also wandered around, although he was familiar with Liuxian Ling, but at this time he could only pretend not to know, otherwise he would kill himself.

I finally waited until the examiner came to collect the papers, and then signed my name for future verification, and the first exam was finally over!

Out of Wenzhu Academy, Liu Sichen was still waiting at the door, which made Zhou Qi moved!

But before he passed, there were already many scholars who surrounded Liu Sichen, and Liu Sichen didn't care about them and walked straight to Zhou Qi.

"Brother Zhou, how is it?"

Of course, Zhou Qi didn't have any problems, and replied with a smile: "Almost!" ”

It means it's okay.

Hearing this, Liu Sichen was a little relieved, and then he began to talk to the other scholars like dogs.

At this time, a person who looked like a scholar arched his hand at him and said: "Ahem, thank you Liu Xiucai for guaranteeing me, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to participate in this county test this time!" ……”

"It's okay, you are a student of Wenzhu Academy, if it weren't for your physical illness, you wouldn't delay the registration, and I will guarantee you, I'm also quite relieved, I hope you will perform well in the next re-examination, and you will be on the list of Yuyue Longmen......"

Liu Sichen spoke at length.

Zhou Qi had a headache when he heard this, and he helped his forehead and was about to leave, but he was pulled back to make an introduction.

"This person is one of the five people who are jointly insured with you, Xu Dingsheng!"

Then they bowed to each other, and when the person was far away, Liu Sichen informed Zhou Qi that this person was actually a distant relative of the strange goods living in Xu's shopkeeper earlier!

Since the shopkeeper Xu handed over the shop, it seems to have disappeared, and now a distant relative suddenly appeared, and Zhou Qi was a little worried.

"Shopkeeper Xu's relative, you dare to vouch for him?"

"This person has already fallen out with the shopkeeper Xu, not to mention that he is indeed a rare talent, but he was sick a while ago and lay at home for several months, and now his condition is getting better, so he came to participate in the county exam, and he came here for fame, Brother Zhou and rest assured." Liu Sichen said.

Zhou Qi had to say that this Liu Sichen really had a big heart.

But this policy has been settled, and now it is irrevocable, just hope that everything goes well, and don't make any mistakes!

On the second day of the retest, the rules for entering the examination room were as before, and this time Zhou Qi's insurance policy should be in front, and it didn't take long for the examiner to sing the insurance.

"I, Zhou Qi......"

"I, Xu Dingsheng......"

"I, Wang ......"

Zhou Qi turned his head to look at the other four, there was no difference from yesterday, but Xu Dingsheng looked much better than yesterday.

Before he could think about it, he was already taken to the examination room.

There is only one exam paper today, and the exam is a decree, and the exam time is only half a day.

It is mainly to test the candidate's cognition of the law, and the form is the same as yesterday, most of them are fill-in-the-blank questions, as long as the familiar content is filled in.

But Zhou Qi played a little abnormally today, and it took two hours to answer this test paper.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

I vaguely remember that when I saw Xu Dingsheng yesterday, his face was pale, and his gestures were vain and weak, but today's words were already full of energy, and the whole person was ruddy and radiant, this disease got better quite quickly?

However, I finally passed the exam smoothly, and there were no waves.

Some of the entrainment cheat sheets were discovered, and they were directly taken out by the officials, and the five people who were even in the joint guarantee were disqualified from the examination, and were sentenced to 50 canes, and they were not allowed to take the exam again for three years!

There is no one in this group who is with him.

After the exam, the examiner will review the papers, which has nothing to do with the candidates, just sit at home and wait for the release of the list! ……

However, Zhou Qi was not so idle, and he had to do something when he came to the city, so he first arrived at the Zhou family's tooth brushing shop, which was closest to Wenzhu Academy.

Now the toothbrush craze has stabilized, and there are only two or three people in the shop.

This is for Chen Sanqing, a craftsman who has already become a shopkeeper, sitting in front of the counter with a book and shaking his head......

But after seeing Zhou Qi, his eyes immediately flashed.

"Shopkeeper! How was the test? ”

Everyone knew that Zhou Qi had participated in this year's county exam, so the first thing he saw was naturally to ask about it.

Zhou Qi nodded with a smile, and then asked about the situation in the shop, especially the members in the shop, he was extremely concerned about this matter, to know that his membership system will also be registered to the addresses of each family, grasp this, and almost open up the county's contacts! ……

Of course, the result was not surprising to him, the rich and noble families in this city who could get money were basically registered, he was very satisfied with this, and after greeting Chen San, he went to the strange goods house.
