After crossing the bridge, Wei Chen first followed the flow of people to the Township Test Supply Center, which was a temporary institution set up during the Township Test, responsible for supplying the paper and pencils, food, water, lights, and sundries needed in the examination room.

The rest of the things Weichen has already prepared, so after entering the supply station, Weichen only received some charcoal, the charcoal stove is available in every house, the rainy day is cloudy and damp, and the charcoal stove can drive away the cold and dampness.

When entering the supply station, Wei Chen also saw a civil official wearing a seven-rank official robe sitting under the canopy.

According to the rules, the township test supply needs to set up a forest officer, who is the head of the county magistrate, and the official sitting under the canopy must be the county magistrate of Jiangning.

Wei Chen couldn't help but sigh a little, the dignified parent official of the first county of Jiangnan Province was only responsible for guarding the supply center and other logistics supply places in this township test, which showed the high specifications of the township test.

Coming out of the supply station, Wei Chen looked around, only to see a tall archway erected on the square in front of the Dragon Gate, with the book "Tiankai Wenyun". There is a memorial arch on the left and right, the left is "the Ming Jing takes the scholar", the right is "seeking talent for the country".

When he arrived here, Wei Chen felt the solemn atmosphere of Jiangnan Gongyuan, and his heart couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.

Two feet outside the gate of the Gongyuan, there is also a gate, that is, a red wooden fence, where the candidates gather.

The seven sons of Jiangning are famous, and Wei Chen himself is also famous among the candidates in this year, so people greet him wherever he goes.

Merely......

"Say hello, say hello, can you not get started!"

Wei Chen was very depressed, although it was not a vital part, but dozens of men were touching him, which always made people feel strange in their hearts.

The candidates who had surrounded Wei Chen several times smiled suddenly: "Brother Wei, don't be so stingy, we just want to get involved in the little three-yuan test luck." As he spoke, he continued to put his hands up and down, rubbing against Wei Chen's body.

Wei Chen's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot, and he rushed left and right with the scholar Yuan An, and used his strength to eat, and finally squeezed a way out of the cracks in the people and got rid of this group of guys.

As soon as he walked not far away, he heard Yuan An's crying voice coming from behind him: "Young master, it's not good!" ”

"What's wrong?" Wei Chen looked back in wonder.

"Our test box ......"

Yuan An unloaded the test box on his back and brought it to Wei Chen. Wei Chen took a look at it and almost pouted on the spot in anger.

I saw that the buckle on the exam box was originally well buckled, and I don't know if it was pried open by a thief heir unknowingly, and it was swaying and swinging.

The several layers of drawers in the exam box were all pulled out, all of them empty, and the paper, pencils, food, candles and other things that were originally full of paper and pens, food, candles and other things have long been gone.

"Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?"

Wei Chen's forehead was bruised, and he looked angrily everywhere he came. But I saw that the group of people who had surrounded him before were happily communicating.

"Hehe, I touched the brush of Xiao Sanyuan, and I used this pen to answer the question, and this autumn must have been stable."

"Rejoice and rejoice, mine is an inkstone."

"Mine is a candle."

"I grabbed half a duck."

"I'm this, it seems to be a little three-dimensional personal thing......"

A young examinee twisted a light short coat with two fingers, and his face was rather embarrassed.

The old fritters next to him had their eyes shining: "Hey, this is a rare good thing, come on, I'll exchange it with you!" ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"What a group of insulting Sven people, treat me with courtesy in vain, and unintentionally do such ugly things!"

Wei Chen's sad and angry voice sounded in the distance, and when the group saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ended the discussion, and with the "treasure of luck" they touched, they smeared oil on the soles of their feet one by one, and fled from the scene of the eucalyptus.

In the blink of an eye, they melted into the crowd like droplets of water and disappeared without a trace, disappearing so quickly that Wei Chen was dumbfounded.

Wei Chen couldn't catch up, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh: "The world is going down, and people's hearts are not ancient!" ”

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Yuan An looked at the looted exam box in front of him, his little face turned pale, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

If it was because of his dereliction of duty that affected Wei Chen's township test, or even caused Wei Chen to fall off the list, then he would never give up.

"Don't blame yourself, you can't blame you for this." Wei Chen waved his hand and sighed: "It's still early before the exam starts, let's go back to the supply center and buy another one." ”

Wei Chen took Yuan An to turn back, and when he hurriedly returned to the dragon gate after completing the examination equipment in the supply station, the prison officer had already opened the dragon gate, and the candidates in front of him began to wait for the search and entry.

Wei Chen looked around in the square, and finally found the team from Youyang County, where Han Jiaoyu from the county school was standing in front of the team with an umbrella.

Seeing Wei Chen coming, Han Jiaoyu said with some disgust: "Why did you come so late, you have to start entering." ”

After Wei Chen saluted, he reluctantly smiled and said, "I encountered some accidents on the road......

Han Jiaoyu shook his head, didn't ask too much, and arranged for Wei Chen to stand at the head of Youyang County's students, waiting in line to enter.

Behind Wei Chen were Wang Yaochen and Sheng Changbai's friends, and when they asked about Wei Chen's arrival, Wei Chen smiled bitterly and told him about his tragic experience.

Hearing that Wei Chen even had his close-fitting short clothes snatched away, several people laughed out loud. Wang Yaochen couldn't help but secretly think, it seems that this little Sanyuan is not so easy to be, fortunately it is not me.

The sky was overcast, the rain was gradually falling heavily, and the sound of rain was dense on the oil-paper umbrellas, and there were several puddles on the ground.

Looking at the heavier and heavier rain, the candidates' hearts became heavy.

The house in the Gongyuan is in disrepair, and it is normal for wind and rain to leak, and if the rain leaks into the house during the exam, it will be miserable.

Wei Chen wasn't too worried about this, when he just returned to the supply office to purchase supplies, he bought a curtain and a roof to protect him from the wind and rain, which could come in handy.

"Youyang candidates enter!"

After waiting in the heavy rain for nearly an hour, the angry shouts of the prison guards finally came from the front of the gate.

All the candidates from Youyang were in good spirits and slowly entered the gate under the leadership of Wei Chen.

After the gate is the instrument gate, after the instrument gate is the dragon gate, and the passage between the instrument gate and the dragon gate is the place where the candidates are searched.

Under the watchful eye of the prison officer, the candidates stood against the wall one by one, waiting for the officers and soldiers to search.

If someone is found guilty of cheating, the officers and soldiers in charge of the search will also be held accountable, so they will not show any mercy in the search.

Each candidate is searched from head to toe by two soldiers, and officials patrol around to prevent any mistakes.

In addition to the test taker himself, the test box and basket carried by the test taker are also the focus of the search.

Is the pen barrel hollow, and does the inkstone have a mezzanine? You have to beat it with a small hammer and listen carefully. As for the pastries and food, they are all cut to see if they are filled.

After such a rigorous search, the candidates seemed to have been ravaged, all of them were disheveled, disheveled, and completely deprived of the style of a scholar.

After the search, Wei Chen rearranged his clothes and examination box, walked into the examination room, and found his own house under the guidance of the scribe.

Before entering, Wei Chen took a look at the house and found that the roof was a little dilapidated, and the rainwater had seeped into it a lot, but it was okay, not particularly serious.

The situation in the number room opposite Wei Chen was similar, and the candidates who were assigned to the number room complained dissatisfiedly: "Damn, Lao Tzu has been studying hard for ten years, and he actually ran into a rain number!" ”
