In order to be able to get to Fucheng before dark, at noon An Chuxia they only stopped to eat the dry food they brought and drank water.

Hurry up and enter the Nanlinfu City Gate before the city gate closes.

The carriage went to several inns near the examination institute, which were full of candidates.

In the early summer, they had to go to an inn a little farther away to stay overnight.

Because of the large number of people staying during this time, the inn has also adjusted the price of accommodation.

An ordinary inn, now the high room costs five taels of silver a night, the medium room is three taels, and the lower house is one tael of silver.

The inferior room was very noisy downstairs against the lobby, and finally An Chuxia and the teacher Gu Tongsheng discussed it and decided to live in the medium room on the second floor.

In order to save money An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao lived in one room, Gu Tongsheng proposed that he and An Shouyu, the third cousin An Shouyu brought by An Chuxia, live in one room.

Although An Shouyu was afraid that he would disturb him if he lived in a room with Mr. Gu, he heard that it was so expensive to live for a day, so he stood aside silently and decided to listen to their arrangement.

In the early summer, they came two days in advance, but they were afraid that they would be late, and the inn was full.

After coming to Fucheng, An Chuxia didn't read anymore, she spent most of her time resting, and Gu Fangmiao was gradually influenced by her, and unconsciously put down her nervousness.

An Shouyu came with the mission of the whole family of Guangyao, although they settled in Liushu Village, a village with mixed surnames, and only five households were a family handed down from their ancestors.

But no matter how big or small the clan is, they still have a sense of honor and morality.

When he came, except for An Shouli, an family member who did not recognize his six relatives, other people surnamed An heard their mother say that An was going to Fucheng to take the imperial examination in the early summer.

All came to send a coil to An Chuxia, a girl from the same clan who was about to take the fame test, no matter how much, it was all a heart.

After coming to Fucheng for two days, he saw An Chuxia resting in addition to eating, and this rough man didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to say, and there was a circle of burning bubbles on his mouth.

Gu Tongsheng saw the beard on his lips curled like this, and comforted him: "Xia Yatou knows it in her heart, you don't need to worry so much." ”

An Shouyu was still quite convinced of Gu Tongsheng, and after listening to his comfort, his impatient mood calmed down a little, and he took care of his niece with peace of mind.

Gu Fangmiao herself is a little girl who loves to eat and sleep, and she is in good spirits after two days of relaxation.

On the third day of the fourth month, the day of the official examination of the government examination.

The procedures for the prefectural examination and the county examination are similar, except that there are five county examinations and three prefectural examinations.

The chief examiner of the prefectural examination is the prefect.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao still got up before dawn to check whether there were any problems with the paper, ink, pen and inkstone in the examination basket, and whether they were missing anything, as well as the food and water they were going to eat when they were ready to rest.

After everything was fine, the two began to walk out of the room with the test basket.

An Shouyu took the test basket in their hands without saying anything when he saw them come out.

An Chuxia saw Gu Tongsheng following behind, stood at the door of the inn and looked at the dark sky, turned his head and said, "Teacher, don't go!" We'll just go by ourselves! ”

Gu Tongsheng stubbornly raised his head, crossed An Chuxia and his granddaughter, and followed An Shouyu, who took the lead, in front.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly and followed.

Before coming to the examination compound, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao lined up with the crowd for inspection.

This time, there were more female students, there were twenty or thirty people, and the male students were even more pressed.

And only about 50 of these hundreds of students were admitted to the government examination, becoming this year's children.

The inspection of the prefectural examination is similar to that of the county examination, and the female students are taken by the female history to the small house next to the door, take off their coats, untie their hair, take off their shoes and socks, and check whether there is any entrainment inside.

It is said that the male students are more strict than the female students.

The cakes brought by An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao were torn apart several times by the female history, and neither of them said anything, Gu Tongsheng had already told them about this situation, and both of them were mentally prepared.

Successfully passed the inspection, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao made an appointment to wait at the door after the exam, and then separated to find their own exam positions.

The content of the three exams of the government examination includes, poetry, fu, strategy, theory, sexual theory, and holy oracle training.

Every time after the exam, An Chuxia will carefully check whether there is a temple (the name of the late emperor) and the imperial name (the name of the current emperor) and so on.

There are people who fail in every exam, and those who do not take the next exam cannot take the next one.

There are less than 200 students who survived the last game, and there are less than five female students left, one of whom is Dong Linlin.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao still sat firmly in the third examination room.

Because such exam questions are not difficult for the two of them, not to mention that Pei Yanhua, a famous teacher, has been teaching for a few months.

Even An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao have read all the books of the Gu family, and their knowledge is more than that.

After the three government examinations, the two of them finally spent some energy, and their faces were a little pale.

And Dong Linlin, who walked past the two, turned pale and scary, as if she was sick.

I saw her glaring at them viciously, and she walked over with fluttering steps, as if she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Every time An Chuxia took an exam, An Shouyu was waiting for them outside, and this time it was the same.

Seeing the two of them coming out, he hurriedly ran over, took the test basket in their hands, and asked, "Do you want to rent a carriage and pull you back?" ”

Because he saw many students staggering out of the examination room, some who were close were helped back by their families, and those who were far away hired carriages, so An Shouyu asked this question.

An Chuxia saw that Gu Fangmiao's spirit was fine, but she still asked her meaning with her eyes.

Gu Fangmiao shook her head, "There are too many people on the road, and it's not easy to walk in a carriage, let's walk back slowly!" ”

An Shouyu followed behind the two girls and watched them, and if he felt that they were physically exhausted, he quickly hired a carriage to take them back.

The time for the list of the government examination is different in each place, and it takes five days for many candidates in some places to be large, and only three days for fewer candidates.

After An Chuxia paid the cost of the inn room to the government examination list, although the teacher Gu Tongsheng said that she spent money indiscriminately, she obviously wanted to know the results of the house test as soon as possible.

In the past few days, except for Gu Tongsheng and An Shouyu, who had the results of the government examination in their hearts, An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao completely let go of themselves after resting and recovering.

I go shopping on the street every day to buy gifts for my family, An Chuxia not only bought ready-to-wear clothes for my brother An Jinchen, but also bought four pieces at the same time.

Every time Brother Runsheng sent her to and from school, he was injured for his brother, how could he be missing.

Brother Runsong stayed at his house for a few days last time, and they never spent money on food and drink, and they had to return the gift.

Mu Tan, brother, they were all injured this time by him, and the medical expenses were confiscated, and everyone else had it, and he was not inferior to him.
