Ordinary scientific research shed, the size of the seat is facing south, the southernmost has the east and west gates, the circle is a wooden fence, there is a large courtyard.

The north of the courtyard is the main gate, called the dragon gate, and the dragon gate is a large courtyard behind the dragon gate, for the candidates to wait for the name of the institute.

Pingcang County's cultural movement is not at its peak, but the examination room is a must-have, compared with the surrounding counties, it is quite spacious and spacious.

The candidates were in the spacious compound, arranged in the order of their number plates, and the officials in front of the dragon gate called one to go in one by one.

The officers who passed through the door to check were all capable people, and they entered people very quickly, so Zhou Bai didn't wait long.

When it was Zhou Rui's turn, Zhou Baishi, he just happened to recognize Zhou Rui by the search officer, and even the search was pretending to be a look, so that the two Zhou sons were exempt from "embarrassment".

The guards on both sides turned a blind eye to this, and they were transferred by the county lieutenant only to prove the importance of the imperial court and suppress any restless factors.

Those who really dare to carry cheat sheets can only find their own death, of course, there are always a few people who don't know what to do every year, trying to hide from the world.

As everyone knows, the officials are in charge, the gods are patrolling, how can ordinary mortals engage in some crooked ways.

When you actually enter the lobby of the exam room, all the hustle and bustle disappears, and there is silence all around.

No candidate dared to make any unnecessary moves, and acted cautiously for fear of getting into trouble.

Zhou Bai and Zhou Rui separated, found the location of their respective exam number representatives, and then sat down quietly and waited.

The other candidates were more or less nervous and didn't dare to look around, but Zhou Bai was confident and looked around calmly.

The examiners in the hall were already seated, in the middle was the county order, the left and right were divided into county officials, and the teachers acted as invigilators, and in the corner not far from behind were the two Taoist officials that Zhou Bai had seen.

Just like in the previous life, in recent years, the imperial court has attached great importance to the imperial examination, and the county examination is presided over by the county commander himself.

Otherwise, in the past, the county official presided over the occasion, and it was enough for the county order to come to inspect occasionally.

Ji Hongzhe, who has been here for a year from other counties, is usually quite low-key, and often relies on the big clans in the county to govern and secure the people.

Soon, all kinds of information surfaced from the depths of my mind, how can I see that this county master is easy to deal with?

In fact, according to the practice of the next few years, this is not a peaceful person, and a year of dormancy is just to gain a firm foothold.

soliciting displaced people and promulgating land reclamation orders; support supplies and repair the walls of Kukou Pass; Recruit the powerful family and clean up the thieves in Cangshan......

Although there are many mistakes in various government decrees, it can be seen that he is a doer, and he has to find a way to win over and borrow strength, Zhou Bai secretly pondered.

As for the county and the teaching, they are all from the Bei'an County family and have deep roots, and they don't need to cooperate with his Zhou family.

Bang Bang Bang ~

Just as Zhou Bai was thinking, three crisp whips came from outside, this is the end of the admission time, and the dragon gate is closed.

The candidates were all in place, and the two scribes took out two stacks of heavy test papers from the back hall and put them on the desk, the test papers were not opened, they were all wrapped in butter paper with runes, and the seal also had the fire paint seal of the Bei'an County Government.

That's right, even the county examination is uniformly issued by the higher-level county government to avoid the lack of quality of children selected by each county.

Ji Hongzhe stood up and bowed slightly towards the Taoist officials in the corners on both sides, and the two Taoist officials also understood, and immediately walked to the table.

"County Venerable, please show the Great Seal."

The official seal of the Qipin County Order, representing the ruling authority of the Daxu Imperial Court in Pingcang County, is the hub of luck.

Ji Hongzhe lifted the simple and heavy seal and made a false seal on the hundreds of candidates left and right in the hall.

Nothing strange happened, and Zhou Bai didn't dare to use his entry-level Qi Viewing Technique, but suddenly felt a sense of oppression enveloping his whole body, making him sit upright.

Suppress the luck of candidates with national luck, so that everyone can display their talents at the same level, so that those with deep luck will not gain much advantage.

This is the reason why on the road of every imperial examination, there are always poor families and even peasant scholars who stand out, even if there are few, but there are still them.

When your literary talent and talent are amazing enough, even the world's largest fortune swallower, the imperial court, is willing to supplement your luck to cultivate you.

Let's ask those who can still write Jin Qing's text under the suppression of the official seal, how can they be put in Siye.

The Seven Seals were then placed in the center of the desk, which was also the central axis of the entire county test room.

As soon as the official seal is issued, it is a reminder that the supervising gods are in place, and the Taoist officials can also open the test papers with confidence.

I saw that one of them took out a palm-sized peachwood sword, and then cut through the fire paint and put away the rune yellow paper that was sealed.

The mana of the two Dao officials was not weak, and the sealing Dao method did not escape its power, and several obscure fluctuations were all cut off by the peachwood small sword.

The unsealed test papers were handed out one by one in the hands of the scribes, and at this time, the candidates either studied ink or tried their pens on blank rice paper.

In the end, when the county order was ordered to answer, Zhou Bai and other candidates started writing.

From the beginning of the Heavenly Court's dethronement of the Daomen and the imperial examination as the only avenue, the various processes related to the imperial examination have been extremely perfect.

The subjects of the children's examination, the silent writing of the sage's classics for the first time, are not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as it is a clear record of the great Confucianism who ascended to heaven, excerpts from his articles may appear.

In this way, even if the first subject is purely memorized, many people with a weak foundation will be screened out.

Literacy and sentence making, enlightenment is enough, and children can't let you be.

Of course, the classic silent writing, as long as you work hard, you can write most of it, and not all of the audience is immersed in answering questions.

Zhou Bai is no exception, but he doesn't need to pause and ponder like other candidates, the bottom of the pen is full of flowers, and a paper is quickly completed silently.

He not only writes quickly, but also polishes the words in two lifetimes, but also has vigorous and powerful handwriting, and there is a sense of grandeur at a glance.

The second subject is the trial poem, with spring as the theme, free to play.

Zhou Bai didn't plan to go all out and copy the poems in his memory, but did it on the spot.

…… I also feel that the clouds are not rolling, and the white shirt is spring to the world.

It was also written quickly, but even if it was so casual, after a trial poem was written, there was still a faint redness oozing.

This is Wenqi, you don't need to look at qi, ordinary people can see it.

However, there is only a place like this imperial examination room, where literati gather, and the atmosphere is dense, and it can be visible out of thin air.

Zhou Bai did not write a red essay for himself, but continued to answer and write a policy essay for the third subject.

However, the red gas surfaced on the paper, but it caused a discussion among the invigilators in the hall.

"Who's kid is this, just finish writing the second subject, and there will be red gas." The instructor was obviously more concerned about the candidates, and asked in a low voice at the first time.

"It should be the Zhou family, I remember that his father was born in the twenty-sixth year of Xiangxing, not bad, not bad, he can still write poems of red gas under the suppression of the official seal." The county magistrate immediately replied that he had not moved for 20 years since he became the county magistrate of Pingcang, and he was extremely familiar with the family in the county.

As for Ji Hongzhe, after all, he was born in the top three jinshi, and said calmly: "It's nothing to try to post poems to show popularity, the key is to look at the article." ”

Then I saw him gently lift the official seal, and Zhou Bai's answer sheet was as usual again, and everything that showed red gas was as if it had never happened.
