"That's right, I'm here to take the civil service exam." Peng Cheng hurriedly replied.

"You line up here to register first." The soldier pointed to a long line in front of him and said to Peng Cheng.

Peng Cheng thanked him and walked to the end of the line to line up.

Peng Cheng waited in the line for about an hour before it was his turn.

Peng Cheng walked up to a large table with two people sitting behind the table, one of whom said, "What's your name?" How old is it? Where do you live? Can you be famous before? ”

Peng Cheng hurriedly said: "My name is Peng Cheng, twenty-five years old, a native of Fucheng, Shanxi, and a showman. ”

The person next to him picked up the pen and recorded Peng Cheng's information, Peng Cheng, twenty-five years old, Shanxi City, Xiucai, No. 873.

"Why did you come to Xingjing to apply for the civil service examination?" The man asked again.

"I have learned a lot, and I know that I can't take the exam, so I came to Xingjing to take the civil service exam." Peng Cheng said.

"Okay, you take this form and go to Xingjing Middle School to take the exam in three days." The man didn't seem to care about Peng Cheng's answer, and after nodding, he handed a form to Peng Cheng.

Peng Cheng took the form, saluted the man, and then walked down.

Peng Cheng found an inn in Xingjing and stayed there, waiting for the exam in three days.

During the time of waiting, Peng Cheng walked Xingjing everywhere.

Peng Cheng also went to ride a hot air balloon, and when Peng Cheng stood on the hot air balloon and looked at the entire Star Kyoto at his feet, he decided that he must be admitted to the civil service and stay in this magical Star King.

Peng Cheng also watched the carbon arc lamp in Xingjing Square at night, and when he saw this carbon arc lamp like a small sun in the dark night, Peng Cheng was even more determined to stay in Xingjing.

Early in the morning of the third day, Peng Chengcheng prepared everything and came to Xingjing Middle School.

When Peng Cheng came to the outside of Xingjing Middle School, there were already hundreds of people here, and there were still people coming.

By the time the sun was fully revealed, more than 2,000 people had gathered here.

At this time, a group of soldiers approached from a distance, and everyone got out of the way.

Walking in front of the soldier was a tall, thin middle-aged man who walked to the door of Xingjing Middle School and stopped.

I saw him holding a trumpet-shaped object and shouting loudly: "The civil service examination starts now, everyone enters the school, there are tables in the school square, and the tables are numbered and named, and everyone finds a table and sits down according to their number and name." ”

After speaking, they took the lead in entering the school, and the soldiers stood at the gate of the school to maintain order.

When everyone heard this, they walked towards the school, and Peng Cheng also followed the crowd inside.

More than 2,000 tables had been placed in the school's playground, and Peng Cheng quickly found his own table according to his own number.

Half an hour later, everyone had found their tables.

At this time, the soldiers took the test papers and began to distribute them.

Peng Cheng quickly got the test paper, this test paper is very special, this is a kind of paper that Peng Cheng has never seen before, the paper is very white and strong, and a total of 100 questions are written on it.

At this time, the tall and thin middle-aged man just now began to speak again, "There are a total of 100 questions in this test paper, the answer time is one hour, one point for one question, a total of 100 points, and those who reach 60 points are qualified, and they have the qualification to be a civil servant, cheating is strictly prohibited in the exam, and those who find it will be disqualified from the exam!" Let's start answering the questions! ”

It was the first time Peng Cheng had seen this kind of examination method, and he used to write articles for Xiucai.

But Peng Cheng prefers the current method of examination.

Peng Cheng stopped thinking and began to look at the topic carefully.

Question 1: What is the next sentence of "Bright moonlight in front of bed"?

Peng Cheng almost laughed when he saw the first question, this is too simple, and he laughed at the IQ of the person who made the question.

He immediately wrote, "It is suspected that it is frost on the ground." ”

When he saw the second question, he couldn't laugh anymore.

I saw that the second inscription reads: Please write the first ten digits of pi.

Peng Cheng knew pi, but he only knew the three numbers of three points and one four, and he didn't know the rest at all.

Peng Cheng had to skip the second question and go to the third question.

Question 3: When does the orange tree bloom and bear fruit?

Peng Cheng knows this question, he likes to read some miscellaneous studies, and he knows some of this knowledge.

He hurriedly wrote: blooms in April and bears fruit in October.

In this way, Peng Cheng slowly started to do it under the topics of various disciplines, sometimes he was happy, sometimes he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Soon the hour was up, and the soldiers began to come forward to put away the papers.

After all the test papers were collected, the tall and thin middle-aged man opened his mouth and said: "Two days later, go to Xingjing Plaza to check your results, okay, let's go back." ”

When everyone heard this, they all stood up, and sighs were heard everywhere, and it seemed that many people did not do well in the exam.

Peng Cheng was also very worried in his heart, and he didn't know if he could be admitted.

Peng Cheng followed everyone out of the school and returned to the inn with a heavy heart.

Two days later, the results of the civil service examination were announced in Xingjing Square, where a large wall was pasted with the names and numbers of personnel and the test results.

Peng Cheng finally squeezed to the front, he looked at the wall, and quickly found his name in the order of his number, and he looked nervously behind his name.

"Peng Cheng's score of 873 is 89 points."

Peng Cheng was overjoyed when he saw his results, jumped up happily, and kept saying, "I passed!" I passed! ”

The people next to him looked at Peng Cheng with envy when they saw Peng Cheng's appearance.

Zhou Fugui took the civil service examination report card and came to Zhou Xian's mansion.

Zhou Xian was chatting, and when he saw Zhou Fugui coming, he said, "Uncle Zhou, how about the civil servant results?" ”

"A total of 2,125 people took the exam, and only 1,232 passed." Zhou Fugui handed the report card to Zhou Xian and said.

Zhou Xian took the report card and looked at it, only to see that the highest score was only eighty-nine points, and the lowest score was only ten points.

"There are still so many people who fail such a simple question, it seems that there are too many people who read dead books in the Ming Dynasty, and they have no common sense of life at all." Zhou Xian shook his head and said.

"It's already very good to have so many people passing, I looked at your questions, they are all kinds and everything, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to pass the exam." Zhou Fugui smiled bitterly.

"This kind of question can only be regarded as the level of our Xingjing Middle School at most, they can't pass the exam after reading books for so many years, it's really a book for so many years in vain." Zhou Xian said indignantly.

"Don't be too demanding all at once, after all, they are all the first time to come into contact with your kind of questions, and it's normal not to prepare in advance."

Zhou Xian smiled: "That's right, it should be better when we recruit civil servants next year." ”

Zhou Xian glanced at the person with the highest score, whose name was Peng Cheng.

So he said to Zhou Fugui: "Uncle Zhou, you brought this Peng Cheng, I want to meet him." ”

Zhou Fugui said yes and went out.

Peng Cheng couldn't calm down for a long time after seeing the results, and he was still excited after returning to the inn.

Just as he was imagining the future, he suddenly heard the innkeeper knock on the door and say that someone was looking for him outside.

Peng Cheng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly opened the door and walked out, and when he came to the hall of the inn, he saw the tall and thin middle-aged man who presided over the exam last time standing there with two soldiers waiting.
