On the day of the examination, no rooster crow.

Li Shutong has long been accustomed to getting up at this time, preparing the necessary things, looking forward to whether her husband can come back.

Since that day, Mr. has disappeared like this every once in a while, and Li Shutong does not know where Mr. has gone. If the gentleman doesn't say, she won't ask.

It's just that I've never been able to go home overnight like today.

With the long crowing of the rooster, the door was pushed open, and the gentleman finally returned.

"What is a saint?"

The gentleman shook the hat, leaving some traces of water on the ground, and then hung it on the wall, ticking.

It was raining before dawn, and Mr.'s clothes were a little soaked.

He untied his robe, hung it aside, and sat down with his hands on the table.

Before it was full of light, the candle flame on the table flickered on the gentleman's face, and he looked a little red.

The gentleman looked at Li Shutong quietly, and asked again, "What is a saint?"

I finally looked forward to my husband's homecoming, but I wanted to continue yesterday's topic, Li Shutong was a hundred unhappy, thinking that Mr. didn't care if I slept well yesterday, didn't he care about today's exam?

Being stared at like this by Mr., Li Shutong was a little embarrassed, puffed out her cheeks angrily, and walked to Mr. silently. She exhaled and said, "Heavenly Purity." ”

The gentleman said, "Heaven is holy?"

Li Shutong thought for a while and said, "This saint is a saint who has a hundred miles of vision. ”

The gentleman said, "The far one is holy?"

Li Shutong was silent for a while, and said: "Rank and rank Dayou, the saint Mo Zhi." ”

The gentleman pointed to the north and said, "The emperor is holy?"

Li Shutong bit her lip and thought for a longer time, and said, "The saint is not benevolent. ”

The gentleman smiled in surprise and nodded, and said, "It's not bad, but this shouldn't be what you imagined." ”

Li Shutong grabbed his temples, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Those who are good to me are saints, and those who are not good to me are ...... What the hell is going on with me?"

The gentleman was provoked by this answer and slapped the table, and Li Shutong's face turned red and shrunk into a ball.

The morning light that illuminated the capital seemed to shine brighter, breaking through the screen window and falling between the teacher and student.

The candle flame went out and turned into a puff of smoke.

The gentleman beckoned and said, "Sit down and I'll comb your hair." ”

I sit here to give you a hug.

Comb your hair to apologize in your ear.

I'm sorry.

Leaving you alone.

There will be no next time.

......

It doesn't make sense for Mr. to comb her hair, and everyone Chu has to comb it again, but Li Shutong is somehow very excited, like a bear child.

Then, he was scolded.

The examination only started at the beginning of the year, and Li Shutong was very reluctant to leave the Swallow Building, and the examination room was not far away, and there was more than enough time.

It's just that she's never been there, and it's always a little uneasy to take an unfamiliar road, which reminds her of the events of the second day in the capital, and she is full of excitement. The irresponsible gentleman only told her: just follow the crowd.

Thinking of this section, Li Shutong snorted dissatisfiedly, her cheeks bulged, and her uneasiness suddenly dissipated.

However, what the gentleman said was not wrong, there were many people who were going in one direction at this time, including the candidates, the city guards, and the people watching the excitement.

The examination of the Tang Kingdom is not rigid, but it is a very lively thing, especially the liberal arts.

Everyone wants to know what the last question of this year's book course is.

This question was asked by the emperor himself, and only the emperor himself and the director of this year's examination department know the answer.

Sixteen years ago, this was the responsibility of the Holy Book Building.

It is said that there was once someone who won the praise of the Holy Book Building on this topic, so he entered the building to practice, and finally became a generation of emperors.

What an amazing thing that is.

Today's Sacred Book Building is not as big as it used to be, and everything in the past was taken over by the Ministry of Rites, including the examination, but it is still a grand event.

The Holy Book Building should be divided into an inner building and an outer building.

The cultivators who came out of the inner building were amazing, and the gentlemen who came out of the outer building were also amazing, and it was an extremely honorable thing for the people of the Tang Kingdom to be able to become their students or even a member.

The outer building is separated from the inner building by a tall building.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood by the window of the tall building, watching the endless stream of students arrive thoughtfully. He retracted his gaze and said, "It's good that Lord Cai is in charge of the Kaoke, why do you want to count me this time?"

"I'm the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this matter is indeed within my jurisdiction, and it's hard for me to refuse if the emperor opens the golden mouth, but what's the matter with you?"

The man in black is Dali Siqing, who has only been in office for three years, named Li No.

Li Fu's body is skinny, weak and can't help the wind, his eyelids are still drooping, his eyes are dodgy, and he yawns from time to time, giving people an extremely lazy and unconfident feeling.

Listening to Master Shangshu's question, he couldn't help but stand up straight, and said with a wry smile: "We don't know, we're still strange, it's okay for us to break trivial cases on weekdays, we can't do such a grand event." ”

He said, "I heard that your student is also here? Which one is it? Are you sure how many first-class ones will you get?"

Li Wei said: "Our family is not a good person, and he is clamoring to take the exam without having a few skills, and it is good to ask him to wait for a few years and not listen, and not to be ashamed." ”

I don't have anything to say, I think you are a three-grade Dali Siqing, who doesn't know your methods in the past three years, and you are deeply valued by the emperor, why are you so unconfident in speaking?

Thinking about it, he turned his gaze to Lord Cai beside him.

Lord Cai is the direct ruler of the outer building of the Holy Book Building, Cai sacrifices wine, and his status is not high, but his status is extremely valuable.

Cai Xianjiu was old and his ears were not very sharp, so he didn't notice the conversation between the two of them, and kept looking out the window, with a kind smile on his face.

Li Wei was still standing in the shadows, smiling and not speaking.

He shook his head helplessly, looked out the window again, and suddenly seemed to notice something, and said, "Although there is no age limit for the examination, he is too young, right?"

At this time, Li Wei walked up to take a look and knew that the adult was talking about the boy with a small face, so he laughed unconsciously and said, "If we remember correctly...... He appears to be sixteen years old. ”

Cai Saijiu's smile changed and became more cheerful.

"Sixteen years old is not the same as small?"

I couldn't help but wonder, what are you laughing at?
