My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 161

Three gongs sounded, and the gate of the Tribute Court creaked open, and a group of well-armored guards came out to guard the two sides, watching the candidates queuing up.

"Except for food, all candidates are not allowed to bring any items into the venue. Those who violate the rules will be disqualified from the exam, expelled from the Tribute Academy, and will not be allowed to take the exam for three years."

One after another, some students began to enter the gate of the Gongyuan under the inspection of the guards. After stripping off their outer robes, they had to search them personally. Strict inspections are not much less contemptuous than the college entrance examinations of later generations, and even worse. Because of various advanced instruments for inspections, later generations will not take off their coats for inspections.

Seeing that the queue was about to arrive, Young Master Liu, Liu Song took a food box from a servant and handed it over: "Master, outsiders are not allowed to enter the tribute courtyard, and the next step is up to the young master himself. Xiao Song believes that the young master will definitely pass the exam." Yes, young master, come on."

First Young Master Liu took the food box anxiously. At this moment, he actually felt nervous about taking the college entrance examination: "Xiaosong, master, I'm going in."

"Master, go in. You have to take the exam well in these three days, and Xiao Song will pick you up in three days."

Young Master Liu reluctantly bid farewell to Liu Song, and slowly moved forward with the food box. Finally, after the scholar in front of Young Young Master Liu entered the tribute courtyard, Young Master Liu imitated the example and put the food box on a table. On the table.

Two guards stepped forward to open the food box, inside were stacks of delicate snacks, and a lot of fruit, a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper intact, compared to the food boxes of those people in front of Mr. Liu, it can be said to be full of meat and vegetables , the guard glanced at First Young Master Liu in surprise, it was the first time he saw that the things he brought to the exam looked like outings.

After carefully inspecting each snack, nothing was found, the guard closed the food box and said, "Come here, take off your coat."

Young Master Liu stood on a wooden platform, and the guard carefully checked every part of the coat before returning it to Young Master Liu: "It's the same."

"go in."

"Thank you."

The guard glanced at Young Master Liu who entered in surprise, and grinned lightly. It was really unprecedented for a scholar to say thank you to a reckless man like himself.

About half an hour later, more than 1000 students who took the exam gathered in the Gongyuan.I didn't find out how it was when I lined up, but it was a large piece when piled up together.

"All the examinees are quiet and pay homage to Confucius."

The noisy voices began to quiet down, and Qi Run Zhao Fengshou led the officials and students to bow to the statue of Confucius. This is the etiquette that must be held every autumn.

As a sage who penetrates deeply into the hearts of scholars, Confucius is both a kind of respect and a kind of psychological comfort to pay homage to Confucius.

After the worship service, Zhao Fengshou went up to the wooden platform and held a piece of silk cloth in his hand: "The matter of Qiu Wei should not be underestimated, I hope that all candidates must follow the rules of the examination room and strictly copy other students' test papers. There have always been cases of candidates cheating in the examination room, I hope all students will take a warning and the candidates will take their seats."

The yamen servants began to lead the students to the examination room that was divided into a room. After all the candidates entered the examination room, several examiners inspected each other: "It's time, seal the gate, and ask the law office for trespassers."

"Master Song, open the book."

Qi Run nodded, picked up his own key, and unlocked the lock on the wooden box. Several accompanying examiners took out the test papers inside and distributed them to the examinees one by one by the yamen servants.

Every time a test paper is issued, the two chief examiners will follow closely behind and stare at every move of the yamen servants. The matter of Qiu Wei cannot be sloppy.

When he arrived at First Young Master Liu, Liu Mingzhi politely said thank you to the yamen servant. Qi Run at the side seemed to have never seen First Young Master Liu before, and walked past in a dignified manner, just like he did to the examinees in front of him.

Young Master Liu knew that it was unexpected that his father-in-law, as a local official, could become one of the main examiners. He had to avoid suspicion and put himself in the position of assisting Zhao Langzhong. It was meaningless to see him ignoring him. , After all, we still have to avoid suspicion.

After the group of people left, Young Master Liu picked up the test paper and flipped through it. This was the first time in his life that he saw the test paper of the scientific examination. It was no different from what he imagined. There were test questions printed on the test paper. A piece of manuscript paper, to prevent candidates from not having enough manuscript paper due to nervousness, I have to say that the consideration is quite comprehensive.

Young Master Liu put down the test paper in his hand and began to grind the ink. After the ink was uniform, he put the brush aside and began to carefully read the test questions on the test paper.

The first test is about the classics and meanings. One hundred questions are selected from the Four Books and Five Classics. Candidates are required to write corresponding questions based on the articles they have read.

First Young Master Liu found that the test questions above were not as difficult as he imagined, so he took out a piece of manuscript paper and began to write with a pen.

During the exam, time passed most casually. Young Master Liu wrote [-] questions out of [-] questions and did not encounter the slightest difficulty. Every question was reflected in his mind.

Putting down the writing brush, Liu Mingzhi stretched his waist only to realize that it was already dusk, and the examination room was also dark. He shook his head and smiled wryly: "Master, I am really fascinated. I can't pull myself out of the test paper."

Carefully putting the test paper aside, First Young Master Liu opened his food box. After half a day passed, he didn't eat a single bite of food, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

Picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffing it into his mouth, the rich fragrance bloomed in his mouth: "Well, that girl Ying'er made this, other people can't make this kind of taste."

After eating a few pieces of cakes in a row, he didn't feel so empty in his stomach. Liu Mingzhi tore off the oil paper wrapping the roasted chicken again, took off a piece of chicken leg and ate it.

The aroma of roast chicken filled the entire examination room.

"Brother next door, can you wrap it tightly when eating roast chicken? I'm eating dry biscuits here. If you eat roast chicken, the smell is too strong. Is this a human thing?"

"Yes, yes, brother, your food is too good. We all eat dry biscuits, and the taste of your roast chicken is too great."

"Speaking is prohibited." A yamen servant came over and looked at the three of Liu Mingzhi seriously: "If the three of you continue discussing in private, I will report it to the examiner."

The other two hurriedly fell silent and gnawed on the pancakes in their hands. First Young Master Liu also put down the chicken leg in his hand and laughed a few times. I also guessed why the three people here were talking.

"Why are you standing in front of the candidates?" A serious voice came, and the yamen servant was shocked: "Return to the adults, a candidate has caused trouble by eating chicken legs, and the younger one has already warned them." The person who came was the official patrolling the examination room. Zhao Fengshou, a member of the Ministry of foreign affairs.

Zhao Fengshou waved his hand: "Continue to patrol, don't touch candidates, don't whisper with candidates."

After the yamen servant walked away, Zhao Fengshou looked at the examination rooms and test papers of the other two candidates respectively, and then went to Young Master Liu's examination room after finding nothing alike.

"En?" Zhao Fengshou was taken aback when he saw Young Master Liu's test paper.
