prosperous age

Chapter 55
Carefully copy the answer sheet. To be honest, it's still early. The application time should be less than three o'clock in the afternoon. After Wei Guangde finished today's exam, he naturally considered whether to hand in the exam.

Repeated inspection, if it does not exist, if it is copied, there will be no changes, unless the entire paper is copied again. Unlike later generations, the paper or answer sheet can be scratched or erased.

Glancing at the others, there are actually a few people who have handed in the papers at this moment, but looking at their appearance after they came out, they all seemed to be downcast. Wei Guangde probably wanted to compete for the first prize, but ended up falling apart with Tang Xianzun to good.

I re-read what I wrote, and I didn't make any mistakes, and I seemed to have maintained my relatively good level.

Speaking of the traditional Chinese characters used now, sometimes Wei Guangde accidentally writes them in the simplified characters of later generations. There is no way, it is a habit formed over ten years, so when Wei Guangde checks the paper, the first thing to do is whether there are any typos.

As for today's paper, if you hand it over to Mrs. Sun, you should be satisfied and nod along your beard.

Wei Guangde didn't want to wait any longer.

He wants to hand in the paper.

It is also a torment for him to continue to sit in the examination room.

Confirming again and again that he did not write simplified characters, Wei Guangde gritted his teeth and got up, holding a stack of examination papers in both hands, nodded to a yamen servant who was staring at him in and out, and then walked to the lobby.

Wei Guangde didn't know if Tang Xianzun had been sitting here all the time, but he was here at this time. After all, it was afternoon and some candidates had to hand in papers.

But when Wei Guangde walked in, what he saw was Tang Xianzun propping his left hand on the desk as if he was dozing off, there was no paper in front of him, and there was a pile of papers stacked far away beside him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Xianzun immediately sat up straight, and after Wei Guangde put the paper in front of him, Tang Xianzun only nodded.

"You can leave now."

A very perfunctory sentence, obviously he didn't have a good impression of Wei Guangde, a candidate who handed in his papers early.

Wei Guangde originally thought about staying below, to see what the Tang Xianzun would do when he saw his paper.

I remember the novel I read on the Internet before. After the protagonist traveled through time, he completed the answer sheet. When the examiner saw it, he immediately bowed and bowed, shouting "No. [-] paper".

Well, even if it’s not so exaggerated, you can also draw a circle on my paper, okay, just click on me, I’m from time travel, the protagonist.

Wei Guangde shouted in his heart.

But at this time, he naturally couldn't stay in the hall anymore, the county lord had already let him go.

A little disappointed.

Wei Guangde turned around and walked out of the hall step by step slowly, but listened to the sound behind him with his ears open, as long as Tang Xianzun made a slight sound, Wei Guangde would turn his head back immediately.

It's a pity that until he walked from outside the examination room to the county government gate, he didn't hear any noise from the county magistrate, let alone left him to say a few words.

Walking out of the gate of the county yamen, Wei Guangde really wanted to learn the plots in the novels he had read, whether he yelled at the gate of the county yamen that "this subject must be passed" or some other bold words, but looking at the scene outside the yamen, Wei Guangde consciously Without saying a word, make a meaningless action.

Nima's, there is no one outside the county yamen at this time, who will you show it to, and who will you tell it to?
If he really yelled out, he would probably be regarded as a crazy candidate by the yamen servant in the door.

But it's really strange, Wei Guangde thought to himself.

Uncle said he would come to pick him up, why is there no one outside?
Later generations still have to send and receive exams, why is it not allowed in the Ming Dynasty?
Even the few people who came out earlier were not seen at the moment.

In the past, after the exam, you didn't have to check the answers outside the exam room.

Desolately coldly desolately.

Stretching his hands left and right, doing a chest expansion exercise, he was about to walk away with his hands behind his back, when Wei Guangde withdrew his hands, he was stunned.

I wiped, I forgot the test basket in the test room.

When Wei Guangde walked to the door of the house within a few steps with the test basket in hand, he saw the groom in front of the door was arranging the frame of the bicycle.

The carriage is still here, so the uncle should still be at home, why didn't he pick him up?

Although the examination room is very close to home, we also have cars, so why do we rely on our legs?
The coachman also saw Wei Guangde, and when he approached, he quickly bowed and saluted, and shouted, "Master Biao is auspicious, Master Biao must be the first person in the case"

In fact, it was just a greeting, and the rest were all imagined by Wei Guangde himself.

But when he passed by the coachman, Wei Guangde still saw a little bit of that meaning in his eyes.

Wei Guangde knew that along the way he had seen many people look at him like this.

Although there are no people at the gate of the county government office, it is in the center of the county town after all, and the downtown area is only a few steps away, with people coming and going.

Maybe if it wasn't for today's county examination, there would still be people walking around outside the yamen, and street vendors would be hawking around there. The income and consumption of the palace people in the county yamen are not low, at least in Pengze County.

"Hi uncle, I'm back."

As he approached the house, he saw his uncle standing outside the main door, and his mother and aunt standing inside the door, as if he was about to go out.

"Mother, auntie, I'm back from the exam."

Wei Guangde immediately walked in with the test basket and smiled.

"That's the end of the exam? Don't check too much."

Wei Wushi was taken aback when he saw his son entering the door, and muttered in his mouth.

"Just finish the exam. Today's exam questions should be easy. Guangde came back so early."

Uncle Wu Zhankui was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he said.

"It's quite simple, I've done it in private schools before."

Wei Guangde walked up to them and said.

"Walk, go in and say, Guangde is tired after a day of exams, take a good rest these two days, and wait for the county exam to release the results."

The uncle snatched the test basket from Wei Guangde's hand and dragged him inside.

Naturally, Wei Guangde didn't want his uncle to take the test basket, but his uncle's action was too aggressive, so he snatched the test basket from him with a "shua".

This made Wei Guangde sigh in his heart, the people in the officialdom reached out really fast.

The cheerful atmosphere was not broken until the night's rest.

At this time, uncle and aunt had gone back to sleep, and Mother Wei followed Wei Guangde to the door of his bedroom, and when Wei Guangde entered the room, she suddenly asked: "Guangde, did you fail the exam this time? "

Well, Wei Guangde has already felt it before, his mother and uncle seem to be a little forced to smile.

After all, for such a young person, taking part in the county examination, I didn't see white-haired candidates carrying examination baskets into the examination room with the support of their sons or grandchildren every year.

Previously, Wei Guangde also picked good ones and said that he was seeking truth from facts. This time the exam questions are really not difficult.

Unfortunately, no one believed it.

At this time, Mother Wei finally asked.
