Bachelor

Chapter 75
Sun Hao's laughter didn't matter, but it alarmed an official invigilating the examination.

The official ran over angrily and said angrily, "What's the noise, don't you want to take the exam?"

Sun Hao's complexion changed drastically. Making noise in the examination room is a serious matter. If you annoy the examiners, you may be kicked out of the examination room and disqualified as an examinee.

Sun Dan saw that Sun Hao's frightened fat face was covered with beads of sweat for an instant.

Seeing that something bad is about to happen, a bigger change will happen.

There was only a long cry, and the white-haired old boy in the room next to Sun Hao suddenly burst into tears: "God, heaven, I think Lin Tiancai was enlightened at the age of six, and passed the county examination at the age of ten. , is known as an unworldly genius in Shandong. But he was stuck in the college examination for 40 years. God, in order to study, I sold all my ancestral property, and I didn’t eat three meals. However, so many years have passed, and I can't pass the exam. I don't have a few years to live. I wanted to try my best this year, so I can get some fame. Even if I die, I will meet my ancestors underground. Confession. But, today's question...today's question..."

"Today's question looks familiar to me, but I don't know a single word. God, after studying for a lifetime, why can't I know how to read..."

Sun Dan and Sun Hao looked at each other in amazement, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with the old man's spirit.

Sure enough, after the old boy shouted a few times, he suddenly stood up and kicked over the table on his body, then tore off the cotton robe on his body, and rushed out through the wooden fence of the door with his thin upper body. Shouting to the sky: "Which one of these questions was written by killing thousands of swords, how can you come up with all kinds of strange and difficult questions!"

This fact attracted everyone's attention, and Sun Dan saw countless slender necks protruding from several rows of test rooms at the same time.

Seeing the chaos in the examination room, the invigilator's face turned pale with fright, and he kept shouting: "Candidates should go back to the examination room. Don't talk nonsense, otherwise they will all be kicked out of the examination room. "Know Your Place", it's that simple I don’t know any Chinese characters, so what are you taking the exam for? Someone, tie up this lunatic for me.”

Although the examiner doesn't know what collective unconsciousness is, after all, he has been studying politics in the academic field for so many years, and he knows that if this old boy is allowed to continue to make trouble at this time, he is afraid that something serious will happen.

There were more than 2000 people gathered in the examination room, and everyone's nerves were highly tense, and if there was a slight disturbance, they would immediately make a fuss subconsciously.Just like bombing camps in the army, there is talk of bombing camps in the examination room.

The imperial examination is not only related to a person's future and destiny, but also sometimes related to the future of a family or even a family.

If this old boy screwed up this exam, all the examiners, including Wang Yuanzheng, would be put on the job, and dismissal and fines would be indispensable. It can be said that their futures would be ruined.On a more serious note, being accused of fraud in the examination room by a political opponent may even have his head chopped off.

Knowing how serious it was, several yamen servants rushed up and pressed the bare-chested old man to the ground, tied them up in a big way, blocked his mouth with a ball of sackcloth, and threw them into the room, which calmed down the examination room.

After this change, all the candidates felt the same way, and the atmosphere in the examination room became serious.

"You can answer the paper." Sun Dan sighed, added some water to the inkstone, slowly ground the ink, and nodded to Sun Hao again.

Seeing Sun Dan's calmness, Sun Hao's chaotic heart also settled down, imitating Sun Dan's appearance, took a deep breath, and rubbed his ink slowly.Gradually, he gradually entered the state.

The other candidates also calmly prepared for the exam when they heard the sound of people rubbing ink.

For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with the sound of rubbing ink ingots and inkstones.

……

Outside the Gongyuan, by the Daming Lake, the people who had sent Sun Dan to take the exam before had not dispersed.

In fact, some people planned to leave, but because so many gathered here, they attracted countless crowds who didn't know the truth. Gradually, the number of people not only did not decrease, but increased.

"Go back, go back, there's nothing exciting to watch."

Even though people who understand the truth are shouting loudly, people still have no intention of moving.

Soon, someone with a bamboo flat on his head came to sell: "Newly steamed steamed buns, white noodles from Dongping, handicrafts from the Mu family in Luoguo Lane from Jinan!"

"One of the steamed buns from the Mu family."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

"Grilled fish, grilled fish from Daming Lake."

"Rock sugar lotus seed soup, not sweet, no money."

……

There is the sound of the huqin, and occasionally the hoarse singing of the old storyteller: "Masters, gather around and listen to the old man tell a story about Sun Xingzhe being crushed on the Five Elements Mountain."

"Listen to the story, tell it quickly."

"Let's say that this story was originally written by a Penglai mountain man. Do you know who this Penglai mountain man is?"

"Who is it?" Hearing someone's story, hundreds of people gathered around.asked in unison.

The storyteller pointed to the Gong Yuan and said, "According to rumors, the talented man who wrote the story of Journey to the West is Sun Dan from the Sun family, who is also the young genius of the Sun family that Scholar Xiao Yang said. Today, the young genius Sun He is taking a scholar test outside, and with his talent, he should be able to pinch the snail with three fingers in this subject—surely."

"It turned out to be him. He really is a boy genius from Shandong who can write such wonderful stories." Everyone shouted.

The huqin in Mr. Storyteller's hand stopped, and he said again: "Masters and elders, today I will tell the story written by Sun Xiaocai, and then wait for the young talent to come back triumphantly from the tribute courtyard after the high school scholar, do you agree?"

"Okay!" Everyone yelled in awe: "Among the young talents, there was nothing wrong with the talented students in Jinke at that time. I will be here to witness."

"So, please, gentlemen, those who have money will give it to the market, and those who have no money will give it to the market. Thank you, thank you!" The storytellers bowed in groups.

There are copper coins thrown over like raindrops.

Just as the lecture was about to start, someone over there suddenly yelled loudly: "Come and see, the actors from the Sanxiao Troupe are setting up a stage over there, and they say they are going to perform "The Story of Huansha", ten copper coins per performance." .”

"Just go there after listening to "Journey to the West". Today is a fun day, even more lively than that temple fair."

……

Snack sellers, opera singers, and storytellers continued to join this grand celebration, and there were more and more people, and the Gongyuan was full of water.

In the examination room, an examiner ran up to Wang Yuanzheng worriedly, and said with a look of horror, "My lord, there are a lot of people outside, just like a concert, do you want to disperse them?"

Wang Yuanzheng was holding a book in his hand and was engrossed in reading it. He stroked his beard and said, "What do you want to disperse them? Let them be lively. In Shandong, the style of writing is at its peak. This is the result of the emperor's enlightenment. "Speaking of this, Wang Yuanzheng laughed loudly: "I will report to the imperial court and ask for credit for Shandong Xuezheng Yamen."

After laughing, Wang Yuanzheng nodded gratifiedly: "Sun Dan is the only one who can cause such a big commotion in a mere hospital examination. It seems that Sun Danzhong, the current scholar, is what everyone expects. I hope that our little genius Sun will not Let me down. Go see what he's doing now, has he started answering questions yet?"

After a while, the examiner ran back and reported, "My lord, Sun Dan is sleeping."

"This kid." Wang Yuanzheng shook his head helplessly: "He really can hold his breath!"

Wang Yuanzheng was also a little worried, the college examination system was strict.After each examinee's paper is handed in, it must be transcribed by a special person, and then the name will be pasted on it.Even if he wanted to let him go, he didn't know which paper Sun Dan got.

I hope he can be selected by his own handwriting and become a scholar.Otherwise, not only would he and Yang Shen be helpless, but even the people of Jinan would be disappointed.
