Chapter 14 Entering the Examination Room
Xiao Ye was well aware of Zhang Jianzhi's name. When he turned around, he saw that he was about sixty years old, with half-white hair and a straight back, a clear face, and bright eyes.
"Thank you, Tang Zun, it's Meng Lang!"
Xiao Ye immediately let go of his feet and bowed to Zhang Jianzhi.
Zhang Jianzhi stroked his gray beard and felt secretly satisfied.
After a few words, he almost got the man's words and obviously understood his own meaning. If he was an old man in the officialdom, it would not be surprising to have such a behavior, but Xiao Ye is only a sixteen-year-old boy.
In addition, Xiao Ye seized Shi Jin's handle and snatched him up on the spot. Such a person is born to be an official, and he does not hesitate to the enemy and does not hesitate to attack him mercilessly!
Zhang Jianzhi admired Xiao Ye more and more. This is not only a rare talent, but also a sharp blade in Qingliu's hand. If it swings, blood will splash five steps!
Of course, he wanted to continue to examine Xiao Ye's character. What Qingliu could give Xiao Ye was nothing more than fame and righteousness, while others could give wealth, power and beauty more!
If Xiao Ye tends to fall, he would rather destroy Xiao Ye than leave it to the enemy!
When doing things, Qingliu is often more ruthless than corrupt officials, because they stick to their ideals and use all means to achieve their goals. They are fundamentalists with political stance.
"Yeah, go!"
Zhang Jianzhi smiled and waved.
"Students say goodbye!"
Xiao Ye didn't expect that Zhang Jianzhi would arrange his life path for him in a flash, bowed his hand, and turned around and left.
"Bring back to the county government!"
Zhang Jianzhi's face turned cold and he turned around and shouted.
"yes!"
The two followers stepped forward, pulled out the rope, and tied the man up.
The man was so scared that he trembled all over and kept calling the people wronged, and the people wronged, but he didn't dare to struggle until he was taken away.
Two women across the street patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It almost went bad!"
"Yes, if Xiao Lang hadn't been good at it, I wouldn't know how to explain to his wife!"
"Hey, we have been practicing Taoism since childhood, but we are not even as good as ordinary people!"
"Don't be discouraged. We just lack the ability to practice hard. This time, the wife let us out is giving us the opportunity to experience. We can't let such a thing happen again!"
"We have to keep an eye on him!"
...
At night, fine raindrops floated up in the sky, changing the warmth and brightness of the past few days, and the biting cold wind blew in my face. Even if I wrapped my clothes tightly, the cold air was still everywhere.
"Ye'er, there's another next time if you don't win this time, don't be anxious!"
While flattening the wrinkles on Xiao Ye’s long gown, Du told him sincerely.
"Don't worry, aunt, I'm only sixteen, so there's no hurry!"
Xiao Ye smiled, but in fact he sighed in his heart that if he failed this exam, the clan would definitely remarry Du to Xiao Rang. Du himself knew that, he just didn't want to put too much pressure on himself.
"Brother, you can do it!"
Qiao Niang's eyes were full of admiration and she waved her fist.
"Auntie, then I'll go!"
Xiao Ye nodded with a smile, then gave Du a deep bow before he picked up the exam basket, held up the oil-paper umbrella, and left the house at night.
Du couldn't help but hug Qiaoniang and watched Xiao Ye, her beautiful eyes were filled with deep anxiety. Until Xiao Ye disappeared from her sight, the mother and daughter were still standing still like sculptures, even though the cold wind and cold rain rushed into the house.
The street was pitch black, and only the sparse savage wind lights under the eaves guided the direction. Xiao Yeshen stepped on the mud and water with one foot shallow. His cloth shoes were half wet and his toes were cold. But what he was even more worried about was still attacked and he was careful when walking the road. Although he couldn't see the six directions, he listened to all directions.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. When Xiao Ye arrived at the county school, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the name was not released until the fifth update, the county school was already dark near the third update, and the examination room was blocked. Under the illumination of lanterns, there were four or five thousand candidates alone, as well as families and servants who were sent to the examination, which exceeded 10,000.
Compared with the scenes of the college entrance examination in previous life, it is even better than that.
The number of yamen runners in the county was insufficient, and the soldiers were transferred, wearing soft armor, carrying treasure knives, and holding spears. Teams of them were paraded by. No one dared to make noise, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Xiao Ye looked around and didn't see Chen Zi'ang and Zhang Jian. He lost his thoughts of meeting with him and turned to look at him.
The boys are mostly young people in their twenties. There are not many people of their age, and there are also thirty or forty years old, and even sixty-six-year-olds. In fact, they have become indifferent to fame and fortune. After all, the court uses people and chooses young people as much as possible, mainly because of the obsession in the heart.
"Zhang Changgeng!"
Perhaps it was a cold night, and the head of the county school hailed the name in advance, and nearly a hundred students were surrounded by the imperial examination.
A student entered the venue in turn.
"Xiao Ye!"
After hundreds of people, they clicked Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye stepped under the eaves, put the umbrella in hand, and handed it to the official to inspect it, and someone else searched, from his hair bun to his clothes, he had to take off his shoes, and searched meticulously.
Although this kind of search has a certain shameful nature, everyone is like this, and Xiao Ye has nothing to say. At the same time, this is still a way to destroy the arrogance of students, telling you what it means to enter the official school as deep as the sea!
After the search was completed, another official sang loudly: "Zhu Yufang's student guarantee!"
Zhu Xiucai, who was the guard of Xiao Ye, held the lights and looked at it. He confirmed that it was himself, and then sang: "Zhu Yufang's student in the imperial examination, Baolanling Xiao Ye!"
"You can go in, and take the seat according to the seating order on the receipt!"
The official returned the exam basket to Xiao Ye and nodded.
Xiao Ye entered the examination room.
This is not the first time he entered the examination room, but it is the first time he entered the ancient examination room. As soon as he entered the door, he felt like he was being targeted by something. According to the old patriarch's notes, every institution in the Tang Dynasty was suppressed by Emperor Wenchang to prevent candidates from cheating with magic. Any fluctuations in magic can be captured by Emperor Wenchang unless the position is higher than Emperor Wenchang.
Just to put it back, what is the need for a god with a higher level than the Emperor Wenchang to cheat in the examination room on earth?
Therefore, in the hundreds of years when Emperor Wen of Sui prescribed the imperial examination and won the imperial examination, except for the occasional incidents of random magic tests in the early Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, they were basically safe.
The examination room is divided into twelve districts according to the heavenly stems, and Xiao Ye is No. 36, Ding District.
Just like the exam room in my previous life, with all the road signs and signs, Xiao Ye soon found his seat.
It is impossible for Tongsheng to have separate test rooms like the village poems, with seats distributed among the school and the temporary test booth. Xiao Ye is still lucky to take the exam in the school, so he doesn't have to blow the cold wind in the test booth.
When I walked into the school, I saw that there were acquaintances, including Lu Wen, Huang Wenguang, and several students who had appeared in Wangjiang Tower and could not name them.
He probably figured it out. It is obviously not random to arrange seats in the examination room. The county will first make a rough assessment of thousands of students, thinking that you may pass the exam and arrange relatively good exam conditions. This is also a hidden rule. On a roughly fair basis, it provides as many conveniences as possible for students with excellent academic performance.
