Kaifeng Gongyuan.

The Central Plains scholars who had been exhausted by the examinations for many consecutive days were all silently waiting for the gantry to open.

He Zhihui and Zhao Dean supported each other, trembling in the cold wind.

The weather was already cold after Mid-Autumn Festival, but the temperature dropped sharply in the past few days, which made the scholars even more miserable.

Fortunately, there was no rain or snow.

He Zhihui and Zhao Dean had cold hands, but they were extremely hot in their hearts.

Because they know that as long as they leave this Dragon Gate today, the time when the results are released in half a month, it will be the day when glory is added.

Who said that the questions in this exam are set by the main test?

The two of them knew it early on, and had plenty of time to prepare and refer to other people's art-making articles, and had a slight understanding of the one in the examination room. If they still couldn't do it like this, then we should stop the dream of the imperial examination as soon as possible.

But even so, the two of them are in a bad situation now.

Who said that this provincial examination is too harsh?

First of all, it is August, so it is called the autumn examination. The exam is divided into three more games, with the ninth day of the first day, the twelfth day and the fifteenth day as the main game. Candidates enter the day before each main game and appear on the next day, and the situation lasts for eight or nine days.

The first exam is the Four Books and Five Classics, which uses the eight-part essay, which is called the craftsmanship, also known as the craftsmanship, the craftsmanship, and the craftsmanship. The second exam is a essay on the strategy, which judges the five ways, edicts, edicts, and selects the one way, which is very advantageous for the children of officials; the third exam is the classics, history, and current affairs.

Although the three exams took a long time, the number of questions was also very large, and the time was not very abundant. There were many taboos in it, such as some unusable words, such as the papers that must be clean and untainted, and for example, the size of the papers should be placed on large numbers.

It is risky to even have a large number in the examination room, because then you will be left with a stamp on your test paper, which people at that time call it a shit poke. Once it is left, it will be derogatory by the examiner in nature. That means it is almost impossible to be won.

"Cousin Ming..."

Zhang Jing's voice came from behind. He Zhihui and Zhao Dean, who were supporting each other, looked at each other, and could see the shame in each other's eyes.

The three of them came to Kaifeng for the exam together, but for the sake of insurance and safety, they both insisted on giving up Zhang Jing, which made them extremely sorry for Zhang Jing.

But when the two turned around and saw Zhang Jingsheng's lively appearance, although they were all ashamed of Zhang Jing, they still couldn't help but envy Zhang Jing.

It is indeed a boy skill that has been trained since childhood? It is indeed much better than them.

Among the people He Zhihui raised, Zhang Jing was the best of his origin. His grandfather was a juren and a two-county magistrate? Although his father was just a scholar, he was good at managing common affairs and managed the Zhang family in a prosperous manner.

It is also because his grandfathers were all scholars? After suffering from the exam room, Zhang Jing was strictly disciplined by his parents since he was a child. After being over ten years old, every August and February? In the autumn examinations and spring examinations, Zhang Jing would be sent to a small courtyard in the Zhang family by his father. There was an examination room there, no matter how high or small, it was exactly the same as a regular tribute college entrance examination room? Zhang Jing was sent to the exam twice a year.

Not only do you know the rules and requirements of the exam room? Even your health has improved a lot.

And he is very skilled in grasping the rhythm of time.

Don’t think that this is nothing, in fact, Zhang Jing takes advantage of it.

Don’t look at He Zhihui. Zhao Dean and the other two can still stand. In the side door of the examination room, there are countless scholars who cannot hold on to the body in these three exams.

Zhang Jing was full of excitement at this time. It was obvious that he did a good job in this exam. He Zhao and the others relieved their guilt a little bit? But neither of them thought that Zhang Jing would pass the exam.

Everyone is a person who knows the truth, and who doesn’t know who.

Zhang Jing’s article is not as strong as He Zhihui and Zhao Dean? In the provincial examination, all three of them were unnamed on the deputy list. This subject is calculated according to normal rules? It would be a big improvement for three people to make the deputy list.

When we came to Kaifeng, the gentlemen from the academy thought they had little hope? Although they didn't say that, everything is possible? But the meaning is that they can't understand it very much.

"The dragon gate is open, the dragon gate is open..."

A noise sounded, and He Zhihui and the other two quickly looked up, but the three of them were so sensible that they forgot about the "main business".

After walking out of the gantry, the three of them saw that the outside was covered with dark heads, and the scholar's family, the book boy, the servants, and the coachman were all standing outside the gantry.

Seeing that the dragon gate was opened, many people were surging, hoping to get their children as soon as possible.

It's similar to the college entrance examination in later generations.

"Uncle He!"

He Zhihui heard the shouting, but saw the shopkeeper of Kaifeng Songhe Tower and a row of servants waving to him with his feet raised.

Seeing this scene, He Zhihui became happy immediately.

No matter what the results of this provincial examination are, the shopkeeper Chen from Songhelou serves them so well.

"Please trouble Manager Chen."

The shopkeeper said no trouble, then waved his hand, and the servants behind him rushed up, took the three of them to take the test basket, carried He Zhihui and Zhao Dean onto the carriage, and drove directly to Songhe Tower.

Hot water, clean clothes, and sumptuous meals are all prepared by Songhe Tower. But in addition to Zhang Jing, he can also cheer up and eat and drink, but He Zhihui and Zhao De'an have no luck to save them.

The two of them had been exhausted and had a cold and had no appetite at all.

Songhe Tower is a top-notch restaurant in Kaifeng City. After the three consecutive exams, all the scholars put down their previous heavy weight, and some of them became unrestrained.

This is like the students after the college entrance examination in later generations. No matter how good or bad the exam is, I will play happily for a few days first.

And there is no such person in the Songhe Tower.

They talked loudly and boasted themselves. They bragged about each other, as if the fame of juren was enough to win.

Xu Yanhui glanced at the group of scholars with contempt, a group of shameless eunuchs, no matter how far away he was, he could smell the smell.

Xu Yanguang on the other side also pointed at the people disdainfully and said, "Brother, why do you think these people are so shameless and rely on their family power to jump here, aren't you afraid of being a joke after the results will be released tomorrow?"

"Half-barrel jingle, we don't have to pay attention to these people."

After experiencing the family's upheaval, Xu Yanhui became more calm and more calm. Anyway, their brothers were not targeting these people. If he hadn't happened to catch up, he wouldn't even have the interest to look at these people at a glance.

Xu Yanhui, who was born in Jiangnan, was a well-known talented man in the local area. If he hadn't suffered a huge change two years ago, he would have ended up trying his skills now.
