Chapter 1120 The Results of the College Examination Are Released

Qu Xiucai also told Qu Wenliang: "Brother Liang, your knowledge is good. Keep it steady and you will definitely pass the exam. Remember what Brother An taught you, you have to punch and move every day so that you can sleep peacefully." If you feel sleepy or get smoked due to a bad number, just...smell it."

Before coming, Gu Jinan sprayed a potion on the inner sleeves of several people that had a very weak smell but a strong awakening effect, which could help them.

However, there were many people here, including children from all the Jianghuai prefectures, so it was difficult for Qu Xiucai to speak clearly.

Qu Wenliang nodded: "Well, uncle, don't worry, my nephew knows."

Shang Xiucai said to Gu Jinan: "Master is the most at ease with you. As long as you take the exam well, you will definitely pass."

But what Gu Jinan wants this time is not only to be admitted as a scholar, he also wants a junior San Yuan... In the past, he thought it didn't matter if he was a junior or not, but now he has fallen in love with a girl from a noble family. Although she is a girl from Mr. Ouyang's family, But if he didn't have any skills, he wouldn't be able to keep up with her.

Shang Xiucai saw He Jinsheng and Gu Dexing looking at them with envy, and smiled at them: "You are all very knowledgeable. During this period, you have been studying hard with Mr. Ouyang. As long as you don't make mistakes, you have a good chance of passing the exam." .”

Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng were relieved when they heard this, especially He Jinsheng. He had not escaped from the famine and was frightened by the robbers. Even after taking the Anshen Dingjing Pills, he had nightmares for two days. It took a few days to get better.

Lu Bai was no different from He Jinsheng. He also had nightmares for a few days. He even went to the latrine at night and had to be accompanied by Yao Youqian.

"What are you doing? If you are not a candidate, please leave quickly, otherwise we will suspect that you are here to control us!" The yamen servant was patrolling back and forth. When he saw Mr. Xu and so many people gathered together, he quickly scolded them and told them to stand. Go behind the wooden fence.

"Brother Ming, if you take the exam well, grandpa won't accompany you anymore." Mr. Xu said to Xu Zhaoming, then turned around and stuffed a bag of money into the head of the government office. His movements were so smooth.

The head of the yamen team responded more smoothly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, we will keep an eye on it for you, and we won't let those who are short-sighted try to trick your children."

The money bag is quite heavy, at least fifty taels. He is a high roller, so they will naturally do their best.

After hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded with a smile, hurriedly greeted his servants, and took Shang Xiucai and them away.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The official was still banging the gong and shouting: "The auspicious time has come, the candidates are lining up to enter the dragon gate! Other idlers are waiting to leave quickly, otherwise they will be beaten away with sticks!"

After this shouting, a group of government officials armed with knives and sticks came out again, frightening many of the candidates' family members who were still explaining their children and hurried away.

"Hey, hey, please don't hit me. We're leaving now."

After driving people away, the front door of the ceremony room was finally cleared a lot, leaving a clear space for candidates to line up, and allowing the yamen officials to see clearly those bad apples who wanted to take advantage of the candidates.

Don't even mention it, the government officials really caught two of them.

These two were poor students who had failed the exam several times. They knew that they would never pass the exam, so they paid a large sum of money to trick people into cheating them. One of the people they cheated turned out to be Young Master Tong San. .

Tong San is the head of Linhe Prefecture's current government examination. If someone dares to plot against him, what's the point? The boy who was stuffed with the stuffer was dragged out and beaten severely!

Many candidates who doubted that Young Master Tong San was not as knowledgeable as Yan Xiaowu were filled with indignation because of Tong San. Some people thought that this was done by the Yan family and began to speak ill of the Yan family.

After hearing this, even Kong Xuezheng, who came from the capital, had a slight liking for Young Master Tong and said: "The head of Tong's case deserves to be the head of Jinke's case. This is someone who is jealous of his talent."

Magistrate Shi of Linhe Prefecture nodded and said with a smile: "Master Xuezheng is right. Tong San is very knowledgeable. The head of this prefecture is a real person. It's just that the fifth young master of Master Yan's family is acting abnormally. That's why..."

So I am innocent. I have not done anything to cheat in the scientific examination. You have to believe me!

Kong Xuezheng raised his hand, interrupted Magistrate Shi's words, and said with a smile: "Master Shi, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's burn incense to worship heaven and earth and prepare for the big exam."

"Yes." Magistrate Shi was very smart and didn't say anything else.

…

Boom, boom, boom!

Two hours later, all the candidates had completed their inspections and received their signs. After entering the examination booth, the big drum in the ceremony room was beaten nine times. After nine consecutive blows, the college examination, which affects the fate of the entire Jianghuai examination, was officially Exam begins.

The college examination is divided into two sessions, each lasting one day. In the morning, they will write poems and essays, and in the afternoon they will discuss strategies. Candidates will have to stay in the examination tent overnight and will collect their papers and leave at exactly 1 o'clock tomorrow.

Today, checking the entrance of candidates has been delayed all morning, so the candidates have to answer questions tonight by candlelight. After the test questions are handed out, everyone is extremely nervous.

The first policy essay only has one word, which is "loyalty". It was written by the Emperor of Chu. When the candidates saw this word "loyalty", they were happy. Isn't it just to express loyalty? Everyone knows how to write this policy essay. The sky is full of excitement.

The second policy discussion also had the same word, money, and it also came from the hands of Emperor Chu. Over the years, Emperor Chu had changed his ways to get money, but no amount of money was enough. Therefore, in this college examination, despite the dissuasion of the elders, this question was asked.

Many candidates were confused when they saw this question. Money? They can only read, how do they know how to make money?

Gu Jinan smiled when he saw this question. It was indeed about money... In recent years, except for Jianghuai and Jiangnan, there have been disasters in all parts of Chu, and the court has gone crazy for lack of money. Therefore, Gu Jinan had long thought that this question would come up in this college examination, and he wrote several strategies on how to make money to practice. After thinking about it for a while, he started to write.

The other candidates were not as relaxed as he was, scratching their heads and scratching their heads. Some of them fainted because they could not solve the questions and the weather was too hot. In less than an hour, more than a dozen candidates fainted due to the heat and the intense heat and were carried away. .

When other candidates in the examination room heard the sound, some of them were not able to withstand it. Even the hand holding the pen was shaking.

But no matter how afraid and anxious they were, time would not wait for them. At the beginning of the tenth hour of June, the big drum in the ceremony room sounded, and Kong Xuezheng immediately issued an order: "The time is up, collect the papers!"

After giving the order, several teams of officers, led by an adult, rushed to the rows of examination booths and said to the candidates: "Master Academic Affairs has an order. The time has come. Stop writing immediately and collect the papers. Anyone who dares to answer the questions will be stopped immediately." , all the results of this subject are invalid!"

As soon as these words came out, those candidates who had not finished writing cried out: "It's over, it's over, I can't pass this subject!"

After saying that, another group of people fainted.

The government officials were helpless and could only arrange for people to carry them out.

Gu Jinan and the others were not fainted. They walked out of the ceremonial room, all beards and tail, and were pulled into a mule cart by Shang Xiucai and others who had been waiting outside, and drove back to the Xu family's house.

The Tong family had been watching for a long time, and they sent people to follow him again. Unfortunately, this time they were stopped by Xiao Sui and the others and could not follow him successfully.

Gu Jinan and the others stayed in the ceremony room for two days and one night, and their bodies were full of sweat. After taking a bath and eating a full meal, they finally came back to life.

But surprisingly, Mr. Xu and the others didn't ask them how they did in the exam. He just said to them: "Now that the exam is over, don't think about it anymore. Take a good rest and wait until the results are released."

Because of these words, Xu Zhaoming and the others were very happy and relaxed. However, they did not go out to look for trouble. Instead, they stayed in the house honestly until the results were released on June 19th.

┭┮﹏┭┮Sorry, I will speed up and write as soon as possible that Sanlang and Xiaoyu will get married in advance and the two will go to the northwest. I know you can't wait. I probably won’t be able to write about Luo Wu and Gu Jinxiu’s wedding. I’ll just skip it in one stroke. I’ll get tired of writing too many weddings. I’m just going to rewrite the wedding between San Lang and Xiao Yu. Thank you for everyone’s support. I’m grateful.
