The queen must start from the head

Chapter 63
On August [-]th, Mu Lian started to get up early in the morning to pack the things that were to be brought into the examination room today.

In view of the difficulties she received during the entrance inspection last time, she took nothing with her this time except for pens, ink, paper and inkstones and identity tags in the bookcase.

"Are you going?"

Yue Yin, who was sleeping on the soft couch next to the bed, opened her dark eyes, watched Mu Lian carrying the bookcase on her shoulders, and couldn't help asking.

Mu Lian turned her head to look at the girl in question, and said, "The sealed Qi veins on your body will be released automatically in half an hour, and then you can go wherever you want, just don't stay here."

Hearing this, Yue Yin stretched out his arms from under the quilt, raised his hands to support his cheeks, and looked at the other person with burning eyes, "Aren't you afraid that if you let me go this time, I will come to kill you next time? Mu Zhang Sect, don’t you consider accepting me into your sect? I assure you, as long as you are willing to accept me, I will be obedient and I can do anything!”

When the girl said this, her face was full of sincerity, making it easy for people to believe what she said.

However, Mu Lian only replied lightly, "No, goodbye."

The door to the small courtyard was opened and immediately closed again.

Seeing Mu Lian leave, Yue Yin sat up with one arm supporting the soft couch, and the thin quilt slid down, revealing her beautiful body curves.

Wearing a close-fitting dress, she walked barefoot to the dressing table, picked up a bronze mirror on it, and said to the girl with a delicate face like a flower in the mirror,

"She is so beautiful, but she admires the head of the sect, but rejects me again and again. She is really a heartless person. Tell me, how can she be so hard-hearted?"

The shadow in the mirror nodded and said, "She's quite hard-hearted. But if she had a soft heart, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to survive now."

If there is a third person present at this time, you can find that the face in the mirror has completely changed into another person's face.

On Gongyuan Street, many scholars came to Zhennan Gongyuan before dawn to wait in line for inspection and admission.

By the time Mu Lian strolled to Gongyuan Street after having breakfast with her bookcase on her back, the two queues had spread to the entrance.

Mu Lian didn't say anything, just randomly picked the line on the left and went up.

People nearby noticed her, but no one spoke to her.

The news that a woman was qualified to take part in the Qiuwei Examination with the Emperor's Edict in hand had already spread among the scholars yesterday.

Scholars from other places don't take it seriously, but many local scholars in Zhennan City regard this as a shame and shame that Zhennan Gongyuan has never seen in a century.

These scholars also follow the lead of the powerful children of several local rich families, including the prince who once asked the city guards to let Mu Lian go at the gate of the city.

At this moment, Prince Wang and others were standing in the middle of the line, and the people around him were advising him on how to drive that little girl named Mu Lian out of the examination room today.

One person came up with an idea, "After we verify that we are going in, don't rush to cross the bridge. When she comes in and wants to cross the bridge, try to push her into the river. She is a woman, and her clothes are all wet under the eyes of everyone. It is Wuyan who stays here."

"This method is wonderful." Someone immediately agreed with this person's method.

"It's really good." Wang Gongzi also nodded.

Seeing this, the others also began to rack their brains to find a way.

Another person said, "We can also find a group of local hooligans to block the entrance of the Gongyuan and call her Mu Lian's name. They say that she is not a woman, so her man came to call her home to cook and raise children, destroying her. reputation."

The others looked at him with strange eyes after hearing this, but the latter stammered for some reason, "Why, what's the matter? Everyone...why, why are you looking at me like this?"

The person who came up with the idea before reached out and patted him on the shoulder, approving, "I didn't expect you to have a higher plan, brother, and I am willing to bow down."

The person immediately cupped his hands and said modestly, "Where is it."

While their discussion was in full swing, the young master of the Huang family who was also from the local rich family in the rear team heard the unsightly plots of the people in front of him, waved his folding fan, and shouted in a voice that these people could hear. Said, "It's just a bunch of gentle scum!"

There was a sudden silence ahead.

Prince Wang took the lead to turn his head back, and saw Mr. Huang with a sullen expression at a glance. He unscrewed the folding fan in his hand unhurriedly, and raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Who am I supposed to be barking behind? It turns out...it's a big yellow dog." ah!"

"Hahaha!" The people around Wang Gongzi immediately laughed out loud in response to the situation.

Mr. Huang gave the other party a hard look, "I'm too lazy to have this kind of verbal dispute with you! When the ranking is released, you and I will compete again!" After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Sideways, no longer pay attention to each other.

Wang Gongzi's eyes were fixed, and the corner of his mouth changed into a sneer.

He also turned his head, without saying a word, but secretly compared in his heart.

When the surname Huang was studying in the academy, he had been overwhelmed by him. This time, many masters in the academy were more optimistic about his surname Huang.

But how did they know that the chief examiner who graded the test papers in this township examination paid the most attention to the calligraphy and handwriting of the candidates?He Wang Wenyun painstakingly practiced Wang Xizhi's running script calligraphy for many years, and he had completed his calligraphy a few months ago. Isn't today the day he has been waiting for?On the day when the list is released, his name, Wang Wenyun, will definitely be on the list!He is very confident in himself!
The sun rises from the horizon and casts its warm rays over the whole land.

On Gongyuan Street, the long queue is still advancing.

In a secluded place near the gate of the Gongyuan, three small officials with their sleeves folded were bowing their heads and listening to the words of an official in front of them.

"All of you have seen what Namulian looks like. When she comes to jump into the arena later, you must jump out on the spot and catch her! When the time comes, there will naturally be someone present to correspond with you. , accusing this woman of failing to line up properly and breaking the rules of the examination room. At that time, you will stand up and swear to the death that she will not be allowed to enter the Tribute Academy, have you heard clearly?"

Speaking of this, the official even had a fierce look in his eyes.

He didn't believe that a woman on the other side, under such a situation where everyone blamed her and drowned her with one mouthful of saliva, would still have the face to step into the gate of the Gongyuan!
"Yes!" The three petty officials immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

After hearing this, the official smiled and was about to open his mouth to promise benefits to the three of them.

Suddenly, one of the clerks looked at the team not far ahead with a strange expression and muttered, "That person in the queue seems to be Mu Lian?"

When he said this, the two little officials next to him followed suit.

I saw that the person wearing a plain skirt who was about to line up at the gate of the Gongyuan, who wasn't Mu Lian?
When the official saw the faces of the three minor officials, and then took a closer look at the women in the team, how could he not know that his plan had come to nothing?

For this reason, he gave the three servants a hard look, "No one is allowed to say what I just said to you!"

The three people immediately nodded and bowed in agreement.

The man flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked quickly into the Gongyuan.

The first plan has failed, he has to inform the adults immediately, and I am afraid that he will have to find another way.

From queuing up to enter, to having her identity checked, checking her belongings, and now sitting in the clean dormitory in the examination room, Mu Lian felt that today's trip went smoothly beyond her imagination.

Could it be that those people knew that it would be impossible to stop her, so they chose to give up?
I don’t know how long I waited, but the second exam finally started.

This second test is still about writing, with one test of the Five Classics, and one test of imperial edict, judgment, table, and imperial edict.To put it simply, the test is all about official writing, which can be roughly divided into two types: official documents and judicial judgments based on provided cases.

This kind of article is full of routines, pay attention to the format and wording when writing, and it is not difficult to get a high score.

Mu Lian's answering process was also very smooth.Had a good night's sleep during the night.Although she didn't bring any food, she was a little hungry, but she had zhenqi to protect her body, so she wasn't afraid of being hungry for three to five days.

When the time for handing in the second paper was approaching, the invigilators Xu Gong and Lin Hanlin suddenly led people to bring a lot of cold and delicious sugar water to distribute to all the candidates present, and they also called it "relieving the heat".

Such a move has never been done before.

Therefore, all the candidates present can only express their gratitude to these two kind-hearted examiners with their eyes when the examination room stipulates that candidates are not allowed to speak.

When the sugar water was delivered to Mu Lian, a small official handed it to Mu Lian with a bowl full of sugar water, and said with a smile on his face, "Examinee, drink it quickly, we have to go to the hospital later." Where's the next house?"

Mu Lian raised her head, looked at the group of people blocking her sunlight, and shook her head, indicating that she would not drink.

Seeing that she didn't speak, and didn't take the sugar water, the little official felt a little anxious and didn't know what to do.At this moment, a force from behind suddenly hit his arm.

The next second, he shook his hands holding the sugar water, and the bowl was knocked over on the examination paper on Mu Lian's desk, and the black and white words instantly melted into one piece. There was no way to hand in such a paper again.

The little official panicked, and immediately fell to his knees, begging for mercy in the direction of Xu Gong, "My lord, my lord, it was the villain's mistake! It was the villain who accidentally knocked over the bowl! I beg you to punish the little one!" !"

Mr. Xu pretended to be angry, and he was not easy to do anything.

Lin Hanlin took a step forward and kicked the little official to the ground, "How on earth do you do things? Pour sugar water on the candidates' papers, aren't you ruining their futures? Why don't you come to this person quickly?" Candidates apologized!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong!" The little official quickly turned around and kowtowed to Mu Lian, "Miss, it was the little one who accidentally knocked over the bowl. I beg you to show your noble hand and let the villain go!"

Mu Lian calmly looked at the other person's humble appearance, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.

People may not be able to control their own destiny, but they have the right to choose.When this person chose to kneel down, his spine was also broken, and it was hard to say whether he could straighten up in the future.

Seeing that Mu Lian seemed unmoved, Xu Gong and Lin Hanlin came forward to persuade her, nothing more than to persuade her to take the exam again next year.

However, in the next second, something astounding happened.

With a flick of her sleeve, Mu Lian swept all the wet examination papers on the number board onto the ground, and took out a folded paper from her bookcase that could be vaguely written in black and white. Exam papers, and then put them back on a clean number board.

Seeing this scene, Xu Gong and the others froze immediately.

"Come on, my exam paper is right here. What was just thrown away was just the manuscript paper. You want to destroy my exam paper, don't you? The exam paper is here, don't you still have sugar water? Come and splash it, I will never do it. I will kill you and then skin you and turn you into scum, I promise.”

Looking at Mu Lian who was clearly sitting in her seat with her lips completely closed, the woman's voice suddenly sounded in her mind, causing Mr. Xu and others to take a few steps back in unison.

At this moment, they looked at Mu Lian as if they were looking at a monster.
