The imperial examination has always been the only way for ancient silks to turn sparrows into phoenixes. If you pass the exam, you may not succeed, but if you fail the exam, you will definitely not succeed.So every exam has many scholars to participate.

Li Quan hurried to the yamen, and was caught by the yamen servant in a hurry:

"Where did you die? You can't find anyone at the inn? Do you know that the exam will start in half an hour? Master Liu has already gone to the exam room. You go and change into your official uniform, and I will ride a horse to see you off." You go!"

In this way, Li Quan changed his official uniform and was dragged to the examination room by the government servants on horseback.

The examination room of the township examination is not in the city, but in the meadow near the water outside the city, with trickling water and green grass, it is a fresh and pleasant place.Sheds have already been set up here, tables and chairs have been placed, and the surrounding area has been tightly sealed off by officers and soldiers.

Scholars from all around Quxi County came, but the number was only a hundred or so, completely different from the crowds of people Li Quan had imagined.In the huge examination room, only a hundred or ten people are arranged to take the exam, and the distance between people is at least three or four meters.There is definitely no way to cheat each other.

The examinees gathered together and whispered for a long time, and when the time ran out, they took their seats. Some were nervous, some were confident, and some were sneaky.

The examiners this time are Liu Song and an official who has accepted his fate from Bizhou Mansion.

Liu Song called Li Quan and the other auxiliary exams over, said some precautions, and then returned to the examiner's seat in the exam room to announce the exam questions.

Li Quan didn't know what the rules were, but what's so difficult about proctoring the exam?I didn't care, I retreated to the examination room and waited at the end.

Soon, Liu Song announced the first question of the rural examination in the main examination seat:

"At the beginning of my emperor's army, there were only a hundred people wearing armour, and ten stones of food and grass. In a few years, they swept across the country and were powerful in all directions. All the people of the previous dynasty were frightened and fled. After decades, there is today's prosperous Daqing , However, a great country is newly built, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. In the desolation, there are many diseases, and there are also poor and evil people in power. Why should the country prosper? How can the disease be cured?"

Li Quan scratched his head and finally understood what the problem was.

It was to ask why Qing State defeated the previous dynasty, and how to solve the problems existing in Qing State now.

After learning the topic, a group of candidates began to think hard.

Li Quan felt that the questions were not difficult, but the imperial examination questions were all about rhyming thimbles, and it was a headache to convert vernacular into classical Chinese.

Li Quan thought it was quite fun, and he also regarded himself as an examinee, thinking about how he should answer.

……

……

Time passed by, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Among the candidates, some were writing hard and some were frowning. The huge contrast made the examination room depressing.

Li Quan thought for a long time without a clue, and began to walk back and forth among the candidates like other supplementary exams.It's a pity that cheating is not as frequent as it is shown on TV, and Li Quan really can't think of how to cheat in such an exam?Unless the examiner misses the question.

Li Quan looked at the answer sheets of the candidates and found it boring. The answers were all bad, and he felt that he was not as good as himself.In this way, Xindao can be admitted as a scholar, and his feelings can also pass the provincial examination.

Li Quan couldn't find anything to pass the time, so Li Quan began to pay attention to the candidates' names:

"Li Fuyun, Xia Houling... Su—Su Wenmian!"

Li Quan noticed a familiar-looking name, and naturally stood beside that person.Staring closely at the name on the words but thinking hard.

"Su Wenmian? Who is td? Why don't you get up?"

Looking at the man's rickety body and malnourished appearance, he was biting his pen and never answered the questions, and was so nervous that his whole body was soaked.

"I don't think I've seen such a sour talent before."

Li Quan thought that he was thinking too much, and just as he was about to leave, he took a step, when suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind!

Didn't the green bamboo girl remarry to a man named Su Wenmian?

Chapter 115: Cheating

Li Quan heard that Ruhua said that Lvzhu married a sour scholar named Su Wenmian.

This appearance is worthy of a sour word, it should mean that this person has no time to run away.

Although Li Quan has always only regarded Lu Zhu as his little sister, but he was still a little upset to see this guy who was not a rival in love.Li Quan has passed the age of jealousy, and reason tells him that he should consider the idea of ​​green bamboo.

Since it is Luzhu's childhood sweetheart, it goes without saying that he is brave.It's a little sour, but it's good, because I'm worried that the little girl will suffer if I follow a man who is too shrewd.

Seeing Su Wenmian biting his pen and sweating profusely, Li Quan regarded him as an honest man.

But judging by his clothes and the sour smell on his body, he might be from a poor family.

Naturally, Li Quan couldn't give people money directly, thinking that since he met him, he would find a way to help.Looking at his blank paper, if he can pass the township test, he will be a ghost!

Li Quan touched his chin with one hand and pondered, thinking about how to operate.

"Cough cough!"

After thinking for a while, there was a sudden coughing sound behind Li Quan.

Looking back, there was another examiner.

Li Quan felt a little guilty, thinking that he had stood here for too long and aroused the examiner's suspicion, so he lowered his head and prepared to change his position.Don't want to be stopped by the other party.

Li Quan cupped his hands faintly: "My lord?"

Unexpectedly, Li Quan's actions frightened the other party into confusion, and he quickly staggered his body, not daring to accept Li Quan's courteousness. Instead, he cupped his hands at Li Quan and whispered hurriedly: "Hey! You can't do it! Master Li You are pissing me off!"

Li Quan was taken aback: "You...you know me?"

The examiner smiled obsequiously: "I know, I know, of course I know. I'm just one of the magistrate's servants. It's not surprising that Mr. Li doesn't know the subordinates, but the subordinates are fortunate to have met Mr. Li Tianyan several times. The day before yesterday, Mr. Li came to the magistrate. When I bought the official, the lower official happened to be there too. The documents for accepting the fate were all drafted by the lower official!"

"I see."

"Master Li is still used to working as an errand in Bixi Village? Is there any inconvenient place to refuse to say. If we can accommodate in Bizhou Prefecture, we must make it convenient for Master Li."

"It's nothing." Li Quan waved his hand indifferently, but pointed at Su Wenmian quietly, "My lord, I know this person. Can you accommodate me in the exam?"

"This..." The examiner looked puzzled, looked at Su Wenmian's answer sheet with his head rubbed, and shook his head helplessly, "Master Li, it's not that he's a low-ranking official who won't help you. It's just that Mr. Liu is having a hard time going through this test, and he can't hold half of it in his eyes." Sand, if you wait until after the paper is handed in, it is almost impossible. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is a way to get him to hand over an answer sheet that satisfies Mr. Liu."

Li Quan hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Then give me a pen and paper, and I'll write it up and give him a cheat sheet."

"Master Li, you mean..." The examiner dug his ears, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Could it be that Mr. Li still wants to answer the question for the other party?The township examination is not a business, and it's like a mountain across the road. Is it okay?

But Li Quan didn't care so much. Looking at the sky, there was not much time for the exam, and it would be too late if he didn't hurry up.Moreover, Li Quan also had some eyebrows just now, and hurriedly said:

"Can I have some pen and paper?"

"All right, all right! Master Li, come with me." The examiner didn't think too much about it, anyway, it's up to you how you make trouble, Master Li, so I just follow my mind.
