Traveling through ancient times, my husband and I raised myself

37. On the second day, Tang Ze didn't have the heart to wake up Lin Xiao, who was soundly asleep, and gently got up from the bed.Before leaving, he not only greeted Zhang Qing, but also the surrounding villagers to prevent any accidents when Lin Xiao was at home alone, and no one would know.Zhang Qing asked Lin Ran to live in Tang's house to stay with Lin Xiao, so Tang Ze relaxed. When he arrived in the county, he went to Jishitang himself and asked Mr. Qiu to pay attention. Then he talked to Lin Cheng with worry Embarked on the road to Qizhou.

Only Lin Cheng and Tang Ze were traveling together this time. One, Fang Qi and Li Xianghao, wanted to win Jieyuan in one fell swoop, so they waited for the exam when they were fully prepared. The other was that there was a problem with their family business. I don't have time to read.

Qizhou is worthy of being the capital of the state. Its area and prosperity are incomparable even to Yangshan County. After paying ten renminbi tolls, the road was led to the soldiers guarding the city for inspection, and the two were released.

Entering the city gate, what you can feel is the hustle and bustle of people in Qizhou. Because the two came early, they found a good inn to live in. They have been traveling hard for the past few days, and they explained to each other to take a good rest, and then entered their respective Tang Ze gave the little boy five cents to bring a bucket of hot water up as soon as possible. He really couldn't bear the smell on his body.After washing thoroughly, Tang Ze didn't want to go downstairs anymore. He asked Xiaoer to deliver the food to the room. After eating and drinking, he went to rest directly. The carriage ride for two days was also uncomfortable. Tang Ze is now extremely Miss my own Hummer.

Waking up early the next morning, Tang Ze stretched out of the room, just in time to meet Lin Cheng who was carrying the food upstairs from below.

"Ah Cheng got up so early?"

"I just went to bed early last night. I brought a lot of breakfast. Why don't you use it in my room." Lin Cheng nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'm just too lazy to go down."

"I just inquired with Xiaoer. I heard that the Qingfeng Building here is holding a literary exchange meeting recently. Is Aze interested in going to see it?"

"That's a good suggestion! Then let's go later." Tang Ze knew that before each exam, there would be some kind of talent exchange meeting. Shang Tangze also wanted to know the general level of the candidates this year, so he readily agreed.

After tidying up, the two successfully found the Qingfeng Building under Xiao Er's instructions. They saw that the Qingfeng Building has three floors. Looking from the bottom up, it is really majestic and magnificent. At this time, the building was bursting with cheers. , It is estimated that some talented person has gained the limelight.

"Ah Cheng, let's go in."

Tang Ze was eager to try.

"Okay." Lin Cheng nodded with a gentle smile, and the two walked in.

As soon as you enter the hall, you can see that it is full of people, either holding a book and talking with three or two friends, or scribbling ink at the table, or concentrating on admiring the performance of the people on the stage, the whole hall The place is very lively, look up and forget to go upstairs, and there are rich children in silk and satin gathered together, as if they are commenting on the people below.

And on the round platform in the middle, there are three people standing. The middle-aged man in the middle is a middle-aged man with a pair of beards, and the two standing on both sides of him are young men in scholar clothes. The middle-aged man is reading aloud. Every reading of the poems written by the two scholars aroused violent repercussions from the people below.

The two found an inconspicuous corner, sat down and watched everyone's reaction, which was interesting.

"I heard that Xie Yiyuan and Fang He are the ones who have the most calls for Xie Yuan among the candidates this year. Now it seems that they are evenly matched!" A group of people sitting at Tang Ze's front table whispered.

"Yeah, it seems that this year's Jie Yuan will undoubtedly be born between the two." The partners at the same table all nodded in agreement.

"What does Ah Cheng think of the two people on the stage?" Tang Ze turned around and asked with a smile.

"The literary talent is really good." Lin Cheng looked at the two people in the stands appreciatively, and they were about to come down.

"Hehe~ Ah Cheng didn't tell the truth!" Tang Ze's smile became brighter, and even he could tell that although the two people on the stage had excellent literary talents, it was a pity that they could only talk in exaggeration. Now the emperor is vigorously recruiting talents. The chief examiner of this rural examination is still the prime minister of the current dynasty, and what they want is not an embroidered pillow that can only write articles.

"Since Aze is clear in his heart, why bother to say it?" Lin Cheng replied lightly, and then stopped talking, but let Tang Ze understand that Lin Cheng, who has always been gentle, is also a fox!

Were the IQs of the ancients so high?Or am I surrounded by foxes?Tang Ze thought depressingly.

The two sat for a while, and then they were ready to go back, but they didn't know that someone was watching them all the time as soon as they entered the door. Tang Ze vaguely felt that someone was staring at them with his supernatural perception, but after observing for a long time, he also found that What, I gave up and didn't tell Lin Cheng about it.

After that, the two of them didn't go out any more. Except eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom, they just stayed in their room and studied books. Tang Ze knew his own abilities, so he didn't plan to do well in the exam. Just raise someone.

On the morning of August 26th, Lin Cheng woke Tang Ze up early. After breakfast, the two of them carried a basket filled with dry food and pens and ink, and walked straight to the Gongyuan in Qizhou. On the way, they met many candidates like them. Everyone is looking at each other, thinking about who will be their opponent.

When they arrived at the open space in front of the Gongyuan, a small number of candidates were already waiting in line, and the two hurriedly followed the queue.

There are a total of three township exams, each three days, but the exam room needs to be changed in the middle, so the exam is actually nine days and seven nights, in the small cubicle less than ten square meters, and the weather is still very hot now, if there is no I really can't hold on to a strong enough body. Every year during the exam, there are countless candidates who are carried out halfway.

Tang Ze thought he was in a very good state of mind. After sitting in his own cubicle, he began to close his eyes and rest his mind. He woke up too early in the morning, and he hasn't recovered yet. Just in time for the exam papers to be sent out, he hastened to catch up on sleep .

The first test is the Four Books and Five Classics. These are dead knowledge in books. You just need to memorize them. Tang Ze's memory is still good. After going through the answers in his head, he started to write. The next night Tang Ze finished answering all the questions at the time, and then checked carefully, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he stopped worrying about it, took out delicious food from the space to fill his stomach, and went straight to sleep.

The second policy question asked how to improve people's livelihood today. Tang Ze wrote a large article based on what he saw about the living conditions of farmers in ancient times and what he often saw on the news in modern times. It is estimated that the college entrance examination Writing essays has never been so smooth. After I finish writing, I write another article again, and then I am done.

The third test is similar to modern propositional composition. The examiner selects a sentence from the book and asks you to write an article to explain your point of view.This is more difficult. Generally, you have to write articles according to the examiner's preference, so as to get a high score. On the afternoon of the ninth day, I finally heard the sound of the official beating the gong, and the exam was over.

……

After leaving the examination room, they found Lin Cheng who looked pretty good. The two hired a carriage and sent them directly back to the inn. They didn't care about the image problem. They fell on the bed and fell asleep, and didn't wake up until midnight , Tang Ze smelled the smell on his body, and immediately asked Xiao Er to bring up a bucket of hot water. The smell was really sour.

After washing for half an hour, Tang Ze wiped his hair and was about to go downstairs to look for food. He saw that the door of Lin Cheng's room was closed and the lights were not on. Tang Ze guessed that he hadn't woken up yet, so he went down first. Yes, just send some to him later.

When Tang Ze went downstairs, he saw the noise in the hall. Everyone was whispering together, and Tang Ze couldn't see what was going on inside.Calling Xiao Er, Tang Ze ordered a few small dishes and a large bowl of rice, and sat in the corner quietly finishing the food in front of him. Tang Ze really missed having no hot food for so many days.

It's almost time to eat, Tang Ze was about to ask Xiao Er to back up the food and send it upstairs, when he saw the encirclement finally dissipated, Tang Ze realized that there was a drunken scholar inside, crying while drinking, he probably didn't do well in the exam Okay, Tang Ze shook his head, turned around and went up.

After going back to pack his luggage and put it on the bed, Tang Ze lay down on the bed and fell asleep. He couldn't wait to go back and see Lin Xiao. Putting his hands on his heart, Tang Ze silently said good night and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Tang Ze couldn't wait to knock on Lin Cheng's door.

"Ah Ze, you got up so early, why don't you take a good rest?" Lin Cheng had already arranged his clothes and was washing up.

"Ah Cheng, I'm going back to Lin's Village today, are you waiting here for the announcement, or will you go back with me?"

"Leave today? Okay, be careful on your way, I'll stay here temporarily and wait for the result." Lin Cheng also knew that Tang Ze was worried about Xiao Lin, so he didn't stop him, and only gave some careful instructions.

"Don't worry, I've already rented a carriage, and I'm leaving now, so there's no need to deliver it." Tang Ze clarified the situation, carried his luggage, turned around and went downstairs quickly, Lin Cheng said "Hey!" He walked so hurriedly that he shook his head helplessly.

It took them two days to arrive in Qizhou when they came, and Tang Ze minimized the rest time on the road when they returned. It only took one and a half days to reach Qingshan County without stopping, and drove the carriage directly to Linjiacun.

When entering the village, Tang Ze felt that something was wrong. The villagers who usually like to gather together to chat about family affairs were gone. Tang Ze slapped his horse's ass hard, stopped at Tang's house, and saw most of the villagers Surrounding the door of the house, the expressions on their faces were very complicated. Tang Ze felt a "thud" in his heart when he saw this scene. He jumped off the carriage before it even stopped, pushed aside the crowd, and ran in quickly.

"Oh! Tang Ze is back!" A villager suddenly exclaimed.

"That's right! It's good for Tang Ze to come back! It's hard for anyone to make a decision in this situation? Sigh!"

"Little! I'm back!"

The author has something to say:

Guess how many candidates we can take the exam?

Can Xiaoxiao give birth to Xiao Baozi smoothly?
