In the next two days, Tang Shi'an passed by alone while studying at the inn, without even seeing Wang Quan and Wen Juan.The opening time of the Gongyuan is a quarter of a hour, and it is not yet dawn at this moment.But candidates have already lined up a long queue.

It was April, and Tang Shi'an remembered a poem he had learned before. The world is full of beauty in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.It was written by Mr. Bai Juyi Bai, and now it just happened to catch up.The flowers are red, the willows are green, and the exams are not so anxious.

The population of He'an Prefecture is quite large, and thousands of candidates are waiting outside the gate of the Gongyuan. The prefectural examination is more stringent than the county examination in terms of search.

There were four examination rooms in the Gong Yuan, and four boys led them to their own examination room. Tang Shi'an passed the preliminary examination and followed the flow of people to his own examination room.Soldiers were standing outside the examination room, searching for their identities one by one.Every year we know that the exam is very strict, but every year there will always be a few people who think they can get away with it.

The person in front of Tang Shi'an was found out and brought a cheat sheet into the examination room. There were too many people in the initial investigation, and the investigation was not so careful, which allowed this person to pass the test. But when he was discovered, the rest of his life would be over.

Not only can scientific research be impossible, but in severe cases, they will be distributed to the frontiers.When it was Tang Shi'an's turn, he could still hear the man's begging for mercy when he was pulled out, but it was useless at all.Before they became powerful, these scholars seemed to have a higher status than others, but in fact they were just ordinary people who were at the mercy of others.

Entering the examination room, Tang Shi'an followed his test lead to find a seat. The first session was to post scriptures, to test his ability to memorize scriptures.In Tang Shi'an's past half a year, let's not talk about how he is doing, but he has memorized the things that should be memorized. As long as he is not nervous, there is no problem in posting scriptures.

The test questions were sent to the position by the people in the examination room. Tang Shi'an waited for the time to answer the questions. He read the test questions first, and then began to grind and transcribe the content on the straw paper.

It took a long time to post a test for a day, and it was around noon after Tang Shi'an copied the answers from the scrap paper onto the test paper.At this time, the person who delivered the lunch at noon had already arrived, and he had paid for the meal when he entered the examination room before.

It's just that there are too many people taking the exam, so don't expect any good food. Most of them are steamed buns and water, and the number is limited. If you eat a lot, you may not be able to eat enough.

In the afternoon, Tang Shi'an put away the test paper, lay down on the table and fell asleep for a while, and when he recovered, he checked the answers on the test paper again.Posting scriptures not only depends on the ability to recite, but also pays attention to the quality of the words. If they can answer correctly, whoever has better words will win.

Fortunately, after practicing the copybook given by the old man for so long, I can't find any mistakes in writing this word on the test paper.After the inspection, seeing that there was nothing to modify, Tang Shi'an stopped worrying about whether he was right or wrong, and instead settled down to think about other things.

At dusk, the test papers were about to be collected. Tang Shi'an pulled the bell next to him, and two people came to pack up the things and name them. After all the things were collected, Tang Shi'an left the test room.

Although the examination room was in the same place this time, there were a lot more people, so I didn't meet any acquaintances, but met a few people I didn't know well.Except for the two people who were the guarantors in the county examination before, and the classmates who were in the academy before, it's just that Tang Shi'an fell behind, so they didn't pay attention.

Tang Shi'an was in a good mood after doing well in the first exam, so he didn't go back to the inn first, instead he went to a restaurant in He'an Mansion, planning to have dinner there.

Bajiaolou is a time-honored restaurant that has been in He'an for many years, and its taste and service are both amazing.The daily business is full, if you go late, there will be no seats.Even if Tang Shi'an missed this point, when he arrived, there wasn't even a table in the lobby of the Octagonal Building.

He could only sigh that his luck was bad, and when he turned around to go back to the Jiuxing Inn, he met Bai Junyuan coming in. This time, Bai Junyuan was bringing two servants behind him, so the lessons of the previous two days must have left a deep impression on him.

"Brother Bai, it's a coincidence." Tang Shi'an thought that he had bumped into each other head-on, so it's better to say hello. Even if he and Bai Jun are far from close friends now, after Bai Ranxi returns home, he still wants to get in touch.

"Unfortunately, I've already decided on the location of this restaurant." Bai Junyuan seemed to be still angry at Tang Shi'an's stopping him before, "Don't you also want to eat here, together, just repay your favor for helping me. "

Seeing Bai Junyuan walking upstairs after finishing speaking, Tang Shi'an shook his head, his temper was due to him being a kind person, otherwise there would be ways to deal with him later.Picking up a meal for nothing, not eating for nothing.

Bai Junyuan ordered a private room. The private rooms in the octagonal building are all numbered according to plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. This is the plum three room, with plum blossoms inside, and the decorations are also exquisite.

"What do you want to eat?" Bai Junyuan raised his chin and asked Tang Shi'an to order, and the waiter who followed behind him also moved from Bai Junyuan to Tang Shian.

"Pick up a few signature dishes and serve them up." Tang Shi'an doesn't pick anything as long as it's delicious, and Bajiaolou is known as a time-honored restaurant, and the signature dishes are definitely not bad. As for the others, he will bring Bai Ranxi and Xiao The loach is tasting slowly.

"Okay, let's wait a moment to be objective." Xiaoer saw that Bai Junyuan had no objection, so he went out.Then a servant behind Bai Junyuan stepped forward and poured tea for him and Bai Junyuan.

"Brother Bai, how did you go in today's exam?" Thinking that there was still some time before the meal was served, Tang Shi'an didn't want to be like a wooden man with Bai Junyuan, who could last longer without talking.

Bai Junyuan took a sip of tea, "That's right."

Tang Shi'an clicked his tongue. Is this conceited or self-confident? Although he also felt that his perfect score in this round was almost inseparable, he couldn't say it so confidently. Or is this place in the capital so ignorant?

After Bai Junyuan finished speaking, he looked at Tang Shi'an. The meaning was obvious, but Tang Shi'an was supposed to answer whether he did well in the exam, but Tang Shi'an didn't realize it at all, and finally had to ask, "What about you?"

"It's okay."

After hearing this, Bai Junyuan snorted coldly, as if he felt disdainful that someone like Tang Shi'an could pass the exam.

The two boys who followed Bai Junyuan were sweating because of this guy, and they don't see any friends on weekdays, it's because of their bad temper.

"I said Mr. Bai, I have never offended you. I helped you two days ago. Now your attitude makes me think that I have some kind of enmity with you." Such a person Dog temper, Tang Shi'an is not his father, so naturally he won't be used to it.

"You helped me and I hate you don't conflict."

"Mr. Bai, has anyone ever said that someone like you is not suitable to be an official?" To put it bluntly is straightforward and naive, but to put it bluntly is to have no EQ.

"Yes, but I don't take the scientific examination to be an official." It's rare for Bai Junyuan to have such self-knowledge.

After Bai Junyuan's words, their conversation ended because the food was served, and they didn't continue to chat after that. Tang Shi'an focused on the food in front of him, and didn't put down his chopsticks until he was full and left.

It takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the Octagonal Tower to the Jiuxing Inn, just to digest the food and get up early tomorrow, so going back to bed early is the most important thing.

The second test of the government examination, namely the essays, is the rhetoric, which includes the assessment of poetry, economic calculations and other miscellaneous books, which is more difficult than the first test of posting scriptures.But this test was a test of both Tang Shian's best and his worst.

The economic and calculation questions tested by the government are not too difficult. Generally, you can do what you can pass, and you can’t pass what you can’t, unless you answer well in the first and third rounds and can pull the score. stand up.

The third round is more difficult than the first two rounds, but it is also more important. The strategy test takes two days, and the choice of words and sentences is also refined, which is not as demanding as the county test.

Besides, staying overnight in the examination room is definitely not a good thing. If it rains, it is likely that you will catch a cold. Tang Shi'an also dislikes the bedding in the examination room. After finishing the strategy the first day, he directly covered himself with his clothes and slept all night. .When I got up the next day, I accidentally fell ill. The symptoms were not serious, but I had a slight fever. I drank a medicine for wind and cold and slept for a while, and it passed.

Tang Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief when the papers were closed for the last round, and waited half a month for the results to be released.After leaving the Gongyuan, Tang Shi'an went to the pharmacy first, got the secondary medicine, went back to the inn at night, went to sleep after drinking the medicine, and would look for Wang Quan and Wen Juan tomorrow.

Wang Quan hadn't met since the last time we met in He'an Mansion, Wen Juan took longer, and we met when we met in the town before.

"Brother Tang, your complexion is a little pale, but you are sick." Wang Quanben's smiling face turned into worry when he saw Tang Shi'an again.

"I got a bit of a cold, and I've already taken some medicine, so it's fine." Tang Shi'an took his seat, "How are you two brothers doing in the Taiwan exam?"

"Borrowing the auspicious words of Brother Tang and Brother Wen, I feel that I can pass this time. Although it may be at the bottom of the list, it should not be far behind." Wang Quan is naturally happy. He didn't pass the government test last time and asked him to go back and play for a while. There is still some use in studying hard.

"Then congratulate Brother Wang first." Wen Juan was overjoyed when he heard that, "I also feel that I did not do badly in the exam, and I can rank high, but if everyone thinks so about the test questions this time, I'm afraid the result will be hard to tell."

"Just think about yourself, and you don't have to compare yourself with others." Tang Shi'an also knew the mentality of these two friends very clearly. One of them failed the exam and the other didn't know the depth of the exam.

"That's the reason. How about you, brother Tang? We've already said all of this, but we still don't know how brother Tang did in the exam?"

"It's okay, but the poetry is not good enough." In fact, most students don't have much foundation in poetry, and there are very few people who can really articulate it. Most of them are constantly revising poems on weekdays, and finally get a piece of poetry. The first satisfactory retention.

"Brother Tang, you have always said that your poetry is poor. No matter how I think about it, I don't believe it. The old man is full of praise for Brother Tang. No matter how bad you think about it, you won't be so bad." Wang Quan heard from Tang Shi'an before the Wenhui Once, and this time, I couldn't believe it.

"If Brother Wang doesn't believe it, you can ask the old gentleman, but he said that I am like an elm when it comes to composing poems, and I can't get it out of my head." Mr. Cao and the old man couldn't figure it out.

The original owner was much better than him in poetry, but he just failed to inherit this talent.
