The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

It has not been a few days since Lin Zhao took the county examination. Jiang Ziyan learned about it in advance. The imperial examination system here is very similar to the ancient imperial examination system in his previous life.This county test is the first test in the children's test, and the children's test is a preparatory test, and only those who pass it can obtain the qualification of scholar.

Lin Zhao needs to go to Fengyang County for the county examination. The examination is presided over by the county magistrate. In addition, officials from the state government will conduct inspections and supervision.

The specific time of the exam has been notified one month in advance, and a while ago Jiang Ziyan took time to accompany Lin Zhao to the ceremony room of the county government to register.

When you sign up, you need to fill in your personal information, such as name, age, place of origin, appearance, etc., as well as information about your parents.Those whose parents and ancestors have been severely punished or degraded into slavery are not allowed to take the exam.

Lin Zhao was raised by his aunt, and after his aunt married Lin Xiucai, he also entered the household registration of the Lin family, so the personal information here is quite smooth.

In addition to filling in personal information, you must also fill in the mutual bond and bond.The main purpose is to prevent some people from cheating and to ensure their innocence. Otherwise, if some unruly people enter the court in the future, it will have a great impact on the officialdom.

Mutual knot is to ask five people who take the exam to write a guarantee letter together. If one person cheats, all five people will sit together.Lin Zhao and his class A basically had to take the exam this time, he added Cheng Yi, and found three other people to fill in the cross-section.

As for the bond, you need to find a guarantor in the county, that is, a scholar who has passed the child birth test. This is still very easy to find.Many granary students take advantage of this time to guarantee and collect a deposit, which is also a little income.

Lin Zhao was about to take the exam, and Jiang Ziyan didn't go anywhere for the past two days. He didn't care about the supermarket and paper making. He wanted to prepare things for Lin Zhao to use for the exam.

It was cold in February, and Jiang Ziyan heard that the examination room was built in a test shed, which had no insulation effect at all. He didn't know what the weather would be like on the day of the test, but it wouldn't make it any warmer, so he asked Lin Zhao's cotton coat to be warmed up again. It's a thick layer.

The eighth day of February is the exam day.Because Qingping Town is a bit far from Fengyang County, Jiang Ziyan took Lin Zhao and Lin Xing to Fengyang County with Lin Zhao and Lin Xing on the seventh day of the seventh day because he was afraid of not being able to make it in time when he got up early in the morning.

The inns in the county are full these days, and basically all the candidates live far away from their homes.Jiang Ziyan arrived at noon, but only got one room.Fortunately, the bed was not too small, barely able to squeeze the three of them.

Jiang Ziyan got up early in the morning on the eighth day of the eighth day. He borrowed the back kitchen of the inn to make him a burrito and two eggs. I have a good intention.

After dinner in the morning, Jiang Ziyan took Lin Xing to send Lin Zhao to the examination room.There were a lot of people outside the examination room, many parents came to send the exam, and even some wives brought their children to send their husbands for the exam.

Jiang Ziyan handed the test basket to Lin Zhao, and said, "Don't feel pressure during the test, just concentrate on answering the questions, if you fail the test, we will come back next time."

Lin Zhao smiled, "Yes."

Lin Xing also knew that his brother was about to take an exam, and he wanted to say something encouraging, but he couldn't speak, so he took a step forward and took Lin Zhao's hand, rubbing his small face against it, and looked at him with a smile.

Lin Zhao understood what he meant, and reached out to touch his little head, "Don't worry, wait for my good news."

Not far away, Cheng Yi was also there. At this time, he was talking to his mother, so Jiang Ziyan didn't go up to say hello.

It was getting late, Jiang Ziyan watched Lin Zhao enter the examination room.

There is a body search when entering the venue to prevent people from cheating with cheat sheets.Lin Zhao passed the inspection smoothly and walked into the examination room.

The seat number is posted in the examination room, so you can find a seat directly after entering.There are five exams, one a day, which means that Lin Zhao needs to take the exam for five days.The various examinations are nothing more than four scriptures, test post poems, five scriptures, poems, fu, policies, treatises, sexual theories, sacred edicts, etc.The titles, poems, and essays all have a certain format, and the names of the late emperor and the current emperor cannot be used. The examination essay should not be less than [-] words.

The first exam on the first day is the main one, which is generally looser, as long as the sentences are roughly fluent.The results will be released once in one test, and only those who pass the test can take the second test. After each test, there will be one or two days in the middle to release the results.

Lin Zhao’s exam lasted for about half a month. These days, Jiang Ziyan and Lin Xing only lived in the inn for the first day. Considering that it would last a long time, and also for Lin Zhao to study his homework quietly, Jiang Ziyan rented a small hotel. Courtyard, with kitchen, convenient for him to cook.

At the end of the exam on the last day, there were all people outside the dragon gate, all of them came to pick up the students who had taken the exam at home.Jiang Ziyan held a small kettle in his hand, and Lin Xing was in it.Inside is the milk tea that he has made in the past few days, and the kettle is covered with a thick layer of cotton jacket to keep it warm.

The weather has been bad for the past few days, and there is no sign of warming up at all. Jiang Ziyan specially made hot milk tea to take with him. When Lin Zhao comes out later, he can drink some to warm his body.He didn't bring Lin Xing out when he went out today. There must be a lot of people who just finished the exam, not to mention the family members who came to pick up the candidates. He was afraid that Lin Xing would be scattered by the crowd if he didn't pay attention.

Jiang Ziyan waited for about half an hour. The dragon gate outside the examination room opened, and a large number of students poured out of it. The scene reminded Jiang Ziyan of the college entrance examination he took in his previous life.

The open space outside the dragon gate was not particularly large, but it was full of people at this time. Jiang Ziyan stood on tiptoe to look around to see if Lin Zhao had come out.

After five exams, the results of four have been announced.There is no specific ranking, but Jiang Ziyan went to check it out. Lin Zhao's name is in the top [-] on the outer layer. He doesn't quite understand how the list is read, but he knows that only the names on the list can be used for the next exam. So Lin Zhao's results in the first four rounds were all qualified.

Fortunately, Lin Zhao was tall. Among so many students, it was rare to say that he was so tall. Jiang Ziyan saw him as soon as he came out.

"Azhao! Here!" Jiang Ziyan tried his best to wave a hand, hoping that Lin Zhao could see him.

After Lin Zhao came out, he was also looking for him in the crowd. He knew that Jiang Ziyan would definitely come to pick him up.

After the two met successfully, Jiang Ziyan handed out the kettle in his hand, "Azhao, is it cold? This is the milk tea I made in it. It's still hot. Drink some to warm yourself up." Zhao took the test basket from his hand.

By the way, the examinees need to use test baskets this time, and the large batch of bamboo baskets that Jiang Ziyan bought years ago have been kept in the supermarket, and now they are all sold out under the wind.

Lin Zhao took the milk tea, opened the cork and took a sip. The milk tea was still hot and a bit sweet, "It's delicious, thank you brother!"

"There are many people here, let's go back first."

Lin Zhao nodded, and when the two were about to leave, someone suddenly patted Lin Zhao from behind, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi was very happy to see them, and stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, how do you feel about the exam questions this time?"

"It's alright."

"I feel so too."

Jiang Ziyan saw Cheng's mother standing next to Cheng Yi, and asked, "Auntie, are you going back?"

Cheng's mother is in a good mood today, listening to her son's words, this exam is not difficult, and she is one step closer to becoming a scholar, how can she not be happy.

"Yeah, Yi'er and I are going back to town. How about you?"

Jiang Ziyan looked at the sky. It would be midnight when he went back to town. He knew that Cheng's mother was in such a hurry to save money for tonight's accommodation.

"It's getting so late, so don't worry about it, Auntie. I rented a small courtyard here, and it just happens to be vacant. Let's squeeze together and make up for one night. Let's leave tomorrow morning."

This proposal is very good, and Cheng Yi also agrees with it.

It's just that Cheng's mother was a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "This is so embarrassing..."

"You see, our family Ah Zhao and Cheng Yi have just finished the exam, so there must be a lot of exchanges about the exam questions, so as to prepare for the subsequent exam."

When she heard that it was for the exam, Cheng's mother nodded quickly. Nothing is as important as getting fame.

The small courtyard that Jiang Ziyan rented had three rooms, two big ones and one small one. He was afraid that Lin Xing would disturb Lin Zhao's study. A few days ago, Jiang Ziyan took Lin Xing to sleep in one room, and Lin Zhao slept in one room by himself. There was also a small room available.

Right now, Mother Cheng lives in that small room alone, Cheng Yi and Lin Zhao share one room, and Jiang Ziyan and Lin Xing share one room.

The next morning they had dinner and rushed back to Qingping Town.

After returning home, Lin Zhao and Cheng Yi were called away by Mr. Cen just after lunch, saying that he wanted to ask them about the exam.

At this time, several invigilators gathered in the county government office of County Magistrate Wu, who were reviewing the answer sheets of the last exam.And there are a few answer sheets on his desk, all of which are from the students who answered well in the previous four rounds, as a reference for him to decide the top of the desk this time.

Although County Magistrate Wu is not a very upright and honest parent official, he is not confused. He was not young when he entered the official position. Now he is in his 40s, and Fengyang is a remote place. He wants to be promoted but has no major achievements. , so it has been consumed in this position.

The Great Wei Dynasty attached great importance to imperial examinations, and County Magistrate Wu was also very concerned about this matter. He was looking forward to the day when a talented person like the No. It can be counted as a feat.

Several invigilators found good answer sheets during the review process and took them out and put them on the other side. The last test was poetry, scriptures, and parallel essays. Although the review was not difficult, the number was large. I didn't stop until it was dark before I finished reviewing the test papers.

"My lord, these are the more outstanding answers in the last round, and they are all here."

County magistrate Wu was born as a Jinshi, but his ranking was relatively low, and he also had real talents and practical learning.He had already read through the answer sheets of the previous rounds, and listed a few, including the names of Lin Zhao and Cheng Yi.

He looked at the names and places of origin written on the front of the paper, and said to the teacher next to him, "Go and find the fifth answer sheet of Zhang Su, Cheng Yi, Lin Zhao, and Li Junru."

As soon as the master heard it, he knew that the chief suspect this time might come from these few people.
