Wen Jingyu gave her name and started talking with Han Miao.

Han Miao seemed unaccustomed to wearing thin robes, rolled up his sleeves as if he was afraid of the cold, and blinked curiously: "Speaking of which, I just heard that Brother Wen was also recommended by someone? I don't know who in the court grown ups?"

Wen Jingyu paused, and was about to answer, when suddenly there was commotion in front of him. It turned out that the gate of the Tribute Court had been opened, and several examiners had already begun to verify documents and invite people to enter.

The disciples behind him suddenly pushed each other, scrambling to rush forward.

Wen Jingyu was suddenly pushed and staggered. He stumbled forward a few steps, and when he stood still, he turned around and saw a crowd of people, and Han Miao had long since disappeared.

Lu Ji was being pushed back and forth by a group of people, with his feet barely touching the ground, and he couldn't think of looking for Wen Jingyu for a long time, so he could only hold the document in his arms until the prison guard finally got angry and forced everyone to Enter the venue in order or you will be banned from the scientific examination forever, and there was a long queue outside the Gongyuan.

The long line moved forward slowly, and Lu Ji hopped on tiptoe twice, seeing from a distance that the gate was heavily guarded.On the left and on the right, two young officials in green official robes perform their own duties. The one on the left is responsible for checking the documents, and the one on the right checks with the guards whether there is any cheating on the tester.

Suddenly, there was an uproar at the door, and only an angry reprimand resounded through the sky: "Take it down!"

Lu Ji poked his probe curiously, and saw a disheveled man being escorted by someone, walking past him with a disheveled face.

"Brother," Lu Ji poked the pointing tester standing in front, "what's the matter?"

The tall and thin scholar curled his lips: "What else can I do? If I want to entrain it, I will be found out. It seems that I wrote the scriptures on the inner jacket." With a low voice, he approached Lu Ji, "It's not a big deal. I heard that there are still written there..."

Lu Ji was taken aback: "Where?"

The tall and thin scholar glanced at Lu Ji's lower body with "just pretend" eyes, Lu Ji couldn't help but took a step back, with a look of horror on his face: "This——"

Fuck, what do you think of writing there? !Won't you be found if you bow your head? !How small the words have to be written!Won't react?

The tall and thin scholar laughed, and slapped him on the shoulder: "Where are you going, it's here!" He patted his thigh.

Lu Ji's expression was still very indescribable: "Will it be discovered if you write here?"

The scholar seemed to be very talkative, shaking his head and said: "That's natural. Looking at you, you didn't do your homework well. The previous court is no better than us. The imperial examinations that officials rely on to enter the court are naturally quite strict. `Grandfather, relying on the name of the country changed by the aristocratic family, it is natural to give them benefits. The imperial examination is half-way and half-abandoned, and the inspection is not so strict. Hey, poor world, we are more and more ordinary people who want to stand out. Difficult..."

Lu Ji nodded cooperatively. Seeing that someone was willing to listen, the scholar became more and more eloquent, from the time when the Taizu ascended the throne and betrayed and weakened the clan. horse.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, more and more candidates tried to cheat and were caught one after another.

"I said that you are not allowed to bring any items with you in the exam. Why do you have to carry them privately? Search for me! ——A note is sandwiched in the charcoal? Why don't you take the imperial examination? Why don't you take it away?! Take it away! "

"Do you think I can't find it if you hide it in your shoe? Take it down!"

"Hiding it in your mouth is not afraid of getting wet anymore? If you don't focus on the right thing all day long, you have read the sage's book into the dog's stomach. Take it down for me!"

I could only hear the angry voice of the prison gate officer ringing out continuously, one after another was taken into custody without mercy, gradually no one was making noise outside the Gong Yuan, and everyone was silent and trembling.

Finally, he arrived at the tall and thin man in front of Lu Ji, and saw that the scholar took off his robe calmly, and let the prison guard search him. Just as he was about to put on his robe, the prison guard suddenly yelled: " Wait a minute!"

Lu Ji trembled, and before he had time to react, the prison guard suddenly tore off the tall and thin scholar's underpants!

Amid the uproar, the prison gate officer sneered twice, and pointed at the sluggish examinee's thigh: "Next time I want to write this here, remember to use light-colored ink, so you can see it clearly through your trousers!"

Lu Ji was dumbfounded, and the scholar was as stiff as a piece of wood. The examiners behind couldn't help laughing when they saw this. The tall and thin scholar suddenly came back to his senses and pulled up his pants, but was held up by two guards, one on the left and one on the right. .

"Wait, the agreement is not so strict! This is God's death, alas, the students refuse to accept--" The tall and thin scholar cried and howled and was taken down.

Lu Ji closed his chin, turned his head as if his neck was rusty, and faced the dark face of the prison gate officer.

"Your test this year is really the worst I have ever seen in my life!" His beard seemed to be raised in anger, but unfortunately his face was clean, so he could only stare blankly.

Suddenly pointing at Lu Ji: "Starting from you, I took off my pants during the body check!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden commotion, Lu Ji took two steps back suddenly with a pale face, and the testers behind were also in a commotion, shouting "disgraceful to the gentleman" and "incompatible with etiquette" and so on.

The prison guard's face was ashen, as if he refused to give in.Lu Ji twitched his mouth and scolded his mother in his heart, and he was already thinking about whether he would resist to the death if he really wanted to take off his pants, or simply go back and tell Shen Zhiwei that he quit. Presumably, Shen Zhiwei should be able to understand his pain of not wanting to run naked in public.

While everyone was arguing endlessly, the elegant official who was checking the documents suddenly sighed: "Lord Tao, let's forget it, Mr. President Zai didn't give such orders in advance."

"Master Zong Zai didn't say anything, but look where they wrote it!" Master Tao still refused to let go.

"Even if they really wrote it there, we just need to send a few more patrols, but since Mr. Zai didn't say anything about this matter, the two of us really have no right to decide."

"Li Xiuming, are you afraid? You are afraid of me, but I will take care of it!" Master Tao snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and turned his head.

Lu Ji felt that he should speak out for his own rights, and said in a low voice: "Well, the students also think that Master Li is right..."

"You!" Official Tao raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to yell, but many people behind him responded to Lu Ji, shouting loudly.

After a long while, master Tao's forehead was twitching with veins, and finally he hummed heavily, and turned his head coldly.

Only then did Lu Ji heave a sigh of relief, took out the document and handed it out.

The examiner named Li Xiuming took the document, first smiled at him, and then lowered his head: "Han Miao, from Anyuan County, Yizhou, Huainan Road, was recommended by Shen Zhiwei, the Minister of the Ministry of War..."

He looked at the portrait on the document and compared it to Lu Ji.Lu Ji was beating his heart when he saw his pitch-black eyes, and couldn't help being a little nervous.

Fortunately, he returned the document to Lu Ji not long after, and smiled kindly: "That's all right." The guards at the side came up and searched him again, found nothing unusual, and nodded to Mr. Tao.

Master Tao folded his arms, snorted and waved.

Lu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smiling face, arched his hands left and right, and was about to step into the threshold.

"Wait a minute." A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Lu Ji's heart suddenly rose into his throat, and his scalp went numb.

God knows what he hates most now are these two words!

He turned his head stiffly, only to see a potbellied official in a red robe walking towards him with a cold face.

"He Tongkao." The two people at the door saluted together.

Master He let out a "huh" and glanced to the right: "What's the noise at the door just now?"

Official Tao froze, and Li Xiuming on the side stepped forward: "But something went wrong, it's okay..."

"I didn't ask you." The tone was cold and arrogant, Li Xiuming paused, and could only back away.

"Tao Jin." The prison gate officer on the right took a step forward with his head bowed. Mr. He stroked his beard and sneered, "This officer has advised Mu Xiang many times, saying that you are impatient and unusable. Your Excellency recommends you, but what are you doing? You make your own decisions and want to make the world's examiners feel ashamed outside the gate of the Gongyuan, Master Zhu really has the eyes to recognize talents!"

Tao Jin pursed his lips tightly: "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Zong Zai..." He wanted to argue again, but Li Xiuming secretly pulled his sleeves and closed his mouth reluctantly.

Lu Ji was watching from the side, and when he heard "Mu Xiang", his heart sank. He wanted to sneak in while the three of them were not paying attention, but the deputy examiner, who was obviously Mu Heng's party member, suddenly raised his head and looked straight at him. :"come here."

Lu Ji secretly rolled his eyes, bit the bullet and walked back.

Master He stretched out his hand to pass his document, read it up and down, and said with a half-smile: "Oh? It was actually recommended by Master Shen?"

Lu Ji smiled on the face, but the eyes in his heart almost rolled to the sky. With this look of looking for faults, do you know who recommended him?

It seems that Mu Heng couldn't trouble Shen Zhiwei, so he turned his ideas on the person he recommended.It's just that he was sure that the document Shen Zhiwei gave would not be a scam, but he didn't know how this person could make things difficult for him.

Master He looked up and down the document, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Where do you say you are from?"

"Anyuan County, Yizhou..."

"You're not." He resolutely said in a cold voice, "Say, who exactly ordered you to come here for the exam!"

Lu Ji's blood froze all over his body, and his heart beat like a thunderous drum. He tried to calm down and said, "What do you mean, my lord? The student is indeed from Anyuan County. Could it be that my lord suspects that this document is fake?"

He believed that Shen Zhiwei would never show his feet in the document, so of course he had to insist at this moment, and he must not feel guilty!

Sure enough, Li Xiuming frowned slightly: "My lord, this document has been compared with the officials, and there is no mistake. Could it be that Master Tao suspects that the officials are hiding it for private reasons?"

"You're from the capital, so it's normal if you don't know." The man looked at Lu Ji and sneered, "I don't think you would have guessed that this official is from Anyuan County! Someone, take him down for me! "

The words rang in his ears like thunder, Lu Ji's eyes widened, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, what kind of fucking luck is this!

"Wait!" Seeing that the guards were coming to arrest him, Lu Ji hurriedly said, "Even if you are from Anyuan County, how can you say that the students are not!"

"Hehe, you young man, you don't shed tears when you see the coffin. Three generations of my family are from Anyuan County. Your accent is clearly wrong!" Official He squinted his eyes, revealing a little cold light.

Lu Ji persisted: "What's so strange about this! Although the student is from Anyuan, he came to the capital alone to make a living when he was young, so his accent is slightly different. What's wrong? The students are detained, and the students refuse to accept it!"

Unexpectedly, he actually said the same lines as the tall and thin brother, Lu Ji couldn't help but twitched his mouth.But his two words were very useful. Not only did Tao and Li ponder, but all the testers behind them also started whispering.

"My ancestral home is Jiangyin, but I don't know how to speak Jiangyin dialect..."

"Exactly, what's so strange about this, it's so arbitrary and unfair..."

Then Mr. He looked ugly, but he sneered twice: "Okay, okay, even if there is no conclusion on this matter, there is one more thing, if you can do it, this officer will not detain you."

He unfolded the document and pointed to the words on it: "You said that your family has been a craftsman for generations, but I ask you, why are you a craftsman? Since several generations have been doing this craft, there is no way you can't do it!"

"As long as you prove on the spot that you will, I will let you in!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Li Xiuming couldn't help but take a step forward: "Master He, it's already the beginning of the year, if you can't check and enter the venue after another hour, this scientific examination will be cancelled..."

"Hmph, why, I'm a deputy for Mu's blind date. Is it wrong to enforce the law impartially and strictly check his identity? You two are doing your best. This person's identity is so suspicious, and you two almost let him in. If you come out Now that there is a problem, are you two going to take care of it, or Master Zhu?"

Li Xiuming's complexion was slightly gloomy, his lips were tightly pressed for a long time, he raised his sleeves and gave a salute, then turned around and strode back to the door, Tao Jin also cupped his hands perfunctorily, returned to his original place, and began to check the next test, the speed Much faster than before.

Lu Ji stood there dumbfounded, and the surname He chuckled, shook his sleeves and left: "One hour, you can do it yourself." He went to the side of the pavilion and sat down under Shi Shiran, making it clear that he would not sneak in.

Many testers passed by one after another, and they all looked at Lu Ji with pity.

Lu Ji looked up at the rising sun above his head, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth!

Fuck his uncle Mu Heng, this is to prevent Shen Zhiwei's people from entering the court, and he has made some harmful moves!He has been working from dawn to dusk for half a year, if he prevents him from entering the examination room, he will definitely tear Mu Heng's skull off!

Depressed, Lu Ji found an open space and squatted down, staring blankly at the bare tree branches not far away.

What kind of skills can he have? Even if he has, what can he do in an hour?

If only I had a golden finger...

Wait, Goldfinger!

Lu Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, hey, he almost forgot that he still has a system, it is said that the system can give cheats to the host!

"System? Hello, 103?" Lu Ji called out a few times quietly, and said that the system hadn't appeared for a long time since he was reviewing with Shen Zhiwei An Ansheng.

Is the system gone?

As soon as this idea popped up, Lu Ji heard a familiar meow, he turned his head in a daze, and almost jumped up in fright.

The black cat squatted beside him. If the cat had any expression, it would be speechless now: "Host, what did you call me for?"

Lu Ji patted his heart, and found that Mr. He in the gazebo opposite was squinting over, coughed twice and squatted back.

One person and one cat squatted outside the tribute courtyard, and had the following conversation.

"Where have you been these days?"

"Host, I went back to the headquarters again."

"Why are you going back?"

"...Do you still remember that I said that there are some uncontrollable factors in this world?"

"I remember." Lu Ji nodded, looking at it suspiciously, "Did you find out? What uncontrollable factors?"

The black cat raised the tip of its tail and covered its eyes: "I can't tell you about the host, but...you'd better be careful with Shen Zhiwei."

Careful about Shen Zhiwei?

"Why?" Lu Ji felt a little uncomfortable, subconsciously retorted, "He won't harm me."

The black cat turned his face and looked at him with golden vertical pupils. Lu Ji remembered the person who also had amber eyes, and couldn't help coughing twice and turned his eyes away.

"Didn't you still say that you want me to treat him well and help him reach the pinnacle of life? Then we are allies, and everything is going smoothly now, so you don't have to worry."

The black cat paused, and seemed a little depressed: "Host, if you find out that I lied to you one day, what will happen to you?"

"Cheat me?" Lu Ji blinked, and suddenly said with a smirk, "Of course I made cat soup for you." Then he stretched out his hand to catch it threateningly.

But the black cat didn't move, flicking its tail, Lu Ji curled his lips in boredom, and squatted beside it with his hands folded.

"Actually, you lied to me. What can I do? I died inexplicably and ran here, and inexplicably added you. From the beginning to now, have I chosen? Who would have dared to force me to do things like this before? I have to fight him every minute."

The black cat nodded: "I know, I'm not afraid, because I know that the host is a good person, but the host, you can't be too kind..." It hesitated to speak, "Some things are actually not your fault, you There was no need to bear all the consequences by yourself.”

Lu Ji frowned: "What's the matter with you? Why did you go on this trip and talk about it? What are you talking about?"

The black cat seemed to be startled, shook its head in a hurry, and its figure began to fade: "No, host, you... Come on, if you can really complete the task, everything will be fine, if not, then I will go back to you!" Think of ways to……"

"Hey, don't go away! Don't you have a golden finger? The surname He asked me to perform a talent show on the spot. If I can't make it through, this task will be over immediately, okay?" Lu Ji rushed to the black cat, but the black cat had already disappeared into thin air.

"Host, I said that I can't interfere with your execution of the plot, but..."

A cat's paw suddenly appeared from the air, and he quickly pointed to the front, "Look at that, think again." After saying that, he retracted and disappeared.

"Hey!" Lu Ji looked at his grasping hand in frustration, raised his head and muttered, "What's in front, isn't it still that tree..."

Wait a moment……

Tree……

wood……

Lu Ji's eyes widened suddenly, woodcarving!

He raised his hand. In the past six months, he didn't go to the house to look over the box again. The calluses on the palm of his hand have faded a lot, and the tiger's mouth has more traces of holding a pen all year round.

If he remembered correctly, he was afraid of riding a horse, it was the instinct of the original owner's body... Then, could he also carve wood?

Lu Ji's heart beat wildly, he swallowed his dry throat, and suddenly stood up.

"Why did he get up?" In the gazebo, He Yuan, who was drinking tea, put down his cup and narrowed his eyes.

The servant at the side nodded and bowed: "Whether he gets up or squats, it's still not as comfortable as you, sir!"

He Yuan snorted, and shook his head triumphantly: "It's true that God wants me to take this credit, or the Right Prime Minister thought it through and transferred me to take the exam as a deputy, then Shen Zhiwei No matter how smart you are, you definitely can't think of this encounter, even though you didn't catch up with the other one, it's a great achievement for me to study this one."

"Yes, my lord is wise, my lord is perceptive, my lord..."

He Yuan was drinking tea with his head down, when a shadow suddenly fell in front of his eyes, and the boy beside him stuttered: "Big—bold! Why don't you know how to salute when you see your lord!"

He Yuan froze for a moment, suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, raised his head instantly, and saw a person standing in front of him with a smile.

"Han Miao?" He Yuan frowned and put on airs, "Why, you found that you couldn't do it, so you surrendered yourself to the official, because you are so determined to reform..."

"My lord, the students will carve wood carvings."

"Take it lightly... what?!" He Yuan's eyes widened, and the person in front of him seemed to be afraid that he would not hear him, so he took another step forward, but He Yuan couldn't help but backed away, stunned, "You, you Say what will you do?"

The man bowed and bowed, his facial features were ordinary, but his eyes were piercing: "Students mean that the family has been a carpenter for generations. Students can carve wood carvings."

With a crisp "snap", He Yuan brushed off the teacup and staggered two steps.

Outside the tribute courtyard, there were very few examinees waiting for the examination. The sundial placed at the door, the sun's shadow gradually tilted, and it was only two quarters away from Si Shi.

He Yuan sat comfortably in the gazebo, not only was there a brand new tea set, but also a charcoal brazier, and there was even another leg-beating servant.

Lu Ji stood outside the gazebo with his sleeves folded, the white steam he exhaled seemed to be frosted, and he looked coldly at He Yuan who was contented: "My lord, do you dare to ask when the things the students want will arrive?"

He Yuan closed his eyes comfortably: "Don't be in a hurry, the weather is cold and the road is slippery, so there will be delays on the road."

Lu Ji said coldly: "It's cold and the road is slippery, sir, these things come quickly. If the students remember correctly, there is a shop selling wood carving files in the two alleys outside the Gongyuan. Why can't the students go by themselves?"

He Yuan made a profound statement: "I thought you could understand my painstaking efforts. Now that you have doubts about your identity, if you leave without authorization, there is no guarantee that you will not be suspicious. The most important thing in learning is impatience, Han Sheng. You still have to practice a lot!"

go to hell!
