Reborn the wonderful life of ancient times

The front of the county government office was brightly lit, and the surrounding area was illuminated by a row of red lanterns.The students carrying the test basket, and the family member Yan Kui, who was sending the test, wandered back to the village to lead the way. Do not use the lead on the bag ------" father and son love People saw that Ouyang Zhi's servant Laiwang was standing in front of the yamen, waving from a distance, and Ouyang Zhi was standing beside him.

Squeezing over quickly, Ouyang Zhi pointed to the long queue and said, "It's just right, my servants are at the front, and we can go in as soon as the door opens." Lin Zimo looked carefully, didn't he?The people who ranked third to sixth were the servants of Ouyang's family whom they knew, and they were grinning at Lin Zimo at this time.

He often let out a sigh of relief, he was scared to death when he saw this endless line just now, if he was at the end of the line, he would be exhausted waiting to get in.Carrying the test basket, several people changed with the servants, and stood there happily.

The students in the back quit: "Hey, the ones in front, why don't you line up and add one yourself." No one answered, and Lai Wang hurriedly said: "We are the servants of the mansion, and we came to line up for the master early. Is there anything wrong with changing masters standing here now?" The people behind were speechless and muttered: "Is there any servant? When I enter school and pass the exam as a scholar, I will also buy ten or eight servants. People order."

At this moment, the gate of the yamen opened with a "squeak", and more than a dozen soldiers and yamen servants came out to maintain order. Two small officials began to check and let the students in.

Chong Lin Huaide, who was watching them worriedly, shook his hand, and several people entered the gate.On the left side of the gate of the yamen, a board room was temporarily set up. The students put the test baskets outside the door for inspection, walked into the board room by themselves, and took off their clothes from head to toe, leaving only a pair of trousers. Let's check.Although there was a brazier in the room, it was so cold that people were shivering. After the inspection, they carried the test basket and entered the second gate. There was a big test shed set up in the yard, supported by thick wooden pillars. The wooden roof is only nailed with wooden boards on the walls on both sides. The front and back are covered with cloaks, and long tables and long benches are neatly arranged inside.

Each table and stool is shared by four students. The tables and stools are mottled and mottled, and some of them will creak randomly when they are moved slightly.Several people were stunned. Ouyang Zhi had never seen this scene because his family kept suppressing him and made him accumulate a lot of money.

Lin Zimo, on the other hand, has read a lot of novels before, so he understands a little bit: "The exam is the most important thing, don't think about anything else." If the official doesn't repair the yamen, even his own yamen, who cares about what desk and chair you take for the exam!It is not bad if you are not allowed to sit cross-legged on the ground for the exam.

The official came over.Lead the crowd to find seats and sit down. Students in the same school will never have their test numbers next to each other to prevent cheating.Lin Zimo's examination number occupied the seat next to the west wall. Fortunately, the seat for the four of them was made by him at the far end.Looking from both sides, most of the candidates have already taken their seats, and the three people sitting with Lin Zimo have also arrived. They are all older than Lin Zimo, and the last one has gray hair and is still preparing for the test with a test basket.

On the fifth watch of February and a half, people can be frozen into dogs. Lin Zimo's table and stool are relatively strong, and at least four people can sit on it without making any noise.Many students from poor families or unprepared students were all shivering from the cold, blowing their noses with handkerchiefs one after another, opened their test baskets, and retracted their hands into their sleeves from time to time to keep warm.

Lin Zimo calmed down, and with a half cotton gloved hand, he calmly arranged his things.Cotton trousers and padded jacket, outer cotton robe, and a navy blue cape with gray rabbit fur inside, the three brothers' clothes are low-key and warm.

The sun gradually rose, and a quiet and solemn atmosphere enveloped the examination room. After a while, he remembered the yamen servant's announcement: "My lord is here." Lin Zimo looked from a distance, and a man wearing a seventh-rank official robe came to the main hall. Behind the table above, the specific facial features could not be seen clearly.

Then, the adult said a few words, as if to encourage everyone, but he couldn't hear clearly.Then several small officials held the wooden board and slowly walked back and forth in the aisle of the examination table, so that all candidates could see the examination questions stuck on it.

Lin Zimo quickly picked up the pen and copied the title.One question is from the Four Books, the other is from the Five Classics, and the last is a test post poem with five characters and eight rhymes.

Lin Zimo has read the previous examination questions and summed it up. The scholar's examination questions are narrative essays, Juren's narrative essays and essays, and Jinshi examinations are pure essays.After a whole morning, Lin Zimo wrote both articles on straw paper, continuing Lin's strategy, conceived the vernacular in his mind, and then transformed it into classical Chinese and wrote it.

The sun was already at the top of the head, and the county magistrate had already returned to the back hall. There were only a few officials walking back and forth in the examination room, surrounded by soldiers holding guns.Bending down to take out the food prepared in the test basket, Lin Zimo started to eat lunch slowly.The pea yellow that Aunt Li is good at is made into the shape of small plum blossoms, one bite at a time, which saves people from choking.Thinly sliced ​​donkey meat and hard-boiled lightly salted eggs are wrapped in thin cotton veils, not cold at all.With the sweet cabbage heart, the combination of meat and vegetables is easy to swallow, and it is a delicious meal.As for the cold white water in the jug, Lin Zimo didn't dare to drink too much, because he was afraid of getting cold in his stomach, but because running to the toilet was too much trouble, otherwise he would be disqualified.

The people next to him glanced at him enviously, and immediately turned their heads. If they were caught looking around, it would be considered cheating.After eating, I cleaned up, took off the glove on my right hand, and wrote the test questions carefully on the paper. The fair lower case has obviously improved a lot.

As for poetry, after thinking about it, I simply copied a miscellaneous poem. Anyway, this era is a fictional era, and I am not afraid of being seen.Pick up a pen and write: You come from your hometown, you should know the things of your hometown.In front of the Qi window in the coming day, the plum blossoms are not yet blooming.

Nodding in satisfaction, he saw that someone had stood up in front of him and raised his hands to stand up. A small official came to collect the test papers. Lin Zimo picked up his test basket and went to the gate to go out.

From a distance, I saw my eldest brother and several people standing there, hurriedly walked over, under the guard of the soldiers, I didn't dare to make any noise, and quietly waited next to my eldest brother.

It wasn't until the bell for handing in the papers rang that the second brother and Ouyang Zhishi Shiran came out.The three brothers and Ouyang Zhi walked out of the yamen together with the flow of students.
