Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Outside the city of Jingchuan Province

Wu Bai got up and opened the curtain of the car, looking outside.

"My lord, we have already arrived outside the city, and we need to line up to get in." Yanshu said to Wu Bai.

"Well, I see." Wu Bai nodded.

Many students in the same company also opened the curtain to look outside. It took them five days to come from Fucheng this time. city.

"There are so many people in the provincial capital. When will they be able to enter the city?"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, we won't delay until the provincial examination."

"Haha, it's true."

Wu Bai put down the curtain again and sat back on his seat. Xiao Zimo said to him, "Your brother, are you bored in the carriage?"

"Fortunately, with Zimo on this journey, it's not boring." Wu Bai shook his head.

As the sun slanted, it was finally Wu Bai's turn. They passed the city guard's inspection and entered the city smoothly.

Everyone's carriage followed Huang Fuzi's carriage all the way, passed through several streets, and came to a secluded yard.

This is the yard under the name of Bailu Academy, which is specially prepared for the students who are rushing to take the exam. However, the township exam is held every three years to avoid the yard being abandoned. On weekdays, the yard will be rented out, and it will only be taken back before each township exam.

Master Huang took out the key from his pocket, opened the courtyard door, and led everyone in.

The yard was specially prepared for the students who participated in the provincial examination, so naturally there were many rooms, and soon everyone chose the room they liked to live in, and Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo's rooms were naturally next to each other.

After the room was selected, the master told them not to go out before the start of the provincial examination, so as not to be contaminated with right and wrong, which would be detrimental to the scientific examination.

The students naturally nodded in agreement.

Maybe it was reminded by the master that in the next ten days, none of the students left the courtyard to go out without permission, or maybe they saw that the students in the same class were working hard, and some students who were fascinated by the prosperity of the provincial capital also fell in love. Make up your mind to pick up the book.

The township examination is held once every three years, with three exams each time, and one day for each exam.

On the ninth day of October, as soon as Maoshi (five o'clock) arrived, Wu Bai was woken up by Yanshu, and he hurriedly got up to wash up.

After washing, he put his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, floating ticket (examination admission ticket), household registration, and security documents into the basket.

At this time, Xiao Zimo also finished washing, and he came over to eat the breakfast prepared by Yanqi for them with Wu Bai.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Zimo asked: "Brother Bai, can you put away all your things?"

Wu Bai nodded and said, "It's all set."

"Then let's go to the front yard. Master Huang said he would wait there and lead everyone to the Gongyuan." Xiao Zimo said.

"it is good."

When they arrived at the front yard, Master Huang and another master were waiting there, and there were already several students standing there. Wu Bai and his wife first said hello to the masters, and then nodded to the students.

After waiting for a while, Master Huang made a roll call according to the roster to make sure that all the students had arrived, and then asked them to carefully check whether there was anything missing in their belongings, and if they had forgotten anything, they would go back to their room immediately to get it.

Waiting for everyone to have no omissions, the sky has already brightened, and the time is up to Chen Shi (seven o'clock).

Master Huang took everyone in a carriage and headed for the provincial capital Gongyuan.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, there were already many students lining up in a long line, and Wu Bai and others also followed behind.

The provincial examination was invigilated by the chief examiner sent by the imperial court and the provincial capital Xuezheng and others as deputy examiners.

After another two hours of waiting, it was finally Wu Bai and the others' turn to be examined.

In order to prevent the students from putting the cheat sheet in the food, which would add mistakes to the screening, the Liang Dynasty abandoned the practice of students bringing their own food into the examination room in the previous dynasty, and distributed the food to the candidates uniformly by the Tribute Academy.

After inspection, Wu Bai and others entered the examination room smoothly, and found their dormitory according to the floating ticket.

After all the students had passed the inspection and entered the examination room to sit down, the chief examiner gave a symbolic word of encouragement to the candidates, and then began to distribute the examination papers.

It was noon, and the exam officially began, and it will not end until noon tomorrow.

The first round of the township examination consisted of three essays in four scripts and one poem in five characters and eight rhymes. This was no difficulty for many students, so there were only a few hundred students who passed the first round of the exam.

After the first exam, Wu Bai knew that there were more than 3000 students participating in the rural exam this time. This was what Yan Shu and his wife found out.

No student from Bailu Academy was dismissed in the first round, and several names were relatively high. The tense expressions on the faces of the two masters relaxed a little.

Soon it was the twelfth day, and Wu Bai and others followed the leadership of Master Huang to the Gongyuan again, entered the examination room, and took part in the second examination.

The second test is five scriptures, which is not too difficult for most students. As long as there are no typos, if you choose five scriptures from the Five Classics and write them down, you will most likely pass the second test.

It was the third exam that really screened out most of the students.

The third exam is more complicated, with five strategic questions, questions about classics and history, current affairs, and politics.

At the end of the provincial examination, only 350 candidates were selected as candidates, and the rest of the candidates were rejected and had to wait for three years to come back.

After the three exams, the results have not yet come out. Most of the students who were rejected in the first two exams have returned to their hometowns. As for a small number of students, they are still staying in the provincial capital to wait for the final results of the rural exams to be released.

Both Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo were candidates who successfully passed the first two rounds and entered the third round.

After the township examination, Mr. Huang no longer restrained them, and all the students went out together. Some of them were better informed, and they chose to attend the literary fair in the provincial capital. Prosperous appearance, if you have that kind of thought, you will buy something for your family.

Wu Bai had a small speaker called Yanshu by his side, and he was fairly well informed. He knew which restaurant was holding a literary meeting, and he also knew which teahouse in the provincial capital had the best jokes.

But after all, it was the first time they came to Jingchuan Province, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo finally decided to visit the provincial capital first, as for the Wenhui and so on, the results of the provincial examination have not yet been released, so it is better for them not to join in the fun.

The two strolled along the street from shop to house, and went in to have a look if they thought it was interesting.

Seeing Xiao Zimo buying gifts for Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, Wu Bai thought about it, and bought gifts for Wu Chengzhou and Nan Yiyun. Although he didn't like these two people, they were now his on the parents.

After buying something, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo walked out of the shop, Wu Bai said to Yanshu, "You two take the things back first."

Yan Shu worried: "How can we leave the young master and go back by ourselves?"

Wu Bai comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not alone, and I'm accompanied by Zimo, you can come out to play after putting away your things."

"Okay then, Young Master Xiao must take good care of my young master." Yan Shu looked at Xiao Zimo and begged.

Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother Bai will be taken care of by me."

As soon as Yanshu and the others left, Wu Bai said, "We're done shopping, why don't we find a teahouse to rest and listen to books?"

"Alright." Xiao Zimo nodded.

Wu Bai suggested: "Yanshu told me that there is a teahouse ahead that will publish a new book today, why don't we just go to that one?"

"Let's go then."

The two soon came to the teahouse, and Wu Bai was bumped by someone as soon as he entered the door. However, he was stable and did not fall, but the person who bumped him fell to the ground.

Xiao Zimo hurriedly expressed concern to Wu Bai: "Brother Bai, are you alright?"

Wu Bai waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

So the two looked at the person who fell to the ground. The other person was a woman in silk.

The woman saw that she was the one who fell down, but Xiao Zimo cared about Wu Bai instead, and she was furious. She was helped up by the maid and immediately scolded Wu Bai angrily: "Don't you have eyes, how dare you bump into this lady?" , I think you are impatient."

Hearing this, Wu Bai frowned slightly, and before he could speak, the other party came over again and cursed.

"If you don't kneel down and apologize to Miss Ben today, don't think Miss Ben will let you go..."

Everyone in the restaurant also looked towards the door, and everyone murmured when someone recognized the woman.

"This lady from the same acquaintance is too arrogant."

"Ham, what is this? When she was even more arrogant, she fell in love with a handsome student before and insisted on forcing him to divorce his wife and marry her. Fortunately, the student's family background is not simple, and she has some relationship with the magistrate. Settle her entanglement."

"Another time, when she was eating in a restaurant, she accidentally sprained her foot by the threshold when she went out. The restaurant insisted on paying her 1000 taels of silver, otherwise she would not give up."

"Hiss~~1000 taels!"

"Then did you pay in the end?"

"I paid, but only paid 200 taels. I heard that the shopkeeper of the restaurant sued her for blackmail, and finally made a fuss in front of the magistrate. After mediation, she only paid 200 taels. However, the restaurant also attracted her father's grudge, and now it is about to fail. Go on, it is said that the shopkeeper plans to sell the restaurant and move to the county."

"That's not all. There was another time when she went out shopping and saw another lady with clothes similar to hers, so she had to force that lady to take off her clothes on the street."

"Is there no one in charge?"

"Who dares to care, her father is a co-prefect, second only to the magistrate, as long as he doesn't offend the magistrate, who dares to provoke her."

"In this case, these two people are going to be unlucky."

"Looking at the way these two are dressed, they are probably candidates for the provincial examination. It's really bad luck that they will bump into this unruly young lady."

"I just happened to see that it was the young lady who was walking too fast and bumped into the examinee."

"Look at her posture, these two candidates must be stripped to the bottom!"

At the door, Wu Bai saw that the other party was talking more and more vigorously, and said, "Have you finished?"

The woman froze for a moment, then cursed.

"It seems that I haven't finished talking. You are so tired of talking standing at the door. Why don't you sit on the table and continue talking." Wu Bai pointed to the table reserved for the storyteller in the center of the lobby.

The woman followed Wu Bai's finger and looked up the stage. Seeing Wu Bai comparing herself with the storyteller, she felt even more annoyed, and she raised her hand to fan Wu Bai.

Xiao Zimo took a step forward, trying to block for Wu Bai, but Wu Bai forcefully pulled him behind him.

Wu Bai grabbed the woman's hand and slapped her back.

"Snapped!"

All of a sudden, the whole teahouse was unbelievably quiet, and everyone stared at the door, dumbfounded.

The woman also looked at Wu Bai in disbelief, unable to believe that the other party dared to treat her like this!

Wu Bai pulled Xiao Zimo, bypassed her, and came to the counter, wanting the shopkeeper to open a private room on the second floor for them, but the shopkeeper saw that the lady who knew her family left angrily, and knew something was wrong, so how could he return to the counter? He dared to let Wu Bai and the others stay in his teahouse, and immediately rejected Wu Bai and the others with panic eyes.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was really scared, Wu Bai no longer insisted, and walked out of the teahouse with Xiao Zimo.

Sure enough, not long after they left, the young lady came to the teahouse with a dozen servants, but Wu Bai was not found in the teahouse after searching all over the teahouse. She was about to turn her anger on the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

At this time, someone said something: "I saw that the two of you went out and turned left just now. Miss, you may be able to catch up if you catch up now."

The young lady looked at the person who was speaking, and found that the person was a man who looked like Pan Anan, and the person was looking at her affectionately, she immediately blushed, thanked the man for his blessing, and hesitated. Follow the servant to chase out the door.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse was rescued, he walked up to the man gratefully, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for helping me out of the siege, today you will be exempted from all my expenses here."

"Hahaha, I will accept it with a smile." The man replied with a smile.
