Chapter 43: Government Exam

The palace examination is about to begin, and in a blink of an eye, it is the third day of June.

The sixth day of the lunar month was the palace examination, so Chen Kaiyi arrived at the school early, and Teacher Wu was already organizing the county students who took the exam to take the exam to Xuanwu County.

Seeing Chen Kaizhi coming, Wu Zhizhi no longer looked like the cold face he used to be. His old face turned slightly red. He actually gave Chen Kaizhi a smile and said, "Kaizhi, this time I take a good exam, I am still optimistic about you."

This calm attitude is like everyone has never celebrated a festival before.

Chen Kaizhi knew that he realized that the wind was wrong at this time, and sneered in his heart, but said on his face: "My Lord can look down on me, the student is ashamed, oh, why didn't you see Classmate Zhang?"

Classmate Zhang naturally refers to Zhang Ruyu. Wu Zhiyu has a family relationship with the Zhang family, but now he is not easy to offend Chen Kaizhi. Obviously, he doesn't want to mention Zhang Ruyu, but just said lightly: "This guy, he is very naughty, you don't have to pay attention to him."

It's really good that power is good, because he has a good relationship with Zhu County, and Wu Zhiyu actually changed his attitude towards him. But he didn't know what Zhang Ruyu would think when he learned that Wu Zhiyu was evaluating him like this.

However, what Chen Kaizhi values ​​most is this mansion trial, and he has no intention of intrigue with others.

Dozens of county students gathered together, and dozens of students who did not attend the county school, a total of seventy or eighty. Then Wu led the team and together with a few officers, he set off.

Xuanwu County is not far from here, and in a blink of an eye, Teacher Wu arranged accommodation uniformly and roughly explained some things to pay attention to.

This place is not far from the county school in Xuanwu County, and the inn is specially prepared for the students. When the seventy or eighty students who took the exam left, they immediately became noisy and called each other to their friends.

Just like Yang Jie, who is just here to live, has already found a few friends. He wants to see the "black Internet cafe" in Xuanwu County and exchange experiences with each other. It is a pity that we met too late.

Of course, people like Chen Kaizhi have no interest in getting together with them, so they will naturally go back to their room to study and prepare for the exam.

The next morning, Chen Kaizhi got up, but heard a quarrel outside, and someone whispered loudly: "I'm so bullying, I caught more than a dozen..."

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly walked out and saw many students talking. After inquiring, he realized that Yang Jie and others were blocked by Xuanwu County staff in the "black Internet cafe". They were arrested overnight and beaten to the county government office, but they have not been released yet.

Chen Kaizhi felt chills in his heart, but he couldn't help but wonder, why did he get stuck just now when he checked in? It seems... this was done by Xuanwu County. This time, he caught 30% of their students and eliminated 20% of their competitors.

It’s okay for Yang Jie to be a scammer like this. Chen Kaizhi remembered that last night, there were a few students who were usually very hard-working, but they couldn’t help but invite Yang Jie and others. As young people, they were under a lot of psychological pressure when they were about to take the exam, so they followed Yang Jie and others to relax. As a result...

It seems...be careful.

Chen Kaizhi did not join their discussion and went to the other county for examination. Moreover, the two counties still had competitive relationships with each other, so they had probably set their sights on them.

Moreover, Xuanwu County has been taking over the prefecture examination for many years, and now they are determined to win this. For the magistrate of Xuanwu County, if Jiangning County gains the upper hand this time, it will be a dereliction of duty. How can I explain to the people of Xuanwu County?

Swords and shadows!

Chen Kaizhi did not get involved in the criticism of his classmates, and hid in the room, read and wrote, and did not let anyone catch the handle.

He was very confident in this exam. After all, he never forgets everything and has a teacher to give a point and write an article. It is not a problem. And the most important thing is that this era is not a test of eight-legged essays. In a sense, if the examiners set questions, the students can play freely, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the exam.

I stayed in the inn for two days, and many strange things happened during this period.

Just last night, some guy who had a son and had no chance of having a son set off firecrackers outside the inn. Chen Kaizhi stuffed cotton wool into his ears before he could barely fall asleep. The next morning, he was still a little tired, but today was the exam period and he couldn't be neglected. Chen Kaizhi packed up his test tools, one for the exam, a bottle of ink and a brush, and in addition, he also had his own household registration and academic qualifications.

Ink is a must-have, because inkstones are not allowed during the exam. It is said that in the past few years, many people engraved the cheating content on the inkstone in small words, and then applied charcoal mud. In this way, when they brought it in, they could not see anything like ordinary inkstones. When they entered the examination room, they wiped it with their hands and the word appeared. Since then, all the inks in Jinling have been brought in.

After checking several times, there was no problem. At this time, a servant from Xuanwu County School came and led everyone to the county school. The county school was already on high alert. Hundreds of servants and soldiers from the county inspectors stood with their swords and defended here.

Just for a hundred candidates to take the exam, just like this, it’s really...

At this time, Chen Kaizhi learned why the Great Chen Dynasty ruled the country with a literacy and law. Even if it was just a test, it was still a big deal.

When entering the county school, you need to search for your body. A servant pulled Chen Kaizhi to one side and started to search for clothes. Kaolan was taken by a servant on the other side to search. After the search was completed, Chen Kaizhi took Kaolan back and then led him to the county school Minglun Hall. Logically speaking, he had to meet the examiner at this time.

In Minglun Hall, the Zheng County Magistrate of Xuanwu County and the officials of the county school were sitting here, and the students came to salute one after another.

Chen Kaizhi also imitated them, bowed with his hands, and said, "Student Chen Kaizhi, I have met the Lord of Enfu."

The so-called Enfu means a teacher. Whoever is the chief examiner will be considered half a teacher, but this does not count, and it can only be said to be a kind of respect for the examiner.

The magistrate Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard the three words Chen Kaizhi, and stroked his beard and said, "But Chen Kaizhi, who wrote the Goddess of Luo River, is amazing. He is so talented at a young age. I am very happy to wait and see. Chen Shengshi takes the exam."

When others came to visit, the magistrate of Zheng always spoke coldly and nodded and shouted "Okay", but his attitude towards Chen Kaizhi was so like a spring breeze, which made others envious.

Chen Kaizhi felt that the magistrate Zheng was smiling very kindly, and he felt good in his heart: "Yes, the students will definitely live up to their expectations."

"Haha..." Zheng County Magistrate stroked his beard: "It's good to have this confidence. This county attaches great importance to your articles and the piano music. I am a destiny official, and my court's talent is a matter of course."

Chen Kaizhi thanked him again, and then, under the leadership of the civil servant, he walked to the examination room.

Well...that Zheng County is pretty good.

Sitting down in the examination room, waiting for a few sticks of incense, then I heard a cannon.

The exam has begun.

A servant raised a wooden sign, and the test questions were taken on the wooden sign. After passing through the examination room one by one, the test papers began to be distributed. The wooden sign clearly read: "How high is Mount Tai?"

How good is the mountains?

This test question is considered to be a fair rule, but in fact it is to ask the candidates to write an article to praise the height of Mount Tai.

Of course, this article must not deviate from the main theme of the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise it will be a rebellious.

Chen Kaizhi had a good literary foundation in his previous life. In the past few months, he has memorized many books. With Mr. Fang's guidance, he spread out the test papers with confidence and began to do drafts in his heart.

Thanks to my hard study, in just a moment, my thoughts surged into my heart. Sure enough.........It's better to have a high IQ.

Chen Kaizhi was delighted, opened the ink cartridge, picked up the pen, and was about to dip the ink to answer the sheet, suddenly... he felt a little strange.

Hey, where is the ink?
