I didn't touch the book just now, and I relied on my own memory, Zeng Jiting suddenly realized that he had made many mistakes and made mistakes, and he found many deficiencies after checking and filling in the gaps, and he was no longer in a daze, but concentrated on memorizing these places.As for the lake garden, he also found a weakness in himself.There are often more words in ancient texts, which have been simplified and easy to write in modern times, and he will be accustomed to using simplified writing, such as 匵字 will be written for sale, which is also what he needs to focus on improving.Sure enough, Confucius said that there must be my teacher in the threesome.He picked out all the words and practiced them three times, and when he was sure that he would not make any more mistakes, the time had slipped away quietly, the sky was dark, and Ji Ting looked up, only to find that he had actually consumed an afternoon!
However, the afternoon was very fruitful, and he revisited what he had done wrong, and now his confidence was so great that he was ready to go back and review the other books as they were.Hu Ting originally wanted to send him home, but Ji Ting waved his hand, "It's all the road I'm used to, it's only a few miles, can I still get lost?"
I don't send it, I don't send it. ”He took a lantern, and Huting watched in the courtyard as the lantern turned into small yellow dots all the way, and finally disappeared into the alley.Although Jiting is a little more reckless in terms of qualifications, fortunately, diligence can make up for his clumsiness, and he is more attentive himself, and there is still a great chance of this government examination.Besides, he is not very old, and he still has a lot of time to work on.Following.Because he had to go out for the exam, considering the long distance, he planned to wait until the results and then come back from Fucheng, which would take a month, and it was the time to hand over the secret recipe once every three months, Zeng Huting took time out to go to Sister Fang.It was still Niu Bo's car, sent to the mouth of the alley, after he got out of the car, he looked at it, the low courtyard wall, the muddy road, and the snooping crowd, and felt that this place was messy, and it was not conducive to the secrecy of the secret recipe for snacks.Sister Ke Fang grew up here, the neighborhood is familiar, and she can also ask the little girl and aunt to help her at a low price, she is reluctant to move away for the time being, and only strengthens the courtyard wall to prevent prying eyes."
Bad luck!"
At the mouth of the alley that turned the corner, Zeng Huting didn't expect someone to come out of that end and didn't look at the road, so he bumped into him, and before he could say anything, the other party spoke first.At the moment of collision, Hu Ting first saw the jade pendant that the person exposed from the corner of the robe, crystal clear jade quality, obviously a rare good jade, how could the person who brought the jade pendant come to such a small alley.Curious, he walked to the bottom of the alley, turned his head again, and approached the man.The person with the jade pendant came out of the alley, first rubbed the mud on the soles of his shoes in disgust, and said to the person who bowed his head and waist, "This family refuses to buy the secret recipe." ”Secret recipe?
Hu Ting caught these two words and quietly got a little closer, but the two were too far apart and could only hear a few words intermittently."
Won't sell?
Add money?
”"Add another hundred!
No one doesn't like money. ”"Hmph, don't toast and don't eat and drink.""
Let's go."
The two people at the mouth of the alley left, Zeng Huting was thoughtful, would it be what he thought?
In this small alley, only the snacks that Sister Fang is making can be called a secret recipe.So someone has taken a fancy to the secret recipe and plans to buy it?
The author has something to say: I actually insisted on updating for so long!
Big Break!
Give yourself a Momoda!
Chapter 22 If Zeng Huting came for an interview, he would be willing to sell the secret recipe.First of all, these secret recipes are not top secret, and experienced veteran chefs only need to try five or six more times to restore the taste.Besides, there were more recipes in his mind than that.On the contrary, now because the move requires silver, it is best to make a quick profit.But this is also the business that he and Sister Fang decided together, if Sister Fang wants to make money for a long time, he can't force it.Let's wait to meet and see Sister Fang's reaction.Zeng Huting entered the alley, most of the surrounding yards were old and decayed, and the specially renovated yard was really conspicuous, he knocked on the door, Sister Fang came over to open the door, and smiled as usual, "Brother Zeng, you are here, I also said that if you don't come again, I will send you this month's dividend." ”"Recently, the exam was slightly delayed for a few days."
Zeng Huting said by the way that he might not be in the town for more than a month, and wrote out the new secret recipe that he just handed in next month in advance.Sister Fang solemnly folded the white paper and locked it in the mahogany box, she had a special preservation for these secret recipes, and after putting them away, she did not mention that someone came to buy the secret recipe.Zeng Huting thought about it and nodded at them, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
I'm not here, and it's slow to send letters back and forth, so it's best for us to discuss in advance if you have any questions. ”"Nope."
Sister Fang's husband spoke first, "I won't delay Brother Zeng's time, we can solve any problems." ”He also pulled Sister Fang with his hand, and Sister Fang had no choice but to nod.Waiting for Zeng Huting to leave, Sister Fang asked suspiciously, "What are you pulling me for?"
Someone came to buy the secret recipe, shouldn't we tell Brother Zeng?
”After all, they are in business together, and they should always be informed.Sister Fang's husband was sick and rested in his early years, and after the family conditions improved, he could afford to take medicine, and gradually recovered his vitality.Definitely can't sell it!
What will you do to make a living after selling our family?
A secret recipe can be eaten for several lifetimes if you keep it in your hand!
”Just like a family heirloom, how can it be sold so easily?
Unless there is a suitable price code."
We won't sell it, isn't it futile to worry Brother Zeng when we say it?
He's going to an exam, which will affect his mood. ”The husband swore an oath, and when Sister Fang thought about it, it made sense, so she didn't mention it again.Zeng Huting brought back the two taels of silver for this dividend, thought about it, and handed over two taels to Zeng Fengnian, leaving five coins for himself.It is the money in the hand that does not panic.Without further ado, Zeng Jiting's father hired two carriages, two here, and four cars began to hit the road.Walking on the official road, not to mention flat, you can still see passing caravans and pedestrians from time to time.Zeng Huting sat in one by himself, the carriage was the most ordinary blue curtain car, a horse pulled, and there was only one person in the car, and he put the books and a few sets of clothes that he often read.The carriage does not have a shock absorption system, and the whole body will vibrate with the vehicle, in this case, let alone reading, it is good if there is no motion sickness.Zeng Huting could only move forward and sit on the wheels to breathe.After a while, Ji Ting came over with a pale face, and said weakly, "Hu Ting, do you have any cure for motion sickness?"
”"What's wrong?"
Zeng Huting supported him and let him rest by the carriage shed, and at the same time took out the orange peel sachet that had been prepared for him to smell, the refreshing smell of orange peel and mint sniffed into his brain, and the feeling of nausea was reduced, and with a cool breeze blowing on his face, Zeng Jiting came back to life, "I don't want to waste time, I read in the carriage, and I only read for half an hour, and I was dizzy."
I think you've been prepared to come here. ”Sure enough, he guessed right."
I've never been out of the door so far, and I don't usually get dizzy when I ride in an ox cart, so what if I faint all the way?
There are still three days to go. ”Zeng Jiting was embarrassed, and the excitement of going out just now was gone.He saw a lot of scenery along the way, and he was still excited, but after half an hour, he was dumbfounded."
Poof, you're not diligent and not diligent in the right place."
Zeng Huting explained with a smile, "Everyone has a place in their head to be in charge of balance, some people are born without motion sickness, and some people get dizzy when they sit in the car, the situation is different."
But reading in the car will definitely make you dizzy, you better have a good rest, if you can recover after half an hour, it should only be the dizziness caused by reading.It doesn't affect your carriage ride. ”This is the problem in his previous life, he doesn't get sick, but he must not do other behaviors, because he is worried that this problem is still there, so he prepared orange peel sachets, just in case.As a result, it was used by Jiting.They talked about the topic casually in the carriage, and as time went on, Jiting's face gradually improved, and finally recovered a little.Seeing the two teenagers in the back row talking together, Zeng Jiting's father Zeng Xuanzhao was very satisfied.The financial resources of his family are not up or down in the entire clan, and they are more than enough than the bottom, and it is the time when he needs to break through, so he gritted his teeth and sent his second son to study.It's a pity that the second son is not a reading material, it will be a fluke to be able to show talent in the future, he looked at it coldly, but the lake in the next room is a reading material, much more powerful than his own children, and he is also stable.So he saw that his stupid son had a good relationship with Zeng Huting, and he was very satisfied, and even offered to send someone to Fucheng, just to make a good fate.And each with his own thoughts, the carriage traveled all morning, and at noon came near a post station.The post station was originally a place for passing officials to eat and lodging, and occasionally the merchants could live with enough money, but there were so many pedestrians passing by that not everyone could afford to live in the post station, so a small-scale family inn was gradually formed, and each family vacated one or two rooms for the merchants to live in, and the money collected could also subsidize the family.There are even clever stalls, in addition to tea and snacks.I saw someone greet enthusiastically at this moment, "Meat sandwich bun!"
The freshest meat bun!
”Zeng Huting, who was getting out of the car, heard the sound so suspenseful, he followed the sound and looked, the pie-like pattern painted on the coarse cloth signboard was seven or eight points higher than the trademark he painted, and the price was the same."
It's a meat bun, daddy!
I didn't expect it to be sold here, Dad, how about we eat here?
”Jiting turned his head to look at his father, and excitedly decided to eat at noon.His father didn't object, so the four of them gathered around a table and looked at the menu on the sign.In addition to the common steamed buns and shredded pork noodles, it is meat sandwich buns, so they ordered four bowls of shredded pork noodles and meat sandwich buns, as well as a tofu soup.Zeng Huting tasted it carefully, it had been imitated to the level of seventy or eighty percent, he had already said that the meat sandwich bun was not a very confidential recipe, and it was normal for it to be imitated by the old chef.What people can't imitate is always constantly innovating, so that innovative people eat meat in the front, and imitate people drink soup in the back.Just thinking about it, a donkey cart stopped in front of the shop, and the driver shouted to stop the donkey cart, got off the cart, and held an old woman, the old woman's hair was gray, although her clothes were old, but they were clean, and the driver's facial features were five or six points like, it should be the relationship between mother and child.The young man who was driving the car was about twenty years old, and his face was still immature, and he helped the old woman to the front of the shop, "Boss, how do you sell your noodles?"
How much is somen and shredded pork noodles?
What if you add meat and noodles?
”"Plain noodles.Six pieces of shredded meat, two pieces of meat, and one article of noodles.It doesn't cost money to add soup. ”"The meat bun?""
Sanwen one!

If you are a four-word, you will get a bowl of soup. ”"Okay, then give me a bowl of shredded pork noodles!
Add soup!
”The boss shouted loudly, "A bowl of shredded meat noodles!"
Add soup!
”The back kitchen also pandered when he heard it.The young man looked at the table in the shop and took an empty bowl again, "You don't need to pay for the bowl, right?"
”The boss said suspiciously, "No." ”What do you do with an empty bowl?
The young man smiled and said to the man, "The soup is in this empty bowl. ”The man agreed, and came out of the back kitchen with half a bowl of noodle soup, still steaming in vain.The shredded pork noodles were also quickly served, full of bowls and bowls, and several pieces of meat and vegetables were spread, and the portions were full.Then the young man said, "Give me a piece of bread." ”"Okay!
Add noodles here!
”The guy scooped up the boiled white noodles with a bamboo colander and put them on the shredded meat noodles.He was still very curious about what the guest was going to do, so he saw the guest put the noodles in the bowl where the soup was originally added, and put the pieces of meat into the soup bowl, and pushed them in front of the old woman, "Eat noodles, mother." ”"You eat, my mother is not hungry, it doesn't matter if you eat less, you still have to catch the car and are about to eat more."
The old woman carried the shredded meat into the young man's bowl, and the two pushed them around, and at last divided the pieces of meat equally.Zeng Fengnian saw it clearly, and couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh, "Interesting and interesting!"
”This young man is too good at exploiting loopholes, he has not met such an interesting person in a long time."
What's interesting?"
Zeng Jiting was stunned for a moment, and pushed the lake court next to him.The two tables were not far from each other, and Zeng Huting was lowering his voice and saying to him, "How much is a bowl of somen noodles with shredded meat?"
”"Jiuwen."
Jiting also heard the boss's offer."
Shredded pork noodles, how much does it cost to add noodles?""
Qiwen.""
But are they eating less food?""
Nope!"
Zeng Jiting's mind turned around suddenly, "He saved two cents!"
”No wonder Uncle Feng said he was funny!
The author has something to say: This chapter comes from an author who must faint when reading a book in a car, and the boss of Chapter 23 looked at the seven copper coins in his hand in a daze, and did not turn to this corner, and the young man had already gotten into the donkey cart and drove the slow old donkey away."
That's too stingy!"
When Zeng Jiting got into the carriage after eating, he was still thinking about it, and complained all the way."
It's all poor."
Zeng Huting lowered the curtain of the car, "I see the one who drove the donkey cart, the car has lost its paint, and the donkey is old and can't walk, if he has other ways, he won't do it." ”When you have money, everyone wants to maintain their dignity.Zeng Jiting recalled the details and silently shut up, it was indeed difficult for him to imagine that someone was bothering about two pennies.The time in the carriage is very boring, I can only chat with my companions to pass the time, and if I have the heart to do something else, I can only hold back.Shaking and shaking, and finally surviving three days, when the sun had set, they saw the continuous city wall, and the word Chengzhou with iron and silver hooks hung in the center."
Hurry up, the city gates are closed!"
The gatekeeper saw the approaching carriage from afar, and hurriedly greeted him, complaining, "It is a coincidence that the gate is half closed." ”After a little more delay, the gates of the city will be closed."
Thank you, thank you!"
Zeng Xuanzhao was in a hurry, and at the same time stuffed the copper plate with his hand, "Delay everyone's time, please drink tea." ”The city gate guard weighed the copper plate in his hand, and was very satisfied, he made a favor again, "There is an inn two miles away from the city gate, clean and comfortable, and the one with red lanterns is it." ”"Thank you, thank you!"
It's all night, it's hard to find a place to stay, and it's best to find it as quickly as possible.The red lanterns were conspicuous at night, and they drove four carriages, a group of eight people, and the shopkeeper arranged for a large room for the coachman, and two medium rooms, which could accommodate two people."
The wallet of the hotel has breakfast and hot water, and the lunch has to be paid separately, and the three rooms of Shenghui have a total of 150 Wen."
The shopkeeper fiddled a few times on the abacus and calculated the total price."
So expensive?"
Zeng Jiting immediately exclaimed."
The children are not sensible, and the shopkeeper forgives me.However, this is indeed much higher than in our county. ”Zeng Xuanzhao interrupted Ji Ting's words and asked with a smile."
Of course it's not so expensive in normal times, but now it's not for the government to try, that is, I'm far away from the city gate at this price, No, the inn next to the test shed, five hundred wen a night!"
The shopkeeper replied disapprehantly.Zeng Xuanzhao silently handed over the silver and dinner money, and went back to the room first.They had been in the carriage for a day and had long wanted to rest.Washed off the dust with hot water, ate a hot meal, and rested at the inn.The same is true for Zeng Fengnian, he also brought most of the silver this time, thinking that he would rent it as soon as there was a suitable yard, and now he thinks that the silver is probably not enough.It costs more than three taels of silver to live in an inn a month, and renting a yard is even more expensive.Zeng Fengnian used to be an official, but except for the daily Bing Jing Tan Jing, he didn't take the rest, so he lived a poor life, and only saved 1,500 taels of silver for most of his life.More than 400 of this money has been crossed out, and there are more than 1,000 taels left, and there are still many places where money is needed.This part of the money should be prepared in advance.It seems that the plan to move to Fucheng is hopeless, and it may be more appropriate to go to the county seat.Zeng Fengnian tossed and turned, Zeng Huting, who was in the same room with him, couldn't sleep himself, he suddenly asked, "Is my father worried about money?"
”In the darkness, his eyes sparkled.Zeng Fengnian didn't want to say it, but when he thought about it, the kid could see it, but if he didn't say it, he was even more worried, so he nodded, worried that he couldn't see it, and said yes."
If it's not enough money, I can think of a way.""
What do you kid think?
Now the most important thing to concentrate on is the exam, if you need to figure out a way, doesn't it show that I am incompetent?
”Zeng Fengnian teased, "Okay, go to sleep, I'll go out early tomorrow morning to see if I can find a chance." ”The boat naturally went straight to the bridge, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find a way out.After a night of adjustment, the next day the spirit of the four of them was much better, and the hired carriage returned first, and they had to stay in Fucheng for a month.It was the beginning of March, and the two fathers went out to find a closer inn.Jiting and Huting discussed to find the location of the examination shed in advance.The examination booth is usually next to the office of the prefect, which also means that it is in the center of the prefecture city, which is bustling and lively, and it is not suitable for candidates who are preparing for the exam.But there is another advantage, the closer you live, come early, the sooner you finish the inspection, you don't have to wait in line in front of everyone.Zeng Huting only knew that the city was very big before, but he didn't know that it was so big!
After asking about the direction of the examination shed, he walked all the way with Jiting, and it took more than an hour to arrive, sweating profusely.Jiting didn't want to leave several times, and was dragged by him.The examination shed, also known as the Gongyuan, is a large courtyard, which is subdivided into thousands of small rooms, each room is closed on three sides, leaving only one side for the candidates.During the exam, you can't do any superfluous actions, if you encounter problems with pen and ink, you must wait until the inspection comes before you can make a request.The rules of the prefectural test and the county test are roughly the same, and there is an extra student who has a guarantee.These were all asked by Hu Ting at the tea shop at the door, and the tea shop owner obviously saw too many candidates and talked about what he had seen and heard.Zeng Huting ordered two bowls of tea, and he could ask for some news by the way when he rested.The boss also likes to have someone to listen to him brag."
Old man, I've been setting up a stall here for 20 years, what do you not know?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There's a lot going on in the exam room!
”The boss approached mysteriously, "One of them, I have remembered for more than ten years!"
”"What is it?
Is it that powerful?
”Zeng Huting asked very enthusiastically."
Cheating!"
The boss lowered his voice, "I was still caught on the spot!"
”Ji Ting smacked his tongue, "Who is so bold?"
If you fail the exam, you can take the exam again, and if you are caught cheating, you will be disqualified from the imperial examination for life!
”Besides, this is a child's test, and there is a mismatch between risk and benefit."
Who knows?
Anyway, I watched the examinee being pulled out, as if a candidate copied a cheat sheet, and was caught by the Xuezheng University, so he climbed and bit everywhere, saying that it was given to him by the other five examinees who had settled with him, and he just went to get it in the brick crack next to the gong bucket in advance. ”The boss sighed."
And then?"
Jiting regained his energy, and his curiosity was also hooked, and he was curious about the follow-up of things."
Where is the future?
Naturally, candidates who settle the insurance do not admit it!
But the fraud was continuous, and all six people were disqualified from the exam and were pulled out. ”The boss spreads his hands, and it is clear that the story is over."
It's bad luck, I say, the other five."
Jiting sighed, "Obviously I didn't cheat, but I was implicated." ”"This is also a warning, so that other people who have been careful are restrained, and the slightest carelessness will affect others."
Zeng Huting added, "Okay, boss, let me ask, what is the price of the nearby inns now?"
”The boss drew a five, "At least 500 wen a night!"
It's the best location to get to the exam booth right outside the door. ”"Then let's move here in a few days before the exam?"
Jiting turned his head to discuss."
There must be no vacancy then!"
The boss interjected, "Who doesn't know it's good here!"
”He added, "The people who can open inns here are all people with hands and feet, and all the rooms are priced at the same price!"
You can't find anything cheap!
”Zeng Huting is very interested, is there a business alliance now to unify pricing?
However, the boss didn't know about this, he only knew that there was an inn that cut the price by 20 wen to attract business, and it closed down three months later.He was not interested in these Jiting, and since he had asked all the questions he should ask, he urged him to find an ox cart and take them back to the inn.The ox cart was pulled by an old man, and through small talk, Zeng Huting knew that he was a local resident, so he took advantage of his leisure to earn some hard-earned money.When you arrive at the inn, spend five cents.It took more than an hour to walk, and the ox cart only took half an hour, indicating that the city gate is quite far from the city center, that is, the entire Fucheng area is very large.After all, it is the center of Chengzhou.Because of a government test, people come and go, how many employment opportunities have been added, and looking at the skillful appearance of the old man driving the ox cart, he has a lot of opportunities to make extra money.This is a city with a very complete business system.When they came back, they waited for more than an hour for Zeng Fengnian and Zeng Xuanzhao to come back, sweating profusely.As soon as I entered the door, I poured a large cup of tea down."
Fucheng is really too big!"
Zeng Xuanzhao sat down, "We went to the East Market, and there were too many people doing business, and we almost didn't squeeze it out." ”"Yes, there is too much traffic, but unfortunately no one wants to sell shops."
That's right, they all started the idea of buying a shop, but whose shops in the city are all handed down from their ancestors, and a shop eats three generations, and if they sell it, they will be poked in the backbone and sold to the loser.So they can only register with the Chinese people, hoping to pick up the leaks."
How are you doing today?"
Zeng Fengnian asked rhetorically about their harvest."
Don't mention it, the Gongyuan is too far away, and the nearby inns are not worth two prices, with a minimum of five hundred."
Zeng Huting sighed, "I can only rent a carriage, and I get up early on the day of the exam." ”The gap between 500 and 50 is too big, and if you live for a month, you will consume more than ten taels of silver.Zeng Xuanzhao was really discouraged, he had saved more than 200 taels, and it only took more than 100 to buy a shop in the county, he thought about how to double it, and it actually cost 500 taels!
Jufu City is also not easy.Zeng Fengnian was also very depressed, he hadn't been to Fucheng for a long time, he never expected the price to rise so much, so he could only pack up his mind and decide to move to the county seat.The investigation that should be done has been cleared, and in the afternoon, Zeng Huting is still used to reading books.The pages of the book were slightly hairy after he had turned them countless times, but he just wanted to be quiet when he was reading now.He had memorized the content of the exam, and the scriptures and essays were his strengths, and as for the strategy, his level of performance depended entirely on the examiner's questions.After all, he has not actually done government affairs, and he said that it is all on paper.In such an unhurried time, the day of the government examination has arrived.Chapter 24 begins to enter the Gongyuan at the beginning of the hour, and all candidates preparing for the exam must guard the door, accept the search and enter the examination booth.Time was pressing, and at the beginning of the year, that is, at three o'clock in the morning, Zeng Huting got up.The sky is still dark, and the silent inn has woken up, the next room from time to time comes from the sound of getting up and freshening up, and the kitchen is busy delivering today's breakfast, all of which are solid bread noodles, no soup, to avoid the embarrassment of going to the toilet.The yellow copper basin reflected his face, and Zeng Huting plunged his face into the cold water to sober himself up.Although he slept very early last night, he didn't sleep well at all because of the anxiety of the exam, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he was told to get up.I didn't dare to delay the time, and after freshening up, the carriage waited at the door of the inn, and people got on the bus one after another.The coachman raised his whip, the carriage rolled on the bluestone slab, and the people who accompanied him quietly kept order, not wanting to alarm the sleeping city.Zeng Jiting yawned and held back his tears, "I suddenly feel that five hundred wen is worth it, at least it can save an hour." ”He was now sleepy, his eyelids were so firm that he could fall asleep against the wall of the car."
Come out and blow the cool breeze."
Hu Ting whispered, "It's good to get through these few days, and you can sleep as much as you want when you go back." ”Zeng Jiting patted his cheek and forcibly cheered up.Half an hour later, when the carriage arrived at the gate of the Tribute Academy, there was already a long queue, and the sergeants lit lanterns and checked the examination of the candidates of the Tribute Academy one by one.The examination citation is the admission ticket, which proves that the candidate's place of origin, age, facial features and other information are written, which is only a preliminary inspection.The candidates lined up in an orderly line, and they didn't dare to say anything when they saw each other's acquaintances, but only signaled with their eyes, "You're here!"
”"You're here too!"
Before entering the gate of the Tribute Academy, there were four large examination sheds in Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, neatly arranged in four rows, but the candidates had to go into a small room first, and a special person would search for whether they were entrained.It was not cold in April, Zeng Huting took off his coat, leaving only a white middle coat, he looked at his companions around him, Ji Ting took off his clothes awkwardly, and tried to block his chest, and was scolded by the sergeant, he quickly put down his coat.Most of the children in the examination are teenagers, and a few are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, who also seem to feel a little embarrassed, and several people stand together.The sergeant did what he was instructed to do, and then he was allowed to put on his coat.Zeng Huting put on his coat and fastened the buckle, looked up at his own citation, and he was assigned to Tianzi No. 138.Zeng Jiting was assigned to Xuanzi number C 78, and the two needed to be separated."
After the exam, I will go to the tea shop outside to wait for me, my father and Uncle Zhao are there."
After a few words, Zeng Huting turned around and went to the Tianzihao examination shed, and followed the wooden sign hanging outside to find his position.Zeng Jiting stomped his feet, hey, in the end they were separated, and he could only walk alone.To be honest, he grew up with Huting since childhood, and he will deal with things when he encounters them, and now that he is taking the exam separately, he is really a little trembling, so he can only follow the exam to the examination booth.After Zeng Huting found the examination shed, he looked at the boxy room, which was about three or four square meters, with three walls behind it and a bamboo curtain supported in front of it, which was convenient for the examiner to distribute the test papers and pen and ink.The room was old and painted, and the desks and stools were pitted, but fortunately there was no dust and had been cleaned in advance.Because he was not allowed to bring anything except the test in this exam, and the dust on the white paper would obviously affect the score of the paper, if he didn't clean it, he could only give up his face and wipe it clean with the hem of the cheongsam.Zeng Huting sat down on the stool, crossed his hands to calm his mind, and tried to calm his mind, now that he has entered the examination room, a stable state of mind is the most important thing, if the strength is not good, it is a big deal to come back next year.Many people just regard an exam too important, feel that they have no way out, and the more they push themselves, the more anxious they become.The noise on both sides gradually subsided, and it was obvious that the candidates had also entered the examination booth and were waiting for the distribution of pen and ink.The gong at the end of the examination booth sounded, which was a signal for the candidates not to move.Then, the sergeants came in groups of four to hand out pen and ink, a sheep's hair pen, an inkstone and an ink strip, and a knife of white paper.In the early years of Chengzhou, there was an accident with a white paper with a cheat sheet, the cheater copied the full text of the "Analects" on a white paper with rice soup, and after entering the examination room, he sprayed it with iodine wine.At that time, the prefect was unlucky and was demoted, and from then on, the imperial examination in Chengzhou was to ask candidates to pay another two taels of silver, and then the government issued pen and ink.This greatly reduces the chance of entrainment of cheat sheets.But the quality of these brushes and inks is obviously very sorry for the two taels of silver, they are all ordinary goods.Zeng Huting picked up the sheep's hair pen and shook his head, two taels of silver is enough for a family for a month, and the imperial examination is really a rich man's game.When his thoughts were flying, the sergeant had already finished handing out the pen and ink, and then turned around to hand out the test papers, at this time, the candidates were not allowed to use the pen, they could only look at the exam questions.The first test was the Sutra, that is, the memory of the four books, a total of 120 questions, he looked at it, except for a few sentences that were not accurate, most of them remembered.Zeng Huting was determined, and after putting away the rolling paper, he waited intently for the gong to sound in the examination room.With such a busy work, the sky has already shone, and the morning light comes in through the gap in the bamboo curtain and shines on the desk, and the light is good."
Knock knock" three crisp gongs, the first of the government test officially began!
Zeng Huting picked up the ink strip and grinded out the ink first, and put the sheep's hair pen aside for later use, and the neatness of the scroll was also one of the parts.The first question is an excerpt from the Yang Goods chapter in the Analects, and he pondered for a moment and wrote the following words fluently."

The gentleman has the courage and righteousness is chaotic, and the villain has the courage and the unrighteous is the thief......"
The sun gradually rose, the sun had withdrawn the gentleness of the morning and turned to heat, the temperature became higher, Zeng Huting was completely immersed in the emotion of writing, and he finished writing the last question, and then slowly closed the pen.As soon as he stopped writing, he realized that his right hand was sore, it was due to excessive exertion and muscle tightness, he shook his hand gently, and checked the words while waiting for the ink to dry.The questions in this exam are not very difficult, the main test is memory, even if the memory is not good, rote memorization can pass, he estimates that the candidates can pass five or six percent.If you want to brush someone down, you can only work on the handwriting.He looked at his handwriting with satisfaction, the standard pavilion style, there is a neat and neat beauty, the size is even, there are no ink spots and stains, and he can score nine.As for the font style, these things should be practiced slowly when he becomes an adult.After Zeng Huting finished writing, he checked it three more times, as well as his name and hometown, etc., there was really nothing to pay attention to, just waiting for the gong to sound.At the end of the first day of the exam, candidates can go back first, and the second day is the same for the essay, only on the third day, the exam theory needs to be spent overnight in the examination room, until the fourth day, and the overnight quilt is also provided in the examination room.The sun was setting in the west, the gong sounded three times, and the sergeant stood on the passage of the examination shed and shouted, "Candidates stop writing and are forbidden to answer questions!"
”After shouting three times in a row, the test papers were collected from the No. 1 examination room, sealed according to the seal, and the test papers were thoroughly loaded before the candidates could leave the venue in an orderly manner.Tianzihao examination booth was naturally the first to leave, and Zeng Huting followed behind, slowly leaving the examination room with the crowd.The moment he stepped out of the examination room, he took a deep breath, he had never felt that the air outside was so fresh, and he ignored the figure on the side.There was a black shadow in front of him, squatting under the steps and not knowing what he was doing, Zeng Huting raised his feet and saw a person in front of him at the last moment, his heels spun to avoid, he was worried about kicking someone, and quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
”They are all candidates, so don't make a good deal out of others."
ShhhhIt's okay!
”The man squatted, groping with his hands on the ground, and after he couldn't help it, he stretched out the nails of his two fingers, carefully pinched something out of the crack in the brick, and then put the thing in the palm of his hand to blow off the dust, and said contentedly, "It's clipped!"
I saw it before I entered the examination room, but fortunately it was not discovered by others. ”
