Bai GuAi was wandering around inside: "What should I do, what should I do... Why did I forget Second Senior Sister's instructions..."
She looked at her wrist and saw that the cinnabar mole was gone.
She was very panicked, because if this cinnabar mole disappeared, she would probably encounter a lot of trouble in the cult. She quickly ran to the dressing table, took out the rouge and dabbed it on her wrist. .
"I hope it won't disappear so soon..." Bai Guai gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to wear long-sleeved clothes now. No matter what, he couldn't let anyone know about him, especially his fourth junior sister.
Once the fourth junior sister finds out, she may encounter unprecedented trouble.
…
The annual imperial examination finally began, and students from all over the country came from all over the country. This time, the literary test and the martial arts test were held together, and the location was naturally in the Rising Sun Square of the Shujian Academy.
Rising Sun Square is the largest square in the entire South Vietnam Kingdom and can accommodate 100,000 people. Naturally, it can accommodate only a few thousand candidates. At this time, Li Huguo also changed into scholar's clothes and was preparing to take the exam.
"Brother, this is a snack for you. The exam will be closed for two days. You will eat, drink and have diarrhea inside. You have to take more care of yourself." Xie Lingyun said.
"Well, don't worry. I'm old enough to take care of myself." Li Hugo said with a smile.
Li Zhong also came closer: "Master, although you have stopped reading for half a month, you still have important things to do. You can go to the exam and leave the printing to me."
Li Yuguo chuckled: "I knew you were going to say this."
As he said that, Li Yuguo took out two volumes of books from his sleeves: "This is the record of the Great Golden Storm that I wrote overnight. It will be almost completed this year..."
"But Dajin Fengyunlu is so popular. Master, if you continue writing it, we can make a lot more money."
"There is no need to continue the story. Since the main plot has been told, let's move on to the next step of the story." Li Hugo said.
Li Zhong said happily: "What's the next story?"
"Well, against the Three Kingdoms!" Li Hugo said, "In a special era, the three countries conquered each other, fighting against each other, and conquered the immortals. And above the three countries, there was the twilight imperial court, which existed in name only..."
Li Yuguo explained, and Li Zhong's blood boiled when he heard it: "Oh my God, it can still be like this!"
"Haha, so feel free to do it boldly." Li Hugo said.
Xie Lingyun interrupted the conversation between the two: "It's getting late, brother... we should set off."
"Yes, then let's go." Li Hugo said.
On the Rising Sun Square, thousands of desks have been placed, and candidates are finding their positions one after another. The positions are divided very scientifically. Candidates in each area are disrupted by each other, which prevents candidates from interacting with each other. Ventilate.
Moreover, there are many people pretending to be candidates among the candidates. This is also to monitor the students around them to see if they are carrying small notes or other things.
The examination is very strict. Before entering, everyone will go into a secret room box similar to a container and then be searched, even the smallest corner of the body will not be spared.
Because this world is the same as in ancient times, and there are many ways for students to cheat.
Therefore, during this inspection, personal accessories, such as rings and necklaces, or certain parts of the person, such as nostrils, ear piercings, armpits, and even anus, were carefully examined.
When Li Yuguo passed by, he didn't seem to be strictly inspected. He was just patted on the shoulder because he was thinking about this. Li Yuguo knew that this was the help of Grand Master Xie, who saved him from unnecessary detours.
In fact, only one or two of them had notes with them during the inspection. These people who were inspected would be handed over to officials for processing. The official's name was Bingbi, which also became the history of supervision. Li Yuguo saw with his own eyes that there was a man named Gu San. A man was caught having plastic surgery, so he was beaten to death on the spot in front of all the candidates.
This exam cannot be completed in one day, it will take two days in a row, so you need to bring not only pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but also food and drink.
Therefore, body search on entry has become a necessary procedure. After the body search, candidates must enter their own small partition and cannot go out except to fetch water or use the toilet.
Li Yuguo came to his cubicle, looked up, and saw several martial arts students from the Shujian Academy who were flying with swords. They were patrolling above, monitoring everyone taking the exam. Because the exam room was in the square, so from top to bottom Looking down, you can see everything at a glance.
Li Yuguo sat down. The environment inside the partition was quite good. In addition to the desk mentioned earlier, there was a straw mat on the ground, a bedding on it, and a burning stove. Although it was winter, , but there is a stove to keep warm, at least the hands and feet will not freeze.
Li Huguo looked around and found that some candidates were suffocating inside. Coupled with mental stress, they often collapsed, their faces were distorted, and they couldn't even write, let alone take the exam.
Suddenly, a student suddenly screamed: "What if I fail the exam? What if I fail the exam?!"
Suddenly he stood up, ran towards the distance, and bumped into a guard's shield. The shield was made of iron. The candidate was killed on the spot!
Li Yuguo shook his head, thinking that the examinee's psychological quality was too weak, and he collapsed from nervousness.
Not far from Li Huguo, a scholar cut open the skin of his arm and pulled out a piece of oil paper from under the skin. When he opened the oil paper, it turned out to be a note with an article written on it.
This kind of cheating method was shocking, and he also noticed Li Huguo and clasped his hands towards Li Huguo, not wanting Li Huguo to report him.
Li Yuguo ignored him. He didn't want to get into trouble, so he opened the examination paper. The question was written on the examination paper. The question was very simple, it was two words.
"nation".
"What a clever title." Li Yuguo exclaimed, thinking that Master Xie must have come up with this title. The two words "country, country, country and family" contain too many meanings.
Country and home.
Li Huguo thought for a moment and then began to write.
"Countries have existed since ancient times. Which came first, the country or the family, is an elusive and eternal problem. However, family and country are twin brothers, one big and one small. No one can live without the other... " Li Huguo used vernacular to explain directly.
After all, this place doesn't have so many rules. There are no requirements for classical Chinese or classical Chinese. As long as the writing is good, the calligraphy is beautiful, and the sentences are fluent, then it is considered to be up to standard.
