Su Caier wanted to force herself to sleep last night.

But later, she got confused.

After getting confused, I woke up from time to time and looked at the moon outside.

fine.

She didn't sleep to death as usual.

He shouted his husband early.

Zhao Ce took a look at the sky outside and thought it was almost done.

The room was holding a light.

Su Caier put the prepared single clothes and thin-soled single shoes for Zhao Ce to put on.

After dressing, take advantage of the time to wash up.

I also baked some hot cakes with the unstoppable fire on the stove.

After Zhao Ce checked it and wanted to bring the equipment to the examination room, he heard Zhao Youcai shouting.

Zhao Ce quickly walked over and opened the door.

Zhao Wenhao and Zhao Youcai stood outside Zhao Ce's house.

He was holding a lamp in his hand and wrapped in a cotton jacket.

After seeing that Zhao Ce was dressed neatly, Zhao Youcai nodded.

"It's almost done, just eat something and set off."

Zhao Ce said: "Okay, uncle, come in and eat some to warm up your body."

In the middle of the night in early February, the cold wind was whistling.

Zhao Youcai and the other two did not refuse.

I ate some food with Zhao Ce and warmed my body.

Afterwards, Zhao Wenhao drove the ox cart and took Zhao Ce and Zhao Youcai to the city.

Su Caier watched the people go out, and after a long time, she closed the door.

After entering the city, I went directly to the school.

Because Li Xiucai is a student in the imperial examination, he wants to serve as a guarantor for the candidates.

When the student takes the exam, he also has to stand outside the gantry and wait for the officials in the prison to call him a name, and provide guarantees to the students.

So, he personally brought three people to this exam.

On the dark streets, scholars come and go.

Looking at his three students, Li Xiucai yawned and said, "Let's go."

"The other two are probably waiting outside the exam room."

Zhao Ce handed the thick clothes he was wearing to Zhao Wenhao behind him.

So he carried the basket that he had put his own exam equipment and followed Li Xiucai and the others to the county government.

The cold wind blew.

The candidates waiting outside the venue were all tremblingly holding their arms to keep warm.

Even though there were people standing in front and behind, I couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Wu Xueli and Qiu Shubai have been drinking cold-resisting medicine for so many days.

It doesn't feel useful, either.

Standing behind Zhao Ce, looking at Zhao Ce's straight back, his teeth trembling with giggling.

Zhao Ce saw that he was ahead of him.

Many candidates were covered their butts when they were checked and walked in a little lame.

When it was Zhao Ce's turn, Zhao Ce handed the basket in his hand to the inspector.

These people all recognize Zhao Ce, so they are not rude when checking.

Zhao Ce took off his hair, took off his clothes, shoes and socks.

I just pinched the food casually, and didn't crush it like others. I checked whether it was entrained.

Li Xiucai stood aside and proved their identity with sleepy eyes.

Then the clerk took out the papers they had filled out the information they had completed and handed it to Zhao Ce.

The bookkeeper said in a harmonious voice: "Young Master Zhao, after entering, please follow the number printed on the door of this paper and find your seat."

Zhao Ce took it with both hands and whispered thanks.

So he brought his own things into the examination room.

Zhao Ce's seat is "A Qi",

After finding the seat, arrange the stationery.

The official patrolman next to him was patrolling back and forth with hot water in his hands.

When he arrived at Zhao Ce's side, he poured him a bowl of hot water, then smiled at Zhao Ce, and left.

Zhao Ce thought, this is really easy for someone in the court to do things.

Because of his fame, County Magistrate Zhang valued him and ordered his subordinates to take care of him more.

So his preparations before the exam were not too sad.

but.

This Tong Sheng Examination is different from the imperial examination television he watched in later generations.

When everyone came in, the sun was about to come out.

The windows and doors of the examination room were all opened.

The sound of trembling teeth fighting in the examination room was endless.

County Magistrate Zhang walked in and glanced at the candidates in the room.

"The exam starts!"

"Copy all the test questions before answering them!"

The official took the template for writing the test questions and walked back and forth between the candidates.

Zhao Ce took a look at the first four books, and it was indeed the same as the "neutral but not relied on, and strong and correct" revealed by County Magistrate Zhang.

And there is no such thing as answering questions that are cut out in a paragraph everywhere, just like this simple sentence excerpted from the Four Books.

Zhao Strategy thought for a while and soon started to solve the problem.

Draft the draft on the draft paper.

After finishing the draft of the Four Books, the Five Classics began to be written again.

noon.

Another official sent me to deliver water and food came in, so everyone could buy some hot water to warm up their frozen hands.

Eat some food to fill your stomach.

The officer who was patrolling the field poured another cup of hot water for Zhao Ce and left.

While Zhao Ce was eating Su Caier's cake with hot water, he looked back at the things written on his draft paper.

After several modifications.

After lunch, I copied it officially.

After copying, I checked it several times and confirmed that it was correct.

He just put away the paper and took it to the Magistrate Zhang who was sitting in the head.

County Magistrate Zhang's face looked light and took Zhao Ce's answer in a routine manner.

A casual glance.

Then, he looked down again.

He lifted his eyelids and nodded slightly at Zhao Ce.

From this point of view, I am satisfied with my answer...

County Magistrate Zhang didn't say much, and waved his hand and asked Zhao Ce to leave.

In front of the gantry, there were already waiting for several elementary school students who also handed in advance.

Just after Zhao Ce passed, the number of people was enough to let go.

After going out.
