The state test of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very different from the state test.

There are three exams in the state examination, which are set on the fifth day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day

This alone is quite different from the fact that the Tongsheng locked the cowshed for more than two days during the imperial examination.

The examination room for the state examination is sometimes located in Tangyu Academy, and also in Long College in the east of the city. This year, it is located in Long College.

On the fifth day of the September 2018, it started to rain in the early morning. When it was approaching Mao time, the rain did not decay at all, but showed signs of getting heavier and heavier. Although the sky was still dark, the restaurants and shops outside Long Academy were all open, doing business with these scholars.

In one of the restaurants, Ning Jiang, Bai Zijin and Ning Xiaomeng were talking here.

Ningjiang asked Bai Zijin: "Brother Zijin, how are you in today's condition?"

Bai Zijin bowed and said, "In the past few days, according to the method of sitting and breathing in meditation and breathing taught by Brother Ning Jiang, nourishing the energy and regulating breathing. At this moment, I feel that my spirit is extremely good, and it will definitely be no problem."

Ning Jiang nodded.

Outside the examination room, the updater wearing a straw raincoat knocked on the gong and gong at the third hour of the Yin hour. The scholars held umbrellas and poured out from the shelter from the rain, and lined up in front of the courtyard gate. At this time, autumn was already in full swing, and the showers for several days made the world cold.

Ning Xiaomeng stood in the window on the second floor of the restaurant, looking at her brother entering the crowd. The line was long, and the rows of oil umbrellas were like two long snakes, hanging in the square. Unlike the palace examination, the state examination was divided into three separate tests. Each test could be completed until dusk at the latest and the papers could be handed in the early afternoon.

So, she was going to wait for her brother here.

In the team below, Ning Jiang turned his head and saw Gan Lie, Lu Zhiyuan, Yu Chengyi, Dan Xinghe, Bao Kaiyi and others in the queue. Lu Zhiyuan had no expression on his face, and Gan Lie seemed quite irritable. The students named Shu Guangliang, who were also students of Linjiang County, were named Shu Guangliang, because of the natural disaster in Yuehu that destroyed the entire town, and both parents died. At this moment, they were in abide by the system and could not take the scientific examination.

Baizi Jin stood beside him, erecting his chest, looking quite confident.

The antique knocked the gong all over, and the bang, bang, bang, bang, bang sound spread in the rain. The gate of the courtyard opened, and the power of the officials surged out like a tide. Two virgin boys and two virgin girls, wearing raincoats, walked out of the courtyard with an angry wind lamp that could shelter from the rain, and one of the little girls kept sneezing.

The four children were divided into two sides and each led a pair into the examination room. Someone in the door checked their documentary and their belongings one by one. Then, according to the usual practice, bowed in front of the statue of Confucius.

In the examination room, the prefect of Tongzhou and the Hanlin sent by the imperial court sat behind the case.

The scholars stepped forward, and in front of the three adults, they received their own grades and were taken into their own examination room.

The examination room is also locked, but compared to the time of the palace examination, each room is much spacious and cleaner, and the stove has already been better for the candidates. After all, scholars are different from children, and each one has fame, which is also a kind of preferential treatment.

Ning Jiang did not rush to see the paper, but warmed his hands by the stove first.

The stove is not big, and charcoal is burned inside. The heat emitted can only barely warm your hands and not warm your body at all.

After making his hands warm, he ran around the square table twice, then sat on the ground, picked up the cloth bag hanging by the table, poured out the rice paper rolled into a tube, untied the red rope, and slowly opened it.

There are five questions in the paper scroll. Of course, because this test is classics, all five questions are related to the Four Books and Five Classics. He first looked at the first question, and saw that the above said "Ji Liangjian chased the Chu Master" in small regular script and asked to discuss it.

Ning Jiang nodded. This is a famous article in Zuo Zhuan. Anyone who has truly worked hard can answer such sutras and treatises perfectly and will be eliminated by this question. That is really a matter of not working hard on weekdays.

He continued to look down, but suddenly thought of something in his mind. After a moment of being stunned, his eyes raised again and looked at the six words "Ji Liangjian pursued the Chu army".

He stared at this for a while, suddenly sighed deeply, put down the paper, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

The golden soul slowly left the body and floated out.

It has been almost a year since he was reborn. At this moment, his golden soul is more tenacious, only half a step away from the next step of "Fire Soul". He let his golden soul pass through the wall, passed several examination halls, and then saw Bai Zijin.

Along the way, although he passed by several scholars, naturally no one could find him.

He looked down at the high point and saw that Bai Zijin was opening the test paper at this moment, staring at the words "Ji Liangjian chased Chu Master" in a daze. His forehead was sweating coldly and his eyes were bloody. Suddenly, Bai Zijin spurted out a mouthful of blood, and blood sprayed on the paper. He put down the paper dejectedly, climbed to the door, and pulled the little bell by the door. He pulled it hard for a long time, and the invigilator slowly walked outside.

Bai Zijin stood up, bent down through the wooden railing, and whispered in a low voice.

The examiner was silent for a moment and said a few words in a low voice. Bai Zijin turned around and brought the question paper and held it in front of the examiner. The examiner took the question paper, looked at the questions, and then looked at Bai Zijin's editing disc. After a while, he took them outside and discussed with the prefect who served as the examiner in this field. After a while, he came back and said something to Bai Zijin.

An hour later, the yamen runners came to open the examination room.

The sky outside has already started to brighten.

The showers showed no signs of stopping. The sky was gray, and the clear river was wrapped in yellow mud and passed through the Tongcheng City, rolling down, and the entire provincial capital was quiet.

Ning Xiaomeng stood by the window of the restaurant, looking at the heavy rain outside, and the gate of Long Academy opened a crack at this time, and a person was pushed out and fell into the rain.

The entrance to the examination room that was originally opened until noon was just around the corner, and someone came out of it, which made everyone look over. The person who was pushed out was a young man in blue shirt. The young man staggered a few steps in the rain, raised his head, and shouted powerlessly to the sky.

Ning Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, picked up the oil umbrella, ran downstairs, opened the umbrella and rushed into the rain, rushed to the boy, and covered him: "Hundred Young Masters"

Bai Zijin, who entered the examination room with her brother, came out before even noon, which surprised her quite.

Bai Zijin bowed to her bitterly, said nothing, and went away in dismay.

Ning Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, but was worried about him, so she chased him and held an umbrella for him.

The Guanglu Dafu Mansion, the Guanglu Dafu Mansion, was talking to Huangfu in the mansion. Not long after, the housekeeper came to report: "Sir, the hundred young masters are back."

Zheng An was surprised: "How can he come out of the examination room before noon is yet?"

Huangfu said, "Master, I think he doesn't have regularity at all. Master, you think our Xianger is a hyperplasia after all, and he still doesn't have much hope. He needs to prepare for another three years. He is just a tertiary end, so he is afraid he hasn't been timid before he even enters the market."

Zheng An shook his head and said, "Oh, I still have such a glimmer of hope for him."

Huangfu said, "That's because you are kind-hearted. You have taken in his grandparents and grandchildren for half a year to provide them with food and accommodation. This is a kindness and righteousness. If he doesn't do his best, he won't blame you, Master."

Zheng An smiled and said, "That's right."

Baizijin came to the back garden and entered the old house. Mrs. Feng sat up hard on the wooden bed: "Jin'er, why are you back?"

Bai Zijin suddenly bowed: "Grandson is sorry for grandma, grandma has disappointed grandma." Fu Da cried bitterly.

Ning Xiaomeng chased the door with an umbrella and stared at them in a daze.

Although I don’t know what happened, looking at my helpless grandson at this moment, Mrs. Feng could only sigh: “Forget it, forgot.”

Bai Zijin wiped away his tears, held the four treasures of the study at the table, wrote down the divorce letter, threw the pen, and whispered: "Grandma, let's go." He turned around and squatted down with his back to his grandmother.

Mrs. Feng said nothing and leaned on her grandson's back. Bai Zijin carried her grandmother, held an umbrella, walked outward, and walked step by step into the rain. Ning Xiaomeng, who still didn't know what had happened, followed them in a daze.

On the other side, in the gorgeous pavilion, Wushan, after lingering, Lu Xifu's naked body was placed on the windowsill, looking at the grandparents and grandchildren of the Baijia who were leaving sadly in the distance, and the girl following them, and said in surprise: "Didn't the Bai people take the state test?"

Zheng Xiang hugged the newly married concubine from behind, looked at the three people in the distance, and smiled and said, "I'm afraid I finally knew that I was just overestimating my abilities. I was so scared that my legs were weak in front of the exam room. I didn't even dare to enter the door, so I shrank. I didn't have to worry about them." He hugged her and turned to the bed.

Lu Xifu giggled. In fact, although the Gaosuolu family is just a village in a small county town, it is still a scholarly family after all. It would be good to find a rich family in Linjiang County to marry into it and become a big wife. She didn't need to be a concubine at all. However, her brother found out that Zheng An was about to go to Beijing to be the Minister of Personnel. If she joined the Zheng family, her brother's career would also benefit from it in the future. On the other hand, if Lu Zhiyuan was on the Golden List next year's Spring Festival, she would not have the chance to become a regular wife.

So he wrapped his delicate arms around Zheng Xiang and tried his best to please him.

The heavy rain became more and more majestic. Bai Zijin walked out of the gorgeous and magnificent mansion in the shower and walked on the street.

Mrs. Feng said: "Sunny, tell me, what happened, Grandma knows you, you are definitely not a child who will retreat on the spot."

Bai Zijin whispered: "Grandma, today's test question, the first question is history theory, and the question is Ji Liangjian's pursuit of Chu Master."

"Ji Liangjian pursued the Chu army." Mrs. Feng was also a daughter of a well-educated and well-off family. After thinking about it carefully, she realized, "Ah, this is all fate."

Ning Xiaomeng followed them, but was confused when she heard it and couldn't help asking: "Old lady, Mrs. Bai, what's wrong with this problem?"

"Miss Xiaomeng, you don't know anything," sighed Mrs. Feng, "I was killed and my husband's surname was Chu, and my son Boliang."

In the examination room, Ningjiang opened the question paper, looked at the six words "Ji Liangjian chased the Chu army" in the first line, and remembered his introduction to his family background when he first met Baizi Jin.

― "Brother Ning doesn't know anything. I was originally the descendant of the general. The ancestor of the family Bai Chu, Xun was the pillar of the Great Zhou Kingdom, his father Bai Bo Liang, and Xun was the commander of the Shang Shang Qingche."

The names of Baizi Jin's deceased father and grandfather are all in these six words.

In this era of ethics and murder, he would dare to answer this test. Even if he passed the exam, he would soon be discovered, sued, and stripped of his fame and fortune. He would never have to want to participate in the imperial examination again.

Out of "tatism", he had to withdraw from this state examination no matter what.

This is the filial piety of Confucianism. No one can violate it.

Although he sighed for Bai Zijin, he could not help Bai Zijin at this moment, so he could only calm down and answer the questions seriously.

When Ning Jiang left the examination room, it was not until the beginning of the afternoon.

At this time, his shower had stopped, the ground was wet, but the sky was bright.

The moment he came out, he saw his sister wavering to him from a distance.

Ning Jiang went to meet with his sister, and learned from her sister that Bai Zijin and his grandmother had left Zheng Mansion.

"Brother," Xiao Meng asked in confusion while walking with her brother, "Why are there the names of the father and grandfather of the hundred young masters in the question? He can't take the exam? What's the reason?"

Ning Jiang shook his head, it was difficult to explain this kind of thing to his sister clearly.

In fact, this kind of thing did not only happen in this world, but also in the ancient times of another world. What's more, for example, Li He, the "poetry ghost" of the Tang Dynasty, became famous when he was young. He should have participated in the imperial examination at the age of 18, but he lost his father and was obeyed for three years. Later, when he participated in the imperial examination again, a jealous person attacked him, saying that his father's name was "Li Jinsu". The character "Jin" in Jinsu was homophonic with the character "Jin" in Jinshi, which violated the name. Although Han Yu, the examiner at that time, kept arguing for him, Li He was forced to leave the examination room and failed to take the Jinshi again in his life.

Although there is no such exaggeration now, Bai Zijin's father and grandfather have repeatedly violated the names and test questions. If they don't leave, after the results are released, I wonder how many people will hold the books of sages to talk about things. At that time, even if he understands Yuan, he will be beaten up immediately and will become a stain in his life. If he doesn't leave, even the fame of scholars will not be preserved.

Ji Liangjian pursued Chu Shi. As a famous article in Zuo Zhuan, the main theme was "the people are the masters of gods, and the people are the masters before gods". However, because of the divine "taboos", a student with hope was defeated. I don't know if it is a satirical thing.
