The official road of the farmer

When Ye Junshu, Yu Maolin and others went out, the sky was still pitch black, and they couldn't see their fingers.The cold wind was bitter, whining and howling, and the wind from all directions was blowing so hard that it was so cold to the bone.

The children were wrapped in thick padded jackets. Although they were too sleepy to keep their eyes open, they insisted on coming out to send Ye Junshu to the examination room.

The Fang family also attached great importance to Ye Junshu's examination, and they consciously moved into Ye's house two days earlier to help take care of it.

At this moment, together with the butler of the Yu family, they counted their belongings and set off together.

The children in the family were still too young, fearing that their weak resistance would not be able to adapt to the sudden change of weather, Ye Junshu didn't ask Nan Ahma to take them with him, and asked him to stay at home to take care of the children.

They had originally traveled there in a carriage, but less than half the distance, the carriage couldn't move.

There were too many students going to the Gongyuan, blocking the road ahead, so Ye Junshu and the others also got off the carriage and walked around, joining the crowd.

There are thousands of students and people taking exams. At first glance, there are a lot of people. Basically, one out of three people is carrying a lantern. Countless lanterns illuminate an endless road, like a fire dragon.

Maybe it was more popular, or maybe it was because of being blocked from the cold wind, Ye Junshu felt much warmer, he exchanged the bookcase and clothes in his hands, and sighed with Yu Maolin who was beside him: "There are so many people!"

It feels that there are more people than the college entrance examination and the rural examination.

But it’s normal to think about it. It used to be a county-level and state-level exam, but this time it’s a national exam. It’s really a unified national exam.

Yu Maolin said: "According to statistics, the number of people participating in the examination this year has reached a record high, with more than 6000 people."

More than 6000 people? !That's a huge number.

Juren from all over the country and students from Shangjing Guozijian can take the exam.

Basically, anyone with a little ambition will not miss these life-changing exams.

So most people are, did not pass the exam after taking the exam?Continue to take the exam, keep going up the exam until you pass the exam.

Therefore, it is the same as other exams, there are a lot of older candidates everywhere.

Even because the higher the entrance examination, the more difficult it is. Many of the candidates admitted to Juren are basically 30 years old and above, so the proportion of young people among them is smaller than that of other levels.

Ye Junshu and the others are relatively young in this group.Even among the more than 6000 candidates, counting from young to old, they can be ranked in the forefront.

This is their great advantage.

There is a saying, youth is capital.

The more people apply for the exam, the more intense the competition, after all, the places are there.Ye Junshu sighed, but he didn't know what he was sighing.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the outskirts of the Gongyuan. The dense crowd surrounded the gate of the Gongyuan tightly.

Behind them, there are a steady stream of candidates heading here.

Ye Junshu stood on tiptoe and barely caught a glimpse. There were already many soldiers with knives maintaining order in front.

A large circle has been separated in front of the gate of the Tribute Academy, and only three openings have been opened on the left, middle and right for candidates to enter.

When I went to sign up for the test card, I was told that I would enter the venue in the order of test card numbers and enter in batches.

A batch of [-] numbered plates is based on the firing of the cannon. Everyone knows which batch they are in, and they will know which batch is starting to enter the venue by hearing the sound of the firing cannon.

Everything is in order.

When Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin arrived, they were already in the third batch.

And they are in the fifth batch.

The search at the trial is stricter and takes longer.

After the fourth batch entered the arena, Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin walked towards the nearest middle entrance, stood in front of the mobile wooden door guarded by layers of guards, and entered inside as soon as they got permission.

Uncle Tian talked about the experience of the examination room that he knew. He was with the master when he was in the scientific examination, and with the people he met in the capital over the years, he still knows a little about these things.

Ye Junshu listened carefully. In fact, the senior brother had already sent a thick stack of letters a while ago regarding the rules and taboos in the examination room, explaining everything clearly.

After standing for a while, about two quarters of an hour later, the cannon was fired again, five times in a row.

The ones entering this time are numbers [-] to [-].

Ye Jun wrote No. 270, and Yu Maolin was next to him.

The path blocked by Changmu opened, and Ye Junshu took all his belongings, first entered the five-meter-long passage and lined up, and after verifying that the test cards were correct, they put them into the open space separated by the main entrance.

There are five small gates set up in front of the main entrance, and you must go through a strict body search before you can formally enter the examination room.

Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin chose a team with fewer people to line up.

Ye Junshu observed that the examinee had to take off his clothes, so he could only wear unlined clothes. Four soldiers rummaged through all the items he brought in. The examinee who only wore unlined clothes shivered from the cold.

Fortunately, the imperial court may also have concerns in this regard. After all, it is not easy to cultivate talents, and they cannot be allowed to fall ill before they have time to show themselves. Therefore, there are two large red charcoal basins placed on wooden frames on both sides of each small door. superior.

The warm arrogance at least dispelled some of the chill.

The imperial court is also quite humane.

Yu Maolin was in front of him, checking first.Ye Junshu looked at him worriedly, praying that his body would be stronger.

Soon it was Ye Junshu's turn. He stepped forward, took off his single clothes neatly, and asked the soldiers to check.

Ye Junshu usually has a lot of firepower, and there are two pots of charcoal grilling, so he doesn't feel cold.

After the preliminary search, a more detailed search will be carried out in a small room.

The outside search is mainly to check whether there are foreign objects entrained, and in the small room to check whether the examinee will write on his body or inside his underwear.

It's just that Ye Junshu is still not used to this search method even though he has gone through the provincial examination.

The soldiers were expressionless, Ye Junshu could only let himself go, and stop thinking wildly, lest he would be depressed.

After the inspection, Ye Junshu put on his clothes and shoes, picked up the things he had packed in a simple and rough way, and entered under the guidance.

Yu Maolin, who was in front of him, had long since disappeared, apparently already entered.

The test sheds in the Gongyuan and other places are similar, obviously this is a standard, but it is just a few sizes bigger.The fence is very tall, and it is filled with sharp things to prevent outsiders from entering.

Ye Junshu looked for his room with the room number card exchanged for the test card. There were oil lamps at intervals on the long road. Although his vision was a bit dim, he could still see the room number clearly.Following the instructions, Ye Junshu quickly found his small room.

He stretched out his hand and pushed, and the small door that only allowed one person to enter and exit made a loud noise.

A gloomy cold air hit, Ye Junshu couldn't help shivering.

This weather is really sad.

The small room was dark, and Ye Junshu groped in, relying on the faint shadows, found the oil lamp on the small table, and lit it with a torch.

The overall area of ​​the Gongyuan is larger than the test shed in the state capital, but the area of ​​the small room is directly half smaller than that of the test shed.In the past, at least I could walk back and forth, but now, it is difficult to even turn around.What's more, he is taller, and when he raises his hand, he has the illusion of touching the roof, which is similar to a cage, and he feels like he is in prison.

Ye Junshu reckoned that it was less than four square meters, so he would have to shrink back and forth when sleeping.

The small room looked icy and cold, and Ye Junshu slapped the two long boards, causing dust to fly up.

There are so many small black houses, and I don't expect the court to wipe them clean.Ye Junshu wiped the small table and stool with the cloth towel he brought, and also carefully wiped the only window to the outside.Then wipe the two longboards.

He made the crude plank bed, and he brought two quilts, one folded in half for bedding and the other for covering.

There are not many things in the house, except for a wooden bed and a small table, there is also a bowl of clear water on the table, and a lit oil lamp. Judging by the amount of oil inside, it can be burned for several hours, so it should be enough to save money.

The other is the toilet in the corner, and there are a few pieces of toilet paper on it.

Ye Junshu sighed deeply, the test is really not easy.No wonder the ancients lamented that to achieve great things, one must first suffer from one's will, toil one's muscles and bones, and starve one's body and skin.

At this time, the sky outside was just getting bright, and it was not yet mao.

The start time of each test is Si time, that is, it starts at nine o'clock in the morning, and there are still a few hours before the start of the test.

Ye Junshu took out the contents of the bookcase one by one. There were only pens, ink, paper, inkstone pen holders, etc., and a bottle of white wine that was put in temporarily.His alcohol capacity is not bad, drinking is like drinking water, so there is no need to worry about getting drunk and affecting his performance, and a few sips from time to time can warm his body.

From time to time, there were sounds of walking in the aisle outside. Ye Junshu guessed that it must be the soldiers who were setting the bolts for them outside.

When taking the number plate, it has been specially emphasized that as soon as you enter the examination room, you must find your number room immediately.

In the examination system, if candidates stay outside after entering the examination room, they will be disqualified from the examination.Those who can enter the exam will not easily risk their own future. Most of them cherish their opportunities very much, so basically every action is strictly in accordance with the requirements of the court, and they will not do what they are not allowed to do.

In fact, the sound insulation between the number rooms is not good, and Ye Junshu can still hear the complaints and sneezing of the surrounding candidates.Ye Junshu listened attentively to the unfamiliar voices. He didn't know where Yu Maolin and the others were assigned to.

Most of their classmates in the state capital also came to take the exam, but they didn't act together. Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin were only together.

Wen Bihua was accompanied by his family, so he did not go with them.

Wen Bihua's number plate was still in front of them, the previous batch entered.

Although they didn't work together, while they were all immersed in their studies, they would occasionally get together to communicate with each other, and they knew a little about each other's information. Almost all of their classmates had entered the Gongyuan.

Ye Junshu looked around. He had finished what he needed to do. Standing so empty, the heat in his body dissipated faster, and his hands and feet began to feel cold.He thought about it, and felt that he could go back to sleep.

Ye Junshu took off his cotton coat, blew out the oil lamp, quickly got into bed, curled up and adjusted a relatively comfortable posture, the cold quilt slowly warmed up, and then closed his eyes to rest.

The author has something to say: (⊙_⊙) I suddenly realized that I probably forgot about the other gay friend of the protagonist, who was supposed to be in the role...
