The provincial examinations were tested for nine days in a row. Although they only focused on the first game and the last two games were relatively relaxed, the number room was only a little bit, which was still very inhumane for the candidates.

Therefore, in the last session, there were no titles of the Four Books, no titles of the Five Classics, and only five strategies. In fact, it was the so-called argumentative essays in later generations, that is, strategy theory.

But for these candidates who have been studying hard since childhood, it is almost impossible to write down the policy and theory, so they basically took it at a glance when reviewing the test papers in the provincial examination.

Another change brought about by this method is that the atmosphere in the examination room was relatively relaxed two days after the third exam. A bit stricter invigilator just prohibits the escapist from escaping. After all, cheating has no practical significance.

But the atmosphere of the third national examination in Nanzhili this year, the next day, the "Hong" font size was a bit strange.

An invigilator suddenly heard a noise in the alley next door, and immediately rushed over and saw dozens of candidates sitting at the door of the number room, knocking on the ground with number boards, or two number boards knocking on each other.

As soon as the invigilator came over, the candidates immediately shrank back, but the shadowy head pointed out.

"Hong" is the 23rd guy again... The invigilator frowned and walked over and saw that, uh, the candidate inside was lying on the box seriously and copying.

Alas, Qian Yuan is not interested in the eight-legged essay, but Qian Yuan has a lot of words about strategy theory... or complaints about it.

So, in comparison, Qian Yuan used the most energy and time in the last game... but at least in the eyes of others, he was the most serious.

But the candidates next door stopped doing it.

Why?

If you don’t eat, you will starve to death!

Since the first exam, Qian Yuan has become a celebrity, although he has become famous.

For most ordinary scholars, the name Qian Yuan is a bit noble, and there are too many rumors about this person.

He went to Hangzhou alone to avenge his father and brother, which is a legend that can be written into the book; the four battles of Jiading, Huating, Chongde and Linpingshan made him gain extremely high reputation on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war.

It is said that he has a good relationship with the famous general Yu Dayou, it is said that he has made a relationship with Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng, it is said that he also has contacts with the Yan Dang Hu Zongxian, and it is also said that he and Xu Wenchang are close friends.

Although there were countless rumors about Qian Yuan in Nanjing before the provincial examination, it was mainly because someone was manipulating it behind it, and most of the scholars who jumped out were Ningguo Mansion, which was the most robbed by Japanese pirates.

For most of the time in the Ming Dynasty, scholars who had not yet become officials made military achievements were not talked about. However, now in the southeast, the Japanese invasion in southern Zhili, not to mention Suzhou, Songjiang, Tongzhou, Changzhou, and Yangzhou, all were attacked by Japanese pirates, and Qian Yuan had extremely high praise among the scholars in these places.

From the end of the first provincial examination, Qian Yuan was widely discussed because of the huge wooden box, and then discussed with a large number of candidates with the "Hong" font.

Qian Yuan is gentle, elegant, approachable... Although it is just a superficial, his characteristics of "talking people when they see people, talking nonsense when they see ghosts" make him very popular.

After handing over the second exam, he did not rush to leave. He fryed all the remaining dishes and gave them to the candidates in the number rooms next door... This scene happened to be met by an acquaintance.

Wang Shizhen's younger brother Wang Shimao also participated in the provincial examination this year and was also arranged to be in the font "Hong".

So before the third exam started, Wang Shimao and several other candidates with the "Hong" font size did not want to suffer anymore.

Feeling someone at the door of the number room, Qian Yuan stopped writing and looked up. The invigilator coughed twice and looked left and right, then turned around and left.

Qian Yuan suddenly realized and poked his head out, seeing an angry look.

Yes, let's work first.

Carefully put the test paper in the test paper bag, put it in the box, open the damper of the honeycomb coal stove, and replace it with another piece of coal... This time, two coal stoves were brought.

I took two pots, heated dozens of meat dumplings to fill everyone's stomachs, and steamed a few plates of sweet and sour rice rolls, braised pork, and filled them with prepared small plates.

Two soldiers who specialize in invigilating Qian Yuan, one chewed meat dumplings and the other swallowed braised pork, distributed to the candidates.

It smells so fragrant, so fragrant, the alley swallows continuously, cheers and praises endlessly... I heard the face of the invigilator not far away twitching. This is really a strange thing!

It’s not just because I’m hungry and can’t eat hot food. There was no sweet and sour dish in the Ming Dynasty, and the spicy taste in the braised pork is even more amazing.

The invigilator also got a portion. After eating, they started collecting things from more than a dozen nearby rooms... and collected fresh vegetables brought in by the candidates.

The third exam was just a gesture, but even so, the search officer was stunned at the time. More than a dozen candidates came together, carrying them in their hands, shoulders, and in the basket, all of them were vegetables. Those who didn't know thought you were shopping in the vegetable market.

At the door of the room number, seven or eight candidates gathered nearby, and two invigilators came over.

Two honeycomb coal stoves and two iron pots, Qian Yuan calmly poured oil in, put the dishes in, the spatula in his hand flew up and down, taking care of both left and right... Wang Shimao's snobbish ghost actually took the lead in applauding, which made the invigilator unable to help but thrive.

So, Qian Yuan finally walked out of the tribute school surrounded by candidates from "Hong" and candidates from Songjiang, Suzhou and Yangzhou.

The prosecutor behind him thought silently in his heart, hoping that this guy can win the exam. It’s not that he will come to cook in three years, but that he wants to see if this guy will try next year or not.

I took the exam for nine days in a row, and the first eight days were sunny, but it was raining on the last day.

After leaving the tribute courtyard, Qian Yuan was still making an appointment with Wang Shimao to have tea together the next day. This was the season when crabs were fat and delicious.

"Everyone comes, everyone comes." Qian Yuan bowed and smiled, "Even if you are hungry, you will be able to walk out with your wall and go out with your wall after you are hungry."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone was laughing, and suddenly a black shadow came out of the rain curtain, getting closer and faster, and more than a dozen military officers wearing swords at their waists appeared in front of everyone.

The laughter gradually faded away, and most of these scholars recognized these people except for those from poor families.

For example, Wang Shimao, Taicang, Suzhou, Pan Yunduan, Huating, Songjiang, and Yang Quan are all children of officials. Of course, they know that the person in charge is wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered with a spring knife.

"stop!"

Qian Yuan shouted suddenly, and the Nanjing Jinyiwei Qiandu Tian Dehui frowned and did not stop, but the next moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw more than a dozen strong men appearing on the side.

The Qian family guards are not well-known among the people, but in Zhejiang, the senior officials in Nanzhili have a considerable weight. The Japanese pirates are rampant for thousands of miles and are almost unable to resist. Only the wolf soldiers and the Qian family guards can compete slightly. Nanjing Jinyiwei naturally knows this information.

Yang Wen stopped unwillingly and pulled Zhang San, who refused to stop.

Tian Dehui breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not afraid, if she started to tear her up, it might not be a good thing for her in the future.

"Qian Yuan, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture?"

“That’s right.”

The Jinyiwei drove the other scholars away, and Tian Dehui bowed and said, "The emperor summoned him and went to Beijing immediately."

Qian Yuan paced back and forth for two steps, looked at Tian Dehui's arching hands, then looked at the surrounding Jinyiwei's not a tight encirclement, and said in a deep voice: "My widow is in Nanjing, I hope Xu Qian will go home."

Tian Dehui made way and made a gesture of asking for help.

Qian Yuan put at least half of the heart he was holding back, and he waved to Yang Wen with a smile, "Everyone put away the guy, and he still wanted to rob people from the Jinyiwei!"
