This heavy rain caught everyone off guard, and at this time, you can see the difference between being prepared and not being prepared.

Wu Shan and Li Chunfang were patrolling everywhere with umbrellas. Suddenly, they saw the door of a quotation room being blocked tightly. A gust of wind hanged by, and the lanterns under the eaves were blowing, but the curtains that blocked the quotation room were still motionless.

"Release."

The invigilator immediately lifted the curtain. Wu Shan looked up and saw a young man sitting on a low stool. He turned his head in surprise. He held a pen in his right hand, and there was an inkstone on his left hand. He was separated by a wooden board. There was also a cup of tea on the other side. Obviously, this was to prevent the tea cup from accidentally pouring the test paper.

Wu Shan didn't say anything, and his eyes quickly circled around the number room. There was an oil umbrella on it, and the cracks on the wall were filled with oil paper. The two number boards were on one side and there was no use.

Wu Shan's eyes fell on the coal stove next to the board, "Beware of coal poison."

Qian Yuan sent a glimpse of thanks, but didn't say anything.

Wu Shan let go of the door curtain and was about to leave. Li Chunfang behind him tried to push the door curtain with a tut, and then looked at the wooden stick that was not originally on the lintel.

It is very terrible when it comes to rain during the exam. Not to mention the ceiling or walls of the number room, the most important thing is that the number room is too small and has no doors. Generally, candidates sit facing the door. Once they encounter wind and rain that happens to be in this direction, there is no place to hide!

Qian Yuan had already made preparations. He sat horizontally, and there was a recess on the box where a wooden board could be inserted. On the one hand, it was to put tea cups on the other side, and on the other hand, it was to prevent wind and rain.

After it rained, Qian Yuan immediately stuffed the test paper into the box and put it in it, found a wooden stick, a small hammer, and a few nails, fixed the wooden stick to the door, and then put a bedding on it and hung it like a quilt, just covering the door tightly.

However, rain also brought another problem, it was cold. It was about March of the Gregorian calendar in early February, and the temperature in Beijing was not high at all. When it rained, the temperature dropped sharply.

If you want to use a charcoal basin to keep warm, you have to be careful of being poisoned by carbon. If you don’t use a charcoal basin to keep warm, you have to be careful of being frozen.

Every time I encounter heavy rain in the exam, I always carry a few bodies or a few candidates who are frozen hard.

Honeycomb coal stoves are more likely to be poisoned. Qian Yuan has already turned off the furnace and is a little nervous. Although he has reminded him before, he knows whether those people remember it. Looking at the serious expression of the examiner just now, Qian Yuan is really afraid that someone in that group of people will have something wrong.

After calming down, Qian Yuan continued to polish the work. It was already the last Five Classics. When other candidates were shouting and even wailing, Qian Yuan sat steadily in the room and focused his mind. Even because of the thick curtains, the sound could not be heard in.

After checking the seven draft papers from beginning to end, checking whether there were any mistakes such as forgetting to avoid taboos, Qian Yuan began to formally copy them.

It was late at night that he finally finished copying all seven questions. Qian Yuan sighed. Just by the eight-legged essay level, he could only be considered to be a medium-sized person. It is hard to say whether he can pass the exam or not.

In the past two months, Suiyuan has been having a meeting almost every three or four days. Putting aside Xu Wei's sarcasm, the most fair evaluation should come from Tao Dalin. He commented like this... It depends entirely on luck!

Qian Yuan lifted the curtain and found that the moon above his head was sprinkling bright moonlight. The rain had stopped at some point. The ground in the alley passage was not bluestone slabs, but loess, which were already muddy, and you could still see puddles of all sizes.

After exercising his skills, Qian Yuan smiled at the invigilator at the door, "Thank you for your hard work."

The soldier was speechless. He had been in this industry for more than ten years. This was the first time he had seen such a juren. He slept during the day and took exams at night. He didn't say anything else, but he was so tired that he stood here and swayed.

After thinking about it, Qian Yuan took out the coal stove to make a fire, burned a pot of water, washed his face and burned his feet, and poured two more soups to burn the bedding. Because there was already a bedding as a door curtain, it was a bit difficult to bear tonight.

When he woke up the next day, the other candidates were still busy. Qian Yuan slowly came out and fryed two meat dumplings, both of which were sliced ​​in advance. After frying them with oil, the fragrance spread for several miles.

Outside the Gongyuan, Yang Wen led the leader and guards occupied a large area of ​​place. Yesterday, the rain was heavy and the temperature dropped sharply. The Gongyuan sent four juren out with a hanging basket and went straight to the clinic. It is said that one of them had died.

"It's out, it's out!"

Dozens of scholars walked out of the dragon gate one after another, and in the end, three or four people shouted at the eye-catching Yang Wen from afar: "Help!"

Yang Wen led his men to come up. When he got close, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was not the young master.

"Bomao, Bomao!" Chen Younian supported Xian Yu, "Hurry up, I'm suffering from the cold wind and my forehead is hot."

Yang Wen immediately asked someone to carry Xian Yu into the carriage to see the doctor. He was still here and felt a little anxious.

Well, at this time, Qian Yuan was still drinking porridge and eating fried rice dumplings in Pan Yunduan's envious eyes.

It was not until noon that Qian Yuan handed over the papers, held the umbrella and threw the box down, and went straight to the gantry to wait. Anyway, this seat was the second and third games.

There are already a large number of scholars in the Longmen who are handing over the papers and preparing to go out. Some are dull, some are already in tears, and some are full of energy. Not every number room will be hit by wind and rain. In the Kao Lane, there are two rows of number rooms facing each other, and at least half will not be hit by wind and rain.

Some candidates are talking big and talking about their articles in a scattered manner. Qian Yuan is unwilling to pay attention to it and stands on the periphery. But someone is sharp-eyed. A handsome scholar bows and smiles: "This is Suiyuan Qianzhan Talent. I don't know how to solve the problem of 'use it and hide it if it is left alone'?"

Qian Yuan recognized this man, Zou Yinglong, from Gaolan, Lanzhou. He met in Xu's mansion before going to Tanzhe Temple to see him.

Qian Yuan knew about Zou Yinglong in his previous life. It is said that he impeached Yan Song and was Xu Jie's confidant disciple. Unexpectedly, Xu Jie was admitted to him before the imperial examination.

Zou Yinglong visited Xu Mansion a lot of times, and he could hear the name Qian Yuan almost every time. Later, he visited Suiyuan, but Qian Yuan was quite cold to him.

"I dare not leave the dragon gate, so as not to be suspected of collusion." Qian Yuan calmly blocked him back, which was the best reason.

Zou Yinglong sneered a few times, "I'm afraid I'm just eating and drinking all these three days, right?"

It's nothing to do with you. Qian Yuan changed direction expressionlessly, but Zou Yinglong didn't give up. He took two steps and wanted to face Qian Yuan, but suddenly knocked down someone next to him.

Zou Yinglong turned to look in a panic, but breathed a sigh of relief. He was a white-haired old man with a ravine face, which was the kind of person with no future.

Generally speaking, if you only become a Jinshi after you are forty, it will be difficult to achieve something in your career. Even if you are knowledgeable, the Hanlin Academy will not be willing to take it. The important thing is to save the minister and save the minister. But first of all, you must be a Jinshi in your forties. When you can realize your ambitions, you will probably retire.

This is also an important reason why the number of prodigy of imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty was endless. Li Dongyang spent twenty-five years in the Hanlin Academy before he became the Zuo Chunfang Zuozi. From then on, he officially boarded a helicopter. But you have to know that he was only seventeen years old when he passed the Jinshi. If he was forty years old, he would be able to pass the Jinshi... I was afraid that his bones would melt after twenty years!

The old man in front of him was obviously in his fifties and sixties. Zou Yinglong, who was young and energetic, also caught the Xu Jie line and certainly didn't care. He just bowed his hand slightly and ignored it.

At this time, the dragon gate opened, and everyone went out one after another with umbrellas. From a distance, Yang Wen was waving.

Qian Yuan held the white-haired old man and grinned, "Brother Boru wrote to me, I want my juniors to take care of you."

Before the old man could react, Qian Yuan rushed forward and kicked Zou Yinglong away with one kick.

"What a person like Zhenchuan Gong? It would be fine if you accidentally knock him down. If you don't even say apologize, you will still treat "Rites", what a big deal!"

"All the articles of sages have been read into the dog's belly!"

There are not many people who know Gui Youguang, but there are not many scholars who don’t know the name. Many scholars who handed out the book in advance are from the south. Everyone knows the weight of the name Gui Youguang and they all express their condemnation.

In front of everyone, Zou Yinglong could only get out of shame amid Qian Yuan's angry scolding.
