Since the start of the exam, I beat the drum every hour. When Xiao Yeteng finished copying, the second drum just passed, and it took about two hours to get a little longer, and the sky was approaching noon.

In modern times, if you take the exam for four hours in a row, this is still the most basic test for a child. No wonder the exam room is like a battlefield. Those who are weaker can't hold on to the end. Anyone who faints halfway through the exam and vomits blood is common.

Even though Xiao Ye has the true energy and has grown his wisdom through chanting, he still feels exhausted both physically and mentally. He put down his pen, supported the desk with both hands, adjusted his breathing and restored his energy, and waited for the test paper to dry naturally. It’s not that he can’t hand in the paper, but that the ink marks have not dried. If he handed it over, he wouldn’t have time to cry. There are raindrops floating outside, so he can only wait slowly.

After a while, the sleepiness gradually faded, and Xiao Ye secretly observed other candidates, especially Lu Wen, who was most concerned about him.

Lu Wen was still writing, sometimes his eyebrows were tightly twisted and sometimes he looked struggling. It was obviously because he was unable to make up his mind about Mo Yi's second question. Xiao Ye couldn't help but feel shocked. This was a strong opponent.

As a time traveler, he hesitated for a while even though he knew that Empress Wu would be the emperor. Lu Wen was a native native and could not foresee Empress Wu's ambitions. At most, he would only treat it as another Lu Zhi. He could see something else on this topic, and it was obviously purely based on talent.

Looking at others again, some people write and stop writing, some are twisted and don’t start writing for a while.

Shaoqing, confirming that the test paper was thoroughly dried, Xiao Ye raised his hand!

"What's the matter?"

The invigilator looked over.

"carry out an assignment!"

Xiao Ye said lightly.

"oh?"

The official glanced at Xiao Ye in surprise and said, "You can go by yourself, and you are about to alarm others!"

"yes!"

Xiao Ye bowed and left the school.

The official had heard of Xiao Ye's masterpiece. Out of curiosity, after receiving the test paper, he did not put it in a special wooden box as soon as possible. Instead, he turned to the third volume to read the poems written by Xiao Ye.

Even if he recited silently, his face could not help but look shocked, and he almost applauded. Although he woke up in time, he wrote the test paper on the spot, collected the draft, put it in a sealed bag, and then put it in a wooden box, and left in a hurry, but his expression could not be hidden from others.

‘Damn it, this bastard has finished answering? What does the test paper mean?’

Huang Wenguang was stuck in the second question. He had no clear concept of solving the question, but he felt that it was not appropriate to solve the question according to the original meaning. While racking his brains and thinking hard, he saw Xiao Ye handing in the paper and the shock of the officials. His mentality was difficult to stabilize. He became confused and could no longer think carefully. So he wrote and solved it according to the original meaning.

Lu Wen was also shocked. Xiao Ye was naturally not a man of Meng Lang. He didn't believe that Xiao Ye was answering the paper randomly, so he must think twice before writing it. Could it be that he easily solved this question?

Is it used the original meaning or the extended meaning?

It is very simple to use the extended meaning. The difficulty of answering this question is to follow the extended meaning. The great principles are linked together, and the talents are like a spring, refreshing and refreshing, which makes people unable to stop. However, when you look back, you will find that whether it is the original meaning or the extended meaning, it is correct to continue to explain and it is difficult to choose.

Lu Wen couldn't help but think about it.

In Lu Wen's eyes, Xiao Ye could not have noticed the difference between the original meaning and the extended meaning. He also noticed that Xiao Ye had pauses when solving the problem, and obviously was making choices. Which one would this person choose?

After thinking about it, the tendency toward the original meaning gradually gained the upper hand.

‘Well, just fight this time!’

Lu Wen felt helpless. He didn't rely on his own understanding to solve the questions, but guessing other people's questions instead, which was a big blow to his self-esteem. However, the imperial examination was so difficult. More than 4,000 students only took thirty numbers. No matter how proud he was, he was not sure. He comforted himself in his heart, which was nothing more than a small way. Compared with fame, this was nothing, so he immediately picked up his pen and wrote.

County school lobby.

Zhang Jianzhi sat in the head, with the county magistrate, county magistrate, and two professors from the mansion on the left and right.

There was a charcoal furnace burning in the house, and all the five people remained silent. The three-way drum sounded, and the rolls were forced to be collected.

"Report to the Lord, the test papers are collected!"

At this time, an official from outside came to report.

"oh?"

The five of them looked at each other and handed in just two hours?

The county magistrate couldn't help but ask, "Which district, who handed the paper?"

"Xiao Ye, Ding District!"

The clerk answered truthfully.

"Don't talk too much next time!"

Zhang Jianzhi glanced at the county magistrate with a warning look and said lightly: "Put down the test paper, you can go back!"

"yes!"

The official placed the paper bag from the wooden box and turned around and left.

Zhang Jianzhi lowered his head and lowered his eyes. He seemed to be in a state of no turmoil, but his thoughts were actually fluctuating. He wanted to take apart and take a look. He was worried that Xiao Ye would write too quickly and not be able to think carefully. He fell into a trap. He wrote a Chinese article in a scattered manner, but he did useless efforts. If this is the case, he would have no choice.

Thinking of yesterday's trial...

According to the man's instructions, it was not Shi Jin, but the fifth brother of the Xiao family who ordered him to slapped Xiao Ye's face. This surprised him. He finally had a seed of study, but Xiao Fang was in trouble in the clan, which also made him extremely angry. However, tomorrow it will be the imperial examination, and he did not want to divide Xiao Ye's heart, so he ordered the officers to arrest the two ruffians in prison, and kept silent for the time being. Xiao Rang did not know that the matter had been exposed.

‘Oh~~’

Zhang Jianzhi sighed secretly.

Xiao Ye left the county school and did not rush to leave. He stood under the eaves and waited for Chen Zi'ang and Zhang Jian.

The rain has stopped, the sky is still gloomy, and there are a lot more people outside the county school than in the middle of the night.

Most of the time later, some students left the county school one after another, some left directly, and some stayed in place like Xiaoye.

"Young Master is out!"

Suddenly, Shi Jin and the county school were out of the county school, and more than a dozen servants immediately surrounded him.

"Young Master, can you go back home?"

A servant asked.

Shi Jin glanced coldly and saw nearly ten students standing in front of the county school, including Xiao Ye, and he felt unhappy and hummed, "Don't rush to leave for the time being."

"The young master got in the car and drank two bowls of porridge to warm his stomach!"

Another servant said with a smile.

"Yeah~~"

Shi Jin nodded and got on his gorgeous carriage.

"Brother!"

Suddenly a crisp cry came from my ears.

Xiao Ye turned around and saw Du holding a basket in his left hand and supporting Qiao Niang with his right hand. He immediately went up and said, "Why is Aunt here? Didn't you say you don't want to come?"

Before leaving last night, Xiao Ye repeatedly told Du not to pick her up, but she still came.

Qiao Niang snorted, "Isn't you afraid that you will be hungry and hungry? Why, are you unhappy if you bring you porridge?"

"this……"

Xiao Ye's nose was slightly sour, and he couldn't help looking at Du.

In fact, he felt very embarrassed when he got along with Du. After all, he was an adult's psychological age and had not completely changed. Du was in his early thirties, weak, beautiful, well-maintained with a good face and figure. He had a petty bourgeois mood in his every move. He really couldn't treat Du as his aunt.

On the contrary, Qiao Niang is just a minor girl, and she gets along much more naturally.

"Set your brother quickly and serve a bowl of porridge."

Du smiled slightly and turned his head and said.

"oh!"

Qiao Niang uncovered the cotton cloth covered by the basket, took out the clay pot, opened the lid, took out a pottery bowl, poured a large bowl of white rice porridge, emitting heat, and then she supported Xiao Ye.

"Brother, give it!"

"Um!"

Xiao Ye nodded, picked up the bowl, and started drinking.
Chapter completed!
