The Lantern Festival lights gradually dimmed, and the spring exam in the second year of Jiayou came in the noise.

There are great scholars in brothels and brothels near the Imperial Academy, but no white men can communicate with each other.

These students emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain, gathering together according to region or other relationships.

The students had already arrived in Bianjing City. After some friendship, they were in seclusion for a while. Now that the spring exam is about to come, they have all come out to activities again. It is natural to relax and accumulate energy before the exam, and it is not unique to later generations.

This situation is naturally welcomed by merchants, especially brothels and brothels. They try their best to make more money, but simply to get closer to the literary style. Everyone is a vulgar person.

Of course, I have come here, so it is appropriate to give some rewards to buy laughing money.

The West Lake City has a beautiful environment, especially the first phase of the project. After continuous improvement, both the environment and the service are one level higher than that in the city, and it is more popular with students.

Ouyang Bian naturally did not hang out with him. He kept a close eye on the account book and found that the examination economy not only benefited Bianjing City, but also promoted Xihu City greatly.

Students take the exam, poor families don’t have much consumption capacity, but most students have information at home, so naturally they can’t take the exam alone. Sometimes, a family of people come to Beijing together, which is equivalent to traveling together.

The city is too crowded, so I rented a yard to study in Xihu City. The environment is quiet and it is extremely convenient to eat and drink anything. As people eat and horses chew, Xihu City is even more prosperous.

The huge West Lake City is a bit conservative to describe it as a daily wage of gold.

Looking at the money, the hard work over the past few days disappeared. Lu Caiwei looked at Ouyang Bian with her smile and eyes, and couldn't help but smile. For some reason, even though Ouyang Bian looked so obsessed, she seemed to have so many temperaments in her eyes.

"Silang, you have prepared many items for the exam and packed them in an exam box. I have checked them many times, so I may have any omissions." Lu Caiwei said.

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Is Zizhan and the others ready?"

Lu Caiwei nodded: "Everything is prepared. The Su family and son, the Zeng brothers have prepared a copy, and there are also carriages to go to the tribute courtyard. In addition, the family has also changed several baskets of copper coins. At that time, the Chinese style can reward the people who are good news. The wife worships the City God, Confucius Sheng, Tudi Gong, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha, Sanqing, etc...."

Ouyang Bian: “…”

Are you serious?

It is understandable to start flags before the Chinese style, and then I will worship Confucius in the exam, but what the hell are these worshipping the land father-in-law?

However, Ouyang Bian understood that when he took the college entrance examination in his previous life, his mother was about the normal operation. After he got into college, his mother said when she saw someone that my son was able to get into college because of my gods and Buddhas all over the world...

Ouyang Bian: “…”

OK, my parents feel a little involved.

The exam is nothing more than that. The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were not only harder, tormenting, and inhumane, but in fact they were no different from those in later generations.

On the day I went to the tribute courtyard, before dawn and the chickens were still chirping, the entire yard where Ouyang Bian lived was boiling.

Just like a gong sounded, the lights were on when they entered the yard. The servants who had been tiptoeing and finally dared to speak, and went into each room to wake up the people who had fallen asleep or had not been sleeping all night.

The servants were well-trained, some were preparing examination boxes, some were preparing carriages, some were preparing hot water to wash, some were preparing breakfast... They looked orderly.

Ouyang Bian was dug up from the bed by a servant and was mercilessly merciless.

"Open your mouth!"

A thick willow branch was poked in and poked everywhere. Ouyang Bian felt a little bloody smell in confusion.

But that doesn't matter. Just rinse your mouth with water. After a while, a warm towel covered the whole face, rolled over like a cow's tongue, and then was carried to the table without touching the feet. Finally, Ouyang Bian, who woke up, raised his hand to stop Lu Caiwei who brought the porridge into his mouth.

Lu Caiwei felt a little aggrieved and handed the bowl to Ouyang Bian to eat it himself.

The Zeng brothers and Su family and the father and son had already finished eating. They looked at Ouyang Bian with a smile. Ouyang Bian didn't feel embarrassed at all - we are still a child, isn't it natural to ensure adequate sleep?

After breakfast, a large group of people got on the carriage, and someone in front of him led the way with lanterns.

The spring is steep, but fortunately, the carriage is as warm as spring, and Ouyang Bian wants to sleep again.

All roads and alleys in Bianjing City were lit up one after another, and lanterns led the way. Behind them were carriages, sedan chairs, or walking people, gradually gathered into a long dragon and rushed into the Imperial Street toward the Gongyuan.

The Su father and son and Ouyang Bian were in a carriage and kept instructing: "You should be rigorous in reviewing the questions, think more, don't be careless, be careful about taboos, and don't be too radical in the article, pay attention to your words..."

Su Shi and Su Zhe nodded repeatedly, and Ouyang Bian also nodded, but he was just sleepy. He thought in a daze that when it comes to radicalism, Su Zhe is better. You and Su Zizhan are going to heaven, and are still saying not to radicalism?

The carriage stopped when it was still some distance from the Gongyuan. Because it could not enter, the sedan chair and the carriage blocked the avenue, so everyone had to get off.

The others carried their own examination boxes, but only Ouyang Bian's examination boxes were for the servant to carry them because he couldn't carry them too much, and the examination boxes were too heavy. They not only had food for the past few days, but also things that had to stay overnight, etc.

Some servants carried lanterns, some servants specially cleared the way, and used their strong bodies to clear a way for Ouyang Bian and others to enter.

After a few cannons, the closed gate of the Gongyuan opened, and several rows of soldiers began to check their identity cards, and there were also checking examination boxes and other things inside.

The Su father and son and the Zeng brothers went in front, and Ouyang Bian, who was struggling forward with the examination box on his back, was stopped.

Bing Ding stared at Ouyang Bian and said, "You kid can't go in."

Ouyang Bian was stunned: "Why can't you enter?"

Bing Ding smiled: "I can only go here to take the exam, and the book boy cannot enter."

Ouyang Bian handed over his identity card with amused and cry. The soldier looked a little surprised: grandfather Ouyang Ye, father Ouyang Xiu, and candidate Ouyang Bian.

The Bing Ding was shocked. It turned out to be this person. He quickly bent down and said, "Prince Ouyang, please come in."

Ouyang Bian smiled and walked in with his body tilted. It seemed a little difficult. Bingding quickly said to the person next to him: "Help Master Ouyang carry the box in."

The person next to him rushed over to help, and Bing Ding smiled and said, "Poor, young."

The inspection is actually very strict, and it is not negligent because of Ouyang Bian's identity. Even a large piece of cake has to be torn apart, and the quilt has to be cut to see if there is any entrainment inside.

After a lot of trouble, I was actually entering the exam room. Fortunately, I had the experience of the test, so Ouyang Biancai was not upset. He just smiled bitterly at the messy exam box.
Chapter completed!
