Chapter 237 Daxing Imperial Examination (continued)

"The time of the pen is here, the papers are collected!"

When he heard this sound, Xiao Shanwen had been resting for more than an hour and had also reviewed it for more than three times. He was sure that the article he wrote was not stained with ink and did not make any taboos. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the document to the soldiers.

"Your husband will definitely be able to go to high school!" The soldier took the document and sealed it in a bamboo tube to prevent damage. Then he said with a smile. He saw it all these three days. He was calm and calm, wrote with a brilliant mind, and wrote well. The probability of Chinese style is very high.

"Receive good words more!" Xiao Shanwen also bowed and said with a smile.

When he walked out of the room, he stretched out his muscles and stayed in the narrow room for three days. He had been exhausted and had declined to the extreme in both physical and mental strength. If he hadn't been able to provide porridge and hot water, he would have been lying down long ago.

In the past few days, he saw many people falling down and being sent to see a doctor. Without a good health, it was difficult to become an official. He could understand the position of the court.

There were still some unfinished people in the field who were snatched away by soldiers and sat on the ground and cried loudly. Some looked confident and handed over to the soldiers with serenely, as if they had regarded themselves as officials.

He shook his head and smiled, packed up his things and prepared to leave, but the exit was simple, with only a few soldiers guarding him, only allowed to leave but not enter.

"Langjun--" As soon as he left the house, the servant at home rushed up with a quick step, carried the bookcase in his hand, and a man supported him and sent him to a donkey cart that had been prepared.

"Has the second master come out?" He asked after drinking a cup of hot tea and slowing down.

"Not yet!" The servant cooked tea and handed over a hot meat pie.

"The second master is out!" At this time, with a scream, several servants rushed over. Unlike Xiao Shanwen, who was pale, his lively second brother was still a little energetic, and his steps were windy and jumped onto the donkey cart.

"Brother, I've answered all the test papers this time, probably I've won!" Xiao Congwen said excitedly with a cup of hot tea.

"There are nearly 3,000 people who passed the Jinshi exam this time, and they won one in thirty. How could they be so confident?" Xiao Shanwen smiled. He wanted to laugh at his brother's sudden confidence.

"When I appeared, I asked several candidates who took the imperial examination in the surrounding area. Their academic studies were not complete, and the best ones could not beat me. This time I will be safe!"

Xiao Congwen expressed his basis, which made Xiao Shanwen feel certain.

"Three days have passed, we have all passed the exam. We took advantage of the time to go to the West City to take a walk. I heard that Yucheng is not closed at night and it is very lively, but Yangzhou has no!" Xiao Congwen was in a very jumpy mood, and he also recovered and said quickly.

"Okay!" After tensing for three days, Xiao Shanwen's head was also buzzing, so it would be better to relax.

Fanyu City has always imitated Chang'an, not only the imperial palace, but also the Hufang is inseparable. Of course, the tradition of building an imperial palace has been inherited, and the imperial palace occupies almost one-fifth of Fanyu's area.

The most lively Western City in Chang'an was also imitated by Fanyu. It is also the most lively place, with various merchants, which are eye-opening.

Since Li Jia abolished the market system, merchants have begun to drill through the walls of the yard, put on a canopy outside, and sell various goods directly to the streets. The wastelands between the yards and the yards have also been bought by many merchants, and new houses have been built. The residence is a warehouse, and the house is a hotel, which is lined up one after another.

Xishi is the largest market in Fanyu and a place that ordinary people like to come. It is famous for its large size. There are not only rice sellers, farm tools, herbs, silks, and livestock. There are even many wineries and brothels, with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively.

The two brothers walked side by side, and when they saw something unique to Lingnan, they often stopped and watched. Suddenly, the gongs and drums were singing in front of them, and the crowd formed a circle. The two hurriedly walked over and saw that, and their chins were suddenly shocked:

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat, shaking a colorful long worm, about five feet long, with a thick arm of a child, but it seemed like a spirit in his hand. He walked from his thigh to his arm, then wrapped it on the hat, lifted his head and tail with both hands, and rolled it into a hemp rope, and then straightened it, and it became a wooden stick...

The variety of styles made everyone clap and cheer. The copper coins they rewarded felt that they were worth it. Of course, there was no lead money, and they would be dispersed as soon as they were thrown away.

A little girl went back with the gong for collecting money. The sharp-eyed man even saw that a little snake was wrapped around her body. It was really terrifying.

"Everyone, I have been catching snakes for generations. When it comes to snake charming, few people can match my family. Not only are they catching snakes, but they also raise snakes at home. Snakes give birth to snakes, generation after generation, these are all treasures of my family, everyone can take a look!"

Then, a little girl and brother brought a bucket of water. Everyone took a closer look and saw a lot of red and black things floating in the water, like internal organs.

"There are all good snake galls floating in this bucket. Fake snake galls sink when they encounter water. Eating snake galls can remove wind and dampness, cool and brighten eyes, and detoxify!" The middle-aged man held the long insect and said with a smile:

"One snake gallbladder and thirty copper coins!"

The long snake on the body screamed lazyly, not caring about it.

Then, another big bucket was brought up, which was black and eye-catching.

"This is the best snake oil ointment. It can moisturize the skin on the body, and can also treat burns, scalds, frostbite, etc. It is a rare medicine, ten copper coins and one bamboo tube!"

Then, he raised a small bamboo tube the size of a finger.

The two brothers were stunned and thought they were selling juggling, but they expected that they were selling medicine.

But the people of Lingnan were very happy and rushed to buy them. They were not Lingnan people and did not know the pain of rheumatism. Whether it was snake gallbladder or snake oil ointment, it was a rare and cheap medicine for Lingnan people.

Of course, eating more snake meat can also be effective.

There are many picks in the West City, coming and going, dancing with long sleeves, and it is very lively. There are even more funds to raise money to enter brothels. I hope I will be drunk and not wake up...

In the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, hundreds of selected clerks and officials were holding pens and writing quickly. They had to observe carefully, and there were no mistakes or omissions, otherwise an article would be ruined.

This is the main method of copying and preventing cheating. Everyone has different font styles, so it is easy for the examiner to know whether he is the person in the trap.

Before handing over it and copying, a horizontal bar was posted, blocking the name and origin to prevent the copyist from cheating.
