"I only wish that all of my people will be like dragons! Good sentence, really good sentence." After reading it, Chen Zhenhui couldn't help but think, as a future literary master, his literary accomplishment goes without saying.

Although Shi is young, he is much taller than ordinary people.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the two people, as if he was a little blamed, moved the newspaper to his eyes, and then read ten lines at a glance, finishing it quickly. Although this article has many words, it is written in plain language and the meaning is straightforward and clear.

The meaning is not difficult to understand. This is also a characteristic of the Imperial Daily. All articles on the page are white text similar to daily conversations. Even the submissions they accept must be in this style.

At the beginning of the period, it was criticized fiercely by the literary circles and big scholars. It was not reported that the emperor was behind it and was ignored at all. As time went by, no one criticized it. For vernacular, many ordinary people are very welcoming. Writing like this, as long as you know two people.

You can read every word.

This article "Everyone is Like a Dragon" has the same style. The meaning on the surface is not difficult to understand, but the connection between the lines is indeed quite difficult. No wonder this young man can't understand it.

"Come here, tell me what you don't understand!" Lu Xiangsheng said kindly to the young man. Seeing how kind he was, the young man who had been shrinking behind his grandfather became bold and pointed out what he didn't understand to Lu Xiangsheng.

Just like this, time passed quickly between teaching and learning. Finally, after explaining the entire article including the author's extended meanings, Lu Xiangsheng said goodbye and went back. It was getting late and he had to get up early tomorrow morning.

Going to the exam center.

"My father-in-law, I'm going to take my leave now." Lu Xiangsheng saluted and left.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you for your advice." The old man couldn't help but thank him. His grandson also became more alert and shouted loudly, "Thank you for your advice. The student will definitely be as mentioned in the article, work hard and become successful as soon as possible. When the time comes, the student will be successful."

Come find the teacher."

As for the name, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Pu had already written it down when they met. After hearing their words, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hands, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed.

After walking for a while, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt something was wrong. Someone seemed to be following him. When he turned around, he found that the two people were just walking behind him.

Seeing him turn around, Zhang Pu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lu, please forgive me, we also live over there and we happen to be on the same road."

Lu Xiangsheng was relieved and hurried back to rest. Zhang Pu and Chen Zhenhui did not bother with each other. They were both students who were going to take the provincial examination tomorrow, so it was better to take a rest early.

Soon, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and then slid toward the west little by little.

Then, after half of the ugly hour, around three o'clock in the future, every inn on the street lit up and waited. The shopkeeper and the waiter seemed to have been prepared for it. At this time, they had also prepared hot water to send out and wake them up by the way.

The scholar who didn't get up.

After checking and packing his luggage again, Lu Xiangsheng came out of the inn yawning. At the door, he happened to meet Zhang Pu and Chen Zhenhui, who were also yawning.

"Brother Lu has invited me, I'm Chen Zhenhui from Yixing. I was in a hurry yesterday and haven't introduced you yet. I'm really sorry." Seeing Lu Xiangsheng come out, Chen Zhenhui immediately stepped forward to salute and greet them. They are both from Yixing and fellow villagers. They didn't keep in touch when they met.

It's really outrageous.

"Chen Zhenhui!?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned and thought. He only felt that the name was very familiar. "Could it be the young master of Mr. Chen Yuting's house?"

"Ahem, it's my father who, with his humble reputation, has tainted Brother Lu's sight and hearing." Chen Zhenhui looked self-effacing, but looking at his expression, she could not help but feel proud.

"Okay, okay, we have to wait until after the exam to contact you. Let's go to the exam room now." Zhang Pu yawned and interrupted.

When the two of them heard this, they stopped chatting. They carried their things and walked towards Gongyuan. It was still midnight and they were sleepy. In addition, they were facing the provincial examination, so they had no interest in chatting. They just held lanterns and walked silently.

.

There are more and more similar people on the street. Everyone is holding lanterns and hunching their necks, walking stiffly towards the Gongyuan like zombies.

After walking for a while, the lights of Gongyuan appeared in front of us. At this time, many students gathered in front of the door. At the same time, a few shouted hoarsely in the open space, "Come to me from so-and-so house."

Zhang Pu and Chen Zhenhui were not from the same place, and they soon separated. In the end, he was waiting to enter the examination room with Lu Xiangsheng.

Soon, the Gongyuan opened the door, and a small official came out to roll call. Those whose names were read were queued up and searched one by one to get in. These experienced officials turned over the candidates' personal belongings in every possible way, even the pastries.

I also need to take it apart and take a look. But this is a common practice, and no one present has any objection to this.

Soon, as the crowd surged, it was Lu Xiangsheng's turn. After a body search, he took his number plate and walked inside. After looking at the small examination environment, he put down his things and leaned on the table.

Go up and prepare to take a nap. He came in quite early. When everyone came in and the examiner handed out the papers, there was still some time. He just took advantage of this time to recuperate.

Chen Zhenhui was in a dormitory diagonally across from him and saw Lu Xiangsheng's movements. He also followed the same example and lay down to refresh himself.

On the seventh day of August in the first year of Tianqi, as the gate of Gongyuan of the Provincial Government closed with a bang, Zhu Youxue’s first imperial examination began. The entire autumn period was divided into three sessions, each lasting three days, on the 7th and 12th.

and the 15th. After the exam, candidates can go out to replenish supplies and clothes, and then come in again to take the exam.

From the 7th to the 17th, the Qiuwei Provincial Examination lasted for ten days. Ten days later, the gate of Gongyuan was opened, and one exam after another came out. Some were calm, some were desperate, some were excited, and the world was full of emotions.

Presented here.

Lu Xiangsheng also walked out of the Gongyuan with a haggard expression. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was physically strong. Even so, it would be too much for him after ten days, not to mention other scholars with worse physiques.

For example, Chen Zhenhui was carried out. After the examiner announced that the papers were closed, he collapsed to the ground, unable to move, and had no strength at all. In the end, it was the clerks inside who carried him out.

Up to now, he still had no reaction at all. He was lying on something similar to a stretcher, staring at the sky with his eyes blankly, motionless. The howling autumn wind blew on him, unable to make him react at all.

It wasn't until he arrived at the door of the inn that he uttered a faint sentence, "I never want to take the provincial examination again."

"Yeah, it's really hard. I hope I can hit the mark this time." Zhang Pu next to him also echoed with sympathy. He didn't want to participate at all.
