After the second batch of candidates entered the examination room, they were surprised to find that Wang Fu, the examiner, did not appear. Only Wen Renxi was present. There were no accidents on the field, and there was no situation like Ma Jun. It was very surprising.
It went smoothly, until they also finished the exam, they walked into the mansion and met the first batch of candidates. Many candidates were still preparing for tomorrow's exam, but some people were not in a hurry.
For example, Liu Bei, who made friends with Yuan Shao and others before.
Either he was very confident in himself, or he regarded this examination as a good place to make friends with talents from all walks of life. He made friends with some handsome young talents who were well-read in poetry and books, people like him.
There are also quite a few. To others, these people are not only their competitors, but perhaps, in a few days, they will become colleagues. Therefore, they do not have bad words against each other, and they live in harmony.
The second test is arithmetic, which is still a bit difficult for these scholars. After all, most of them are young people who are still learning the principles of Confucianism and have not yet started to learn other miscellaneous disciplines.
Therefore, at night, many students were holding candles and reading at night. Soon after, the soldiers came to deliver the order. According to the order of a certain examiner who did not want to reveal his name, he advised the scholars to rest early and not to be exhausted from staying up late.
Body!
After saying this, they took away the candles in these rooms.
The scholars suddenly realized that they had probably guessed which examiner cared about them so much.
The next day, the first batch of candidates walked out of the room and prepared to take the exam. However, the second batch of candidates were waiting anxiously. The person who asked the questions this time was Wang Fu himself. However, he still did not arrive. Wen Renggong
Sitting on top, he presided over the assessment and handed out the test papers. As expected, today's difficulty was much higher than yesterday. Most of the scholars were exhausted. However, for a disciple of a wealthy family like Yuan Shao, these were still difficult.
Relatively relaxed.
After all, the elders in their family also have some who are dedicated to mathematics and study all day long. They follow behind these elders and are relatively proficient in all aspects. However, the children from poor families are different, like Liu Bei and Liu Bei.
Secretly complaining, he became a disciple of Lu Zhi and only learned some classics, how to manage farmland and mulberry trees, etc. These test questions were simply killing him. In desperation, he could only do it while peeking at it from time to time.
Both sides.
The person next to him was Xun Yu, a descendant of the Xun family. The young Xun Yu was doing the questions very quickly. He noticed Liu Bei's gaze, raised his head proudly, and slowly turned the examination paper in his direction.
He turned aside and continued to work. Liu Bei looked at Xun Yu gratefully and worked on the questions nervously. Examiners came from time to time. Xun You was responsible for looking after this place. Fortunately, Xun You didn't want to get too close to this young uncle.
, gave Liu Bei a chance.
Soon, the exam was over. Xun Yu was the first to finish the answers. He looked at the many scholars with disdain and walked out with his head held high. But at this moment, Liu Bei's heart became a little complicated. Although this son was from a wealthy family,
But after all, he was young. If everything he wrote was wrong, wouldn't he... Alas, Liu Bei felt a little worried, but he immediately rushed up to catch up with Xun Yu, lowered his body, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Xun!"
"Hey, it's okay, but..." Xun Yu got close to him and asked in a low voice: "Did you make any corrections when you copied it?"
"Of course, I have modified it a little, so you can rest assured that if something happens, I will not implicate you!" Liu Bei said very seriously.
Xun Yu smiled and nodded, and said: "That's good. I'm not afraid that you will harm me. It's just that this question is even simple. If you copy them all and get a perfect score when the test comes, wouldn't it be detrimental to me?"
The young Xun Yu said arrogantly, put his hands behind his back, and left swaggeringly. Liu Bei watched him leave blankly, but he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
The second batch of candidates immediately took over from them and walked in after they completed their assessment.
At this time, the only person taking the exam was Cai Yong, and even Wen Renggong was missing.
Yuan Mansion, Study Room
"This king's talisman is really outrageous. It's like a mad dog. It bites and won't let go. If the emperor hadn't been wise, I might have been caught and taken to the Embroidered Clothes Messenger's Mansion!" Wen Renxi said angrily.
, Yuan Feng opposite him said nothing, looked at him with a smile, and nodded.
"Why don't you, Mr. Yuan, join me in playing this traitor together and cook him and eat him?"
"Mr. Wen Ren, if you have something to do, just say it. There's no need to do this..." Yuan Feng said calmly. Wen Ren was stunned for a moment, then coughed and said, "That's it. I see these candidates.
Most of them are from poor families and don’t even have paper for their drafts, so I want to prepare some for them..."
"Shan, if you think so, sir, just do it. Why bother telling me?"
"You also know that I am an honest official and don't have that much money. Therefore, I want to borrow some from you and I will definitely pay it back in the future..." Wenren said with a smile.
Yuan Feng suddenly understood, nodded and said: "Send off the guests!"
"Yuan Jun, you and I have been friends for many years, please don't do this..."
In the end, Wen Renxi walked out of Yuan's house happily, and then he visited several ministers in succession.
The second day of assessment ended and the third day soon came.
By this time, many candidates had become familiar with each other, and they all said hello when they met. Of course, there were also a few who were not sociable and taciturn, such as Ma Jun. Liu Bei had wanted to make friends with him since yesterday, but so far he has not
They were unable to find out his disciple or origin. The main test on the third day was law. The questioner was Yang Qiu. It was Yang Qiu. After the candidates heard this name, they felt that this test would definitely not be too special.
Simple.
Sure enough, the first few questions were normal. They asked about some basic Han laws and how to deal with them. Later, the questions gradually changed a bit. For example, the laws of the Han Dynasty required beheading and governing the country with severe punishments.
What are the benefits and so on? In order to pass the examination, the candidates can only answer the examiner's test without conscience. This test is actually what Liu Bei is best at, because he has stayed in Hezhou for a long time and often accompanies the administration.
The fourth day is the last subject and the most critical subject nowadays, Nong Sang.
Cui Mie personally composed the questions. The children from poor families have been busy with farming since they were young. This is considered the easiest subject for them. As for the wealthy families, Yuan Shao and others often read some agricultural books in Taiyue College, and they are also concerned about mulberry farming.
He was more familiar with it, but it was hard for talented people like Xun Yu to scratch their heads and not know how to write. Fortunately, Liu Bei was by his side, and he would read the test papers from time to time, so that Xun Yu could copy.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu didn't appreciate it. He put down his pen and ink, and didn't look sideways. Later, he simply closed his eyes and waited for the end of the assessment.
