Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 280

After the second batch of candidates entered the examination room, they were surprised to find that Wang Fu, who was the chief examiner, did not appear, only Wen Renxi was present, and there was no accident on the court, nor did Ma Jun appear. It went well. They didn't enter the mansion until they finished the exam and joined the first batch of candidates. Many candidates were still preparing for tomorrow's exam, but there were also some people who were not in a hurry.

For example, the former Liu Bei who made friends with Yuan Shao and others.

Either he was very confident in himself, or he decided that this assessment was 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 not a few of them. To others, these people are not only their own competitors, but perhaps, after a few days, they will become colleagues. Therefore, they do not speak ill of each other, and they get along in harmony.

The second assessment is arithmetic, which is still somewhat difficult for these scholars. After all, most of them are young people who are still learning Confucianism, and have not started learning other miscellaneous subjects. Therefore, at night, many students read at night by candlelight. Soon after, the soldiers came to pass an order, according to the order of an examiner who did not want to disclose his name, admonishing the scholars to rest early and not to be exhausted from staying up all night. body!

After speaking, they took away the candles in these rooms.

The scholars suddenly realized that they probably guessed which examiner cared about them so much.

The next day, the first batch of examinees walked out of the room and prepared to take the exam, but the second batch of examinees waited anxiously. This time it was Wang Fu himself who set the test, but he was still not present. Sitting on the top, presided over the assessment, and handed out the test papers. Sure enough, today’s difficulty is much higher than yesterday’s. Relatively easy.

After all, the elders in their family also have some concentration and numerology skills, and they are immersed in research all day long. They follow behind these elders, and they are relatively proficient in various aspects, but the children of poor families are different, just like Liu Bei, Liu Bei Secretly complaining, he worshiped under Lu Zhi's family, and he only learned some classics, such as managing agriculture and mulberry. These exam questions are simply killing him. In desperation, he can only do it while secretly peeking sides.

The person next to him is the son of the Xun family, Xun Yu. The young Xun Yu was doing the questions extremely fast. He noticed Liu Bei's gaze, raised his head proudly, and slowly turned the exam paper in his direction Turning to the side, he continued to work. Liu Bei looked at Xun Yu gratefully, nervously working on the questions, and examiners would come here from time to time. Xun You was in charge of taking care of 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, and Xun Yu was the first to complete the answers. He looked at the 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 came from a wealthy family, But after all, he was young, if what he wrote was all wrong, then he wouldn’t be right. Alas, Liu Bei was a little worried, but he immediately rushed up to Xun Yu’s side, bowed his body, cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Mr. Xun, for your help.” , I am very grateful!"

"Hey, no problem, but" Xun Yu approached him and asked in a low voice, "Did you edit it when you copied it?"

"Of course, I have modified a little bit, you can rest assured, if something happens, I will definitely not implicate you!" Liu Bei said very seriously.

Xun Yu nodded with a smile and said, "That's good. I'm not afraid that you will hurt me, but this question is even simple. If you copy everything and get a perfect score, wouldn't it be against me?", The young Xun Yu said arrogantly, put his hands behind his back, and left swaggeringly. Liu Bei watched him leave in a daze, but he had some bad premonition in his heart.

The second batch of candidates, after they finished the assessment, immediately replaced them and walked in.

But at this time, only Cai Yong was the examiner, and even Wen Rengong was gone.

Yuan Mansion, Study Room

"This king talisman is really outrageous. It is like a mad dog. It bites and bites. If the emperor is not wise, I am afraid that even I will be arrested and taken to the Embroidered Clothes Emissary's Mansion!" Wen Renxi said angrily , Yuan Feng opposite him didn't say much, looked at him with a smile, and nodded.

"Yuan Jun, why don't you play with me, play this traitor together, cook and eat him, how about?"

"Mr. Wen, if there is anything, it's fine to just speak up. There's no need to be like this." Yuan Feng said calmly. I don’t even have paper for a trial draft, so I want to prepare some for them.”

"Good, if Wen Rengong thinks so, then just do it, why bother to tell me?"

"You know, I'm a clean and honest official, and I don't have that much money, so I want to borrow some from you, and I will definitely return it in the future," Wen Renxi said with a smile.

Yuan Feng suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "See off the guests!"

"Yuan Jun, you and I have been friends for many years, don't do this."

In the end, Wen Renxi walked out of Yuan's house cheerfully, and then he visited several court ministers in succession.

The assessment on the second day was over, and soon came the third day.

At this time, many candidates are also familiar with each other, and they all greet each other when they meet. Of course, there are also a few who are not so gregarious and reticent, such as Ma Jun. Liu Bei has wanted to make friends with him since yesterday, but until now I couldn't find out his teacher's school or origin. The third day's assessment was mainly about the law, and the questioner was Yang Qiu. After hearing this name, the examinees felt that this assessment must not be too serious. Simple.

Sure enough, the first few questions were quite normal. I asked some basic Han laws and asked how to deal with them. Later, the questions gradually deteriorated. What are the benefits? In order to pass the assessment, candidates can only answer the examiner's test against their conscience. This test is what Liu Bei is best at, because he has stayed in Hezhou for a long time and often accompanied the administrator.

The fourth day, which is the last one, can be regarded as the most critical subject nowadays, Nongsang.

Cui Shi wrote the questions himself. The children of poor families have been busy with farming since they were young, and this is the easiest one for them. As for the aristocratic families, Yuan Shao and the like, they often read some agricultural books in the Taiyuan Academy. I am more familiar with it, but I have suffered from talents like Xun Yu. I scratched my head and scratched my head, but I didn’t know how to write it. Fortunately, Liu Bei was by his side, and he would side-by-side the test paper from time to time, so that Xun Yu could copy it.

Unexpectedly, Xun Yu didn't appreciate it, put down his pen and ink, kept his eyes fixed, and then simply closed his eyes, waiting for the end of the assessment.
