Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 294 Early Admission
Su Yizhao learned from the second old lady that the fifth prince came to Beiyuan Mansion on business, but they didn't know what kind of business it was.

Moreover, it was a secret order for this person to come to Beiyuan Mansion to do business, but Su Yizhao felt that the other party was a bit of a joke.

Since it is a secret order, it cannot be told to outsiders, and isn't their Su family an outsider?If the rumor leaks out, will it be their Su family who will be blamed in the end?Doesn't this prince want to find someone to take the blame?
Don't look at the fifth prince's young age, as if he only cares about money, who knows if he is using this to cover up his true temperament?Maybe there's a lot of tricks behind the scenes!
After all, didn't those movies and TV shows in the previous life act like this?Perhaps there is some ulterior purpose in borrowing to live in Su's.

Su Yizhao revealed some of his thoughts to Su Yijue, but did not directly tell the second old man and the others.

Now the second old man is all about currying favor with the fifth prince, I'm afraid that the second old man may not be able to listen to what she said.

But Su Yijue is different. First of all, he is a descendant of a descendant, and judging from his performance, his status in the clan is not low.

The last time the clan had to discuss matters, he was not left out.

After Su Yizhao expressed his meaning, he stopped talking.This is also a fine person, so she doesn't need to remind her again.

The next step is to prepare for the exam. It is said that there are 230 people in the provincial exam. According to the previous success rate, that is 60 people.

When it came to the rural examination, Su Yizhao felt that the scientific examination was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Although there were many people in the previous Tongsheng Examination, she felt that compared with the rural examination, it was much easier.

It's no wonder that so many people find it difficult to make further progress after being admitted as a scholar.

Naturally, no one knew about the fact that the fifth prince lived in the Su family's old house, and Su Yizhao hadn't seen him in the past few days, and it was said that he didn't often stay at the mansion and went out all the time.

I don't know what kind of errand it is, the prince was sent here, and it was a secret order, which must be very important.

Soon it will be the eighth day of August, the day before the provincial examination, Su Yizhao needs to enter the Gongyuan in advance, otherwise it will definitely be too late to enter on that day.

It's still the same tribute courtyard, but this time the halls of the tribute courtyard are all in use, and the courtyard is overcrowded.

In order to increase income and reduce expenditure, the imperial court felt that there was no need to arrange additional dormitories for each level of examination, which was a waste.

Therefore, this tribute courtyard is recycled.

The previous county examination consisted of three exams, and each exam lasted three days, but each time you had to enter the exam on the previous day.

In this way, the examination time was greatly lengthened, and a rural examination took more than ten days, which was too long.

Therefore, this court decided to take the exam for three days, and eat, drink, and scatter during these three days in his own dormitory.

After an exam, everyone can go to the temporary venue provided by the Gongyuan to rest.

Only in this way, the candidates will work harder.After all, for three days and two nights, one has to live in a dormitory.

The dormitory is very small, even if you want to lie down and rest, the boards are not spacious, some people can't lie down at all, and have to curl up.

After Su Yizhao entered the Tribute Court, the first thing to do was search.

This time the search was much more careful than before. Even the hair was spread out and the soles of the shoes were not spared.

Fortunately, he didn't let him take off his underwear, and Su Yizhao was also glad that his chest was still flat, so the risk was much smaller.

As soon as he heard that the inspection was over, Su Yizhao immediately put on his own clothes.

Souzi treated candidates with respect, and his words were even more polite.Helpless, they are just officials, and the people in front of them are all future disciples of the emperor, how can they provoke them?
After receiving her dormitory card, she took a look and found that the dormitory in this area was slightly larger than the dormitory she had participated in the county test before.

When the two boards were joined together, she felt that she should be able to barely lie down.

It is a bit uncomfortable for a tall person, and he cannot straighten his legs when he sleeps at night.

There is no need to go to the dormitory to rest on the first night, and they all rest in a temporary place outside the dormitory.

Su Yizhao followed the Yacha to the temporary rest place, and met Su Yijue on the way.

After the two asked each other, they found that the house was a little far away.

"Replenish your energy at night, and I will go to the house tomorrow when the sky is slightly bright." Su Yijue said.

Su Yizhao nodded, and then the two went to the temporary residence with the test basket.

This is a large hall, with wooden beds on the floor, small and narrow, with a thin quilt on top.

"I would like to ask you to stay here for the night, and at the end of Yinshi tomorrow, we have to go to the house."

Su Yizhao looked at the person who spoke. This person was dressed as a guard. He should be the guard of the guard, but he couldn't tell the grade.

But judging from the way he gave orders, he must be at least a thousand households.

The township examination will send guards from the local guards as patrol officers, and sometimes the commander will personally lead the team to patrol the building continuously.

Under such circumstances, if someone still cheats, then Su Yizhao has to admire him.

Su Yizhao didn't sleep well that night, there were so many people crowded in a hall, and the hard board was still sleeping under him.When everyone took off their shoes and socks, the indescribable smell made Su Yizhao's brain ache.

But when he really fell asleep, Su Yizhao realized that this was just the beginning.

The sound of snoring and teeth grinding came one after another in her ears, which made her toss and turn, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived at Yinshi, Su Yizhao couldn't wait to get up, folded the bedding, and did a simple wash.

There are not many candidates like her, and some of them are nervous because of the exam.There are also insomnia because of changing the environment and not getting used to it.

This torn cotton quilt will be carried to the dormitory later, it is what she needs for the next two nights.

The thin cotton-wool quilt was already a bit worn out, and a big hole was broken in one corner of the quilt, revealing the black cotton wool inside, probably because it had never been washed after it was made, and the cotton wool was all lumpy.

Now is not the time to be particular, I can only endure it.

When the hour came, Su Yizhao took his belongings and walked quickly to his dorm.

The food for the two days is contained in the test basket, which can be resupplied midway after the first round is over.

The examination room will provide food, but you have to pay for it yourself, but it is not expensive.

I heard from other candidates that a vegetarian dish costs only two or three renminbi, and meat food is more expensive, costing about eight renminbi a dish.

The examinees here are all scholars, and they will not be so poor that they can still afford to buy a vegetarian dish.

If there are those who are very poor, they can only eat the dry biscuits they brought.

Put away the four treasures of the study, the first thing to do is to grind the ink.

The four treasures of the study here are no different from what I usually use. Everyone has the same standard and the lowest grade.

Su Yizhao didn't ask for much, he only wanted the ink to be smooth and smooth.However, the ink ingots here are also the lowest. Su Yizhao can only grind them carefully, and it takes a long time to grind them, otherwise the lumps and particles inside cannot be ground away, which will affect writing.
