Chapter 2 Women Disguised as Men to Participate in the Imperial Examination ([-])

The next day, Yin time.

The sun has not yet risen, and the sky is foggy, and now we have to light the lamps when we go out.

Jiang Zhao was already up.

When Jiang Zhao went out, there were already many people sitting downstairs. Everyone was sitting in twos and threes having breakfast together, occasionally talking about something.

These are the candidates who took the exam today.

The owner and waiter of the inn also got up early to prepare breakfast for everyone.

Jiang Zhao was also planning to go downstairs to have breakfast when she heard a voice calling her name behind her.

"Brother Jiang Zhao."

Looking back, Jiang Zhao saw a handsome man in white clothes and holding a fan standing behind him, looking at her with a smile.

"Brother Mu Bai." Jiang Zhao replied with the same smile. "Brother Mu Bai also got up so early."

Si Mubai walked to Jiang Zhao's side in two steps, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and said, "It's getting late, everyone got up, we should be the last ones to get up."

"Yeah, I will take the test today, so how can I not get up early, if I miss it, I will regret it forever." Jiang Zhao said, looking at the group of candidates downstairs.

After hearing what she said, Si Mubai smiled and said, "Brother Jiang Zhao is only sixteen now, and he has passed high school, and now he has to take part in the general examination, so it doesn't matter if he misses one class.

But Brother Jiang Zhao is very talented, so I think he will try high school today. "

Si Mubai's words were not considered a compliment, the group of candidates downstairs were all in their 30s and [-]s, and even some of the candidates had gray beards and were still taking the imperial examination.

He originally thought that he was considered young among the candidates at the age when he was just weak, but it was only when he met Jiang Zhao during the provincial examination that he realized that he was really old.

When he first met Jiang Zhao, Si Mubai thought he had met a child prodigy, and Jiang Zhao was only 15 years old at that time.

But women's bones are naturally smaller than men's. Standing among a group of men in their 30s, 50s, or even [-]s and [-]s, she looks like a child, which is too conspicuous.

However, Jiang Zhao passed the examination at the age of 15, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child prodigy.

While the two were talking, the door behind them opened, and a man in black came out from inside.

The man was tall and slender, with sharp edges and corners, and a cold expression on his face.

When Jiang Zhao saw the man coming out, a smile appeared on his face: "Zhongqing, you got up too."

Wei Xiang nodded and bowed, but said nothing.

He was born with few words, and Jiang Zhao got used to it.

Then the three of them went downstairs to have breakfast together.

Jiang Zhao sat down with Simubai, and Wei Xiang naturally sat beside Jiang Zhao, but Jiang Zhao seemed to be used to it, and didn't care that Wei Xiang sat next to her.

In the Tianyu dynasty, the status of slaves was extremely low, no different from that of livestock.

But Jiang Zhao was able to eat at the same table as him, as if he didn't care about the difference between master and slave.

He glanced at the book boy standing beside him, even though his stomach was growling with hunger, he didn't dare to open his mouth to eat at the same table as his master.

Si Mubai beckoned and told the bookboy to sit down and eat together, but the bookboy waved his hands quickly: "No...no need, young master, just eat the small ones after you finish eating."

But Si Mubai insisted on letting him eat together: "You can eat as you please, this is an order."

Hearing the word of order, the book boy sat down anxiously, but the whole person seemed extremely restrained, and he didn't even dare to reach out to eat.

Seeing him like this, Si Mubai frowned.

In the end, Jiang Zhao came out to smooth things over: "Brother Mu Bai, since he is not used to having breakfast with us, let's order another table for him after we finish eating."

Si Mubai saw him like this, so he had no choice but to wave his hand to let him go down.

The book boy hurriedly got off the table as if he had been granted an amnesty, and gave Jiang Zhao grateful eyes.

"Brother Mu Bai, what do you think this test will be about?" Jiang Zhao bit the meat bun in his hand that was bigger than her face, and brought the topic to the test.

"Nowadays the border is turbulent, and the monsters and barbarians are rampant. Presumably, the theme will be monsters or the border military." Si Mubai said his bet.

But Jiang Zhao shook his head: "Although monsters and barbarians are raging, our Tianyu army can suppress them. I think this exam will not be based on border military."

"Oh~ What do you think the topic will be?" Si Mubai asked.

Jiang Zhao thought for a while and said, "In my humble opinion, this exam should be about persuading students or bringing peace to the country."

After hearing Jiang Zhao's betting topic, Si Mubai was even more puzzled. He could understand the topic of An Guo, but he was very puzzled by the topic of persuasion.

Jiang Zhao saw his doubts and explained: "The Tianyu Dynasty had countless candidates who participated in the imperial examination over the years, and there were endless numbers of champions in each session, but the quality of the articles was not as good as each year. .”

Si Mubai nodded. Although Jiang Zhao's analysis was reasonable, he still insisted on his bet in his heart.

After all, Jiang Zhao's bet is too unpopular, and the chance of winning is extremely low.

The three of them had finished their breakfast, and it was almost Mao time.

"In half an hour, when the examination will start, we should hurry to the Gongyuan, so as not to delay the time." Si Mubai suggested.

Jiang Zhao originally thought that there was still half an hour left. The Nanli Inn was very close to the Gongyuan. It was more than enough to walk for 10 minutes, and he could still eat two more bites, so he reached out to grab another meat bun.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiang lifted the collar and walked away before the white and tender short hand touched the big meat bun.

On the other side, Si Mubai and his book boy also got up.

On the way, Jiang Zhao was still thinking about her big meat bun, and Wei Xiang picked her up before she was full.

Si Mubai at the side watched her walking like this, shook his head and smiled slightly, and stretched out his slender, white hand in front of Jiang Zhao, on which stood a big white and fat meat bun.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Eat."

Jiang Zhao looked at Si Mubai in astonishment. She never expected that such a handsome young man would carry a big meat bag with him.

Seeing that Jiang Zhao didn't move for a long time, Si Mubai gestured with his eyes, and then Jiang Zhao took the meat bun in his hand and started to chew.

Standing behind them, Wei Xiang watched this scene expressionlessly, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After walking for about half an hour, a group of people came to the gate of the Gongyuan.

The gate of the Gongyuan has been completely surrounded.
