The Prosperous Era of Longwan

He copied the answer sheet carefully. To be honest, it was still early. It should not have been three o'clock in the afternoon when it was time to apply. After Wei Guangde completed today's exam, he naturally considered whether to hand in the answer sheet.

If you check repeatedly, if it does not exist, if you copy it, there will be no changes, unless you copy the entire paper again. Unlike later generations, the paper or answer sheet can be crossed out or erased.

Glancing at the others, there were actually a few who had submitted their papers at this time, but looking at their appearance after coming out, they all seemed to be dejected. Wei Guangde probably wanted to compete for the top prize, but ended up losing to Tang County Zun. To good.

I re-read what I wrote, and I saw that I didn’t write any wrong words, and it seemed that I had maintained a good standard.

Speaking of the traditional Chinese characters used now, sometimes Wei Guangde accidentally writes the simplified Chinese characters of later generations. There is no way, it is a habit formed over more than ten years, so the first thing Wei Guangde has to do when checking the paper is to see if there are any typos.

As for the paper I made today, if I hand it over to Master Sun with just this word, he will probably be satisfied and nod while stroking his beard.

Wei Guangde didn't want to wait any longer.

He wanted to hand in the paper.

Continuing to sit in the examination room is also a kind of torture for him.

After confirming again and again that he had not written in simplified Chinese, Wei Guangde gritted his teeth and stood up, holding a stack of examination papers in both hands, nodded to a government official who was staring at him in and out, and then walked to the lobby.

Wei Guangde didn't know if Tang County Zun had been sitting here, but he was there at this time. After all, it was afternoon and some candidates had to hand in papers.

However, when Wei Guangde walked in, he saw Tang County Master with his left hand on the case, seemingly dozing off. There was no paper in front of him, and there was a stack of papers lying far away next to him.

Hearing the footsteps, Mr. Tang immediately sat up straight. After Wei Guangde put the paper in front of him, Mr. Tang just nodded.

"You can leave now."

It was a very perfunctory sentence, and it was obvious that he had no good impression of Wei Guangde, a candidate who handed in his papers early.

Wei Guangde originally wanted to stay down there and see what Tang County Master would do when he saw his paper.

I remember reading a novel on the Internet before. After the protagonist traveled through time and completed the answer sheet, the examiner immediately accepted it and shouted "No. 1 Examination Paper".

Okay, even if it’s not so exaggerated, why don’t you just draw a circle on my paper and click on me directly? I am the protagonist from time travel.

Wei Guangde shouted in his heart.

But by this time, he naturally could no longer stay in the hall, and the county official had already allowed him to leave.

A little disappointed.

Wei Guangde turned around and slowly walked out of the lobby step by step, but he kept his ears open to eavesdrop on the sounds behind him. As long as Tang Xianzun made a slight sound, Wei Guangde would immediately turn around and come back.

Unfortunately, until he walked from the examination room to the county government office, he didn't hear any sound from the county magistrate, let alone let him stay to say a few words.

Walking out of the county government gate, Wei Guangde wanted to imitate the plots in the novels he had read. Did he shout "This subject will definitely pass" or some other heroic words at the county government gate. But looking at the scene outside the government office, Wei Guangde consciously Without saying a word, he made a meaningless action.

Damn it, there is no one outside the county government office at this time, who should I tell it to, who can I tell it to?

If I really shouted out, I would probably be regarded as a crazy candidate by the government officials in the door.

But it’s really strange, Wei Guangde thought to himself.

My uncle said he would come to pick him up, but why is there no one outside?

In later generations, people still sent and took exams, so why was it no longer allowed in the Ming Dynasty?

Even the few people who came out earlier were not seen at this moment.

In the past, after the exam, you didn't have to check the answers outside the exam room.

Desolate, cold, desolate.

He stretched his hands to the left and right, made a chest expansion movement, and was about to leave with his hands behind his back. Wei Guangde was stunned when he took back his hands.

Damn it, I forgot the test basket in the exam room.

When Wei Guangde walked a few steps to the door of his house with the test basket, he saw the groom in front of the door arranging the frame of the carriage.

The carriage is still here, so my uncle should still be at home. Why doesn't he pick me up?

Although the examination room is very close to home, we also have cars, so why do we have to rely on our legs?

The driver also saw Wei Guangde, and when he approached, he quickly bowed and saluted, shouting, "I wish you good luck to the young master, and he will definitely be the head of the case."

In fact, it was just a greeting, and the rest was all imagined by Wei Guangde himself.

However, when passing by the coachman, Wei Guangde still saw a little bit of that meaning in his eyes.

Wei Guangde knew that he had seen many people looking at him like this along the way.

Although there were no people at the gate of the county government office, it was in the center of the county town after all, and within a few steps was the downtown area, where people were coming and going.

Maybe if it weren't for today's county examination, there would still be people walking around outside the government office, and street vendors would also be hawking nearby. The income and consumption of the palace residents in the county government are not low, at least in Pengze County.

"Hello uncle, I'm back."

As he approached the door, he saw his uncle standing outside the main door. His mother and aunt were also standing inside the door, apparently planning to go out.

"Mom, aunt, I'm back after finishing the exam."

Wei Guangde immediately walked in carrying the test basket with a smile.

"Is the exam over now? No more checks."

Mrs. Wei Wu was stunned when she saw her son entering the door, and said nonchalantly.

"It's good that the test is over. Today's test questions should be very simple. Guangde is back so early."

Uncle Wu Zhankui was just stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and he said.

"It's quite simple. I've done it in private schools before."

Wei Guangde walked up to them and said.

"Take a walk and go in and tell me, I'm tired after taking the Guangde exam for a day. Take a good rest these two days until the county exam results are released."

The uncle reached out and grabbed the test basket from Wei Guangde's hand and pulled him inside.

Wei Guangde was naturally unwilling to let his uncle take the test basket, but his uncle's movements were too sharp and he snatched the test basket from his hand.

This made Wei Guangde couldn't help but sigh, people in the officialdom are really quick to reach out.

The happy atmosphere was not broken until it was time to rest in the evening.

At this time, his uncle and aunt had already gone back to their room to sleep. Wei's mother followed Wei Guangde to his bedroom door. When Wei Guangde entered the room, he suddenly asked: "Guangde, did you do poorly in this exam? "

Well, Wei Guangde had already felt it before. His mother and uncle seemed to be trying to force a smile.

After all, for such a young person, when taking the county examination, I never saw the white-haired candidates carrying examination baskets and being supported by their sons or grandsons into the examination room every year.

Wei Guangde also picked it up before and said that he was seeking truth from facts. The test questions this time were really not difficult.

It's a pity that no one believes it.

At this time, Mother Wei finally asked.
