Zhang Jing helped Lin Yanchao a lot, but now it is time to repay favors. Of course, if he was Wang Xijue, Chen Li could refuse Zhang Jing with righteousness, but he was not.

Lin Yanchao changed his mind and remembered what Lin Feng said to him when he left Beijing, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

He told Lin Yanchao that you are also from a poor family. Now that you have crossed this bridge, you should help more people cross it. However, Lin Feng was originally appointed as an official, but because he heard that Lin Tingji was seriously ill, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Fujian.

There are so many people in the world who are pursuing their abilities, but there are also people like their teachers who disdain for this.

Lin Yanchao opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky and fell into deep thought.

The next day the exam will start.

For the examiner Lin Yanchao, he can sleep until early the next day. But for the candidates, they will arrive at the examination room on the fourth day, and then they will undergo extremely rigorous inspections.

The candidates will be stripped naked and all carry supplies will be carefully inspected.

Therefore, I could have entered the exam early in the morning, but to prevent candidates from cheating, five or six thousand candidates arrived at the exam room at the fourth day and searched the dragon gate one by one, and it would be good if the exam was opened before the time was completed.

Of course, the purpose of the search is to be fair and fair, but some people want to undermine the so-called fairness and justice for their own selfishness.

When Lin Yanchao walked to the court, Wang Xijue was already here.

There is a seat in the court, facing the examination room. At this time, the day is short and the night is long. When Lin Yanchao arrived from the inner curtain to the court, it was not yet dawn, and the candidates were still preparing to enter the venue.

So Lin Yanchao came not too late, but Wang Xijue was wearing the big red python robe of the cabinet minister and sat on the seat in high spirits. It was obvious that he had been here for a long time.

Lin Yanchao said: "I don't know that the middle hall is here, and the students are one step late."

Wang Xijue waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm old, so I got up early."

After saying that, Wang Xijue looked up and down at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Zong Hai seemed to have not slept well last night, but are you worried?"

Lin Yanchao's heart moved. He held the note that Zhang Jing gave him in his sleeve. If he handed the note to Wang Xijue here, then everything would be...

"Students...the students were worried about today's big exam, and they were afraid that there would be any changes in the exam room and let His Majesty down, so they didn't have a good rest last night."

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Zong Hai's first time Hengwen is bound to have such concerns, but as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't need to worry too much."

I don’t know why Lin Yanchao’s thoughts are a little bit like Lin Yanchao’s thoughts.

Lin Yanchao bowed and said, "Student, thank you Zhongtang for your tips."

Lin Yanchao is sitting in the public seat.

When we reach the court, we face the entire examination room, and the examination alley with white walls and white walls are laid out row by row to the distance.

Located in the center of the examination room south of Zhigongtang is a three-story building, which is Mingyuan Building.

Mingyuan Tower is connected to Zhigongtang. The meaning of Mingyuan Tower is derived from a sentence from a university, "Be careful in the end and pursue the distance, and the virtue of the brightness will be strong."

There are doors on the bottom of the three-story building, while there are windows on the second and third floors. All examination sheds face the Mingyuan Building from north to south. Therefore, any test student standing on the Mingyuan Building can be seen in his eyes.

The supervision and inspection of the outer curtain officer is recommended. After the examination starts, the inspectors will patrol the Mingyuan Building and can also issue orders to the candidates, raise the flag during the day and light the lights at night.

Three days before the exam, the Ministry of Rites invited monks and Taoists to set up an altar on Mingyuan Tower for three days and nights. Some officers and soldiers shook flags and shouted, "Give gratitude and revenge."

This move is very metaphysical, and it also reminds the candidates to do good deeds and accumulate virtues on weekdays, otherwise there will be karma and retribution in the examination room.

Lin Yanchao looked at the examination room and felt deeply moved. Six years ago, he also took an exam in these thousands of examination rooms.

At that time, some of the examination houses were made of wood shingles, but now they have been replaced with bricks and stones. So the examination house where the mountains and forests were taken together with me had already been demolished today.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao felt melancholy.

As the cannon fired, the candidates entered the venue.

The supervisors also climbed to Mingyuan Tower one after another, while Wang Xijue and Lin Yanchao only need to sit down. All the test questions drafted yesterday had been printed long ago and were issued immediately after the candidates entered the venue.

In front of the gantry.

Sun Chengzong, Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli, Yang Daobin, Yuan Zongdao, Lin Xin, Chen Yinglong, Chen Yiyu, and Lin Jiheng.

Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli and Hou Zhigong were on the side. He was Lin Yanchao’s disciple in Guide and just passed the Henan provincial examination this year.

There are other Lin students such as Yu Shilian, Zhou Rudi, Dong Maoce, Huang Hui, etc. Some of them are Lin Yanchao's disciples, some are Tao Wangling and Guo Zhengyu's fellow villagers.

Lin Yanchao was busy with official duties and could not teach his disciples in person, so many students were taught by Tao Wangling on behalf of him. Therefore, Tao Wangling's status in the School of Mechanics is equivalent to a professor, just like Wang Ji and Qian Hongdede's status in Wang Xue.

In addition to Tao Wangling, Guo Zhengyu was the same as Lin Xue. After Lin Yanchao left, the disciples who were Lin Xue stayed in Beijing were all professors on behalf of Guo Zhengyu.

At present, they gathered in front of the gantry, with a serious expression, looking at the long row of candidates.

"A ten years of hard work is here." One person clenched his fists.

"Only go to the Golden List to be named and shine on our ancestors!"

"The hard work of heaven will never fail."

Someone also looked at Tao Wangling and said to himself: "I'd better have Brother Tao's talent!"

"Yes, this time he will be taking the exam."

"He has been under the wall of Mr.'s door for the longest time and has the best knowledge."

"Don't say that, don't underestimate yourself."

“That’s right, everyone has a chance.”

Tao Wangling looked at Tongyun in the sky and turned around and hugged everyone, then said, "Tao here wishes you all to the golden list soon, and not to let down what you have learned, nor to weaken the reputation of our Linxue."

Everyone laughed and said, "That's right."

"I wish to join Brother Tao in the Golden Palace!"

“That’s right.”

The long line moved slowly.

And in Chongwenmen Inn.

The shopkeeper said to Sun Chengzong: "Mr. Sun is sorry, he has finished calling the car. I guess you are going to the tribute court by yourself?"

"What?" Sun Daqi was angry. Why did other juren have cars but he didn't have cars?

The shopkeeper was also a little embarrassed because he was originally a car with two candidates, but in the last car, the chef was unwilling to ride with others, so he gave the shopkeeper three times the money and left by himself.

This led to Sun Chengzong not having a car seat.

Looking at the heavy examination boxes, did Sun Chengzong ask him to walk from Chongwenmen to the Gongyuan with both hands?

A hint of anger appeared on Sun Chengzong's face, and just as he was about to wait for a carriage to park in front of the inn.

Sun Daqi almost cried with joy. At this time, there was a person walking down the carriage. This person was either someone else or Zhan Ming from Lin's mansion.

Zhan Ming got off the carriage and bowed to Sun Chengzong, "Mr. Sun has made you wait for a long time!"

Sun Chengzong smiled when he heard this.
Chapter completed!
