It was pitch black outside the window, but candles had been lit in the room.

Wei Guangde had been woken up by his mother, and it was still only the hour of Mao, and it might be about five or six o'clock in the morning of the next generation.

It was still early at dawn, but Wei Guangde had to get up and wash, eat breakfast, and prepare to go out to the county government to take the exam for this subject.

While he was having a meal, Wei's mother, uncle and aunt sat on the side and watched him eat quietly, without saying anything encouraged. She had said what she should have said long ago. When they talked about it at this time, they were afraid of adding pressure to Xiao Wei Guangde.

When Wei Guangde went out with his mother's prepared test basket, the sky was still dark and there was no light, but the day that determined Wei Guangde's fate in the Ming Dynasty had already begun.

My uncle's family was not far from the county government, but my uncle Wu Zhankui still prepared a carriage for him to carry on.

As we get closer and closer to the county yamen, the number of scholars gathering on the roadside continues to increase. There is still a distance away from the yamen, and the carriages can no longer move.

In fact, at this time, there were several carriages parked by the roadside, all of which were frames for the county gentry to send their children to their children. It was because they could not enter and could only park on both sides of the road.

Wu Zhankui got out of the car first, and then Wei Guangde took the exam basket before getting out, and squeezed forward with his uncle.

The two servants were leading the way in front and quickly squeezed away the candidates in front. Even if someone looked back at them unhappily, Wei Guangde didn't care much. He didn't see that there were two groups of people in front who were similar to them. Are they all strong servants in front and who were pushing away the candidates in front and squeezing away the candidates in front?

I soon arrived in front of the county government gate. At this time, there were several groups of people standing there. In addition to the candidates, there were also a few people dressed up in the housekeepers.

Wei Guangde found an open space to wait. The servants blocked the others outside and prevented them from approaching Wei Guangde. Uncle Wu Zhankui was also next to him, but it seemed that he saw an acquaintance and kept bowing to the groups of people, and someone on the other side also gave him a gift.

Although my uncle is an official, he is just a military officer after all. In this era of noble and lowly martial arts, his uncle often had to bend down a little outside.

This is why my uncle is busy with his own family just like his own for taking the exam. I sincerely hope that Wei Guangde can get the exam.

Not to mention Jinshi, even if he is a Juren, Wu Zhankui could stand up in Pengze County without fear of any force in the county.

As the door opened, a team of yamen runners stood up and blocked the candidates' way. They had to search and pick up before entering the examination room before entering the examination room and found their own position according to the examination number issued when registering for the examination.

Pengze County is considered a county. Although it cannot be compared with some major counties, it is also better than most county towns in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the tables and chairs used for the exam can be prepared early, and the candidates do not need to bring them themselves.

After starting the search and picking up, my uncle Wu Zhankui just sent Wei Guangde to the door and slowly retreated, but this was enough for the search and picking up the yamen runners to see it.

The search and pick-up of Wei Guangde was very fast, at least to Wei Guangde's opinion, so he just took a quick look at his basket and let him in. At the same time, there were a few people who were standing near the gate like Wei Guangde.

As for whether the yamen runners in front of the door will search for the remaining candidates like this, it is not something Wei Guangde needs to pay attention to. What does it have to do with him? Anyway, he has not been sucked in, and even if he searches carefully, he is not afraid.

After entering the door, Wei Guangde was called by a minor official behind the door, looked at the admission ticket in his hand, and then took him to an open space next to him. He whispered to him for a while before leaving.

At this time, Wei Guangde also noticed that the front corridor was filled with test tables, and there was a paper lantern hanging next to each test table. Naturally, there was a test number on it, so that candidates could find their place faster.

However, Wei Guangde already knew where his seat was, just under the eaves of the lobby.

Although the county examination is a common examination in the local area, there is no special construction of examination rooms and examination sheds. It is often just a large open space in the county government or around to take the exam.

The exams in Pengze County were all taken in the open space in front of the lobby of the county government because they were large enough.

It would be nothing if the weather was good. If it was windy and rainy, the candidates in the open space would be miserable.

In February, the county test may only be the southernmost part of the empire. It does not exist for most of the empire's territory. In fact, it is just a fear of rainy days.

It's not bad under the eaves, although it's obvious that the weather is beautiful today, it won't rain.

It was already dawning.

Wei Guangde stood for a long time, and behind him was already full of people, and he was almost crowded to the gate. At this time, the roll call began.

However, before the roll call, Tangxianzun, who had been heard of the famous name for a long time, appeared in an official robe, which caused some commotion among the waiting students.

Tang County Zun just encouraged the candidates standing outside, then turned around and returned to the lobby.

He didn't say much, but Wei Guangde also heard it clearly. After all, he stood in front and had five exams in the county.

In fact, the county examination in the Ming Dynasty was very selective, and the magistrate chose it himself. Four exams were also possible, and five exams were completed.

Wei Guangde did not have too many ideas on the exams, so he would do whatever he wanted.

As Tang County Zun left, officials began to call out names. All candidates who were called had to stand up. They usually called five people's names and let them enter the lobby together.

Wei Guangde probably called this based on the mutual protection relationship. After all, the five people protect each other and meet each other. If there is a gunman, they can be discovered. Once they find out, they will be unlucky after being found out and they will be caught in the future.

Before several teams were asked to enter, Wei Guangde heard his name.

Although Wei Guangde may have registered for the last exam, his uncle's relationship was there. Wei Guangde didn't know that his uncle also used the money, so Wu Zhankui naturally wouldn't say it.

Many things, human favors are human favors, and what should be expressed should be expressed.

"Madang Town Wei Guangde, Lin Tianti, Liu Shizhen..."

Hearing the name, Wei Guangde walked forward a few steps before entering the venue. Then four people soon stood up behind him, all of whom were classmates for many years. After seeing them coming out, Wei Guangde bent down slightly and bowed to the salute. Then the few people made the same move.

"You five protect each other, can you have something to say now?"

The official who was singing the title asked to them, and in fact, this was something that I had repeated several times before, and there was no problem in confirming the identity of the person who was protecting each other.

There is no problem, and if you find it later, there will naturally be no room for explanation.

When asked by the officials, the five of them bent down and bowed, saying, "No."

"You guys go in."
