Chapter 150： The paper was stolen!

After another farce in the Zhang family, the county exam for the boy test finally arrived as scheduled.

The imperial court attached great importance to the exam for boys. Zhili Xuezheng Su Qing personally visited Yangzhou, and the eight counties of Yangzhou had separate test rooms. The test rooms were heavily guarded. Not only did the county's bureaucrats catch up quickly, but the imperial court's garrison in Yangzhou also sent soldiers to assist. Maintain order.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Lu Zheng went out, his shadow followed closely, carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, and various items necessary for the examination room were placed in the basket.

The two masters and servants just walked to the cross street and couldn't walk. The examinees who came for reference, the parents who came to send the test, and the guarantors who came to guarantee the insurance crowded the streets.

Everyone treats everyone equally and has to line up for strict inspections. Guanshan Academy has long been unrelated to the teachers and students of the academy. It was taken over by the invigilator and the brave government the day before. Today, the Master Xuezheng is in Yangzhou. How dare the people below? Neglect?

However, there are those who want to take the privilege. The people who rushed to the examination room with Lu Zheng were Tian Zepeng, Zhang Tang, Zhang Zhen, Shu Yuan and others.

Today Zhang Chengxi was one of the invigilators. Zhang Tang stepped forward and wanted to jump in the line. The guarded Bingyong directly picked it up, like a chicken.

Wu Fu happened to see this scene and said: "The rules are all set by the court. Whoever dares to violate is against the court. Students who dare to despise the court's laws are invited out of the examination room!"

When Wu Fu said this, Zhang Tang was so scared that his soul was lost.

And it happened that the soldier who threw him turned his head and saw Lu Zheng. He was taken aback for a moment, and said respectfully:

"Master Lu, please come! Come, go here!"

Lu Zheng was originally at the back of the team, but he was taken directly to the forefront by this soldier, and Tian Zepeng couldn't bear it in the crowd.

He stood up and said loudly: "We protest, since the rules are set by the court, why can Lu Zheng break the rules?"

Wu Fu snorted coldly and said, "Has Lu Zheng violated the rules? He has a special status. He is a well-known talent in Xinhe County. Where is the violation of the courtesy?"

"Uh..." Tian Zepeng blushed and was speechless for a moment.

The students in front of the line turned their heads to look at Tian Zepeng, all of them showing contempt.

"What is it, does the surname Tian think he can be different? He is dreaming. How can Lu Gongzi compare to him? He only learns his skills. It is not worthy to give Lu Gongzi shoes!"

"It's not a thing! Don't you just relied on the Zhang family relationship? You really treat yourself as a human being. People who rely on a woman's nepotism will dare to compare with Lu Gongzi?"

A group of people say you, me, everyone's words are not polite, directly causing great harm to Tian Zepeng.

Like him, Zhang Chengxi, who was also an invigilator, was also injured. Zhang Chengxi was proud of it until yesterday. As soon as the test started today, he found that his so-called feeling of complete control of the situation was completely an illusion.

In the examination room, Wu Fu took the main responsibility. He was only assisting Wu Fu in his work, so he couldn't speak anymore. Looking at the inside and outside of the examination room again, none of the officials who arrested Kuai Bingyong was his own. Master Nie avoided suspicion and left Zhang Chengxi speechless.

Now, the children of his Zhang family outside the examination room were so humiliated. Standing next to Wu Fu, he didn't dare to put a fart. You can imagine how badly he was inside.

No matter what, the boy test started. The county test was for three days. The room and board were all in the test room. Yinger handed the basket to Lu Zheng, standing there for a long time and didn't want to leave.

She watched Lu Zheng enter the examination room. At the last moment, Lu Zheng suddenly turned his head and smiled at her. Ying'er was taken aback for a moment, and a blush appeared on his face.

Suddenly she thought in her heart that this time the son must be able to high school. With this idea, she thought of all the things she had experienced since Lu Zheng came to Zhang Family.

Lu Zheng has gone through so many things, and none of them has missed it. This time, the boy test is of great significance to Lu Zheng, so how could he miss it?

In Yinger's mind, Lu Zheng is almost omnipotent. She still remembers that Lu Zheng first learned classics from her, but now Lu Zheng has become a well-known talent in Yangzhou. His poems can be read by three-year-old Yangzhou children. How can Yinger's talents compare with Lu Zheng?

Ying'er stood at the door, watching the students coming in one after another by Lu Lu, her thoughts were flying, and she was lost for a moment.

"Looking at so many students, the son is the most unique. Except for the hostility of the Zhang family to the son, all the other students have great respect for the son. In their hearts, the son is the pride of Xinhe County!"

Ying'er clenched her fists fiercely, and she was extremely confident in her heart!

Today, February 2nd, the dragon raised his head, and the Yangzhou Boy Test was officially opened!

...

When Zhang Chengxi returned to Zhang's house, he was in a bad mood. Madam Su said that the old lady was sick. His heart sank and he immediately thought of what happened the day before yesterday. After such an experience, can the old lady not be sick?

Seeing that her husband was in a bad mood, Mrs. Su cleverly offered tea to Zhang Chengxi and said: "Chengxi, how was the examination room today?"

Zhang Chengxi gently shook his head and said, "Just like that, there is nothing more to say!"

Mrs. Su said: "Actually, Chengxi, all these curses are on the kid surnamed Lu! The old lady's illness is because of him, the brothers in the family are angry because of him, and even your unhappy mood is because of him.

There is a saying that money can make ghosts push, the Zhang family can spend so much money for a boy test, and even a little bit of money can't hold down this kid surnamed Lu? "

Mrs. Su paused and said, "Chengxi, the county test is now an opportunity. You are in the examination room and the other people are brave soldiers. Can't you use your brain?"

"Ah..." Zhang Chengxi was taken aback, and said: "Do you know that fraud in scientific examinations is going to be offended according to the Dakang law?"

Madam Su snorted and said, "Don't say it so scary, let's talk about it, are you cheating? You are just changing a paper, who knows? The parties involved are only two or three people, all of whom have got money. How could anyone know if mediocrity was not recommended to the court?"

Zhang Chengxi got up from the chair at once, all the hairs on his body were erected, Madam Su really awakened the dreamer with a single word!

He and Wu Fu are in charge of the county examination room. He is staring in the examination room. He can replace Lu Zheng's papers as long as he manages one person, and this person is not someone else, but the clerk in the county government, whose name is Ding. Quartet.

Zhang Chengxi happened to know Ding Sifang and knew that his old mother was in bed. In addition to raising his wife and children, he had to pay for the soup and medicine for his mother every month.

It happened that this guy didn't learn well yet, so he was very good at gambling. He already owed nearly a hundred taels of gambling debts. He also occasionally learned about this when he heard chats from the servants below in the county office.

Gamblers have a fluke mentality, and Ding Sifang happens to be short of money, doesn't all this become very simple?

Zhang Chengxi quickly made up his mind and said immediately: "Go, let's go see my mother together!"

The ancestors of the Zhang family have a lofty status. Once the ancestors are sick, the whole family will be uneasy. No, today Hua Hanyun, Madam Gu, Madam Lin and others are all here.

The old lady slept in the warm pavilion, with a cotton towel wrapped around her head, her face was very ugly. Zhang Chengxi and his wife came in to greet her, and the old lady stared at Zhang Chengxi and said:

"Why? You are not in your post, why are you back?"

Zhang Chengxi said: "I heard that my mother was in a state of illness, so I rushed back to take a look. Also, the child has something to report to his mother. The matter is big. The child dare not call the shots without authorization, and the mother needs to decide!"

"Well!"

Mother Zhang nodded slightly, Zhang Chengxi stood up and said: "Okay, no one else is waiting, I will talk to my mother!"

At this moment, Hua Hanyun stepped forward. She was holding a plate in her hand with an urn of ginseng soup on the plate and said: "Old ancestor, even if it is a matter of greatness, you can drink a few mouthfuls of soup first. , Otherwise you won’t get in like this, where are we......"

Hua Hanyun was half talking, seeing the eyes of the ancestor, she was taken aback, and the ancestor waved her hand:

"Han Yun, let it go first, let's go out!"

Everyone went out, and Zhang Chengxi leaned close to Mother Zhang to speak in a low voice. He spoke for a long time, and the eyes of Mother Zhang flickered, and said, "Are you absolutely sure?"

Zhang Chengxi raised his brows and said, "Mother don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter, there will never be a problem!"

Mother Zhang was concentrating for a long time, the brilliance in her eyes became sharper, she nodded and said: "Okay, that's it! Do it now!"

Zhang Chengxi took the order and went to the examination room immediately. It happened that Ding Sifang changed to rest. Zhang Chengxi's shot was one thousand taels of silver. Then the two only talked a few words, and Ding Sifang was completely dealt with by Zhang Chengxi.

At the same time, there was good news from the Zhang family. Mother Zhang was cured. Not only did she start to eat, she also proposed to go outing in the suburbs. She also asked Hua Hanyun to seal Yushan Qingxuguan twenty-two taels. The silver was sent up the mountain.

And at this time in the examination room, Lu Zheng was enduring the unbearable stench in the examination room.

He finally experienced the imperial examination. It was cruel and unbearable. Everyone had a number, and the number was about the size of a train sleeper. You can only eat and drink in this small space.

As long as you leave this small space and look around, it is considered fraud, and the fraud is very strict. As long as fraud is found, it will be disqualified on the spot, and there is a rule that no re-examination is allowed within three years.

Just stay in this small space for three days, and don't even think about washing during these three days, and there are so many candidates, all kinds of food, excrement, and body odors are intertwined and mixed together. The taste is really beyond description in words.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly for Lu Zheng to answer the questions, and the three days were not too long. After enduring them for three days, the county test was over, and the next step was to wait for the list to be released.

The county has tried it, and soon it will be the official test. The official test is presided over by the prefect. After the official test, Tongsheng will be born. According to Dakang’s law, Tongsheng will not kneel when he sees an official, which means he has passed the official test. Only one level can be regarded as a scholar recognized by the state.
