At dusk, Zhao Hao, Wang Xijue and others were already waiting at the gate of Shuntian Imperial Examination Hall.

Fortunately, they arrived early. As soon as the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened, Zhao Hao's five disciples were the first to come out together.

"Master!" As soon as he saw Zhao Hao, the eldest senior brother dropped his examination box, ran over happily, and said flatteringly, "It's so cold, and Master came to pick me up in person. We, the useless disciples, really can't afford this."

Seeing that the eldest brother had taken the lead again, the four younger brothers had to hurry up and step forward to salute the master.

Zhao Hao nodded with a smile, without even asking how they did in the exam.

He was still very confident in the level of these five top students. It didn't make sense that they would work hard every day and still perform worse than before...

But Wu Shilai's words were like a huge stone pressing on his heart. He was always worried that Li Chunfang would interfere and suppress his beloved disciple.

This made Zhao Hao feel a little sorry for Yang Yang and others. He took them in as his apprentice and ended up getting them into trouble. This was not the behavior of a teacher.

Therefore, Mr. Zhao spoke very little today and was very cool.

There's no way around it, young men always imitate their idols unconsciously.

While waiting for Mr. Zhao Er to come out, Yu Shensi took the examination box from his brother and asked in a low voice, "How did the fourth brother do on the exam?"

Yu Shenxing said to his elder brother: "Junior brother, I can only say that I probably did not make any mistakes. As for the results, just accept them calmly."

Wang Xijue also came over and asked his brother with a shameless face: "How did you do in the exam?"

"You ask." Wang Dingjue snorted and said stubbornly, "I don't believe there is anyone better than me."

"Haha, then I'm relieved." Wang Xijue breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had always been worried that his brother would be obsessed with science and delay his path to the imperial examination.

But he didn't think about it, he was obsessed with cooking, but he also got the first place in the exam, didn't he?

~~

Zhao Hao and the others waited and waited.

When it got dark, the servants lit lanterns and most of the candidates had left the examination hall, but there was still no sign of Master Zhao.

This made Mr. Zhao a little worried, so he asked, "How difficult is this subject?"

"Simple." The disciples said in unison:

"It's too easy. I prepared for so long in vain."

"Yes, Master. The examination is going to have a lot of difficult questions. It will be hard to make a big difference this way."

"I slept all day."

"Uh..." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and thought to himself that I asked the wrong person.

Just then, Wang Yongji came out. Zhao Hao thought to himself that he had finally met an ordinary person. He asked with a smile, "Brother Mingshou, what are the questions for this exam?"

"Oh, you are the young master." Wang Yongji respected the people Hai Rui respected very much, but it was a pity that he did not understand Geometry. He clasped his fists in return and replied:

"The questions in the Four Books are all correct, but the four questions in the Book of Rites are a bit off. I am stupid and I struggled to finish answering them, so I am only coming out now."

He shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid I'll fail again in this exam."

"No way, Brother Mingshou will definitely pass this exam." Zhao Hao asserted with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind words." Wang Yongji just thought he was comforting himself.

The eldest disciple and the second disciple's eyes widened, and they screamed in their hearts - it's coming, the master's great prophecy is coming again!

They have always felt that the most mysterious thing about their master is not his endless scientific knowledge, but his ability to make predictions that are almost infallible.

That means whoever is pregnant is pregnant, and whoever is a spendthrift is bankrupt.

But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they still couldn't figure out the scientific reasoning behind this...

Until their death, they still did not know that the great prophecy was actually the least scientific of all sciences.

~~

Tang Hezheng, Shi Jinchen and other Yingtian candidates also came out and joined the army waiting for Zhao Shouzheng.

But after waiting and waiting, there were only a few candidates who came out, but there was still no sign of Big Brother.

"Is anything going to happen?" Everyone couldn't help but whisper in worry, and couldn't help but want to go in and check.

But the examination hall was a strategic place, so how could they be allowed to come and go as they pleased? Naturally, they were chased out by the garrison.

~~

Not far away, on the second floor of Gongyuanqian Street.

The eldest princess stood at the window, looking anxiously at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, which was brightly lit by torches.

"Why hasn't Zhao Lang come out yet?" She stamped her feet anxiously and said, "Is he sick or has he been bullied?"

"Your Highness, please be patient. Isn't there someone going out?"

Liu Shanggong comforted the princess, but she was very happy in her heart. If you fail the imperial examination, you can go home and live for another three years...

"Well, I've thought it through. It doesn't matter if Zhao Lang is not good enough. This way he can spend more time with me." But the eldest princess made up her mind and said:

"I'll talk to Hao'er later and let him stay in the capital to do business. Then Zhao Lang will naturally have no reason to go back."

"Puff..." Liu Shanggong's eyes went dark. How could she have forgotten about this?

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, and many people shouted, "He's coming out! Big Brother is coming out!"

The eldest princess hurriedly leaned over to the window, leaned forward and looked out, only to see the person she had been thinking about day and night finally slowly walked out of the Examination Hall.

Although he was almost the last one to come out, the eldest princess saw that he was still walking steadily and calmly.

It looks like a mountain and is extremely reliable.

He also saw at least one or two hundred candidates standing in the cold wind for more than half an hour, just waiting for him.

When Zhao Shouzheng bowed to them, the audience said in unison: "Brother, you have worked hard!"

This prestige and charm are simply amazing.

The princess couldn't help but cover her slightly hot face with her hands and murmured, "This is what a man is..."

Liu Shanggong clasped her hands around her neck, trying to see if she could strangle herself to death.

~~

Little did they know that Master Zhao was simply too hungry to walk.

He had originally planned to cry to his son as soon as he came out, but seeing so many people waiting for him, he had to force himself to greet them.

When everyone left, he put his arm around his son's shoulders and said, breathing heavily, "Hurry up and get a sedan chair. I can't walk back."

The eldest disciple hurried over to make arrangements, but was stopped by the master, who said, "Put some food in the sedan chair. I want it hot."

"I'm home in just two steps." Wang Xijue smiled and said, "I'm in the kitchen, cooking sixteen kinds of soup."

"No, I want to eat now." Zhao Shouzheng said, taking the sauced chicken leg that Yu Shenxing found from the examination box, took a big bite and said:

"Damn it, I'm starving! I didn't even have time to get my exam box before I was kicked out..."

When Zhao Shizhen heard this, he thought to himself, thank goodness there is still a spare part that can be used as a spare part.

So I secretly made up my mind to buy three more sets tomorrow, no, four sets, to prepare for my uncle's consumption.

~~

No one asked how Mr. Zhao did in the exam.

Go home and sleep for a day, and re-enter the market on the 12th; then wait until the 14th to come out, and re-enter the market on the 15th.

Of course, I had to check again every time. But the last two checks were much easier, and I didn’t even have to take off my calf pants…

This is because, firstly, the last two sections, 'Discussion and Judgment', test your ability in government affairs, while 'Classics, History, and Current Affairs' test your ability to brag, and you cannot even copy them.

Secondly, these two games are not important. In the 200 years of the Guo Dynasty, I have never heard of anyone who was ranked high because of the last two games.

Otherwise, wouldn't those old scholars who had served as officials have taken all the first and second place? ?

In fact, the examiners had already started marking the papers before the candidates took the second exam.

ps. First update in March, continue to ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets~~~
