Chapter 109 Tribute Court Examination Room

Sansheng Temple.

Wang Yuan packed his bags, and before leaving, he naturally did not forget this place of sages.

Since he passed by the Temple of the Three Sages, Wang Yuan felt that it was natural to pay homage to one or two saints.

The Sansheng Temple in front of me is not comparable to the century-old temple that Wang Yuan once visited in Qizhu Mountain, and it is even more incomparable to the Temple of the Three Emperors that I glimpsed in Xingyang.

In these ten miles and eight townships, the well-known Sansheng Temple is just a few dilapidated temples.

There is also a shabby miaozhu who takes care of this small temple.

Wang Yuan walked into the Sansheng Temple.

Miao Zhu hurriedly came forward to greet him, and handed over some incense sticks, and tried to say a few words, saying that offering sacrifices to the Three Saints would be beneficial to the imperial examination, but Wang Yuan waved his hand to stop him.

Huangdi, Yandi, and Cangjie were all sages of Huoyun Cave. How could Wang Yuan come to pray to God and worship Buddha just for the mere imperial examination.

Of course, it must be great if these bigwigs are willing to help...

After offering incense, Wang Yuan casually took out an ingot of silver and threw it to Miao Zhu.

"Take good care of this small temple!"

"Thank you Wang Langjun!"

Seeing this look, Miao Zhu was a little happy. Although the Sansheng Temple has always been a bit incensed, there are not many people who are as generous as the little man in front of him.

It's just that the three sticks of incense were lit, and the temple wisher didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that the three golden bodies were faintly revealing purple cloud light.

Wang Yuan also saw the cloud of fragrance lingering around the three golden seats.

The other gods here often show their holiness, and Wang Yuan is not surprised that the three sages can breathe out incense and clouds.

Especially Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, Wang Yuan had also met the general who claimed to be ordered by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and had other missions.

Wang Yuan turned and left. On the road above the official road, Wang Yuan saw many villagers from Yangjia Village.

Yang Fa, Yang Erye, and some villagers of Yangjia Village.

These villagers are all smiling, and they are still carrying a lot of things in their hands.

Seeing Wang Yuan, he hurried forward!

Knowing that Wang Yuan was finally going to set foot on the capital to take the exam, these villagers spontaneously came to see him off.

Wang Yuan has lived in Yangjia Village for more than three months. Although he has not done many good things in the village, he is kind and willing to help some villagers, which makes many villagers feel very cordial!

This kind of down-to-earth performance is more friendly than other Juren who don't touch Yang Chunshui!

They came to see him off, not because they wanted to have a relationship with this master Juren, but just to see off a relative or friend in the village!

Seeing this, Wang Yuan naturally sighed a little.

Although these villagers sometimes care about everything, they are very kind in nature.

Compared with those dignitaries, Wang Yuan is sometimes more willing to deal with these villagers.

At this time, Wang Yuan noticed that Yang Shicheng was in the crowd, this half-child, at this time sneakily appeared behind many villagers.

"Brother Wang, come here!"

Seeing Wang Yuan's gaze, Yang Shicheng walked under a big tree and waved quietly.

Naturally, some villagers couldn't help smiling kindly when they saw the evasive Yang Shicheng.

In Yangjiacun, this Wang Langjun is indeed very popular, including those half-children.

Not to mention that this gentleman also learned carpentry from Carpenter Yang.

"Shicheng, what do you want to say?"

Wang Yuan walked over, he saw that Yang Shicheng seemed to have something to say!

Seeing Wang Yuan's arrival, Yang Shicheng pulled Wang Yuan, and the boy nimbly stuffed a yellow talisman into Wang Yuan's sleeve, looking at Wang Yuan with treacherous eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Brother Wang, my sister asked me to give you this wishful talisman. This is a talisman that my sister obtained for you in the Yuxian Temple. I hope you will win the gold list!"

Holding the talisman with no magic power in his sleeve, the smile on Wang Yuan's face shrank slightly.

How could he not understand Yang Xiugu's affection for him.

Beauty is very affectionate, but he doesn't feel anything.

Wang Yuan will not easily accept a woman who has no love between a man and a woman, such feelings are not necessary.

But such a direct refusal might cut off Yang Xiugu's life.

Wang Yuan didn't want to hurt a young girl so honestly.

"Shicheng, tell your elder sister that Wang Langjun thanked her for her blessings, and I checked for her. Her marriage is still in the dark! Remember clearly?!"

"Okay, Brother Wang, I remember clearly!"

Yang Shicheng nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

Looking at Wang Yuan with bright eyes, he smiled and walked away bouncing around!

Wang Yuan looked at Yang Shicheng's leaving figure.

It is not intentional to go down the beach under the flowing water, but it is unintentional for the white clouds to come out of Xiu!

He didn't think he would offend Peach Blossom, Wang Yuan wondered if he should change his appearance and make himself ugly when he travels in the future, otherwise his luck would turn into Peach Blossom, which would be a disaster.

As for Yang Xiugu's marriage, Wang Yuan was not very worried.

If the Qin family can keep the mahogany gossip mirror in their hands, Liu Xinzhai's future will naturally be safe and sound.

But now it seems that no matter how aggressive the Qin family is, it can't stop the men and women in the entire Yangjia Village.

Without the mahogany gossip mirror, sooner or later that monster will come to the door.

Unless Liu Xinzhai can win a Jinshi in one fell swoop and enter the Confucian Temple before then, he will be granted a literary spirit.

Otherwise, he might not be able to marry Yang Xiugu.

After bidding farewell to the many villagers of Yangjia Village, Wang Yuan came straight to the capital from the official road.

...

Yang Xiugu was not far from the entrance of Yangjiacun at the moment, watching Wang Yuan's long journey from a distance, with a slightly melancholy expression on her face.

This time farewell, I don't know if we can see each other again!

Wang Yuan and Wang Langjun in front of him are worthy of respect no matter in terms of appearance or character.

At this moment, Yang Xiugu saw Yang Shicheng coming from the rocky path, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Sister, Brother Wang accepted your wishful talisman, and said that sister should not be pessimistic, he has seen it for you, and there will always be bright days in the future!"

"The willows are dark and the flowers are bright..."

Yang Xiugu's pale face was slightly flushed, probably because of some comfort in her eyes, but her eyes no longer had the vitality of her youth, and her figure seemed to be much heavier.

Looking at Wang Yuan's disappearing figure, there was a dead silence on her body!

...

Wang Yuan's speed was not slow, because it was less than two days before the examination of the Ministry of Rites began on February 19th.

At this time, as the invigilator at all levels, the examiners who graded the papers must have already arrived in the Gong Yuan.

In order to avoid leaking the test papers, the government will assign a group of officials to enter the Tribute Court early at this time of year, and stay in the Tribute Court from late January for half a month until the Ministry of Rites Examination begins.

This is to prevent fraudulent tandems. The invigilators who have been exposed to the test papers first will be placed under house arrest for half a month.

...

On the outskirts of the capital, far away from the official road, there is another small stream, with cobblestones piled up beside the stream, the clear water gurgling, and the sound of camel bells in the distance. On the official road, there is a long caravan of camels. The heavy living things came towards the market outside the suburbs of Beijing.

From a distance, the donkeys and skinny horses were already overwhelmed. The packers behind them drove these horses skillfully, at a leisurely pace. It seemed that they were going to pass the bridge at the corner, pass through the street market, and enter the capital directly.

"The capital is too prosperous!"

Wang Yuan also led a horse, walked out from the crowd of merchants and pedestrians, surrounded by bustling caravan merchants, and passed through this bridge combining commerce and agriculture in an orderly manner.

Not far away is the wharf in the suburbs.

There are boats coming and going, and there are many messy small yards next to it. The dry trees are bare, and you can occasionally see a few bird nests.

Beside, there were still people playing and playing, and someone was taking advantage of the auspicious day to get married and get started.

The bride is sitting on the flower bridge, which is a real flower bridge with brocade flowers. In front is a groom riding a tall horse, behind the groom is a porter carrying the dowry, and there is someone holding the bride's dressing box beside him.

There is also a porter behind him, carrying a load of fish.

Wang Yuan knew that it was the woman's natal family wishing her husband rich and prosperous.

At this time, a light rain suddenly began to fall in the sky, and the light rain was pattering. Wang Yuan saw the porters, cargo owners, and wandering guests on the road fleeing in all directions, or going into the nearby tavern to hide from the rain.

The groom who married the bride did not expect that the heavens were not so beautiful, and it was raining at this time, and he was quite embarrassed, and the porters who carried the gifts behind were also in a hurry.

During the turbulence, Wang Yuan saw the curtains of the bride's flower bridge fluttering, and the bride screamed because she was held up by the porter.

Fortunately, a wharf was built in front, and there are many warehouses on the wharf, as well as places where giant ships are moored to shelter from the rain.

Wang Yuan looked at this scene with a chuckle, he opened an oil umbrella from the book frame behind him, and quietly walked past this place called Hongqiao.

Not long after they came to the city gate, a few lazy soldiers leaned on the city gate, casually checked the road guide issued by Wang Yuan and the identity certificate, and did not make things difficult for Wang Yuan, allowing Wang Yuan to enter smoothly. This bustling giant city.

Wang Yuan glanced at the lazy soldiers and shook his head secretly.

From the soldiers at the gates of the city, Wang Yuan could not see any vigilance and morale belonging to the imperial army.

The city defenses are loose, there are not many guards under the city walls, and there are not many fortifications on the city.

The dynasty is decaying!

This is not what Wang Yuan wants to see. The entire kingdom is immersed in prosperity and prosperity, and they are negligent in guarding against it!

How many years has it been since the founding of the country!

Wang Yuan's expression was a little dark.

It seems that what he has to face in the future may be heavier than he imagined.

...

Wang Yuan stepped into the city wall on the drizzle of autumn rain.

At this time, all the inns in the capital, big and small, were full, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Of course, Wang Yuan didn't need to find an inn by himself. Wang Fu and Wang Xi, who had arrived a month earlier, had already spent a lot of money to find a separate residence for him.

At the same time, I have inquired about everything, where to participate in the entrance examination, how long it will take to take the examination, and what to bring. I have already made sufficient preparations.

...

And just when Wang Yuan set foot in the capital, a group of Hanlin officials in the Gongyuan finally completed the drafting of the examination questions.

After the examination questions were drawn up, the next step was to open the tribute courtyard, allowing the candidates of this department to enter.

To be honest, it was not easy for these officials to be locked up in the simple tribute courtyard in such a cold winter.

How can the clear and cold tribute courtyard compare to the brocade bed and embroidered quilt at home, the beautiful wife and beautiful concubine!

Not to mention eating and drinking in this place where there are leaks everywhere.

...

Guozijian, the examination room for this subject is located in the Guozijian.

Although the procedures of the Ministry of Rites Examination in the current Guo Dynasty are complicated, the establishment of the examination room is rather simple.

In previous years, it was either borrowing Wu Chengwang Temple, or borrowing Guozijian to obtain the site.

The cold wind is cold, the white moon is beautiful, and the branches are frosty. From the third watch to the fourth watch, the Guozijian is already torched like a dragon.

The blazing fire seemed to dispel the chill in the air as well.

Fortunately, the rain has stopped.

Wang Yuan was still wearing a thin robe embroidered with Confucianism, but he was wearing a crane cloak, which was quite warm. This was the standard attire of a wealthy son.

In the crowd under the firelight, there were quite a few people wearing fox furs and wax cloaks at a glance, and there were also young servants busy to and fro inside.

These jurenmian are obviously from rich or noble backgrounds.

There are also some people from poor families who are shivering in the cold wind.

They also had to arrive early.

The ceremonial examinations of the imperial court usually end within a day, unlike later generations, if it takes several days, people will be made lame.

"Young master, are you cold?!"

Wang Xi and Wang Fu were chatting and asking for warmth, and under the intense tension, they had no idea how many times they had asked a single sentence.

Wang Yuan looked dumbfounded at the two personal school boys, they were more nervous than him, who was taking the imperial examination.

At this moment, Wang Yuan's eyes moved, and he saw a familiar figure not far away, and immediately greeted him.

"Brother Li!"

There were two figures there, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw him say hello, one of them said in a low voice.

"It's that pervert surnamed Wang!"

There was an inaudible voice, but Wang Yuan frowned, looking at Li Fu who was whispering with a half-smile.

Those two figures were Li Zhaoting's master and servant.

Also wearing a bun and wearing a jade-like crown, Li Zhaoting led Li Fu and approached.

That group not only included Li Zhaoting's master and servant, Cai Qi who hadn't seen him for a long time, Zhou Gai was also in it, and a dozen or so young Juren who were equally high-spirited.

At this time, on the tall building next to the Imperial College, there were many other figures in the dark night, looking excitedly at the crowds of people below.

Being able to witness so many Juren coming from all directions is also a rare opportunity for many shopkeepers and cargo owners, and they have to go inside for a while.

Every year, some juren always forget to bring their writing and ink, or like to ask for auspicious prizes before entering the Gongyuan!

This is the opportunity!

There are also many ladies who simply come to watch the fun!

Among the current subjects, who is expected to be a Jinshi and who is expected to be a champion, I am afraid that there have been discussions for a long time, and there are even young ladies who look at each other and walk around among the crowd.

"He is Wang Cunhou!"

And on one of the tall buildings, it was extremely quiet, and a graceful and luxurious figure, following the guidance of a beautiful woman, landed on Wang Yuan and a small group of people.

"Yes!" The beautiful woman next to her nodded slightly, and then took half a step back.

This graceful and luxurious figure looked carefully for a moment, then nodded slightly, and then led the beautiful women behind him to leave quietly!

After the beautiful woman left, Wang Yuan glanced at the tall building, but he didn't see any figure.

"Is it her?"
