The resistance of the Lingbei County students made Wei Yun a little annoyed, but he did not do anything extraordinary. He clenched his fists, sat upright for a long time, snorted coldly, and pretended that nothing happened.
In his eyes, Su Qi'an was the only one who was a thorn in his side from beginning to end. As for the others, they were just a piece of loose sand.
As long as Su Qi'an is excluded, these people are nothing to worry about.
On the main road controlled by soldiers and government officials, suddenly, a luxury carriage appeared conspicuously.
Occupying the center position, this move made people feel uncomfortable, but no one said anything.
Because the owner of this carriage is Wei Yun of the Wei family. After all, he is from a wealthy family, so it is natural to travel in a pompous manner.
As long as they don't do anything to harm the county examination, these soldiers will basically lose face.
The luxury carriage sped up and headed straight for Su Qi'an in front. The students surrounding him had tense expressions on their faces and pulled Su Qi'an aside.
I was afraid that this rich dude would do something outrageous. Although Su Qi'an had the support of the county magistrate, today was the county examination.
If it was really injured, it might affect the exam.
The carriage accelerated all the way, approaching Su Qi'an. Su Qi'an showed no fear on his face, and his pace did not speed up, and he still maintained a constant speed.
Just when the carriage was less than four or five meters away from Su Qi'an, the horse roared, its front legs were raised high, and then it fell heavily beside Su Qi'an.
Although Su Qi'an was not hurt, the amazing aura exuded by Da Ma would make an ordinary person tremble all over.
Su Qi'an turned his head calmly and looked at Wei Yun in the car. The two looked at each other, neither showing any fear.
After watching for a while, Wei Yun just snorted coldly. The carriage that paused for a while accelerated again and rushed past Su Qi'an. The speed was so fast that a strong wind blew up.
The strong wind blew, and the students beside him felt relieved when they saw this scene, and quickly asked Su Qi'an.
"Brother Su, are you okay?"
"Brother Su, don't pay attention to this dude. As long as we are here, this dude won't dare to cause trouble on such an important occasion."
Su Qi'an nodded and returned the greetings with fists in his hands.
These people were students from poor families like Su Qi'an, and they were not fanatical about Su Qi'an, but they also respected him very much.
This was an overture from a student from the same county, and Su Qi'an would naturally not refuse it, even though he came from a poor family and seemed to have little value.
But Su Qi'an didn't think so. Sometimes, the more control a family like this has, the more great people can emerge from a humble family.
Throughout the past dynasties, there have been many poor families who have risen up. As long as they are properly guided, these people will one day become Su Qi'an's greatest help.
Even if it doesn't work, at least he won't be a villain who stabs him in the back.
Not long after Wei Yunyuan left, Colonel Wang rushed over in a hurry.
The students who gathered around Su Qi'an looked at this scene and quickly walked away with interest.
"Brother Su, we won't bother you. Since you have something to do, we will meet you in the county."
Su Qi'an bowed his hand and bid farewell to these students.
Seeing that Su Qi'an was fine, Captain Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
"Fortunately, my husband is fine. If something happened to my husband, I would be dead."
"This Wei Yun took advantage of our captain's troubles and took advantage of him. He is really damned. He is just a dandy. When he comes to Lingbei County, our captain must teach him a lesson and make him remember."
Su Qian smiled and comforted Colonel Wang, "It's okay, I just wanted to show off my power, but it didn't work out. I'm not doing well."
"Captain Wang, please don't argue with such a dandy. Don't worry, Captain Wang's kindness will be kept in mind by Su. When the county examination is over, Su will definitely have a good word with the county magistrate when he has the opportunity."
Colonel Wang Hengrou had a happy face that he couldn't hide. He liked to deal with smart people like Su Qi'an, and he knew everything.
Su Qi'an's promise just now was not just a show of pretentiousness, but he had the ability to do so.
If nothing else, Su Qi'an's four sentences of "Wang Yue" are enough to conquer Fang Jingzhi. Even if he fails this time, Su Qi'an will be retained or even recommended by Fang Jingzhi.
Some people, once they start to stand out, cannot hide their sharp edges even if they want to.
The road ahead was not far, only about two or three miles, but Lieutenant Wang escorted him the whole way. He was responsible for his duties and closely monitored anyone who came close to Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an felt a little helpless when he saw that level of loyalty.
Fortunately, two quarters of an hour later, Su Qi'an finally arrived at the county examination site.
This time, the location of the seven-county test was chosen in a large open space on the east side of Lingbei County.
This open space can easily accommodate thousands of people and is the best county exam location.
In order to prepare for this seven-county test, Lingbei County spent a lot of money to build a test center wing on the open space to the east more than a month in advance.
Of course, this kind of wing room cannot be compared with the wing rooms of an inn. Each wing room is only a dozen square meters.
The inside is very simple, with only a table, a chair, and a small cubicle for solving physiological problems, and nothing else.
Moreover, this wing has no door, and there is a table in front. Apart from ensuring that it is not exposed to wind and rain, the rest is just for use.
This is not done deliberately to embarrass candidates, but is a tradition in the examination room for many years.
This kind of environment where almost all people are exposed to surveillance can prevent cheating from happening to the greatest extent.
And around the rows of wing rooms rising from the ground, a large number of soldiers wearing black armor surrounded them early.
Next to each wing, there will be regular fortune telling for soldiers. On the high platform at the front are three examiners.
At a glance from the high platform, everything below is in full view. Under such strict surveillance, it is impossible to cheat.
And once cheating is caught, the consequences are enough for everyone to weigh whether it is worth it.
In addition to revoking the person's examination qualifications, he will also be deprived of his honorary status. In serious cases, he will be jailed, and his family may even be implicated.
So things like cheating rarely happen.
Seeing the strictness of the three and outer three floors of the examination room, Su Qi'an sighed.
"No matter in the past dynasties, the imperial examination is indeed the fairest promotion system at present, and it is also the thing that the court attaches most importance to."
"No wonder, as the old saying goes, everything is inferior, only reading is superior."
After sighing for a moment at the scale of the examination center in front of him, Su Qi'an said goodbye to Captain Wang and strode into the examination room in front of him.
After receiving my number plate, led by the yamen servant, I walked through several floors of wing rooms and finally saw my own test center wing.
The location of Su Qi'an's wing is not too far away. On the contrary, it is very conspicuous. It can be said that it is almost in the middle.
No matter where you look from, you can see Su Qian's figure at a glance, and any of his actions will be closely monitored by countless people.
Su Qi'an sat down, glanced briefly, looked a little unnatural, and murmured in a low voice.
"This is really intentional."
Although he was a little helpless, Su Qian quickly adjusted his mentality and began to study ink.
Although there is only one imperial examination in the county examination, it takes one day, and it is normal to take it from day to night.
After all, the amount of knowledge covered in this subject is even greater than the college entrance examination that Su Qi'an took in his previous life.
At a glance, there are seventy or eighty exam papers alone. This is why a simple toilet is arranged in the side room.
If there is news that a living person was suffocated to death by urinating, it will not be laughed at by other counties.
As he sat down and studied ink, Su Qian's thoughts were a little distracted at first, but he gradually entered the state.
Grinding ink may seem troublesome, but it is more helpful in adjusting your mentality.
When you have a better mentality, you will know everything.
The ink tray was dark, Su Qian took a deep breath, picked up the pen and dipped ink in it, and then began to answer the questions.
There is a lot of content in the county examination, including the Four Books and Five Classics, Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan, Book of Rites and many other sage philosophies.
This is not the most difficult part. The difficult part is later. From the beginning, you will be asked to memorize the basics silently, and then to answer questions based on specific things and quoting the philosophy of the sages.
These are not difficult tasks. With Su Qi'an's brain, which can be called a child prodigy, and more than ten years of hard study, no sages' books can be difficult for Su Qi'an.
Even if you can't get all the answers, you can at least answer most of the questions.
Six to seven hundred students took written exams at the same time. This spectacular sight is rare.
The breeze blew, and the air was filled with the scent of ink, mixed with the chilling sounds of patrolling soldiers. The combination of the two created a unique beauty.
This kind of thing may be new to students who are just entering the examination room.
But to the three examiners on the high platform, it was all ordinary.
Among the three examiners, except for Wei Yun's uncle, Wei Zhentang, in the middle, there were two white-haired old men beside him, who were the most eye-catching.
The two old men looked very old, almost sixty or seventy, with white beards and hair, and wrinkles all over their faces, showing their age.
At this age, it is time to retire at home and take care of your old age. If you can still come out at this time, you can tell that you are not an ordinary person.
These two old men are really not ordinary people. The one on the left is a famous scholar in Sichuandu County, named Lin Yuanzhi. He is top-notch in terms of reputation and knowledge.
The one on the right looks a little younger, but still in his sixties. His name is Zheng Yanming. He is also a great scholar, but he carries the identity of the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy is the place responsible for the compilation and revision of various books, historical records and other manuscripts in Daliang.
Although the great scholars there are basically not awarded specific official positions and have no grades, it is a holy place for countless Daliang literati.
Because all of them, from the Imperial Master and Grand Master of Daliang, to the Sangong, and to the civil servants of various counties and counties, without exception, either studied in the Hanlin Academy or were taught by great Confucian scholars.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Imperial Academy of Daliang was the teacher of all officials in the dynasty, and it was also the think tank of Daliang.
Being able to enter the Hanlin Academy is the dream of countless literati students.
Any great scholar, even the retired Lin Yuanzhi, would have to be polite when meeting the Sichuan Governor.
Not to mention Zheng Yanming, who is still in office, being able to invite two great scholars to serve as invigilators for a county examination is enough to show that Sichuandu County attaches great importance to this imperial examination.
It also gave Lingbei County enough face.
After all, in the past, for a county examination of this scale, at most one great scholar would be dispatched, which would be considered a top priority.
Two people came here, and there was one who was working. Outsiders looked more respectable, but Fang Jingzhi, who was sitting in the yamen, couldn't be happy.
