In the afternoon, everyone walked into another examination room and began to take the archery test.
Hundreds of children with different expressions stood in the examination room and received bows and arrows from the examiner.
Lu Changsheng knew that bows and arrows were also about the feel, so after receiving the bow and arrows, he stood aside and kept pulling and releasing the bowstring.
After looking around, I suddenly had an idea in my mind.
Of these hundreds of children, I'm afraid not many can pass the archery test.
Because many people even draw their bows in a very awkward posture, so if they can hit the target, it's just bad luck.
"Zhang Heng, Ma Li..."
As soon as I tried it, the examiner read the names one by one.
At first, Lu Changsheng didn't pay much attention, until he saw those nobles and old gods standing on the ground, and someone specially sent them bows and arrows, he suddenly felt something bad.
"Can these nobles still use exclusive bows and arrows?"
Using customary weapons is naturally of great benefit to this kind of assessment.
As time went by, soon it was Lu Changsheng's turn.
He walked to his seat and began to demonstrate his shooting skills.
The first is the 'white arrow' in archery. After the arrow passes through the target, the arrowhead turns white.
Lu Changsheng's arrow hit the target, and the arrow that penetrated was stained with a layer of white powder.
The professors, instructors, mountain masters, and some nobles in the Black Mountain Mansion who were sitting next to them all showed a hint of surprise.
"Look at this person's performance, he is outstanding in archery!" the mountain master of Jixia Academy said in surprise.
He had no impression of Lu Changsheng, so he concluded that Lu Changsheng was not a nobleman, or even a child worthy of attention.
Most of these children were from wild backgrounds and had no one to support them. Before the news spread that archery was admitted to the imperial examination, they would definitely not take up archery as well. Unexpectedly, they looked away.
"This man's name is Lu Changsheng, and he is a student from the previous class!" Professor Qu on the side said quickly when he saw the mountain master's gaze.
The professor is the teacher of Jixia Academy, and can also be called the master. The daily teaching basically falls on them.
Since he is a child, there is no reason why he should not know.
After hearing the explanation, the mountain master nodded, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Even those rich and powerful people only had a discussion.
For people at their level, good archery skills can only be said to be a small advantage, and they can find a few of them in their homes.
On the other hand, Lu Changsheng performed extremely well in the following test points, Sanlian, Yanzhu, Xiangchi, and Jingyi, which made them look moved.
"I'm afraid this man's archery skills have reached perfection!"
"Brother Gao, is there anyone interested?"
"Although we already have a master in archery, it's hard to hire him too many times as a Zhenqi warrior. It's okay to recruit another one!" the head of the Gao family said with a smile.
"Haha, then I won't argue with you. This man is young, has great archery skills, and is not a martial artist. He is easy to handle!" the head of the Xun family said with a smile.
Seeing Lu Changsheng coming down from the examination room, the head of the Gao family sent someone over to invite him. However, what surprised him was that he was rejected by Lu Changsheng.
"It seems that young people are easily arrogant when they have some abilities!"
When several nobles heard this, they shook their heads and smiled.
Since they were in high positions, they wouldn't get angry because of a small person's rejection. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules.
······
"Although the Gao family is good, the price offered is still too low!" On the other side, Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed.
The visitor from the Gao family looked like he was giving alms, which made him very unhappy. In the past, the Gao family would have just become a servant with some unique skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind embracing the Gao family.
"You're just a child, your heels are too weak!"
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, looking back at the dignitaries and officials sitting tall in the examination room, and just said: I hope there won't be any accidents!
Now that archery is over, this year's Juren Examination has come to an end, and we need to wait until the end of the month before the results will be released.
There's no point in being anxious.
After going out, I felt a little warm in my heart when I saw Li Gugua waiting outside.
"Here, here's the soup for you!"
Li Guanggu handed over the prepared chicken soup.
When Lu Changsheng took it, he could still feel a faint warmth and drank it.
The girl smiled slightly, her eyes like two crescent moons.
After the examination was over, Lu Changsheng felt relieved. He returned to the courtyard and began to study martial arts.
He has a good idea of the questions for this year's imperial examination. Judging from the results of previous examinations, he can't say that he can win the first place this year, but he will definitely not be able to make it to the top ten.
Six years of agreement, no need for six years!
Of course, he doesn't plan to reveal it until the day when the results are released.
After learning that Lu Changsheng's exam was over, Wang Heihou, Zhao Hu and others rushed over to ask about the situation. However, Lu Changsheng prevaricated them and just said that everything would be known when the results were released.
Seeing his "unconfident" look, although Liang Yun, Zhao Hu and others were mentally prepared, they were still a little disappointed.
"It's okay. It won't work this year. We'll come back in three years. If it doesn't work in three years, it won't work in another three years! You're still young, so don't be afraid!" Liang Yun said.
Lu Changsheng was a little moved in his heart. He knew that he would be fine if he waited for a few more three years. People like Liang Yun, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Fan probably wouldn't be able to survive. After two or three years, they had passed the stage where they had sufficient energy in their lives. In the future, , it must be much more difficult.
"Don't forget the six-year agreement! Don't worry, Uncle Liang and Uncle Zhao Fan!" Lu Changsheng said solemnly.
······
Two days later, Lu Changsheng was practicing the four-sided sword technique when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Before he could stop, Li Gugua was already trotting over.
"What do you want?" There was a stranger standing outside the door. Judging from his clothes, he looked like a servant from a wealthy family.
The servant obviously knew the status of the family in front of him, and he said respectfully: "My young master has been pregnant with a child, and I would like to invite your master to come to the banquet!"
With that said, he took out an invitation card.
master?
When Li Guanggu heard this title, he thought of Lu Changsheng with white hair and a shy drunk belly. He suddenly smiled and turned back to the yard. By some strange combination, he treated Lu Changsheng with a learned maid courtesy. .
"Master Lu~"
Lu Changsheng, who was about to put away the knife, stumbled and almost inserted the knife into his hand.
"Don't make trouble!"
Li Guanggu was also startled, his face flushed, and he cursed himself for his bad idea, which almost caused Chang Sheng to be injured, with a worried look on his face.
"I'm fine. Who sent the invitation just now?"
"I do not know!"
As he spoke, Lu Changsheng took the invitation and unfolded it -
"Master Chen invites you!"
"It's the Chen family!" Lu Changsheng said softly.
"Is there any danger?" Li Guangquan knew that Lu Changsheng and Chen Fuzi were not dealing with each other, so he asked worriedly.
Lu Changsheng smiled and said: "The danger is not high. If he wants to take my life because of what happened before, then Master Chen will not be able to get along!"
"Do you want to go there, Changsheng?"
"Come over there!" Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said.
