At this time, the shopkeeper hurried over to greet Zhu Pei, and Zhu Pei waved his hand, "Go and do your business! I don't need you to take care of you."

The shopkeeper asked the friend to serve two more delicious dishes, and then he said goodbye and left.

Zhu Pei looked at the shopkeeper's background and said coldly: "It is said that someone here was provoking trouble yesterday, beat the shopkeeper, and insulted the Zhu family, saying that this was Zhulou Doglou. Do you really think the Zhu family is a face-to-face?"

Fan Ning said lightly: "It's just a prodigal son who is still stinky. What are you scheming with him?"

Zhu Pei glared at Fan Ning with dissatisfaction, and snorted for a while: "Are you afraid of being implicated?"

Fanning shook her head, "If I were afraid of being implicated, I wouldn't have stood up yesterday."

Zhu Pei's eyes at Fanning became softer, and she lowered her head and whispered: "I spoke too much just now, apologize to you!"

Fanning smiled, and Zhu Pei bowed his head to apologize to him. This is still rare.

But he knew that Zhu Pei was extremely strong-willed and she would never tolerate others' insults to her personality or surname, but he still needed to remind Zhu Pei.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years. Although Zhang Chun's actions yesterday were too excessive, it is likely that you can easily think of it as the Zhu family doing it. Although the Zhu family is not afraid of trouble, it is probably not worth it to make enemies with the Zhang family for this little thing. I advise you to settle the accounts later."

Zhu Pei smiled sly, "Who said I want to deal with him? If something happens to him tomorrow, it has nothing to do with my Zhu family."

That night, Zhang Chun and a group of powerful children were drinking in Qingfeng Tower, but they accidentally fell into trouble when they were drunk and fell down from the second floor of Qingfeng Tower, and one arm was broken.

Because his right arm was broken, Zhang Chun was unable to participate in the third day of the imperial examination.

Zhang Yaozuo was so angry that he was full of anger that he had nowhere to vent, so he ordered dozens of servants to smash the Qingfeng Restaurant on Panlou Street overnight.

Just in the whole capital, I was talking about what happened at Qingfeng Restaurant last night. I was worried that Qingfeng Restaurant was innocently implicated, and I also shouted that Zhang Yaozuo's grandson broke his arm.

At the same time, the third imperial examination was underway in the examination room.

There are two exams in the third imperial examination, one is the silent scriptures and the other is the writing of poetry. The time is also one day, but it is half an hour longer than the previous two days.

Although the third day's exam is relatively simple, the test intensity is the greatest, especially the silent scriptures that start in the morning, which tests many articles including "Shangshu", "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes" and "Book of Rites".

There are nearly 5,000 words of dictation, which requires candidates to be very familiar with the scriptures, write quickly and well, and even have no time to use manuscript paper.

Starting from the time of posting the test papers, I took the time to write and recite the scriptures for all exams, and some candidates didn’t even have time to read the poems.

Fan Ning was very calm. He was not in a hurry to start writing, but read all the topics and the titles of the poems.

The title of the poem is also a poem, "It is harder to accept this matter than to respond."

It looks like it has no head or tail, is vague and has average level, but if you know the source of this poem, then this poem will be easier to write.

This poem is a line from "Yuanshi" written by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi. It describes the expectation of the imperial court's civil and military order, the monarch and ministers being harmonious, and working together to build a peaceful and prosperous era in the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the candidates are asked to describe today's peaceful and prosperous times and praise the kindness of the king. Most of the poems in the imperial examinations are about praising the king.

The imperial examination has always been very relaxed and straightforward. When you want to show your level, you must have novel ideas, clear views, concise and powerful words, such as countermeasures and argumentative essays.

But when you are required to behave properly, you must be steady and even mediocre. For example, today's poem titles are very important in political stance. As long as you can express your gratitude to the king, and with the rhyme, the page of the paper meets the requirements, you can get full marks.

On the contrary, when writing poems, the most taboo thing is to novel ideas, such as persuading advice, criticizing current problems, etc., no matter how well the poem is written, it is not qualified.

Therefore, it is rare to hear that imperial examination poems can be passed down through the ages. This is why.

Fanning put the title of the poem aside and turned back to the title of the silent sutra. He had probably estimated the size and spacing of the font, and then he picked up his pen to write the first silent sutra.

There are two sentences at the beginning of the first article, "Only three sacrifices are there, the king visits Jizi." Below you want to continue silent until you are 'the harm is caused by the family, and the evil is caused by the country'.

This is the content of the article "Shu Zhou. Hong Fan" in "Shangshu".

The Silent Sutra is the only subject that takes a relatively low degree of examination. The content of primary school students such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" will not appear. The questioners are trying their best to find hidden scriptures to test the scholars.

Like today's article "Book of Zhou. Hong Fan", if you are not familiar with the scriptures, you may not even know the source of the article, or you may not remember it for a long time. Even if you remember the article in the end, you will not have time to finish it.

Fan Ning took a pen without thinking and wrote: The king said, "Ah! Jizi, only the sky is cloudy and the people are living together, and I don't know that the Yi Ren is in the future."

Today, I will take four and a half hours, that is, nine hours, and I will have to finish the silent scriptures within at least three and a half hours.

In other words, if you write five thousand words in seven hours, you must have good calligraphy, fast speed, and no mistakes or corrections.

This is a very severe test for all candidates. It is good to be able to complete it on time. It is only about 30% of the tests, and most of them will be modified in one or two places.

Some candidates even did not make any mistakes after discovering the mistake. The gambling reviewer did not have the time and energy to read the five thousand words carefully, trying to get away with it.

There are still many candidates who are self-righteous, but they forget that there is still the existence of the honorary copying institute. Of course, the honorary copying officials hope to reduce the burden of copying themselves. Once they find errors in the test paper, they immediately stop writing and seal the test paper and hand it over to the reviewer for judgment.

These test papers that have no mistakes are eliminated without exception.

Of course, if you have made mistakes and corrected more than two test papers, you will also be eliminated, just one step later.

Fan Ning wrote quickly and finally finished the silent scriptures just after noon.

He took another piece of straw paper and wrote a regular imperial examination poem on it.

‘Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-

As the bell of handing over the paper rang, Huang You's second-year imperial examination finally ended, and groups of candidates walked out of the examination room. Although everyone was in different moods, everyone's relaxed expression was exactly the same.

As the bell rang at the end of the provincial examination, there was a sudden cheer outside the examination room. Everyone made an appointment to drink, go shopping, and go to brothels to have fun. At this time, the Ministry of Rites will no longer ask about the candidates' personal behavior.

Su Liang breathed a long sigh, "Is the exam finally finished?"

"Today you......"

Before Fan Ning started talking, Su Liang waved his hand and said angrily: "No matter whether you can pass the exam or not, I have tried my best. Now don't ask me how good I did the exam? I'm going to drink now and go out for fun with Yuanyuan. I don't want to hear a word of the exam!"

Fanning spread his hands and said, "I didn't want to talk to you about the exam. I want to ask you if you have time today to take you to make a fortune. Since you are going to find Yuanyuan, then forget it."

Su Liang immediately smiled and pulled Fan Ning's sleeve and said repeatedly: "Fan Ning, brother, what is the chance to get rich?"

"Go back to your residence to get the money first, and I will tell you naturally at that time."

Su Liang had a lot of questions, but didn't dare to ask too much, so he had to follow Fanning back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he met Mingren who was about to go out excitedly. Fan Ning grabbed him.

“Where to go?”

Akihito smiled and said, "I'll bet and try my luck!"

"Wait a minute, go together later."

Su Liang then realized and said in surprise: "Fan Ning, you are going to bet on making money!"

Fan Ning ignored him and asked Mingren again: "Is Li Dashou back?"

"I just came back and posted a rest on the door. He said he would sleep for a few days and nights, so that no one would disturb him."

"That's it, don't bother him."

Fanning looked inside again and asked, "Where are the others?"
