Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Xiao Qi drove the carriage around the streets near the examination hall and found that most of the inns were indeed full, but there were still a few inns with vacancies.

But the price is a bit expensive, five cents of silver a day.

Chen Lang brought enough money for this trip. A house that cost five cents of silver a day was enough for him to live in.

After checking into the inn, Chen Lang never left the room except to go to the toilet and take a shower, and put all his energy into cramming for the exam.

This time, not only did he have to pass the college entrance examination, but he also had to strive to surpass Ke Jin. As the date approached, Chen Lang felt more and more stressed, and he even suffered from insomnia for a while.

Fortunately, the college entrance examination was held the day after my insomnia.

When the first rooster crowed, Chen Lang went to the bathroom of the inn and took a cold shower, which instantly lifted his spirits.

He returned to his room, put on the "battle robe" specially sewn for him by Li Xiuzhi, and said to himself in the bronze mirror: "You can do it, you can do it!"

Turning around, I saw Xiao Qi standing at the door with an exam basket and a bright face.

"Sir, it's time to set off."

Chen Lang nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the inn with a brisk pace.

When we arrived at the examination hall, there were already nearly a hundred students gathered there.

Chen Lang thought he was the first one, but he didn't expect there were other experts.

"Xiao Qi, go back." Chen Lang took the exam basket and said, "Don't feel wronged when I'm not here. Eat whatever you want."

Xiao Qi said solemnly: "Sir, Xiao Qi believes in you, you will definitely pass the exam."

Chen Lang smiled and nodded: "Go back."

After watching Xiao Qi leave, Chen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, found a secluded place to sit on the ground, and closed his eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a voice beside my ear: "The gate is open."

Chen Lang opened his eyes, stood up, and slowly walked forward along the crowd.

Compared with the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination, the examination method is more rigorous and more standardized.

In addition to the officers responsible for body searches, there were two groups of detectives with knives standing on both sides of the gate, staring at the candidates in line with murderous eyes. Anyone who dared to say a word would be arrested on the spot.

After the first level of search, students cannot go directly to the examination venue and need to wait in a temporary examination room.

As more and more people entered the examination room, some students from Guangling Prefecture recognized Chen Lang.

"Brother Bohu?"

Chen Lang is a very famous person in Guangling Prefecture, and most people are used to calling him Tang Bohu instead of Chen Lang.

Once someone took the lead, more people came over and greeted Chen Lang.

In fact, Chen Lang was still a little proud. He was now a celebrity among the students.

But this elation did not last long, as someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Ke is here."

This sudden thunderclap directly blew away the people around Chen Lang.

Soon it merged into a torrent and rushed in another direction.

Chen Lang was stunned and shook his head, saying, "A bunch of guys who just follow the wind."

Facing the surging crowd, Master Ke remained calm and responded to each greeting: "I am so ashamed to accept your kindness."

As he spoke, he walked towards Chen Lang. When he was about three steps in front of Chen Lang, Master Ke bowed and said, "I have heard of Brother Bo Hu's great name for a long time. Today I finally get to see his true face."

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know you."

Mr. Ke smiled and said, "My name is Ke Jin."

Chen Lang's eyes narrowed into slits in an instant.

It turns out that this kid is Han Qi's top disciple, the one he wants to defeat in this college entrance examination, the genius of Guangling Prefecture, Ke Jin.

"It turns out to be Brother Ke. I've heard a lot about you."

"I saw Brother Ke's poem in Guangling Prefecture earlier. I was tempted to compete with him. Looking back, it was indeed a bit impulsive."

"I hope I haven't caused any trouble to Brother Ke."

Chen Lang's words seemed like an apology, but in fact they contained hidden sarcasm, saying that Ke Jin's poetry was not as good as his.

But Chen Lang is indeed qualified to say this because he has a group of guardian spirits!

There are more than ten people at the same level as Taibai!

How can Ke Jin compare with himself?

A hint of fighting spirit flashed across Ke Jin's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Poetry is ultimately a minor art, just a toy for us scholars to play with occasionally. The exams are more about writing. I'm lucky enough to have seen Brother Bohu's essay for the palace exam, and I can only say..."

"Okay."

These words highlight that Ke Jin is not a pushover. If someone bullies him, he will bully back on the spot.

If Chen Lang said that he wrote bad poems, he would say that Chen Lang wrote bad articles, and he would not suffer any loss.

Chen Lang said, "Since that's the case, how about using the college entrance examination as a chess game?"

Ke Jin said: "Just as I wish."

"Brother Bo Hu is a disciple of the Sheng Ju Ren, and his talent has been recognized by Scholar Xiao. I have long wanted to learn from him."

Chen Lang's face darkened slightly.

This Ke Jin is not as gentle and elegant as he looks.

Chen Lang didn't think it was a big deal when he brought up Xiao Yu. After all, he failed the exam and it wouldn't affect Xiao Yu's reputation.

But when he brought up Sheng Chuliang, the threat became more pronounced.

If I fail this exam, my teacher will definitely be implicated.

However, at this time, the worst thing to do is to show your weakness. Even if you are extremely panicked, you must remain calm on the surface.

The loser does not lose the formation.

Failing an exam is a problem of ability, while showing weakness is a problem of attitude. They should not be confused.

Chen Lang responded calmly, "I also want to know if Mr. Han's disciple is as talented as the rumors say."

Just as Ke Jin was about to answer, several officers came over and said, "Get your number."

Everyone left and dispersed.

Chen Lang took his number plate and entered his examination room. He rubbed his palms slowly and kept repeating two words in his mind.

calm.

The big talk has been said, and what I need to do next is to devote myself to the exam and stop thinking about those messy things.

Even if I fail the exam in the end, the worst that can happen is that I have to go back to being a small vendor and pay money to do labor service every year. At least I won't die.

Soon, an official, surrounded by many people, began to inspect the examination room.

When he came in front of Chen Lang, an official next to the official whispered a few words in his ear, and the official immediately looked sideways.

This look made Chen Lang feel very uncomfortable, and his heart tightened. This feeling was exactly the same as when he had just traveled through time, went to the river to fish and catch shrimps, and then encountered the mountain.

Panic and anxiety.

After taking a look, the official slowly stepped forward, and the officer beside him said, "Chen Lang, this is the Superintendent of Education, Chang Anmin. Quickly stand up and greet him."
