Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 510 I have to take it seriously
This day was also very memorable for Qi Renli.

He went out at a normal time, and after walking a few steps he found that there were especially many people on the street.

Most of the time, several people gather together, and among these people, at least one person holds a book in his hand.

He saw it all and was secretly happy in his heart. The fact that everyone attached so much importance to this written test showed that they recognized the county government.

Although there were many people on the street, it was not a problem for walking. However, there were a lot of people in front of the county government office.

Although he didn't intend to block the way, he couldn't squeeze in with so many people blocking the door.

"Master Qi!" Cheng Guang, who was standing high up, spotted him and shouted and gestured at him, "Don't go this way. Go in through the west gate!"

Fortunately, Qi Renli heard it, gave up resistance, and was quickly thrown out of the crowd.

He went around to the west gate. Lai Cai was riding on the wall. When he saw him coming, he jumped down and opened the door for him.

"Hey, where do all these people come from?" Qi Renli straightened his clothes and looked up. Meng Changqing walked out from the backyard in official uniform.

"Good morning, Lord Meng. Why are you wearing your official uniform?"

"Brother Qi." Meng Changqing said with a smile: "This is the first exam in our county, I have to take it seriously."

"In that case, I will go back and change as well." Qi Renli was about to run out, but Meng Changqing stopped him and said, "You are too slow. Laicai, go to Lord Qi's house and ask Qi Xiang to bring Lord Qi's official uniform. Brother Qi, you can change at the county government office."

"Alright, alright, please come and help me, Brother Cai."

"You're welcome, Lord Qi." After Lai Cai said this, he had already run out more than ten steps.

It was almost noon when Meng Changqing and Qi Renli, who had changed into official uniform, stood at the gate of the county government office.

"Everyone!" Meng Changqing stood on a high place so that everyone present could see her.

She held the incense burner in her hand, and there was a newly lit incense in the burner. "After this incense is burned, we will start the exam." She said loudly: "Before the exam, I have a few words to say, and you candidates must remember them.

For exam questions, you can answer them if you know them, and you can answer them if you don't. Don't copy other people's answers, and don't think you are good at learning and provide answers to others. If you are found doing these two things, you will be kicked out of the exam room immediately. In the future, the county government will not select people. During the exam, if you feel that the questions are too difficult and you don't know how to do them, you can leave early, and you don't have to wait until the last minute, but you must leave quietly and not disturb others. If you deliberately make trouble, as mentioned above, you will never have the opportunity to take this kind of exam again, and you will be punished with ten big boards.

Okay, that's all I have to say. Now, candidates, take your registration numbers and go to the county hall to find your seats."

The county government prepared tables and chairs in advance, and each table was marked with a serial number on the upper right corner.

According to the serial numbers issued at that time, there were a total of eighty-six sets, which could not fit in the lobby, so those who were unlucky had to take the exam outside the lobby.

In weather like this, ink will freeze if left outside.

This approach is really helpless. Separating the examination rooms can allow all candidates to sit indoors, but it will inevitably increase the difficulty of supervision, and Meng Changqing does not have enough staff.

The candidates who were waiting at the door became nervous. Luo Yun held Zheng Xidong's hand and opened her mouth to speak, but found that her mother next to her was even more nervous than her.

"Or maybe I shouldn't go?" Jiang Chan even had the idea of ​​backing out.

Luo Sanmu advised her, "Since you are here and have waited for so long, just think of it as accompanying your child to see the world. If you really can't write, come out early. I'll wait for you outside."

Zheng Xidong seemed to be the calmest. "Let's go. We still need to check our things at the door. Let's wait over there first."

Luo Sanmu watched them check the serial number papers and go in, then he stepped aside and waited.

After walking around the screen wall, Jiang Chan saw rows of benches. She was shocked. She didn't know why, but in her eyes, those tables and benches looked like torture instruments.

She first found her seat in the lobby.

Luo Yun and Zheng Xidong were unlucky as they were outside.

Luo Yun said to Jiang Chan, "How about I switch with you? It's too painful to be outside."

"Everything is fixed, how can it be changed?" Luo Yun was very worried when she saw the seat she was going to sit, but she didn't want to abandon Zheng Xidong, and she also knew that things that were decided by the county government could not be easily changed.
