Zuo Shaoyang joked:...It's so hard, then I won't be able to get sick in the past five days... Reading Network)"

"I will compensate for the losses*..." Wu Shu said with a smile, "Add ten stakes, a total of twenty stakes, and you will pay half of the money first, and then pay half of the money after the matter is done. How*..."

"Hehe, two jin a day? I can't make so much."

"It doesn't matter. As long as you help me pass the state test, I will still have the reward! I promise!"

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Okay, it depends on your sincerity. I will work hard for a few days. I will keep talking. I have been talking about practicing calligraphy, but I can't find time. Now I can only drive the ducks to the shelves."

"Sorry, hehe, thank you for your hard work.

Let’s do this. You have been living in my house these days and focusing on practicing calligraphy. First, I can help you practice, and second, it will not make it difficult for you to refuse if other people seek medical treatment."

"Okay, isn't it good to have food and accommodation? But I have to bring my little medicine boy."

"no problem*……"

After agreeing, Zuo Shaoyang wanted to verify the Wu family's job as the candidate for the exam. This is not a joke, but it must be verified clearly. Let Wu Shu come to listen to the news in the evening.

He took Bai Zhihan to Dong Xuejue's private school clinic in person and asked Dong Xuejue and several disciples. He learned that it was indeed only a lifelong ban, and there was no other punishment. He was relieved that the lifelong ban was very terrible for scholars, but for Zuo Shaoyang, it had no effect at all, because he was completely uninterested in taking the imperial examination to become a medical officer.

After Wu Shu came, Zuo Shaoyang agreed to take the exam. Wu Shu was overjoyed and immediately asked the servants to help Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan move into the house in the backyard of the Wu family's pharmacy shop and live in a suite in Wu Shu's bedroom. Judging from the residence alone, the scale is similar to that of Dr. Ni's family.

After Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan moved in, Zuo Shaoyang still lived in the inner room and Bai Zhihan lived in the outer room.

The inner room is quite large, and a huge desk is filled with books and four treasures of the study. Wu Shu uses the characters written by himself, "because in comparison, the notes of Lishu are more distinctive and easier to imitate.

Zuo Shaoyang read Wu Shu's calligraphy and thought to himself, "Although Wu Shu failed to study medicine and was cheating on the imperial examination, his calligraphy was really good. Although he was not as vigorous and thick as his father Zuo Gui, he was already quite good. He thought to himself that he would not have to say five days." Even five years may not be able to practice this level.

Wu Shu was still a little satisfied with his calligraphy, so he began to guide Zuo Shaoyang to practice calligraphy.

I practice it for a day, and I have mastered the basic characteristics of official script, but compared with Wu Shu's calligraphy, it is still a thousand miles away. Practicing calligraphy is unhurried.

In the evening, the Wu family set up a banquet to entertain Zuo Shaoyang. Wu Shu's parents and his wife were accompanied by him.

Manager Wu immediately took another ten stanz coins to Zuo Shaoyang, which was the compensation for delaying diagnosis in the past few days.

The Wu family frequently raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, and said a lot of good things. Manager Wu told him about his identity intentionally or unintentionally, but it turned out that Wu Shu's father, Zhangguin Wu's cousin, was the concubine of the county magistrate of Anyue County, Puzhou. In the eyes of Manager Wu, this relationship was already a nepotism that is worthy of pride, so he could not hide his pride during his conversation. He even said that if Zuo Shaoyang had anything to help in Puzhou, even if he spoke, there was nothing he could not do.

After the banquet, Wu Shu instructed Zuo Shaoyang to practice calligraphy until he got up at night, and then he said goodbye and went back. He told him to get up and practice calligraphy the next day at the fifth day.

After the Wu family left, Zuo Shaoyang saw Bai Zhihan feeling a little uneasy and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Bai Zhihan forced a smile: "Nothing..."

Zuo Shaoyang hugged her slim waist, wiped off the black and gray on her face, exposed her white skin, kissed her, and said, "Don't lie, if you have something in your heart, you will write it on your face."

Bai Zhihan snuggled up to him," whispered: "It's really nothing, I just mentioned Puzhou and remembered something*..."

"What's wrong with Puzhou*..."

Bai Zhihan looked up at him: "My home is from Puzhou..."

"Is that so? Who else is there in the family now?"

"Grandpa and grandma are gone, and uncle and aunt are still there. But they haven't had any contact for several years."

"Then don't think about it. Go to bed*..."

Bai Zhihan nodded and served Zuo Shaoyang to wash. The two of them kept warm for a while. Then Bai Zhihan returned to the outer room to wash and fall asleep.

In the following days, Wu Shu guided Zuo Shaoyang to practice calligraphy every day, from morning to night.

After five days, although calligraphy has not made great progress, at least it can be written with a little bit of the taste of official script.

Wu Shu's father, Zhangguin Wu, took out the test paper that Wu Shu asked someone to take on the exam, and asked Zuo Shaoyang to re-copy it in official script.

The copying process allowed Zuo Shaoyang to know what the Tang Dynasty medical examination was going to take. This was just a county examination, that is, the imperial examination organized by the county, which was the lowest level, so the difficulty was not high. They were all about the understanding of some classic medical sentences. There were also several medical cases, which were relatively difficult to take dialectical therapies, but in Zuo Shaoyang's eyes, it was also very simple. I found that the person who was catching the pen was indeed very average and had many simple mistakes.

Zuo Shaoyang explained these mistakes to *Shu. Wu Shu nodded repeatedly and was secretly happy. This time he finally found a real master and could pass the state trial.

After copying, Mr. Wu took the test paper back.

The next day was the state examination. The imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty only took one day, the exam started on sunrise and the papers were handed in sunset. At noon, dry food and drinking water were brought together. All the contents of the subject were taken together. Before entering, strict inspections were required. Each person had a single room and a small house, with a square desk, a chair, and a toilet. There was no door, which facilitated inspections and prevent cheating. Zuo Shaoyang took Wu Shu's orders similar to the admission ticket to the tribute school, and his heart was still pounding, for fear that someone would find out that he was a substitute and arrested him. As a result, the official in charge of the inspection just glanced at him without any expression to let him in. Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself that the Wu family was really capable, and such an exam could solve the problem of fraud.

However, he didn't know that the strictness of the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty was more relaxed than in later generations. The description of the appearance of candidates was also only seen in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. There were no requirements for this in the early Tang Dynasty, so it was relatively easy to take the exams. Especially for the prefecture and county examinations, the papers were sent out more difficult than the county examinations. However, Zuo Shaoyang was very relaxed. He could have finished the exams long ago if he answered the questions, but now he should write calligraphy as well as possible. Therefore, when practicing calligraphy, he wrote down many strokes and strokes, and then he carefully copied them.

It is already summer now, and the small house is very hot. It is like a steamer at noon, so it can be said that it is as bright as rain. Often, after a few lines of paper are written, it is wet by the sweat dripping on the forehead.

Finally, after the exam, Wu family and Bai Zhihan and others came to ask how they were doing well outside the Gongyuan. Zuo Shaoyang said: "The question is relatively simple, and it should be no problem to pass. It's just that the Gongyuan is very hot, very boring, and very tired."

The Wu family all laughed.

One morning half a month later, Zuo Shaoyang finished washing up and was sitting in the living room drinking mung bean soup to relieve heat. Bai Zhihan was helping to fan the weather. The weather was very stuffy and if he didn't blow the air, he would be covered in sweat.

I heard the inn corridors roaring, some people burst into tears, some people laughed, and some were in a mess. The two looked at each other and hurriedly pulled out the door. They saw that there were many people in the corridors of the guest rooms, almost all of whom were scholars with robes, some rushed up the stairs, some ran downstairs, shouting and screaming.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly grabbed a moment, and the scholar who came back dejectedly asked, "Brother, what happened to the inn?"

The scholar said: "There are no results in the state trial!"

"Released the results?" Zuo Shaoyang understood, and the results of the prefecture and city were released, and he asked anxiously: "Who is the medical examination and the grade?"

"I didn't see it. I participated in the Mingjing Department. Oh, it's famous again!" The words were full of desolation. Zuo Shaoyang let go of the scholar and turned to Bai Zhihan and said, "Do we want to go and have a look?"

Bai Zhihan nodded excitedly: "Of course I have to go!"

The two of them pulled up to the door, rushed downstairs, and followed the scholars to the front of the prefecture government office.

There are already crowds of people here, most of them are dejected, pale, and there are also people who laugh and feel complacent.

The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty held more than 50 kinds of scholars, including Ming Jing, Jinshi, and medical skills. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the scholars were the highest and most valued, and the requirements were the highest, and they paid attention to the beautiful articles. Later generations called scholars scholars as scholars, which originated from this. The second was the two subjects, Ming Jing and Jinshi. Therefore, before the list of these subjects, there were crowds of people.

There are three levels of the imperial examination. The county examination is the first level, with a relatively high pass rate. Each county has more than ten places. When it comes to the state examination, the difficulty has increased. The states are divided into three levels, and the upper and lower levels. There are only three places for the upper and lower levels in the upper and lower states. There are only two middle-level states like Longzhou and Hezhou, and only one lower-level state. Fortunately, there are many regular subjects listed, so there are still more than a hundred people in the state examination and second-level examination.

Even those who have finished reading the list are reluctant to leave. Those who have reached the list are smug and praise from their friends. Those who fail, and those who fail, are still lingering in front of the list, or want to study which ones who think they are not as good as themselves, and have some excuses to make fun of themselves and be content with self-deprecation, or want to see who else they know fails and find someone who is sympathetic and sympathetic. All of these things are lingering in front of the list before entering the list.

The rankings of each subject are ranked in a row, with several gold lists. Medical science is a professional subject, which attracts less attention. Most of the onlookers are white-bearded old doctors. Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan have reached the bottom of the gold list of medical science without much effort.
