"Well answered, it's very rare for you to have such an opinion. What's the other question? "

"Water, fire, metal, wood, earth, and sand." Lu Zi Nuo felt that his answer was not bad, and said: "Water can be used to irrigate, fire can be used to cook, metal can be cut and cut, wood can be cultivated, earth can reproduce, and the valley can be nurtured. These six things are called 'Six Palaces', and are naturally used by heaven and earth to nurture and raise all living beings. As the saying goes, good governance resides in the nurturing of the people. The virtue of saints lies in the handling of good governance, and the arrangement of 'water, fire, gold, wood, earth, grain' that is closely related to the people.

Mencius too: "When not against agriculture, the valley cannot win against food." The fish can't be eaten better than the turtle. When an axe is heavy, it will enter the mountain forest, and the wood won't be able to be used as well. Valley and fish turtles do not win food, wood does not win the use of wood, it is the people's loss of life and death without regret. 'With no regrets at the start of the path of kings … '

This was also a way of taking advantage of the situation. It did not delay the people's farming time, and they would not be able to eat up all the food; they would not be able to eat all the fish and turtles unless they were put into a big pond to fish for the fine fish net; they would not be able to eat out the whole stock of fish and turtles if they were harvested at a certain time. The food and fish turtle can not eat, wood can not run out, this makes the people to support the family, the funeral has no regrets. There is no regret for the people raising their children and dying in mourning. This is the beginning of the path of kings. "

"It seems that you have gained a lot from your studies these past few days. The Nine Classics can be considered as the main course." Liu Zhen Yang smiled and nodded, but when he saw Lu Zi Nuo's pale and tired face, he felt a little pained: "It's still early, go inside to rest."

"Sure." Lu Zi Nuo yawned, he was truly tired, and found a corner with wind behind him, covered himself with a blanket, and fell asleep.

Perhaps because he had released the pressure, Lu Zi Nuo slept deeply this time. When he woke up, it was already sunset. The hall was already full of people, the smell was complicated, Liu Zhen Yang had been guarding by Lu Zi Nuo's side the entire time, holding onto a scripture book in his hands as he read.

After stretching a little, Liu Zhen Yang lowered his head and looked over: "You're awake? Young people really can sleep. "

Lu Zi Nuo laughed mischievously, "So what if I don't sleep? If I wasn't hungry, I could still sleep for a while. "

"Hungry?" Liu Zhen Yang handed over Lu Zi Nuo's backpack.

She immediately took out the six meat buns from Returning Drunkenness to the Floor. Although it was cold, the meat was delicious and she was just about to start eating when a hand reached out from the side and Bai Mo Han found them among a thousand people. It was rare, but the three of them started to happily eat.

When the six examinations finally ended, it was already a quarter of an hour past ten. The nativology had already left in a flash.

Lu Zi Nuo felt that the meat bun had not satisfied his hunger, but had instead brought out the gluttony worm, and begged Liu Zhen Yang: "We still have a piece of venison at home, let's roast it later."

"This is good, I also have some good pear blossoms and drunk wine with you." Bai Mo Han immediately replied, thinking that the examination must have been well done.

"If I tell you that A Yuan still has the wine at home, will you not be able to leave?" Lu Zi Nuo said with a smile.

"Tch, so what if it's a toast? I love pear blossoms very much. " Bai Mo Han's boldness was reflected in his drunkenness, yet he was actually so single-minded.

After a meal of wine and meat, he suddenly woke up from his sleep. The sky had turned white.

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raised its head. Today was the day of the first selection.

Lu Zi Nuo arrived at the entrance of nativology and went with the rest to look at the rankings. Several large red pieces of paper were densely covered with numbers. The results from number one to two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight were listed. Apart from invigilator Meng, there were still nine hundred people who had been accepted for the second round of examination. Furthermore, the day of the second round was the day after tomorrow.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Zi Nuo went to the Whirlwind Sect to wait. This time, 900 people took the examination at the same time, and they were divided into three examination halls. Each examination grounds had 300 people, and Lu Zi Nuo was allocated to the second exam grounds.

After entering the exam grounds, Lu Zi Nuo was a little stunned. It was still the plaza in front of the palace, but there were only a few rows of tables, and each of them was separated by a chair.

After bowing to Confucius, the overseer of the examination finished reading out the rules for the examination and began to recite once again. After she made sure that everyone was present, she called out Lu Zi Nuo and clearly felt a gaze shooting towards his. She lifted her eyes to look over, only to realize that it was Mu Rong Chun.

Wearing a navy blue robe and weaving dense cloud patterns with silver threads today, Mu Rong Chun didn't look like his usual noble self. Instead, it dispelled the disdain he had for her, and there was even some indescribable warmth in his eyes. His long and narrow eyes looked at Lu Zi Nuo, and flashed with the mischievous look a normal teenager would have, then he placed his index finger on his lips, signalling her not to make a sound.

Lu Zi Nuo slightly nodded his head, but deep down, he was thinking, could it be that he had come here to conduct a private interview, or something like that? Dressed in such a mature manner, it was hard not to laugh.

Forget it, I'll ask for an understanding later. It's better to take the exam first.

Walking to his table in sequence, Lu Zi Nuo studied the questions, waiting for the questions to be announced.

"All the examinees are arranged in three rows at the back of the examination hall."

The overseer sitting in the center of the room had a serious look in his eyes. His eyebrows were slanted inwards, and he stood up and waved his sleeves, showing his might even when he was not angry.

"Again." Every time. " The examinees stood in three rows together, but they could still hear the helpless whispers. Lu Zi Nuo's curiosity was piqued, and he pulled on the people around him.

"Brother, what is the meaning of this?" Lu Zi Nuo asked.

The person beside her glanced at her and said, "Isn't it just taking a walk in the park to capture substitutes for the exam?" That person paused and then continued, "These people who were arrested never formed good relationships with each other in advance. The rich and powerful people in the family naturally handed over their portraits in advance. You don't know, after this match, you can set up a courtyard. It's a good thing that it's held every four years. If it was an annual examination, there would be no place to sell it in the capital. "

Lu Zi Nuo was annoyed upon hearing this. For the second round, there was no need for the invigilators to participate, for the remaining 150 people, they would have to bring out their true abilities, thus, this round's second round would be a competition of knowledge, and also a competition of cheating techniques.

They only saw the Prince of Zi Jin's main book and the nativology's classics walking in front of the students, comparing the portraits on the trays one by one. When he walked in front of Mu Rong Chun, the Registrar Official frowned, and a person beside Mu Rong Chun secretly stuffed something into the Registrar Official's hands, allowing Lu Zi Nuo, who was standing on the right side, to see everything clearly.

After checking everything out, everyone returned to the camp. There was the sound of a gong. The overseer took off the red cloth on the board, revealing a big "Lian" character.

Lu Zi Nuo could not help but let out a "Ha", filled with ridicule. The sound was not very loud, but it was especially loud in the silent atmosphere.
