Volume Five: Whispering and Walking Slowly; Chapter Seventy-Three: Qiu Wei
Bai Suzhen stepped forward and kneaded his shoulders gently. Over the past few days, his consideration for Xu Xian had reached a new level. What he had never taken care of before due to various inconveniences, now as his fiancée, he was less considerate.
So many worries.
In the golden wind, an autumn leaf falls into the lake water, causing little ripples.
On the ninth day of August, it was still dark. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen had gotten up early. Today was the autumn day. To be more precise, they stayed up all night. They meditated opposite each other in the study all night, but of course it was not
Because I was nervous before the exam, I didn’t have much time to practice in the past few days. Moreover, the entry time was at Yinshi, which was between three and five o’clock in the morning, so I really didn’t have much time to rest.
Autumn leisure starts from the beginning of August. The ninth day is the first game, the twelfth day is the second game, and the 15th day is the third game. Each game is the same as the first day, that is, the eighth, eleventh, and fourteenth days.
Answer papers will be answered on the 9th, 12th and 15th of the lunar month; papers will be submitted on the 10th, 13th and 16th.
Xu Xian specially asked her to boil two poached eggs for breakfast. Although she didn't understand what he meant, she agreed with him. After eating and drinking, Bei Suzhen sorted out the examination tools for Nian Xian and put them in a bamboo basket.
Qian Dingzhu and Wan told her not to eat anything in the dormitory. Xu Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was really acting hsread now. *** She was like her own mother. Her current body was like three days and three days.
It won't be a big problem if you don't eat at night. Of course, you don't need to eat the food in the room.
Before leaving, Xu Xian suddenly smiled and said: "Come and give me a kiss!" and took a waiting posture. Bai Suzhen hesitated shyly, but threw herself into the trap, raised her head and kissed him on the lips.
Xu Xian smacked his lips with satisfaction and praised: "Sister, you are so good." Naturally, this made her peeved, and she hurried out.
Bai Suzhen stood in front of the door for a while, then turned around to put away the dishes.
"Sister, do you hope he passes the exam?" Xiaoqing stood in the room at some point, looking at him with a complicated expression.
Bai Suzhen scolded softly: "Xiaoqing, you are serious. This is a time when Chinese is so important, and you won't come." However, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided Xiaoqing's question.
Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose and said, "What's so big, is it just an exam?" He came to help her clean up while she was talking, "Sister, if he passes the exam, wouldn't he have to go to the capital to see that Pan Yu.
Bai Suzhen stopped and said, "So what?"
Xiao Qing said: "What's the matter? Can you get away when Ao Li is like this? It's impossible to go north to the capital with him." Although Ao Li has become famous, if there is no master like an earthly fairy to protect him,
Maybe the opponent's Earth Immortal will "capture the king". But Bai Suzhen can't live without the Suhang area.
Bai Suzhen's face changed a little, and she sighed softly and said: "Qing'er, since I have decided to marry Hanwen, they are all my sisters, so why should we distinguish them so clearly?" If not out of helplessness, which woman would want to have sisters?
?
Xiaoqing's voice suddenly became louder, "My sister? Who wants to be a sister with her? Others may not be willing to be a sister with you. Then Pan Yu is not Yun Yan. Xiaoqian, I heard that she arranged for Yun Yan to marry Xu Xian."
Sister, you have already paid enough for Xu Xian, do you want to recognize another sister?" She instinctively felt the threat of Pan Yu, who was definitely not comparable to Yun Yan or Xiao Qian. Moreover, as soon as Xu Xian went to the capital
, we have to be separated for a long time, who knows what will happen.
Xiaoqing has always been outspoken and straightforward, and she also considers Bai Suzhen wholeheartedly. She is always afraid that she will be wronged because of her kindness. She then said: "Why don't I find a way to ruin his provincial examination, and then we can try to keep him in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so that
Wouldn't it be better if he stayed with you forever? If he wants to blame me or hate me, just let him do whatever he wants." Xiaoqing made up her mind that if she was blamed by him, the worst case would be to let him bully him casually. This was not the case.
Without our own thoughts, aren't we sisters together not as good as Pan Yu? Bai Suzhen's face was solemn, with a holy and solemn look on her face, and she said: "Xiaoqing, don't talk nonsense.
Xiaoqing was discouraged and said unwillingly: "Sister, look, if Xu Xian goes to the capital, Pan Yu will definitely try his best to keep him in the capital. Others are not as kind as you. I won't rush to the capital then.
See him." He couldn't help hugging Bai Suzhen and said, "Sister, I'm worried about you."
Bai Suzhen scratched her nose and said with a smile: "You are also worried about yourself!" Xiaoqing's face turned red and she said in disobedience: "Sister, I'm telling you something serious!"
Bai Suzhen sighed and said, "What I'm talking about is serious business. I just hope that he can help him realize his wish!"
"What about your own wishes?"
Bai Suzhen smiled and said: "He will help me realize it!"
Xiaoqing said disdainfully: "He? He will only make you sad.
Bai Sutong smiled and said: "Don't be too greedy!" Xiaoqing had to say: "Okay, just you, the gentleman, and I, the villain, that's fine!" But he had other plans in his heart.
Xu Xian arrived at the Gongyuan in Suzhou in the dark. The gate of the Gongyuan was guarded by a row of soldiers. Under the light of a row of lanterns, many students had gathered here. Some were gathering together and talking in low voices, while some were alone and shaking their heads and mumbling. Some were older.
Xu Xian saw several young and white-haired old men alone. Xu Xian didn't know anyone here, so he went to jail alone.
It was dark, but Xu Xian had a great reputation. Although he got into troubles after coming to Suzhou and had no contact with the students in Suzhou, a few people still recognized him. However, they did not say hello, but pointed and discussed in private.
There was inevitably some hostility in his eyes.
The number of places in the provincial examination is limited. If you have more network, you will lose one of me. Xu Xian was supposed to take the exam in Hangzhou, but he came to Suzhou inexplicably. His talent was so well-known that he was almost certain to occupy a position. Naturally, he caused public outrage.
Xu Xian walked around as if no one else was around, and couldn't help but think of the college entrance examination in his previous life. But generally speaking, the value of this provincial examination is much greater than the college entrance examination. Even if you pass the college entrance examination, you will be a college student at Tsinghua University and Peking University. After graduation,
Sometimes you have to look for a job. Want to be an official? Take the exam! Step by step, even if you end up in the mud, it doesn't matter, and you may not be able to do it.
And as soon as you pass the provincial examination, you will be elected immediately, and you will have a bright future, support from the state, and the envy of the village. Even if you can no longer run a business, you will have food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you are lucky, you will be ranked in the official department, or
It goes without saying that you can find your own way and become a minor official. The best is of course hsread. If you become a Jinshi, even if you are the lowest-ranking Jinshi, you will usually be a county magistrate after being released, which is the post of county magistrate in later generations. This is often the case.
A checkpoint is a dragon gate. If you succeed, you will be a dragon, if you fail, you will be a carp. The difference between them needs no words.
Xu Xian felt that this was almost like a "heavenly tribulation" for practitioners. At this time, the gate of Gongyuan opened, and the two examiners led eighteen room masters this time, neatly dressed, and came out. The scholars all fell silent.
With a loud voice, the team was lined up. Xu Xian was also in the team, but he saw that one of the examiners was actually Magistrate Chen Lun. Chen couldn't help but become suspicious. It was against the rules for a local magistrate to be the examiner!
Then it was customary to go to the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius. It was still dark, and the ancient cypresses and fluorine in the deep Confucius Temple were empty. Although Xu Xian also paid homage to everyone, many scholars prayed silently. But Xu Xian looked intently and saw only the deepest part of the temple.
The statue of "Confucius, King Wenxuan" sits high.
But in Xu Xian's eyes, the Master's statue was clearly radiating a shining light, making the clay and stone sculpture seem to be alive. He understood in his heart that over the past hundred years, countless generations of students had silently prayed for blessings with their own sincerity, and made countless wishes.
The effect caused by gathering them together. Although this kind of wish power is somewhat different from the power of merit, it is not much different in essence. Xu Xian didn't have much respect in his heart. Instead, he smiled and sighed. You, who have been in trouble all your life, probably can't think of it.
, there are so many believers in later generations! And the real you has been distorted into shape in these thousands of years!
Then they were able to enter the real examination room, the Gongyuan next to the Confucian Temple. Of course, before that, they had to be searched by fierce soldiers to prevent fraud. After the search, they were pushed and "herded" into the numbered room.
The soldiers were illiterate and were not very polite to these scholars.
Xu Xian was tall, taller than Beiren, which caused some trouble to the soldier who was searching him. However, with a quick glance at him, the soldier did not dare to be too rude, and finally sent Xu Xian to his cell one by one.
Room A, No. 15. Room A is very small, less than ten square meters, but it is full of stuff. You are not allowed to move around at will during the exam. Scholars not only have to cook and eat in it, but they also have to eat, drink and have diarrhea here without windows.
Solved inside the small house.
You can imagine how miserable it would be to stay in it. If the weather is hot, it would be even more miserable. Every year, some people faint in it because their health is too poor and they can't stand the environment.
Xu Xian had no choice but to stay in it and look around. The green skin on the wall seemed to have just been painted. Epidemic prevention was also a necessary preparation for Qiu Nao. Fortunately, his body did not need to eat, drink or defecate. He was very single and was just waiting for the exam.
Enough.
However, Xu Xian is actually not sure of victory. He knows very well how many pounds he has. Although he has a photographic memory, which is a huge advantage, there are so many talents in the world. Not to mention Pan Yu, it is Jin Shengjie who is choosing the words.
His ability to form sentences was far better than his own. He couldn't help but think of Pan Yu's recent letter, telling him to take the exam with confidence. Even if he failed, he would come to the capital and she would arrange for Xu Xian to study in the Imperial College. Xu Xian couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, okay
A bowl of soft rice! Then I studied hard and memorized hundreds of written articles in the world. Although I was not 100% sure, I still had 70% to 80% certainty.
At this time, a gong sounded and the questions began.
Chapter completed!
