On the second day of August, there was the admissions examination for Yueshan Academy.
Although this is not a scientific examination, it is a big event for scholars who live within a few dozen miles.
Early in the morning, candidates came from all directions.
This time the exam not only recruits students from this town, but anyone who has the ability to pass the exam can apply for it. Therefore, there are also many students from other places for reference. Those who are far away came yesterday. There are many people staying in several inns in the town.
Woolen cloth.
Today is not a market day, but the bullock carts in each village are still ready to attract customers to the town.
Lin Hexi and Chen Zhongqian arrived at the place where the bullock cart was driven. Several people were already sitting on the cart. When they looked again, they saw that it was several people from the Chen family. They were sending Chen Zhongda to take the exam.
Seeing the couple arriving, Ms. Yang said, "Let's go quickly. There are so many people sitting on the cart. Soon your cart will fall apart again."
Lao Wang turned around and said, "I drove to the town today just for these two scholars. I didn't even charge for the bus fare, so why didn't I wait for them? If there are many people, it's because you have many people. There's no need to go there to take the exam.
Many."
He also wanted to make a good relationship, so he was going to the town to do some business, so he took these two scholars to take the exam. They were the only two people in several villages who dared to apply for Yueshan Academy.
If you pass the exam, it will be easier to obtain fame in the future. Maybe these two will be prosperous in the future. Riding in his bullock cart today can be regarded as a meritorious service.
Yang snorted, "My Zhongda will definitely pass the exam. Your car money will be indispensable when the time comes. Don't delay his exam."
"Then you give me two taels of silver to rent my car now, and I will pick up whoever you want me to pick up." Lao Wang said with a pinched neck, but he just couldn't stand Yang.
Chen Zhongda said, "Mom, please stop talking. My eldest brother is also going to take the exam. We were going to enter the exam room together."
Ms. Yang wanted to make a few comments, but Chen Zhongqian and Lin Yuxi had already arrived. She remembered Chen Mingyi's instructions that the most important thing today was Chen Zhongda's exam and she couldn't conflict with anyone, so she swallowed her dissatisfied words.
Lao Wang waited for the couple to get in the car and then drove off. He said a lot of auspicious words along the way, which made Wu and Yang happy, as if they had seen the day when Chen Zhongda became famous.
When they arrived in town, Lin Joy gave the fare when they got off the bus, which was four coppers in total.
"Oh, I really don't care about money, I just want to send two scholars to take exams."
Lin Xixi said with a smile, "It's ok, I didn't have a car to come to town today, because Uncle Wang is so convenient, I feel sorry for not giving him the money."
She put the coin in Lao Wang's hand and went to the examination room with Chen Zhongqian. The rest of the Chen family saw her giving the money, but they just pretended not to see it. Yang wanted to compete for the upper hand in everything, but she didn't compete at all with this kind of thing.
No thought at all.
You're a fool, you said you don't need to pay and you still pay.
The outside of Yueshan Academy was surrounded by people. Lin Yuxi pulled Chen Zhongqian through the crowd, and finally got in line. There were already many people in front of him, and they had to line up one by one to search and enter the examination room.
Lin Yuxi took inventory of the contents of his book bag again. All the pens, inks, paper and inkstones were provided by the academy, and he only needed to bring food for two days.
It was still a bit hot in August, so the food must be mainly dry food. Lin Yuxi was afraid that Chen Zhongqian would not be able to eat well, so he bought steamed buns made of refined noodles, and also specially bought milk and noodles, which were rich in nutrients.
In addition, the meat sauce and pickles are carefully made, which makes it more delicious when eaten with steamed buns.
For drinking, I prepared a small teapot, and also packed some silver balm, which is also mint. I soaked this in water and drank it to cool down and relieve the heat. I heard that it was very hot during the exam, so this thing could also help.
There is also Chen Zhongqian's purse, which contains a small sachet of medicinal materials carefully prepared by her. It smells fresh and pleasant, and can repel mosquitoes when worn on the body.
"There's only so much I can do for you. The rest is up to you. Take the exam well." Lin Yuxi smiled at him, her eyebrows were curved and very pretty.
Chen Zhongqian was carrying the book bag. There wasn't much in it, but it felt heavy.
"That's enough. There's no need to pick her up tomorrow. I'll just go back by myself after the exam."
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "Who will pick you up? It's such a small road, how can you still get lost?"
The body search had already started in front, so Lin Yuxi walked back, preparing to watch him enter from a distance.
Chen Zhongda was a little behind Chen Zhongqian. He looked a little nervous, and beads of sweat were falling from his forehead.
Lin Yuxi took out a small sachet and a small packet of silver elixir grass from his arms, and briefly told him how to use it.
"It's for repelling mosquitoes and cooling down the heat. Of course, if you think I want to harm you, just throw it away." Lin Xixi said nonchalantly.
Chen Zhongda said next, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lin Hexi shrugged and smiled slightly, "Take the exam well."
She squeezed out of the crowd, but Yang rushed up with an angry face, "What did you just give my son? Do you want to harm him? I know you are not good-hearted and are holding back your bad intentions, for fear of Zhongda
Did you pass the exam?"
Lin Xixi was speechless, "I gave him medicine. You can ask him to throw it away before it's too late."
Yang's eyes widened and she really ran to let Chen Zhongda throw it away. Lin Yuxi looked at Chen Zhongda's anxious explanation and became even more nervous. She could only sigh helplessly. It seems that good people can't do whatever they want.
Chen Mingyi and Wu also looked at Chen Zhongda anxiously, but didn't say anything. Lin Yuxi was too lazy to pay attention to these crazy people, and was going to buy some snacks and go home to comfort the children.
"Ms. Chen." Lin Xixi was about to leave when someone called him.
She looked back and saw that the man looked familiar, and she quickly remembered that he was the housekeeper of the Wei family.
"Is there a problem?"
Butler Wei actually has nothing to do. He came today because his master asked him to come to the examination room to say hello, saying that the examination must be fair and just.
He didn't know that this matter was done for Chen Zhongqian, otherwise he would have taken credit now. He stopped Lin Yuxi just because he saw it. He thought that this was the person next to the miracle doctor Dr. Li, and he didn't say a few words.
harm.
"Nothing's wrong. Madam Chen is here today. Is she here to take the exam?"
Lin Yuxi didn't like to be polite to others, so she said directly, "My husband is taking the exam."
"Oh, then I wish Chen Langjun good luck in the exam."
Lin Joy nodded and left. However, this scene was noticed by Chen Mingyi. It seemed that the man came from a wealthy family and seemed to be a steward. It seemed that he had a good attitude towards Lin Joy.
How could Lin Hexi know such a person?
It happened that the little steward he had met also came, and Chen Mingyi hurried over to talk, "Brother Wang, you made a special trip today for my grandson's exam. It's really hard work."
Steward Wang didn't come here for Chen Zhongda's business. He just followed Steward Wei out to do some errands. Steward Wei happened to be visiting Yueshan Academy, so he followed him.
