Chapter 488 The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 38
Yu Yao didn’t want to meet Chen Xiutian, so she quietly walked in another direction.
She found a hidden corner and stood there, staring in the direction of the examination room, thinking about the Qiu Wei imperial examination.
Each exam generally lasts for three days, with non-consecutive exams and two days in between. It is held in autumn, so it is called "Autumn Wei".
Each session lasts three days and two nights, actually totaling nine days and seven nights.
The first test of eight-part essay is based on the Four Books and Five Classics.
The second session is official documents, which are divided into official documents and judicial judgments.
The third policy question asked for countermeasures to address issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Although Yu Yao has never participated in the imperial examination, she has accumulated knowledge from so many dimensions and is well aware of these situations.
She didn’t know which exam it was now or when Chen Mufeng would come out of the examination room.
She avoided Chen Xiutian's gaze and secretly asked someone about the current situation.
After some inquiring, I found out that it was the second day of the first game.
In other words, Chen Mufeng will not come out of the examination room until tomorrow afternoon.
After thinking about it, I stopped waiting here and turned around to go back, thinking about coming back tomorrow afternoon.
When she arrived at the courtyard, she found a man waiting at the door. He was dressed in shorts and had a simple face.
The ground at his feet was filled with rice, flour, grain, oil, brooms, tubs, dishes and other miscellaneous items.
Yu Yao suddenly remembered the things she had bought at the grocery store.
It was obvious that something was being delivered here. Seeing that the courtyard door was closed and no one was there, I waited here.
The man saw her from afar and hurriedly greeted her, "Hey, girl, you are back. The things have been delivered to you and they are all here."
Yu Yao He hurried forward and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I kept you waiting."
The man smiled honestly: "Girl, it's okay, I'm just afraid of losing my things."
After saying that, the man left.
She opened the courtyard door, moved the things on the floor in one by one, and began to organize them where they should be placed.
After finishing all the tidying up, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, and the originally deserted yard became a little more homey.
After putting things in order, I sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard and took a rest.
The breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers, which relieved some fatigue.
She looked up at the sky, silently thinking about how to avoid Chen Xiutian tomorrow.
To be honest, Chen Xiutian is really in the way here. He has to find a way to keep him away.
In the afternoon of the next day, she dressed up carefully, wearing a bamboo hat on her head, covering most of her face, only revealing her bright star-like eyes.
Dressed up like this, he didn’t want Chen Xiutian to recognize him.
She took a look in the bronze mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong, then went out to the examination room.
This time she did not wait at the entrance of the examination room. Instead, she came to the teahouse near the examination room and found a seat by the window.
It can not only observe the movement outside the examination room, but also hide its own figure.
The teahouse was bustling with people, the guests were chatting and laughing loudly, or whispering in low voices, making it very lively.
Yu Yao had no intention of sipping tea. She just looked out the window from time to time and stared at the examination room door opposite.
Time passed by, and the examination room was still quiet. Only the occasional cough or the sound of the test paper shaking gently broke the dull silence.
At the afternoon application time, the sound of gongs sounded, "Boring...boring..."
The examiner's voice sounded in the examination room, "The time is up, hand in the paper, hand in the paper."
There was movement in the examination room instantly.
Some candidates breathed a sigh of relief, quickly sorted out the test papers, and handed them respectfully to the officers and soldiers who came to collect them, with confidence in their eyes,
He seems to have a good idea of his answer.
The examinee in the opposite dormitory cast an envious look: "Brother, you are so calm and relaxed, I guess you will be able to go to high school this time."
The examinee just smiled slightly and didn't say much. .
There are also candidates who are in a hurry and have anxious faces.
They may still have some unfinished questions, or they may suddenly find that they have new ideas for their answers but have no time to revise them, and they are so anxious that they are sweating all over.
Some candidates were not in good physical condition. After staying in a small dormitory for three days and two nights, and catching cold at night, their bodies could not bear it and they fainted.
Then, officers and soldiers soon carried him out on a stretcher.
Seems to be used to this scene.
Although Chen Mufeng was doing well, his face looked tired after a few days, and there was a faint dark blue under his eyes.
He stood up with difficulty, only to feel dizzy, his arms were sore, and his legs had become numb from sitting for a long time. It took him a while to recover. He would sort out the answer sheets, hand them to the officers and soldiers collecting the papers, then pack his bags and leave the examination room.
After Zhang Shuhan handed in his papers, he also got up, packed his things and left the examination room.
He was pale, looked tired, and obviously not feeling well.
When Li Mingxuan came out of the stinking cell, the stench followed him everywhere, and he felt like he was being soaked in the smell.
He was secretly glad that he was in good physical condition, that he did not faint and even answered all the questions.
He walked out holding on to the wall, his steps were frivolous, his face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. He vomited and cursed as he walked: "This wretched place is going to kill me. I'm afraid the stench all over my body won't go away for a few days. ”
The candidates around me all gave way for fear of being contaminated by the stench.
Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan saw that Li Mingxuan looked so miserable, but they didn't think he was smelly and hurried over to help him.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
Chen Mufeng supported one of his arms and asked concernedly.
Although he himself was very tired, his situation was much better than that of Li Mingxuan.
Zhang Shuhan supported Li Mingxuan on the other side. Seeing him like this, there was some sympathy in his eyes.
Li Mingxuan was helped out of the examination room by two people, complaining as he walked: "You don't know, that smelly building is simply not a place for people. Needless to say, there is a smell, there are even rats, so big One of them, not afraid of people, actually climbed onto my table and knocked over the oil lamp, almost killing me. The paper was burned, but luckily I was fast enough and took it away in advance."
Hearing this, Chen Mufeng smiled unkindly, and held back his smile to comfort him: "Brother Li has suffered a lot these days. It’s really hard for you.”
In addition to doing well in the essays, luck is also very important in this examination.
Zhang Shuhan also suppressed his laughter and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Li can persevere, which is beyond the reach of others. Let's go back first, wash up and rest, and then find a doctor to come and take a look. There are two more games to come. . ”
Li Mingxuan suddenly felt bad when he heard that there were two more scenes to come. He looked as if he was hopeless, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
As the door of the examination room slowly opened, candidates walked out one after another, their faces pale, their eyes black, their steps sloppy, and they were tired and weak.
Some candidates were even taken out on stretchers by officers and soldiers.
The group of people who were waiting suddenly crowded past.
Chen Xiutian stretched his head and looked forward, looking anxious. He pushed the person in front of him to move forward, stood on tiptoes and watched for a while and repeated this.
I just hope that my sixth brother can come out of it soon.
It was very cold in Fengqicheng these two nights, and Chen Xiutian was extremely worried.
Seeing some candidates being carried out on stretchers by officers and soldiers, I became increasingly worried.
Secretly praying that he will never be the sixth brother.
If you get sick, not only will it affect your exams, but you will also have to spend money to see her.
Not long after, Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan helped Li Mingxuan out.
When Chen Xiutian saw his sixth brother, he tried to squeeze forward, shouting while squeezing: "Sixth brother, sixth brother..."
Chen Mufeng heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was his eldest brother. He hurriedly replied loudly: "Brother, don't worry, wait for me to go out first."
Li Mingxuan's book boy Li Lei saw his young master being helped out, looking pale and scary, and he was instantly frightened.
He struggled to push through the crowd and rushed over, anxiously saying: "Master, Master, how are you?"
As he spoke, he took Chen Mufeng's hand and stepped forward to support him.
Smelling the stench coming from the young master almost made him sick.
He wanted to ask the young master why he smelled so bad, but he felt that the focus was wrong. He should call a doctor immediately.
The situation of the young master does not look very good.
"I'm fine. Just go back and take a shower and rest."
Li Mingxuan waved his hand and let a few people help him get into the carriage.
At this time, Yu Yao had left the teahouse and was hiding in a corner near the examination room, her face covered with a bamboo hat and black gauze.
She thought that with Chen Xiutian here, it would be inconvenient for her to show up.
It would be better to let Chen Mufeng know that he has come to Fengqi County and come to him proactively.
With this thought, he stepped into the space, wrote a note with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, rolled it up and put it in the palm of his hand.
She looked around, trying to find a clever child to help her deliver a note to Chen Mufeng.
At a glance from the corner of my eye, I saw a little boy with a tiger-like head looking curiously at the edge of the crowd.
Yu Yao walked over, knelt down and said softly to the little boy: "Little brother, sister has a fun game, do you want to play it?"
The little boy's eyes lit up: " What game? ”
She took out the note: "Did you see the brother in blue? You quietly put this note into his hand, then come back to your sister, and she will give you candy."
Little boy He nodded excitedly, took the note, and ran towards Chen Mufeng.
