Chapter 411: Chaos
Guo Xi looked back and forth, and said with a happy face: "This position, it's really a good position!" Meng Youfa nodded and said, "Well, the girl has always been thoughtful in her work." "Such a good position, if it weren't for the girl's thoughtfulness, naturally it would not be their turn.
Others nodded in agreement. Si Yan greeted with a smile: "A few of you should be in a hurry on the road, and you haven't had time to eat breakfast yet, right?" There is hot tea and snacks on the carriage, Brother Xue Shan, you can accompany a few grandfathers and uncles to the car to have a cup of tea to warm up." It's still early for the examinees to leave the venue, so I'll be watching outside. ”
Xue Shan patted Si Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Everyone is not an outsider, let's go and sit in the car for a while." It's autumn now, and it's still a little cool this morning. After a while, when the candidates leave the venue, the movement will be very large. We have a geographical advantage, and we don't need to keep an eye on it. ”
Xue Shan's words sound ordinary at first glance, but when you taste them carefully, they have many layers of deep meaning. First, Si Yan is the person next to the girl, and he came here today to represent the girl, so he can't let him stay outside to blow the cool breeze. Second, it is also to remind those people that the current position, and the early morning, are also the girl's thoughts. Don't just be happy and forget the girl's kindness.
Meng Youfa was the first to understand, and said with a smile: "What Xiaoshan said is that this little brother also came over early in the morning, it's really hard! Everyone is a person who does things for the girl, and they are not outsiders, so let's get in the car and sit together." ”
"Okay, in that case, let's go together. Si Yan didn't shirk, nodded with a smile and said. After everyone got into the carriage, Xue Shan skillfully fixed the table, and took out the teapot wrapped in cotton pads and a few plates of snacks from the dark compartment. After the warm tea was poured into the abdomen, the limbs were warm, and everyone had smiles on their faces, and their hearts were not as tense as before.
Meng Youfa looked at the teacup in his hand, and pondered: The girl is the master of one step and three steps, if she wants to make some small movements under her nose, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky. Fortunately, the girl values love and righteousness, as long as you are loyal and conscientious, and there is no crooked mind, the girl will not speculate and suppress at will. The Meng family has served the Yu family for many years, and with this, as long as the Meng family abides by their duties, the entire family will continue to prosper.
Also moved by Guo Xi, his coming to the Yu family was accidental and inevitable. Although he has always done things for the Yu family, only he knows best where he came from. As long as the girls of the Yu family don't move other crooked thoughts, their family will be safe. If the Jade Maiden had a conflict with that one. In the past, he would not hesitate to stand on that person's side, but now, the balance in his heart is really crooked.
But this girl from the Yu family is a sharp-minded person, if she finds out that there is a problem with her family's origin, the consequences will be unimaginable. With the cleverness of the girl from the Yu family, she would not be unaware of where Zhen's mother came from, so does he also know the identity of his own family? So let's say so······ Then why did she let Guo Xuan get out of slavery and participate in the imperial examination? Does she know or not? Puzzled, Guo Xi furrowed his brows, and couldn't help but become entangled in his heart.
Compared with Meng Youfa and Guo Xi's thoughtful appearance, the expressions on the faces of the other people were much simpler, drinking tea and eating snacks, and their ears were stunned from time to time, listening to the movement outside the carriage. Si Yan held the teacup, no different from the others, but a pair of eyes were not idle, and quietly collected everyone's expressions.
In the east, a red sun slowly rose from the horizon, breaking through the thin layer of clouds and spreading light down the earth. With a neat pace, a group of officials stood on both sides of the gate of the examination room, no one holding a stick like a baby's arm, placed horizontally in front of him, and divided the crowd into two sides, leaving a path where four or five people could stand side by side.
"Why did so many officers and soldiers suddenly come out?" someone asked curiously.
"I don't know!" replied to someone else, "why is there still a road in the middle, but the prefect is coming?"
"No, isn't it? The sun has just risen, and the prefect should be in the yamen at this time, what are you doing here?" said someone else suspiciously.
"But what is the reason for such a big battle?" someone craned his neck and asked, "Look at those officials who have tigers on their backs, they are the ones who practice the family." ”
"Dangdangdang" Just when everyone was puzzled, a gong sounded, the door of the examination room slowly opened, and the candidates inside poured out like a swarm. With a "buzz", the crowd waiting outside also panicked, desperately squeezing to the front, for fear that they would not see the person they were going to greet.
The crowd was in chaos. Fortunately, Lu Sheng was well prepared. If it weren't for the officials who kept people out with wooden sticks, these weak candidates would definitely be squeezed into meat sauce.
"Dangdang" The head catcher beside Lu Sheng struck the gong a few times, signaled to the official by the door, and closed the door of the examination room. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Don't be noisy, and don't crowd." Why is it so loud?!" He pointed to the east with his hammer and scolded, "If you continue to squeeze forward, I will let the servants and the catchers clear you out!"
This head catcher was already a tall man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. Chinese face, big eyes. At this time, his eyes were round, and his eyes were sharply staring at the people in that area. Everywhere his eyes went, people couldn't help but shrink and hang their heads in a hurry. Gradually, the commotion in the crowd lessened. Although everyone was still in a hurry, no one dared to continue to crowd forward.
Seeing that the scene was not as chaotic as before, the head catcher nodded, signaled the official to open the door, and let the candidates inside continue to walk out.
These candidates came out one after another, and although the people stopped crowding, the anxious mood did not diminish in the slightest. One by one, they stretched their necks, and when they saw the person they were about to pick up, they waved their hands and shouted loudly.
Like everyone else, several people next to the Yu family's carriage were also looking forward to it. They all widened their eyes, for fear that they would miss it in the blink of an eye. "Grandpa, grandpa, it's great that you're here to pick me up!" Meng Youfa was tiptoeing and looking around. Suddenly, a small figure hugged his waist, and he looked down, this is not his grandson, and which one?
