After reading the question, Qi Jing began to answer the question.

He had read all the questions on the exam papers, and they all remembered them, and it didn't take much effort to answer, and it didn't take long to answer the two sheets of paper, and it was only time to write the third one, when he heard a sigh from the room next door, as if he had encountered some problem.

Qi Jing ignored it and continued to answer.

After answering the sixth piece of paper, Qi Jing put down the pen, turned his wrist and stretched his arm, stretched out the dry food made in the early vase from the exam box, and began to eat with water.

After eating, Qi Jing had finished answering all the exam papers before it was dark, and he put it aside and began to rest against the wooden board.

After about half an hour, an errand came to collect the papers, and Qi Jing waited for the exam papers to be finished before curling up and sleeping with the quilt covered.

The room is narrow, and the not tall lifter can't stretch out when lying in it, not to mention Qi Jing's height, his legs are curled up to his stomach when he lies down, and his feet are kicking the wall, and he is really uncomfortable when he sleeps, Qi Jing couldn't sleep for a long time, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

The next day, Qi Jing felt that it was easier than the first day, but he still remembered that the examiner mentioned by Qi Juma was either an article that liked the elegance and wealth, or an article that was graceful and dexterous, and he didn't like the simple words that were substantial.

Therefore, the poems he wrote tried to do what he liked.

On the third day of the test theory, Qi Jing's brows furrowed when he got the test questions.

It stands to reason that the policy theory should be about the strategy of governing the country, or some of the problems encountered in governance, etc., but so. This time, the question of the strategy test turned out to be whether to build a royal garden for His Majesty today.

Qi Jing looked at the test questions, and only said in his heart that he was getting more and more faint today.

He had the heart to persuade a few words, only saying that he shouldn't work hard and hurt money like this, but he knew from the bottom of his heart that if he really wrote like this, then he would definitely be named Luosun Mountain.

There is really no way, I have to say a few words with my conscience, Qi Jing has already made up his mind, if he can be admitted to the Jinshi governance side, he must not do these things that work hard and hurt the people.

I thought about it for a long time. Qi Jing sighed in his heart. I gritted my teeth and wrote a lot of words against my heart, and when I finished writing, I read it again and found that there was nothing to change, so I copied it on the test paper.

Copy. Qi Jing was full of discomfort. With a gloomy face leaning against the wall, he was a little listless.

Let's just say that this day is the third day of the exam. Yun Yao and Yinzhu came to the gate of the Gongyuan early to wait to pick up Qi Jing, and Mrs. Guan said that she wanted to go to the street to buy some things, and it happened that Qi Baoling was also going out. The two of them were together, and they didn't take the car, so they walked out of the door.

Going out and turning right to the mouth of the alley, Baoling wanted to buy some paints and good rice paper, and also helped the treasure box to carry a few books, and Mrs. Guan Gu wanted to buy some embroidery thread and some plain color silk yarn, so they went to a very famous trading street in Ping'an Fang.

This street is full of needles and threads, spices for cooking, books and paper, jewelry and fabrics, and so on.

When the two of them went to the street, they first bought the silk yarn and embroidery thread that Mrs. Guan Gu wanted to use, and then bought paints and rice paper, and when they walked to the bookstore, Mrs. Guan Gu was tired of walking, Qi Baoling helped her in, and asked Xiao Er to move a stool for Mrs. Guan Gu to sit down, and Qi Baoling went to read the books by herself.

She flipped through many books in this bookstore and didn't see the kind of books that Qi Baobox wanted to read, so she called the guy to ask, who knew that the guy recommended a few books that were not good, Qi Baoling was very dissatisfied, so she said that she wanted to go to another bookstore to see, and she watched a young man wearing a cyan robe, the cuffs and neckline of the robe were worn out, and a few patches came in.

The young man clipped a few books, and when he entered the door, he asked the guy: "I just copied a few books, how much can you see how much it is worth?" ”

The boy's voice was hoarse, a little weak, and his face was unusually flushed, looking like he was sick.

The man smiled when he saw the young man: "You are here, sit down quickly, and I will look at this book...... Ouch, isn't this exactly what the little lady is looking for......"

When Qi Baoling heard this, he hurriedly went over to read it, took it and flipped through a few pages, and was immediately overjoyed: "It's the book I'm looking for." ”

She took the book and asked the boy, "How did you sell this book?" ”

The young man looked at the man: "This book is going to be sold to the bookstore, if the little lady wants to buy it, it is better to negotiate the price with the bookstore." ”

Qi Baoling squinted his eyes when he heard this, and he had a little more affection for the young man, and said in his heart that the young man was young, and he looked like he was very down, but his heart and eyes were not a lot at all, he should know in his heart that he was doing a long-term business with the bookstore, although he didn't make much money, but he could sell the book like a long stream, even if he raised the price and sold the book, it was a hammer deal, and he could only make money this time, and he also offended the bookstore, and he was afraid that it would be even more sad in the future.

The guy was also very happy and smiled: "This book is not easy to find, Zhao Wuye......"

Before the man's words were finished, Mrs. Guan stood up suddenly, turned her head to look at the young man, and asked tremblingly after a while, "Is it Xiao Wu?" ”

When the young man heard the voice, he hurriedly looked here, and when he saw Mrs. Guan, he quickly got up and saluted: "Sixth aunt." ”

"It's really a little five." Mrs. Guan Gu looked the young man up and down: "You, how are you ...... How does it look like this? What about the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law? ”

Qi Baoling went over to support Mrs. Guan Gu to prevent her from falling down or something because she was too excited, and at the same time looked at the young man, and found that although the young man was thin, he was quite delicate, and there was a bit of righteousness between his eyebrows, and he seemed to be a very good person.

"Daddy is gone." Zhao Wuye smiled bitterly: "Now that I am too young to work, and the family's money has been exhausted by seeing a doctor for my father and mother, I have no choice but to copy some books to sell to make a living, how is the sixth aunt now?" ”

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Guan Gu looked at Zhao Wu, her eyes were slightly red: "I didn't think that the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law went early, and you were left with a child...... Didn't the clan take care of you? ”

Zhao Wu lowered his head and didn't speak, thinking about it, it should be that the clan didn't take care of him at all, maybe he fell into the ground, but this kid has a good temperament and is not happy to say that the clansmen are not.

What kind of character is Mrs. Guan, when she was not out of the cabinet, she was a famous lady in Chang'an City, and later married into the Zhao family, which was also one hand in control of the family and outside the family, and the Zhao family's very promising master was with her one heart, that is, he had not given birth to a son and a half daughter for more than ten years, and Zhao Liu's master did not take a concubine, so it can be seen that he is a shrewd character.

She looked at Zhao Wu like this, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Mrs. Guan Gu sighed: "The Zhao family's earlier Duowei Weihe family has allowed the clansmen to be lonely and ignorant of it, alas, it is also defeated. ”

She smiled and smiled bitterly: "Our mother and mother are quite similar, both are lonely ghosts...... Earlier, the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law were so good people, I originally said that although your family is not very wealthy, it is better for your relatives to live a loving life in one place than anything else, and I didn't think that you would be the only one left in a blink of an eye. ”

When Mrs. Guan said this, Zhao Wu's tears fell out: "My father and mother have a sudden illness, and there is no way to do it, but in the end, I am also older, and I can always stand up for it." ”

When Mrs. Guan Gu heard this, she was even more sad, she pulled Zhao Wu over to take a closer look, and found that the child was thin and sick, and she couldn't stand it, so she took out a purse from the cuff and handed it to Zhao Wu: "Take it, find a doctor to take care of your body, and buy some delicious food to make up for it." ”

"This ......" Zhao Wu hurriedly refused: "How can I ask for your money...... I ......"

"Silly boy, you will take it if your aunt gives it to you." Mrs. Guan Gu said angrily when she saw this: "Although my aunt is also alone, but her life is better than yours, the Guan family clan still takes care of her aunt, plus my aunt still has her own dowry, so I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life." ”

When Mrs. Guan Gu said this, she was an elder again, and Zhao Wu really couldn't excuse herself, so she could only see the gift again: "The elder didn't dare to resign, so my nephew accepted it with shame." ”

"That's right, that's right." Mrs. Guan looked at Zhao Wu and had a compassionate attack: "You live a good life, my aunt is now living in Ping'anfang's family, if there is anything you can't get by, remember to send a letter to your aunt, other aunts can't help much, but I can subsidize you with some silver taels and make you a few clothes." ”

Zhao Wu thanked him again, handed the book to the guy, and then left.

He walked on the front foot, and Qi Baoling bought the book on the back foot, took the things, and helped Mrs. Guan Gu out of the door.

As soon as Mrs. Guan went out, she sighed again: "It's a hard-working child." ”

Qi Baoling pouted: "Listen to what you mean, this is the Zhao family, how did the Zhao family treat you at the beginning, drove you out, how can you still care about his family's affairs now." ”

Mrs. Guan Gu smiled, and her mood was very low: "This Zhao Wu is my cousin, his father is the fourth, is the cousin of my sixth master, usually has the best relationship with my sixth master, and the two brothers can also talk about one place, when the sixth master is still there, he often comes to my house as a guest, and sometimes takes Zhao Wu to go, at that time Zhao Wu was still young, and always went to the back house to talk to me, I have no children under my knees, I see Zhao Wu's good and clever It is inevitable to like it, and what is delicious and fun is left for him." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Guan Gu's expression was even worse: "When the sixth master died, the Zhao family followed the fire to send me to the nunnery, or the fourth brother and his family spoke for me, and later it was the fourth brother who sent a letter to the Guan family, so that I could get out. ”

It turned out to be like this, Qi Baoling listened thoughtfully, and said for a while: "This is also the right thing, because I said the wrong thing." ”

Mrs. Guan Gu smiled: "You are also anxious for me, what is this wrong." ”

After walking for a while, Mrs. Guan Gu should also think of Zhao Liuye, thinking of the good times in the past, and said with a smile: "Speaking of Zhao Si Master, this is still a capable person, when he was there, he was in charge of the Zhao family's studies, and those boys of the Zhao family who were rectified saw him one by one like avoiding cats and mice, and now that others are gone, the Zhao family is afraid that they will be even more defeated." ”

At this point, Mrs. Guan Gu looked sad and didn't say anything more. (To be continued.) )
