Chapter Ninety-Nine

83_83499 The month after the county test is the township test, the township test is different from the county test, the township test is only three times, each test is three days, so the location of the township test is different from the county test room. The examination room of the township examination is in the Gongyuan, and the Gongyuan is also a small house, but the small house is much larger than the county examination, at least ten square meters, and it is divided into two, the front half is equipped with tables and chairs for the daytime examination, and the back half is placed with wooden beds, and the candidates sleep there at night.

The nine days of the exam were simply torturous for Du Qiyue, the house was dilapidated and dirty, the tables, chairs and beds were very old, and they would make a creaking sound when they touched it. During the day, the exam feels like sitting in an oven, the air inhaled by the heat is scorching, and you will sweat all over your body if you don't move. There is only a very small window in the sleeping place, and it is very hot at night, basically no night breeze can blow, and there are many mosquitoes, so you don't want to sleep well at all, and after closing your eyes, you will either be woken up by the heat or woken up by mosquitoes.

And the food is also terrible. Only drinking water is provided in the test room, so candidates bring their own food. A lot of food in the summer is not long enough, and you can only bring dry food. Most of the test takers bring the kind of dry food cakes with only a little salt and salty pickles, and some of them are delicious, but they are often served for a day or two. For the first time, Du Qiyue was so eager for those food additives that could be preserved, if there were those things, he could at least make some cooked food and take it to the exam, so that he could only gnaw on those difficult and hard cakes that could not be bitten in the last few days of the exam.

It's even worse, a crockpot of drinking water and a bucket of washing water every day, and you can only use a wipe for bathing, don't talk about washing clothes or something, so the dirty clothes of nine days are piled up together and stink, and the smell is disgusting. What's even more disgusting is the Gong bucket, which is bigger than the bucket for nine days in a row, and the first few days are fine, anyway, if you don't put it in the corner, you can't smell it, but in the next few days, it stinks and can't sit down.

In just nine days, Du Qiyue's previous body was gone, and the whole person was gone, and when the exam was finally over, Du Qiyue was tired and almost collapsed, and his legs were weak when he walked, and when he went out of the examination room, he saw that dozens of candidates were carried out by their families, and his face was withered as if he had gone to half his life.

Qiu'er saw Du Qiyue coming out, and hurriedly rushed over to support Du Qiyue, who was crumbling in walking, and asked worriedly after feeding him some water: "Lang Jun, are you okay?"

"Fortunately, I haven't slept much in the past nine days, and I'm exhausted." Du Qiyue leaned on Qiu'er's body and said, he felt that he must have a good opinion with the emperor's uncle in the future, the college entrance examination was as comfortable as the candidates came, so that the candidates could give full play to their greatest talents. Here is how uncomfortable how to come, how to take the exam if the candidates can't stay up, Du Qiyue finished the last exam in a daze.

"Lang Jun, there is soft food in the carriage, I will help you go up and eat some." Qiu'er said and helped Du Qiyue into the carriage.

Sure enough, there were some light and soft food prepared on the carriage, as well as toiletries and a bed, it seems that Qiu'er had already guessed that Du Qiyue needed these things after the exam.

"Qiu'er, you're well prepared." Du Qiyue hastily washed his face, took a sip of shredded chicken porridge and said,

"Our young master has also taken the exam before, so I know these things. The house also prepared bath water, and when he went back, Lang Jun took a bath and then had a good sleep on the water, and he would wake up and refresh. Qiu'er said, while holding a fan to fan Du Qiyue.

Du Qiyue fell asleep in the carriage after eating her stomach, and when she got home, she was not embarrassed to ask Qiu'er to help take a bath, and then fell asleep in the dark.

I slept for a day and a night, and when Du Qiyue woke up from the heat, it was already the evening of the next day. The orange-yellow sunset was reflected on the bluestone floor in the room through the screen window, revealing a lazy atmosphere, Du Qiyue wiped the hot sweat on his face, pulled away the sheets wrapped around his body, rubbed his eyes and sat up in a daze, yawning heavily.

"Qiu'er, Qiu'er, are you outside?" Stretching comfortably, Du Qiyue shouted outside while getting up from the bed and getting dressed.

"Alasβ€”β€”! Lang Jun, you're awake, I'm worried about whether to call you up to eat! Qiu'er ran in from the courtyard and said to Du Qiyue with a smile.

"When you say it, I really feel hungry, Qiu'er, is there anything ready to eat outside?" Du Qiyue rubbed his shriveled stomach and said, he didn't eat much in the past few days, and he only ate two bowls of thin porridge when he came out yesterday, and he didn't eat a day today, so he was hungry early.

"Yes, I've been stewing shark fin porridge on the stove." Qiu'er nodded and said.

"Who sent the shark fin?" Du Qiyue smashed his mouth and asked, he didn't give Qiu'er spare money to buy such high-end things.

Qiu'er snapped her fingers and said, "Zhao Gongzi, as well as the emperor and princess, have sent a lot of good things." ”

"Did you say anything?" Du Qiyue poured a sip of cold water and asked.

"The emperor and the princess only let Lang Jun take care of it, and Zhao Gongzi also asked Lang Jun not to go out these days, saying that the little son of Mrs. Zhang's family is going to marry the third prince, and it is estimated that there will be trouble in the city for a while, Lang Jun is not in good health now, think about it." Qiu'er replied, then scratched her nose and asked Du Qiyue: "Lang Jun, are you weird, the emperor and the princess have sent us two good things for no reason, and it is normal for Zhao Gongzi to send things, but what happened to Lang Jun when the little brother of Mrs. Zhang's family and the third prince got married?" ”

Brother Yu once asked Empress Dowager Zhang Hui to marry Du Qiyue, Du Qiyue herself didn't know about it, but Zhao Yiyun heard some rumors from Princess Haoyu. A while ago, Brother Yu was disobedient and was confined by Zhang Fuliang, and later the Zhang family began to discuss the matter of marriage with the third prince, and Brother Yu was released. A few days ago, Du Qiyue was in the examination room, and Brother Yu naturally couldn't see him, but now that Du Qiyue has come out, Zhao Yiyun is a little worried, and he is afraid that Brother Yu will cause trouble for Du Qiyue.

"I don't know, he was probably worried that I was going to be called over to give them an engagement party or something. But I really don't want to move at all these days, Qiu'er, don't you know, that Gongyuan is really not a place for people to stay, when I think that I may go over next time, and it is my own longing to go over, I am bored! Ahh!!hhhhh Du Qiyue scratched her head vigorously and shouted a little self-defeatingly.

Qiu'er rolled her eyes, Wu Mingyao also had this reaction when he tried it out, he was obviously disgusted with the Gongyuan, but he just wanted to go again, and it was so tangled at that time that it could be described as hysterical.

"Lang Jun, don't worry, it's better to say if you don't succeed in this test. I'll go and bring you bird's nest porridge first, okay, you will think about these things when you are full. ”

"Don't serve it, I'll go directly to the kitchen with you to eat, I'm so hungry that I can eat an elephant now, but I can't wait for you to bring it to me." Du Qiyue said, while touching his stomach and walking out with his legs raised, but Du Qiyue still remembered Qiu'er's unintentional words in his heart, it is not necessarily not necessary to be in the middle, it would be bad if he did not win, he knew that although Zhao Yiyun did not come out, he should be looking forward to him being able to be admitted, Du Qiyue didn't want to disappoint him, but he was really a little bottomless now, although he did his best in the last exam, but his state was too bad at that time, and he couldn't even remember what he wrote at that time now.

Du Qiyue was worried for more than half a month, and finally waited for the day when the list was released. Early that morning, the gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people, thousands of candidates and their families or entourages crowded into the small open space at the gate of the Gongyuan, desperately looking for an opportunity to go to the red list to search for their own names or their families, masters, and the so-called temperament of those scholars on weekdays were all run to the back of the clouds at this moment, and they all blushed and used their strength to push away the people around them and move forward. Once they go to the red list, many people will laugh and scream like crazy if they see their name, and if they don't find their name, they will also feel like crazy, but this time it turns into crying and screaming.

Du Qiyue didn't expect that there would really be this kind of crazy scene in books or TV, after seeing the crazy crowd, he immediately hid in the carriage, although he was anxious, but he had also experienced the college entrance examination at the beginning, so he didn't want to go over at the moment, Fang Zheng would always scatter for half a day at most, he could wait.

Qiu'er looked at Du Qiyue's appearance and knew that he was frightened by this scene, to be honest, he was also taken aback when he came to see Wu Mingyao's results, he was a subordinate who didn't even know a few big characters, I really don't understand what is going on with these readers, even if this red list is often written in a large list, but it doesn't take much time to line up to see a list, you say that you are so crowded around, what is it to paint at the bottom!

"Lang Jun, do you want the little one to go in and have a look?" Qiu'er asked.

Du Qiyue waved his hand again and again, "Don't, you still sit here honestly, our people will go over after they leave, don't go, it's not good if you squeeze yourself out." "Qiu'er's small body, he doesn't worry about letting people in, just the crazy Cheng dΓΉ of the crowd, he can drown Qiu'er in minutes.

So the two of them sat at the gate of the Gongyuan and waited for the crowd to disperse, and their leisurely appearance, which was different from others, quickly attracted the attention of others, and then a carriage drove gently in front of them, and then the curtain of the car window was pulled open by the people sitting inside, revealing half of their delicate faces.

Du Qiyue jumped down the steps happily, leaned on the carriage window, looked at Zhao Yiyun sitting in the carriage with a smile, and asked flatteringly: "Yiyun, why did you come over?" ”。
