Chapter 659: Examination (I)

When the situation calmed down, the beginning of autumn, the long-delayed examination finally began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Miao is not as nervous as the rest of the family, in her opinion, the exam is like the college entrance examination, just a life process, of course it is good to be admitted, but if you can't pass the exam, you still have to live a good life, and there is nothing wrong with repeating it, in short, it is a sentence, whether Su Yan can be admitted or not, it doesn't matter.

Others don't think like her, especially Mrs. Su and the Hu family, in their opinion, Su Yan finally got the hang of it and was willing to participate in the exam, which was definitely God's eye-opening, smoke on the ancestral grave, and the two of them were happy. Although Mrs. Su's first reaction when she heard that Su Yan promised to take the entrance examination was that this kid was doing something, she was very happy to see that he was indeed actively preparing for the exam, and took Hu Shi to a temple far away from Xueyizhuang and asked for a spiritual talisman that was very effective for the imperial examination high school. Although Hu's cooking is indeed not as delicious as Su Miao's, she still cooks for Su Yan every day, expecting him to be in middle and high school.

Su Miao couldn't cry or laugh at the positive attitude of the two of them that it would give people huge psychological pressure, and secretly talked to them twice, although Mrs. Su and Hu promised not to put pressure on Su Yan, but the expectation and joy in their hearts could not be hidden, and they would overflow every day when they saw Su Yan.

What surprised Su Miao a little was that in the face of such a big pressure, if it was the usual Su Yan, he would have been uncomfortable and wanted to run away with tears in his eyes, but this time he didn't, he accepted it very calmly, not so much to accept, but to say that he didn't take his grandmother and mother's positive enthusiasm for him to heart at all, or that he didn't seem to see it. He seemed to be closed in his own world, locked himself firmly in a small circle of deliberately created circles, and he was still comfortable staying in the protective circle he had created for himself, because he was still comfortable in his own circle without having to think too hard.

He buried his head in books every day, day and night, forgetting to sleep and eat, because the girl had told him that he was the best boy in her heart, and he felt that he was not the person she said he was, so he was trying, he thought, at least he had to make himself worthy of his name, maybe she wouldn't know, but he really didn't want to disappoint him.

Su Miao felt that Su Yan seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, after growing up, he faded away from the shy, shy, timid and cowardly he used to be, he was still silent, but it was not like he was afraid to speak because he was afraid to speak, he obviously became calmer than in the past, and now he can easily calm down his emotions, but behind that calmness, in the faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, is a heaviness that cannot be described in words.

Su Miao thought, perhaps only after experiencing the sharpest emotional wounds, a naïve boy will gradually grow into an excellent man and complete the heavy transformation in his growth.

When Su Yan was finally no longer the timid boy who was afraid of things, he became a man with memories, hearts, things he wanted to protect, and things he wanted to accomplish, Su Miao didn't know whether to be happy for him or sorry for him when he saw him like this.

It was raining heavily on the day of the test, and it was a heavy rain that could not be covered by paper umbrellas, and such weather could easily affect the atmosphere and mood.

Even if the road in Liangdu is wide, because of the heavy rain, the traffic jam began to be far away, and many students who went to the examination could only abandon the car and walk, holding an umbrella and carrying a bookcase to run into the Gongyuan, and undergo strict inspection under the temporary grass shed outside the door, so that the face was full of water, and the trouser legs collapsed a lot of mud and dots, and they were in a mess.

Fortunately, Mrs. Su is old and experienced, and when she got up in the morning, she saw that it was such a weather, and hurriedly instructed Chunniang to prepare a set of clean clothes, shoes and socks for Su Yan, Ning Le and Wenwen, and they could change into new ones when they entered the Tribute Courtyard, so that they would not catch a cold. Those who didn't expect this layer were unlucky, and no one cared about the chicken that was poured into soup by the rain, so they could only take the exam in wet clothes, and the first exam was three days, and the scholars' bodies were weak, and they didn't know if they would have a serious cold.

The whole Su family set out to send Su Yan to the gate of the Gongyuan, and they said that they would wait at the gate of the Gongyuan when the clerk and Ning Le arrived first.

Gongyuan does not provide meals, three meals need to be solved by the candidates with dry food, although there are only three days, but it is always a little difficult to eat well, Su Miao made three boxes of lunches, one box is a day's share, and distributed them to the three people one by one.

"I heard that the shed inside is low and narrow, and it is very inconvenient to make a fire to cook, so I made some food, there are cold food, and the rest are dishes that are not difficult to eat when they are cold. I will use a lot of pickles for the next two days, because I am afraid that it will be bad, so you will eat it. But today's portion is very luxurious, don't forget to answer the paper when you eat! Su Miao said with a smile.

"Let me see! Show me how luxurious it is! Ning Le joked, stretched out his hand, rushed to take it, and couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, looking, this look, his mouth opened wide, and he exclaimed, "Mohai lobster?" This thing is ten taels of silver each, this is too luxurious! Then he asked worriedly, "Su Miao, are you okay?" ”

What he meant was "Su Miao, you don't have anything wrong with your brain, why are you suddenly so generous"?

"I'm fine." Su Miao glanced at him, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Recently, I have a lot of money, one person and one Mohai lobster, I have a treat, they are all bought from the fishing boat that has just entered the port, fresh, it is a lottery for you, I hope you can all carp jump over the dragon gate, on the list!" ”

"It's a chowder, isn't it?" Ning Le suddenly smiled and spoke. There are two layers of wooden lunch box, and he unveiled the first layer, and the second layer of fragrant chowder caught his eye, crispy tofu, fresh vegetables, smooth vermicelli, and fragrant meatballs, and the flavors were mixed together, as if playing a piece of music that Ning Le was very familiar with and missed.

The delicious, harmonious, and wonderful taste made people appetizing, and it also shocked Ning Le, who wanted to joke, and his eyes suddenly became a little dry, and he blinked vigorously.

"This is still warm, go in for a while and eat it while it's hot, so early, you come out in a hurry, eat two bites and a pad after you go in, you will definitely not be able to write something when you are hungry." Su Miao said with a smile.

"It's bean soup and rice, I miss it so much!" Before Ning Le could answer, Su Yan opened his mouth first, he looked at the box of bean soup and rice with mellow soup and glutinous rice grains in his hand, slightly surprised, and sighed.

This was when he was young, when they were still running a food stall, and the second sister often cooked for him. Although the family was poor and short of ingredients at that time, bean soup rice has always been his favorite taste, but unfortunately the family gradually became richer, the ingredients were rich, and the second sister was busy, so the bean soup rice was rarely made.

"Oops, I suddenly want to go back to Toyosu!" Ning Le rubbed his itchy nose and said with a dry smile, blinking his eyes to hide the sudden wetness.

"Thank you for your trouble." The clerk took a step back, respectfully bowed to Su Miao, and said sincerely.

Su Miao smiled and said, "Everything goes well!" ”

The three of them responded in unison, took a deep breath, mustered up their courage, held the lunch box, utensils and luggage, turned around with a large bag and a small wrap, and were about to walk towards the tribute courtyard.

"Paperwork!" Chun Niang has been talking since handing over the clean clothes to the clerk, uneasy, and more and more anxious, this time when she saw the clerk turn around, she became more and more anxious, she didn't hold back, stepped forward, and called loudly.

Her shout attracted many strange eyes, and Chunniang's face turned red.

The clerk was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and looked at her suspiciously.

Chun Niang blushed, and under the gaze of everyone, she put her hand into her sleeve, gritted her teeth secretly, tried to thicken her face, and handed the talisman from her sleeve tremblingly to the paperwork.

The clerk took it in surprise.

This talisman was asked to come back when Chun Niang accompanied Mrs. Su and Hu to the temple to make incense, and it is said that the title of the gold list is very effective.

The clerk was stunned, but didn't say much, he took it with a smile and thanked him politely:

"Thank you, Miss Guo!"

This kind of indifferent title made the courageous Chunniang very discouraged, she was a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to show it under the gaze of Hu Shi and Mrs. Su.

The three candidates turned around, and after a strict inspection, they stepped through the gate of the Gongyuan and entered the examination room.

After this time, many people's lives will be very different.
