After discussing it.

And they were divided in the prison of the kingdom.

Zhong Xinyi needs to stay here and inform the other lesbians.

As for Cao Yan, they need to go back and prepare accommodation utensils.

Luckily, it's July and it's still hot.

You only need to prepare some palm mats, which are a kind of mattress that was very commonly used in ancient times

The palm tree is a kind of tree that grows straight and tall, the trunk of the palm tree is covered with layers of brown clothes, people use a knife to cut off the brown clothes on the palm tree one by one, and dry them to make palm mats, brown ropes, coats and other palm products.

After that, a layer of bamboo or straw mat is spread on top.

And to cover it, just go directly to Luo Ming's cloth shop to get it, it is some silk thin silk summer cool quilt.

After instructing the good family members to get these things done, the two drove a few carriages out of Luo Ming's house, and they needed to take all these people to their own homes, if they used them, the two of them really didn't dare to gamble on the walking speed of those girls.

And I'm afraid that this matter is just a shout, some people can't wipe their faces and are reluctant to come, but go to the carriage to invite them in person, so that they are more sincere.

Zhong Xinyi went early to inform the female candidates to hurry back and pack their things, preparing Cao Yan as soon as their carriage arrived, they could immediately carry their bags and get on the bus, after all, there were a lot of people, and they were afraid that they would not be able to pick them up before dark.

……

……

Xin Tinghe is the Xie Yuan of the Jiangning Mansion Women's Imperial Examination.

She is only 17 years old this year.

It looks like a kind of small jasper.

In the crowd, people have a sense of love and pity.

Compared with men's high schools, girls are more miserable.

After some men raise people in the exam, there are many people who like to give money and give their wives.

In the women's examination, these cases are rare.

The reason for this is that the main officials in the court are still mainly men, and women are more likely to hold positions such as clerks and deputies.

The second is that some girls' families, after the girls are in high school, some families will not let the girls marry, but stay at home all the time, recruit sons-in-law, and want to have a grandson in order to go to high school and shine on the lintel.

At this time, the ancients believed in the proverb very much, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children of Jinshi are Jinshi.

This shows that the investment of those rich people will basically be wasted, and over time, no one will be willing to invest in the imperial examination with female surnames.

Because her family was poor, in order to save money, she secretly followed someone else's caravan with several girls who were also poor.

And because I was following a caravan, I sometimes had to wait a little longer to buy on the road.

That's why I came to Kyoshi.

Except for students like them, basically everyone who can come has come.

As a result, they can't rent a house in the city, and they don't have the money to rent it, and even if there is a vacant inn, the house price has risen a little too much.

They could only live outside the city, a fairly clean inn, but not a guest room, but a firewood room.

There are still houses in remote places.

On the road, though.

Some of the seniors who had come to the exam before, told her.

Her appearance is a bit dangerous.

Of course, it doesn't mean that she is ugly, but that she is petite and smart, which is very suitable for the aesthetic concept of the Chinese people, and she is still dressed as a poor family, which makes her even more dangerous.

These words scared her so much that she didn't dare to go out.

Because she had also heard about the ghost fan building.

This also made these girls return to the firewood room early every day and shut the firewood room to death.

……

At noon that day, she came out early again and asked for a bowl of rice.

This meal costs ten yuan.

This made her feel a little distressed, and reminded her of the scene when she was in Jiangning Mansion and went to Cao Yan's restaurant to eat.

Shiwen, it's very good to eat, usually she eats the lowest ten wen at Cao Yan's house, because eating ten wen at Cao Yan's house is really more cost-effective than eating at home.

And the rice here, not to mention that there is no Cao Yan's family's ten yuan of green vegetables and free soup, and it is a little underfeather, and the rice is not as delicious as Cao Yan's family, after all, Cao Yan's family is really white rice, not other messy things.

And here is an edible rice, what kind of mess is in it, even the peasant children can't recognize the contents of the rice, several girls have talked about it in the firewood room, but they dare not complain in front of the shopkeeper.

Because the neighborhood is all at this price, and it's all this thing, and a few people are afraid that the store will kick them out.

"Go away and eat, it stinks." A well-dressed woman beside her shouted.

Suddenly, the other women around her also coaxed and shouted.

Xin Tinghe knew her, she was a candidate on Fujian Road, and a few days ago, everyone met her in the courtyard of the inn.

At that time, someone came out with a few couplets for everyone to pair.

It is said that for every pair of pairs, a reward of 100 wen will be awarded.

So a lot of people participated.

This hundred is definitely a lot for the people who live in this inn.

At that time, Xin Tinghe was still reading a book in the firewood room, and a girl who lived with her heard the news and pulled her out to participate.

Hearing that there was money to be made, she was also a little overexcited.

So three times five divided by two, and all the couplets were rounded.

Now it's all about offending the other exams in the hotel.

And the girls around her, under the questioner's inquiry, also told her identity as the first place in Jiangning Mansion.

The top students in this group of ordinary people were immediately targeted by them intentionally or unintentionally.

And since that time, she also found that there seemed to be someone there, secretly following, although she didn't see anyone, but the girl's intuition clearly told her the seriousness of this matter.

At this time, she also realized that she and the others should have been targeted by the people of Ghost Fan Lou, and the person who asked the question must be eccentric.

She told the other girls about the discovery.

Now, they are even more afraid to go out.

As long as it gets a little darker, she will be the first to come back.

And the smell of this body is not that she doesn't like to be clean, but she lives in a firewood room, what else do you want?

The bathwater shop will definitely not provide it, and secretly go to the river to take a bath in the middle of the night, don't be kidding, how dare she? Isn't this home delivery?

The girls had to fetch some water at noon, wipe their bodies, and take their clothes to the river to wash, and there was no place to dry them in the firewood room.

This makes everyone feel a little rancid.

But it can't be helped.

Xin Tinghe listened to the ridicule of everyone, took the bowl, and walked away silently.

"Phew! It stinks. The group sat down and slapped their noses.

"In the future, you should also pay attention to the environment, such a person stays in this hall every day, which simply affects the mood of our diners."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, next time we'll pay attention, we'll pay attention." The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized.

Then he walked up to Xin Tinghe, "Girl, please take the meal in the future, just go back to eat, just send the bowl out after eating, next time we are like this, we can only drive you out." ”

"Hmm!" Xin listened to He's answer in a very low voice, she felt very aggrieved, and lowered her head and prepared to walk to the firewood room in the backyard.

This made the people in the hall very proud: "Shopkeeper, serve a few bowls of side dishes, add ......"

Before the man's words were finished, a girl suddenly ran in from the door of the store, and saw Xin Tinghe shouting excitedly: "Listen to He, listen to He, good news." ”

"Cut, I haven't taken the test yet, what good news can I have?" There was a strange sound of yin and yang all around.

"It's just, it's all the fuss, I haven't seen the world, I haven't seen the world."

"I'm afraid this Xie Yuan is fake, right?"

"Hmph, even if you are admitted, it is estimated that it will be a lifetime of nine grades." It's a very poisonous curse.

The people in the hall sneered and sneered. ()
