Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Long Night of the Examiner
Chu Feng and Liu Zhengqing had dinner in Tianxiang Building, and when they returned to the calligraphy and painting shop, a government official from the Zhizhou Mansion had been waiting for a long time.
This official had already been personally instructed by Lord Zhizhou, and he didn't dare to slack off on Chu Feng, so he greeted him respectfully, and asked him to move to the Kaoyuan.
Chu Feng asked about the rules of the Kaoyuan, and when he inquired, he really couldn't bring anything in, so he gave up. I only said goodbye to Mr. Wenduan and Brother Zhang, and then pedaled with the government officials and went to the examination garden.
It was night, and the streets were quiet. The examination garden itself is a place of rectification, there is no noise in the market before and after, only some insects are screaming frogs, in such a spring night, it is more quiet.
Seeing that Chu Feng had already eaten, the official led him directly to the wing, pointing to the courtyard wall on the north side and introducing: "That is the main hall of the examination garden, where the scholars will answer tomorrow." Tomorrow's guards may be harsh, but fortunately, they are not as lengthy as the government exam, and they will be done in one day. If Chu Langjun has something urgent, he can tell the little one. Those reckless men who guarded, if they were blind for a while, and if there was anything offended, I hope that Lord Chu Langjun will not remember the villain, and talk to the little one, and the little one will teach him a lesson. β
Chu Feng smiled and said "polite", and then listened to what the official said that should be paid attention to, and then entered a side room with him.
The wing room has already been cleaned, the oil lamps have been lit, and they are waiting for someone to come.
Chu Feng looked around and found that the windows of this wing room were bright and clean, much more spacious than the place where he lived in Lu's calligraphy and painting shop, so he was very satisfied.
The official peeked at Chu Feng's face, and at this time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Although our Hangzhou City has a large population, the last time the Kaoyuan was repaired was more than thirty years ago, and this place is really not spacious. Chu Langjun is also a reasonable person, it will be difficult to be here for a few nights, and he will definitely not be held accountable! β
Chu Feng smiled and arched his hand at the official: "You are so polite, you are just coming to help down, and you should thank you if you have a place to live." Not to mention that it's a nice place, even better than where I lived. β
Of course, the officials didn't take this sentence seriously, but they were still relieved in their hearts. This is the person who Lord Zhizhou personally named to take care of, and I don't know what kind of identity it is, but it must be good anyway. This official began to panic after taking over the errand, for fear that he would accidentally offend this big man, and then make trouble in the ears of Lord Zhizhou, and cut off his own vitality.
So I ordered someone to prepare early, and went to the house early to pick it up, but I didn't expect that I had made a few days of psychological preparation, and this young Langjun was actually quite easy to serve. Regarding Chu Feng's impression, this official still thinks it's very good.
Chu Feng thanked him a few more times, remembered something, and bowed his hand to the officials: "Yes, I haven't asked for advice yet......"
"Under the surname Wang, Wang Ji, and now he is in charge of the chores of this small courtyard in this examination garden. If you have something to do with me, just grab someone and ask me my name. "The official Wang Jidao.
"It turned out to be Lord Wang, disrespectful." Chu Feng bowed slightly.
"Ouch! Don't dare to be! Wang Ji hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and said with a smile, "I'm just a little official, how dare I call an adult?" You might as well call me by my name, that's what makes me feel more at ease. β
In this era, there is no direct difference between calling someone by name in person and scolding someone. Chu Feng smiled when he heard this, and called "Brother Wang", which was considered to be a stop.
Wang Ji was a little flattered, thinking that this must be the noble son of a high-ranking family in front of him, otherwise where would there be such an elegant demeanor in his actions, and it was really incomparable to the background of a small family.
As for why people from the Gaomen clan wanted to come here to do a copy, Wang Ji had a lot of knowledge, so he could naturally guess the truth. It must be that you can't study, and you want to find a career in the Zhizhou Mansion through this law. The little transcription here is naturally just a step into the body, and in the future, I can't say that we will have to deal with some official affairs together, and if I don't see anyone who looks up, I naturally don't dare to offend easily.
Chu Feng naturally didn't know what was going on in Wang Ji's heart, and after only a few more words, Wang Ji retreated very knowingly, and didn't say anything all night.
Around the time of the night team, Chu Feng was woken up by the sound outside in a daze, and he got up to take a look, but saw that the main courtyard across a wall was already brightly lit, and occasionally some voices came, but they were also loud but not chaotic, it seemed to be the correspondence of military attachΓ©s.
Wang Ji's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Chu Feng coming out of the door from a distance, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Chu Langjun, are you disturbed? Sorry, sorry. The outside is about to begin to verify the true body, and the martial artist will inevitably be a little noisy when he acts. Fortunately, it is only this day, and tomorrow will be fine. β
Chu Feng nodded when he heard this, looking out of the Kao Yuan through the courtyard wall, thinking that Liu Zhengqing should also wait in it, and he didn't know if he had breakfast. At this thought, I couldn't help but smile slightly.
At this time, a few more people came to ask Wang Ji about things, and Wang Ji answered them one by one, and there was quite a bit of majesty between the exchanges, which was different from the courtesy when he treated Chu Feng.
"Brother Wang has something to do, so you don't have to delay with me." Chu Feng said.
Wang Ji hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, I have a lot of trivial matters here, and it will inevitably affect Chu Langjun's rest." At the right moment, Lord Zhizhou and Lord Tongju are going to sacrifice and pray for blessings, and all of us need to go to the main courtyard to listen to the admonitions. If Chu Langjun can rest in peace now, he will sleep for a while. If you can't sleep, it's okay, there is nothing to do during the day today, and Lang Jun can rest by himself. β
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for reminding me." Chu Feng smiled and thanked him.
Wang Ji said "don't dare" and went to work.
Chu Feng stood in place and listened to it for a long time, always trying to identify Liu Zhengqing's voice from the gradually lively and noisy voices.
I also knew that this was almost impossible, and after listening to it for a while, I gave up.
I was about to go back to my room and squint, but I felt the gaze of others. I went to take a look, but I saw two people standing in the opposite wing, with long clothes and belts, who looked like scholars, and they must have copied them with Chu Feng.
I want to come forward to pay a visit, and I feel that I look like this now, and the first time I met is inevitably a little frivolous, and the same is true for the other party, it is not too late to introduce it in detail after dawn. So he just arched his hand to the opposite side, and then turned and went back to the room.
"Huh! Dog fights people! β
Chu Feng naturally couldn't hear the words on the other side.
"I don't know what kind of character can make Wang Ji so slippery."
"What kind of character could it be? It's just a waste who can't even pass the imperial examination! β
