Chapter 268: Female Thief
"Five days? I've never seen such an unqualified scholar as you! ”
Tang Yi looked up to the sky and wailed, from Suzhou to Nanjing four hundred miles of road, to say the least it would take three or four days, barely in time to take the hospital exam, fortunately it was five days, if it was three days, he wouldn't even be able to catch up with the exam, how unjust he should be!
Xu Wei touched his head and smiled honestly: "I don't think you have a last resort, can you ignore this little thing?" ”
Looking at Xu Wei's expression, this guy was definitely premeditated and deliberately said it at this time. In the past few months, from tea to food, from tickets to money villages, Tang Yi's head has been stuffed, and he has no time to prepare, so he rushes into battle.
Anyway, if you do too well in the exam, it is easy to make people jealous, do the rafters rot first, Tang Yi kept comforting himself. When I looked up, I saw that Xu Wei was still sitting there, and I didn't know where to get an apple, and I ate it with relish.
"You want to me off, don't prepare the carriage yet!" Tang Yi pulled his neck and roared, Xu Wei smiled: "Don't worry, I'll tell Jingmei first, he went to prepare the carriage, or my brother feels sorry for you, Jingmei is tired of all the dirty work." ”
"You really care about me!" Tang Yi didn't know what to say.
From outside, Wang Shimao hurriedly ran in and pulled Tang Yi up.
"Let's go!"
Tang Yi couldn't care about anything, he ran out with Wang Shimao, a carriage stopped in the courtyard, Tang Yi got into the carriage in three steps and two steps, Wang Shimao followed, the wide carriage was enough for two people to sit. Tang Yi's face was unhappy, and he complained: "Cousin, I'm so busy and confused, why are you confused?" ”
Wang Shimao's little face became even more bitter, "I have been a junior twice, and I can't live if I am still a junior in the college exam." Brother study hard, can't you go up every day? ”
After a long time with Tang Yi, Wang Shimao is full of new words.
"You brag, I haven't seen a good student forget the exam!" Tang Yi said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go!" ”
"Don't be busy!"
Wang Shimao stopped him and looked outside. I saw two figures running over. Wang Yueying was holding a package in her hand, panting and stuffing it into Tang Yi's hand.
"Brother, there are leather mats, leather gloves, and knee pads, waist pads, and wrist pads, I heard that it is cold in the Gongyuan, you have to be more careful, but don't freeze your body for the exam."
What a good daughter-in-law, unlike other vulgar women, who only care about fame in the exam. Caring about the future of Mrs. Xuan, knowing that she really cares about men, Tang Yi was excited, grabbed the jade hand, and pecked lightly.
"Don't worry!"
Suddenly, Wang Yueying's face turned red with shame, like a frightened deer, and she turned around and ran.
She ran away, and the other little guy ran in front of Tang Yi with big black eyes.
"Big brother. It is filled with Xiuxiu's favorite candy, and Xiuxiu gives it to her big brother. ”
Tang Yi smiled and took the embroidered cloth bag. smiled at Peng Xiuxiu.
"Xiuxiu, go play with the big sister, and my brother will come back in a few days."
Peng Xiuxiu lowered her head, did not move at all, and suddenly stretched out her little hand in front of Tang Yi.
"Xiuxiu too!"
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and caught Peng Xiuxiu chubby. The fat little hand kissed it fiercely, and the little girl giggled and ran into the house, hiding behind Wang Yueying, and picking at the crack in the door. watched Tang Yi leave.
"Brother, come on!"
……
Coming out of Suzhou, the carriage was galloping, Wang Shimao looked at the carport obliquely, with a lonely look like snow, sighing.
"Cousin, there are fewer people in the hospital test than in the county test and the government test, you don't have to worry."
Wang Shimao pouted and shook his head, "I'm not worried about the college exam, I'm thinking, people say that girls are extroverted, and my genuine second brother is worthless in the eyes of others, patronizing and saying goodbye to his lover, it seems that this is true!" ”
Wang Shimao's tone was funny and exaggerated, and Tang Yi smiled: "Cousin, Yueying is a good girl who is thoughtful, how could she forget you, in my opinion, there must be two copies of this thing, and you also have it." ”
"Really?"
"Look at it if you don't believe it."
As he spoke, Tang Yi unwrapped the package and took out the wolf skin mat, mink gloves, and lambskin knee pads, Wang Shimao stared at it hopefully, and the result was all one copy, and finally there were two handkerchiefs, Tang Yi smiled with relief: "I said there would be yours, take it!" ”
Dafang put the handkerchief into Wang Shimao's arms.
The second prince of Wang stared wide-eyed, angry, and wailed: "What's the use of this thing? Tang Yi watched it for a long time, and said solemnly: "The steamed bun scum is also steamed bread, cousin, please mourn!" ”
"Ahh
The miserable howl of the second prince echoed in the wilderness and endured for a long time......
Coming out of Suzhou, the carriage galloped, ran for more than three days, and finally arrived in Nanjing, Tang Yi last accompanied his father to participate in the township test, he was already familiar with the road, he first and Wang Shimao found the Yamen, filled out the application form, and then returned to the temporary residence.
That's the good thing for rich people, they don't have to crowd the inn with other people and eat expensive and hard-to-swallow meals. Tang Yi hastily filled his stomach and ran to the room to rest.
Nanmu bed, silk quilt, Tang Yi slept until the afternoon of the next day, and the lost energy was made up, tomorrow is the right day, everything should be watched, and the most important thing before the exam is to relax. Tang Yi boxed over and over again in the small garden, taught by Tang Shunzhi and taught by Lu Bo.
Tang Shunzhi's boxing method pays attention to the first salute and then the soldiers, overcoming the rigid with softness, dialing thousands of catties in four or two, and using ingenuity specifically, while Lu Bo's means is to kill decisively, move forward, never return, one article and one martial arts, one piece and one relaxation, and the completely different styles are perfectly integrated in Tang Yi.
Gradually, his boxing skills have a tendency to enter the house.
After practicing all over the body, sweating all over his body, all the distracting thoughts in his stomach slipped away along the pores, his body and mind reached his peak, he took a hot bath comfortably, slept until the fourth watch, and Tang Yi got up on time.
At this time, there was already a sound outside, and lanterns appeared on the black rumbling street, and the candidates rushed towards the Jiangnan Gongyuan. Tang Yi and Wang Shimao were no exception, hurriedly carrying a basket full of exams, and Tang Yi also carried a bag of warm equipment to the Gongyuan.
Briefly said that after careful examination and body search, the candidates who were tossed finally entered the examination room and found their positions to prepare for the exam.
When the big guy sat down and the sky was bright, everyone realized that it was a cloudy day, and the clouds in the sky were pressed layer by layer, as if they could reach out to it, and every candidate had a stone in his heart.
Don't rain, don't rain!
God seemed to have heard everyone's prayers, and just after the exam papers were distributed, a drizzle fell.
With a light rain, gusts of cold wind blew through the bones, and the south of the Yangtze River in the winter moon was cold and damp, which was even more uncomfortable than the north. There were two rooms that were assigned to leaky rain, and the rolls were simply wet, and they were directly disqualified.
The other candidates were also shivering, their little faces were blue and purple from the cold, their limbs were stiff, and their handwriting was crooked, not much better than that of a dog.
Among the many sad candidates, there was a heinous guy who sat on a thick wolfskin cushion, with knee pads and wrist pads, and thin mink gloves, which could keep him warm without affecting his writing.
The whole body was full of warmth, with this set of magical equipment, Tang Yi seemed to be open, and the master of the school came up with two current questions, one of which was from "The Book of Rites", and the other was from "Spring and Autumn".
This can poke a hornet's nest, the general text is based on four books, the Five Classics only need to choose one of them is enough, "Spring and Autumn" due to the number of words, difficult to understand, almost all readers avoid the important and light, choose relatively easy "poems", "easy" category.
The cold content, coupled with the interception questions, has skyrocketed in difficulty, to the extent that it breaks the table, and more than half of the candidates don't know what to do, and they can't even solve the question, let alone write a flowery article.
"Master Tixue, we are not convinced, how can you be so questionable? Isn't that bullying? ”
"yes, yes, it's just embarrassing for us!"
……
"Quiet, who dares to make a noise again, not only will they not only take the exam today, but they will not be qualified in the future!"
Well, all of a sudden, everyone closed their mouths and obediently lowered their heads, but their eyes were full of indignation.
Tixue sneered slightly: "The official knows that you are not convinced, but don't think that the official will accommodate you!" Do you know the eight characters written on the gate of the Gongyuan? Learn from the scriptures and seek talents for the country. Now that the country is like a scorpion, the southeast is rampant, the court needs real talents, take out your skills, as long as you have real talent and real learning, the old man will never miss one, opportunistic, don't want to slip under the old man's nose! From this moment on, who dares to say a word more, get out of the old man! ”
"Answer!"
is so powerful that everyone is so scared that they don't dare to say much, they can only search their intestines and scrape their stomachs, meditate hard, and fill up the exam papers.
Compared with others, Tang Yi has a flexible brain, and has two experiences in taking the exam, so he has long been confident, made a good belly case, repeatedly scrutinized it on straw paper, and then copied it onto the test paper in a pavilion style comparable to printing.
Unhurried, the rhythm was very good, and when the sun was in the west, Tang Yi wrote all the two questions, and after confirming them again and again, he sent them to the master of Tixue.
Master Tixue took Tang Yi's scroll, and his eyes lit up suddenly, revealing a relieved smile.
"Alas, the old man doesn't have to be embarrassed." He did not hesitate to write down the word "medium".
"Let's go back, wait for two days, and the rankings will come out."
"Yes!"
Tang Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, after nodding, he left the Tribute Academy, Wang Shimao came out a little earlier than him, the two of them squeezed out of the crowd and got into the carriage, but there were too many candidates on the road, one by one, hating the heavens and resentments, full of bitter water, scolding non-stop, like a group of cannonballs, just one point.
Tang Yi simply asked the coachman to take a detour and take a small road to go home, saving him trouble. The carriage passed by a narrow alley and was walking ahead, when suddenly the carriage trembled, the curtain opened, and a bright dagger came to Tang Yi's neck.
"Don't move!" (To be continued.) )
