Chapter 381
It seems that in the blink of an eye, another year of spring has arrived.
The three Ye brothers, who had studied for three years after the middle lift, and Lin Hongyu, who was only promoted last year, stepped into the gate of the Tribute Academy.
The examination of the Great Yu State was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor personally appointed the chief and deputy examiners, and the marking officers were decided by the chief and deputy examiners.
Lin Wenbo, who has already paid official respects to the Ministry of Rites, because Lin Hongyu is off to take the exam, in order to avoid suspicion that he is only doing peripheral coordination work this year, he should be the busiest time, but he is even more idle than usual.
Four brothers went down at once, and on the surface, Lin Wan lived and acted as usual, but when the second trial was carried out, Lin Wan unexpectedly learned that Lin Wenbo actually went to the Tribute Courtyard with the Holy Driver, so she could no longer keep calm.
I was surprised by Emperor Dayu's attention to the imperial examination, and I was surprised by the emperor's favor to Lin Wenbo, of course, I had more expectations in my heart.
Tonight, when I heard that Lin Wenbo had returned home, Lin Wan went directly to the outer study to inquire about Lin Wenbo: "I heard that my father went to the tribute courtyard with the holy car to inspect today, but what is the situation of the fourth brother and the three brothers of the Ye family?" ”
Lin Wenbo looked at Lin Wan, who was rarely emotionally exposed, shook his head, and showed a helpless smile: "Brother Yu is one of the candidates, even if he entered the Tribute Academy with the Holy Driver, he still needs to avoid suspicion, so he didn't see Brother Yu." ”
Lin Wan also thought that since His Majesty the Emperor brought Lin Wenbo to the Tribute Academy, he had the intention to let Lin Wenbo see Lin Hongyu's situation, but she didn't expect to get such an answer, and she felt a lot of loss in her heart.
However, Lin Wenbo's next sentence made Lin Wan quite surprised: "But I met the three brothers of your Ye family, their examination booths are not close to the stinky number, although the spring cold is unbearable, but His Majesty is merciful and gave enough silver charcoal, and they are all obedient and wear a few more clothes, I don't know how much better than most candidates, rest assured, they are not bad from the looks." ”
Lin Wan was naturally very happy in her heart, but because there was no Lin Hongyu's situation, it was not good to expose this joy in front of Lin Wenbo.
Lin Wenbo saw that he had given Lin Wan such a big piece of good news, but Lin Wan still had a stiff face, if he hadn't found Lin Wan's smile overflowing in the corner of his eyes, he might have been deceived by her.
Lin Wenbo's heart was slightly puzzled, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to understand the reason why Lin Wan wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and after thinking about it, he still informed Lin Wan of Lin Hongyu's situation, so as not to suffocate this girl.
"Is what my father said true?" Lin Wan learned that Lin Hongyu's situation was also quite good, where could she still suppress the joy in her heart, not only did she smile in her eyes, but her beautiful little face instantly bloomed like a flower, bright and brilliant.
"This is what His Majesty said personally, how can Chrysostom's words be false?!" Lin Wenbo was in a very good mood today, and he actually reached out and gently pinched Lin Wan's face, Lin Wan's heart suddenly swelled with the feeling of being blamed for being light, and he looked at Lin Wenbo with a blank face.
Lin Wenbo also seemed to be stunned by the movements of his hands, and only after a while did he cough slightly embarrassed and said, "Sister Wan'er has anything else to ask?" ”
Lin Wan really didn't expect Lin Wenbo to pinch her face, the whole person was still a little unpossessed, her brain was like a pot of paste, where could she ask any more questions, she just shook her head at Lin Wenbo indiscriminately, and only said in a panic: "I, I'm going to tell my grandmother and make my grandmother happy." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly withdrew from the study, and when he left the study, a cold air came to his face, Lin Wan shivered involuntarily, and his consciousness gradually returned to his place.
Standing outside the study, Lin Wan reached out and stroked her little face, turned her head to look at the study with the doors and windows closed, and walked to Ci'an Yuan to report to Cai's family, and silently recited in her heart as she walked, "It's my father who pinched me, it's my father, it's my father", and it took a few times to suppress the feeling of being light.
When the Cai family heard the news, they were naturally very happy, even if Lin Hongyu would take Luo back to Beijing after taking the high school entrance examination, if there was a jinshi in the second room, it would be a glorious thing for Zhennan Hou Mansion and for the second room.
"After the exam today, there is one more one, and I hope that they will all stay away from the stinky number after that, and finish the last exam smoothly." Chua clasps together in prayer.
As long as someone in the family participates in the imperial examination, everyone has such a desire, but since there is a stinky number in the tribute court, everyone may have a bad name.
In the first and second games, Lin Hongyu and the three Ye brothers were lucky to avoid the smelly number, and in the third game, Lin Hongyu and Ye Qing's examination shed was also extremely far away from the smelly number, and they could hardly smell the smell of rice from the thatched house, but Ye Zhan and Ye Shen were not so lucky.
Ye Zhan was better, although the smell drifted into the examination booth with the wind from time to time, it was not so unbearable.
Ye Shen was a little miserable, and unfortunately he was assigned to the nearest examination shed from the thatched house, which is the real smell.
At this time, Ye Shen was especially glad that he had listened to Lin Wan's reminder, and when he came in today, he brought the refreshing and timid ointment prepared by Lin Wanshi.
Although it can't completely isolate the smell, it can also make him less affected by the smell.
It's a pity that masks are not allowed in the Gongyuan, otherwise if you wear the kind of isolation mask specially made by Lin Wan, you can better isolate the smell.
Because of the special ointment provided by Lin Wan, Ye Shen's last exam was not affected by the smell, but when Ye Shen came out of the Gongyuan, because of the influence of the smell, it was really bad to smell all over his body, making him feel that even his hair was full of smell.
Looking at Lin Wan, who only revealed a delicate little face when the curtain was lifted, Ye Shen refused to take a step forward and waved his hand at Lin Wanzhen from a distance.
This made Lin Wan very puzzled, until Lin Hongyu, who was almost collapsing with a white face, was helped over by two family members, and Lin Wan finally got what happened to Ye Shen from the family members.
Jia Ding was asked by Ye Shen to bring a message to Lin Wan: "Ye Sangongzi asked the little one to bring a message to the third girl, saying that it was thanks to the medicine prepared by the third girl, please rest assured that the third girl is fine." ”
Lin Wan watched from a distance as Ye Shen was helped into the carriage of the Ye family by Ye Damin and Qi Dabao, although she had received Ye Shen's message, she was still worried in her heart.
The power of the smell in the Gong Courtyard, Lin Wenbo and Lin Hongfei, who came all the way from the county examination, in order to make Lin Hongyu mentally prepared, had a detailed description long before Lin Hongyu participated in the county examination, and their descriptions naturally had many examples of candidates who failed due to the smell, which was both vivid and vivid.
However, Lin Wenbo and Lin Hongfei are both lucky people, all the way to the top of the exam, but they never ask if they have been influenced by the smelly number.
The three Ye brothers and Lin Hongyu were also lucky, at least before the last game, no one encountered a stinky number.
Unexpectedly, in the last game of the trial, Ye Shen got a stinky number!
Since Ye Shen deliberately avoided it, Lin Wan naturally wouldn't force himself up, and seeing the Ye family's carriage leave, Lin Wan lowered the curtain and motioned for the coachman to follow his father's and brother's carriage, and returned to Zhennanhou's Mansion with a stomach full of worries.
