Chapter 214: A Rank Decree 21
"Brother, have you brought everything with you? Have you eaten enough? Pack thick clothes. 888 couldn't help but get nervous as he looked at more and more people with the exam basket.
Qi Yuan looked at 888 as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person, "Do you think I haven't worn enough?" β
888 looked at the surrounding candidates and turned back to Qi Yuan, Yangzhou City in autumn was already a little cool, few of the surrounding candidates were thinly dressed, and Qi Yuan's body was also very thick. No matter how thick it is, it should go straight to winter.
888 could only smile innocently, "Isn't it because of the atmosphere that I became nervous." β
Qi Yuan smiled and took the test basket in 888's hand, "What are you nervous about, one test takes three days, and it will come out again on the third day, if I don't see you when I come out, you can weigh it yourself." β
888 was stunned, "How is it possible, am I such a disproportionate person?" β
Qi Yuan looked at 888 and looked up and down with a serious expression, and then nodded thoughtfully.
888: If it forgets to pick someone up, it must be a delicious hand.
Qi Yuan was about to go in with the exam basket, but he saw those people in Yucai Academy with a flicker of his eyes.
As a famous academy in Yangzhou City, Yucai Academy has students from the academy to refer to it every year in the township examination.
However, in addition to the children of the poor families in Yucai Academy, there are more sons of various families in Yangzhou City, who are well-off, so they often get together to participate in poetry meetings.
When the original owner Liang Cai was in the academy, he took the money of the Wang family to participate in this kind of poetry meeting.
In Yucai Academy, there are many children of poor families who are isolated, like the original owner, who is obviously from a poor family, but spends his fiancΓ©e's money to go to the poetry club, and no one looks down on them.
It's just that what Qi Yuan didn't expect was that in the past three years, it seems that the style of Yucai Academy has become worse and worse.
"Wangcai, give me your teapot."
888 When Qi Yuan was thirsty, he handed over the teapot in his hand, and Qi Yuan squeezed towards Yucai Academy with the examination basket and the teapot.
"Borrowed, borrowed." Qi Yuan pretended to be happy and excited to see his former friend, and approached the students of Yucai Academy with something in his hand.
The people of Yucai Academy were stunned for a moment when they saw Qi Yuan approaching, and then remembered the identity of the person.
"It's Liang Xiucai."
The people from the academy spoke, and the smile on Qi Yuan's face became more and more obvious, but then he found the foot sticking out and tripping her.
Qi Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he stepped directly on the instep of the man, only to hear a miserable scream, and Qi Yuan staggered forward as if he had not stood firm.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and laughed, "It's really a poor and lowly nest, and now it's just time for you two to catch up." β
Everyone's goal had already been achieved, and when they saw this scene of laughter, they gloated and lined up to enter the examination room.
The teapot in Qi Yuan's hand had already been half empty, and it was actually splashed on the person in front of him.
"Brother Liang, you have come to the scientific examination this year." Tan Che took his sleeves and wiped most of the wet placket, while looking at Qi Yuan with a little surprise.
Qi Yuan's expression was sneering, "Brother Tan hasn't been promoted for three years?" β
Others may think that they are sarcastic and ridiculed when they hear such words, but Tan Che will not think so.
When they were in the college, the two were close friends and knew each other best.
"If you don't have good luck, you will always get sick when you get to the township exam, how much can you play in the exam when you are sick?" Tan Che shook his head, he was only wearing spring clothes, and he was splashed with tea, and he shivered with cold when the morning wind blew.
"Are you still in the academy?" Qi Yuan asked, his eyes fell on the test basket in Tan Che's hand.
"Brother Liang knew that my family was poor and I was sick one after another, so where could I still study in the academy, so I left the academy a year ago." Tan Che's mood was a little low, his clothes were wet now, and he couldn't survive the first exam after sitting in the examination room for three days.
Xu is really unlucky, he may go home to be a teacher, it is better than spending his relatives at home.
"I was so unbearable when I left the academy, it's hard for you to still talk to me, your clothes are all wet, if you don't mind changing mine first." Qi Yuan looked lonely, and with apologies, he directly pulled Tan Che to the side of the carriage.
"I have also heard about Brother Liang's affairs, and the sage's words and mistakes can be greatly improved, not to mention that Brother Liang helped me a lot when he was in the academy, I believe that Brother Liang will eventually wake up and correct one day." Tan Che said seriously.
Qi Yuan sighed secretly, the original owner was actually lucky, with the support of the Wang family, and he had to be taken care of by the shopkeeper. Even Tan Che in the dormitory is also a rare gentle and righteous person.
"This is my cousin, and when the flood occurred a few years ago, everyone in the family was gone, and we brothers were left to rely on each other. Brother Tan changed his clothes first and was about to enter the examination room. Qi Yuan interrupted Tan Che's move to speak, and directly handed him the thick clothes in 888's hand.
Tan Che held back his words and nodded, took his clothes and got into the carriage.
Qi Yuan looked at the group of people who had just walked into the examination room with the exam basket and sneered.
Tan Che and the original owner Liang Cai are both talented people, the original owner took the wrong path by himself, but Tan Che is a person who is dedicated to studying in the imperial examination, he has not been lifted in Yucai Academy for so many years, and he fell ill when he arrived at the exam, and he couldn't even hold the pen steadily when he entered the examination room, and he could write something.
Now that they have left Yucai Academy, those people seem to be holding on to people. That is, the original owner provoked the Xu family, otherwise maybe he would be paving the way for people like Tan Che now.
If you have no use value, you will reduce an opponent to yourself and stifle all opportunities that may be exposed.
The academy is still muddy, how can it beg for officialdom to be clear. The Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be in its prime, but if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will decay.
Qi Yuan looked at the officials inspecting the entrance of the examination room and stood with his hands in his hands.
Tan Che changed into thick clothes, and as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw Qi Yuan's back and was slightly stunned.
"Brother Liang, let's go in first." Tan Che stretched out his hand to take the test basket.
Qi Yuan looked at the entrance of the examination room and handed the exam basket to Tan Che, "Brother Tan, why don't you check the exam basket and the clothes in your hand before you go in." β
Tan Che took the test basket and looked at Qi Yuan's clear eyes, and an amazing thought suddenly rose in his heart.
Tan Che was like a puppet, opened the exam basket, and a note came into view.
Tan Che opened the note, only to see that it was densely filled with the contents of the Five Classics, Tan Che's eyes widened and he couldn't help but put down the exam basket and rummage through his clothes.
Tan Chezai rummaged carefully before finding a row of small bulges like mung beans on the back collar.
Tan Che tore it off, and the outside of the thing was wrapped in a gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, and it was stuck to the collar.
Tan Che understood more and more in his heart, his eyes were full of anger, and he suppressed his mood and carefully peeled off the tulle to reveal the rolled note.
The note was extremely small, and Tan Che carefully stretched out the note, and it was still densely packed with cheat sheets. The font is as thin as a fly's leg, but it's still legible.
Such a method could not be done by him with the money of a poor student.
