Chapter 175: Exam Remarks
Just kidding, Xu Huaiqing is here to participate in the exam, and he lives so poorly, what should I do if it affects my performance when the time comes?
After running through most of the capital, they couldn't find a suitable place to live, and both of them were already very tired at this time. If it was Bai Jiujiu herself, she would go directly to Han Zhaoyin for help, after all, this is his territory, and it is not difficult to find a place to stay, but now her identity is a small servant.
It was so hard along the way, Bai Jiujiu never regretted the decision to follow, but at this moment she was a little annoyed. Especially after seeing Xu Huaiqing's tired look, this emotion reached its peak.
In the end, she couldn't help but pull Xu Huaiqing and stayed in an inn for one or two silver a night. I'd rather be more expensive than have any problems, she can make money anyway.
Xu Huaiqing looked at her thoughtfully, according to his meaning, there was no need to live in such an expensive store, but the other party brought out Bai Jiujiu, "Madam said, when you go out, everything is based on the comfort of the young master." ”
"Is it really Madame's right?"
Facing Xu Huaiqing's suspicious eyes, Bai Jiujiu nodded affirmatively, and opened his eyes slightly weakly, not daring to look at him.
Fortunately, Xu Huaiqing did not chase after the root cause, but let Bai Jiujiu breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, they finally found a suitable place to live, and there were still seven days before the examination, during this time, Xu Huaiqing put all his attention on Wen Shu, and Bai Jiujiu became more and more meticulous and careful, ensuring that Xu Huai cleared the reading and didn't care about anything.
This little guy is so intimate, Xu Huaiqing thought that he was the person Bai Jiujiu found for him, and he couldn't help but start thinking about Bai Jiujiu again.
I don't know what she's like at home, do you know that you miss her like this?
Bai Jiujiu rubbed Xu Haiqing's shoulder, reading for a long time is always a little tired, Xu Huaiqing didn't ask for it, but she said that it was explained by her wife, and Xu Huaiqing stopped talking.
There was still a hint of joy in her heart, Xu Huaiqing listened to her so much.
Pressing, Bai Jiujiu suddenly noticed that something was wrong, Xu Huaiqing actually began to wander, and he didn't turn the page of the book for a long time.
What was he thinking, he didn't even read the book, Bai Jiujiu pursed his lips sourly, and with the force of his hand, Xu Huaiqing immediately frowned.
"I'm sorry young master, I got distracted." Bai Jiujiu hurriedly apologized.
Xu Huaiqing glanced at her noncommittally, "It's okay, you go and get busy with yours." ”
Bai Jiujiu retreated from the good and went to the kitchen to order food for Xu Huaiqing.
These days, she orders according to Xu Huaiqing's preferences, which always makes him appetite.
In the blink of an eye, it's time to try it. Bai Jiujiu was even more nervous than Xu Huaiqing, and checked and checked, for fear of dropping something. After all, you have to stay in it for three days for an exam, and if you don't eat well and dress badly, then how can you take the exam.
There are a total of three exams, and the three exams take nine days, Bai Jiujiu can't help with anything else, so he can only ensure Xu Huaiqing's diet as much as possible.
Originally, she thought that she would be able to follow up and serve, but she didn't expect that because of the previous years, there were people who took the imperial examination on behalf of the people who pretended to be small maids and mixed in.
The saint attaches great importance to the matter of fraud in the imperial examination, and the people below will strictly investigate and carry out the investigation to the end in order to show their loyalty.
The faces of the students who entered the examination room were a little pale, perhaps because they had received orders, and those officials did not pay any attention to people when they searched.
Not only did I look through the candidates' belongings, but I also looked through the hair.
In order to prevent entrainment, every candidate is only allowed to wear a single coat to enter the venue, it is originally a cold spring weather, and the students who enter the examination room are not aware of the things outside the window, and only read the sages and sages, and the body and bones are inevitably a little unbearable.
"This official, it's cold in the examination room, can you be accommodating and let Xiaosheng bring a jacket."
"yes, yes, what if it freezes inside."
"We are all scholars, how can we be favoritism, adults must be too underestimate us."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and I don't know which student mentioned it, and the crowd suddenly rioted. These candidates are local leaders and are used to being sought after. The officials searched like this, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as if they had found an outlet to vent, and expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.
The official was not as flustered as they imagined, but just looked at them coldly, "The Holy Order, we are just doing things according to orders." Are you questioning Your Majesty's decision? ”
"This ......"
The person who was the happiest person who shouted before, but at this time there was no sound at all, and he lowered his head and shrank himself to the back of the crowd, for fear that the other party would see him.
The official at the head sneered, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Bully the soft and fear the hard.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a voice broke the silence. "Master Li, we found this thing on one of the candidates."
Master Li took the things handed over by his subordinates, and an indescribable strangeness appeared on his face. After a long time, he shook the things in his hand with a smile, "That's what you said, there will be no favoritism?" ”
The dense small words on the paper are like a violent slap in the face, making the face of the person who said it hot.
"Order, intensify the search, and absolutely not let go of anyone who is lucky. As for this entrainment cheat sheet, let's do what to do. Master Li let go of his hand casually.
The cheat sheet landed lightly at the candidates' feet, making them shiver involuntarily. But at this moment, they didn't dare to say anything more, especially after seeing the entrained candidate being pulled out by the official.
It was an old man over fifty years old, obviously he had taken the exam many times, and this time was probably his last scientific examination, so he took the risk. Perhaps knowing that he had no hope, the old examinee seemed to be taken away and angry, and was dragged out of the examination room step by step.
This episode made the discordant sound dissipate a lot. Candidates lined up to enter the examination room, and with a creak, the door of the Gongyuan was shut. For the next three days, no matter what happened inside, the door would not be opened.
Bai Jiujiu, like all the people who accompanied him, looked at Xu Huaiqing's back worriedly and disappeared behind the door.
Although she was extremely anxious in her heart, there was nothing she could do, the only thing she could do now was to wait for Xu Huaiqing to come out safely.
On the other side, Xu Huaiqing followed the crowd to find his room. Although Enko is not allowed to wear jackets this year, fortunately, his room is in a sheltered corner, which is much warmer than those outlets.
