The scientific expedition of the Great Kingdom is held once every three years, and women reach adulthood at the age of 15 and men reach adulthood at the age of 17, and they can participate in the first scientific expedition when they reach adulthood. From the township examination, to the general examination, and then to the palace examination, it takes three months after the end of the entire examination. And this round of scientific research is coming soon, and students who have studied hard for many years are full of expectations, except for Cheng Xiuyi. Although she cherished the hopes of her husband and classmates, when the exam came, she injured both hands, her left hand was seriously injured, her right hand was slightly injured, and she was in a panic when she held a pen and wrote.

For this matter, Cheng Laosan did not blame Xiuyi, he cooked good food and vegetables all day long, and he was happy.

Cheng Xiuyi looked at the sumptuous meals that she didn't have before, and asked her grandfather speechlessly, "I'm afraid I didn't pick it up, I fought here for three years, and now my hand is injured, but grandpa, you are in a good mood!" ”

Cheng Laosan touched his bare head with a weak heart, and said, "Where, grandpa is sorry for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to open it!" ”

In fact, Cheng Laosan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At first, I sent Xiuyi to school just when I was old, thinking that it would be good for a girl to study for a few years, but I didn't expect Cheng Xiuyi to get the first place again, and her grades are getting better and better. has the posture of passing the scientific examination with a grand plan, Cheng Laosan doesn't want her to return to Kyoto again, and now she hurts her hand, it's really an eye-opener!

Thinking of this, I really can't wait to add a few more dishes.

Mr. Teaching was very depressed, and Cheng Yisheng was also depressed. In their hearts, the seeded player who will be able to take the test to achieve fame has missed the target, and it will be difficult to say if he studies for another three years. Cheng Xiuyi herself is even more listless, lying on the bed all day long looking at the magical bracelet, doing nothing.

In the past two days, many big people from the city have come to Guava Village, all of them have come in horse-drawn carriages with their stomachs, some have been assigned invigilators, and some are students assigned to take the exam here from other places. It is rumored that this year's scientific examination is extremely strict, and each village has arranged three invigilators in the hospital, ten local teachers outside the hospital to supervise, and then there are strong soldiers standing in a row with bright knives on the periphery, and anyone who dares to make trouble will be killed directly. It is said that the official who participated in the invigilation of the hospital this time also came from Kyoto, which is far away, so it is conceivable that the upper authorities attached great importance to this scientific examination.

The day of the scientific expedition came soon, and the sky was still bright, and there was a lot of movement outside. Some students from the city with extraordinary bearing stood directly at the head of the village and read poetry aloud, so noisy that Cheng Xiuyi's dream was shattered, and he scolded a few sour words outside before he got up angrily, pinched his fingers and counted the time to see Cheng Yisheng off, Cheng Xiuyi deliberately combed a two-bun hair, and the appearance looked like two round chirped balls on both sides of the ears, implying that the exam circles were all right.

Cheng Xiuyi nodded with satisfaction, and trotted all the way to the door of Cheng Yisheng's house, and saw Cheng's parents tearfully holding hands to say goodbye, and even Mr. Teaching was saying something with red eyes.

"Mr. early, uncle and aunt early, Huzi early." Xiuyi didn't see outside, and walked over with a big greeting, but Yu Guang was sneaking into the kitchen of the back room, and he hadn't eaten breakfast today, so he might have picked up a bite of white flour cakes.

I never thought that Mr. Teaching ran over with tears as if he had seen a treasure. "Speaking of you, you came just in time!"

Cheng Yisheng also hurriedly ran over and pulled Cheng Xiuyi to his yard, and his tone could not hide his excitement: "Xiuyi, there is a good thing, don't be too happy!" Do you remember Wang Fangfang at the entrance of the village? ”

But Cheng Xiuyi was still not in a state, looking back at the white flour cakes in the boiler from time to time, Mr. Teaching scolded with hatred: "When is it, still want to eat!" Wang Fangfang told me today that her mother promised her that she would not be able to participate in this scientific expedition, so I spent three taels of silver to buy her famous brand! ”

"Xiuyi, you can participate in the scientific expedition!"

Seeing that Mr. Teaching was holding a small silver plaque engraved with 'Wang Fangfang' in his hand, Cheng Xiuyi reacted: "Ah, isn't this a proxy exam?" You must know that if you are caught in the proxy exam, you will be wiped on your neck! ”

Mr. Teaching was startled by Cheng Xiuyi's shouting and slapped her on the back of the head. "It's not okay to wipe your neck, at most, you can't be an official for three generations from now on. Besides, you are not taking the test for others, you are borrowing someone else's name to take the test for yourself, from now on you will be Wang Fangfang! ”

Cheng Xiuyi muttered: "Can you change the name to make it better?" ”

As long as the name is pronounced, Cheng Xiuyi recalls a simple yellow girl's face, and when she laughs, she is still missing two front teeth, and her previous image is clearly a fair-skinned, beautiful, witty and playful peerless genius beautiful girl, Cheng Xiuyi howled directly. "I don't want it! Don't! ”

But it can't be worth the hard work of Mr. Teaching all his life, and he wants to become a phoenix, and when he meets a smart Cheng Xiuyi, he naturally doesn't want to let go, so he dragged ten miles to the front of the examination yard, and many people have gathered at this time.

Cheng Yisheng couldn't bear to be embarrassed, and persuaded him: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I told my husband a long time ago that I would respect your intentions, since this is the case......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a noise.

"Wang Fangfang! Wang Fangfang, have you arrived? ”

At the gate of the courtyard, a silver-haired old man with a spine on his back shouted with a long list, and looked around for a while, as if he wanted to cross out his name with a pen.

"It's coming! Wang Fangfang is me! Cheng Xiuyi raised his hand and ran over without looking back.

Mr. Cheng Yisheng and Teaching: ...... He said no, but he ran very fast. Seeing that Cheng Xiuyi didn't really resist, the two of them let go of their worries a little.

It didn't take long for Cheng Yisheng to enter the examination room smoothly. The township examination will be carried out for three days, and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation will be carried out in the courtyard during the three days, so in addition to the examination hall, there is also a dormitory and canteen prepared for the candidates, and the scientific examination will be carried out for six hours every day, and you can go back to the room to rest after the end. There are about 30 candidates in this courtyard, fortunately Wang Fangfang's position is not far away, Cheng Xiuyi is sitting there shaking his head and reciting some complicated articles, which makes the surrounding candidates can't help but cast different eyes.

It's not that I'm envious, but I feel a little silly......

Cheng Yisheng decided not to say hello and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.

After all the candidates entered the examination room and assembled, the empty lobby was already full, and there was a large distance between each position. The silver-haired old man who was standing at the gate of the courtyard reading the list walked to the front of the lobby at this time and said, "My name is Master Liu, many people call me Liu Lao, and I am one of your three major invigilators in this field." The following exam is arithmetic, the exam time is three hours, during the exam shall not be crossed, looking around, cheating cheat sheets, if you find that the violators are directly dragged out of the lobby, the name is publicized! ”

"It's Liu Lao! I have read his 'Treatise on Husbands', and the idea is profound! I didn't expect to see the deity again......"

"Old Liu, I am a student you met once in Yancheng, Guo Xu, do you remember me?"

As soon as Liu Fuzi's name came out, the originally quiet lobby immediately shook up, Cheng Xiuyi had never seen him but had read the books he wrote, this person can be called one of the top ten most influential scholars in Dalia. Half of the students in the room were red-faced, and they were very worshipful. The student Guo Xu from Yancheng reacted even more exaggeratedly, before he was just sitting alone and arrogantly, and the leader didn't care about greeting him, but now he stood up directly and walked to Master Liu and bent down to salute.

Guo Xu was wearing a melon skin hat inlaid with red beads, and the round hat was not stable when he bent over, and rolled directly at the feet of Liu Fuzi. The scholars who had just been snubbed immediately laughed sarcastically. This is really embarrassing to be thrown home, Guo Xu's face was flushed, and he couldn't remember himself when he saw Liu Fuzi's face full of doubts, so he could only grit his teeth and return to his seat, so angry that he didn't pick up his hat.

At this time, two invigilators with thick test papers walked out of the side room on the left, one was about the same age as Liu Fuzi, with a serious face, and the other was Cheng Xiuyi, who was a little surprised, it was a young looking man, the man was tall, wearing a blue brocade robe, and the dark gold thread on the robe was faintly embroidered with the Huagong banquet, and his bearing was extraordinary. Moreover, the appearance of the man is different from ordinary people, and the facial features such as delicate carvings are heroic. Cheng Xiuyi, a little woman who thinks she is extraordinary, is a little bit of a deer, she has never seen such a heroic man.

The man said simply: "I am an invigilator from Kyoto, named Song Xingyuan, and now I am distributing the test papers, and the exam has officially begun." ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent, and the tense atmosphere immediately welled up. Cheng Xiuyi didn't have time to be a nymphomaniac, she was also a little nervous about this exam, and the last three days of complete relaxation were in the mood of not participating in the exam, and now the right hand holding the pen still hurts faintly. Fortunately, the first arithmetic exam is her strong point.

After the test paper was distributed, Song Xingyuan lit the long cigarette placed on the high table in the front hall, which meant that it was time to start writing, and when the long cigarette was burned, it was time to stop writing and hand in the papers. The smoke rose in a curling air, and the sound of the abacus was crackling in the audience. Cheng Xiuyi didn't bring an abacus, and she had long since abandoned this kind of external assistance, which was troublesome and a waste of time, and the method she was used to was mental arithmetic.

The three teachers kept wandering in the lobby, sometimes stopping at a candidate's desk, so that the students who were originally good at doing the questions were nervously disconnected. Song Xingyuan was walking to Cheng Xiuyi's table, and as soon as he came, he noticed this female student with a special style, her face was round, her head was round, and even her hairstyle was combed twice, she looked silly and cute, and she was not as rough as the girls in other villages, her skin was white and translucent, there was no flaw when she looked closely, and her big eyes were full of aura and intelligence. Now Cheng Xiuyi is frowning and writing hard, Song Xingyuan is suddenly very curious about how the answer will be written in her test paper, but she didn't even bring an abacus.

Song Xingyuan brushed his long sleeves and walked quietly to Cheng Xiuyi's side, but when he looked down, he saw that the girl was wearing three or four silk handkerchiefs tied to her left hand, and there were red and purple marks between the fingers holding the pen in her right hand. He stared at the silk handkerchief in his left hand before he spoke leisurely, "You are not allowed to bring a handkerchief during the exam, this classmate Wang Fangfang asks you to take off the handkerchief in your hand and give it to me." ”
