Wang Tiedan had no money, and the rented house was not allowed to live in him, so he had to live with Wang Xiao and them.

Fortunately, there were enough things prepared for Li Baoping before, so Wang Xiao gave some to him.

After personally sending the two into the examination room, Wang Xiao went shopping again.

The little maid who followed her looked curious: "Girl, aren't you worried about whether your son will pass the exam?" ”

"What's there to worry about, whether he can pass the exam or not, he will always be him anyway, and he will not change in my heart."

Li Baoping is indeed talented, but whether she can be admitted or not, she doesn't dare to pack tickets, and she doesn't want this matter to become his psychological burden.

If you can't pass the test, there is a way to live if you can't pass the test, she thinks it's good for him to help her by her side, and the two can be together every day.

Seeing her heartless look, Wang Daoren couldn't help but shake her head: "You don't care yourself, if he doesn't have some fame, I won't agree to him marrying my baby daughter." ”

Wang smiled coquettishly: "Dad, why are you like this!" ”

Wang Daoren laughed "haha": "Teasing you, is your father and me like that kind of person!" ”

The scientific examination takes three days, during which the people outside can't send things in, and the people inside can't come out, but Wang Xiao prepared beef jerky, flatbread or something for them, which is more hungry, and they don't have to go to the thatched house from time to time, so they will be able to finish the exam smoothly.

In the past three days, although Wang Xiao has nothing to do, he still has to do something, but he is still a little nervous in his heart.

Seeing that they were about to finish the exam, Wang Xiao led the maid to pick them up at the door.

The exam is only held once in a few years, and everyone wants to seize the opportunity to leap into the dragon gate, and no one comes out early at all.

After the bell rang "ding", some candidates came out one after another.

Li Baoping came out first, and I saw that he looked tired, carrying a food box in his hand, and walked towards them.

"How is this like this? Are you standing to answer the questions? Is this tired? ”

Li Baoping smiled bitterly: "If you are locked up in a room for three days, you can't move around, you can't look around, you will come out like this." ”

Soon Wang Xiao knew that Li Baoping was already good, and when Wang Tiedan came out, it was a miserable one.

His steps were weak, his eyes were deep, his face was pale, and he was covered in sweat.

Wang Xiao glanced at him and said speechlessly: "You're too exaggerated, aren't you, the things you prepared for you are not delicious?" Or the proctor is sitting next to you! ”

Wang Tiedan's eyes stared ahead without focus, and he said blankly: "I was deceived, I was deceived......"

He was admitted to Xiucai before, and it took a lot of effort, and the reason why he came to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination was to try his luck.

I didn't expect him to be so lucky, as soon as he came, he met someone who sold exam questions, so he should have no problem with the exam now!

Originally, he saw that other candidates were eating well and dressing well, so he was not happy, and he knew the importance of silver, but later because of the exam questions, he made up his mind to borrow silver with such a high interest.

Who knew that when he arrived at the examination room, he knew that the exam questions were not right at all, and now his previous preparations were all in vain, so he could only pour out all the ink in his stomach and barely finish answering the questions.

Before seeing the exam questions, he was full of confidence, and he thought that after high school, he could get the silver from the imperial court and return it to the king to laugh at them.

Later, after reading the exam questions, he was worse than dead, and now that he was out of the examination room, he felt like he had gone to the eighteenth layer of hell.

It's over, it's all over, so much silver, the hope of the whole family, it's all over.

Of course, Wang Xiao knew what he was talking about, but it was all something he did by himself, and she didn't bother to comfort him.

Besides, this kind of person doesn't know what gratitude is at all, and if you persuade him, he may still think that you are falling into the well, and if he doesn't accept your affection, he will scold you.

"Do you want to go back with us? Or do you want to go back to Lan Village now? ”

No matter how well he did in the exam, Wang Tiedan still wanted to know the result, in case with his own strength, he really got in!

He climbed into the carriage with his hands and feet: "Anyway, I've been bothering for many days, and I don't care about this day or two, I'll go to you!" ”

The examination paper will be sealed by a special person and copied again before the examiner in charge of the scientific examination will read the paper.

After the examiner finishes grading, the top three will be selected, and the emperor will personally take the palace examination to select the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua.

Although there are so many candidates in the country, the emperor arranged for enough invigilators to mark the papers, and in just two days, it was announced that the results would be released.

On the day of the release, Li Baoping and Wang Xiao cleaned up and went to find Wang Tiedan, but he hid in the house and said nothing.

Thinking of his thoughtless and listless appearance in the past two days, Wang Xiao still sympathized with him.

Since he didn't go, Wang Xiao and the others were not reluctant, and the two got into the carriage and went to the door of Zhang Bang's mansion.

By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of people around, all candidates waiting to see their test results, and of course, those from the gambling house.

The scientific expedition is a grand event in the northern part of the country, and every scientific expedition not only makes Beijing lively, but also makes a lot of money in the inn restaurant.

The gambling house took advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit.

There is a gambling house behind someone, and there is gossip, and it is basically certain who the champion is this time, and he can make a lot of money.

If there is no grapevine, although you make a small profit, you will never lose money.

Some of them sat under the trees and talked, some walked around anxiously, and some were discussing with great interest who might be in high school this time.

After Wang Xiao glanced outside, he lowered the curtain and pushed his shoulder with a narrow face: "Are you nervous?" ”

"Anyway, I've already passed the exam, as for whether I will go to high school, it's already doomed, and it doesn't seem to be useful to be nervous now."

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Very conscious!" ”

While the two were talking, they heard a noise outside, followed by the voice of the yamen clerk: "Far away, how can I put the list on you so crowded." ”

Hearing this voice, Wang Xiao immediately lifted the curtain and was about to jump off, but was stopped by Li Baoping: "You stay in the car with peace of mind, I'll go!" ”

Wang smiled and nodded, and sat obediently in the car without moving.

Seeing his figure submerged into the crowd, Wang Xiao retracted her gaze, it was the first time she witnessed the scientific expedition, and she must stay in Beijing when the time comes, see the scenery of the champion, and see what the so-called three-day street parade is.

She waited in the car for a while, but she didn't wait for Li Baoping.

Such a short distance, just to see a list, why haven't you come back for so long?
