Tang Shiyue almost didn't sleep all night, prepared food for these people to take to the examination room, baked meat cakes before dawn, ate one each, and hurried to the examination hall.

From afar, I saw the entrance of the examination institute, several people with torches and lanterns, walking back and forth.

The crowd of black oppressors waited in front of the dragon gate, and under the shouting of the officials, they lined up in a column of fifty people, entered by roll call, and there were searchers standing inside the door, asking people to take off their outer robes and search, and check the examination basket to prevent them from being carried.

Tang Shirong and the three of them also carried the test basket and quickly merged into the crowd, Tang Shiyue and Xu Wenqu could only wait on the periphery.

Lao Yuan could only hear the voices of the roll call and the singing of Bao, and it rang for half an hour before he finally heard the names of Tang Shirong and the three people.

The students entered the roll call, and sent down a dozen pages of 14 lines per page and 18 characters per line, and attached a few blank pieces of straw paper, and then the official sang the name of the Bao Sheng, and after the confirmation of the Sheng, he should sing the Bao Sheng, which is the singing Bao.

Tang Shirong glanced at Huo Qiyang first, worried that he was young after all, and he was afraid that he would be at a loss, but Huo Qiyang still had a small face, and he didn't even look at him, he was more calm than Tang Junchen.

Tang Shirong shook his head, glanced at Tang Junchen, and sat down with the official according to the seat number.

His location is good, the February day, it is still very cold, and the students who are arranged to go to the examination booth or through the hall will definitely suffer, but his position is okay, just in a sheltered place.

Looking at the official parade, Tang Shirong took a long breath and took out the pen and ink inkstone, thinking that Yueyue must be looking at the prime minister outside at this time, or pestering the master to ask questions and questions...... Thinking about it like this, he smiled slightly, and his mood was actually very calm.

Tang Shiyue was indeed as he thought at this time.

Watching them go in, Tang Shiyue's mood was comparable to that of an old father who gave away his son for the college entrance examination.

Seeing that the sky was dawning, she asked Xu Wenqu: "You should start the exam now, right?" ”

"Didn't you hear the cloud plate just now?" Xu Wenqu said slowly: "That's the beginning." ”

Shopkeeper Shen yawned and came over: "Ah Yue, Mr. Xu, let's go up and wait, I booked a table above, and I can see the row here." ”

Tang Shiyue snorted, and several people followed him.

This table was booked in advance by the shopkeeper Shen, and it costs fifty taels of silver to sit for a day, not even food, but the location is indeed very good, and you can see the gate of the examination institute as soon as you open the window.

Several people opened the windows, each holding hot tea to drink, Tang Shiyue obviously didn't sleep all night, but he was not sleepy at all, chasing Xu Wenqu and asking: "You were like this in the exam that year?" ”

"Well," Xu Wenqu said with a smile, "Otherwise, you can't just set a rule for me?" ”

When he thought of that year, he couldn't help laughing: "I was young and frivolous at that time, and before I ended the game, I was provoked to let go, and I turned around and went home without being the first to be killed...... Now that I think about it, it's really embarrassing. ”

Tang Shiyue was very interested: "Who provoked you?" ”

Xu Wenqu smiled slightly: "A classmate." ”

She asked, "Is it good intentions or bad intentions?" Or is it unintentional? ”

Xu Wenqu smiled at her and didn't answer, Tang Shiyue said again: "Then did he get hit?" ”

Xu Wenqu nodded: "Yes." ”

Tang Shiyue asked again: "What was his expression when he learned that you really got the case?" ”

Xu Wenqu smiled, and lightly knocked her with his backhand: "Where did you come from so many words!" ”

"Tsk!" Tang Shiyue was very dissatisfied: "You really don't know how to tell stories, just one sentence, there are no ups and downs at all, and you can't empathize with it at all." Do you do the same when you write essays in the exam room? If I were the examiner, I would have judged you to fail. ”

Xu Wenqu was helpless: "I am writing articles, not writing drama excerpts, what do you want to empathize." ”

Tang Shiyue quietly leaned closer: "Sir, what is that person's name?" ”

As a gentleman, he shouldn't have answered this question, but looking at her eccentric appearance, Xu Wenqu was a little difficult to refuse. whispered to her: "Lu Cang." ”

When he said the name, his eyes were slightly condensed.

When he broke his leg, Lu Cang also came to "visit" him, tore his face in front of the couch, and said something very much...... Only then did he realize that this classmate, who had always been good friends with him, actually had such a deep hatred for him in his heart.

He's really confused.

After getting the answer, Tang Shiyue was satisfied, and asked again: "Sir, when they get the entrance examination, will you also participate?" ”

Xu Wenqu nodded.

The Dayan Township Examination is held once every three years, and this year happens to be the examination period, no matter how far a few disciples can go, he has already decided to participate in the subsequent examination. In fact, if he is admitted to the examination, he can already go to the Ministry of Officials to elect officials, but he just doesn't want to take this road.

Tang Shiyue said: "Then if you can try to get the first, and then take the palace test, won't you have to ask Xu Liuyuan in the future?" ”

"How can it be so easy," Xu Wenqu shook his head: "It was just a fluke before. ”

Tang Shiyue snorted: "What kind of luck is talented?" Blind modesty what! You see when others praise me for being smart, when have I ever been humble! ”

Xu Wenqu didn't fight with her, so he smiled and took a sip of tea, and then Tang Shiyue suddenly thought of something, leaned over, blinked and looked at the sky: "Sir, I heard that it is very fashionable in the capital to catch a son-in-law......

Xu Wenqu choked suddenly, coughed a few times, Tang Shiyue refilled his tea with an innocent face, and continued to gossip: "Anyway, you are old, why are you not married?" ”

Xu Wenqu finally stopped coughing, lifted his eyelids, and glanced at her angrily.

He went home this year and didn't come back until the end of January, because his family had been trying to make him look at each other.

In fact, he was engaged when he was a teenager, but because he offended the officials later, and his leg was seriously injured at that time, everyone thought that he was going to become lame, so the female family found an excuse to withdraw from the family.

Now seeing that he is not lame, and at the same time, probably because of the clear name of "Xu Siyuan", the female family has the intention of revisiting the old things, and he did not hesitate to deny it, and the people who called him did not go, and in the end he almost ran away.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first news he heard after coming back was that Huo Qijing joined the army and was engaged to Tang Shiyue before leaving.

Xu Wenqu couldn't tell what this news meant to him, but he just felt ...... After hearing the news, his soaring Qingyunzhi seemed to have poured a scoop of cold water, and a lot fell inexplicably.

Tang Shiyue was frightened by his strange eyes.

She said in her heart that she was really stupid, in ancient times, Xu Wenqu, who was not married in his twenties, was definitely old, no, there must be something unspeakable about the old man leftover! She couldn't have accidentally poked him in the spot, right?

She hurriedly raised her hand to beg for mercy: "Sir, I was wrong, when I didn't ask......"

She sat back quickly, her neck curled and clattered, better than a rabbit.

Xu Wenqu glanced at her again, then withdrew his gaze and drank tea slowly.

Wait until the time of Shen (15 o'clock) and start to put the first card, that is, the person who comes out in advance. The first person was in his twenties, and his face was full of spirit and self-pride, and he simply walked out of the steps that his six relatives did not recognize.

Tang Shiyue was not too cold, the whole person was lying on the window, and pointed at him with a smile: "Sir, were you like this back then?" ”

Xu Wenqu glanced at her: "I'm not so arrogant. ”

As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard the first sentence floated up, "Brother Siqi is worthy of being a person known as Xiao Xu Siyuan, he is only eight buckets high, and the head of the county case will be within reach." ”

Xu Wenqu: "......"

Poofha! Tang Shiyue covered his face with a straight smile, and even Qingwei, who had been quiet next to him, couldn't help but smile.
