Chapter 104: The Exam Begins

"I want to hear about it." Xie Qingyu listened to what Qin Zixuan said, and he could summarize it in one sentence, although it was difficult, but there was also a way to borrow it.

"All the money lent from me will be returned twice, and I have never traded at a loss." Qin Zixuan looked at the rather hopeful expression on Xie Qingyu's face, and also shook his head with a chuckle.

"Okay, I promise you." After listening to Qin Zixuan's words, Xie Qingyu thought about it very seriously, doubling it is really a lot of money, but if Xie Youruo can be knocked down, this hundred taels of silver will be worth it!

"You and I meet in the water, so how can I believe you?" Qin Zixuan also didn't expect Xie Qingyu to agree in one bite, and her expression was also a little stunned, is this Xie Qingyu really stupid or has other plans?

"I can make a note for Miss Qin."

Saying that, Xie Qingyu went back to the room to get a pen and paper, quickly wrote it down, signed his name, wrote two copies and kept one for himself, and then handed the other one to Qin Zixuan.

"Miss Qin, I promise that after this exam, I will immediately return it double."

When Qin Zixuan heard this, her eyes gradually became more complicated when she looked at Xie Qingyu, and they became a little obscure for a while, Xie Qingyu was also a little incomprehensible for a while, but she knew that Qin Zixuan would definitely lend her money, because she wanted to see how she dealt with these things in the end.

Sure enough, after a while, Qin Zixuan directly took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his waist and put it directly in front of Xie Qingyu.

After Qin Zixuan left the silver ticket, he turned around and left directly, and there was a burst of emotion in his heart, no one had ever guessed his mind so easily, what is the origin of this Xie light rumor? Is it just a little maid in Jiangning Xie Mansion?

Xie Qingyu really impressed me to see it, just saw that you were so enthusiastic with Xie Youruo, I thought you had one foot in Xie Youruo's conspiracy, but I didn't expect you to directly turn passive into active now, it's really exciting, she can't wait to see the situation on the day of the exam.

"Thank you Miss Qin, he will return it one day." After Xie Qingyu took the one hundred taels of silver tickets, he looked at Qin Zixuan, who had already walked away, and hurriedly said.

Qin Zixuan just waved her hand, and walked out of the examination hall directly, and disappeared after a while.

Xie Qingyu then took the prepared silver taels, and also stepped out of the examination hall directly, and walked in the direction of Shu'an Pavilion.

After returning with the things he bought, Xie Qingyu began to prepare for the Jiucai exam that was coming soon.

She also didn't know what topic she would win, so she had to practice most of them, but she was not very proficient, but in terms of interpretation, it was quite simple for her, after all, it belonged to the literary test, so she had more room to play at will.

In the next few days, Xie Qingyu spent time reading books, and sometimes he couldn't remember things, so he wrote them down and continued to meditate, mostly in the middle of the night, the lights in Xie Qingyu's room were still not extinguished.

Xie Qingyu was studying during the day, but at night, she took out the same brush she bought in Shu'an Pavilion that day and was exactly the same as herself, she did it very seriously, first cut off the top of the brush, and then took out a hollow hole inside.

Every day I pretend to be nothing, and in private, the lights at night are not gradually extinguished until dawn.

She knew that she couldn't lose this time, and she must not lose, her mother was still waiting for her to find an antidote for her, and the agreement with the old lady made her dare not forget.

Xie Youruo tomorrow, we will come to calculate the general account at one time, and I will ask you back everything you owe me, what you owe to ingots, and everything you owe to my mother.

Yuanbao was burned by the fire all night that day, and my mother was even more poisonous because of you, you wanted to kill me several times, Xie Youruo, do you really think that I will not hold a grudge?

On weekdays, it seems that I am too merciful, I actually gave you a chance to take advantage of it, but I actually attacked the people around Yuanbao, how did Yuanbao die, I will make you ten times more painful than her, Xie Youruo, you wait and see.

Let's see who we'll end up dying! Xie Qingyu thought like this, but there was an inevitable light in his eyes, and it was mixed with a bit of killing intent.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Jiucai exam, and when Xie Qingyu got up, many people in the examination hall were already ready to go.

The place of the first examination of Jiucai was set up in the Jiangnan Tribute Academy set up by the royal family in Gusu City, and the Tribute Academy was located in the southeast corner of Gusu City, accounting for most of the place in Gusu City.

After Xie Qingyu brought all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he followed the flow of people and walked all the way to Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Gusu Chengzhong has been transformed from an inn to an examination institute before, and it is generally a place closer to Jiangnan Gongyuan, so most candidates choose to use it.

By the time Xie Qingyu arrived, the sun had just risen, and the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan was already overcrowded, and they couldn't stand for a while.

Moreover, since yesterday, the prefect has issued a notice that no ordinary people are allowed to appear near the Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Therefore, Xie Qingyu saw that there were many candidates as soon as he came, and for a while Xie Qingyu was also a little at a loss in this crowd, the exam with the largest number of people she had ever participated in was the college entrance examination, last time she thought that there were enough people in the literary exam, but she didn't expect that today's Jiucai preliminary examination made her really realize, what is the crossing of thousands of troops across the single-plank bridge!

Today's Jiucai preliminary examination, all women in the sixteen cities of Jiangnan who have passed the literary examination can come to participate.

The entrance of the Jiangnan Gongyuan was guarded by a group of soldiers with spears, and everyone was not allowed to enter at the current hour, Xie Qingyu stood in the safe area like the other candidates and waited.

There are two stone lions carved from marble at the entrance of the Gongyuan, which are extremely magnificent, but a pair of eyes of the stone lion are carved vividly, which makes everyone dare not look directly for a while, and they are all impressed by the majesty of the stone lion.

"Today's Jiucai preliminary examination is the beginning, and only those who read the name below can enter." At this time, there was a grandmother holding a piece of red silk in her hand, standing on the high platform directly from the door of the tribute courtyard, and announced to everyone.

When everyone heard this, there was also a commotion for a while, and they all squeezed forward at this moment, but they retreated because of the spears held by the officers and soldiers.

Xie Qingyu only then understood why there were officers and soldiers stationed at the exam site, just to prevent the candidates from rioting, and she thought that it was to warn everyone not to plagiarize.

At this time, following the flow of people, she saw two sisters, Xie Youran and Xie Youruo, and it was Lu Zhuyue standing beside them.

Today's Xie Youran is still wearing a light blue plain Hangzhou silk dark flower long coat, a water-red embroidered plum bamboo orchid hem and scattered flower skirt, wearing a peacock pattern feather satin cicada wing veil with a purple background, and a camellia gray embroidered waist seal on the waist, with a sachet embroidered with white folded branches hanging on it, even if the people around him are already in a mess, but Xie Youran is still dignified and bright.

Xie Youruo followed closely in front of her sister, today's Xie Youruo was also dressed up, wearing a cherry red flower embroidered collar cardigan, a swirl silk skirt with a honey bottom on the floor, a white smoke veil with a silver silk edge pattern, and a peach-like red ribbon around her waist.

Lu Zhuyue was also standing beside Xie Youran at this moment, wearing a moon white sand green stand-up collar middle coat, mopping the floor with a navy blue embroidered lily honeysuckle flower entwined branch Luo skirt, wearing a smoky flower gauze dress, black hair, simply a phoenix bun, a few gilt flower holders inlaid with olive-shaped yang green jade hairpins to decorate the hair at will, but also the whole person's eyebrows are elegant, and the whole body is full of a beautiful and beautiful atmosphere.

At this time, the grandmother on the high platform began to call her name.

"Lu's Bamboo Moon."

The first name to be called is Lu Zhuyue, the head of Gusu, the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River.

Then Lu Zhuyue glanced at Xie Youran, and then walked out of the crowd directly, at this moment, those officers and soldiers also made a gap for Lu Zhuyue, Lu Zhuyue's posture, and walked slowly towards the grandmother on the steps.

Xie Qingyu saw Mama order someone to bring out a carved tray made of nanmu, on which were placed nine identical wooden signs, but they were all carried over, and then Lu Zhuyue reached out and pulled one.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhuyue entered the tribute courtyard.

Then Mama read the name of the next person.

"Liu Shi heard this."

"Yang's Xiaoyue."

"Zhou's Flower Marks"

……

Time passed quickly, and the names that were read in the previous place seemed to be Miss Gusu City, and there were already a lot of people around Xie Qingyu.

Then there was another grandmother, and she began to hold the tray again and read her name.

It's the same routine as before, but this time Xie Qingyu heard a familiar name.

"Qin's Zixuan."

Xie Qingyu immediately saw Qin Zixuan's figure slowly walking towards the top of the steps.

After more than half an hour, it was finally Xie Qingyu's turn to rumor them.

"Xie Shi leisurely."

"Xie's light rumor."

"Xie Shi Youruo."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Youran and Xie Youruo entered the arena directly, because they were already standing in front of everyone.

It's just that Xie Qingyu came with a group of candidates, and he was also behind the crowd for a while, and he couldn't squeeze out in a hurry.

Originally, Xie Youruo was a little anxious for a while because he didn't see Xie Qingyu's figure, and he also poked his head out and looked around.

It's just that after a while, Xie Qingruo's voice appeared in Xie Youruo's ears.

"Is my sister looking for me?" Xie Qingyu looked at Xie Youruo and stretched his neck, as if he was looking for himself, and said directly.

"Sister Qingyu, you can be regarded as here." Xie Youruo saw Xie Qingyu coming, a trace of disgust flashed on his face, but then he changed to a smiling face.

Slut, I really thought you wouldn't come, if you didn't, wouldn't the good things I prepared be in vain?

Now looking at Xie Qingyu's rather relaxed expression, Xie Youruo's eyes flashed a trace of ridicule, today is your death date, I want to see if you are still smiling for a while.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go over and draw signs." After Xie Youran saw Xie Qingyu enter the arena, he was also relieved, and urged the two of them to draw cards quickly.

Then the group walked to the mama.

"Let's smoke a few people." Mama then instructed the maid to bring three identical trays, during which the order of the wooden cards was disrupted.

When it was Xie Qingyu's turn, she still prayed in her heart for blessing and drew a topic that was not difficult, don't play chess, dance or something.
