Zhou Xun had finished answering the question half an hour ago.
Turn over the pages of paper to check whether there are any errors or omissions, whether the volume is unclean, and then modify and copy a few improprieties.
It took half an hour to deliberate on the words.
"Whew-"
Zhou Xun exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Carefully arrange the answer sheets, mark the serial number and question number, fold them neatly, take the parchment paper bag pressed on the left hand side, put it in, seal the mouth, and throw the waste roll into a ball and throw it into the bamboo basket at your feet.
There was a small bell by the wall, and he pulled it.
The crisp ringing of the bell spread far and wide in the tribute courtyard.
Soon two scribes came to collect the papers, paste their names on the spot, paste the seat number, return the nameplate, and go out.
Early submission is allowed, but only up to one hour in advance.
After handing in the papers, the young man stretched his body and glanced at it inadvertently.
There had been an errand officer who had been wandering around the area, and his eyes were always looking at him, and he had already noticed it.
"By the afternoon, it was gone, and I guess it was a failure of the calculations, or some other plan."
"The examination room is the domain of the gods, no matter what you do, it is too risky!"
"It's outside the exam room, so it's easy to get started."
"Come on, I'm curious who is calculating me."
In fact, Zhou Xun also knew that he was very safe.
In the city of the city, there is the city god of the city, and the god of the city god can roughly monitor the inside and outside of the city, but the scope of this divine power field gradually fades after ten miles out of the city.
In the city, if you want to hide from the city god, you can directly use the Taoist technique without being discovered......
"If there is anyone who can hide the spell from the city god, you have to count me first!"
"It must be the use of mortal means, but this is the city of the house!"
In the city, there are not no dark corners, but on the surface, public security is guaranteed, and there are officials patrolling all the time.
As long as Zhou Xun doesn't pick a small path by himself, he will generally not encounter danger.
Out of the examination room, seeing that the sun had been half covered by the sculpture in front of the Gongyuan, Zhou Xun squinted his eyes and yawned.
"The food in this exam room is really hard to swallow, why don't you go to Tingyulou to eat something delicious."
Zhou Xun muttered to himself, and after a while, he left with scattered steps.
A dozen paces behind him, a sneaky errand servant, holding a cup of tea, trotted away.
Hearing the subtle footsteps, the corners of the young man's mouth curved a little.
"It's not in vain that I worked hard to design this scene, and now Wang Liu and Xiao Wu have been taken away by me, just to stretch my muscles."
On the side of the street, people are selling sugar gourds, strings of hawthorns wrapped in sugar, and bamboo sticks are stuck in the grass figures.
The vendor who sold sugar gourds put straw mats on the ground and sat and waited for customers to come to the door, not even bothering to shout.
Seeing a well-dressed young man stop, the vendor who bought the sugar gourd got up.
"This little master, how many strings of sugar gourds do you want? As long as a string of sanwen money, no sweetness and no money! It's all fresh hawthorn and brown sugar boiled at home, which is delicious! Let's have two strings, right? Little master, little boy? ā
Zhou Xun took off a string of sugar gourds and looked at it, the hawthorn was big and the sugar coating was thick, and it was not expensive to sell Sanwen.
"Two skewers, wrap them up for me."
Thinking of Xiaohong and Xueluo again, they were still children, so he changed his words again:
"Wait, two strings are not enough, let's do it again...... Ten strings, a total of twelve strings of sugar gourds, thirty-six texts. ā
Untied his purse, counted out thirty-six copper coins, and laid them on the straw mat.
"Okay, you can take it."
The peddler packed ten strings of sugar gourds with a large ribbon made of paper, and glanced at the amount of money, which was right.
took the sugar gourd and took it in his hand on the spot and bit it.
Sweet and sour, the taste is great, hawthorn is appetizing, and if you eat it on an empty stomach, you will get hungrier and hungrier.
Zhou Xun's stomach was empty, and after eating two strings of sugar gourds, he had already begun to chirp.
With a slight frown, he controlled the flow of qi and blood in his abdomen to stop the sound from coming out.
Then he walked quickly to the Tingyu Building.
Tingyulou is a small restaurant close to Gongyuan, very close, just across the street, a well-known century-old shop.
The restaurant has five floors and faces the river on one side, so diners can see the river from the upper floor.
The shopkeeper in front of the gate is used to seeing students who go to the exam, even if Zhou Xun is a little younger, it is not uncommon.
So Zhou Xun was politely led by Xiao Er to a small cubicle on the second floor.
Such compartments are cleverly separated from each other by various bonsai, screens, stairs, pillars, etc. Moreover, most compartments can be divided into a window, the lighting is not bad, and the layout of the space is ingenious.
Zhou Xun also thought it was good, so he asked.
"This floor is very elegant, exquisitely arranged, which shows ingenuity, I don't know which famous artist's hand?"
Xiao Er bent down slightly, took off the towel from his shoulder, and wiped it again on the shiny table.
While answering casually.
"You're not a local, are you? Listening to your accent, it is from Kaohua County, and it must be a student who came to take the prefectural examination today. Who of us here doesn't know, this listening to the rain building is all arranged by our young owner. ā
"What? Your young owner is famous here? ā
Zhou Xun saw a bamboo sign on the table, picked it up and looked at it, and there were many names of dishes written on it.
Xiao Er saw him pick up the sign and explained.
"It's called a menu, and it's also made by our young owner. Write the name of the dish into a list, let the guest order the food, and serve the food according to the table number. ā
Zhou Xun casually ordered a few side dishes and a bowl of beef noodles.
"Okay, a big bowl of beef noodles, the signature dish stewed black chicken with yam, braised fish, and stir-fried four-color vegetarian dishes. Guest, please sit down for a while, and the villain will go back as soon as he goes. ā
Zhou Xun looked at this private room curiously.
There are screens on the left and right, painted with mountain birds, insects and fish, which seem to be all glass products.
There is a window in front of you, and through it, you can vaguely see the boat in the distance, and the people and objects on the boat have become a scene.
There is a one-person-high bonsai behind him, and inside is a rockery and bamboo, which is lush and pleasing to the eye.
Not long after, Xiao Er came back and brought back a brand.
"This is your order note, please put it away."
Chilled in the hand, it was a piece of glass, made in the shape of a maple leaf, with "Seventeen" carved on it.
"Xiao Er, you guys are outrageous enough, are you willing to use glass as a brand?"
Xiao Er said proudly:
"You don't know! We've got no shortage of glass here! ā
"It is said that the Shaodong family has been instructed by strangers and taught the art of firing glass, which can burn pure glass, which is more transparent than the glass from the Western Regions."
"The young owner took out this glass technique, shared it with the Jia family and the Zhen family, and enjoyed a dividend of 100,000 yuan every year, that is, a monthly income of more than 100,000 yuan!"
Zhou Xun heard "Yiren" thoughtfully.
"Is your young owner famous?"
"Of course, my young owner just won the promotion last year."
"People call the prodigal son back to Xue Pan, and he is talking about my young owner!"
