Chapter 213: The Day Is Set
This year's spring lifters were lucky, because throughout the exam, the weather was always sunny and the temperature gradually rose, so that the chill of early spring was dispelled.
Mao Tongtong was depressed for two days because of Chen Ruyu's matter, but he didn't forget to pray for Mao Mingxuan.
The waiting is anxious, but the people who are struggling to write in the examination room are even more worried. Ten years of hard work, it depends on the hard work of the past few days.
Some people have sad faces, some people are confident, some people look around, and some people look calm. The huge examination room is really diverse, and there are all kinds of people.
Of course, there are cheats!
Although in order to prevent cheating, the proctors have come up with all sorts of methods. But there are also those who are bold and have a fluke mentality.
No, on the second day of the exam, Mao Mingxuan saw that a lifter in the exam room opposite was arrested. It turned out that he was wearing a dress with a cheat sheet in the hem of the hem.
Seeing that the man was dragged out dejectedly, many people clapped their hands!
For those who have real talent and real learning, the most hated is this kind of cheating person.
With the invigilator's "Wrap up!" This is the end of the nine-day spring festival.
Mao Mingxuan sorted out his test papers and handed them to the invigilator who came to collect them, and then he unhurriedly packed up his pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
When he walked out of the examination room with his things, he couldn't help but be blinded by the dazzling sunlight, and his body shook with it.
"Young Master! You've figured it out! Xiaohuzi, who was waiting outside the examination room early, rushed over excitedly.
"Waiting a long time?" Mao Mingxuan smiled slightly.
Xiaohuzi shook his head and said, "It didn't take long." The young master came out early. ”
"Brother Song is coming out?" Mao Mingxuan asked.
"I didn't see the little one." Xiaohuzi replied.
"Then let's wait." Mao Mingxuan said.
entered the examination room and went to ask Song Mingyi's foothold. When this is asked, we can get together another day. After all, there are still about ten days before the release of the list after the exam.
"Young Master, why don't you sit over there first?" Xiaohuzi pointed to a stone pier under the willow tree on the side.
"You let me stand up, I've had enough of sitting in the past few days." Mao Mingxuan smiled bitterly.
Xiaohuzi stuck out his tongue and poured another cup of hot tea for Mao Mingxuan.
After a cup of tea, Song Mingyi came out.
"Brother Mingxuan!"
As soon as he saw that Mao Mingxuan was still waiting outside the examination room, a smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Song looks so relaxed, it seems that he did well in the exam." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile.
"Whether it's good or not, that's up to the examiner to see. But I'm still satisfied. Song Mingyi smiled, obviously still very confident.
"Brother Song is satisfied, that must be good." Mao Mingxuan said.
"What about Brother Mingxuan? It should be nine out of ten. Song Mingyi said.
"Who dares to say that it is nine times out of ten." Mao Mingxuan laughed and said, "Like Brother Song, it depends on whether you can apply for the examiner's eyes." ”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
"Brother Song lives in that inn? When I go back today to rest, I'll ask Brother Song to drink another day. Mao Mingxuan said.
"Okay!" Song Mingyi clapped his hands and said, "I also have this intention!" With that, he reported the name of the inn where he lived, and the two said goodbye.
Today is just in time for Uncle Chen's retirement. He said in the morning that he would pick up Mao Mingxuan out of the examination room with Xiaohuzi. It was Su Shi who persuaded him, saying that it was too grand, and if Mao Mingxuan failed the exam, it would be embarrassing. He thought about it and felt reasonable, so he waited at home.
Hearing the porter's report that Mao Mingxuan was back, he couldn't help but run to the gate of the courtyard to greet him.
"But it's going well?" He didn't want to ask how the test was, for fear of putting pressure on Mao Mingxuan, so he could only ask so vaguely.
"Okay." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile.
"I'm tired. Your aunt has already prepared hot water, go take a good bath, and eat together at noon. Uncle Chen said distressedly.
"Uncle and Aunt Lao are bothered." Mao Mingxuan saluted.
"Seeing that your face is pale, go and rest quickly." Su Shi also looked concerned.
Mao Mingxuan was not polite anymore and went back to the small courtyard where he lived. He was really tired, too. I haven't been able to eat and sleep well for nine days, and I have to think hard about how to write a good article, which is really not something that ordinary people can bear. Ask him to say that as long as he can persevere, even if he doesn't pass the exam, he is already very remarkable.
The days of waiting for the release of the list are probably the hardest.
Mao Mingxuan was also anxious, but his face was still calm. On the contrary, Uncle Chen was more excited than him, and he had to recite it several times a day. He even asked him to silently review the exam papers for him to study, and see how he would judge them in the eyes of this year's examiners.
Mao Mingxuan was also afraid of Uncle Chen's enthusiasm, so he simply went to Song Mingyi every day to pass the time.
And in the palace, Mao Tongtong finally couldn't help but ask the eighth master about Mao Mingxuan's ranking.
"I don't know! I'm not to blame for this. ”
"Isn't it Baylor? Can't go through the back door? ”
The eighth master couldn't cry or laugh. The imperial examination is not a playhouse, how can it be so casual. This is the selection of talents from all over the world for the imperial court!
"Don't worry, the list will be released in two days. When the time comes, let people keep an eye on it, and tell you as soon as there is news, right? "The eighth master said.
"It's going to take two days, why is it so long!" Mao Tongtong muttered.
"Hundreds of papers, the examiner has to read them one by one, how can it be so fast." The eighth master smiled.
"Okay then." Mao Tongtong said in a sullen voice: "What the master says has to count." The slave maid must know the ranking of the eldest brother for the first time! ”
"How do you know your eldest brother won't fall off the list?" Eight Masters said.
"Phew!" Mao Tongtong immediately jumped up and said, "Don't say that about the slave brother!" He's definitely not going to be left off the list! ”
The eighth master was just teasing her, but he didn't expect her to react so much, so he immediately laughed and said, "Look at you." I'm teasing you! ”
"It's not fun at all!" Mao Tongtong said unhappily. This is a major event related to Mao Mingxuan's future, how can it be funny?
"Since it's not fun, then I'll tell you something serious." Eight Masters said.
"What?" Mao Tongtong asked.
"The relocation date chosen by the Ministry of Rites for the master is the tenth day of the first month of next month, and we have to prepare for leaving the palace." Eight Masters said.
"Out, out of the palace?" Mao Tongtong was stunned.
Although she knew that she was going to leave the palace and build a mansion this year, she had something in her heart recently, and she had already forgotten about it! Now that the eighth master mentioned it, it made her feel very sudden.
Seeing that she was stunned, the eighth master said again: "Whoever the minions in your yard want to take and who they don't want to take, you can start choosing now." Then there are the things in your courtyard, except for some of the books made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to keep, the rest can be taken away. You ask Qingzhu and them to take a good inventory of your private treasury, so as not to leak anything. ”
"Oh." Mao Tongtong responded, and still didn't come back to his senses.
