At the end of the hour, the household government office.

The people who came to participate in the assessment have already taken their seats.

Shi Yu and Nie Qingsang looked at the two vacant seats, Chu Yan and the other woman, who had not yet arrived.

According to the rules, if the person does not show up, it is considered to have abstained.

"Brother Huang, if you don't order the postponement of the assessment time, wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turnaround." Nie Qingsang looked at Shi Yu anxiously.

The latter shook his head, "I can find a way to give them a chance, but if I blatantly delay the time for them, even if I pass the assessment in the end, I will be discouraged." ”

"So what should I do, is that all there is?" Nie Qingsang frowned and stared at the two vacant seats, "The opportunity that I finally won it, if I don't even have a woman who participates in the assessment, I'm afraid she will laugh and be generous at that time!" ”

"The only hope now is that before the time comes, people will appear."

Shi Yu looked at the drip used to keep the time and did not speak again.

Nie Qingsang also stared nervously

Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that the time was about to arrive, finally, Xiao Xiazi, who was guarding outside, hurriedly ran in.

"It's coming, it's coming, Miss Chu is here!"

The words fell, and Shen Qingshi appeared at the door with Chu Yan in his arms.

Seeing Chu Yan's appearance, Shi Yu and Nie Qingsang changed their faces one after another.

"How did it get like this!" Nie Qingsang was angry, "Isn't it Pingyang Hou, and your mother-in-law......

"Third princess, now is not the time to talk about this." Chu Yan smiled at her reassuringly, "I'm not late, am I?" ”

Shi Yu glanced at the leak, "No, it's not time yet." ”

"That's good!" Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, motioned for Shen Qingshi to let go of himself, and was about to step forward and sit down.

Shi Yu frowned and stopped the person, "...... you look like now?"

"Your Majesty." Before Yu finished speaking, Chu Yan interrupted her, "The courtiers want to participate, no matter what the result is, this assessment can't be done without women." ”

Shi Yu was silent, she understood that what Chu Yan said was right, she withdrew her hand and nodded at Chu Yan, "Okay." ”

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm not late!" The sound of wind and fire came from outside, and the next moment, a woman wearing a narrow sleeve and neat dress ran in quickly.

"Are you Jiang Xia?" Shi Yu looked at the other party and asked, Another woman who signed up?

"That's right." Jiang Xia nodded quickly, "I'm not late, am I?" ”

Shi Yu glanced at the leak, just in time.

"No, I just thought you weren't coming."

"How is it possible, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's just that I didn't have any entanglements, and I went out of the city to help people in the past two days, and I almost didn't come back. Jiang Xia didn't have the slightest hint of timidity, walked to the last vacant seat as he spoke, sat down and said hello to Chu Yan next to him.

His eyes fell on her injured wrist, "Can you still take the test?" ”

Chu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your concern." ”

"Awesome!" Jiang Xia gave Chu Yan a thumbs up, "Maybe we will be colleagues in the future, so give us a lot of advice." ”

"Hmph, this hasn't started yet, and you're sure you can win?" Among the men who participated in the assessment together, someone sneered.

Chu Yan frowned, didn't pay attention, Jiang Xia looked directly at it, and said with a smile.

"Of course, after all, I can look at the face. But this big brother, I see that your Yin Tang is black and has a bad face, you will definitely not be able to pass it! ”

"Where did the wild girl come from, so presumptuous, she dared to curse ......"

"That's enough." Shi Yu interrupted the man, "If you don't choose your words again, I don't mind letting you really have bad luck today!" ”

As soon as he said this, the man trembled with fright and did not dare to speak again.

Jiang Xia looked at Shi Yu curiously, "You turned out to be the emperor?" ”

But then he muttered, "It doesn't look right." ”

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by looking wrong?" ”

Could it be that the other party really knows how to look at each other?

Jiang Xia looked at Shi Yu carefully, and his eyes revealed a curious brilliance.

But before she could speak, the assessment began.

The assessment is divided into two rounds, the first round is mainly the answer papers, which are some examination questions related to the government affairs of the household department, and the second round is to check and verify the accounts.

There are a total of forty-five candidates who come this time, and according to the rules, fifteen people will be selected in the first round to enter the second round of assessment.

After the second round, five people were able to enter the household department.

But this does not mean the end, there will be another assessment period after three months, and in the end only two people will be able to stay.

Although even if it passes, it is only a few small officials who are busy in the household department on weekdays, and they can barely be regarded as nine grades, but after all, they can be regarded as stepping into the official career, so in the hearts of many people, this errand is still very popular.

The initial number of applicants was in the hundreds, and a preliminary screening was carried out at the time of registration to control the number of people at the current scale.

At the beginning of the answer sheet, no one is allowed to stay on site except for the candidates and invigilators.

Shi Yu and the others moved to the corridor in the distance, and Shen Qingshi finished talking about the ins and outs of the matter.

"I really don't know, Chu Yan can hold on." Nie Qingsang looked in Chu Yan's direction with worried eyes.

My wrist hurts, and every word I write, I'm afraid it hurts.

"She'll hold on." Shi Yu also looked at Chu Yan, "I believe in her." ”

Shen Qingshi stood aside, the eyes that he used to stare at Shi Yu in the past looked at Chu Yan intently at the moment.

After a long time, she seemed to be talking to herself, and said softly: "She will hold on, she will." ”

Half an hour later, the first round of answering questions was over, and Shi Yu had already asked people to find a doctor to wait.

As soon as the answer was over, he immediately bandaged Chu Yan's wound.

The results will be announced tomorrow, and the second round of assessment will be the day after tomorrow, and the other candidates will leave one after another.

The man who was reprimanded by Shi Yu before, because he regretted his gaffe, actually angered the emperor, and he was absent-minded during the whole answering process, and he didn't answer a few questions at all. In the end, he left in despair, but he really responded to Jiang Xia's bad luck.

As for Jiang Xia, she packed her things slowly and did not leave immediately.

Chu Yan's palms and wrists, which were originally bleeding, had already formed a layer of blood scabs, and they were all red and swollen.

After examination, the doctor found that the scabbed area was stained with a lot of rope debris and fine dust on the wall, and all the wounds had to be carefully cleaned before they could be bandaged with medicine.

"Miss Chu, I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry when I came over, and I didn't bring painkillers with me, I'm afraid it will hurt a little when I clean it up later."

Chu Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay, there is Imperial Doctor Lao." ”

But at the beginning, the strong stinging pain at the wound made her almost unable to hold back her tears.

"Use this!" Jiang Xia smiled and handed over a small porcelain bottle, "The best hemp is boiling, thirty taels of silver a bottle, the goods are genuine, Tong Su is not bullied!" ”

The imperial doctor took the medicine and smelled it, "It is indeed a good medicine, but thirty taels of silver is really ......."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xia took the medicine back again, "Refuse to bargain." ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned and he looked at Shi Yu with a smile.

"Of course, if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to let me live in the palace for a period of time, then this medicine can be given to you for free."
