Xinyang Mansion at that time

In the pouring rain in the evening, Xie Yanzhi, who slipped and fell before going out due to the rain, was taking Li Tai and sitting in a carriage borrowed from Ying Lei, waiting in front of the Gongyuan.

Although Li Tai is young, he is clever.

He looked at his master, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he didn't care about applying medicine, but sat there, untied his purse with a solemn face, and took out fried beans from it to eat, and he couldn't help but feel pain for him.

"Master, it's raining too much today, and the Gongyuan may be delayed, so why don't you buy some medicinal oil, can you apply it first?"

"No, I'm out of the way!"

At this time last year, these injuries were considered a small fight for him, and they were not worth making a fuss about at all.

It was only after meeting Yuan Niang that he lived a life of peace.

But it's a little strange today, in the past, as long as you eat something made by Yuan Niang every day, you can manage a safe day.

Today, no, it should be said that before going out, he fell inexplicably in the verandah.

Although he fell due to the rain slippery, he had developed the habit of looking at his feet when walking because of his bad luck habits over the past many years.

It is clear that the roof of the verandah is good, and the corridor has never been splashed.

However, it was such a coincidence that the two brothers, Li Dahai and Li Sanhai, who came to find him, were wearing hats and robes.

When they saw him, they hurried and brought up the water, and in that moment it splashed at his feet.

When he stepped down, the whole person only had time to protect his hands at the moment when he predicted the fall.

There is still more than a month to take the township test, and as long as his face is not broken, he can take the test.

And if his hands go wrong, then what will he take?

At the moment of falling, when he was lying on the ground and was not helped up, his first reaction was that the food made by Yuan Niang failed.

But this is extremely unlikely, he thought, maybe it was a coincidence.

Therefore, after he said that he could be fine, it would not be in the way, and he could go out to pick up people, but until now, nothing has gone wrong.

Whether it's an accident or a malfunction of the food made by Yuan Niang, it's better for him to eat something more.

What if it was Yuanniang's side, something happened that caused him to not eat enough?

Li Tai knew what his master was thinking at this time, and after his proposal was rejected, he sat on the side of the carriage and looked out through the curtain of the carriage that opened a slit.

The college examination in Yunguo is still different from the college examination that modern people understand.

The content of the test is similar to the previous county and government exams, but it is much more esoteric than it.

And this test is three consecutive days, and it is said that there are as many as 20 test papers.

Although it has only rained for the first day in Fucheng today, the rain is unprecedentedly heavy.

But today is the day of the end of the college examination, so there are many people who come to pick up people.

They were either wearing robes and hats, or riding in horse-drawn carts, ox-carts and donkey carts, in short, outside the gate of the Gongyuan, there were still crowds of people.

It's just that no one is talking, and no one is in the mood to talk.

One by one, I hope that my family's luck will be better.

They all know that in the years that Governor Zheng was in office, he did not repair the Tribute Academy.

Now that the rain is so heavy, I don't know what the situation is in the house.

Don't let it rain heavily outside, it's light rain inside, it's bad.

No matter how high you learn and how well you answer, as long as the answer sheet is wet from the rain, who knows what you wrote?

As time went by, it was not until the carriages and shops on both sides of the Tribute Courtyard were lit with oil lamps and candles that the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was opened.

The people who came out in the heavy rain were not embarrassed one by one.

Some were carried out unconscious.

There are people who are pale, the whole person is shaky, and they are still holding their own test baskets tightly.

There are also crying and hating God for being unfair. Obviously, he answered well in the front, but it rained in the morning, and the test paper was wet.

Of course, there are even more people who go crazy when they come out of the examination room, crying and laughing, saying that they are in the show and in the middle.

It can be said that there are all kinds of people here.

Li Tai saw that people came out, and he couldn't sit still in the carriage, so he took a big hat and stood on the wheel and waved.

"Uncle uncle, third uncle master, here, master here."

In the crowd, the brothers Li Jun and Li Zheng, who were walking with heavy steps, were originally supporting each other.

After hearing this, they glanced at each other, and then came towards the place where the voice came from.

When Li Tai saw that he had called people over, he was so happy that he made a gesture to them that he was going in first, and then he entered the carriage.

"Master, my uncle and my third uncle are here."

"Hmm!"

There was an oil lamp lit in the carriage, and it was clear enough to read the book at this time, so Xie Yanzhi was reading the book in his hand.

Hearing this, he put the book away, and Li Tai hurriedly got out of the carriage with two large oil-paper umbrellas.

Unlike outsiders who are worried about the weather, Xie Yanzhi is extremely calm at this time.

Although Li Yuan did not tell him the specific time when the flood came.

But he guessed for himself, probably June or July.

In line with the principle of just in case, before the Li Jun and Li Zheng brothers entered the tribute courtyard, they were asked to bring oilcloths with them.

He said to the brothers that he had calculated that it would rain heavily in the near future, but the exact time had not yet been determined.

In short, there is nothing wrong with being prepared.

The previous body search of the Tribute House said that I heard that the house had not been renovated for several years, and the roof tiles may be missing.

Now it's hot, and the sun is great, so it's for shade.

Even if someone prevents them from cheating, they will take scissors and cut anything.

As long as it's not cut in pieces.

In case it really feels like it's going to rain, they can cover the gap in the roof of the barn with a tarpaulin.

Whether it was Li Jun or Li Zheng, he was convinced of Xie Yanzhi's brother-in-law, so he did as he said.

God knows, when they first arrived at the house, they really found that the roof tiles were missing.

Let's not talk about whether it will rain or not, just the scorching sun during the day is unbearable.

The first thing others do when they sit down is to clean the house, but the brothers, who are far apart, use tarpaulins to mend the roof.

When they got up early this morning and found that the weather was not right, when others were worried about it, the two cousins were extremely happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, they have a capable brother-in-law, and fortunately, they also listen to their brother-in-law.

After the rain became heavier and heavier, the gratitude of the two to their brother-in-law also reached its peak.

They were different from those who did not have any preparation, and on the third day many of them still had unfinished questions, and they were all lost due to problems on the roof of the house.

And they can sit in it peacefully, calm down and solve problems.

Xu knew that this rain was a disaster, but it was also luck in reverse, and the two of them lost pressure in their moods and became relaxed.

Even the questions that I just read two days ago and found them difficult have become much easier.
