Chapter Seventy-Three: Autumn Season

Bai Suzhen stepped forward and gently kneaded his shoulders, since these days, her consideration for Xu Xian has reached a new height, and she has never taken care of it because of all kinds of inconveniences before, but now as a fiancée, she has a lot less scruples.

In the golden wind, an autumn leaf falls into the lake and blooms with a little ripple.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, it was still dark. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen had already gotten up early, and now it was autumn. To be more precise, they didn't sleep all night, and the two of them meditated all night in the study, but of course, it wasn't because of the nervousness before the exam, but because there wouldn't be too much time for practice these days. And the time to enter the venue is at Yinshi, that is, at three or five o'clock in the morning, there is really not much time to rest.

Since the beginning of August, the ninth day of the first month is the first session, the twelfth day is the second session, and the fifteenth day is the third session, and each session is the first day, that is, the eighth, eleventh, and fourteenth day of the roll call: the ninth day of the first month, the twelfth day, the fifteenth day of the answer sheet, the tenth, the thirteenth, and the sixteenth day of the paper handing in.

Xu Xian specially asked her to cook two poached eggs for breakfast, although she didn't understand his intentions, she also went along with his wishes. After eating and drinking, Bai Suzhen sorted out the examination tools for Xu Xian again and rode them in a bamboo basket. I told you a thousand times not to eat anything in the room. Xu Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was really acting like her mother now. My current body will not have much problem if I don't eat for three days and three nights. Of course, you don't have to eat the things in the room.

Before leaving, Xu Xian suddenly smiled and said, "Let's kiss one!" and put on a posture of waiting for the rabbit. Bai Suzhen hesitated shyly, but still threw herself into the net, raised her head and kissed him on the lips.

Xu Xian smacked his lips with satisfaction and praised: "Sister is so good." Naturally, she was annoyed, so she hurried out.

Bai Suzhen stood in front of the door for a while, then turned around to clean up the dishes.

"Sister, do you want him to pass the exam?" Xiao Qing stood in the room at some point, looking at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

Bai Suzhen scolded softly: "Xiaoqing, you are really, this is such an important time for Hanwen, and you won't come." But intentionally or unintentionally avoided Xiaoqing's question.

Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose and said, "What's the big deal, but is it an exam?" As he spoke, he also came to help her clean up, "Sister, if he passes the exam, wouldn't he have to go to the capital to see that Pan Yu." ”

Bai Suzhen stopped and said, "So what's the matter?"

Xiao Qing said: "What's the matter? Ao Li is like this now, can you pull away? It is impossible to go north to the capital with him." "Although Ao Li already has the weather, if there is no earth immortal-level master to support him, maybe he will give the opponent's earth immortal "capture the king". Bai Suzhen is inseparable from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Bai Suzhen's face changed slightly, and she sighed softly and said, "Qing'er, since I have decided to allow myself to be Chinese, they are all my own sisters, why should I be so clear?" If it weren't for helplessness, which woman would want to have any sisters?

Xiaoqing's voice suddenly rose high, "My own sister, who wants to be a sister with her, and people may not want to be a sister with you, then Pan Yu is not Yun Yan or Xiao Qian, I heard that Yun Yan married Xu Xian was arranged by her." Sister, you have already paid enough for Xu Xian, do you want to recognize any more sister?" She instinctively sensed Pan Yu's threat, which was by no means comparable to Yun Yan and Xiao Qian. And as soon as Xu Xian goes to the capital, he will be separated for a long time, who knows what will happen.

Xiaoqing has always been straightforward and straightforward, and she is always thinking about Bai Suzhen, always afraid that she will be wronged because of her softness. Then he said: "Why don't I find a way to ruin his township test, and then we try to keep him in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so that he can stay with you for a long time, wouldn't it be better." If he wants to blame me and hate me, let him be. Xiaoqing made up his mind that he was to be blamed by him, and it was a big deal to let him be bullied casually. There is no one without their own thoughts, are our sisters not as good as a Pan Yu combined?

Bai Suzhen's face was solemn, with a sense of holiness and solemnity, and said, "Xiaoqing, don't talk nonsense. ”

Xiaoqing was discouraged and said unwillingly: "Sister, look, if Xu Xian goes to the capital, then Pan Yu will definitely try his best to keep him in the capital, others are not as kind as you." When the time comes, I won't go to the capital to see him. I couldn't help hugging Bai Suzhen and said, "Sister, I'm worried about you." ”

Bai Suzhen scratched her Qiong's nose and said with a smile: "You're also worried about yourself!"

Xiaoqing's face turned red, and she didn't say, "Sister, I'll tell you something serious!"

Bai Suzhen sighed and said, "What I'm talking about is also serious, I just hope he can help him realize his wish!"

"What about your own wishes?"

Bai Suzhen smiled: "He will help me achieve it!"

Xiaoqing said disdainfully: "He, he will only make you sad." ”

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "You can't be too greedy!"

Xiaoqing had no choice but to say: "Okay, just your gentleman, just my villain, okay!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Xu Xian went to the Tribute Courtyard in Suzhou in the dark, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was guarded by a row of soldiers, and under the light of a row of lanterns, many students had gathered here. Some of them were talking in a whisper, and some were shaking their heads and reading words alone. There are old and young, just the gray-haired old man, Xu Xian has seen several of them. Xu Xian didn't know anyone here, and he turned around twice alone.

It was dark, but Xu Xian enjoyed a great name, although after coming to Suzhou, everything was entangled, and he did not have any interaction with the students in Suzhou, but there were still a few people who recognized him. didn't say hello, but privately pointed at him. There was inevitably some hostility in his eyes.

The number of places in the township examination is limited, and one more of you will be one less of me. Xu Xian was supposed to take the exam in Hangzhou, but he came to Suzhou inexplicably, and his reputation was far and wide, so he was almost bound to occupy a position, so he naturally committed public anger.

Xu Xian walked around twice as if no one was around, and couldn't help but think of the college entrance examination in his previous life. But generally speaking, the value of this township test is much greater than that of the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination is to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but he is just a college student, and he has to come out to find a job when he graduates. If you want to be an official, let's take the exam! Step by step, you will end up in mud, and it doesn't matter, and you may not be able to do it.

And the township test No. 1 middle school, I immediately made a lift, and immediately had a bright future, supported by the state, and envied by the township, that is, I will no longer be able to operate, and I will not worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life. If you are lucky enough to be ranked in the Ministry of Officials, or find your own way and seal a petty official, it is needless to say. The best thing is, of course, to be a jinshi, even if it is the lowest jinshi, if you release it, you will generally be a magistrate, that is, the position of the county magistrate in later generations. Each of these levels is a dragon gate, the success is the dragon, the defeat is the carp, the division of which is needless to say.

Xu Xian felt that this was similar to the cultivator's "Heavenly Tribulation", and at this time, the door of the Tribute Academy opened, and the two examiners this time led eighteen room masters, neatly dressed, and walked out. The talents all calmed down and lined up. Xu Xian was also in the team, but when he saw that one of the main examiners turned out to be Chen Lun and Chen Governor's Mansion, he couldn't help but wonder, the magistrate was the chief examiner, this is not in line with the rules!

Then it is customary to go to the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius, the sky is not yet clear, and the ancient cypress in the deep Confucian Temple covers the sky. Although Xu Xian also bowed down to everyone, many Xiucai prayed silently. But Xu Xian looked intently and saw that in the deepest part of the temple, the clay statue of "Confucius and King Wenxuan" was sitting high.

But in Xu Xian's eyes, the statue of this master clearly exudes shining light, making this clay fetus stone sculpture seem to be alive. I know in my heart that this is the effect of countless generations of students who have silently prayed and prayed with their own sincerity over the past 100 years, and countless wishes have gathered in it. Although this power of wish is somewhat different from the power of merit, it is not much different in nature.

Xu Xian didn't have much respect in his heart, but sighed with a smile: You who have been in a bad life probably can't imagine that there will be so many believers in later generations! And the real you, in these thousands of years, has also been distorted!

Then he was able to enter the real examination room, in the tribute courtyard next to the Confucian Temple, of course, before that, he had to be searched by the fierce gods and evil soldiers to prevent fraud, and after the search, he pushed and shoved the "charged" into the number room. The soldiers were illiterate and were not very polite to these scholars.

Xu Xian was taller, taller than the northerners, and caused some trouble to the soldier who searched him, but when he swept his eyes, the soldier did not dare to be too rude, and finally sent Xu Xian into his number room, the fifteenth room of the first word. The room is very small, less than 10 square meters, but it is crammed with things. You are not allowed to move around during the exam. Xiucai not only has to cook and eat in it, but even eats and drinks Lazar in this small house without windows.

You can imagine what it's like to stay in it, but it's even more miserable when it's hot. Every year, because my body is too weak, I can't stand this environment, and I faint inside.

Xu Xian had no choice but to let himself go, looking around, the green skin on the wall seemed to have just been brushed, and epidemic prevention was also a necessary preparation for the autumn season. Fortunately, his body does not need to eat, drink or laze, and he is very single, just waiting for the exam.

However, Xu Xian is actually not sure of victory, he has a few catties and taels, he knows very well. Although it can be remembered and taken advantage of, there are so many talents in the world. Don't say that it is Pan Yu, even Jin Shengjie's skills in choosing words and making sentences are far better than himself. I couldn't help but think of Pan Yu's recent letter, asking him to rest assured that he would take the exam, even if he didn't succeed, he would come to the capital, and she would arrange for Xu Xian to study in Guozijian. Xu Xian couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, what a bowl of soft rice! Then he studied hard and memorized hundreds of written articles in the world, although he was not ten percent sure, seven or eight percent were still available.

At this time, a gong sounded, and the question began to be released.
