Chapter 107 Eyes
While Zhao Wangshu and Li Lingjuan were shopping, Zhao Yin was thinking about the four book questions while inkstone.
Be confident and confident when writing.
Within an hour, his first inscription on the Four Books was completed.
Having to stay in this examination room for three days, Zhao Yin was worried that the weather would change. Zhao Yin devoted himself wholeheartedly. By noon, he had already completed three questions in the Four Books.
At noon, he took out the water bag, poured half of the bag of water into the small iron pot, and placed it on the charcoal basin. He then took out the rice balls that Zhao Wangshu had prepared for him and placed them on the iron plate.
After a while, the water boiled and the rice balls were heated. I made tea in a cup and ate five rice balls with the tea. I moved my body and sat down to continue doing the questions. " Lingjun, if I remember correctly, you and I made the rice balls together yesterday." Zhao Wangshu reminded her.
Li Lingjuan chuckled twice, "I hope Brother Zhao can succeed in one fell swoop and never have to suffer like this again."
"I just hope that my brother can succeed in one fell swoop. Hit?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a wicked smile.
"There are also my father and Uncle Zhao." Li Lingjuan quickly added.
Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said, "The fried rice is here, eat it quickly."
As night fell and the temperature dropped sharply, Zhao Yin tossed and turned on the wooden bed and just lay there for a while. , I was shivering with cold and my whole body was stiff.
From the exam halls on both sides, there was the sound of stamping feet. It seemed that the two candidates were also freezing.
Too cold to sleep, Zhao Yin got up and added two sticks of charcoal to the charcoal basin in order to have energy to write the topic tomorrow. He remembered that his sister brought him a lot of charcoal.
The flames jumped and the warm breath gradually spread. Zhao Yin felt that his body was gradually getting warmer, and then he suddenly heard bursts of rapid footsteps coming from outside.
He looked around suspiciously and saw a group of figures running towards this side.
“What happened?” asked the candidate with the exam number on the left.
Zhao Yin felt the same confusion. Seeing clearly that the person coming was a soldier, his heart skipped a beat. Something happened to one of the candidates.
Sure enough, not long after, the soldiers picked up a candidate from an examination number.
"Don't look at it anymore. Go to bed quickly. If you look around again, your qualifications will be disqualified." Close your eyes and sleep on the wooden bed.
In the first exam in the spring of the fifteenth year of Chongyuan, this was not the only candidate who was carried out. Two more candidates were carried out in the morning of the next day, and fifteen others were carried out in the evening. On the morning of the third day, another candidate was carried out. Seven were carried out.
If you don’t have good health, you won’t be able to survive the examination.
On the afternoon of the tenth day of the lunar month, with the sound of the cloud board ringing, the first exam was over and the candidates could go home.
The candidates who had stayed up for three days and two nights had a pale face and weak legs.
Zhao Yin followed the flow of people and stepped out of the dragon gate.
A Xiang stood in front of him and saw his young master at a glance. He went up to him and supported him, "Master, are you okay?"
"I Fortunately, the master hasn't come out yet?" Zhao Yin asked.
"Master hasn't come out yet, master."
Zhao Cheng also came out, but his condition was not as good as Zhao Yin's. His face was pale, his head was sweating, and Luo Shan He quickly stepped forward to support him.
He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, "It's great. I, Zhao Cheng, have finally finished this first exam."
Looking at that As the candidates were being carried out one by one, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to make it through, but when he thought about two more tests to go, he felt gloomy.
"Master, are you okay?" Luo Shan asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Yin'er, how do you feel?" Zhao Cheng asked.
"I'm okay." Zhao Yin said.
"Master, you and the young master are both tired, why don't you get in the car first." A Xiang said.
“Yes, let’s get in the car and go home first.” Zhao Cheng nodded and said.
Zhao Yin and Zhao Cheng got on the carriage one after another. There were hot tea and snacks prepared in the carriage.
Back home, Mrs. Zhao and Li had already prepared hot water. The two of them took a hot bath, ate a bowl of meat porridge, and fell asleep regardless of day or night.
After sleeping until early the next morning, Zhao Cheng’s first words when he woke up were, “This test is too grueling.”
He became even more determined, If I fail this subject, I will never take the exam again.
"Master is awake." Zhao Li came in.
"Is Yin'er awake yet?" Zhao Cheng asked.
Mrs. Zhao Li opened the curtain and said outside: "Master is awake, hurry up and pour some water in." She ordered the maid before answering his question, "I woke up early. You slept like this, Master." Are you hungry?"
" He said and brought some clothes for him to put on.
The maid brought toiletries. After Zhao Cheng washed up, the couple came out of the house and saw Li Lingjuan jumping in from the outside, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Lingjun is here, and Wangshu is in the kitchen." Mrs. Zhao Li said with a smile.
“Then I’ll go find Wang Shu.” Li Lingjuan’s face turned red and she ran towards the kitchen.
Zhao Cheng and his wife looked at each other and smiled, looking at Li Lingjuan’s back, Zhao Cheng said: "Lingjuan is a pretty good child. After the trial is over, you can ask Yin'er what she means. If you like her, just propose marriage to the Li family. Our family doesn't care about family status."
"Don't mess around here, Yin'er has no feelings for Lingjun and treats him as a sister." Mrs. Zhao Li had seen the way Yun Hao looked at Zhao Wangshu, which was fiery and affectionate.
This is one of the reasons why she is getting better and better towards Yun Hao. It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover.
The way Zhao Yin looked at Li Lingjuan was calm and indifferent.
"That's it, let's see again." Zhao Cheng didn't have many requirements for Zhao Yin to marry a wife, as long as he liked it.
"If I hadn't been afraid that Lingxuan would be upset and affect Mr. Li's examination, I would have made it clear to the Li family a long time ago. I would tell Mrs. Li and Lingxuan after the examination."
The couple entered the Nuan Pavilion while talking.
In the kitchen, Zhao Wangshu and Li Lingjuan took their maids to bake dried meat.
"My father came out of Gongyuan, his face was as pale as a ghost." Li Lingjuan said.
"In Gongyuan, if you don't eat well or sleep well, no one will look good if you stay up for two nights." Zhao Wangshu took chopsticks and turned the meat over.
"Wangshu, do you think Brother Zhao will get the first prize in the examination? He is the first scholar in this class." Li Lingjuan said with full expectancy.
"Although I also hope that my brother can get the top prize, there is only one top pick, but there are many top picks." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
"That's true." Li Lingjuan said.
The two of them were talking and baking dried meat.
Soon, a scent filled the entire kitchen, and the aroma of meat jerky made people salivate.
"Okay!" Zhao Wangshu took out a piece of dried meat, put it under his nose and smelled it, "Well, the aroma is fragrant, it should be roasted."
Put the meat Place the breasts in bamboo mats to cool, cut into small pieces, and wrap them in oil paper.
In the afternoon, the Zhao family and his son packed up things for the second game.
Having prepared everything needed for the exam, the father and son took a break early.
Similarly, I got up at midnight, took the food prepared by my family, and carried the test box. After being searched, I entered the Gongyuan again and started the second test.
I write the article, you read the article, let’s love each other.
