Chapter two hundred and twentieth(1/2)
As the exam period approaches, the entire Chang'an Prefecture becomes lively. Xue Qing left his home and went to Liudaoquanshan to pass by the county government to see that there are people outside the door, and he can see thousands of people at first sight.
Guo Ziqian said: "I'm the one who registered for the exam... I can't finish it in three days."
Xue Qing nodded with a little sympathy... She didn't have to queue up to sign up. Mr. Zhou had already done it for her, so it was convenient for someone to do things in the morning.
Xue Qing suddenly shouted from the crowds there, and many people turned their heads and looked at it. Most of them were unfamiliar. After all, there were many community schools in Chang'an Prefecture, and there were many private schools in the countryside. Xue Qing did not recognize them, but these people were very familiar with the name Xue Qing and greeted him enthusiastically. At the time, many students from other community schools joined in Shuangyuan. Although Xue Qing had not seen him personally, he heard about them, so he smiled and greeted these students who did not know him.
Guo Ziqian was on the side and was honored.
The school has already started. Although the mountains are still cold and the trees are withering, the mountains are very lively. The students have changed their previous casual fun, and the sound of reading is always everywhere. They are not quick to sharpen their guns in the face of battle. However, Xue Qing's homework has been relaxed. Mr. Zhou is full of confidence in her articles... It is no problem to pass the test, and he will not feel too guilty if he commits favoritism and fraud.
"The articles are not necessary." Mr. Sihu also said, "Look at some books casually... Practice more kung fu, and you can only read well if you are strong."
The night wind at the end of the first month is still whistling, and the cottage is still warm as spring, with a strong fragrance... There is never a shortage of small dishes and wine beside the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Xue Qing said: "Forget it these few days." She wanted to pretend that she was powerless and fainted by someone.
What she wanted to do was naturally not hide from Mr. Sihuang. Mr. Sihuang laughed dryly, but did not force her, saying, "Then I wish you all your wishes come true for your students."
Xue Qing pinched a bean and looked at Mr. Si Brown and said, "It's strange, don't you like to see what I want to achieve?"
Mr. Sihuang shouted: "I am just happy to lose my composure."
Xue Qing looked at him even more and said, "Sir, you are not a monk, why are you calling the master?
Mr. Si Qian sat up straight, slapped Xue Qing on the shoulder with a ruler, and said, "The Master of Teachers! Whatever you want is related to my face and care. What am I thinking about for myself?"
Xue Qing let him hit him, nodded and said, "I said, it's true that it's not such a person, that's right."
Mr. Si Broo spat, pointed out the ruler, and said, "Go out and practice three sets of marksmanship."
Xue Qing took his ruler and walked out. He listened to the sound of the ruler dancing outside and broke through the air. Mr. Sihu breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the wine to drink, with a bit of guilt. Now he was holding the secrets of both sides alone and waiting for the excitement that surprised both sides. It was really exciting... It was inevitable that he would lose his composure, well... Master, why did the monk call Master? The thought flashed, and Mr. Sihu sprayed out the wine that was coming to his mouth, coughing choked.
"Too bad! Too bad! A good word was ruined again."
"Xue Qing! After practicing three sets of shooting skills, go climb the mountain for me!"
The cold wind was in the cold night, and the wooden door was half-closed. The lights illuminated the boy in front of the cottage. The boy was steadily in shape, and he savored his breath together, but the branches waving in his hands were full of fierce murderous aura. When she heard the coughing and shouting from the door, she turned around and smiled on her face, because it was night, the medicine powder applied to her daily face was washed away, revealing her true face.
Ye Mo's skin is white and her face is red, and her eyes are like stars.
......
February is in the blink of an eye, and the social school holidays start from the seventh day of the lunar month, allowing students to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Xue Qing feels novel and familiar. The atmosphere of the exam in ancient and modern times is the same. This county exam is from primary school to junior high school?
Xue Qing sat under the corridor and read a few articles silently, while watching Nuannuan tiptoe walking in the yard. She tiptoe to hold things and play with sheep crutches... Xue's mother told her to be quiet and not disturb the young master's reading.
There were sounds of speech outside the door from time to time.
"...I am from the Liu family... This is what our Wuer lady asked for at Ci'en Temple... Young Master Baoqingzi High School."
"...Who believes it? Take it away."
"...Then this test basket was given by our Young Master Chunyang, right?"
"...Who uses a red gold basket to make the test basket? Are you stupid? Take it away."
Because the exam is approaching, Guo Baoer asked someone to guard the door of the Xue family to prevent idle people from disturbing Xue Qing's study. Of course, the so-called idle people naturally refer to the Liu family. In such a big event, the Liu family will definitely take the opportunity to give gifts and get close to each other... After all, Old Master Liu regards Xue Qing as his grandson-in-law in the Manchang'an City.
The city was noisy but not annoying, but it was a different kind of tranquility. Xue Qing closed his eyes and swayed, and there was sandalwood coming from the room. Xue’s mother, who had always been unbeliever, was burning incense.
Before dawn on the tenth day of the second month, Xue Qing heard Xue's mother murmured in front of the Buddha and prayed that everything would go smoothly. She couldn't help but ask what went smoothly? Others asked for a successful exam, but she asked for a failure of the exam? "There is only my mother who prays like this in the world. The Buddha will definitely remember to let you get what you wish."
Xue's mother was amused by her and pushed her and said, "Don't be naughty, go take a shower and change your clothes."
After taking a shower and changing clothes, after breakfast, Xue Qing carried Xue's mother to prepare, Guo Ziqian checked the exam several times and walked out of the house. Then he saw the neighbors of the slums waiting outside, which made Xue Qing a little dazed. He thought of the first day he went to school last year... The difference was that at this time, everyone did not have the ridicule of watching the excitement, but were envious and concerned.
"Come on Brother Qingzi!"
The only one who can shout the words "Come on" is naturally the group of rude boys who play football... I learned Xue Qing's words.
But soon others shouted, although they didn't know why they wanted to cheer up.
"...Young Master Qingzi will take the exam..."
"...Young Master Qingzi must be the head of the case..."
"...This is a leap into the dragon gate..."
"...Wuwu Young Master Qingzi, you have to take the exam well... My Chanyi has always hoped that you can pass the exam... to make a name for yourself..."
"Oh, Sister Song doesn't mention this sad thing at this time...a big day."
The crying sounds sandwiched in the crowd were quickly covered. Xue Qing looked back and saw that Sister Song was persuaded to cover her mouth and she only cried. Living alone was not enough. I don’t know that the relatives were also very cruel. Well, but now I can only do this first...
Xue Qing raised his hand to everyone and waved it.
"After going here, I will surely win the toad palace!"
This sentence can finally be said.
Cheers were heard all around, and there was a lot of applause.
....
The county government in Chang'an County is very small and cannot accommodate thousands of candidates, but it does not seek convenience to borrow the government government government. The county magistrate also has self-esteem and only borrows the Palace Palace.
The Fuxue Palace is located in Liudaoquan Mountain. The place at the foot of the mountain is very large. The examination room was already set up two days ago. Just like the Cuju dragon boat race, there was a high platform in the examination room for officials to take charge.
When Xue Qing came over by car, there were already crowds of people here. Guo Ziqian looked around and someone called him there. It turned out to be his companions of Zhizhitang. This time, there were ten people referring to it, including Chu Minghui, Liu Chunyang, Zhang Liantang, Zhang Shuangtong, etc., and everyone made an appointment in advance to gather together.
Pei Yanzi was naturally among them. He was already a scholar and was just waiting to take the provincial examination next year. The reason why he came here was not to cheer for his companions because he was Xue Qing's guarantor to come according to the rules.
When the teenagers get together, they must be laughed at.
"Chu Minghui, you can still laugh, aren't you nervous?"
"What nervous? I can't pass this year and talk about it next time... I'm not afraid of anything I'm afraid of."
Everyone looked as he said, and saw an old candidate not far away, and they burst into laughter.
"Chu Minghui, you are shameless, why don't you compare with the little doll over there?"
Xue Qing also laughed, looking at the candidates with different shapes, including old people, young people, gold and silver, and poor families, bustling with people, you can push me, you can squeeze me, you can be nervous, excited or happy to look forward to it... Fortunately, you don't have to be like them, the smile on Xue Qing's face became more and more calm.
"Look at Sanshilang, this is what makes Taishan press the top color unchanged."
"This is because I am confident. Sanshilang is the one who wants to take the top scorer."
"The most people come to send Sanshilang to the death."
Not only did Xue’s mother Nuannuan walk with her car, but Guo Baoer followed her regardless of Mrs. Guo’s obstruction. Of course, there were also people from the Liu family, and Liu Wuer, the master of Liu, also...
"Shameless, what are you doing?"
"Miss Baoer, I'll give it to my brother..."
"Where are you looking at your brother? Look at what Xue Qing is doing!"
My daughter's house was arguing with her coquettishly on the roadside, and the teenagers here were laughing and laughing, which also relieved their tension.
Pei Yanzi said: "Get in quickly, I have something to do."
Xue Qing hurriedly responded that there were so many people in line and had to wait for a while, but this was just right. It was not surprising that the candidates squeezed around and had some collisions. They pinched the collar immediately... The pills that Xue's mother gave her were sewn on it and licked it and she could faint. There was also a packet of blood from nowhere inside, and it would be broken when it fell down later... It was probably so easy to use, so Xue's mother carefully reminded her not to use it until the time was not available.
Xue Qing turned around and waved at Xue's mother standing by the car, and followed the students to the candidate group.
Guo Ziqian couldn't follow him anymore, so he looked at Xue Qing on tiptoe. When Xue's mother muttered in her ear, he turned his head to comfort her: "Aunt, don't be nervous."
Xue's mother looked at Xue Qing's figure and smiled bitterly, and she thought she had to be nervous. The first time she made a pill that had no effect, I was really afraid that it would be effective if it didn't master it well... Why is this so awkward to say this? Also, is it okay if those people arranged it? She was really worried about these literati during these few times, and she didn't know if it was right. It would be great if Lord Du was there. Xue's mother sighed lightly and suddenly stopped when Xue Qing's footsteps ahead.
Xue Qing looked at Pei Yanzi who was walking towards the other side and said, "Young Master Yanzi, this is the one." While pointing to the right hand side, there were dozens of long rows lined up there, with someone leading them in front, and there were servants on both sides to maintain them, and people crowded and squirming.
Pei Yanzi turned around and said, "I am just your guarantor. The county magistrate had someone send a message to me to take you in."
Chu Minghui immediately shouted: "Repent! I should also find a guarantor with only one person."
Zhang Shuangtong snorted: "Chu Minghui, you are wrong. It's not about how many people you protect, but who the protector is." The young man did not hide his jealousy and was calm.
Zhang Liantang smiled but said nothing, Pei Yanzi ignored it and went straight forward. Only Xue Qing's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect this. It was not good, but there was still a chance. She looked at the entrance of the examination room, and dozens of officers were responsible for the inspection, and the scene was a bit chaotic... It was OK to get there.
Xue Qing raised his heel to Pei Yanzi, and a clerk was waiting to see Pei Yanzi and stepped forward with a smile.
Pei Yanzi didn't say much, and after verifying his identity as a guard, he turned around and left without even saying a blessing... In his opinion, this small county trial blessing was a humiliation.
The clerk smiled at Xue Qing and said, "Please follow me, Mr. Xue."
Xue Qing thanked him, suddenly glanced behind him, and the clerk called out to Young Master Xue again and asked with concern: "But what else is there?"
Xue Qing shook her head and hurriedly followed. I wonder if it was an illusion, but she always felt that many people were staring at her... The scene was so noisy and chaotic, who would deliberately look at her?
Seeing Xue Qing and the clerk walking towards the examination room, Mr. Qingxia, who was standing in the southeast corner of the examination room, was blocked by a group of servants, couldn't help but say, "Can you arrange it properly?" and frowned again, "Where is the right person... This is just untiing his clothes in public."
Li Guangyuan, wearing casual clothes, said, "Don't worry."
Xue Qing quickly came to the door, looking at the closer and closer several officers who were preparing to come for the inspection, and then looked at the other candidates who were scrambling to take off their clothes next to him... Step by step, two, three steps... At this time, he could hit three people at once... The officer was still leaning on a whistle stick in his hand...stepped... raised... and hit... confidently.
It's coming, it's OK, it's now...
Xue Qing raised his foot and luck... The clerk turned around and said, "Young Master Xue, please go from here... you don't need to search."
Yi? Xue Qing's face froze...
"Why?"
To be continued...
