Chapter 178: Clever Little Girl

The carriage squeaked forward, and the little girl held the corner of her clothes tightly until the carriage disappeared around the corner of the street.

Chen Qiuniang, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Lian'er, don't look at it, the carriage has gone far!"

"Looking at you like this, your heart is set on your husband!"

"Sister Qiuniang!" Wu Feilian lowered her head shyly, as if she suddenly remembered something, "Sister Qiuniang, why are you here today?"

"Weren't you grounded by your parents-in-law?"

The little girl asked a little strangely.

Chen Qiuniang has been pregnant for many months. Recently, Chen Qiuniang's belly has been getting bigger and bigger. Her parents-in-law naturally grounded the cheerful Chen Qiuniang.

After all, she is pregnant with a baby!

In this matter, Chen Qiuniang's father-in-law and mother-in-law gave the death order.

Even Lu Daoming did not dare to refute this.

"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" Chen Qiuniang smiled proudly.

However, the little girl seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, I know!"

"What do you know?" Chen Qiuniang looked at Wu Feilian with wide eyes and asked curiously.

"Of course I know how Sister Qiuniang came here!" the little girl said confidently.

"How do you know?"

"Then tell me how I got here?" Chen Qiuniang asked suspiciously.

"My husband told Lian'er that everything is connected and has a reason!"

"The reason why Sister Qiuniang's father-in-law and mother-in-law don't let Sister Qiuniang run around is because Sister Qiuniang is a bit out-of-touch by nature!"

"I'm afraid that if my sister is too outspoken, it will be bad for the baby in her belly!"

"If you think about it from a basic point of view, it's very simple!" The little girl's eyes flickered. It was obvious that she had grasped the essence of the matter, "Only for children, sister Qiuniang's parents-in-law will agree.

Sister Qiuniang is going out!"

"My husband is going to take the imperial examination, and Lian'er is going to Chong'en Temple to pray for her husband!"

"Then Sister Qiuniang doesn't have an excuse. Lian'er can pray for her husband, and then Sister Qiuniang can also pray for the child in her belly!"

"Sister Qiuniang, do you think Lian'er's guess is correct?"

After finishing her words, Chen Qiuniang looked at Wu Feilian as if she were looking at a monster.

After a long while, Chen Qiuniang took out a breath and said to Wu Feilian, "Lian'er, you usually stay around your husband, but why are you so smart when your husband leaves?"

"Sure enough, Huang Tinghui is just an old fox, and only an old fox can teach a little fox!"

"Lian'er, don't be like your husband, don't follow his bad example!" Chen Qiuniang patted her chest and said, "The evil thing of selling a pair of rabbits for several taels of silver is something only your husband can do!"

Chen Qiuniang still remembers the scene when Huang Tinghui used the "Marriage Rabbit" to trick her into buying a rabbit.

"But Sister Qiuniang wants to buy it herself!" The little girl couldn't help but retort, "And there's also a poem!"

"That poem defrauded my husband of dozens of taels of silver!" Chen Qiuniang continued.

At this time, the little girl didn't know how to refute.

All right!

My husband is indeed a bit cunning.

Just a hint of cunning is not too much!

The little girl thought so.



"Yawn!" Huang Tinghui couldn't help but sneeze as soon as he entered the examination room.

"Who arranged this behind my back?" Huang Tinghui thought to himself.

This scene fell into the eyes of several scholars not far away.

"In February, the weather is still a little cold. I'm afraid this kid caught a cold. The test is not just about talent, but also about physical strength. How can you get good grades without a good physical strength?"

"That's right. Fortunately, I did a good job of keeping warm. This time I will definitely be on the list. I will definitely get the first case and be admitted as a scholar!"

"Liu Gengming, just brag. Over the years, every time you brag that you are going to be a scholar, you have never really become a scholar!"

"You...you...you are about the same, I haven't seen how powerful you are..."

Before the exam even started, some candidates began to fight each other.

Huang Tinghui never thought that he would cause such a thing just by sneezing.

But when he heard someone quarreling and pinching each other, Huang Tinghui's eyes lit up a little.

At this time, can't we do our duty as a crowd-pleaser?

Just as several candidates were exposing each other's secrets, several government officials in charge of the examination room came over.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about?"

"How is it appropriate to make such a noise?"

"If the county master sees this, he will cancel your qualifications for the exam!"

The yamen officer in charge of examination room inspection said with a grin on his face.

After being yelled at by the yamen officer, the group of candidates finally calmed down.

After the crowd's noise stopped, the yamen officer responsible for checking the examination room, also known as "Souzi", searched the candidates' whole bodies to prevent them from entering with copying and other papers.

The ancient measures to prevent cheating in imperial examinations were not strict.

After all, throughout the ages, there have been endless ways for candidates to cheat in the imperial examinations.

Bribing examiners, taking exams by pretending to be one's nationality, taking exams on behalf of others, changing test papers...

Compared with later generations, it is even worse.

Among the many methods of cheating in examination rooms, "entrainment" is the most common and common.

Those cheating candidates will sew some test materials into their coats, robes, trousers, and even hats and socks.

What's more, they are hidden in hair, hat tops, inkstones and other items and sneaked into the examination room to facilitate his subsequent cheating behavior.

Therefore, the purpose of those searches is to identify these people.

However, although some rules are dead, they are enforced by people.

And as long as it is executed by people, there is room for maneuver.

"What you do is an insult to politeness and politeness!"

An examinee was being checked up and down by the investigators, and he couldn't help but said loudly.

"I'm a scholar, how could I cheat?"

"Whether it's fraud or not, your words don't count!"

Lao Souzi has been in this business for many years and has developed a fiery eye.

He quickly discovered something was wrong with the candidate in front of him.

Sure enough, after a while, the scholar who was still shouting just now was kicked out.

When he was kicked out, the scholar was still limping and covering his buttocks.

But even so, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"The louder these people scream, the more guilty they feel!"

"Isn't this just in compliance with the old saying, there is no three hundred taels of silver here?"

"You still want to hide it from me?" After the words fell, Lao Souzi looked at the other Souzi and said, "But remember, this is also a place that needs to be checked!"

"Yes!!" The other searchers said in unison with strange faces.

As for the other candidates, they couldn't help but shudder when they saw the scholar covering his buttocks and running away.

"Next one!" Lao Souzi roared.

When the candidates taking the county examination heard this, they straightened their bodies like a conditioned reflex.

As for Huang Tinghui, he smiled helplessly and walked forward.
