Chapter 118 Which maid is as good as me
You may not believe it, the imperial examinations in Huaguo will last for fifteen days! In this half month, all the examinations will have to eat and live in the courtyard, and even shit and pee together. Yes, they will be together in the literal sense.
Small compartments made of special wood are soundproof but not smell-free. In other words, you can understand the time for the other party to solve physiological problems, but you don’t even have the ability to protest...
"What do you think the second young master is doing now?" Mo Jiu kept squeezing his feet outside the tribute court, as if he could really see it inside.
Hai Shaoyu yawned, "You pulled me over early in the morning to talk about this?"
"Of course not, I'm trying to sell buns!"
"Um?"
Mo Jiu smiled strangely, "Didn't you see it? There are servants and maids of various candidates around him. This is all money!"
Hai Shaoyu frowned and looked around, and asked curiously: "What are these servants here to do?"
"I've asked, and they all came to bribe the examiner."
"Brief..." Hai Shaoyu looked in disbelief, "Is it so blatant?"
Mo Jiu shook his head, "Don't get me wrong. They are not cheating for bribing examiners, but to improve the treatment level of candidates, such as multiple quilts, plus chicken legs for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
Hai Shaoyu rolled his eyes, "It's because of this, then aren't these officials afraid that someone will take the opportunity to bribe officials and send them a reference answer?"
"Or it's not to say you're ignorant!" Mo Jiu said as he pushed the wooden cart over, opening the steamer and replied: "In the entire process of the imperial examination, the imperial examination is the least necessary to be strictly guarded. Because the basic part is not very meaningful, as long as your words are not too bad, just remember to be more neat. The most critical part is the strategy theory!"
"Where did you hear this? Will the strategy not be plagiarized?" Hai Shaoyu curled his lips.
"Of course there is this possibility, but do you all take vegetarians as examiners?" Mo Jiu raised his chin, "The examiners are all great scholars from the Hanlin Academy, and they know the writing style of the entire Huaguo scholars. Moreover, before the exam, the examiners will remember the writing style of each candidate. Unless you can find a ghostwriter from a foreign country, any plagiarism cannot escape their eyes."
"So amazing! Then why did you hear about fraud cases a few years ago?"
"That's the examiner's fraud, there's nothing we can do about it." Mo Jiu spread his hands, "But this time Lin Xiang is the examiner, and no one will believe that Lin Xiang will commit fraud."
Hai Shaoyu scratched his head, "Okay, when I didn't ask, do we want to bribe the second young master? Add a chicken leg to him!"
"No, I'll deliver food to him in person later."
"Hmm? Can you get in?"
"Okay, forget it, I can't explain it clearly to you. Hurry up and sell me buns honestly!" After saying that, he pushed the wooden car in front of Hai Shaoyu, turned around and ran away.
Hai Shaoyu leaned into the car awkwardly. Not to mention, the servants were really here. "It's better for our Chu family's young master, at least he won't be hungry."
...
In a certain compartment, Chu Heng bit his pen in his mouth, half lying on the ground, crossing his legs, and yawned a long while standing on tiptoe.
"You wrote very quickly!"
Chu Heng almost kicked the inkstone with a shock, stood up and turned his head to breathe a sigh of relief, "Why did you come in? Lin Xiang is so nice! He even asked you to come in and deliver food to me? Oh, did you give your skirt to you? Why didn't you see you wearing it before?"
Mo Jiu did not answer and put the food box casually on the ground, sniffing and looked awkward, "What's the smell? With this smell, you can still eat it."
"Just get used to it."
Chu Heng reached out and opened the food box, brought out all the food inside, and then swept the test papers on the table aside.
Mo Jiu lowered his head and picked up the test paper. Under Chu Qingxue's tireless teaching, she had already entered the ranks of cultural people. "Are you answered the basic questions? So fast!"
Chu Heng casually answered with a chicken leg in his mouth: "It's all basic questions that cannot be more basic. As long as you can memorize, you can answer them. The key is the strategy for the latter."
Mo Jiu looked back, "You didn't write a single word, it's the next day. Isn't there any inspiration?"
Chu Heng nodded, not in a hurry at all. Lin Qingchu agreed that as long as he answered the basics correctly, he would not get the last place, hehehe!
When Mo Jiu saw Chu Heng's lazy look, he didn't know what he was thinking. "You can't pursue it?" He said and looked at the title 'Dream Flower Country'? "Is this title Lin Xiang?"
"Yes, Lin Xiang said it was a dream, but it was actually just asking about the strategy of governing the country. Haha, I don't know this, there is no inspiration at all." Chu Heng whispered the rice, as if he was not worried about strategy.
Mo Jiu smiled and said, "What's the problem? Just brag! How come you do it, and you're still worried?"
Chu Heng was funny, and plucked his cheeks and explained while eating, "It's not that simple. It must be based on reality. If you talk nonsense, you will be able to see through it at first glance."
Mo Jiu blinked, "That's even simpler. Who can fit the reality more with so many candidates than you! Just find things that make you unhappy in reality, and then say no!"
Chu Heng was stunned and forced half of the chicken leg to swallow, "I didn't expect you to have such skills. You are such a clever little ghost!"
Mo Jiu proudly turned his head and showed his handsomeness. After Chu Heng finished eating, he went out with a food box. Just as he was about to leave the tribute court, he suddenly remembered whether to say hello to Lin Xiang?
Looking back, I saw that Lin Xiang's house was still lit with lights and walked over.
Dongdong!
"Come in!" Lin Fuguo put down his pen and looked up. The red dress made him stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have recalled some beautiful memories, and his smile became more kind, "It's you, how are your brother okay?"
"My brother? Oh, you mean Mo Qi, he is fine, don't worry!" Mo Jiu put down the food box casually, "I saw that the light was lit here, so I came to see you. I have already retired and returned home, and I still have to come back to be the chief examiner?"
Lin Fuguo poured Mo Jiu a cup of tea and sighed: "Some things still can't be put down. By the way, the Chu family... Forget it, you probably don't care about this kind of thing."
Mo Jiu shrugged but glanced at the table, "Oh? Your son's letter?"
He mentioned his son Lin Fuguo's face and smiled, "Yes, this kid just wrote to me, saying that the situation in Daliguo had changed a little, and it was a bit inconvenient for him to be there, so he was going back."
Mo Jiule was over, "Lin Xiang's son could detect the situation in Dalie Kingdom. It seems that he is a real tiger father but no dog son!"
Lin Fuguo smiled and looked at the food box, "Take food to Chu Heng? Oh, the food in the Gongyuan is relatively poor."
Mo Jiu rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll bring you a set tomorrow. But you have such a strong taste here, can you continue to eat?"
