I don’t know if it’s because good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, or if I’m mostly unfaithful in my studies, I often slaughter dogs for a long time. After sitting for a whole morning, Gu Qingling heard no less than five versions of "Chen Shimei".

It’s a pity that the wife in the story shared the poverty but not the preciousness. In the end, they all made wedding dresses for others.

I was only worried about the physical condition of Yao Erye and Yao Anhong in the examination room, but now I got better. Mrs. Yao Er was in a worse mood. She didn't know whether she should pray that her man would pass the exam or expect him to fail the exam.

Forget it, I still can't pass the exam.

Mr. Yao only has that little skill, and he doesn’t seem to be able to pass the exam.

If you want to pass the exam, her son, Brother Hong, will pass the exam.

...

When it was lunch time, Gu Qingling took everyone away. Adults could stay hungry and not eat hungry, but there were still a bunch of children at home.

Because he got up too early, Gu Qingling was unable to wake up his granddaughter and grandson, so he took Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao Er, and Mrs. Yao San to give it to him, and the others stayed at home.

Sure enough, after returning home, Yao Anxin, Yao Anyi and Yao Anling were already waiting there.

Yao Anling rushed forward and asked them why they had been back for so long and how they were doing with their brother.

Mrs. Yao Er held her hand and felt her hand was a little cold. She told her to wear more clothes and said, "It's okay, they all went in and would not come out tomorrow. We just waited outside for a while, are you hungry? Then someone will bring lunch here later."

"Yeah, I'm a little hungry, I want to eat..." Yao Anling Balabala directly reported a bunch of dishes.

Gu Qingling immediately laughed and joked that Yao Anling was a little greedy cat and was about to eat poor family. Fortunately, this girl belongs to her own family. If she belongs to someone else, she would probably go hungry.

Yao Anling pouted and said bluntly that she was not a little greedy cat, and the dishes she ordered were not what she loved alone, as well as the cousin and cousin.

"Yes, yes, you are not a little greedy cat, we are all greedy..." Gu Qingling said, everyone in the room was amused by Yao Anling's cute expression.

After a while, lunch came on.

On the other side, Mr. Yao, Mr. Yao Second Master, Mr. Yao San, and Yao Anhong have already taken their numbers to their own room.

Their luck is pretty good, they are divided into the middle position, far from the stinky numeral.

Fortunately, these young men who came out of the wealthy nest were specially trained by Gu Qingling, otherwise they would have to be blinded when they were on the exam.

The room size is not big, just enough for an adult man to be tall. There is a board at the door, which can be used as a table or as a bed.

After Yao Anhong arrived, the first thing he did was to organize his room number, put things back into place, and put them in the place he was used to. When he placed it, he did not forget to look at the sky and was sure that it would not look like it would rain. Then he put the wooden boards in the room number, spread a thin quilt, and made it look like a bed.

You can bring your own stove for the exam. Yao Anhong asked the yamen runners who were inspecting to ask for some water, so he burned a pot of hot water for himself to drink.

After the hot water was boiled, Yao Anhong cooked a bowl of thin noodles for himself, accompanied by special meat sauce, and a bowl of meat noodles was freshly prepared.

When he finished everything, it became a little dark.

Compared to Yao Anhong's smooth sailing, Mr. Yao, Second Master Yao, and Third Master Yao are not bad either. The three of them have different hands-on skills, and the things they cook are somewhat different, and the taste is also poor.

Fortunately, I cooked it myself and ate it myself, so no one could dislike anyone, so I got together.

After eating a bowl of hot stuff, drinking hot water, and then putting on a clothes and lying in a thin quilt, the four of them lived a comfortable life that night.

In order to prepare for the exam, they developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and woke up at dawn.

The four of them called the passing yamen runners and went to the thatched cottage to clean their hands. When they came out, they washed their faces with cold water in the pool outside the thatched cottage, put tea in their mouths and chewed them, and then rinsed them with cold water, which was considered as brushing their teeth.

There is no way, the exam room has very few things to bring, so they can only give it a try.

The effect of washing your face with cold water is that you are very energetic. They boiled a pot of hot water again, poured it into the pot, and brewed a bowl of fried rice and drank it.

I simply used some breakfast, and the time was just right. The yamen runners came to hand in the exam papers, and the day's exam finally began.

Yao Anhong got the paper and checked it from beginning to end, confirming that there were no typos or missed parts, so as not to find that something was missed after finishing it, and it would be in vain.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent people from committing favoritism and fraud in the exam, no marks could appear on the test paper except for answering questions, otherwise it would be treated as "absolute papers".

The so-called "scrap papers" means not recording the results, which means that you will have a waste of time this year and will come back next year.

Yao Anhong didn't want to make such a mistake, so he naturally prepared carefully.

After confirming that the test paper is correct, Yao Anhong filled in his name, number plate and other information on the seal position, and then started to do the questions.

The content of the exam is nothing more than the four books, the test posts, the five classics, the poetry and essays, and the broad teachings of the saints. Because it is a county examination, the scope of the questions will not be too difficult, and it is basically based on the basics.

However, when doing the questions, you need to pay attention to the poems and essays you write must not violate the temple taboo and the imperial name or the sage taboo. The exam must not be less than three hundred words, nor can it cross the red line on the test paper.

Yao Anhong felt that he was lucky, and he had reviewed most of the contents of the exam, and it felt particularly easy to do the questions.

Yao Anhong thought that it would be great if the next two exams were as easy as the first one. If so, he felt that the possibility of his life was extremely high.

Yao Anhong wrote it first, and then Mr. Yao.

Mr. Yao Second Master and Mr. Yao Third Master will be much slower.

Master Yao San did not have enough knowledge and could not write it as he wrote it. He always felt that he had seen all this knowledge, but he couldn't remember what the content was. He was a stupid guy again. He didn't think about it at first and put it in the back. He stuck on a question and read it for a long time, but couldn't remember it.

Ah...why is it so difficult?

Master Yao frowned and felt extremely painful.

It turns out that he is not a good source of study, and it seems that there is no hope.

Mr. Yao is much smarter. When he sees that he can’t do this question, he will skip it and the next one; if he can’t do that question, skip it and the next one.

One jump, several jumps.

After he finished all the sure things, he turned back to do these uncertain things, and then thought about it and began to recall the wrong questions he had memorized.

I can hold up a few of them occasionally, but I really can't hold them up, so there is nothing I can do.

In the exam room, everyone's reactions were different.

The most unlucky one is probably the one assigned to the stinky numb. Someone had diarrhea on the first day. My God...

He collapsed in a straight way!

I pulled the paper and stuffed it into my nostrils, and then I finished the entire test paper. As for how I did the exam, no one knew.

In the evening, it was not dark yet, and the yamen runners notified everyone that it was time and stopped writing quickly.

Yao Anhong put the test papers he had prepared long ago on the table, packed up his belongings and put them in the exam basket, and waited for the yamen runners to come and lead the way.
Chapter completed!
