Mo Lingfeng ate a basket of tangerines, a pot of sugar water, a plate of moon cakes, and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes with his neatly-organized aunts, and returned to the Changsui Residence with a bulging stomach, not knowing how to spend the remaining eight days of the exam.
The next day, she went to Xiongshi Gorge to look at the red stones. On the cliff, she picked up a cracked red stone that looked like the back of a turtle. Yin Nan carried it all the way back home with a straight face and placed it in a yellow sand jar. Keep company with three golden crucian carp.
On the third day, she took her fishing rod to Yuxi River and was fishing among a group of fishermen. Suddenly, a big white goose came menacingly, screamed "quack", spread its wings and beak, and shot straight at the crowd like an arrow.
The fishermen suddenly went into chaos, screaming "Wow!" and running away one after another. Mo Lingfeng only caught a grass carp as long as his thumb. Seeing that the single seedling was eaten by the goose, he became so angry that he grabbed the goose by the neck, threw it ten steps away, and rushed away again. He stepped forward and knocked the big white goose down again and again.
That night, Mofu had a big goose meal.
On the fourth day, Mo Lingfeng went to the temple in Kuanzhou City to worship Buddha. The number of people who came to pray for the Buddha to bless his students was like crucian carp crossing the river. They flocked to the Buddha from all directions. Mo Lingfeng did not touch the ground and drifted with the current. When he left the temple, his horns Her bun was messy, her hair became two big buns, and she went home exhausted.
On the fifth day, Mo Qianlan and her sister went to Yuhua Street for a banquet. Mo Lingfeng cheered up, went to see Ma Long, listened to Xi Qin, and ate two bowls of dry rice. Mo Qianlan and Wang Yunsheng talked about every word. After thinking about it, I was exhausted mentally and physically, and after drinking a few more drinks, I got a headache at night.
The aunts were getting stronger and stronger, making him look like a white chicken. He did not want to pay their respects to the aunts, so he could only linger in the middle hall.
Before he finished the bowl of sobering soup, his stomach was in turmoil. He got up hurriedly and rushed into the official room. He grabbed the servant's arm and bent down to vomit.
He didn't eat anything, and only vomited some water. Instead, he was sweating coldly, soaking his underwear, and his temples were throbbing with pain.
He reluctantly changed his clothes and returned to the house. He hugged Mo Lingfeng and curled up on the couch with him, in a trance, calling him "Aji".
Ah Gu stayed with him for half the night, and at midnight, when Mo Qianlan fell asleep, she returned to Changsui Residence in despair.
On the sixth day, the Cheng family held a chrysanthemum banquet and invited Mo Lingfeng to attend. Shi Qing was also among them. When she saw Mo Lingfeng, she thanked her repeatedly for the bead.
Another girl teased Mo Lingfeng and Cheng San. Mo Lingfeng responded with a cold face. Finally, several ladies gathered around her to inquire about Mo Qianlan's continued relationship.
Mo Lingfeng replied seriously: "Brother likes fair and fat people."
The plump ladies dispersed in an instant.
On the seventh day, Mo's kitchen bought a basket of fresh crabs and put the basket and crabs in the tank to prepare for cooking on the next day. Mo Lingfeng played with the crabs and got caught in the crab's hands, then weakly returned to Changsui's residence. .
On the eighth day, August 15th, the Mo brothers and sisters and Zhao Shiheng climbed to the high platform to admire the moon, eat moon cakes, drink new wine, open crabs, gaze at the bright moon, and express their thoughts about autumn.
Zhao Shiheng got drunk, cried and dreamed.
On the ninth day, it still didn't rain.
If there is no rain during the examination, it is a blessing from God. Otherwise, the paper will be damaged and the students' hard work will be ruined.
The unitary hour is approaching, and the students in the dormitory stretch out their heads and feet, each with their own mood.
A dull boy, a dull man, sleeps like a dream for nine days, not knowing what he is writing. A mediocre person, full of sorrow and hesitation, does not know whether his answer will meet the examiner's intention. He wants to answer the whole paper again, but is surprised to realize that nine days have passed. Pass.
Only those with a wise mind and clever thinking can write down the pen and write it down, with confidence in mind, and sit quietly, just waiting for the sound of the bell.
Wu Jin is sitting in his dormitory. The examination papers are placed flatly on the examination table. The pen, ink, and inkstone have been put into the examination basket to avoid being in a hurry when collecting the examination papers and contaminating the examination papers.
After three sessions in nine days, he had answered all the questions and was just waiting to collect the papers.
Suddenly, the west wind blew the exam papers, making a rustling noise, and there was a solitary cry of autumn geese in the sky. A cold moisture suddenly appeared on the ground, rising up in the wind and getting into the sleeves of people's robes, making people feel cold all over their bodies.
There were sneezing sounds one after another in the dormitory, and there was also the sound of rustling exam papers.
The autumn rain fell with the trend, pattering and rustling, and drifted into the dormitory at two or three o'clock. Wu Jin immediately covered his papers with his sleeves to prevent the rain from staining the papers.
The soldiers who invigilated the examination were patrolling back and forth with umbrellas. The officials outside the curtain performed their duties diligently and took turns patrolling. From time to time they stood on the Mingyuan Tower and looked down, but nothing changed.
Some people cried softly to the sound of rain, and some people came out of the official room. They saw it raining, but they didn't bring an umbrella. They could only raise their hands above their heads, cover their heads with their sleeves, and hurriedly ran past the dormitory, splashing countless water splashes.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and some dormitories began to leak. Just as everyone was trying their best to protect their exam papers, the foreign transfer officer rang the bell upstairs in Mingyuan Tower.
The sound of the bell broke through the sky and resounded throughout Kuanzhou City.
The Waiti adjuster took a long breath and shouted loudly: "It's the time of You, take up the rolls!"
The external collection officer stood in front of each row of dormitories, and all supervision, surveillance, and inspections were in action, walking back and forth with umbrellas in hand to prevent candidates from causing trouble at this critical moment.
The eyes of the soldiers patrolling the examination became more and more solemn. They wanted to see people's bones. Once any candidate loses his composure, they will immediately suppress him.
Someone held up an umbrella, lit a lantern, and shone it in front of the external rewinder, who then began to rewind the paper from beginning to end.
When Wu Jin saw his exam papers being taken away, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
it's over.
The gate of Gongyuan opened, the candidates packed their test baskets and walked out in a sloppy manner.
There was a sea of people outside the Gongyuan, and the carriages and sedan chairs were even more crowded. As the students came out, the crowded crowd immediately became commotion and shouted continuously. After a quarter of an hour, Wu Jin walked from the gate of the Gongyuan to the street.
Wu Yi was waiting for him outside with an umbrella. He searched for a long time with his eyes. When he saw him, he ran over, took away his umbrella, stood under Wu Jin's umbrella, and carried the test basket for him: "Brother!"
He put a sugar cookie into Wu Jin's hand: "Mom said you should cushion it first."
Wu Jin took the sugar cake, smelled the sweet aroma, took a bite, and after one bite, she was shocked to realize that her chest was hungry and her back was pressed, and the remaining half of the cake was swallowed in just three or two mouthfuls.
I was still hungry, burning with hunger, and my body ached. Curled up in the three-foot-square dormitory, all the bones in my body were bent, my fingers were curled up like chicken feet, and my head was particularly tired, as if it was originally full of blood. Everything was shriveled and sunken, leaving nothing but gray.
Only then did he realize that he had been tightening a string that was so tight and so hard that he ignored the hunger and pain in his body.
Now the string was slowly loosened, and the feelings around him returned.
He didn't speak - he didn't have the energy to speak. He walked home with Wu Yi. It was getting dark quickly. The closer he got to Shishi Street, the fewer people were taking the exam. There were no students, no carriages and sedans, only all kinds of hawkers. Carrying a load and hiding from the rain under the eaves.
Wu Yi's voice gradually became clearer: "Brother, I heard that the well in the Gongyuan was not clean for three years and was not clean. In the first game, someone was too lazy to boil water on the stove and died of illness. Is it true?"
"Um."
"Brother, I also heard that there was a fire in the tribute courtyard in one state, killing more than ninety people, and the government wanted to build a grave for students."
"Um."
"Fortunately, I don't have to take the exam."
"Um."
