The couple couldn't wait for Xie Xiuwen, so they were naturally at a loss. The city was so big, where could they find it?
What Xie Xiuwen didn't expect was that his sweetheart would find him the day before the exam.
Xie Rongzhao knew how important this provincial examination was to his father. If he failed again this time, his father would be severely hit and would never be able to concentrate on studying in the future, so he wanted to see if he could bring his good luck to he.
Also coming with Xie Rongzhao was Cheng Jingzhou.
Wang Jin originally planned to let Xie Xiuwen live in his home, so that the two of them could take care of each other, but he didn't want his biological daughter to come, so he had to have someone pick him up.
Cheng Jingzhou had already arranged for someone to rent a small yard near Gongyuan, and he also used it in the name of Master Wu. The purpose was not to be found by anyone who wanted to find him again.
Xie Rongzhao was generous and directly gave Cheng Jingzhou one hundred taels of silver and asked her to deduct it from the one thousand taels of silver notes!
Xie Xiuwen looked at his little sweet baby and felt extremely soft in his heart.
"Good boy, you came to Fucheng alone, does your family know?"
"I don't know. They just thought I was staying at Cheng's house. Dad, I have always had good luck. This time you have to hug me more, and then I will give my good luck to Dad. Dad will definitely be able to go to high school. "
Xie Xiuwen immediately beamed.
"My sweet baby is such a lucky star!"
The Fang family was raided, and Fang Yuanwai was also imprisoned. Xie Xiuwen no longer had to hide and tuck in, and he could say some things as he pleased.
"Dad, you have a good rest. Brother Douzi and Brother Zhou are both here, and Brother Jingzhou has brought someone with him. They can make sure that everything goes smoothly this time."
Xie Xiuwen's eyes flashed. As long as his mother didn't know where he was, he would be safe.
Xie Rongzhaolai was in the arms of the beautiful father, and kissed him twice, just thinking about rubbing off all his good luck.
Cheng Jingzhou was very jealous of this scene. He also wanted Guobao to kiss him.
There are three rural examinations in total, each taking three days.
The examination booths are also called numbered rooms. They are one room after another. They are used as examination rooms and dormitories for candidates to answer papers, eat and stay in Gongyuan.
Each candidate has a private room to prevent cheating.
The invigilation of exams in the Gongyuan is very strict. When candidates enter the Gongyuan, they must undergo a strict body search to prevent candidates from hiding anything. When candidates enter the examination room, they must lock the door.
During the examination period, the candidates were allowed to eat, drink, and sleep in their rooms and were not allowed to come out until the end of the examination.
"Dad, I heard that the conditions in the examination room are difficult and there are not many things that can be brought in. Brother Jingzhou and I specially prepared a small stove and pot for you. Dad can cook some rice porridge by himself. drink."
Xie Rongzhao also heard that the body searches were very strict, and the steamed buns brought by the students had to be broken, and some even had to be broken into several pieces, which would inevitably cause some inconvenience when eating.
Therefore, she and Cheng Jingzhou discussed it and simply asked her father to bring the rice in. This was always impossible to cheat. It would be easier to pass the body search and there would be no need to worry about the rice being broken off.
"Okay, our dear baby is still thoughtful."
Xie Rongzhao immediately became proud, his little face lifted, and he looked like he was going to praise me so much, which made people laugh.
This is not the first time Xie Xiuwen has taken part in the provincial examination, so he is naturally well prepared.
However, compared to what Guabao and Cheng Jingzhou prepared for him, it seemed that he was too careless.
The next day, Guabao was carried by Xie Xiuwen to queue outside the Gongyuan. He happened to meet Wang Jin, so they walked together.
Seeing the gate of Gongyuan being closed, Xie Rongzhao could no longer hide the worry on his face. After all, this was different from what happened in his previous life.
In her previous life, she had only heard people say that her father had a high chance of winning the election, but in the end she was unable to participate.
Therefore, Xie Rongzhao was worried and always afraid that something would happen again.
"Don't worry, dear, my uncle is very talented and will definitely be able to pass high school this time."
Xie Rongzhao nodded, but there was no hint of relaxation on his face.
Xie Xiuwen felt a little lucky to enter the cell. Fortunately, it was not a bad cell, so these three days were not so difficult.
The room is very narrow, with only two wooden boards at the top and bottom. The upper board is used as a table for writing the answer sheet, and the lower board is used as a chair. At night, the two boards are put together as a bed.
Candidates are isolated from the outside world during the exam and have to solve their own food problems.
The invigilator only cares about cheating in the exam. As for the other actions of the candidates in the room, the invigilator does not ask at all.
Xie Xiuwen tidied everything up first, then looked around to make sure there was no problem with the roof, and then he was really relieved.
When it comes to exams, weird things have happened.
He remembered that during the provincial examination one year, it rained heavily at night and the roofs of several rooms leaked. The candidates were so tired that they fell into a deep sleep and had no time to collect the examination papers on the table. As a result, the originally good answer sheets became a pile. Ink paper.
That time, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet after coming out. Some even couldn't bear the blow and fainted in the room.
Xie Xiuwen also experienced two defeats and felt a little frightened.
In order to make Guabao happy, Cheng Jingzhou took her to a famous restaurant nearby. He heard that someone had set up a gambling game to bet on the top ten this year!
"I bet on Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan has long been known for his talent. I bet on him being in the top ten!"
"What Mr. Fan? I've never heard of it. It has to be our Mr. Qin. I bet Mr. Qin can win the title!"
Xie Rongzhao was confused when she heard it, but it was Cheng Jingzhou who explained from the side that she finally understood.
"Brother Jingzhou, let's go place bets too."
Cheng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. Is she so confident that her uncle would win the exam?
"Good boy, think about it, winning the first prize is different from being in the top ten."
"Hmm, I think Dad can definitely be in the top ten."
In fact, in addition to this kind of betting on the top ten, there are also direct bets on yuan.
The odds of betting on the top ten bets are relatively low. If the bet is successful, the bet will pay you three or four. If the bet fails, then nothing will happen.
The odds of betting on yuan are very high. If the bet is successful, one pays five, one pays six, and even one pays ten. If the bet fails, it is equivalent to throwing away the money.
In fact, in this kind of gambling, no matter how people bet, the banker will definitely make a profit in the end.
The rural examination is to select scholars in the local government. Some of the followers and relatives who come from various places are naturally optimistic about their masters. Some of them are the first in the county, so they naturally feel that they are invincible, so there will always be people who blindly believe in themselves. Relatives or friends will definitely be able to solve the problem in high school.
In fact, even the talented people who are truly famous throughout the city may not be able to win the election.
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to the fact that if a person writes poetry very well, it has no necessary connection with whether he can really pass the provincial examination.
In addition, the bankers will secretly stir things up and deliberately disturb the audience, so anyone who can afford this kind of gambling will definitely make a profit.
Of course, those who can set up a gambling game must not be ordinary people.
