"Brother, have you packed everything? Do you have enough food? Get your thick clothes." 888 couldn't help but become nervous while holding the test basket and watching more and more people.
Qi Yuan looked at 888 as if he were looking at a mentally retarded person, "Do you think I don't wear enough clothes?"
888 looked at the candidates around him and then looked back at Qi Yuan. There was already a bit of coolness in Yangzhou City in the autumn. Few of the candidates around him were wearing thin clothes. Qi Yuan's clothes were considered very thick. No matter how thick it is, it will be winter.
888 could only smile innocently, "Isn't it because I was infected by the atmosphere and became nervous?"
Qi Yuan smiled and took the test basket from 888's hand, "Why are you nervous? One test takes three days, and you will come out again on the third day. If I don't see you when I come out, you can weigh it yourself."
888 was stunned, "How is it possible? Am I such a ignorant person?"
Qi Yuan looked at 888 and looked him up and down seriously, and then nodded seriously.
888: If it forgets to pick someone up, it must be Yummy’s hand.
Qi Yuan was about to go in with the test basket, but in a flash he saw the people from Yucai Academy.
Yucai Academy is a famous academy in Yangzhou City. Every year, students from the academy come for reference in the provincial examination.
However, in addition to the children from poor families, there are actually more young men in the Yucai Academy from various families in Yangzhou City. Their families are well-off, so they often gather together to participate in poetry gatherings.
When the original owner Liang Cai was in the academy, he often took money from the Wang family to attend such poetry gatherings.
There are many isolated children from poor families in Yucai Academy. People like the original owner who clearly come from a poor family but spend their fiancée's family's money to go to the poetry club are looked down upon by everyone.
But what Qi Yuan didn't expect was that the style of Yucai Academy seemed to be getting worse and worse in the past three years.
"Wangcai, give me your teapot."
888 Thinking that Qi Yuan was thirsty, he handed over the teapot in his hand. Qi Yuan took the examination basket and the teapot and squeezed towards Yucai Academy.
"I borrowed it, I borrowed it." Qi Yuan pretended to be happy and excited to see his former friend, and approached the students of Yucai Academy with something in his hand.
The people from Yucai Academy were stunned for a moment when they saw Qi Yuan approaching, and then they remembered the person's identity.
"It's Liang Xiucai."
The man from the academy said something, and the smile on Qi Yuan's face became more and more obvious, but then he found the foot stretched out to trip her.
Qi Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he stepped directly on the man's instep. He only heard a scream, and Qi Yuan stumbled forward as if he had lost his footing.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and laughed heartily, "They are really a poor and humble family. Now is the time for you two to catch up on old times."
Everyone's goal had been achieved long ago, and when they saw the joke again, they gloated and lined up to enter the examination room.
The teapot in Qi Yuan's hand was already mostly empty, and it actually spilled all over the person facing him.
"Brother Liang, you came to take the scientific examination this year." Tan Che wiped the half-wet placket with his sleeve and looked at Qi Yuan and said with a little surprise.
Qi Yuan's expression was stern, "Brother Tan, hasn't he passed the imperial examination in three years?"
Others might think it was sarcasm, but Tan Che didn't think so.
When they were in the academy, the two were best friends and understood each other best.
"It's bad luck. I always get sick when I go to the provincial examination. How much can I do in the examination while sick?" Tan Che shook his head. He was only wearing spring clothes, but he was splashed with tea, and he shivered with the cold morning wind. .
"Are you still in the academy now?" Qi Yuan asked, his eyes falling on the test basket in Tan Che's hand.
"Brother Liang knew that my family was poor and I was sick one after another. How could I still study in the academy? He left the academy a year ago." Tan Che's mood was a little low. His clothes were wet now. After sitting in the examination room for three days, he was afraid that I couldn’t survive the first exam.
Perhaps he was really unlucky. Maybe he could just go home and become a teacher, which would be better than wasting his family members.
"I was so miserable when I left the academy. It's hard for you to talk to me. Your clothes are all wet. If you don't mind changing into mine first." Qi Yuan looked lonely and apologetically pulled Tan Che to the carriage.
"I have also heard about Brother Liang. The saint said that a lot can be done to improve things if you admit your mistakes. Besides, Brother Liang helped me a lot when I was in the academy. I believe that Brother Liang will eventually wake up and make corrections one day." Tan Che said seriously.
Qi Yuan sighed secretly. The original owner was actually very lucky. He had the support of the Wang family and the care of the shopkeeper. Even Tan Che in the dormitory is a rare gentle and righteous person.
"This is my cousin. When there was a flood a few years ago, all my family members left, so we two brothers were left to rely on each other. Brother Tan will change clothes first and will enter the examination room soon." Qi Yuan interrupted Tan Che's want. The act of speaking directly handed him the thick clothes in 888's hands.
Tan Che suppressed his words and nodded, then took his clothes and entered the carriage.
Qi Yuan looked at the group of people who had just entered the examination room while holding the examination basket, and sneered.
Tan Che and Liang Cai, the original master, were both talented people. The original master had gone astray on his own, but Tan Che was dedicated to studying for the imperial examination. He had never passed the imperial examination in Yucai Academy for so many years and fell ill as soon as he took the exam. When I entered the examination room, I was so sick that I couldn't even hold the pen firmly and could write anything.
Now that I have left Yucai Academy, those people seem to be holding on to me. In other words, the original owner offended the Xu family, otherwise he might be paving the way for others like Tan Che now.
If there is no use value, you will have one fewer opponent and kill all opportunities that may be exposed.
If the academy is still muddy, how can we pray for the clarity of the officialdom? The Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be in its early days of prosperity, but if this continues, I'm afraid it won't take long for it to decay.
Qi Yuan looked at the officials checking at the entrance of the examination room and stood with his hands behind his back.
Tan Che changed into thick clothes and was slightly startled when he saw Qi Yuan's back as soon as he stepped out of the carriage.
"Brother Liang, let's go in first." Tan Che stretched out his hand to take the test basket.
Qi Yuan looked at the entrance of the examination room and handed the examination basket to Tan Che, "Brother Tan, why don't you check the examination basket and the clothes in your hand before you go in."
Tan Che took the test basket and met Qi Yuan's clear eyes, and a surprising idea suddenly came to his mind.
Like a puppet, Tan Che opened the test basket and a piece of paper came into view.
Tan Che opened the note and saw that it was densely filled with the contents of the Five Classics. Tan Che's eyes widened and he couldn't help but put down the test basket and rummaged through his clothes.
Tan Che searched carefully and found a row of small mung bean-like bumps on the back collar.
Tan Che pulled off one. The outside of the thing was wrapped in a thin gauze with something like paste, and it was stuck to the collar.
Tan Che understood more and more in his heart, his eyes were filled with anger, and he suppressed his mood and carefully peeled off the gauze to reveal the rolled note.
The note was extremely small, so Tan Che carefully unfolded it and saw the dense sheet of cheat sheets. The font is as thin as a fly's leg, but it is still very clear.
How could he, a poor student, have the money to do such a method?
