To him, it was only right that this gentleman was embarrassed and unsure of himself.
We can't let this gentleman take it back to make modifications. We have to have it as original as possible.
Mr. Ming was speechless. However, he was now physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't even want to say anything. He was unable to fight for it. In addition, he was too tired mentally to fight. He stood up with his hands on the armrests, slumped his shoulders, and walked out step by step. Walking away, he said with a low voice: "Wen Wu is definitely good. If someone insists on finding fault, no matter how good his work is, there will inevitably be flaws, so just let it be."
It was obvious that he was too lazy to argue anymore.
Until now, he still suspected that some servant of the Zhong Mansion had come up with this test question to test him.
Yu Qing folded the test questions and stuffed them into his clothes, and immediately accompanied Mr. Ming out of the study.
Standing under the eaves, looking at the already dark sky, Mr. Ming walked down the steps step by step and walked slowly outside.
After leaving the courtyard, Butler Li, who was waiting outside, immediately came over to greet Mr. Ming and said that Mr. Zhong was going to host a banquet.
Mr. Ming didn't want to say a word, waved his hand to say no, and walked forward sadly. No one else knew what he was thinking about in his loneliness.
After sending the person away in person, Butler Li hurried back to the east courtyard. When he saw Yu Qing eating and drinking, he immediately asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Ming? He didn't even sit in the carriage that sent him off. He insisted on leaving alone." Let’s go, I’m afraid something will happen to him, so I asked the carriage to follow him, has something happened?”
Yu Qing, who was guarding a table of food alone, shrugged, "It's nothing, I taught you too late, I'm just tired."
Butler Li was suspicious, "Really?"
Yu Qing changed the topic, pointed to the dishes on the table, and sighed: "Uncle Li, these things...well, actually the spiritual rice is more suitable for me."
Butler Li rolled his eyes slightly, "It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you. As I said, Du Fei specifically told me that if I want you to prepare well for the exam, I can't give you spiritual rice before the exam, otherwise you'll have to go meditate."
have to! Yu Qing raised his hand and stopped. He said no more. It was still the same, no different from house arrest.
After eating and cleaning up, the east courtyard returned to peace.
The light in the study room was still on. Yu Qing took the answer questions Mr. Ming had made and looked at them one by one. He still said the same thing, he couldn't see anything good or bad about it.
But quite satisfied.
If this test question is true, the question of how to answer it has already been solved.
This test question can only be answered by Mr. Ming, so that there is no need to worry that the fact that the test question was obtained in advance will be leaked.
Failing nine exams no longer sounds good, why don't you still want to be known as 'perfect'? Coupled with reporting the misconduct of students’ families, who would dare to use it in the future?
By then he would naturally have a way to make Mr. Ming weigh the pros and cons.
Of course, the premise is that Mr. Ming fails the test.
In Yu Qing's opinion, it was impossible to pass the exam. A person who failed the exam nine times could pass the exam as soon as Yu Qing intervened. How unlucky must Yu Qing be?
A person who has failed the exam nine times, has been decadent for many years, and has been drained by drinking and sex. Such a low-energy person just rushes through the questions that will take several days to be tested in one afternoon. The answer has not even been modified. If it still makes the list, it would be unreasonable.
If that were the case, Yu Qing would have swallowed the bad breath shit and admitted it!
The days passed quickly, and the examination was approaching in a blink of an eye, and the list of relevant personnel in the imperial court to host the examination was also determined.
Mr. Ming changed from his usual laziness, took a leave of absence from his original employer, and worked around the clock at the Zhong Mansion to demarcate possible topics for Yu Qing, which caused Yu Qing a headache.
Seven days, only seven days, Mr. Ming did not hesitate to live in the east courtyard of the Zhongfu, nor did he sleep in the study, staring at Yu Qing reading.
Even just pretending is tiring in this situation, there is too much to see in seven days.
When Yu Qing wanted to be lazy, Mr. Ming whipped him with a stick.
Are you kidding me? Dare to attack me secretly? This made Yu Qing almost want to draw his sword and chop him.
Finally, I was worried that beating Mr. Zhong might shock the Zhong family, so I had to endure it.
The key point is that it's useless to say that you know martial arts, and you won't scare people if you show it off. Mr. Ming still dares to copy the stick, and he has the guts to fight against the sky and the earth.
All in all, these seven days have been very uncomfortable for Yu Qing...
But what was supposed to come would eventually come. When the day finally arrived, Yu Qing, who thought it was just going through the motions, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
On the day when the examination officially began, the carriage and escort of the male host of the Zhong Mansion saw him off in person.
In the carriage, in addition to the candidate Yu Qing, there were also Mr. Zhong Wai and Ming who came to see him off in person.
Mr. Ming kept chattering all the way, repeatedly explaining the things to pay attention to after entering Gongyuan.
Member Zhong nodded repeatedly as he listened outside. Anyway, as someone who has participated in nine examinations, based on this experience alone, Zhong Mansion's money is not wasted.
The motorcade had not yet arrived at Gongyuan and was forced to stop on the way to Gongyuan. There were sergeants blocking the road and no carriages or horses were allowed to pass. All the people including those seeing off were also required to stop moving forward. Only candidates were allowed to enter with their license plates.
No one dared to forcefully collide during this period.
It is also understandable that more than 10,000 candidates from all over Jin Kingdom gathered in one place at the same time. It is already a large scale. If you add the farewell personnel and various carriages and horses to squeeze in, not only will the roads be easily blocked, but also Prone to trouble.
Yu Qing could only get out of the car, and Du Fei handed him a full basket and helped him put it on his shoulders. At the same time, he told him where to meet after the exam and that he would pick him up.
In addition to some words of encouragement, everyone told him to take care of himself. After all, he had to take the exam for five days and four nights, which was equivalent to spending four or five days in the dormitory of Gongyuan.
After Yu Qing saluted everyone and turned around to leave, Mr. Ming suddenly came over quickly and grabbed his sleeve.
Yu Qing turned around in astonishment and asked, "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
Mr. Ming's eyes were fierce and his lips murmured for a while, but he only said three words, "Take the exam well."
"Yes." Yu Qing agreed, making sure that he had no other instructions before turning around and leaving again.
Mr. Ming watched Yu Qing pass through the blockade of the imperial court with his number plate. Until Yu Qing disappeared, he still stood there for a long time without moving, with a complicated expression.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he was obviously distracted. Member Zhong called him several times before he woke up.
Mr. Zhong invited him to get in the car and said he would have a banquet.
Mr. Ming waved his hand and declined, and did not want a carriage to take him there. He said he was going alone, and walked away with a depressed figure...
Gongyuan occupies a large area. There are nearly 20,000 dormitories for candidates alone. More than 40 inspection sheds have been temporarily opened at the gate, one for each state.
A group of candidates carrying a lot of things on their backs were looking for the entrance to their respective states, and Yu Qing was among them, looking around.
After finding the entrance, Yu Qing discovered that the relevant personnel from various states who had been escorted into Beijing were also there. They were mainly responsible for accompanying the court personnel to verify the identity of the candidates. If they found someone unfamiliar and had never seen them before, they would naturally conduct a detailed investigation.
These are all simple. The most troublesome part of the entire entry process is to check the items you carry. You need to check carefully for fear that something may get mixed in, which is quite time-consuming. After all, there are tens of thousands of people for reference, and each one lives in the dormitory. The invigilator cannot keep an eye on everyone, and can only conduct strict checks when entering.
After finally getting in, Yu Qing, who was looking around, couldn't find Xu Fei. He didn't know if he had already entered or if he hadn't arrived yet.
His Fire Cricket had been sent to Chonger in advance. It was not because he was worried that the people in the Zhong Mansion could not take good care of it, but because the Zhong Mansion was curious about why the water in the small pond in the east courtyard had turned black. He had not thought too much about it before. He lied and said he didn't know. If this was taken care of by someone from the Zhong Mansion, the secret would be exposed immediately.
Of course, he came to Xu Fei not to care about his fire cricket, but to ask about the debt of four thousand taels of silver.
After entering Gongyuan, it would be troublesome to find Xu Fei again.
Candidates from each state were dispersed, and the number plates issued were based on the results of drawing lots, and no predetermined acquaintances were given the opportunity to live together.
There were guards everywhere and he couldn't run around. Yu Qing could only give up temporarily and honestly found his area according to the signs on the number plate, and then found his own dormitory, which was a small musty and narrow single room... …
At Zhong Mansion, it was already past lunch time when Mr. Zhong returned home.
However, his family members were all waiting for him. When he saw him coming back, Wen Jianhui immediately went up to him and asked, "Why are you coming back so late?"
Mr. Zhong shook his head and said, "I have experienced something today. There are too many people sending candidates off to the Gongyuan area, and there is a huge traffic jam on the way back. Taking a carriage is really not as fast as walking."
Wen Jianhui: "The person was successfully delivered to the examination room?"
Zhong Ruochen and Wen Ruowei on the side both raised their ears and were concerned.
Mr. Zhong just nodded and said yes.
Later, the servants brought the hot food, and the family of four sat around the table to enjoy it.
Halfway through the meal, Wen Jianhui suddenly put down her chopsticks with a sigh. She was so worried that she couldn't swallow her food. "The one hundred and six in the provincial examination. If you multiply the forty states, you will be ranked behind the four thousand." . I have inquired about it. Generally speaking, the top two or three hundred candidates will be selected for the general examination. He doesn’t know how long it will take for the four thousand candidates to be on the list."
She said this not only for her husband, but also for her daughter who was about to get married. There were some things she said were useless. If her daughter refused to marry, she believed her husband would seriously consider it.
In the final analysis, she does not like 'Ashi Heng', whose family background does not play a role and who cannot be named on the gold medal list.
Lift people? It might be a name in the states, but nothing in the capital. Just look at the examination scene in the capital where thousands of people gather. And the Zhong family usually interacts with people who are either rich or noble. I don’t know how many dignitaries they know of the fifth rank or above. What does it mean to lift a person?
It's not that the Zhong family can't afford to support 'Ashi Heng', but she also wants to save face. If she finds a son-in-law who can't stand up to the public eye, where can she put her face when she usually interacts with those noble ladies? The bitches who usually had some opinions with each other didn't know how to ridicule her when they found out.
She couldn't think about this. The more she thought about it, the harder it became to accept it.
Member Zhong looked solemn on the outside. To be honest, he was not optimistic about Yu Qing's reference this time. It was basically a waste of time. He just tried his best with a chance mentality.
Zhong Ruochen, who was holding the rice bowl, lowered his head and slowly picked the rice grains into his mouth one by one with his chopsticks. It was also difficult to swallow the food.
In recent days, her mother often said useless things to her fiancé in her ears.
She didn't understand why he suddenly told her that she had a fiancé, and then kept belittling her fiancé, asking her to take sides?
Wen Ruowei's bright eyes flashed, and when he saw his sister's appearance, he immediately laughed and said: "Not necessarily, I can't do it in the provincial examination, but there are examples of people who can shine in the examination. Mom, if your future brother-in-law comes back with a top score, then you Don’t be jealous of others.”
Wen Jianhui chuckled at what she said, and immediately realized that it was a dream, her face sank again, and she hummed: "It's impossible to dream, unless the sun rises from the west."
