Chapter 24

Liu Xi sighed and said, "Although you are not my daughter, I still hope you treat him well."

"En." Nan Wan nodded, she understood Ming Yang's value better than anyone else.

After bidding farewell to Liu Xi, Nan Wan resumed her life of studying hard.

At the beginning of February, the spring is cold and cold.

People came one after another outside the tribute courtyard, and Nan Wan stood alone in the corner, quietly waiting for the exam to start.

"Line in line, don't squeeze." The officers and soldiers held torches and carefully checked everyone's luggage.

In front of Nanwan is a Juren about 50 years old.

It was extremely cold in February, and the other party was wearing a worn-out cotton coat, but his head was constantly sweating.

"Undress." The team moved forward slowly, and soon checked the old Juren in front of Nan Wan.

The old Juren was trembling and couldn't untie the knot on his clothes several times.

This flustered posture attracted the attention of many people, officers and soldiers approached suspiciously and forcibly unbuttoned her clothes.

As a result, a stack of thick paper was found inside.

"If you try to cheat, you will be banned from the exam for ten years." The voices of the officers and soldiers were bitingly cold in the cold wind.

"Excuse me, my lord." The old man knelt on the ground, crying tears.

"My lord, please forgive me! The villain just made a mistake for a while. The villain has been in the exam for 20 years, and if he is banned for another ten years, the villain will miss the exam for life."

After 20 years, everyone felt tense when they heard this sentence.There are several 20 years in life, and this Juren's life can be said to have been spent on the examination.

"Excuse me, the official, but the villain is only blindfolded by the interests. Please also have a lot of officials, please spare the villain this time." The old man was still crying.

"Take it down." The officers and soldiers didn't even frown.

She has seen many such people.

As soon as the words fell, someone came forward and forcibly dragged the old Juren away.

Looking at this scene, Nan Wan felt chills in his heart.

She knew that the imperial examination was cruel, but she didn't expect it to be so cruel.The other party was just trying to cheat and failed to implement it, but he was still banned from the exam for ten years.

"Undress." As the old Juren was being pulled away, Nan Wan stood at the forefront.

After the inspection by the officers and soldiers, Nan Wan quickly put on his clothes and walked into the tribute courtyard.

The process of the general examination was the same as that of the township examination. Nanwan received the wooden sign familiarly and found his room number.

After packing up all the things, Nan Wan began to wait for the hair roll.

The general examination is also for three days, with one subject per day, namely mathematics, poetry and essays.

In the first math test, Nan Wan was quite sure about this and finished the answer quickly.The rest of the time, Nan Wan spent all of it on inspections.

When the officers and soldiers came to collect the scrolls, Nan Wan got up to wash and prepare to rest.

The wooden bed in room No. [-] was extremely narrow, and it was very uncomfortable to lie on.But this is still within the acceptable range, Nan Wan managed to sleep through the night.

On the second day, officers and soldiers beat the gong and began to distribute the answer sheets.

Some time ago, Nan Wan had been making up for poetry and fu.So even if the questions on the test paper are quite tricky, Nan Wan can handle it.

It was very cold, and the papered windows kept leaking air.Nanwan's hands were frozen, so he could only rely on the carbon basin to keep warm.

On the third day, Nanwan was unlucky enough to catch a cold and became groggy.

But there was still the last article, Nan Wanqiang cheered up and rubbed his ink to answer the questions.

By the time Nan Wan walked out of the tribute courtyard, he was a little delirious.

There was a lot of snow in the sky, and the neighboring houses chose to close their doors, but someone still took her home despite the heavy snow.

Nan Wan smiled at Ming Yang and fainted to the ground.

"Wife master." Ming Yang panicked, quickly helped her up, and quickly took her to a nearby medical center.

"This lord is just suffering from the wind and cold, he can rest for a while." Seeing that Ming Yang was worried, the old doctor in the hospital added another sentence: "Auspicious people have their own celestial features, so don't worry too much."

Ming Yang thanked the doctor, and carefully helped Nanban into the carriage.

Nan Wan has always been in good health and rarely gets sick throughout the year.But as long as you get sick, you will make a lot of trouble.

Seeing Nan Wan's high fever persisting, Ming Yang was very worried and watched over her day and night.

"Master, I'll watch over Young Madam, you go and rest!" Looking at his young master's red eyes, Ji Xiang felt very distressed.

"No need." Ming Yang shook his head, "I can still persist."

Besides, he wanted his wife to be the first to see him when she woke up.

A day later, Nan Wan finally woke up in a daze.

"Wife master." Ming Yang raised his hand and shook it in front of Nan Wan.

"How long have I been in a coma?" Nan Wan's voice was hoarse.

She didn't expect her body to be so weak.

"Three days." Ming Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing her sober.

"Young madam, the young master has taken care of you for three whole days, please persuade him to take a break!" Jixiang looked at his young master worriedly.

No matter how hard it is, you can't make fun of your body.

"Ming Yang, hurry up and rest!" Nan Wan looked at Ming Yang guiltily, she let him take care of her for so long.

"Wait until the wife master finishes drinking the medicine before leaving." Ming Yang said as he picked up the dark medicine that was put aside.

Knowing that if she didn't drink, the other party would stay with her all the time, Nan Wan frowned and drank all the medicine.

"Okay, I'm done drinking, you go back and rest quickly." Nan Wan urged.

"Okay." Ming Yang did not refuse this time, turned and left the room.

After resting for three days, Nan Wan recovered from his illness very quickly.

My body is better, and I have many other messy thoughts.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have paid more attention." Thinking that the last article was answered by a patient, it was a pity that Nan Wan couldn't help it. He could obviously perform better.

It takes ten days to get the results of the general examination, and being bored, Nan Wan wanted to go to the academy to have a look.But Naihe Mingyang thought that her body was not yet fully recovered, and forcibly prohibited her from going out.

Nanwan had no choice but to stay at home and continue recuperating.

At this time, in the Gongyuan, several examiners were discussing who should give the Huiyuan.

"I think it should be given to this Juren surnamed Li. Her essay is excellent." A majestic examiner offered to propose.

"Inappropriate." The chief examiner shook his head, "Although this Juren surnamed Li has excellent essays, his arithmetic and poetry are mediocre."

"I think this Nanju man is pretty good." The examiner who spoke took the initiative to pass the three integrated answer sheets to the chief examiner.

The examiner took it and nodded in satisfaction after recognizing the familiar handwriting.

Previously, the other party's arithmetic left a deep impact on her.She originally thought that the other party was excellent in arithmetic, but she didn't expect the other two subjects to be as good.

"This son is very good, do you have any objections?" The examiner passed the answer sheet to everyone.

"Inappropriate." The majestic examiner disagreed: "This sub-article is too plain."

"But the flaws don't hide the strengths." The examiner on the side smiled and said, "She has surpassed everyone by relying on arithmetic and poetry alone."

As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent.
