Quick Wear: Transform Your Life

Chapter 310
On the sixth day of April, it was Chang Dahai and Chang Erhai who brought Lan Xi and Chang Wenqing to Yongchang Fucheng together.

There is still a certain distance between Fucheng and Qingyuan County, and the transportation is inconvenient in this era, so the four of them followed the convoy for two days before arriving at Fucheng.

Compared with the county town, there is a clear gap between the prefectural city and the county town. The streets inside are wider, but even so, it is also overcrowded. Secondly, most people in the county town still wear linen, while the prefectural town wears cotton cloth. There are even two people wearing silk and satin.

They went to find the inn first, and now it is closer to the Fushi, many inns are already full of people, this time Chang Dahai directly took the three of them to a different courtyard.

There was a man in his 50s or [-]s waiting at the door. When he saw Chang Dahai, he stepped forward to meet him. He was dressed in silk and satin, although he was low-key, with an emerald green jade pendant around his waist, but his waist was slightly bent when he walked. , Lan Xi guessed which housekeeper it should be.

As expected, it was the head butler of the Qin family in Manxianglou.

"The Young Master's family has already ordered the old slave. The two young masters have been resting here recently. If you need anything, just ask. In addition, the Young Master has some things to deal with in the capital, so I asked the old slave to say sorry on his behalf. I can't entertain a few in person. bit."

Chang Dahai went forward to exchange greetings with the steward Qin, while Chang Erhai was still a little embarrassed, obviously a little uncomfortable with the current situation, even though Chang Dahai had told him before.

Lan Xi and Chang Wenqing lived in this secondary courtyard. Lan Xi tactfully went to the side courtyard, and Chang Wenqing naturally lived in the main courtyard. There were four servants in the family, two men and two women.

Lan Xi didn't have any demands on this. After all, it was because of the honor of the big room that she could have such a quiet learning environment, so she naturally wouldn't complain.

In the past few days before the exam, Lan Xi did not go out, and has been reading in another courtyard. Chang Erhai has also been with Lan Xi, rarely going out.

Finally, when it came to the government examination, the process was still the same as the county examination, but there were many people who participated in the government examination, thousands of people, but only 50 people were admitted in the end. One can imagine how fierce the competition is.

There are three government exams, which are Tie Jing, Miscellaneous Essays, and Policy Theory. The first two tests are for one day, and the policy theory is for two days.

Fortunately, now in April, the weather has gradually warmed up, and the night will not be too cold. You must know that it is not a good thing to be assigned an old quilt.

The government examination was presided over by the magistrate of Yongchang Prefecture. The magistrate was younger than the county magistrate, in his 30s.

This time the test shed was fortunately not next to the latrine, there was a long way to go.

The first test post scriptures, that is, recitation, includes the contents of "Book of Rites" and "Book of Songs", as for "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Filial Piety", it is indispensable.

In this respect, Lan Xi can be said to be handy. I don't have a memory that I can't forget, but I can remember it twice with a little skill.

As for the second and third rounds, Lan Xi was able to do it with ease. She calmed down and was in the same state of learning as usual.

As for the examination strategy, Lan Xi went to bed early that night, did not turn on the lamp to read at night, and woke up at dawn the next day, sleeping refreshed, which was particularly conspicuous among the nervous examinees.

Then he took his time and copied the article he had already drafted yesterday.

When it was dusk, Lan Xi rang the small bell, and someone came to collect the test papers, pasted their names on them, put them in the box, and took away the things on the table, and then Lan Xi moved towards the gate contentedly.

As everyone went out of the gate, Chang Erhai was already waiting. Based on her height advantage, Lan Xi saw Chang Erhai's figure, and her internal energy circulated slightly, and then the people around felt that they were being pushed towards him by a huge force. Pushing from the side, before they could react, they disappeared, and when they turned around, Lan Xi had already passed by them.

Lan Xi walked to Chang Erhai's side. Chang Erhai saw Lan Xi with a ruddy complexion, but he didn't step forward to help him, and took Lan Xi away from the crowded crowd.

After returning to the other courtyard, Chang Wenqing and Chang Dahai also came back after a while. It was obvious that although he was walking without hindrance, his face was pale, obviously he did not have a good rest yesterday.

Because the government's trial case will be released three days later, the few people simply did not go back, and directly waited for the result.

On the second day after the exam, Lan Xi and Chang Erhai left the Qin family's other courtyard. It was the first time for the two of them to come to Fucheng. Facing the bustling Fucheng, Chang Erhai couldn't help sighing.

"The prefectural city is too big, and the houses are all green brick and tile houses. Compared with the county town, it is much more lively. I will definitely bring your mother to see it next time."

They didn't even visit the East Market in Fucheng all morning, and the two of them didn't go back at noon, so they settled for lunch at a chaotic stall with a lot of business.

In the afternoon, Chang Erhai took Lan Xi to the Silver Building, looked at the jewelry, and finally Chang Erhai chose a gold necklace, but this necklace has no style at all, a thick necklace, almost without any processing .

Even the mistress at the side persuaded Chang Erhai to look at other jewelry, but Chang Erhai still chose this one. Lan Xi chose five jade pendants, two types for women, and the other three for men, basically the same.

The jade pendant was just an ordinary Qingtian jade. As for why he didn't buy expensive ones, it was because Lan Xi didn't have enough money, and he usually saved it by copying books by himself.

Then I went to the cloth shop for a stroll, and the fabrics inside were obviously more colorful, and many of them were brighter in color.

The two men, Lan Xi and Chang Erhai, finally returned to the other courtyard with big bags and small bags, but on this day, basically all the wallets Lan Xi saved before were spent. This is all written by Lan Xi. Word earned.

In the next two days, Lan Xi did not stay in the other courtyard, but went to the Fucheng bookstore to read. As for the poetry gathering held by some students gathered in Fucheng, Lan Xi did not participate, how could he be so leisurely to participate in these poetry gatherings? Or do two arty poems.

Finally, April 22nd was the day when the government tried to release the case, and no one was going to hold a poetry meeting, waiting nervously for the final result.

Lan Xi and Chang Wenqing were sitting in the living room of the main courtyard of the Qin family. Chang Dahai and Chang Erhai couldn't sit down in a hurry. Butler Qin had already sent someone to guard the list.

As for them waiting here, because once they win, there will be officials sent here to send them happy.

While Chang Dahai was waiting anxiously, the servants came to announce the good news in a hurry, "Mr. Wenqing has won, Mr. Wenqing has won,"

The servant was out of breath and hurried to catch his breath, "Congratulations, Mr. Wen Qing, for winning the 26th place."

Chang Dahai's face immediately burst into a smile, and he didn't see the anxiety before, but Chang Wenqing didn't show any expression when he heard the result.

On the other hand, Butler Qin asked the servant, "Do you have Mr. Wenxuan's name?"

The servant's face froze immediately, he ran back happily to announce the good news when he saw Mr. Wenqing's name, thinking that he would definitely get a lot of money this time.

"The little one looked at the list from bottom to top, and when he saw the name of Mr. Wenqing, he hurried back to announce the good news. Mr. Wenxuan's name may be on the top, but the villain was negligent, and he must apologize to Mr. Wenxuan."

The servant hurriedly put away his expression and apologized to Lan Xi.
