Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

In Linjia Village, Chen Juan saw that her husband was a little uneasy and poured him a glass of water. She said thoughtfully, "Are you worried about the students in the private school?"

Lin Hanshan took his wife and sat down and said, "The weather is bad today. It's raining non-stop. I don't know if they brought umbrellas when they came out of the house or if they wore thicker clothes."

Chen Juan held her husband's hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, the weather has been bad these days. The elders in our family have their own plans. How could we not bring an umbrella?"

“I’m not worried about the people who live in the county, I’m worried about those who come from poor families like me.

I know better than anyone how difficult it was for them to get to where they are today. It would be a pity if they caught cold due to the weather and were unable to take the county examination. "

Chen Juan patted her husband's hand comfortingly and asked, "Are there many children from poor families in Class A?"

"No more than six."

Lin Hanshan told his wife about the situation of the six people.

"Maybe they passed the exam?"

"If you're lucky, one out of six will be good! Their foundation is not good, so this year we just let them get used to it in advance, and they should be inseparable next year and the year after that."

Chen Juan nodded and said: "I have been to the county town with my mother these days. I heard everyone guessing how many students can win in each private school this year. Sir, what is the situation of Yu's private school this year?"

Lin Hanshan thought for a while and said, "Half of them are no problem, and thirteen of them, including Yu Chun, Jiang Minghong, Li An, and Zhao Xiang, will definitely win."

Huh? Chen Juan suddenly looked up at her husband.

"Jiang Minghong?"

Lin Hanshan looked at his surprised wife.

"Well, what happened?"

Chen Juan quickly stabilized her mind and said warmly: "It's nothing."

Presumably they are people with the same name, and her cousin has died of illness. Although she thought so, Chen Juan still asked one more question.

"The student named Jiang is from Wanping?"

After asking, Chen Juan realized belatedly what a stupid question she had asked. If she was not from Wanping, how could she take the imperial examination in Wanping.

She said something to herself without waiting for her husband's answer.

"I'm so stupid, how could I ask such a stupid question."

Chen Juan paused and said in a gentle voice: "Master, please read a book! I won't disturb you anymore."

Lin Hanshan raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at his wife who was leaving. She seemed to be very curious about Jiang Minghong.

Others don't know the details of Jiang Minghong's sister and brother, but he knows a little bit. Does his wife know Jiang Minghong? But the way she looked just now was a bit different.

Lin Hanshan couldn't figure it out and put the matter in the back of his mind for the time being. He concentrated on reading. Reading was like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You must not slack off.

In the examination room, Jiang Minghong finished writing the first draft, put down the pen, counted out exactly three hundred words, and continued to conceive of the second question. He planned to control the two articles to about seven hundred words, which was specially reminded by his brother-in-law. .

Both test questions were quite satisfactory, and there was no new idea to write. If he wanted to answer better than others, Jiang Minghong knew that he could only focus on constructing sentences, quoting scriptures, and words.

After solving the topic, the following two strands, middle two strands, and closing two strands must be neatly aligned. Jiang Minghong spent a lot of time thinking about every word.

After the second eight-legged article was written, it was followed by poetry. This was much easier for Jiang Minghong, but he was not careless. After pondering, he started writing. So far, the three topics have been All drafts are done, just waiting to be copied onto the answer sheet.

Seeing that it was already noon, Jiang Minghong put down his writing brush, cleared the table, took out the fried noodles from the examination basket, asked the patrolling yamen servant for a bowl of boiling water, and started to fill his stomach slowly.

I copied for a while and wanted to write the words well, but I was physically strenuous and I didn’t have the energy on an empty stomach.

After filling his stomach, Jiang Minghong closed his eyes and rested his mind for a quarter of an hour. After making himself full of energy, he briefly moved his wrists, measured the approximate size of each line of the test paper, and how many words to write, and then began to copy the article stroke by stroke. Copy it.

There was plenty of time in the afternoon, and Jiang Minghong was not in a hurry, so he wrote very slowly, trying to make every word neat and beautiful.

In the words of his brother-in-law, for an exam like the county exam that is not too difficult, if he wants to be at the top and stand out, all he can do is perfect every aspect.

Time passed bit by bit. In Zaolin Alley, Jiang Mingyue, who was counting the time at home, saw that it was Shenshi. She stood up suddenly, took her brother's cloak, walked quickly out of the main hall, and slowed down when she came to the outside of the study. .

Looking at the man who was studying seriously, Jiang Mingyue put her elbows on the window sill and called out in a low voice: "Mr.

Xie Yuan said "Hmm", put down the book in his hand, looked at the person in front of him, and understood the purpose of her visit.

"I will go with you to pick up my brother."

Jiang Mingyue smiled and said 'hmm'.

Xie Yuan stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up a cloak, went outside and put the cloak on his wife thoughtfully. He looked up at the sky and made sure it wasn't raining. He ordered Zhou Bin to drive a car, and the two of them took the car. yamen.

"I don't know if my brother has finished writing."

"At his usual speed, this should be checked."

"If errors are found, can they still be corrected?" Jiang Mingyue asked curiously.

"It is possible, but if it is not a major mistake, it is best not to change it, because it will make the entire test paper unsightly."

…………

At half past midnight, when it's time to put the first names, the candidates who submitted their papers in advance can leave.

At this time, Jiang Minghong had just finished copying the test paper. He looked up and saw that he couldn't catch up with the first card, so he had to catch up with the second card. There was half an hour difference between the two, so he was not in a hurry and started to check the test paper.

Outside the yamen, there were many people waiting around. When they saw movement coming from inside, they walked forward and said, "Come out, someone is coming out."

In the crowd, Jiang Mingyue grabbed the man's arm, stood on tiptoes, stretched her neck, and searched carefully.

"Stop looking for it. My little brother hasn't come out yet. He should have come out for the next time."

Xie Yuan led his wife to the teahouse and said, "The first and second cards are half an hour apart. Let's have some tea and come over."

Jiang Mingyue let the man lead her and asked curiously: "What do the first and second cards mean? Is there anything special about them?"

"The first batch is the first batch of people who submitted their papers, the second batch is the second batch of people who submitted their papers, and the last batch. After all the test papers are sealed, the examiners will review the first batch of papers first, and so on."

Jiang Mingyue rolled her eyes.

"That is, the sooner you submit your papers, the better."

Xie Yuan nodded.

"That's the truth, but there are exceptions."

"Oh!"

The two walked into the teahouse. Xie Yuan ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts. While drinking tea, he peeled peanuts for his wife.
