A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Minghong, who had completely calmed down, was concentrating on answering the questions.

Due to the large number of people applying for the college examination, it is no longer possible to take the exam five times in a row like the county examination and the government examination.

There are only two examinations, namely the main examination and the second examination. Each exam will be held on one day, and other rules remain unchanged.

It is worth mentioning that it is extremely important to submit the paper in advance, because the official who collects the paper this time will write down the serial number on the paper. From front to back, if the two people are of equal skill, the person who submits the paper in advance will be admitted. This was Xie Yuan's purpose before Mention something about him.

While Jiang Minghong was answering the questions wholeheartedly, Xie Yuan helped his wife out of the breakfast shop.

"Ms. sir, it's still early, let's go shopping in Dongshi!"

Xie Yuan thought about his wife's recent fondness for eating fruits and nodded in agreement.

Because she had just eaten, Jiang Mingyue was unwilling to take the carriage again. After discussing it with Xie Yuan, the two of them walked to Dongshi.

The East Market was very busy in the early morning, and Jiang Mingyue quickly discovered two fruit stalls.

"Ms. sir, there is a watermelon seller over there."

Xie Yuan glanced in the direction Jiang Mingyue pointed.

"Well, I also saw a seller selling apricots. How about we buy a little of each?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded her head.

After a while, the two of them walked to the stall selling apricots. Jiang Mingyue looked at the man who carefully selected the apricots after asking about the price. She felt that his whole body was glowing at this moment. He seems to know everything, unlike her who knows nothing about grains and grains.

After Xie Yuan selected some, he picked up one, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and handed it to his wife.

"Taste it?"

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm', opened her mouth and took a bite.

"How?" Xie Yuan asked.

“It’s sour and sweet and delicious!”

Xie Yuan thought that he could buy more fruits in the next few days. If his wife couldn't finish them all, he could make them into preserved fruits and store them for his wife to eat slowly.

Just when Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan left Dongshi to go home, Chen Fugui and others walked out of the Yamen.

Different from the previous arrogance when the street was closed, this time everyone felt like they were mourning for their heirs. Not only were their futures ruined, but their household registrations were demoted. From now on, they could only guard the city gates with the garrison troops. It could be said that their status was inferior to that of tenant farmers.

The gap between before and after was so big that they couldn't accept it. How would they explain it to their families when they went back?

Chen Fugui looked at everyone and braced himself and said: "This matter happened because of me, and I will be responsible to the end. You go home first and wait for the news. I will try my best to transfer your household registration from the Tunjun."

Everyone thanked Chen Fugui and said, "Let's go home and wait for news from Mr. Chen."

Chen Fugui nodded, comforted them a few more words, and then separated from everyone.

He suffered a big loss this time, and if Agent Sun and the others don't handle the matter well, not only will his connections be damaged, but more seriously, he will have no one to use in the future.

Chen Fugui came to the Ministry of Industry and put the matters of Agent Sun behind his mind for the time being. After finishing the matters at hand, he had time to slowly sort out the early morning events.

The Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of the entire Kyoto on weekdays and can be said to be very busy. Even if there is a murder case, they have never come so fast. Today they came too timely. The more Chen Fugui thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Could it be Was he being plotted?

Thinking of this possibility, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Chen Fugui's back. He stood up quickly and walked out quickly.

In the examination room, time passed very quickly for Jiang Minghong. In order to hand in the paper earlier, he did not eat lunch.

He was like this and so were most of the people in the examination room. They all wanted to compete for the top spot.

The weather in June is already very hot. In addition, there are many people in the examination room and the heat does not dissipate. It is inevitable that people will be restless and sweat profusely.

Jiang Minghong didn't know how many times his clothes got wet. Although he was sweating all the time, his mentality was always good. He only wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief from time to time, mainly because he was afraid that the sweat would drip on the test paper and smudge it. Got the word.

In Shenshi, Qingshi Alley, Xie Yuan looked at his wife who had followed him out and said warmly: "It's too hot outside, so don't come out. I will bring my brother and Qi Yongsi back safely."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and hugged the man gently: "Thank you for your hard work, husband!"

Xie Yuan kissed his wife's forehead, lowered the curtain and went out.

In the examination room, Jiang Minghong had just finished copying the paper, and someone had already handed it in, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he checked it again to make sure there were no mistakes before handing it in.

When the officials were taking the marks, Jiang Minghong took a special look. He was ranked forty-five, which was quite high.

Jiang Minghong put everything into the examination basket and walked out with the other candidates. This time he was not assigned to the same examination room as Qi Yongsi and Shen Yu, so he could only meet up after leaving.

Jiang Minghong walked out of the Gongyuan and saw his brother-in-law and Shen Yu at a glance. It seemed that both of them had done well in the exam, and they came out so quickly.

"Let's get in the car first." Xie Yuan looked at the three of them and said. There were too many people outside Gongyuan, so it was not a place to talk.

After the four of them got on the carriage, the three of them repeated the test questions and how to answer them to Xie Yuan as before.

Shen Yu answered the best among the three. If he performs as usual in the next game, it shouldn't be a problem to win the first place.

Next is Qi Yongsi, who must be among the top ten. As for Jiang Minghong, he is slightly worse than the two.

Xie Yuan did not make any comments, but only encouraged the three of them.

In Qingshi Hutong, Jiang Mingyue saw Xie Yuan and the others coming back. She opened the curtain and went out: "Brother, Yongsi, did the exam go well?"

The two nodded.

"Don't worry sister, we are all fine."

Jiang Mingyue was relieved after hearing this.

"Warm water is ready in the bathroom, let's wash up first!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Mingyue saw the two of them entering the bathroom together, then turned around and asked Apple to put the meal. Food cools slowly in the summer, so now it is ready for them to eat after they come out from the bath.

"Isn't it very lively outside the Gongyuan?"

The couple walked into the main hall, Jiang Mingyue poured a cup of sour plum soup and handed it to Xie Yuanwen.

"Well, because there were so many people, I parked the carriage on Ruyi Street and walked there."

Xie Yuan put down the tea cup and saw the sweat on his wife's forehead. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat: "Is it very hot?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded and complained: "I'm sweating even when I'm sitting still. I haven't felt this hot in the past, and it feels like it hasn't rained in a long time."

"This year it's a little hotter than in previous years. I'll ask someone to bring some more ice tomorrow."

While the couple was talking, Pingguo led Pomegranate and Chunxing to put the food on the table. After a while, when Jiang Minghong came in, they started eating immediately.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the two people devouring their food and asked in confusion.

"Didn't you eat anything for lunch?"

Jiang Minghong and Qi Yongsi looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"We didn't eat in order to hand in the paper in advance, not just us, but everyone else too."

Jiang Minghong specially explained to his sister.
