Even though he had made psychological preparations for a long time, when the day of parting came, Yu Zhou still reluctantly lingered at the entrance of the village for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Originally, according to Jin Chuan's intention, he wanted to send him to the town to join He Yunqi and the others.

Of course Yu Zhou wanted to, but he considered that if he sent him to the town, although he could say goodbye later, it would definitely be even more sad for Jinchuan to bring Chenchen back to the village by himself, so he resolutely rejected the proposal.

They separated at the entrance of the village. At least after he left, the villagers, especially Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen, would definitely talk to Jin Chuan. A few more people chatting with him would also reduce the sentimentality of parting.

Yu Zhou thought of many ways to make Jin Chuan feel less sad, but he didn't expect that Chen Chen's problem was in the end.

I don’t know if the child can really feel it or there are other reasons. Chenchen, who has always been well-behaved and doesn’t cry much, suddenly burst into tears when Yu Zhou at the entrance of the village was about to give him to Jinchuan. The lapel of Yu Zhou's clothes was unwilling to let go.

Two people from a village went to Fucheng to participate in the government examination, and many people from the village came to see them off.Seeing such a scene, the older women hurriedly said: "Chenchen really misses father."

To be honest, how can Yu Zhou give up his soft, milky son, Chenchen cried so hard that his whole heart was also pulled up, and he walked slowly while hugging Chenchen gently shaking Coax.

He was still talking nonsense, "Father is not at home, Chenchen should be obedient and don't make trouble with your father..."

After drinking another cup of tea, Chenchen probably fell asleep twitching because she was tired from crying.

Yu Zhou reluctantly gave him to Jinchuan, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Come back in a month, Zai Zai, you still have to remember your father."

Jin Chuan looked down at his son, and said with a smile: "I will tell him every day, and I will definitely not let him forget."

Yu Zhou said 'hmm'. There were so many people around that he couldn't make too intimate gestures. He only looked at Jin Chuan seriously for a while, and then murmured, "Wait for me to come back."

"Okay." Jin Chuan solemnly agreed.

"Also," Yu Zhou said again, "Take care of yourself."

They reluctantly finished their parting, and Yu Wenliang's side was almost finished.

Although Mr. Wen is Yu Zhou's teacher, but after all, he is old, and this time they go out together, the family is old and young, and the family is always worried.

So even though I have said it several times, when I got into the carriage, I still didn't forget to run to Yu Zhou and ask him to take care of me.

In the sound of 'rumbling' wheels, the familiar scenery retreated all the way, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

Yu Zhou stuck his head out of the window and watched the people seeing off at the entrance of the village gradually become smaller, until the carriage turned a corner and he couldn't see anything.

Because I had already brought all the things I needed to prepare at home, so when I arrived in the town, Yu Zhou and the others didn't stop there. They just joined other scholars who were going to take the government examination, and headed all the way to the city.

Hurriedly on their way, except for going to sleep at night and looking for an inn to live in, the rest of the time was spent in the carriage, everyone was not only bored, but also extremely tired.

Yu Zhou and Yu Wenliang were young and in good health, but Mr. Wen was old, and from the second day onwards, his whole body was listless, and He Yunqi's complexion was not very good either.

Among the fellow scholars, there were also some weaker ones, and it was a kind of torture for them to rush on the road non-stop. In the end, after everyone discussed it, they simply slowed down. Anyway, they set off early and were not in a hurry.

So the normal three-and-a-half-day journey took them more than four days to arrive.

Although it took more time on the road, the result was immediate. When they arrived in Fucheng, the whole group was in good spirits. Even Mr. Wen and He Yunqi seemed a little tired.

After entering the gate of Fucheng, the group of people had their own places to go, so they separated.

Yu Zhou and the others were naturally picked up by Tao Jiang who was studying in Fucheng.

After seeing the person at the door of the agreed inn, Tao Jiang was obviously relieved, and even forgot to fan the folding fan that had been in his hand all this time, "Cousin, you are finally here, I have been waiting here for two days, I thought... "

He didn't explain what he said, but several people knew what it meant.

He Yunqi covered his lips and coughed lightly, "I came here with all the people in the town who came to take the government examination, what can I do."

"Cousin, your health..." Tao Jiang looked at He Yunqi coughing and asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious," He Yunqi said, "I'm just a little tired on the road."

Tao Jiang knew that his cousin knew the seriousness, if he was really unwell, he would never keep it secret at this time, so when he heard that he was just tired, he completely let go of his hanging heart.

The shopkeeper who had been waiting by the side heard what He Yunqi said, and he didn't care whether it was appropriate to intervene, so he took a step forward and said, "The backyard of the inn has been cleared up. Do you want to go there to rest now?"

He Yunqi said: "I'm sorry for the shopkeeper Chen. My friends want to live with me. I wonder if there is enough space?"

"Young master has already ordered that you have some friends who want to come together," shopkeeper Chen replied with a smile, "so don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Living in the inn opened by the Zhou family, everything was arranged by Zhou Ning. He Yunqi must know how he ordered it to go down. After confirming that there was no error, under the leadership of shopkeeper Chen, Yu Zhou and his party all lived in the backyard.

Zhou Ning was indeed favored in Zhou's family. Even though he was married now, the arrangements were still far away in Fucheng, and the people below could handle them properly.

Shopkeeper Chen introduced while leading the way: "Our inn is close to the Gongyuan. During this time, most of the people who live here are scholars who come to take the government examination. Most of them are either going out to meet friends, or staying in the room to study. It is very clean. "

He Yunqi nodded slightly.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled, and continued: "However, my uncle lives in the innermost courtyard. Even if there is noise in the front lobby or the guest room, it will not spread there."

He Yunqi said: "Trouble shopkeeper Chen."

Shopkeeper Chen quickly said: "This is what we should do."

After a few people talked, they arrived and arranged the yard. For a house in the form of a courtyard, the open space in the middle of the yard alone has a large area. This is the time when all kinds of flowers are blooming. How lively.

There are also many rooms that can accommodate people, not to mention their group, even if the number of people is doubled, they can still live.

When finally choosing a room, He Yunqi, as the son-in-law of the Zhou family, specially prepared a courtyard for him, so naturally he lived in the main house, Mr. Wen and Yu Wenliang lived in the east wing, and Yu Zhou lived in the west wing.

After putting down the food, shopkeeper Chen asked attentively, "Should we eat first, or should someone bring hot water to wash?"

For the past few days, even if Yu Zhou and the others stayed in the inn at night, the water and other things were not as convenient as at home, and they were finally able to settle down temporarily after traveling all the way. Of course, they chose to wash first.

After receiving the order, Shopkeeper Chen said, "Sure, I'll have someone bring hot water here, and prepare the food right away. You can eat after everyone washes up."

After washing, eating, and resting enough, Yu Zhou and the others began to arrange the next thing to do.

Yu Zhou didn't know anyone in Fucheng except Tao Jiang, so he shrugged and said, "I'm going to study here for a few days and make the final sprint."

He took the imperial examination for fame and didn't want to be an official, so he never thought about using the time before the exam to meet more scholars.

And to put it bluntly, if you don't have enough knowledge to be admitted, no matter how many people you know now, it will be in vain.

Mr. Wen probably had the same idea, and said, "After the exam is over, I will introduce some friends to you."

Not to mention He Yunqi, when he was eleven or twelve years old, his reputation had already been spread, and he was a member of the He family, so there was no need to take the initiative to make friends with others, only others were eager to make friends with him.

So after discussing with several people, the result is the same.

It is during the period before the exam that you should review your homework carefully.

A few days before the government examination, Tao Jiang's school was also on vacation, so he moved to live next to He Yunqi, and under the guise of running errands for everyone, he discussed knowledge with Yu Zhou and others all day long.

Although others were chattering a little noisy, they had nothing to say about their knowledge, and they had passed the exam once, so they had a lot of experience to share with Yu Zhou and the others.

For example, a few days before the exam, I started to get used to going to bed early at night and getting up at Yinshi the next day, which was his suggestion.

The entry time for the prefectural examination is earlier than that of the county examination. Every day at a quarter o'clock, the Gongyuan opens the door to allow candidates to line up for the examination.

The three of Yu Zhou got used to the routine of getting up at Yin time a few days in advance, so when they came to the Tribute Court on the morning of the [-]th, among the sleepy or nervous candidates, they seemed particularly energetic.

There are only three exams in the government examination, the first exam is about post scriptures, the second is essays, and the third is theory.

Speaking of it, there are two fewer games than the county test, but the difficulty is much greater.

The post scriptures in the first session and the essays in the second session were actually good, mainly the policy discussion in the third session. Not only was it as difficult as the non-county exam, but the exam time was also two days.

Candidates need to stay overnight in the Gongyuan.

During this period, quilts, candles and other overnight items are provided in the examination room, but the examinees are separated, and each person can only sleep in a room that can't even stretch their feet straight. The corners of the barrel will also be surrounded by a smoky smell.

Fortunately, the three of Yu Zhou were lucky and never encountered such a place.

But even so, after the last strategy test, when he came out of the Gongyuan, the youngest Yu Wenliang still had a high fever, and Yu Zhou was also feeling uncomfortable because he couldn't straighten his arms and legs.On the contrary, it was He Yunqi who was in the worst health. Although he seemed to have no energy, he was fine.

But no matter what, the government test is over after all.
