After coming out of the Gongyuan, Yu Zhou bounced around in front of the carriage for a few times, and the stiffness of his body joints finally got better.

Looking at his messy movements, the examinees were puzzled at first, but after someone realized what he was doing, they started to move together regardless of the image.

So under the still-dark sky, a group of candidates danced wildly at the gate of the Gongyuan. If someone passed by here suddenly, they might be shocked to see it.

Yu Wenliang was still running a fever, and Yu Zhou felt more comfortable, so he climbed into the carriage with He Yunqi and directed Xiaozhu to drive back to his place of residence.

After the carriage drove for a while, Tao Jiang turned his head back from the window, and said twice with a 'tsk tsk': "Brother Yu is indeed not an ordinary person."

"It's just a little more casual than everyone else," Yu Zhou shrugged. He spent two days in the number room. How could it be that he was the only one who felt stiff? It's just that everyone is holding the image of a scholar and is unwilling to make too much noise. It's just an outrageous move.Now that someone took the lead, they all let go.

After speaking, he glanced at Yu Wenliang who was leaning in the corner, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over, "Don't drink tea when you have a fever, drink more plain water."

Yu Wenliang took it, drank the 'gudong gudong' in one gulp, put the cup back on the small table, and nodded to Yu Zhou again, his voice was a little weak, "I don't feel very serious, I should be fine after a night of sleep."

"Sure, then go back and eat something, wash up and go to sleep quickly," Yu Zhou said with a smile, "Tomorrow you can sleep as long as you want and wake up as long as you want."

Yu Wenliang was in a daze when he heard the words, and there was a bit of longing in his smile, "Brother Xiao Zhou wants to help me convince my grandpa?"

"Don't worry, just leave it to me from your grandfather."

"Okay." Yu Wenliang nodded heavily, and after a moment of silence, he said to himself, "I haven't slept in for many, many years."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the carriage, including Yu Zhou, felt sympathy.

After a while, Tao Jiangcai said: "Tomorrow, everyone can sleep as long as they want. After I finished the exam, I slept for twelve hours before waking up."

Twelve hours? ? ?

Yu Wenliang opened his eyes wide, showing a surprised expression.

Yu Zhou didn't hold back either, and asked, "I slept for twelve hours after the government exam, what about the courtyard exam?"

Tao Jiang touched the tip of his nose with the folded fan, and said with some embarrassment, "Of course it's longer than this."

Several people were talking, and soon arrived at the inn where they were staying.

The shopkeeper had already prepared hot water for washing, as well as light and easy-to-digest meals. As soon as they came back, he personally brought them over.

The three of Yu Zhou were indeed tired. After washing up and eating something casually, they went back to their rooms to rest.

I don't know if it's because of the pressure in my heart that I didn't even realize. When Yu Zhou just lay down, he slept comfortably, but when it was about to dawn, he had a dream.

In the dream, he didn't know why, but he was still taking the exam in the Gongyuan, but there was no pen and ink in his exam room, and no matter how much he called the inspecting officials, no one responded to him.

After Yu Zhou struggled to wake up, he saw that the sun was already rising outside.

He rubbed his stomach that was already rumbling from hunger and got up. After washing with the water in the room, he planned to go out for food.

Finally, when he opened the door, he saw Tao Jiang squatting next to the flowerbed without any image, with the folding fan pinned to his waist, staring at the ground, not knowing what he was looking at.

Yu Zhou paused when he opened the door, and subconsciously kept the noise to a minimum. He tiptoed and walked behind him, "What are you doing?"

Tao Jiang jumped up with a 'shua', and immediately went to touch the pinned folding fan, and quickly opened it in front of him after touching it, "Brother Yu, you scared me to death."

Yu Zhou glanced at the ground and said in disbelief, "Are you... counting ants?"

"I'm bored," Tao Jiang wailed, "you don't get up, and I don't dare to go out to play by myself, so I can only wait here."

"Don't dare to go out to play alone?"

"Yeah," Tao Jiang pouted, "You all looked like that when you came back yesterday, how dare I go out."

Only then did Yu Zhou realize that he had misunderstood the meaning just now, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Ajaan, for guarding here." He glanced at the East Chamber and asked, "However, Mr. Wen hasn't up?"

"Get up," Tao Jiang said, "Wen Liang said that his fever has gone, and he made an appointment with friends again, and went out in the morning."

Yu Zhou nodded, since Yu Wenliang's fever subsided and Tao Jiang lived in the main room with He Yunqi again, if he could count ants here, He Yunqi would be fine.

So he squinted his eyes at the sunlight, and invited him, "It's getting late, why don't we go have lunch first."

"Okay," Tao Jiang said decisively, "Come back after dinner."

When the two arrived at the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper saw it and immediately greeted him, "Young Master Yu is awake, come and tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have someone bring it in for you."

"It's good to eat here." Yu Zhou replied.

They chose to stay in the backyard and not come out, mainly because it was clean and good for studying. Now that they have finished their exams, they naturally don't need to worry so much. It is also a good thing to come out to eat and meet more people.

In the end, the two sat down by the window, and before the food was served, two people, one fat and one thin, walked up to them, looked at Yu Zhou and asked Tao Jiang, "Is this your clever cousin?"

Tao Jiang obviously knew these two people a long time ago, and frowned indistinctly, "This is my friend."

Yu Zhou obviously felt his dislike for these two people, otherwise he wouldn't just say that he was a good friend without introducing their names, so he just raised his eyelids and glanced at those two people without making a sound.

The two of them didn't intend to just let it go, and they came prepared, the man with the fleshy face snorted, "I heard that He Yunqi had a friend who didn't know a few characters two years ago, so I asked him A scholar from the same village is a gentleman, so he wants to be admitted to Tongsheng's fame in one fell swoop."

When Yu Zhou heard this, he raised his head and took a serious look at the fat man who was talking.

Short and fat, he was afraid that others would not know that his family was rich and dressed like that, this was Yu Zhou's first impression of him.

Recalling carefully, he confirmed that he had never seen this person before, and he was definitely not from their town, and he didn't know where he got such information.

Yu Zhou slowly raised the corners of his lips, and said in a nonchalant tone, "When this brother is going back to trouble others, I suggest you better ask for the latest news."

"You..." The fat man's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he took a step forward, wanting to scold Yu Zhou.

The thin man was calmer than him, and held him back, "It's just that he was lucky enough to be admitted in the county examination, and he started to feel complacent. There is no need to haggle over this kind of person."

Tao Jiang glanced at this person contemptuously, slowly opened the folding fan, leaned on the chair, and completely handed over the verbal dispute to Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou smiled lightly, and raised his voice on purpose, "Those who can come to take the government examination, who didn't study hard for ten years, fell into Xiongtai's mouth but turned into good luck, I don't know if Xiongtai thinks Real talent and learning are not important, I still think that the admission of parents is unfair."

Those who can stand out and take the government examination are more or less conceited, and they must think that being admitted to the county examination is a recognition of their past efforts and knowledge.

In the end, some people said that it was just good luck. Even if they were not talking about themselves, they would easily feel that they were being linked.

As a result, the circle of scholars around Yu Zhou's table all looked over angrily when they heard the words.

The skinny man thought that Yu Zhou was someone who hadn't studied for a few years when he said that he was lucky, and he would definitely be irritated when he heard this.

But he didn't expect that Yu Zhou would publicize these words loudly, he hated him so much for a moment, he stared at Yu Zhou and didn't speak.

In fact, at this time, if he took the initiative to admit his mistake, the matter might be over, but if he insisted on it, he would only be hostile by all the scholars present.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Yu Zhou also found it very boring. The method of the instigator is really too weak, and he hasn't played to his level yet.

So when the fat man said provocatively: "Since you said you were not admitted by luck, why don't you two have a competition?" Yu Zhou shook his head and refused without thinking, "If you say a competition, I will Compared with you? Why?"

The thin man came to his senses at this moment, "Could it be that you are afraid?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm disdainful," Yu Zhou said, "How knowledgeable I am, my county magistrate has already proved it for me in the previous county examination. Why do you need to show it in front of you."

"Brother Yu is right." Just as Yu Zhou finished speaking, He Yunqi came out from behind, looked at the two people and said, "I only learned this kind of thing to enrich myself, benefit the people, serve the court, and even It can be used to compete with friends, but if it is used to compete with people like you, as a weight to compete, it is insulting to the sages."

After he came out, the fat man's arrogance was obviously shorter.

He Yunqi didn't know if he was more infected by Yu Zhou and Tao Jiang, so he rarely showed a sarcastic smile, "And I don't know what you think, since it's aimed at me, shouldn't you ask me for the competition? My cousin is also at the side, what's the point of going after my friend."

"It's just bullying and fearing the tough." Tao Jiang finally sat up straight, waving his fan and said, "I haven't heard of Brother Yu's reputation, so I think Brother Yu is easy to bully, but they don't know that Brother Yu is trying to save face for him. They don't know yet gratitude."

When He Yunqi proposed to rush at him, the two of them were obviously discouraged, but Tao Jiang confessed the words, which caused frequent laughter from the scholars watching.

Some people even booed: "Yeah, since you are going for Brother He, shouldn't you compete with Brother He?"

The fat man's face was flushed red, and he didn't know how to react.

The thin man didn't know what to think of, and he looked at He Yunqi with a sarcastic smile and said, "No matter how talented you are, you are nothing more than a vulgar person who is greedy for wealth and honor."
