Imperial Exam Daily

He went to bed early the night before, although he was worried, but it rained at night, so he was cool and sleepy, and Yang Ye slept all morning the next day.

After the big exam, he was relaxed physically and mentally, and he didn't have to get up early to read and write articles. It was a rare leisure time, so Yang Ye was not in a hurry to get up, and he didn't even let Ah Xi get up.

Until Sishi Xiaoer knocked on the door and said that someone was looking for him.

Ah Xi, who was quietly nestling beside him, got up from the bed when he heard the movement, Yang Ye's arms were empty, and the limp little friend disappeared. He was a little displeased, and secretly cursed the person who came to look for him early in the morning.

He then got up and stroked Axi's back: "It should be Wen Han and the others. They agreed to get together after the exam. It's okay."

"Then, don't make them wait." Axi crawled over Yang Ye and got out of bed, and took their clothes from the hanger.

Yang Ye didn't pick up the clothes, but held Axi's hand. The young man was silent, and he looked distressed: "Don't worry, even if he came to the door, I won't let him take you away."

Axi said softly: "I, I just don't want to cause you some trouble."

The wives that other people marry are all self-sufficient, husbands and children, and manage the affairs of the family in a down-to-earth manner, just to reduce the husband's burden and worry less.

However, not only did he fail to give birth to a boy and a girl for Yang Ye, but he also had to bring him troubles. He had done nothing for nothing, so he was uneasy after all.

Seeing him lowering his eyebrows, Yang Ye brought him into his arms and hugged him: "I am your husband, you should rely on me, how can you talk about troublesome things, don't think about it anymore. If there is something, we will solve it together okay?"

Ah Xi fixedly looked at him, then nodded.

It was already a quarter of an hour after the two packed up and went downstairs, Wen Han and Li Cheng were sitting in the hall, drinking tea.

Seeing that there were really two people, Ah Xi was obviously relieved.

"Brother Yang, is this just getting started? Your heart is really big."

Yang Ye asked Ah Xi to sit down first, and then followed him, saying, "How about it, but what happened again?"

"After the exam, all the candidates couldn't eat, and the hall was full of candidates, all frowning."

Li Cheng shook his fan and drank tea lightly. Although he didn't say anything to echo Wen Han's words, he obviously lost a lot of weight.

Yang Ye thought to himself that this exam may have completely tormented the candidates. Take the children of the rich family as an example, the environment in the Gongyuan is difficult, and entering it is completely imprisoned, and they are used to being pampered. Answered the question.

In this way, a group of children from rich families who can't bear hardships have been collected. Moreover, the uncommon questions in the test papers are contrary to those questions taught in the school every day. This has stumped a large number of students.

Yang Ye asked the two how they were doing in the exam. Li Cheng said that he was tepid, similar to most of the candidates, but usually he felt that the teacher's lectures were boring, and he used some miscellaneous books to polish the time. Proficient in one or two, took some advantage.

However, those miscellaneous books were still obtained from Yang Ye.

Wen Han said: "When I was in school, I reminded you two to read less miscellaneous books. I didn't realize that it would be quite beneficial for the exam. It seems that after going back, I have to borrow miscellaneous books with Brother Yang to read a few."

Yang Ye was very generous: "If you want to see it, take it and see it."

Afterwards, Wen Han said: "During the exam, there were quite a few young candidates who entered the exam room with me. I guess they were only thirteen or fourteen years old. I am really ashamed at the moment. The entire provincial capital is really full of talents. I'm afraid this test is not satisfactory, and it will disappoint the master."

Yang Ye said: "There are many rich and noble families in the provincial capital. They have invited their masters to teach at home since they were young, and they only enter the school when they are at school age. Naturally, we are incomparable in the remote countryside. You don't have to be discouraged." There are not too young, and there are many people who enter the school at the age of [-] or [-], but like those who appear in the provincial capitals at the age of [-] or [-], they have already passed the scholar and participated in the rural examination, but none of them have ever seen it.

Moreover, there are many old students in the school in the county, and most of them are already old.

In fact, this is the so-called educational resources that are not comparable to prosperous areas. Yang Ye didn't think there was anything unusual, but Wen Han grew up in the countryside since he was a child. He was an excellent and well-known student in the county, but That point of superiority is not worth mentioning in the provincial capital, and it is inevitable that I feel lonely in my heart. I think it was because of the psychological pressure that the original body failed the exam for the first time.

Having said that, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Wen Han, maybe he was under too much pressure and didn't perform well in this exam.

As for Li Cheng, he was the one who talked the most on weekdays, but today he was silent and looked haggard. Judging from the current situation, he was even more worrying.

"What the hell happened to you?"

Li Cheng waved his hand: "Don't mention it, the Gongyuan can't take a bath, and I feel uncomfortable. In order to reduce the fishy smell in the number room, I couldn't even drink the water. I managed to maintain a fairly clean number room. Unexpectedly, it rained in the first scene, and the people next door probably suffered from the wind and cold at night, and had diarrhea on the second day, I was really tossed, and I felt sick when I thought about it in the next few days."

Yang Ye wanted to laugh, but he was ashamed to laugh. The rooms are so close together that the smell from next door can easily come over. For someone like Li Cheng who loves cleanliness and almost has a cleanliness habit, this is undoubtedly torture: "It's not you after all. If one suffers, the other must suffer as well."

"My room is the second one to the side, and the only candidate in Dongxie is next to me." When Li Cheng said this, there was a kind of tragic heart.

Yang Ye originally thought that being drenched in the rain was already miserable enough, but he didn't expect that the two of them also suffered. Fortunately, he was in a good mood and suffered a lot, so he didn't want to be the one to confide, and comforted the two of them.

At noon, a few people ordered two signature dishes in the inn. Li Cheng lacked appetite. Seeing the greasy food, he couldn't eat. It was time for him to send the two of them back.

Although Wen Han and Li Cheng don't live together, they live in the same direction.

Li's family also has a bank in the provincial capital, but Li Cheng doesn't like living in a bank, and originally wanted to stay in a hotel, but later chose to stay at a relative's house. Wen Han arrived first, and Yang Ye then sent Li Cheng off. , It took about a quarter of an hour to walk, Yang Ye said: "It is such a long journey, and it is too tiring to walk a few more steps on weekdays. You didn't come out in a sedan chair today."

Li Cheng shook his head: "Everything has to be kept low-key."

Yang Ye was surprised that one day he could still hear such words from Li Cheng's mouth. When he arrived at the place where Li Cheng lived, Yang Ye knew why Li Cheng said such words.

The gate is wide and wide, and there is a servant standing at the door. He raised his head, and the words engraved on the plaque made him narrow his eyes slightly.

I don't know if he was overwhelmed, and murmured those two words: "Song House?"

Seeing him frowning, Li Cheng said: "To tell you the truth, this is Song Xueshi's foreign house. I originally planned to stay in the hotel with you, so I can take care of you, but Song Xueshi is my cousin. Knowing that I am going to take the provincial examination, I specially wrote to my father to let me live here."

"My cousin has a gentle face, but he is very fierce when he scolds people. You know that you are a scholar. He scolds people sourly. Every time he sees me, he tells me what kind of bronze mirror a big man wears. He always scolds me inside and out. Unlike a man, I annoy him so much, but he still wants to marry me to his fat daughter who is as fat as a ball, what a crime."

Yang Ye's expression was a little frozen. He never thought that Li Cheng would be related to Song Xueshi, that is to say, he and Song Yiyu were cousins, and Song Yiyu was Ah Xi's cousin. upset.

Li Cheng said as he dragged Yang Ye into the house: "Fortunately, there are other examiners here this time, and I am the examinee this time, in order to avoid suspicion, my cousin didn't live at home, so I lived with my cousin. "

Alarm bells rang in Yang Ye's heart, and he was secretly glad that he didn't bring Axi out to see Li Cheng: "Then where is your cousin?"

"He went out very early in the morning, and for some reason, when I came back from the exam, I saw him looking panicked, as if he was looking for someone again."

Yang Ye said again: "I've heard that Mr. Song is graceful and graceful, so he must have been married already."

When Li Cheng returned to the room, he lay down on the soft bed and let Yang Ye sit casually. He said, "My cousin is not bad, but he is inferior in front of me. Because of this, he is not willing to talk to me. .”

Yang Ye glanced at Li Cheng. It's not that he didn't know this person's virtue, so he just took it as a joke.

"He does have a few concubines, but he is not yet married. I heard from my father that he had a good marriage before, but then I don't know how to do it. It seems that the betrothed person passed away or something. It was a matter of many years ago. Yes, I don’t remember very clearly.” After Li Cheng finished speaking, he still did not forget to joke: “You think every man gets married as early as you, and luck is so good.”

Yang Ye just smiled and said nothing, the twists and turns in it, really can't be explained clearly in a few words, he trusts Li Cheng, and sincerely treats him as a friend, but Ah Xi's matter is related to his relatives, even if No matter how good their relationship is, it's hard to get close to their relatives. Listening to what they said, Li Cheng and the Song family may even get closer. Even if Li Cheng is towards him, he will definitely be caught in the middle of this kind of thing. , so he must not tell about Axi.

"Okay, I'm going back too, let's get together some other day when I have time."

Li Cheng got up from the slump: "I have to leave as soon as I came here, what's the hurry."

"I'm just seeing you off, not here as a guest."

Yang Ye was about to leave when there was a knock on the door outside: "Li Cheng, father is going to have a banquet at the restaurant, so I ask you to pack up and go."

Li Cheng frowned, he couldn't eat anything, and it was even more troublesome to drink and eat food thinking that he had to greet him with a smile: "I'm not feeling well, can my cousin tell my uncle for me."

"You know your father's temper. If you are really unhappy, you can tell him in person."

Li Cheng looked at Yang Ye in the room and rolled his eyes in pain: "I'll take you out."

Immediately the door was opened, and Yang Ye met the man outside the house with his hands behind his back. Their eyes met for only a moment, and there was a strange atmosphere in the dark.

Song Yiyu said to Li Cheng: "Why don't you say anything when you have friends?"

"He's leaving." Li Cheng briefly introduced the two parties. Yang Ye sized up Song Yiyu. He and Li Cheng are cousins. Naturally, their appearance wouldn't be much different. It's a pity that they were panting from time to time. Obviously the bones of the body are not very tough.

It's a good thing that Ah Xi didn't marry him back then, otherwise he would have been a widow halfway through.

He saluted with a smile.

After Yang Ye left the Song residence, he asked Li Cheng to stop, and he said leisurely: "Your cousin is indeed not as good as you."

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, and smiled wildly while shaking his fan: "It's rare for you to agree with what I said once."

After Yang Ye left for a while, Song Yiyu came to the door and saw Li Cheng who was laughing and said in a neutral tone: "Don't bring all your friends home, you are still young, it is difficult to distinguish whether a person is good or bad, many people It's not that I really want to have a deep friendship with you, but I want to cling to the powerful."

Li Cheng suppressed her smile, and said as patiently as possible: "Really? I remember that my cousin and uncle liked the cakes that my father brought to the capital before, and asked my father to take some pastries. My cousin said so My friend, next time I will have the nerve to trouble others."

Song Yiyu choked on Li Cheng's words, shook his sleeves, and went back to the house without making a sound.
