The most critical thing to pass the provincial examination is to watch the first round. The third round is relatively unimportant. Even the invigilators turn a blind eye, which is completely different from the rigorous attitude of the first two rounds.

The third test is policy theory, which is easier than the previous two tests.Many people got things done early, but they were not in a hurry to appear. In order to vent the depression of being in prison for the past few days, or those who knew that they might not be able to pass the exam, in order to express themselves, they were thinking about Make some movement and express your personal emotions.

So in the third exam, before entering, Chang Xile noticed that the candidates were different from before, and even saw a person entering the exam room with a big drum swaggeringly.

"Is that person really an examinee? Why did he go in with a big drum?" Chang Xile was very surprised.

Song Wancheng said: "The third scene is the most lively. I heard that it is comparable to a theater. So you must make arrangements for answering the questions at that time, so as not to be affected."

Song Wancheng also reminded these words before, but Chang Xile just heard it, and always felt that the exam is such a sacred thing, and it was so strict before, so she must not dare to make too much noise.But before I went in, I saw someone carrying a big drum into the examination room, which ruined the three views.

If he hadn't seen the person handing in the admission ticket with his own eyes—the admission ticket here is very big, about the size of an A4 paper, and the candidate was familiar, otherwise he couldn't believe that such a person would also be a candidate.And it's not just this person, the other candidates obviously have much more luggage than the previous two rounds, and they are also more particular about their clothes than before.

Although other people didn't exaggerate with big drums, they were everywhere with Guqin, Guzheng, and Pipa. Those who didn't know thought it was preparing for an art test.

"Lele, do you want to bring the Guqin?" Chang Yu couldn't help asking when he saw this scene.

Chang Xile laughed, "No, I'm going for the exam..."

Well, those people are also going to take the exam, but why are they so big-hearted.Didn't it mean that this scientific examination is very important for scholars, is it really good to do it this way?And those inspection sergeants and outreach officers, weren't you very strict before? How can such weird things be allowed in?

Chang Xile was really puzzled, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined such a thing.If someone had told him before, he would have sprayed that person in the face.Exams are such a sacred thing, especially for people here, how can such a joke be tolerated.

Although Song Wancheng had inquired about the atmosphere of the third exam early in the morning, he was still like Chang Xile, with doubts in his heart, and now he couldn't help but sigh.

And this kind of fright was just the beginning. After entering the arena, it was called lively.

Previously, those candidates were struggling through the first two exams like ascetic monks, but now that they are in the third exam, they are starting to let themselves go.

The most obvious difference at the beginning was food. Most of the people brought very simple things in the previous two games. Everything was convenient. They just wanted to fill their stomachs and didn’t care about the taste.But this time it was different. Many people brought a lot of delicious and durable food from outside. Almost all of them were packed with other people’s finished products, and they only needed to be heated. There are many more reasons.

Therefore, the entire examination room was enveloped by the aroma of food, and many people went around to see what other people had brought. It was as lively as a vegetable market, without the nervousness of the previous examination at all.

And this time Song Wancheng also came over, unlike the previous two who were in the examination room but hadn't met a few times, let alone had dinner together.

Many people took out their own things, and then gathered together to eat and drink, chatting by the way.

And that was nothing, when the moon was high, the candidate who came in with a big drum actually climbed to the top of the number, beat with another candidate with a gong, and called on everyone to start making trouble.

Many people responded one after another, taking out their prepared musical instruments, and playing them as you play, and some even lit up their voices and sang a little song that is popular in the house today.At this time, not only no one cares or complains, as long as the singing is good, there will be rounds of applause.

The whole house was boiling, shouting in unison, and the roof tiles shook.

Chang Xile was in a daze for a moment. Did he come to take the exam or the concert?And it was a very loud concert of the rock type.

"Brother Song, this, is this too exaggerated? Is there no one to care about it?"

Song Wancheng was actually taken aback. It was also his first time to take part in the provincial examination. Although he had heard about it before, he still found it difficult to accept such arrogance. It took him a while to recover.

"This is a custom that has been passed down from the past. I have rectified it several times before, but with little effect, so I let it go. But it can only be noisy at night, and you still have to abide by the rules during the day. After all, although the third exam did not It was important before, but it also affects the test results."

Chang Xile felt that the exams in the past few days really opened the door to a new world, and she never knew it could be like this.However, after so many days of continuous high-intensity oppression, it is not bad to relax now.There are active people who are already chatting with other people, so this is also a good opportunity to make friends with people.

Although this is like a farce, most of those who dare to sing and perform are of a certain level, and it can be seen that they have been carefully prepared.So although it is lively, it is not the magic sound that rings in the ears, and the level is even quite high.

The scholars here only know that studying hard is not enough, and they have to be talented, especially from a better family background, with more things from elementary school.Most of those who could study were from good family backgrounds, and there were very few people like Chang Xile who came from a farming family.

Because the atmosphere was relaxed, Chang Xile's third round was not like the previous two rounds. Although she was still very sleepy, she was not listless.

After returning home and washing up, he slept soundly for a whole day. He always felt stressed before, but now he has completely relaxed after the exam. As for whether he can pass the exam, he can only resign himself to fate.

And within a few days, Chang Yu's exam also started.

Compared with the literary examination, the martial arts examination is much simpler, and it doesn't require so much trouble to be trapped in one place for several days.

There are not many people who take part in the martial arts test, and it only takes martial arts, and there is no literary test. They are all rigid targets, so it only takes two days to finish the test.

When Chang Yu went to the exam, he was not the same as Chang Xile, who was carrying a lot of things. He went there very relaxed in his practice clothes. The exam room was prepared with things for the exam, so candidates did not need to prepare them to prevent people from cheating.

On the first day, the exams were Qiaoguan and Carbine. Chang Xile couldn't go to watch it, and he didn't know how it was going to be.

Chang Yu only said that he practiced as usual and did not make any mistakes.It's just that he doesn't know the specific results, and he doesn't pay attention to the others.

It's nothing more than lifting a pass, similar to weightlifting, he knows Chang Yuneng's strength, as long as it can be as usual, it means that the degree of completion is good.As for the carbine, it still depends on the performance of the invigilator and others.But Chang Xile felt that Chang Yu must be no problem, as his combat power was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Shen Baili is also a well-informed person, and he has also seen No. 1 in the first martial arts test, claiming that it is not as good as Chang Yu's finger.

Although this statement is too exaggerated, it is also an affirmation of Chang Yu's force value.So Chang Xile always felt that as long as there were no emergencies, Chang Yu would definitely pass the exam.It doesn't matter even if you fail the exam, now you are not so anxious to find an official status for yourself as a reliance.

Chang Yu took the exam with ease, as if he had walked out of the door and wandered around, what should he do at night.But when it was time to take a bath, she yelled for Chang Xile to help her with a back rub and massage. Chang Xile didn't know what was on his mind, and because he had been helping her before, she followed his wishes.

In the evening, Chang Yu actually wanted to pull Chang Xile to settle their desires, but Chang Xile ruthlessly rejected them.

"You still have an exam tomorrow, don't mess around."

"Then if I finish the exam, will I be able to pass?" Chang Yu looked at him with bright eyes.

Chang Xile said with a serious face: "Don't think about such things too much, you are still young, doing too many such things is not good for your health."

Once this kind of thing starts, it is very difficult to stop it, especially at the young age, it is difficult to control it.According to the standards of his previous life, Chang Yu was underage, so Chang Xile naturally didn't want him to think about these things all the time.

Although Chang Xile kept refusing, Chang Yu always persevered.So although there are not many times, there are always a few times.

Chang Yu suddenly became a little wilted, and said pitifully: "But I feel uncomfortable."

"It's difficult to solve by yourself."

Chang Yu pursed his lips and muttered, "It's uncomfortable and useless."

This kind of dialogue has been staged more than once, and Chang Xile is no longer as soft-hearted as she was at the beginning, and said coldly: "Then hold it for me!"

"Lele..."

Chang Yu's dark eyes just looked at Chang Xile, as if you don't love me like before, full of grievances.

Chang Xile couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, stroked his head with her hand, and persuaded softly: "Go to sleep, there is an exam tomorrow. Although you are not required to pass the exam, you have to do your best."

Seeing that Chang Xile was so serious, Chang Yu didn't dare to say any more. Chang Xile, the host from behind, slept with his head pressed against his neck.

Although Chang Xile resisted, after all, it was not a pleasant thing to be sleeping with a murder weapon on top of her.But Chang Yu's attitude was very tough on this, and he was thinking about tomorrow's exam, so he couldn't really get angry with him, so he just let it go.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chang Yu entered the examination room again after eating breakfast.

This day's test is riding and shooting, and shooting and shooting. The results of both are very intuitive, and everyone can directly judge whether it is good or bad.

And Chang Xile told Chang Yu to look at other people's grades, so after this match, Chang Xile had a bottom line in his heart.

Chang Yu lived up to expectations, whether it was horseback riding or flat shooting, he hit ten out of ten shots, and all of them hit the bull's-eye, not to mention, he still held the strongest bow.

After the exam, many people came to chat with Chang Yu, and they expressed their admiration in their words. Chang Xile was even more sure that Chang Yu was the best in the exam.

Those who participated in the martial arts test were all martial arts practitioners, most of them were very forthright, and Mu Qiang had a serious mentality.Although most of them are older and taller than Chang Yu, it can be seen that Chang Yu has real skills, and they are very active in making friends.

Chang Yu has never been interested in making friends with outsiders, but Chang Xile thinks that he should know more people, otherwise he would be too withdrawn.It is very active to encourage Chang Yu to associate with those people, and let him invite them to his house as guests.

Although Chang Yu's temperament is withdrawn, it's not that he can't communicate with others, it's just that he doesn't have much interest in the outside world.It is a typical passive personality. If someone stalks others and has a congenial temper, he will tolerate them after a long time, just like the people in the village.

It's just that no matter how close you are, it's not as happy as usual.

Seeing that Chang Xile wanted him to associate with outsiders so much, Chang Yu didn't want him to be disappointed so he obeyed.Although it may seem a bit arrogant to treat people and treat outsiders, those guys don't mind.In their eyes, as long as they have the ability, they are qualified to do so.

These warriors are different from ordinary people, their personalities are extremely rough, to put it a bit exaggerated, their personalities are more like beasts, and they have a great resonance with Chang Yu.In the beginning, I just listened to Chang Xile's words and got in touch with them, but later I found that these people were quite interesting, and I really wanted to make friends with them.

"Brother Chang, your kung fu is really amazing. You are so outstanding at such a young age. I don't know where your teacher came from?" asked a man with a beard and a big beard who was called Li Dabeard. Others were also curious, and Chang Yu replied according to the reason Chang Xile made up for him before: "My teacher is a hermit and expert, he has never told me his name, and he passed away when I was young, so it is even more important not to let me know." clear."

Everyone sighed, most of the martial arts students here are from sects, otherwise they would not be able to learn martial arts.Learning martial arts is the same as studying, it requires a lot of investment, among other things, martial arts practitioners consume a lot of food and eat a lot, how can they afford it without money, let alone bows and arrows, horses and so on.There are also wild ways, like Li Dahuzi who broke through with his own brute force.And even though he looks like a big, stupid guy, he is actually very smart and knows how to plan.

Such people are relatively rare, and they are all extremely talented.

Most of them still have to be taught by their masters before they can have martial arts.

"Look at your style, I thought you were from some great master." Li Dazi sighed, he has a bit of eyesight when he travels all over the world, but Chang Yu missed it.

Chang Yu just smiled, he knew all this was thanks to Chang Xile.

Most of these warriors didn't know a single word, but Chang Yu studied with Chang Xile since he was a child, and was influenced by Chang Xile's words and deeds, so he didn't have such a strong sense of quackery, more like he was from a noble family.

A rather skinny man who was called Wang Baozi said: "Although Brother Chang is good at martial arts, I'm afraid this exam..."

Wang Baozi shook his head, hesitant to speak.

Big Beard Li despises this the most, "You just say what you have to say, what are you showing off?"

Wang Baozi said: "Last time I had a brother, his martial arts was also very good, although not as good as Brother Chang, but he was one of the best, and he was eliminated in the end."

Everyone suddenly became curious, "Why is this? Could it be that there is something hidden?"

There are tricks in the examination room, and everyone is actually not surprised. What they are doing is not just shaking their fists. Naturally, they know a lot of tricks.They came to participate in the scientific examination, not for the purpose of enlisting in the army and marching to become a general, but mostly for the purpose of becoming an official and doing things conveniently in the future, which is very similar to Chang Yu's purpose.

Therefore, although they are also concerned about the result, they are not too entangled.

"It's not a shady thing, it's just because my brother doesn't care about his abilities, he is really ugly. My brother is nicknamed Skinny Monkey because he is thin and small. If you usually see him and think he is weak, you can't even imagine it. It turns out that he is a person who can face five or six big men by himself."

"This martial arts test is the same as the literary test. It also depends on appearance?"

Wang Baozi nodded, "No, it's just that it's not about whether it's good-looking, but whether it's big enough. Wait, let me think about it, how did that sentence come from? By the way, it is said that the torso is majestic. General. Brother Chang is said to be highly skilled in martial arts, but his figure..."

Wang Baozi looked at Chang Yu's body and couldn't help shaking his head.

Although Chang Yu was tall for his age, it was not good enough for adults, especially those who practiced martial arts.Especially now when he is drawing, when he is wearing clothes, he looks very thin, and because he is bookish with Chang Xile, when he restrains his breath, he can't see such a powerful force at all.

This was also the reason why this group of people wanted to make friends with Chang Yu. Apart from admiring his martial power, they also felt that someone like him could be called a genius, and couldn't help but want to know him.

When Chang Yu went to the exam before, some people ridiculed that his body might not even be able to draw the weakest bow, so coming to take the exam was probably just a formality.This kind of thing is not uncommon. Some officials and eunuchs deliberately use this to find an official for their children.In fact, test scores are nothing, you just need to walk through the door.

Such people are despised by serious warriors, so seeing Chang Yu also think so, he felt very disdainful.Unexpectedly, Chang Yu was so secretive that everyone's attitudes immediately changed.The warriors are upright, they feel that they have misunderstood, so they sincerely apologize to Chang Yu.

Although Chang Xile didn't join their conversation, although civil and military were not on the opposite side here, they were not a family after all, and if he was among them, these elders would feel reserved.But this yard is so big, as long as you have the heart, you can naturally hear what they are talking about.

Hearing this, Chang Xile couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Song Wancheng on the side smiled and said: "Is it true that you two brothers do not enter the same family, if that is the case, you are also suffering brothers and sisters."

Both of them were disgusted by the scientific examination because of their appearance, which is really fate.

Although the martial arts test was later than the literary test, the results were issued earlier than the literary test.The result was exactly as Wang Baozi expected. Although Chang Yu passed the exam, he was far behind in the ranking.And the guests who came to the house that day felt that they were far inferior to Chang Yu in the examination room, and three of them passed the exam, and all of them were ahead of Chang Yu.

Li Dahuzi ranked first and ranked fifth, while Chang Yu was the last.

The two had competed in martial arts before, and Li Dahuzi was not Chang Yu's opponent at all, but the rankings were far apart.

Wang Baozi was well-informed, and he also found out that Ruo Feiyu's performance was too outstanding for people to ignore, and he was afraid that he would be eliminated because of his thin body.Although the ranking is not good, it may be considered God's blessing to pass the exam.

Chang Xile was very speechless after hearing this, but one thing in the examination review is to look at appearance, even if such discriminatory regulations are unreasonable, there is no reason to justify them.Fortunately, they only want one official position, and the ranking is not important.

But Chang Yu was obviously hit, and he was listless.Chang Xile thought that he didn't care, but that was not the case.Thinking about it, even if one is ascetic and treated unfairly, it is inevitable to feel depressed.

So in the evening, I made Luo Changyu's favorite roasted whole lamb in person, and wanted to make him happy.

Chang Xile hasn't cooked food by himself for a long time, and he won't be allowed to touch his hands at all at home, but when he came here, he has been busy reviewing his homework, so his mother-in-law did it all for her.It's rare to be free now, and it's a good experience to do it once in a while.

The kitchen here is like a normal stove, which is different from that in the village.And being alone in one place, Chang Xile almost never came in.So after living here for more than half a year, I discovered that what they usually use for cooking is not firewood but coal.

"How do I remember that I didn't use this thing before?"

Chang Xile asked curiously.

The mother-in-law replied: "I just started using it in the past few months, and it used to be firewood. But now coal is popular in the house, so we bought it too. If you think it is inappropriate, I will replace it tomorrow." "

Chang Xile waved her hand and said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, as long as it can be used. I just remember that I haven't used this thing before, so I'm quite curious."

The mother-in-law explained, "Our house doesn't produce this stuff, it's shipped from other places. It used to be inconvenient to transport, so the price was high and people didn't like to use it, but now that the canal is open, it only takes a while to transport it, and the price is cheaper than before. Quite a few, so it started to prevail.”

Song Wancheng also smiled and said: "I've heard about this too. I heard that some people had never seen it before, and they were curious about how stones could be burned. So at first, everyone was unwilling to pay for it. Later, more and more People see that this thing is good, and now many people prefer to buy this thing instead of firewood.”

Chang Xile nodded, "No wonder, I said that although I seldom come to the kitchen, I don't know what to cook at home."

"What's so strange about this is that you are too simple and like to do things by yourself. Most people don't know about it. I know many people who don't even know that there is a thorny shell on the outside of chestnuts."

"Speaking of chestnuts, when you cook chestnut chicken, it tastes delicious."

Song Wancheng's eyes lit up immediately, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just today."

"You really said that the wind is the rain. Today we are going to roast a whole lamb. There are only five of us, and we can't finish it. If we add another dish, there will be a lot left."

"We definitely can't finish eating, but Li Dabeard and those people will definitely come over soon, you need to prepare more."

Sure enough, as expected by Song Wancheng, these elders arrived after a while.

Li Dabeard also brought good wine, but Chang Yu obeyed Chang Xile's words and did not drink at all.Although the warriors were not very happy, in their eyes, Chang Yu was already an adult at this age, so he could drink alcohol, how could a man be called a hero if he didn't drink alcohol.

However, they were not the ones to force others to make things difficult for them, and seeing that Chang Yu was not happy, they did not force them.

The group of people dispersed after a very late commotion. Seeing that Chang Yu was still looking sullen, Chang Xile tried to persuade him, "You are capable, and you don't care about rankings. Anyway, we only want to be an official."

Chang Yu was still languid, completely different from the quarrel between Cai Cai and those warriors just now.

"Don't think about it too much, you are already very good at being admitted to the Wu Juren at a young age. You haven't heard what they said, are you the youngest Wu Juren? Just by your name, you know how good you are."

"En." Chang Yu replied, but his energy was still very sluggish, and he climbed into bed much slower than usual.And fell asleep with his back turned to Chang Xile.

Chang Xi was happy to see him like this, how could he let him fall asleep like this, while stroking his head, he said: "You will always be the most powerful in my heart, don't worry about such a false name."

Only then did Chang Yu turn around, "Lele, do you really think I'm the best?"

"Of course." Chang Xile affirmed.

"But I'm still not feeling well."

Chang Xile had never seen Chang Yu like this before, he was not good at comforting people, and he didn't know what to do.

"Then I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow?"

Chang Yu shook his head, Chang Xile frowned slightly, thinking hard about how to make Chang Yu happy.

At this time, Chang Yu suddenly pressed Chang Xile under him, grabbed Chang Xile's hand and put it in his pants, his eyes were full of longing, "Lele, help me, I'll feel better .”

……

Chang Xile didn't understand Chang Yu's true thoughts at this time, so it wasted the two of them being together for so long.

He was so angry that he couldn't get out the hand held by Chang Yu, so he grabbed Chang Yu's ear with the other hand, "You kid also knows how to play tricks on me, today is for this outing Make a fuss here on purpose."

Chang Yu blinked, with an innocent face, "Lele always doesn't help me, I'm always uncomfortable, and today I'm even more uncomfortable."

"Is this still my fault?"

Chang Yu opened his clear eyes and stared straight at him.

Chang Xile finally lost the battle, "I'm doing it for your own good, this kind of thing shouldn't happen too much."

"I asked, once a week is not too much, but less."

Now Chang Xile was frightened, "Where did you go to ask such a thing, and who did you ask?"

"It's Brother Li, his children can make soy sauce. He said that a man will break if he holds it in for a long time."

Chang Xile narrowed her eyes, "Wouldn't it be Li Dabeard who taught you this move?"

Chang Yu shook his head, and said honestly, "No, it's Brother Wang."

Chang Xile thought of that sly-eyed Wang Baozi, and immediately felt his teeth itch. Next time they come, they must put more cornel to kill them, how can they spoil the children!

Wait, what did Chang Xile think of.

"How did you tell them about it?"

I won't reveal the strange relationship between the two of them...

Chang Xile suddenly felt ashamed, what would others think of him if he seduced a child.

Chang Yu blinked, "I just followed their words."

Chang Xile immediately understood that a group of elders accidentally made some nasty jokes while chatting, so Chang Yu took advantage of the situation and just asked.Everyone thinks that he is a child, and it is normal to be curious about such things, which is "good science popularization".

Chang Xile never thought that such a thing would happen right under her nose, it was impossible to guard against.

"Then do you listen to them or to me?"

Chang Yu stopped talking immediately, but let go of Chang Xile's hand, and lay down with a disappointed face and closed his eyes to sleep.

For some reason, Chang Xile always felt a little pitiful for Chang Yu like this, and felt uncomfortable.

It is normal to have sexual desire after growing up, but now it seems that he deliberately suppressed it, which is very inhumane.

Chang Xile sighed, "It's okay once in a while..."

Chang Yu immediately revived with full blood, and sat up abruptly, looking at him with bright eyes.

Looking at these beautiful eyes, Chang Xile knew that she could no longer draw a clear line between herself and the person in front of her emotionally.
