Chapter 29 The Fourth County Examination

It is indeed the wafers produced by the workshop at home. A peddler is shouting vigorously. Many people go to taste and buy them. They look very good. Someone next to him asked the price. The wholesale price has tripled. With such a high price, many people bought it without hesitation, and Wen Yan's eyes widened.

After walking out of the crowd, Wen Yan stuck out his tongue: "It's so expensive, the people in the county are indeed rich!"

Tang Yi felt the same way: "Indeed, we have a good life in the village and in the town, so we can't be ranked here. Now that we think about the small calculations of the villagers, it really doesn't catch our eyes."

Wen Yan nodded: "Yes, it's better to come out and have a look more often. The wider the field of vision, the wider the mind will be."

Tang Yi rubbed his head: "What Fu Lang said makes sense."

Wen Yan was shy and shy, avoiding his hand, and the two quarreled wildly for a while before returning to the inn.

That night, both of them chatted with freshness and excitement for a long time, and they didn't know what time they fell asleep. When they went downstairs for breakfast the next morning, they happened to meet a few teenagers who were protecting each other.

Tang Yi greeted and introduced Wen Yan to the teenagers. Everyone said hello to each other, and then ate at the same table.Except for Duan Yunfei who came alone, the other children were accompanied by family members. Duan Yunfei had been sitting on the table for a while, feeling awkward, thinking that Tang Yi would have someone to accompany him when he came, but Tang Yi unexpectedly brought his husband. .

Duan Yunfei suddenly felt that he was a loner, so lonely.

Tang Yi discovered his abnormality, and talked to him a lot after a meal, which relieved Duan Yunfei's emotions. After all, he is a child and his mind is not very mature.

After breakfast, the children all went back to their room to study. Tang Yi wanted to go out to play, but Wen Yan dragged him back to his room and pressed him to read at the table.

Wen Yan was straightforward: "Everyone else is working hard and you go out to play by yourself. Then how can you pass others' exams? You have to persevere until the last moment, and you can't relax!"

Tang Yi had no choice but to hold the book and read it seriously, while Wen Yan supervised by the side.

Soon it was the day of the exam. Wen Yan got up early and brought breakfast into the room. After the whole day of the exam, he couldn't leave the exam room. Shopkeeper Fu had already told him not to drink gruel or drink a lot of water, so Wen Yan gave Tang Yi a large piece of steamed buns and two eggs, and only drank a little water.

Then I changed clothes. At this time, the weather was still cold. Sitting in the examination room for a whole day without exercising is still a physical test. Shopkeeper Fu told me not to wear cotton jackets, because cotton jackets are easy to get caught, and I was asked to do so outside the examination room. take off.So Tang Yi wore five thick single clothes, the outermost three were specially made by Wen Yan, one size larger than the usual size, so that he could move freely with a few clothes stuffed inside, Tang Yi couldn't help feeling Wen Yan's carefulness.

There is only one examination basket with him when he enters the examination room, which contains the necessary stationery such as pen and ink, inkstone paperweight, etc. Tang Yi did not dare to use the broken pen and thick ink that he usually uses this time, but bought it with the help of shopkeeper Fu. Two high-quality brushes and a piece of high-grade ink can be melted by rubbing lightly when exposed to water. The ink produced is fine and uniform, with a full color, and the written characters also look a little more energetic.

There is also some food in the test basket to satisfy the hunger at noon. Wen Yan brought Tang Yi a whole big white and fat steamed bun and cut it into thin slices. This is what Mr. Fu reminded. The food was broken open and inspected. Think about the broken steamed buns, which may still have a few black handprints on them. Tang Yi's head is full of black lines, so the shopkeeper Fu told him to cut it into thin slices. Check it and it won't break into inedible slag.As for the jars for storing rice, you can’t even bring them with you. Think about people stretching their hands into them, stirring them and pinching them...

Shopkeeper Fu also carefully reminded Tang Yi that he had brought a piece of fine wool felt, which he used to do the questions in Boguang Bookstore on weekdays. The county examination room is very simple, there is not even a numbered room, it is in the open air, Many of those tables and chairs are cracked or moth-eaten. If you put paper directly on them to write potholes, you may accidentally poke a hole. With a piece of wool felt, you don’t have to worry about it.

Shopkeeper Fu's instructions were very detailed, and Wen Yan's serious preparation made Tang Yi feel both at ease and warm, and he felt much more at ease when he entered the examination room.

When I arrived at the entrance of the examination room, there was indeed a small room that required candidates to do various inspections. The basket was turned over several times, and all the clothes had to be taken off. Tang Yi was well prepared, passed the inspection smoothly, and got his own examination basket It was found that the things were placed neatly, and the steamed buns had obvious traces of being turned over, but there were no black handprints. It seems that the small officials in the examination room here are still very humane.

After passing through a series of inspections, the last petty official gave Tang Yi a small number plate and showed him the way. Tang Yi thanked him and found his seat according to the petty official's guidance. The stool has wooden boards erected on both sides to block the line of sight to prevent cheating, and there is a small bucket next to it, which is convenient for use.

The table does look old, but fortunately it is strong and will not wobble, and there are a few cracks on it. Tang Yi spread the wool felt and the problem was solved.

When the time came, the examiner arrived and announced some rules for the examination room, and asked the clerk to distribute an answer sheet and two draft papers, and then entered the exam.

A special clerk walked through the examination room with a big wooden signboard, making sure that every examinee could see the test questions on the wooden signboard. Tang Yi sat near the front and laid down the bed after seeing the test questions. Open the scratch paper.Make a draft seriously.

He has practiced too many times in Boguang Bookstore, and he quickly figured out the logic, and then added and subtracted each part, and soon the prototype of the article was formed.

Tang Yi was not in a hurry to transcribe on the answer sheet, but first wrote the complete article on the back of the first draft paper, and then circled and revised it to focus on the mistakes that shopkeeper Fu pointed out on weekdays After looking at it and confirming that it was correct, I carefully copied it again on the second draft paper, and it was almost noon by this time.

Tang Yi groaned in his stomach, so he picked up a few slices of steamed buns that looked the cleanest and most complete, and ate them. He only dared to take a sip of tea to help him swallow, and he didn't dare to drink more. He ate early, and after he finished eating, he ate I started to continue working on the questions, and after about half an hour, the other candidates began to eat. At this time, something suddenly happened that made all the candidates collapse.

I don’t know which dear friend had a bad stomach in the morning, and now he couldn’t hold back and solved it on the spot. The cold wind blew, and more than half of the examination room was swept by the strong smell. Those candidates who were eating or just about to eat It was messy in the wind, and a few people who were close couldn't help holding the small bucket and vomited. The smell in the examination room was really hard to describe.

The examinees lost their appetites, and they all held their noses and frowned to answer the questions. Some of them were accidentally stained with vomit because they were copying the test papers. Knowing that the test was hopeless, they burst into tears on the spot and were beaten The petty official in the examination room dragged him out.

Tang Yi sat in the upper air of the man who harmed the examination room, and he was slightly less affected. In addition, there were classmates who fainted and were dragged out because of nervousness in the college entrance examination. He was calm and calmly copied the test paper , carefully placed it on the table and waited for the ink to dry, and when it was time to hand in the paper, he handed in the test paper upright, and the first exam ended smoothly.

As soon as he left the examination room, Tang Yi saw Wen Yan waiting outside the door, and ran over quickly. Wen Yan saw that Tang Yi was in high spirits, without any signs of fatigue, so his heart relaxed, and the two chatted and went back to the inn.

The first thing I did when I returned to the inn was to take a bath. I was gentle and careful, and I asked Xiao Er to prepare hot water. Tang Yi went to the toilet first, and there was a hot bath as soon as he returned to the room, which made Tang Yi feel comfortable. Now The weather is not so sweaty, but the smell of being smoked by the gas bomb is still quite disgusting. Tang Yi still can't wash it off after soaking in water.

Fortunately, the inn receives students who are taking scientific examinations all the year round. Knowing that some students have the habit of being elegant and clean, they have prepared several fragrances, some of which are used in the bathtub. Tang Yi chose a cold rosin to soak in the water , the cold snow air is mixed with the woody fragrance, and the reclining chair is intoxicated by it, and then I feel that I have become clean again.

Wen Yan saw that Tang Yi liked this kind of fragrance, so he asked for more and soaked Tang Yi's changed clothes, but Tang Yi thought the water was cold and refused to let him wash, so he gave the soaked clothes to Xiao Er, the inn There is laundry service, but you need to add two Wen for each item.

Seeing a large basin full of clothes being taken out, both Tang Yi and Wen Yan were quite touched. Tang Yi had just arrived in this strange time and space at this time last year. He didn’t have any shoes. In order to fill his stomach, Tang Yi braved the cold wind and went to the pier to do coolies. After a day of hard work, his waist was sore and his back hurt, but he could earn about [-] yuan. A quilt is content with such a life.

Looking at it now, the family has opened a workshop, has a rich family background, has no worries about food and clothing, and quilts are piled up in a cabinet. It is even more unbelievable that Tang Yi actually went to school and is taking the first pass of the imperial examination.

Within a year, the sky and the earth, the difference between clouds and mud.

Both of them were sobbing, and Tang Yi suddenly realized that the young man who was huddled by the door with a dirty and frightened face had grown into a delicate and beautiful pearl in this year. An outstanding talent who supported a workshop by himself, and seeing Wen Yan wearing a padded jacket made of royal blue muslin, his cheeks were rosy and healthy, and his eyes were crystal clear, really radiant.

Wen Yan was a little ashamed by him, turned his face away, his cheeks were flushed, Tang Yi smiled and thought that everything in Wen Yan had changed, except that his shyness hadn't changed, it was so cute.

"Ayan." Tang Yi called softly.

Wen Yan turned around, looking at Tang Yi suspiciously with bright eyes.

"you have grown up."
