Chapter 255: The Examination Ends
The next day, Gu Chengyu got up early in the morning.
I didn't finish the two steamed buns I bought in the examination room last night, and there was still some jerky left, Gu Chengyu planned to make these hot, and there was carbon in the little red clay stove, pour it into water, and boil a pot.
I've been eating dry food for the past few days until I'm bored, so I want to eat something thin.
This Gu Chengyu cooked fragrant meat soup, and the candidates who were still struggling to write hooked out the gluttonous worms in their stomachs.
"Goo-dong!" A candidate swallowed the saliva in his mouth, he had been writing from yesterday to now, and he had only eaten a steamed bun at night, and he was already hungry at this time.
I've been thinking about the exam questions all night, and I've only made two of them so far, how is this good? Such a difficult question, how can anyone still eat so deliciously?
The candidate poked his head out a little, thinking it was coming from the opposite row of inner seats.
If Gu Chengyu knew, he would definitely be able to admire the candidate's nose. The smell of such a stinky latrine even spread to their two rows of houses. The examinee was able to accurately distinguish the aroma of rice from the smell.
Gu Chengyu ate the meal, then spread out the test paper, preparing to finish the last question first. Because the test paper was about to be completed, and he would be able to leave the examination room in two hours, Gu Chengyu's mood became a little lighter, and he even ignored the smell.
Min Feng frowned and looked at the last question. In the first few questions, he already had one or two questions that he was not sure of, and he didn't know where to start with the last one.
Force yourself to calm down and think about the "two" articles in the Four Books and Five Classics.
The first two times, he was confident, but he didn't look at Chengyu and was not affected by the stink, he just described it as embarrassing! Xie Yuan is Xie Yuan after all, and his strongest opponents this time are Gu Chengyu and Fu Yanshan, as for Huang Junheng and Liu Haonan, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Huang Junheng just has a good cousin! If his cousin hadn't seen that Huang Junheng still had some potential, Huang Junheng would be so beautiful? As for some time ago, Huang Junheng came to him privately and proposed to let him join his cousin's door, but he was still hesitating.
Huang Junheng's cousin is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and it is the first assistant Xia Qing. As a candidate from Jiangnan, if he enters the faction of Jiangnan officials, it will not be easy for him to withdraw in the future. It's just that he is a candidate in Jiangnan, but I'm afraid that if he doesn't join Xia Qing's sect, people will also attribute him to Xia Qing's lineage.
Min Feng carefully pondered Xia Qing's style, he didn't get close to any prince, could he really be a pure minister? This can only deceive a fool like Liu Haonan. He didn't think so, but he couldn't see which prince Xia Qing was loyal to.
His ancestors have been mud legs for dozens of generations, and he is the only one who lifts people. The tribesmen all offered him to study, hoping that he would be able to take care of the clan in the future.
He didn't have any roots, relying on the connections he had slowly accumulated.
I closed my eyes, my heart flipped down, and I put my mind back on the exam paper. The questions he doesn't know, Gu Chengyu won't necessarily do, and the first and second in the township test won't be too different.
Gu Chengyu wrote the last question, and then copied it on the exam paper, looked at the sky, and it should be time to hand in the paper soon.
I read the paper again, and my name and place of origin have been filled in. I looked at the answers under the exam questions again, and felt that there was no problem, and after a while, the small bell rang on the side.
Gu Chengyu Shi Ran walked out of the number building and waited in the hall, this time he needed to wait for the row.
The candidates present only felt more urgent, and some candidates watched Gu Chengyu walk out of the examination room, and they were so angry that they made people panic for a while.
Originally, the question this time was difficult, and many candidates were not sure. The first to hand in the three exams, how can you not pull hatred?
Some candidates are anxious, and there is still half a day, and they have to hand in the paper before dark, even if they don't finish it, the examiner will not allow you to write, and it is impossible to write a word.
The candidates all looked sad, and in such a quiet examination room, the sound of the bell was particularly harsh. Min Feng can be sure that this is Gu Chengyu again.
Fu Yanshan was also meditating, he had already done the last question. The official who published the paper this year actually came up with such a tricky question, and the last question was not sure of him.
Gu Chengyu waited for the time of the first rehearsal and left the examination room.
There weren't many people who came out this time, Gu Chengyu took a look, and there were no acquaintances. Some of the candidates looked like ashes, while others were very confused, looking like they were in the chest, and there was no one.
However, without exception, the faces are not good-looking. I stayed in the examination room for nine days, not to mention my unkempt face, and my body was weak.
These people are in good shape, and three of them were carried out of the examination room halfway.
Even Gu Chengyu felt a little tired, but fortunately he was already away from the toilet, otherwise, he couldn't guarantee whether he would be carried out. In the past few days, he didn't eat much at all, and only forced himself to eat some steamed buns.
There were many family members of the candidates waiting outside the examination room, and some people carried sedan chairs and carriages and waited on the side.
After all, after every test, the candidates who come out are like being stripped of their skin, which one still has the strength to walk back?
Mingmo shuttled through the crowd, his son-in-law must have come out early, maybe he was already outside the examination room at this time.
Finally, through the crowd, Mingmo saw Gu Chengyu, who was slightly haggard, walking towards the periphery.
"Childe! Over here. Mingmo hurriedly ran over, he heard that when the candidates came out of the examination room, most of them were carried away, and his son-in-law must also be at the end of the crossbow.
Mingmo squeezed forward and ran to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu couldn't stand the smell on his body, and thought about going back to take a shower and sleep for a while.
"Let's go back first, you send a few little servants over, wait for the second aunt and Ye Gongzi to come out, and send them home."
At this time, Gu Chengyu didn't want to delay any longer, so he directly ordered Mingmo, followed to the carriage, and climbed into the carriage.
Seeing this, Ming Yan also knew that Gongzi was very tired, so he didn't say anything more, and drove the carriage to the house.
Gu Chengyu went back to the mansion and took a quick bath, and then fell asleep.
This sleep, I slept until the next day. Early in the morning, Gu Chengyu woke up in bed, if it weren't for the toilet, he wouldn't be so tired, sometimes he couldn't sleep all night because of the smell of the toilet.
Even those examiners who patrolled rarely walked to his house, which shows the strong taste.
"You sent someone to the second aunt and Ye Gongzi's house to ask, see if they are awake?" Gu Chengyu put on the clothes handed over by Ming Yan, and asked Sun Xian about them again.
This time, Deng Lun also referred to it, but he didn't see Deng Lun in the examination room. There are too many people, and besides, they have subordinates in big families, and it is not his turn to worry about them.
Gu Chengyu cleaned himself up refreshedly, he didn't think it just now, but when he smelled the food that Ming Mo had just brought, he was already singing about the empty city plan in his stomach.
