Good luck every time

Li Ruyi hurriedly pushed Han Shian back to the room. Han Shian blocked the rain on Li Ruyi's head with one hand and pushed Li Ruyi away in panic with the other hand.

"You go back first!"

They ran under the eaves, but the rain was too heavy and the splashing rain water still flew everywhere.

Han Shian went to see Li Ruyi first.

The lanterns under the eaves were much brighter, and the hair that had been flying around just now stuck to her face. She no longer looked shabby, but seemed to have a thrilling and charming line, which she wiped away with her hand.

Han Shian took a deep breath, turned around, and pushed her towards his room.

"Go back to sleep! You promised to send me off tomorrow..."

Li Ruyi leaned her back on Han Shian's palm and was pushed by him into the room.

“I don’t know if the rain will stop tomorrow morning.”

Han Shian said stubbornly.

"Whether you stop or not, I will ask you to send me to the Imperial Examination Hall."

Li Ruyi smiled.

"Of course! Not only will I send you there, I will also bring you back! Not only this time, but I will also send you there for the next time..."

After a night of wind and rain, Li Ruyi got up before dawn the next day.

With each autumn rain comes a chill. When Li Ruyi woke up in the morning she felt her breath was foggy.

She hurriedly checked Han Shian's exam basket again and gave him another piece of coarse cloth.

This piece of clothing is long and big. Although it doesn't keep you warm, it can block the wind and can be used as a quilt.

The college entrance examination of Da Qi was divided into four sessions, two main examinations and two re-examinations.

The regular exam lasts for three days and consists of two essays and one poem. There is a five-day break between the exams, when the results will be announced and the test papers will be posted.

The re-examination lasts one day, six hours, and there is a seven-day interval between the main examination. There is no interval between the two re-examinations.

The first re-examination tests one fu and one poem or one policy and one essay, and the second re-examination tests the four arts in short lectures.

After four exams, the scores will be combined to rank the candidates. The re-examination results will not affect whether you pass or not, it only affects the ranking.

Therefore, many people did not take the exam after taking the two regular exams due to physical conditions or other reasons, but finally passed the exam.

If you want to get the first place, you have to take all four exams.

Han Shian naturally had to take all the exams as well.

If he gets first place in all three exams this year, he will get the top three prizes.

In addition to him, there was also a student from another county who won two first places in a row.

In the gambling house, everyone started betting on whether the two of them could win the small three yuan.

Li Ruyi doesn't gamble, but she is quite interested in it.

After she got up, Han Shian also got up quickly.

The two of them squatted in the kitchen to eat. They had to set off at yin hour. The Imperial Examination Hall started to let people in at Mao hour, but they had to be checked upon entering. It was always better to line up in advance than to be squeezed by the noisy crowd behind.

Of course, there were many people who thought like them, and some even arranged for their servants to line up in the middle of the night.

Li Ruyi had no servant, and Han Shiyu was still studying in the county academy.

But they also have a junior brother/brother Li Er, who got up early and went to line up.

The two were eating when Xiaoman, with a resentful look on her face and messy hair, floated in.

Li Ruyi looked at her by the light of the fire on the stove.

"what happened?"

Xiaoman sighed.

"I'll go with you!"

Li Ruyi was a little surprised.

"You're going too? You haven't even combed your hair yet..."

Xiaoman widened her eyes and regained a lot of spirit.

"I comb my hair really fast!"

Li Ruyi didn't know what was wrong with the kid, so she just asked her openly.

"Why do you have such a sudden thought so early in the morning?"

Xiaoman had already gone to fetch the basin of water, and spoke as she threw the towel that was about to fall over her shoulder.

"We are brothers and sisters from the same sect. When something big happens, of course no one can be left behind!"

Li Ruyi took a deep breath and felt that children’s thoughts were really different from those of ordinary people. However, she didn’t say anything. Let them go if they want!

"Okay, then hurry up and wash up. I'll pack you two steamed buns to eat on the way."

Xiaoman agreed repeatedly.

Li Ruyi finished his meal quickly and went out to feed the horses and harness the carriage.

She was used to doing these jobs and didn't think anything of it.

Han Shian also came out to help after he had eaten.

It rained most of last night, and there was not a cloud in the sky this morning.

The day dawned quickly, and when Li Ruyi drove out, the sky was already turning pale.

In the carriage, Han Shian checked the examination basket and put it beside him when he found no problems.

Xiaoman sat opposite him, holding a knife, looking very nervous.

Li Ruyi waved the whip and the carriage slowly drove into the main road.

The Imperial Examination Hall in the city was not in the center, and Li Ruyi was neither far nor close to it.

When I went out, the curfew had just ended, and I could still see groups of city guards leaving.

There were not many people on the road and the carriage was moving very fast.

When Li Ruyi was halfway there, he suddenly discovered that the road ahead had been dug up.

The pit is neither big nor small, but a carriage definitely can't pass through.

Li Ruyi hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to turn around, he stopped and got off the carriage.

The carriage stopped and Xiaoman lifted the curtain.

"What's wrong, second sister?"

Li Ruyi waved her hand.

"It's okay! Protect your brother Han."

As she spoke, she pulled out a few thick wooden boards from the storage area at the back of the carriage and laid them on the pit.

As the carriage stumbled past, Li Ruyi's expression turned alert.

She thought about it and felt that someone might have done it on purpose just to lead them to a certain road.

Han Shian's exam time cannot be missed, so Li Ruyi gave up the opportunity to find out the truth and simply took a detour to the main road. He didn't believe that these people would dare to dig up the road in front of the county government office.

At this time, more and more people were gathering here. When we got closer to the Imperial Examination Hall, we could hear someone shouting "Zhuangyuan Cake".

Although the implication is good, no one would eat anything outside during such an important moment as an exam. Some people would buy it, but many people would not.

Li Ruyi ignored these people and drove all the way to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.

They arrived neither too early nor too late, and there were quite a few people gathered at the door. Li Ruyi drove the carriage to the nearest position, stood up and looked for Li Er in the crowd.

Although there is a curfew, some families in the city have privileges and will not be troubled if they come out with the token.

Some people are just brave and good at fighting.

For example, Li Er, he stood among the servants with his arms folded, in a very front position.

Li Ruyi hooked his finger and blew a whistle in the direction of Li Er. In an instant, many people turned around to look over.

She was dressed very casually today, with an ordinary girl's bun, and wearing the silver hairpin that Han Shian gave her later. In order to have a good start, she wore a light red fine cloth bodice.

The bodice is very plain, without even any embroidery.

However, because of her age, and the sharpness of a warrior in her every move, she has a kind of free and easy nature that is rarely seen in ordinary people.

Many people's eyes lit up, thinking she was some quirky little girl. The next moment, these looks at her became more intriguing.

When Li Er heard the familiar whistle, he quickly turned around. He saw Li Ruyi, smiling brightly. He nodded at her, then turned around and continued waiting.

Li Ruyi also sat back in her original seat with confidence, turned around and lifted the car curtain.

"Once we get there, nothing will happen to us."

Han Shian nodded.

"Ok!"

Li Ruzhi saw that he was in good condition, so he continued.

"If you feel sleepy, take a rest."

Han Shian smiled and shook his head.

"Fortunately."

Xiaoman yawned and turned to look outside.

The surroundings became more and more lively. As the examinees arrived one after another, the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was packed with people.

Li Ruyi was not in a hurry and sat outside the carriage looking around.

Suddenly, Li Ruyi had an extremely strong feeling that someone was watching her, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the gaze.

An indigo blue brocade curtain embroidered with water cloud patterns swayed in her sight. The owner of the carriage had hidden himself.

Li Ruyi frowned and his eyes fell on the emblem on the front of the carriage.

ginger

This was a carriage belonging to a big family in the city. Li Ruyi raised his eyebrows and turned his head back.

She seemed to know who was sitting inside!

Inside the carriage, a man in luxurious brocade clothes angrily hit the servant's head with his folding fan.

"Why did you let down the curtain? Do you think I am not worthy of being seen?"

The servant quickly forced a flattering smile.

"Master! This... I have never peeked at a girl before... I was so flustered."

Liu Linxuan sneered.

"Taking something without asking is stealing. If you don't put down the curtain, we can admire it openly. If someone sees us, we can just say hello."

"But you put down the curtain, and it turned out to be a mess!"

The servant admitted his mistake with a chuckle.

"Haha...yes, Master, you are right. It was all my fault for being so confused."

Liu Linxuan knew what he was thinking.

"Don't do such stupid things in the future. If I look at a girl a few more times, you don't need to worry about me!"

The servant's heart tightened and he quickly expressed his loyalty.

"Master, you are innocent. How dare I do that? Even if I had the courage, I would not dare to interfere with you. I was really confused for a moment..."

Liu Linxuan didn't say anything else, turned his head and closed his eyes to rest.

However, the beautiful figure at that moment could not be erased from his mind. In the dim light, he could not see the woman's face clearly, but he remembered the stunning glimpse at that moment.

On the other side, Li Ruyi frowned slightly, unable to remember when Liu Linxuan passed the examination to become a scholar.

But we are about the same age, so it is normal for him to come back in recent years.

Speaking of familiarity, Li Ruyi is more familiar with Liu Linxuan than Zhao You.

Liu Linxuan was none other than the classmate who had tried to take Li Ruyi away from Zhao You.

This person can't be said to be good or bad, and Li Ruyi can't say whether she likes or dislikes him.

However, when I first fell into the Jiaofangsi, I missed it for two months. After all, when people fall into different classes, they will always miss the good old days.

However, Li Ruyi lived a glorious life in this life, and that insignificant person in her previous life could hardly stir up any more waves in her heart.

If there is a chance to take advantage of it, Li Ruyi will not let him go.

If he couldn't be used, Li Ruyi wouldn't pay too much attention to him.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Han Shian came out with the exam basket. Xiaoman followed him proudly, helped him squeeze through the people blocking the way, and sent him to Li Er.

Han Shian wanted to say that there was no need to do this, but Xiaoman raised her hand and stopped him from speaking.

"Brother Han, you don't need to say more. Just keep the things between us brothers and sisters in mind. Don't be too moved!"

Han Shian was very gentle most of the time, and seeing that Xiaoman was happy, he just went along with her.

Perhaps in Xiaoman's mind, he was just an image of a weak scholar. After sending him there, Xiaoman was still worried, so she pulled Li Eryi to stand on both sides of Han Shian, helping him to separate all the people who wanted to get close to him.

Not to mention, although it was a bit crowded, those who wanted to trip Han Shian outside the Imperial Examination Hall did not find any opportunity.

It was not until the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened and the bailiffs inside came out to drive them away that Xiaoman pretended to be a pitiful child and was the last one to leave Han Shian.

When Han Shian entered the room, he turned to look at Li Ruyi who was standing on the carriage and watching in the distance.

Li Ruyi also waved at him.

The morning light shone through the street onto Li Ruyi's head. She had her back to the light, so Han Shian couldn't see her expression. He only saw her scattered hair flying in the morning breeze.

Han Shian chuckled, turned around and walked into the Imperial Examination Hall.

He didn't notice that Liu Linxuan, who was not far behind him, also turned around and looked in the direction of Li Ruyi like him. Even after Han Shian entered the room, he was still staring blankly.

The people behind him looked at him in gorgeous clothes, wanting to urge him on, but feeling in awe, they could only cough lightly to remind him.

Liu Linxuan came to his senses, turned around and walked towards the Imperial Examination Hall, looking back as he walked.

Li Ruyi's figure was obscured by the carriage, and the aqua red stood out in the darkness.

The person behind Liu Linxuan didn't notice that the gentleman was in a daze again, and stepped on Liu Linxuan's heel, and both of them almost tripped.

Liu Linxuan finally came to his senses and scolded with an unhappy look on his face.

"Don't you even look where you're going?"

The person behind him didn't dare to offend him and apologized repeatedly with his hands clasped.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The commotion here did not attract anyone's attention. Xiaoman pulled Li Er back and climbed onto the carriage excitedly.

"Second sister, let's go home quickly! I'm so sleepy!"

Li Ruyi sighed speechlessly.

"Second sister can't do anything! Look at the carriage outside. It will take at least half an hour to disperse. If you are sleepy, you can rest in the carriage!"

Xiaoman:......

She looked back at the crowd of people and instantly wilted.

Li Er laughed at her.

"Ouch! You're not being lazy!"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him, her little face puffed up with anger.

"I'm not lazy! I practice diligently every day! Unlike you, the master still scolds you."

Li Er smacked his lips, looking like he was asking for a slap in the face, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't believe it at all."

Xiao Man angrily reached out and grabbed his nose.

Li Er hurriedly dodged and begged for mercy.

"No! Mr. Xiaoman hasn't taught his students these days, why has his temper become so bad?"

Xiaoman hums.

"Who said I don't teach students! Ye Sheng is my student now, and he's learning very well!"

Li Ruyi listened to Li Er and Xiao Man bickering and shook his head speechlessly, his eyes still on the open gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

There are many people like her. The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall was not closed, which meant that the body search was not over and it was still unknown whether the people inside could stay.
