Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Han Zheng walked out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall and saw Li Yu and Han Xiaomei. He immediately quickened his pace and walked through the crowd towards them.

Li Yu also saw him, took a few steps forward, and then pulled him up and down to look him up.

Seeing that he looked fine, she led him to the carriage and said, "You must be hungry. There are snacks in the carriage. Eat some first to fill your stomach. The soup is already cold, so don't drink it yet."

After spending three days and two nights in a cell that was barely wide enough for him to turn around, Han Zheng was filled with joy when he was able to have his family care about him. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you, second sister-in-law."

There were so many people at the moment that it was difficult for the carriage to move forward. It took almost a quarter of an hour to move less than a hundred meters.

Li Yu was not in a hurry and just watched Han Zheng eat snacks quietly.

She didn't ask Han Zheng how he did in the exam. The provincial examination had not yet ended, so it was better not to ask too much at this time.

Unexpectedly, Han Zheng took the initiative to say, "The first round is the Sutra Interpretation, which is not difficult. I think it's no problem."

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "You are the smartest. If you think it is good, then it must be good. Just do your best in the next two games, but also take care of your health."

Han Zheng was calm and composed: "I know, sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't joke about my body."

After returning to the courtyard, Han Xiaomei immediately lit a fire to boil water for Han Zheng to wash.

Li Yu took out his exam basket, cleaned it, dried it, and put new food in it.

She had prepared snacks, this time it was date cake, but as usual, she cut it into small pieces in advance to prevent the searching soldiers from breaking it with their hands that had touched who knows how many things.

Several people were busy, and after dinner when it got dark, they didn't waste any time and immediately turned off the lights and went to bed.

Li Yu still couldn't fall asleep. At midnight, she got up and made fish soup for Han Zheng. After Han Zheng finished eating, she and Lu Xuan sent him to the Imperial Examination Hall.

In fact, they could choose to go at dawn and wait until the end to pass the inspection and enter the tribute hall, so that Han Zheng could sleep at least two more hours, but no one knew if there would be any changes in the tribute hall. If they couldn't get in because they went too late, they would regret it. It would be better to go early so that they could get some shut-eye in the dormitory.

This time, Li Yu didn't let Han Xiaomei and Si'er follow him. They were both still children, so it was better for them to sleep at home.

Just like the first scene, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened at the hour of Yin, followed by a new round of body searches.

Han Zheng came early today and went in early. Li Yu took a look at the door and then went back with Lu Xuan.

After resting at home for a day, she waited outside the Imperial Examination Hall the day before the second exam, bringing snacks, braised meat and hot water.

Lu Xuan was very puzzled, staring with wide eyes and asked: "Boss Li, it's only the second day, you don't need to come, did you miscalculate the time?"

Li Yu shook his head. "I'm not mistaken. Today is the fifth day of the provincial examination. Some people can't stand staying in such a small room. I was afraid that something might happen to Han Zheng, so I came here to wait."

If something really went wrong, she could discover it in time and take him back to recuperate.

Lu Xuan suddenly realized and admired the students in the Imperial Academy. It would be hard for him to stay in a small place for nine days and six nights. Even if he could hold on physically, he would collapse mentally. It was not easy for those students.

*

Starting from that afternoon, candidates were sent out almost every hour. All of them looked pale, and it was obvious that they were not in good physical condition. They failed under the extremely depressing environment and high-intensity mental work.

Fortunately, Han Zheng is not here.

On the last day of the second examination, more candidates were carried out from the Imperial Examination Hall. Twenty to thirty of them were carried out in one morning, ranging from seventeen or eighteen years old to forty or fifty years old.

Han Xiaomei was terrified, fearing that the next person to be carried out would be her third brother.

Fortunately, Han Zheng performed well and came out with the other candidates after the second exam.

This time his face was a little pale, obviously he was tired. After Li Yu helped him get on the carriage, he quickly poured him a cup of sugared red date tea.

Han Zheng took it and drank it in one gulp.

"Don't worry, there's more." Li Yu poured him another cup and handed it to him, "Can you still hold on? If not, we won't take the third exam."

The third round was a policy essay test, which was Han Zheng’s strong point but also required some brainpower.

"I can do it, sister-in-law, don't worry." Han Zheng held the teacup, his face tired but his eyes clear, "I have been exercising this year for the provincial examination, I can make it this time."

Li Yu looked at his determined expression and said nothing more.

Fearing that something might happen to Han Zheng in the third game, Li Yuduo brought him some sugar and walnuts to help him replenish his energy.

This time they set off in the middle of the night again. After arriving at the place, Li Yu talked to Han Zheng while Lu Xuan watched the carriage.

With half a quarter of an hour left before the Imperial Examination Hall opened, Feng Zhe, the person Li Yu least wanted to see, arrived.

After he came over, without waiting for Han Zheng and Li Yu to speak, he started talking about his answers in the previous two rounds.

The confident look on his face as he spoke attracted a lot of attention.

At the end, he patted Han Zheng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You hurt your hand, there is nothing we can do about it, try harder next time. You have talent, and you will definitely pass the exam next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall creaked open.

Feng Zhe was about to return to his seat, but after taking a few steps, he was stopped by Han Zheng.

Han Zheng looked at him expressionlessly, and said word by word: "What nonsense are you talking about? My left hand was injured, not my right hand. It doesn't affect my writing at all. Besides, my left hand has healed a long time ago!"

*

Li Yu didn't expect Han Zheng to confront Feng Zhe at this time.

Her plan was to wait until Han Zheng entered the Imperial Examination Hall and then go find Feng Zhe to tell him that Han Zheng's hand was not injured and that Han Zheng had answered very well in the first two rounds.

Feng Zhe cares so much about Han Zheng, so facing such news, it is inevitable that his emotions will fluctuate, and the third game will definitely be affected.

Li Yu is not a good person. Before the first exam, when Feng Zhe deliberately shouted Han Zheng's name here in an attempt to create trouble for Han Zheng, she had several ideas of counterattack in her mind. The reason why she didn't do anything was that she didn't want to affect Han Zheng. She was safe and sound, and Han Zheng was at ease, so he could concentrate on answering the questions.

As a result, Han Zheng suddenly fought back.

Li Yu looked at Feng Zhe's suddenly changing expression, and quietly moved in front of Han Zheng, saying loudly: "Student Feng, they have already started entering the venue, why don't you return to your seat?"

Feng Zhe's chest heaved up and down, and he pointed at Li Yu and said, "You lied to me! You..."

"What are you yelling about? Hurry up and line up!" Two soldiers came over from the door and pointed at Feng Zhe and shouted.

Feng Zhe's expression changed several times, and when he turned and left, his steps were a little staggering.

Tonight Han Zheng stood closer to the front than the previous two times, and it would be his turn soon.

Li Yu watched him go in smoothly, then returned to the carriage with peace of mind, ready to leave.

Just as he adjusted his direction, Feng Zhe came over unwillingly, holding the exam basket, and glared at Li Yu fiercely: "Why did you lie to me?"
