I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Only students with advanced degrees can take part in the academy examination.

As long as you pass the exam, you will be a scholar.

During this period, many candidates from various states gathered in the city, and almost all inns, big and small, were full.

Business of all major teahouses, restaurants, and even brothels has improved a lot.

Some students often get together to discuss poetry and classics. During the day, they would go to teahouses or chess and music halls, and at night they would go boating or go to brothels to drink and have fun.

The name of the event is a gathering of literati.

There are many people who do shady things behind the scenes.

Every year there are always some students with outstanding literary talent who steal the show on the eve of exams, but in the end they miss the exams for one reason or another.

The same is true this year.

The next day, it was reported that someone had cheated a lot of money by selling test questions, and more than a dozen students were deceived.

It was later confirmed that the test papers were fake, but the students who bought the test papers were disqualified from taking the exam this year by the provincial education officials, with the reason being that "academics and theories all originate from the heart, and if the heart is not right, everything will be evil."

Two of them are hot candidates for the top three.

The news spread and reached the ears of Le Yan and Meng Qingrui, and the two of them were relieved for a long time.

Someone had secretly sold it to them at the beginning.

The two didn't understand at the time.

Looking back now, I understand what happened.

The day before the college entrance examination, the three heard gossip again, saying that a famous student from a certain county ate and free meals at a brothel and was thrown out by the brothel, and that someone was sick or broke his leg in an accident.

The more they listened, the more frightened they became.

He came to Qin Chi, wiped his sweat, and felt very relieved.

Qin Chi looked at the two of them unhappily, "If you want others to plot against you, you have to have the ability. What are you two worrying about? You will just be a gimmick at best."

Meng Qingrui and Le Yan sobbed after hearing this.

The teacher who just came over couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "That's right, those who can make people bother to calculate are all talented and have good literary talent."

For example, the case of selling fake test questions.

It is very likely that someone set a trap to specifically trick the two students who are recognized to have good knowledge, and the others are just extras, one by one.

According to Master Jing.

Meng Qingrui and Le Yan understood and looked at Qin Chi with envy.

Meng Qingrui chuckled and said, "Qian, why doesn't anyone come to plot against you?"

Qin Chi looked at him with a smile.

Le Yan answered for Qin Chi, "That requires him to go out. How can we plot if we can't even see him?"

"The servants in this courtyard are all trustworthy." The teacher reminded again.

Qin Chi is a student that Tachwan Academy focuses on.

Principal Lu Shan hopes that Qin Chi will win the first place in the academy this year and make Tachuan Academy famous in the provincial government.

The reputation of Tachuan Academy has declined significantly in recent years.

Every three years there would be students passing the imperial examination, but none of them would win first place.

Therefore, the teacher who led the team naturally cared most about Qin Chi and had already instructed the servants in the courtyard.

The leader of the team came here this time because he was worried that Qin Chi would be affected by external events, so he came to talk to him.

Le Yan and Meng Qingrui happened to be there too, so they said a few more words of encouragement.

Wait for the Master to leave.

Le Yan poked Meng Qingrui next to him and whispered, "Look at Qi'an. He looks a little absent-minded."

"I guess he's missing his wife, hehe."

Meng Qingrui probably knew Qin Chi. Not many things could affect him. Calculating the time, Qin Chi would soon become a father. "Besides, he will soon become a father."

"That's to congratulate Qi'an."

Le Yan looked at Qin Chi with envy.

The two of them spoke in low voices, but how loud is this place?

Qin Chi naturally heard everything they said. What's more, he was just wondering who was stirring up trouble. Now, after hearing what the two said, he really started to miss Song Jin.

Calculating the date, it's almost time for me to give birth.

Traditionally, giving birth to a child for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. It would be a lie for Qin Chi to say that he was not worried.

As a husband, he should have been by her side, but unfortunately his timing was not right, so he could only wait until the college entrance examination was over and then rush back, hoping to catch up.

The next day.

The first quarter of the Mao hour.

There were several long queues outside the government office.

The line stretched for several miles.

These are students from more than a dozen states and prefectures, accumulated over many years, which shows how large their number is.

Standing next to Qin Chi were Meng Qingrui and Le Yan, as well as other candidates from Tachuan Academy.

Under the arrangement of the team leader, we came to the back of a team.

There are no shortcuts.

Everyone was queuing up like this, and today was the first day to enter the examination room and get the examination room.

There is not much difference between the procedures of the academy examination and the provincial examination.

However, the top candidates no longer had their seat numbers, and were all dispersed and divided into different examination rooms. As for the seat numbers, they were drawn in advance, and one had to go in and find where they were to know whether they were good or bad.

"I hope it's not the stinky one."

Meng Qingrui muttered to himself at the number.

Le Yan thought about it and became nervous as well. "Don't keep nagging me. You make me nervous. My luck has always been bad. I got a bad grade in the last provincial exam."

"Then you shouldn't be that person this time." Meng Qingrui said firmly.

Le Yan straightened his back and asked, "What do you think about this?"

"This is a matter of probability. Few people get bad numbers repeatedly. If you got it last time, there's an 80% chance that you won't get it this time. You have to be very unlucky to get it repeatedly."

Meng Qingrui's statement was fresh and successfully put Le Yan at ease.

Zhen Qingrui then looked at Qin Chi with a grin, "The person most likely to draw a bad number is Qi'an. He didn't get one in the county exam or the prefecture exam before."

"Oh, thank you for your reminder."

Qin Chi really wanted to say that this guy was always capable and made his hands itch to hit someone.

For candidates, drawing a bad number is a disaster.

For the next few days, I had to smell the stench coming from the toilet all the time, and it was impossible for my mood not to be affected.

After going through layers of screening, you can enter.

Qin Chi looked at the seat number in his hand and walked south.

The examination rooms were opposite each other, and the corridor was narrow, only wide enough for two adults to walk side by side.

"Number thirty-six..."

When he found his room, Qin Chi's expression finally changed for a moment.

About ten feet away from the cell, there were two toilets facing each other.

The exam hasn’t started yet, so there’s no bad smell yet.

But Qin Chi could imagine how he would spend the next few days.

But there is nothing we can do about this.

I can’t go back and tell the academician that I want to change my number!

Then he might even be disqualified from taking the exam, not to mention taking it.

You can only hold your nose and think that you have bad luck.

Qin Chi entered the room.

The examination room was three feet wide and four feet high. If you went in there you had to bend over to avoid hitting your head. Also, the examination tables and stools were all dusty.

Qin Chi simply cleaned up the mess himself.

When I finished cleaning up, I turned around and looked at the room opposite. I was stunned and felt a little amused.

"Why is it you? Qingrui's probability is not right." Qin Chi joked with a smile.

Le Yan had a sad face, "When this man gets into trouble, I'm afraid of him myself."

"Hahaha……"
