I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chen narrated what happened tonight, but deliberately blurred the existence of the bone girl. Subconsciously, she felt that it would be better for these people not to know the existence of the bone girl. She always believed in her intuition.It was only because someone rescued her, beat the mandrill away, and left without waiting for her to thank her.

Everyone also understood the situation a little bit, and did not ask too much.The monks apologized for what they should have apologized, and their attitudes were extremely low. It would make people feel sorry to blame these monks.

They searched the temple and found no sign of the mandrill, so they thought it had left Liugou Temple.Now that the mandrill has left, you can't just sit and wait until dawn in the middle of the night.

There must be no room for people to live in Mrs. Chen's room now. The other rooms in the temple have not been cleaned up, and Mrs. Chen doesn't want to bother the monks to clean them up in the middle of the night.She originally wanted to spend the night with Ruyu in the next room, but Mrs. Wang dragged her to live with her. After thinking about it, Mrs. Chen agreed.

Although Mrs. Wang's family background is not as high as that of the Chen family, she is the same as the Chen family in that she is also a weak woman who was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child.The difference is that Mrs. Chen is eager to leave the greenhouse and see the outside world, and she can still live tenaciously after leaving the greenhouse.But Mrs. Wang is not the same. She has a gentle temperament and very little courage. She is a delicate flower that can only grow in the greenhouse, and the kind that can be sunburned to death within a day of leaving the greenhouse.

Fortunately, this delicate flower met Wang Erlang instead of Wang Dalang. After marrying Wang Erlang, she has always been held in the palm of her hand, so that she can remain delicate and beautiful. Otherwise, she would have been crushed and crushed. The world of mortals is with the dust.

It is also because of her character that when she encounters Chen Shi encountering a monster, she cries worse than Chen Shi, and Chen Shi, the victim, wants to comfort her in turn.

Mrs. Chen also knew what she meant. Once this happened at night, she would not dare to sleep alone, and she was unwilling to sleep with the maid, so she wanted to sleep with Mrs. Chen.Secondly, if something happens at night, it is good to have someone to take care of it.

After the room was allocated, everyone went back to sleep. They just lay on the bed. I don't know how many people opened their ears, listening to the sounds outside, not daring to fall asleep again.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night, and it passed away peacefully.In the early morning of the next day, the sky cleared up, and the group didn't stay long. After having breakfast in the temple, they were ready to go back home.

The heavy rain overnight soaked the originally dry and solid dirt road to soften it little by little. The ground was extremely muddy and there were puddles everywhere. If the carriage was not paying attention, it would sink into the mud pit.

Even so, no one wants to stay in Liugou Temple until the road is dry.In order to prevent accidents and save time, no one was sitting in the carriage, and everyone was walking. The coachman drove the empty carriage towards Yuping City.

Fortunately, Lingshan is not too far away from Yuping City. The reason why it took so long to reach the top of the mountain is purely because of the high mountain.The speed of the female relatives was not fast. The group stopped and went, like a walk, and returned to Wang's house before noon.

Afterwards, Ji Zihe completely stayed out of the door, and Ning Caichen did the same. The two concentrated on studying at home and preparing for the exam.

Of course, there are also many candidates who were not affected by the exam. The two of them have been at home for the past few days, and many invitations have been sent to the mansion every day.These invitations were not for the Wang family, some were for Ning Caichen, but most of them were for Ji Zihe, after all, candidates at Ji Zihe's age were too conspicuous.

Ning Caichen told Ji Zihe that these candidates who are still making friends with candidates who are not preparing for the exam, in fact, are all people who did not plan to pass the exam this time or failed the provincial exam at all.Don't waste time with them, just concentrate on reviewing.

Ji Zihe expressed his understanding, and Ning Caichen was very relieved, and then told the concierge that they were going to prepare for the provincial examination, and if someone came to send a greeting card in the future, just decline it directly, and don't need to ask them again.

In a few days, it will be the eighth day of August, and the autumn will begin.

The township examination has three consecutive exams, each of which takes three days, and each exam has to be entered one day in advance, so although the official exam is only on the [-]th, the candidates will go to the Gongyuan on the [-]th.

Early this morning, the gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people.There are candidates, and many of them are sent to take the exam.During the last exam, it was Ning Caichen who sent Ji Zihe into the exam room. This time, it was the two of them entering the exam room together.Mrs. Wang paid great attention to their exams. Dalang was lying on the bed and couldn't move around, so Erlang let Erlang put down his business and send them to the exams.

The combination of Ji Zihe and Ning Caichen, a junior and a junior, has attracted the attention of many people. It is rare to see two candidates from one family, and even Wang Erlang, who sent them for the exam, feels honored.This time, he sent his cousin to take the exam. I don't know if he sent his brother to take the exam for a day.

The entrance examination for the township examination has become more stringent. Ji Zihe was already very nervous, and because he was young, the guards immediately looked at him wrongly during the examination, so he was taken care of emphatically.All the clothes were stripped, even a pair of underpants were checked, and his hair was also untied and pulled, just to suspect this kid He is a scholar who is not worthy of the name, and he has a belt hidden on his body.

Ji Zihe couldn't protest against this kind of differential treatment. After all, he was also acting impartially, so strict inspections should be strict. Anyway, he didn't have anything on him, not even the relic that was always hanging around his neck.

The guard didn't find anything, no matter how suspicious he was, he could only return the test basket to Ji Zihe and let him pass.Ji Zihe touched his test basket, looked inside, and found that the steamed cakes and steamed buns he carried in the test basket had been broken into many pieces, and the jar of pickles didn't seem to have changed much, but Ji Zihe believed it, sure It has also been turned over several times.

During the township examination, eating, drinking and sleeping have to be done in the dormitory. Today's August day is quite hot, and even the most delicious food will taste bad the next day.Instead of eating those things at the risk of getting a stomachache, it's better to prepare something long-lasting.

Ji Zihe and Ning Caichen's house is not together, but Ji Zihe is not a rookie who took the exam for the first time, so it doesn't worry Ning Caichen that much.

The house is very simple, with only two boards, a charcoal pot and a candle inside.There are grooves on the wall, and the board can be disassembled. At night, the front board is removed, aligned with the rear board and placed on the wall, and you can lie down and sleep.During the exam, if you raise the front board higher, it can be used as a table, and the rear board is naturally a chair.

When Ji Zihe was eating, he went to get the dry food in the test basket, but found that there was something extra in the basket. Where did this delicious chicken leg come from? It wasn't there when he got the test basket just now.

Cough, well, Ji Zihe can also guess, who else but bones.Although Meng Zhang felt that it was completely unnecessary, Gu Gu felt that it was very necessary.As the saying goes, you can learn well by eating well. Don’t ask me who said this saying, probably only the bones know it.He didn't dare to stay too far away from the relics before, but now Meng Zhang can leave at will, his bones are soft and hard, and he insisted that Meng Zhang agree to be responsible for smuggling Ji Zihe's three meals a day during the exam.

However, Gu Gu refused to let Meng Zhang show up, and asked him to secretly deliver meals.His reason was that he was afraid that Ji Zihe would be distracted by seeing Meng Zhang.In fact, this narrow-minded bone doesn't want Meng Zhang to show his presence in front of Ji Zihe, so he doesn't want Xiao Hezi to appreciate this guy pretending to be himself.

On the ninth day of the ninth day, the exam officially began.In fact, Ji Zihe was still very nervous. At the beginning, he made several mistakes, but fortunately, it was a draft.But it didn't take long before he was immersed in the test questions and completely forgot about being nervous.

Yan Chixia squatted at the corner of the street, staring at the gate of Wang's house. This person had big funeral characters written on them.He had been waiting for several days. Why didn't this scholar surnamed Wang go out? If he didn't come out, he still played with his junior sister.

He thinks that this philandering radish should be quite interested in his junior sister. If he doesn't go to the study for a few days, is it possible that his family's tigress broke his leg in anger at him in the outer room?

Yan Chixia has never met Mrs. Chen, and the reason why she is called a tigress is purely because Wang Sheng always hears Wang Sheng calling his wife various nicknames when listening to the wall in the study, and the tigress is one of them.Although the tigress doesn't appear many times, compared to those nicknames like poisonous women, he feels more comfortable.

I have to say that Yan Chixia's guess was really close to ten. Isn't Wang Yuyi lying on the bed with a broken leg now, although she was not beaten because she had an outside room.

The crazy beggar hummed an out-of-key song, sat down beside Yan Chixia, and put his dirty paws on Yan Chixia's arm.

Yan Chixia glanced back, thinking that she had taken his place, she slapped the beggar's hand off, and moved to the side.The crazy beggar also moved to the side, and lay down on Yan Chixia's back.Yan Chixia stood up irritably, but the crazy beggar fell down on the ground before he could react.

Yan Chixia didn't want to bother with a beggar at first, and he had not been in Yuping for a day or two, so he naturally knew about this beggar.He's just a lunatic, why bother to get angry with him, he can just find a place to squat down.As a result, as soon as he lifted his foot, a crazy beggar hugged one of his legs.

Yan Chixia frowned, took out her purse, took out two pennies and threw it on the ground, "Let go."

The crazy beggar didn't look at the two pennies, and raised his face, showing his white teeth.Yan Chixia's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help thinking, this beggar doesn't even wash his face, so is it possible that he still cleans his teeth every day?

"Xiaoxia, are you here to look for me?" The crazy beggar asked with a smile.

"Who is Xiaoxia, let me go... Wait, is it possible that you are Master Baifeng?" Yan Chixia's eyes widened, startled by her guess.

Xiaoxia's feminine name is only called by his coquettish uncle Baifeng, but such a glamorous, clean Baifeng, no one can connect him with the dirty beggar on the ground.

The smile on the crazy beggar's face gradually disappeared, he let go of Yan Chixia's legs, lay on the ground and slowly curled up, wrapped his arms around his legs, curled himself into a ball, and said aggrievedly, "No one loves me?"
