Chapter 103 113 Provincial Examination (2)

At most one or two hours before the exam, the examinees introduced each other, and then returned to the state of reviewing or chatting. All because of different goals.

Weng Xilian showed great enthusiasm and almost pulled Cheng Jinzhou to introduce him to the potted plants in the yard. Only then did Xiao Cheng know that this place was a separate courtyard of the Weng family.

Liu Qingshuang behaved generously, sitting in the small pavilion in the yard, taking out the teapot and cooking, as if she had no other distractions.

In the entire house, there are about 40 to [-] people waiting for the exam. Whether they know each other or not, they are all humble and polite.Zhao Quan was hiding in the room ready to move, Lu Anping saw what he was thinking, and persuaded him: "If Cheng Jinzhou doesn't even pass the examination for a scholar when his fame comes out today, if you work harder, you might be able to break up the engagement. Why be in a hurry."

"How could the Liu family get engaged to a star warlock just because of a scholar's reputation?" Zhao Quanwen muttered to himself.

"It's all about human effort. If you can get the fame of juren, you won't be much weaker than him." Lu Anping said purely comforting words, but in fact both of them knew that Cheng Jinzhou had surpassed too much.The astromancer is their family, and they cannot be humiliated.

Zhao Quan looked at Liu Qingshuang, who was charming and charming, and said, "For the current plan, we should get rid of Cheng Jinzhou."

Lu Anping was startled, his eyes widened and he said, "You're crazy. If a two-star warlock dies, the Star Warlock Association will come to investigate."

"Before he was afraid of wolves and later he was afraid of tigers, but now there are tigers, how can there be tiger cubs." Zhao Quan said with a snort, "If he doesn't have a star array, he will have no chance to send anyone in the future."

As he spoke, he stood up and went to find his followers on his own.

Lu Anping felt chills all over his body, he was not used to lawlessness like Zhao Quancheng, a local county prince.The two are like the son of the county magistrate and the son of the director. In the local environment of fighting for fathers, although the latter has a high official title, there is no way to guard against there being a bigger one.He looked at the direction in which Zhao Quan was leaving, and followed him helplessly. Since the latter told him the matter, it was like taking him out of the water. He still had a glimmer of hope that he could persuade Zhao Quan to return. burden.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't know the undercurrent surging behind him, but there was a spring tide surging before his eyes.Although Weng Xilian is young, she seems to be naturally charming, and her bulging breasts prove that she is fully mature.

Weng Xilian seemed to have a special liking for all kinds of exotic plants, and she pulled Cheng Jinzhou's sleeve with one hand without hesitation, introduced her collection to him, and said: "This is just a place where I collect potted plants. There are many types in the family, and I will take you to see it when you are a scholar."

The beautiful woman smiled cleverly.Cheng Jinzhou said proudly, "It's nothing to be a scholar, you need to be a Jinshi."

He secretly thought that if he reached Covenant Level 4, he might really be able to find a way to cheat in the examination.

"As expected of a two-star warlock." Weng Xilian said in an admiring tone: "Father always said that star warlocks are the smartest people in the world. They understand the deepest rules of the universe and provide human beings with the ultimate solution. Everyone will no longer be hungry, and everyone will have a mansion to live in..."

When she was speaking, it seemed as if stars could really shine between her eyebrows and eyes.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at it in a daze, trying desperately to think about how he spent his adolescence back then.I don't know if there were any female classmates who talked to me like Weng Xilian back then, and I don't know if I lost many precious opportunities back then...

The surrounding aristocratic candidates were all reading in low voices, and Cheng Jinzhou chanted with emotion: "There are tens of thousands of mansions in An De Guang Mansion, which shelters the underprivileged people in the world and makes them all happy."

Reading Du Fu's old poem softly, Cheng Jinzhou felt it was too sour, and laughed to himself: "In another 500 years, poor people will still be unable to live. This is just a fantasy."

"Why did Mr. Cheng say that?" At some point, Liu Qingshuang came out of the small pavilion and asked softly.

When she spoke, she would look straight at Weng Xilian, without any hesitation in her expression.

Cheng Jinzhou is not good at discussing such emotional topics, so he said nonsense, "Because everyone likes excess profits. Basic necessities are people's necessities. If you don't earn excess profits from this, some people will not be able to earn money."

Weng Xilian held onto Cheng Jinzhou's sleeve and said, "Based on this poem, I believe that Mr. Cheng will be a Jinshi."

The two beauties surrounded Cheng Jinzhou, and the proud gentleman who didn't know the truth stood up and said loudly: "Some people don't look at their own appearance, even anyone can get a Jinshi and a beggar. people."

Sure enough, it is the theory of noble children.Cheng Jinzhou looked down at the collar he had torn off earlier, and felt that he was indeed very similar to Du Fu.

It was Weng Xilian who defended him and said: "Zhou Mingkai, if you can get the title of two-star warlock, come here to give lectures again."

"Even if you are a two-star warlock, you may not be able to get a scholar. Let's wait and see." The nobleman said something polite, left the house in a hurry, got into the car and prepared to go to the ritual courtyard.Others started talking about it, and the word "two-star warlock" was the most popular among them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Cheng Qian was also worried that someone would offend Cheng Jinzhou and turn his anger on him, so he hurriedly came forward and said, "Third brother, let's have something to eat and prepare for the exam."

Liu Qingshuang came over and said generously: "I have prepared tea, please try some."

Cheng Jinzhou froze for a moment, replied "OK", and walked over.

The Xia Dynasty was very particular about tea, and the tea they talked about not only refers to the leaves on the tea tree, but also includes the stems and leaves of many other plants. How to prepare it is also a matter of skill.Liu Qingshuang is naturally very insightful in tea ceremony, just look at Weng Xilian's silence.

However, at this time, Cheng Jinzhou didn't have much thought to criticize, especially because he felt weird about Liu Qingshuang. He raised his tea cup and took a few sips without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, Shi Yan came to urge, Cheng Jinzhou just stood up as if he had been amnestied, and said goodbye: "Thank you for the tea."

He didn't even know what to call it.

Liu Qingshuang saluted generously, and before Cheng Jinzhou turned around, she said in a low voice: "The family is arguing endlessly. If you hadn't obtained a two-star warlock, Qingshuang might have been grounded."

"Why?" Cheng Jinzhou asked stupidly.

Liu Qingshuang shook her head and said: "Dad's life in Hexi was not smooth..."

Cheng Jinzhou reacted, but he could only smile wryly in return.Every family has a difficult scripture to recite, and he can't help much.

"I wish you good luck." Liu Qingshuang performed a standard lady's ceremony.For her, whether Cheng Jinzhou can pass the provincial examination is also extremely important. At least for the opponents of the Liu family, they need to re-evaluate to determine their bottom line.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded silently.Weng Xilian also said softly behind her: "I wish you all the best."

The same words came out of her mouth with an extra layer of charm.

……

It took a full two hours from the opening of the ceremony hall to the end of entering, and there were astrologists checking by the side.

When Cheng Jinzhou and the others arrived, most of the people had already entered, and some pretending servants lined up to make way for them to get in.The other children were dissatisfied and could not say anything.

When Cheng Jinzhou was about to enter the door, the inspecting astromancer only gestured and waved him in, with a smile on his face.The officials from the Ministry of Rites seemed to be aware of it, and they reached out their hands to stop Cheng Jinzhou, saying, "Wait a minute, go and search for him."

The latter sentence was said to the soldiers in the Liyuan.

In the imperial examination, the most indignant thing among the students is the body search.Once the academic officers of the Academy of Rituals make such a request, they must take off all their clothes and undergo a naked inspection to ensure that there is no entrainment. In some extreme cases, the reckless soldiers will ask to check all the corners of the body that can hide objects .

This is definitely a matter of being gentle and sweeping the floor. Cheng Jinzhou felt his hairs stand on end.Just when he didn't know what to do, the star warlock whispered in the student's ear: "This is the newly promoted two-star warlock, Your Excellency Cheng Jinzhou."

The star warlocks that the imperial court can command are basically concentrated under the name of royal star warlocks.Naturally, this second-level star warlock who was seconded also knew Cheng Jinzhou.However, he only has the title of one-star warlock. When discussing mathematics and science, he can hardly say anything and will not be remembered by Cheng Jinzhou.

Hearing his introduction, the academic officer was stunned for a moment, but did not immediately order to stop.

The astromancer smiled at Cheng Jinzhou again, waved his hand and said, "I've checked it, let's go in, don't bother the two sergeants."

This is his own guarantee.

The two soldiers turned their heads to look at the school officer. Although the latter was a nerd, he was not stupid, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to see it.He also knew in his heart that if the astromancer guarding the inspection wanted to cheat, he would be in vain seeking death.If you want to check with other star warlocks, not to mention whether they can be used, but if you can, most of them have a normal attitude towards this two-star warlock.

Thinking of this, the school officials couldn't help but feel a little jealous. As a human being, he had to study hard for more than ten years, and these astrologers were not only supported by the country and the Astrologers Association, but they even came to compete with poor students for the imperial examination places. Really hateful.

Cheng Jinzhou also came to his senses and walked in with some luck.I have no sense of my own privileges.Even in the 21st century, he is still a special group of people. Other students work hard to go to college, work hard to go to graduate school, and work hard to go to PhD. But he plays World of Warcraft, singing and laughing all the way.It is natural to say that graduate students are tutors who recruit students, and parents want to teach their sons. Who can do their best to stop it?

"Prepare to close the gate, everyone returns to their positions..." the deputy examiner roared at the top of his voice, this may be the loudest time he has spoken in a year.

Cheng Jinzhou breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back slightly, looked at the hut that could only accommodate him, and then rubbed off his ring. He only hoped that this year's provincial examination would not be too outrageous.

……

Other than the word count: Sorry, I just finished this chapter, and the concept of time after the holiday is too weak.
