The best girl traveled through time and took the system to escape.

On the afternoon of August [-], Song Nan followed Fang Peilan and his wife to the gate of Gongyuan to wait. Like them, there were many family members of scholars who were taking exams inside.

Many carriages parked behind people, just waiting for the gate of Gongyuan to open to take their masters and young masters back to their residences to rest.

I don't know how long I waited, but I finally heard the sound of gongs coming from inside.

The gate of Gongyuan also slowly opened.

Song Nan stood on tiptoe and looked inside.

Seeing that Song Huai was not as depressed as other scholars, only his clothes and hair were messed up by the people around him, the tight string in Song Nan's heart relaxed a little.

"Do you remember everything you told me yesterday?"

Fang Peilan tugged on Song Nan's sleeve and was about to run over to pick up Song Huai, and emphasized again: "Don't mention your elder brother and second sister's affairs in front of Xiao Huai."

"Mom, I remember it."

Song Nan waved at Song Huai: "Fourth brother! Here, here!"

Song Youcai relied on his height and strength to squeeze through the crowd and bring Song Huai out.

Fang Peilan took the wooden box he was dragging and said with soft eyes: "The bath water has been prepared at home. The two of them are stewing soup to replenish the body. Don't be too hot when you go back."

"How can it be too hot? I want to drink it now."

Song Huai looked at his parents and little sister with smiles in his eyes.

After getting on the carriage, Song Nan and the others didn't ask Song Huai how he did in the exam. Instead, they mentioned the interesting things around him in the past three days to relieve his boredom.

Before Song Huai got sleepy, he finally returned to the yard over the shop.

Song Huai entered a house empty-handed. The water for bathing in the house was already prepared, and there was a set of his clothes beside it.

After immersing himself in the water, Song Huai let out a long sigh of relief.

I was still comfortable at home, but in that small examination room, I couldn't even stretch my hands and feet.

outside the house.

Song Nan and Liu Qiaoer took out the warm dishes from the kitchen one by one and placed them on the table in the middle of the yard.

Song Youcai opened Song Huai's test box and took out his three days' change of clothes to soak. Fang Peilan emptied the test box and prepared another one for Song Huai based on the items from three days ago.

After Song Huai wiped his hair half dry, Song Nan pointed to a location:

"Fourth brother, sit here. These dishes are lighter."

It's time for the exam, so I don't dare to feed him anything spicy.

The slightly spicy hot pot ingredients brought to Gongyuan are also slightly spicy specially made by Song Nan, and they really only have a little spiciness.

During the meal, Fang Peilan asked Song Huai: "I saw there are still two pieces of noodles and pancakes I brought, but I don't have time to eat them?"

"No." Song Huai smiled sheepishly, "When the hot water was given twice, I was so absorbed in writing policy papers that I forgot to fetch the hot water."

The first session in Qiu Wei was about policy theory.

Policy theory cannot be discontinued once it is written. If it is discontinued, the feeling may no longer exist.

Fang Peilan nodded, and then asked: "I packed your test box just now and prepared one for you just like the one I had three days ago. Do you think I need to buy anything else?"

……

After eating, Song Nan and others rushed Song Huai to rest.

Tomorrow, I have to go to Gongyuan to stay for three days.

On the second day, Song Nan and the others sent Song Huai to Gongyuan. There were fewer people coming today than the previous day.

After Fang Peilan inquired, she found out that some people in the Gongyuan were carried out after some candidates left yesterday.

"Most of those who were carried out were close to the huts. As you know, on this hot day..."

"I guess they also knew they didn't perform well, so they simply didn't come to the second game. Some people couldn't hold on. I saw an old man whose beard was gray, and he still came to take the exam!"

Fang Peilan: "After three games, aren't there a few people left?"

The man nodded and said: "You also need to be in good health to take the imperial examination. If you can't survive these few days, what will you do in the winter and spring?"

An old man who came to watch the excitement outside the Gongyuan also came over and said: "In previous years, half of the people would come out of the first show, all because of the hot weather. This year, if boss Xiao Song hadn't been so kind, he would have donated money." Give the ice cubes to Gongyuan, I don’t know how many scholars will be fainted by the sun!"

"My family goes to the ice room to buy ice cubes every day. When they found out that the ice room didn't sell ice cubes these days, they even cursed. After knowing this, they slapped themselves several times!"

"We in Qingzhou showed our faces in front of the official in the capital this time! I wonder if anyone in Yuzhou will donate ice cubes to the candidates to cool off the heat next time? Hahahahahaha!!"

Song Nan, who was hiding behind Fang Peilan and listening to the excitement, chuckled.

It is impossible to ask people from other places to donate ice cubes, unless someone from those aristocratic families takes the exam.

Didn't you see that before your own ice room opened, there was no ice at all in other shops in Fucheng?

She also specifically inquired that even in Yunkexuan, only a few guests could use ice in summer. The price of a small bowl of ice was more expensive than her own shampoo!

How long does a bowl of ice last?

It melted in less than two quarters of an hour, and it was so expensive.

Shopkeepers who have little money in winter are only willing to use it for their own families and are not willing to put it in their shops at all.

And those wealthy families are even more reluctant to let others use them.

That's why her ice room business is so booming.

In the Gongyuan.

Song Huai was assigned to a good position again, with two basins of ice facing him.

Zhou Yamen sat sideways, his eyes unconsciously looking at the noodle soup in Song Huai's bowl.

They had heard about this fragrant noodle soup two days ago, and almost all the government officials did not want to be assigned to this person.

But who is lucky enough to draw it?

Originally, there was a government servant accompanying him, but now it was noon, and the guy went to have lunch, and she had to wait for him to come back to change shifts before she could leave this place.

Watching the government servant in front of him swallow his saliva, Song Huai silently speeded up his eating of noodles.

While clearing the dishes, I "accidentally" kicked out a bamboo tube containing a piece of mildly spicy hot pot ingredients. By chance, the bamboo tube rolled to the feet of the yamen servant.

Song Huai looked at the yamen servant with soft eyes and nodded, then he cupped his hands with an embarrassed look on his face.

Zhou Yamen's eyes flashed and he said very wisely:

"In the Gongyuan..."

After some warning words, he picked up the bamboo tube and said righteously: "I will confiscate your bamboo tube!"

The candidates watching this scene said:...

What to confiscate?

Do you think we don't know what you are thinking? !

As an official, you can share some of your hot pot ingredients with us!

After Zhou Yamen's shift changed, he took the hot pot ingredients and went to the place where the Yamen officers ate.

He took out the hot pot ingredients in the bamboo tube and soaked them in hot water, then made a bowl of cold noodles and poured them on. He just felt that his life was complete!

"What is it? Give me a bite!"

"I'll just pick up some chopsticks!"

"Brother, where did you get it?!"

……

After the government servants around him dispersed with their chopsticks, there were only the last two bites left in his bowl!

Zhou Yamen looked at the people around him with tears in his eyes, "What are you eating?" ! This is what Song Xiucai rewarded me with!

mine! !

"What do you eat?"

Zhou Yamen immediately turned his head, picked up the chopsticks and took a big mouthful into his mouth, staring at the place where the sound came from.

No one can steal it!

"Big, my lord..."
