On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Chen Yunyou took his paper and walked to his examination room according to the number plate assigned to him during the exam.

The examination rooms here are simple board rooms built with wooden boards, with each person having one room, completely eliminating the sight of anyone who wants to plagiarize.

Chen Yunyou was lucky enough, as the desk and chairs in his examination room were pretty good.

Generally, the tables and chairs in the examination room are provided by the ritual room. In some years, if there are many students applying for the exam and the county government does not have enough tables and chairs, some tables and chairs of questionable quality will appear in the examination room.

He walked to the table and sat down, then took out writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone from the examination basket.

After putting the utensils in place, he did not rush to answer the questions. Instead, he poured some water into the inkstone first, and then ground the ink while carefully reading the test questions!

The first session of the county examination is the main session and also the most important one.

Generally, students are required to choose a chapter or a paragraph from the Four Books and Five Classics and write it down from memory, followed by an in-depth analysis or discussion of their viewpoints, and finally write a regulated verse of five words and six rhymes.

By the time the ink was ground, Chen Yunyou had already read through the question.

He had already mastered simple dictation by heart, and his writing was smooth. Even when he was analyzing and explaining his ideas, there was no sense of stagnation, which showed that he had already mastered the knowledge.

After Chen Yunyou finished reciting the test questions, he explained the source and meaning of the questions.

The next step is to analyze the test questions from various levels, then explain your own views, and finally quote classics and combine allusions as a summary.

The entire article, which is over a thousand words long, always maintains clear views, sufficient arguments and rigorous logic.

When he finished writing the draft, there was not a single correction, so it could be said that he had completed it in one go.

Seeing that it was still early and he was not very hungry, he copied all the answers from the draft onto the test paper.

By the time I finished answering the questions, the whole morning had passed.

Feeling hungry, he started to eat lunch.

Chen Yunyou finished his food in a hurry and continued answering questions.

Finally, there is a five-character, six-rhythm poem with the title "Spring".

When he saw this title, Chen Yunyou obviously hesitated.

In fact, he had already written a regulated verse on the theme of "Spring" before the exam.

I even made three of them!

When he raised his pen to write, he paused, pondered for a moment, and then picked out a standard regulated verse from the three and wrote it down.

He didn't want to bring disaster to Xile because of himself. Before he had enough chips, he had to learn to conceal his edge!

When he finished answering the questions, the entire examination room was still quiet. It was obvious that no one had handed in their paper yet.

Chen Yunyou waited patiently, and when half of the people stood up to hand in their papers, he also handed in his paper.

These students who have handed in their papers cannot leave at this time. They have to wait until 45 people have handed in their papers before the county magistrate can let them go!

Chen Yun took a look at the clepsydra in the lobby and sighed slightly. Judging from the situation, he might have to wait a little longer!

I wonder what Xile is doing right now?

Song Xile, who had sneezed, was now leisurely drinking tea and chatting with the county magistrate's wife.

Originally, after Chen Yunyou entered the examination room, the two Chen brothers were going to take Song Xile back.

Song Xile naturally refused to go back. She came to the county town with Yun You today, not only to send him to take the county exam, but also for another important purpose, which was to find an excuse for her to smoothly take out the pumpkin seeds!

Bean seeds are common, and she can find a reason to trick her parents into giving them to her, but where can she get these seeds that have never appeared in Nanyun County?

This was not something she could get away with by just making up a few lies.

Even if she could coax her parents, when the pumpkins and yams grow up, who knows, some important people might come to visit.

The seeds that appeared out of nowhere were of unknown origin and could not be verified. It was definitely not a good thing for her!

So she turned her attention to the county town. Yun You was taking part in the county examination at that time. She wanted to go to the grocery stores and large grain stores in the city to see if there were any rare seeds sent from other places!

It would be best if the shopkeeper had never seen it before, so that she could replace the original with a fake one, and the origin of the seeds would have a reasonable explanation.

So the two Chen brothers offered to send Song Xile back.

However, Song Xile said that he had something else to do and asked the two to go back first.

The two men had promised Chen Yunyou that they would bring the person back. Now that the person was unwilling to go back, they had no choice but to follow!

However, since they were outsiders, it was not convenient for them to follow her directly, so they suggested that Song Xile call Chen Yunye as well.

Song Xile thought that it would be best if more people could witness her buying the seeds. She thought about it for a moment and nodded, agreeing!

When the three of them arrived at the teahouse, the sky was already turning white.

At this time, street vendors who are struggling to make a living have already started walking around the streets selling snacks on their shoulders.

Snack stalls have been set up on both sides of the street, and the stall owners’ calls to attract customers are endless!

Maybe it’s because today is the day of the county examination, there are many more pedestrians on the streets than usual!

There are quite a lot of people buying food at the snack stalls.

When Chen Yunye saw several people coming, he stood up and said, "Are you going back? I'll go get the donkey cart now!"

"Brother, I want to go to the grocery store and grain store in the county town and not go back for the time being. Do you want to go with us?"

Chen Yunye glanced at the two people following his brother and sister-in-law, sighed in his heart, and finally did not refuse!

The three of them walked along the way, and from time to time they smelled the tempting aroma emanating from the street.

Song Xile suddenly paused, turned around and looked at the three people, "Second brother, Brother Yunshan, you haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat first!"

Chen Yunshan waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, we brothers have all eaten it before."

The price of rice and flour outside is rising wildly now, and the price of food has also increased. They can just go home and eat later, so they are not willing to spend this money in vain!

In their opinion, eating out is a waste of money and that is absolutely not allowed!

It doesn’t matter if they go hungry!

What made him embarrassed was that as soon as Chen Yunshan finished saying this, his stomach started to growl.

Song Xile, who was standing opposite him, naturally heard it!

Chen Yunshan's face turned red all the way to his ears. This was too embarrassing!

At this time, the stall owner saw the four people who stopped and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Wontons, wontons, wontons cooked in fresh bone soup, would you like to try them?"

Song Xile walked towards the stall owner with a smile, "Stall owner, give me four bowls of fresh meat wontons!" He pointed at the sesame cakes in the oven and said, "Give me three more sesame cakes!"

She had eaten breakfast in the morning and was not hungry.

But she knew that if she didn't eat it, they would definitely not eat it, so she ordered a bowl for herself.

"how much is the total?"

"A bowl of wontons is twelve cents, and a sesame seed bun is two cents!" The stall owner picked up his fingers, then said with a smile: "Young lady, the total is fifty-four cents!"

Song Xile paid the copper coins immediately.

The stall owner happily took the copper coins and immediately greeted the guests, "Dear guests, please take a seat first. The wontons will be ready soon!"
