After dressing as a widow

For two whole hours, standing on the ground made it impossible to stand still. Lin Zhen, Wang Qin, and the servants he brought along and Huang Yuwen's servants squeezed together to the back of the crowd, finally squeezed out, and went to the nearby teahouse Sitting here waiting for the three of them.

It's just that I didn't expect that there were so many people who thought like them. The teahouses and restaurants around the Fuya were all overcrowded, and there were even clever shopkeepers who moved out tables and chairs and placed them in front of the shop, and they were also full.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, I didn't see any one with a seat. Lin Zhen said, "Let's go to the restaurant. There shouldn't be so many people there."

The Wang family was not short of money, so Wang Qin naturally had no problem, and said, "I'll treat Uncle Lin to dinner and tea."

Lin Zhen stopped him: "I know you have a big pocket, but I'm sorry to ask you to invite me. You bring things every day, and my house is almost full."

"That's a gift for you and Gu Lin." A few days ago, Wang Qin had personally written a letter, telling his parents and older brothers and sisters that he had been admitted as a scholar. Calculating the time, the letter should have been delivered to Ann. far town.

Thinking of how happy his parents, brothers and sisters would be, Wang Qin also felt that the gifts he gave Lin Zhen and Gu Lin were too small, and he wished he could give all the money he had.

A few people came to a restaurant closest to the government office, and before they stepped in, the waiter with a clean white handkerchief greeted him: "What do you two guests want to eat, the chef's craftsmanship in our restaurant Notoriously good, the two guest officials came once and would like to come a second time.”

Xiao Er's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw each other, he could tell that Wang Qin and the two following Lin Zhen were servants, so he skipped them and greeted them.

And he was speaking to Wang Qin, Wang Qin looked like a young man whose family had no shortage of money.

Wang Qin turned around and asked Lin Zhen, "Uncle Lin, should we sit in the separate room above or in the lobby."

"Let's go to the lobby, serve three or four dishes, and a pot of tea." Lin Zhen said.

Wang Qin said to Xiaoer: "Have you heard, four of your restaurant's signature dishes, and a pot of tea."

"Yes, guest officer, please wait for a moment, the dishes will be here soon." Xiaoer didn't expect that Lin Zhen, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was the one who made up his mind, and secretly scolded himself for being blind.

And Lin Zhen said to the servant who followed: "You two sit down too, it's uncomfortable to stand for such a long time."

The two servants hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, the little ones can just stand and serve you."

Wang Qin asked them to sit down: "Uncle Lin told you to sit down and sit down. You can do things when you are full."

Wang Qin was originally accompanied by Wang Youcai. After returning to Anyuan Town from Fucheng, he told his parents that he promised Wang Youcai, and asked him to take the contract of sale of his family and give them freedom.

This matter has been circulated in Wang's courtyard for a long time, everyone said that Wang Qin is a very good master, and they rushed to serve Wang Qin.

Looking at it now, isn't it a good master, which master will let the servants serve the table when eating.

That's good for Mr. Lin, if he is a good person, he is surrounded by good people.

The restaurant was almost full of family members of the students. Lin Zhen and Wang Qin were eating vegetables and drinking tea, and they could hear the voices of these guests talking about the provincial examination and worrying about their own family members.

In the examination room, after the question papers were sent out, Gu Lin browsed through them first, and found that one or two random questions were a bit biased, and he had some doubts, but generally there was no problem.

Gu Lin added some water to the inkstone, and slowly rubbed the ink away. When the ink was almost ready, he wrote down the answers one by one on another white paper for answering the questions.

Lin Zhen has been obsessed with Gu Lin's writing posture since he was a child. His back is straight, and there is a suitable distance between his head and the table, which is very pleasing to the eye.

And he looks good, naturally more eye-catching.

Li Quan, Minister of Rites who originally sat on the top and didn't have to come down to walk around, got off his seat with a heartbeat. When he moved, the governor of Fucheng also stood up with a smile on his face, "My lord, what are your orders?"

The previous prefect was taken to Kyoto for questioning because of the drought and the refugee army destroyed the prefectural city. The new prefect knew that he came from a poor family, and he had neither a powerful family nor a capable relative behind him. Give yourself a backer.

The governor who came to inspect and patrol, Li Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the one he really wants to climb up to. The Li family is a veteran gentry family, and there are quite a few officials in the court alone.

Li Quan put his hands behind his back: "It's nothing, I just looked at the green appearance of these students, and remembered how I was waiting for the end of the scientific examination."

"You don't have to follow, I'll just take a look."

As he spoke, Li Quan paced down and stood beside a student who was answering the question paper.

As soon as the dark crimson official uniform came into view, the student Li Quan was looking at trembled with his pen, and the ink on the pen tip almost dripped onto the white paper for answering the question, which made the student's face turn pale with fright up.

If the test paper is dirty, things will be fatal to the examiner. It is very likely that the examiner will not even read the content of the test paper, and directly classify the test paper as inferior.

Seeing his embarrassment, Li Quan walked away, his mentality is really weak and needs to be exercised.

Li Quan continued to walk forward, stopping from time to time to see how the students were answering the questions, the expression on his face could not tell whether it was good or not.

Soon, Li Quan stood beside Gu Lin. Li Quan noticed this student from the very beginning. After all, there are not many people with good looks and good temperament in the crowd, so they are very conspicuous.

Even when he came down this trip, he only thought of Gu Lin when he saw Gu Lin.

Li Quan's eyes first fell on the question paper in front of Gu Lin, and saw that the handwriting on it was not as demure as he thought, just like the student's demure appearance. The air is coming.

It really doesn't look like it was written by a teenage scholar.

But Li Quan's attention was quickly attracted by the content of the test paper. As the proctor who knew the questions of the rural examination in advance, he naturally knew the correct answer, but the correct answer of the student in front of him reached 100%. It really makes people have to look sideways.

Li Quan couldn't help looking at the place where the name was written.

Gu Lin.

He memorized it.

The two-hour test time may sound like a long time, but for most students, this time is just enough to answer all the questions.

Following the three bells and reminders, students who had finished answering the questions and could not answer came out of the examination room one after another, either extremely excited, with red faces, or extremely dejected.

Huang Yuwen, Chen Xing, and Gu Lin were both in the same examination room. When they came out, they grabbed Gu Lin: "How did you answer the fourth question? I can't be sure. I'm so worried."

Gu Lin told them his answer, and both of them were overjoyed: "It's really in this direction!"

Now I have a bottom line in my heart.
