I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Ji Zihe was woken up. When he opened his eyes, the sky outside the house was just getting bright, but inside the house with the doors and windows closed, it was pitch black.

"You're awake." A voice suddenly sounded, startling Ji Zihe.

He looked intently, only to see the outline of the person sitting beside the bed, "It's a bone, can you light the lamp?"

As soon as Ji Zihe finished speaking, the oil lamp on the table in the room lit up, and he saw Meng Zhang's figure clearly.

Meng Zhang flipped his hand, and a cup of warm water appeared in his palm, and then he handed the water to Ji Zihe.

"Thank you, I'm just feeling thirsty." Ji Zihe sat up, took the water and drank it down, and couldn't help being moved by Meng Zhang's thoughtful behavior.

"How do you feel now?" Meng Zhang took the empty cup and put it aside.

"I feel good. I feel refreshed. I must have had enough rest." Ji Zihe laughed.

Meng Zhang nodded, "You did rest for a long time, you slept for two days and two nights."

"Has it been that long?" Ji Zihe had no memory at all.

"You fell ill as soon as you left the examination room, and your body temperature just dropped."

Ji Zihe touched his forehead, it wasn't hot at all, and exhaled, "I was ill during the children's examination before, and missed the hospital examination. But it took a long time to recover after being ill that time. Healed so quickly?"

"Maybe it's because you're getting older." Meng Zhang didn't mention that he had been maintaining the anger in Ji Zihe's body. Although anger can't cure the disease, it can play a very good auxiliary role.Of course, Ji Zihe was several years older, and his body was much stronger than when he was a child, which was one of the reasons why he recovered so quickly.

"Maybe, after all, I was really young at the time. By the way, Bones, what's going on outside, why are you so noisy?"

"There's a fire in the kitchen and they're fighting it."

"Ah, why is there a fire? Is the fire too big? Should we help?"

"Don't worry, the fire is not big, they can handle it, you can rest at ease." Meng Zhang said calmly without blushing or heartbeat.

"Bah, hypocrisy!" Bone said in disgust.

The reason why the kitchen caught fire was not because Qinglong was going to make a tonic soup.As a result, the soup was not ready, but the kitchen caught fire. Before he could put out the fire, someone found signs that the kitchen was on fire.Qinglong could only destroy the body of Dabutang in a hurry, ran back in despair, and let the group of people go to fight the fire.

After Meng Zhang heard Gu's words, there was no slight fluctuation on his face.No one can think of such a bright and unstained person as the culprit who ignited the kitchen.

Ji Zihe was obedient and lay down again.Don't look at him just waking up after sleeping for so long, but as soon as he thinks that he has passed the provincial examination, his whole body is lazy, and every muscle in his body is clamoring: I don't want to get up!Bed, I love you!No one can separate me from the bed!

Is Ji Zihe such a cruel person?Of course he wasn't, so he complied with his inner request, continued to have intimate contact with the bed, and rolled the sheets.

"By the way, Xiaohezi, I have something to go out during the day, so I can't be with you for the time being." Meng Zhang said again.

"Is your master here to teach you art? I understand, I understand, you can't tell others about this, don't worry, my illness is cured, and I will take good care of myself." Ji Zihe waved his little paw.

Meng Zhang was silent and didn't refute, um... Stealing the back chef of a restaurant can be regarded as learning art.

Soon, it was the day when the list was released, but Ji Zihe and the others didn't go to see it in person. After all, there were too many people there. They crowded around, and they might not be able to find it for a long time. It's better to just wait for the result at home.Anyway, Ji Zihe was very reassured about his vixen book boy.

Not only were they waiting for the results, but the Wang family was waiting with them in the lobby except for Wang Dalang who was recovering from illness.

Huang Jiulang did not disappoint Ji Zihe's trust, and quickly ran back, leaving behind all the other servants who were watching the list together, "I got it, I got it, both young masters got it!"

Ning Caichen stood up excitedly, "Can you see clearly?"

"See clearly, see clearly, congratulations to the two young masters, Master Ning won No.2, and my master won No.5!" Huang Jiulang said.

"Hahaha, this is really a happy event, let's go down and receive the reward." Ning Caichen's uncle, Master Wang, said with a smile.

"Thank you for the reward, my lord, thank you for your reward." Huang Jiulang smiled, his eyes crooked, and he followed the housekeeper down to collect the reward.

This fox is still very pragmatic, who said that goblins don't love gold and silver, money can make ghosts turn the clock, how many chickens can a rich fox buy.The Wang family has a big business, so the reward will definitely not be small, otherwise, why would this vixen fight with a group of mortals to be the first to come back to ask for the reward.

"How can uncle spend money on this?" Ning Caichen said.

"It's rare to have a big happy event. Don't say no to the two virtuous nephews. Earlier, I saw that the two virtuous nephews are dragons and phoenixes among people. Today is really extraordinary, and both of them won the election. We will definitely have a big banquet in the evening, and have a good time." It's time to celebrate." Master Wang said with a smile.

Two nephews?me?Ji Zihe was crowned the title of good nephew with a dazed expression. When he saw this old master Wang earlier, he just regarded him as his cousin's follower, and he didn't even say a word to him.

All right, a good nephew is a good nephew, who would let me still live in someone else's house.No matter what other people's attitude was before, at least I stayed here for so many days, and they didn't say they neglected me, and Mrs. Wang and sister-in-law took good care of me, so I should also thank them.

It's no wonder that there is such a big difference between Mr. Wang's before and after. It is really a big hurdle for imperial examination candidates.Before passing the examination, he was a scholar. Although he had entered the class of scholars, to put it bluntly, a scholar was just a status and had no power.There are so many talented people in the world, but I don’t know how many poor and worthless scholars there are.

Juren is different. If you win the Juren, you not only have the qualifications to participate in the general examination, but also have one foot into the official career. Even if you fail the general examination, you are also qualified as an official and become a candidate.As long as there is a vacancy, it is possible to become an official.It is also because of this that the rural examination is particularly difficult, and it is considered good if one person in thirty can pass the entrance examination.

After a rural examination, some families are happy and some are sad. Those who fail the exam are sad, while those who succeed are happy.The restaurant is very lively these days, there are tables after tables, and prostitutes keep running around in various banquets, playing piano and singing for these talented people.

After the results of the provincial examination came out, Ning Caichen didn't bother with Ji Zihe anymore, and took him around to attend literati's poetry gatherings and banquets, met many old friends, and made many friends.

For example, Zhang Yudan, whom he met during the college entrance examination, also participated in this rural examination, but he failed the examination, and now he is planning to pack up his things and go back to his hometown, and fight again next time.

A few days later, according to the usual practice, the magistrate hosted a banquet for all the candidates of this provincial examination in Guiyuan of his home.Ji Zihe also saw the first place in the provincial examination. That Xie Yuan seemed to be at least [-] years old, with a well-rounded face and a sense of justice, which fit the aesthetics of the mainstream public today.How to say that sentence, he looks like a high-ranking official.

At first, Ji Zihe was still thinking about what the leader who overwhelmed his cousin would be like, and he felt a little unconvinced.But seeing his upright face and comparing it with his cousin, the balance immediately tilted towards the leader.No way, at first glance, he is the protagonist of justice in the story, but my cousin looks like a little boy no matter how he looks at it.If he was God, he would not want to assign the title of protagonist to his cousin.

After the banquet, Ji Zihe and the others packed up their things and prepared to pack up and go home.The Wang family politely wanted to persuade them to stay longer, but they declined, after all, they have been bothering them for so long.

In the past few days, apart from socializing, Ning Caichen and Ji Zihe ran around Yuping Street, the two big men went shopping, shopping everywhere, preparing special products and gifts for relatives and friends in their hometown.

However, before Ji Zihe and the others left, a major event happened in the Wang family.

In fact, when Mrs. Chen asked people to teach Wang Yuyi a lesson, she also made them pay attention to their sense of propriety. After all, Mrs. Chen didn't want Wang Yuyi to be a disabled person in her next life.Although the injury looked terrible, it was actually not that serious.Ordinary people need to cultivate for a hundred days if they hurt their muscles and bones, but for Wang Sheng, he can go to the ground after only half a month of cultivation.He was pressured by his wife to study honestly and honestly for a few days, and he couldn't stay at home for so many days.

No, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the bathroom, he got rid of those who were looking at him and sneaked out of the house.Hehe, Lian'er must have thought that he was overthinking after not going to the study for so many days.

Wang Yuyi was in a hurry, and was about to go to the study. When she reached the street in front of his house, she was stopped by a Taoist priest.

Yan Chixia grabbed Wang Yuyi's arm with both hands, looked at his face, and turned pale with shock: "Oh, it's terrible, it's terrible, son, you are going to be in great trouble!"

"You Taoist priest, don't talk nonsense." Wang Yuyi's face was dark at that time, anyone who was stopped on the street, pointing and yelling that disaster is imminent would not be happy.

"How can I be talking nonsense, my son, has he had good luck recently?" Yan Chixia looked enigmatic.

"No." Wang Yuyi thought of Lian'er in the study, but he just couldn't understand the Taoist priest, so he deliberately refused to admit it.

"I see that you are full of evil spirits, why do you say no?"

"If I say no, there is no. I think you are a liar, don't try to fool me." Wang Yuyi said forcefully.

Yan Chixia looked at him and shook her head, turned around and left, sighing loudly, "It's really strange, how can there be people in the world who are unwilling to wake up when they are about to die?"

Wang Yuyi was a little shaken in her heart. Could this person be some kind of expert?No, no, Lian'er is so beautiful and delicate, and so petite, how could she be a monster? This Taoist priest must be playing tricks on her.

When Wang Yuyi arrived at the study, she found that the courtyard door of the study was locked from the inside.He wanted to knock on the door, but for some reason, the Taoist priest on the street just swiped the screen in his head, and the hand that was raised to knock on the door was put down again.

He climbed in from the courtyard wall, but saw that the door of the house was also closed.He felt very strange, what kind of door was closed in broad daylight... Wait, could it be that Lian'er stole someone behind his back!

The more Wang Yuyi thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility was very high. This little hoof did not look like someone who could endure loneliness. She dared to steal someone after she hadn't looked at her for a few days. In the eyes!

As soon as Wang Yuyi's temper came up, she wanted to go directly to kick the door to catch the adulterer.But he is not a person who does not consider the consequences. On second thought, no, what if he misunderstood Lianer, it would hurt her heart so much.Thinking of Lian'er's beautiful face, Wang Yuyi was shaken, so she decided to explore the situation first.

He walked lightly to the window, licked his fingers, wet them, poked a hole in the window paper, peeped into the room...
