Chapter 133 Old Friend
After celebrating his birthday, it was the eighth day of February in a blink of an eye. Zhou Ran prepared the examination basket and thick clothes for Ye Ximing just like he did during the provincial examination.

On the ninth day of the second lunar month, on the fifth watch day, the sound of cannons rang out, and nobles from all over the country lined up to enter.

When the queue reached Ye Ximing, Ye Ximing turned around and waved to Zhou Ran, then followed the soldiers to undergo inspection.

The search was very strict, but Ye Ximing did not feel guilty and cooperated very well in taking off his clothes and boots. After the search, he entered the examination room smoothly.

Zhou Ran saw Ye Ximing entering the venue. He was preparing to leave with Zhao Wu, but there was a commotion in front of him. Zhou Ran was curious and inquired about it. It turned out that someone had been involved and was discovered, and he was immediately disqualified from entering the examination room. .

The man refused to give up and wanted to cry and beg, but was thrown out by the soldiers.

Zhou Ran looked at it for a while and found no one cheating except that person.

It was almost midnight when Zhou Ran and Zhao Wu returned to the yard. She was originally going to take a nap, but she didn't feel sleepy while lying on the bed. She lay down for a while and simply got up again.

When Da Niu and the others saw Zhou Ran coming out, they were surprised and said, "Master, don't you want to catch up on your sleep? Why are you coming out again?"

Zhou Ran said: "Some can't sleep."

"Master, are you worried about Master?" Da Niu said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, Master is so serious in his studies, he will definitely pass the Jinshi examination this time, and then Master, you will be the wife of Jinshi."

Zhou Ran shook his head. She was not worried about Ye Ximing. He believed that Ye Ximing would definitely succeed.

But... maybe she was still a little worried about something unexpected happening.

The general examination is the same as the provincial examination. There are also three exams, each lasting three days.

The first test was on the Four Books and Classical Meanings, and Ye Ximing answered the questions smoothly.

After the exam was over, Ye Ximing handed in the papers in a hurry and walked out of Gongyuan. He stood at the door of Gongyuan and looked around for a while. Ye Ximing found Zhou Ran and walked over.

When Zhou Ran saw Ye Ximing, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, "We're out, are you tired?"

Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran's smiling face, curled his lips slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm not tired."

The two of them talked and waited outside for a while before Cao Bingwen and Wei Yan came out of the examination room.

Cao Bingwen's face looked okay, but he was a little tired, and his answer should be okay. However, Wei Yan looked like he was mourning for his heir, with a depressed look on his face. One look at it and he knew that his answer was not very good.

When Ye Ximing saw this, he just patted him on the shoulder. It was useless to say anything at this time.

A few people went back to rest for a night, and then entered the venue again on February 12th. Wei Yan still looked a little depressed.

Ye Ximing could only advise: "Wei Yan, cheer up, there are still two games left. Even if you don't answer well in the first game, if you answer well in these two games, you still have a chance."

When Wei Yan heard this, he steeled himself and smiled at Ye Ximing, "I understand, third brother."

Cao Bingwen also comforted Wei Yan with a few words.

In the second game, Wei Yan may have done well in the exam and felt better after coming out.

Next is the third game.

On February 17th, after three exams, Wei Yan became the one who wanted to take the test the most among the three. Anyway, he had tried his best, and the final result depended on fate.

So, Wei Yan began to go out every day to visit various places in the capital. Because they didn't go out much before the examination, they didn't know a lot of news. Wei Yan only heard a lot of things when he went out in the past few days.

On this day, Wei Yan came back from outside and said to Ye Ximing with a mysterious look on his face: "Third brother, do you know who the Jie Yuan is for the provincial examination in the capital?" Wei Yan said this, which meant that he should know the person, and he might have participated in the rural examination in the capital. , that means he is from the capital. He has never been to the capital before, so he probably doesn’t know any scholars in the capital.

Ye Ximing was curious: "Who is it?"

"Fei Nanxing." Wei Yan gave the answer.

Although Mr. Zou did not accept him as a student, because of the relationship between Dean Meng and Mr. Zou, Wei Yan often went to Mr. Zou to take classes, and Fei Nanxing, who had been taking classes with Mr. Zou for one year, I know it naturally.

This name was indeed somewhat beyond Ye Ximing's expectation.

"So he has come to the capital, will Mr. Fei and Chuan Bai also be in the capital?" Zhou Ran said happily after hearing this from Ye Ximing.

Ye Ximing said: "I'll look for an opportunity to meet Fei Nanxing later and ask her."

"it is good."

As Fei Nanxing's Jieyuan in the capital, it was not difficult to get information about him. Ye Ximing went out to attend two banquets held by the princes, and soon found out where Fei Nanxing lived.

Ye Ximing took his things and went to Surabaya Street and knocked on the door of Fei Nanxing's hospital.

The door of the courtyard was opened by a young man. After seeing Ye Ximing, the young man said: "Master, please come back. Our Master has not seen guests recently."

Recently, a lot of people have been visiting or inviting Fei Nanxing to participate in poetry gatherings. Fei Nanxing was so annoyed by the disturbance that he simply closed the door and turned away guests.

In fact, Ye Ximing's reputation had spread since the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there were many invitations to visit him or invite him. However, like Fei Nanxing, he refused on the grounds that he had to study hard behind closed doors.

Ye Ximing smiled at the boy and said politely: "Brother, please inform me that an old friend from Nanxing County is visiting. Let's see if Mr. Fei is willing to meet him."

The boy was a little suspicious, but looking at Ye Ximing's attitude, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Then wait a moment, I will go in and report it to you."

"Excuse me, brother."

The courtyard where Fei Nanxing lived was not that big. The boy came out shortly after entering. Fei Nanxing and Chuan Bai came out with him.

When Ye Ximing saw Fei Nanxing, he cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Brother Fei, long time no see."

"Long time no see." After Fei Nanxing returned the greeting, he smiled and said to Ye Ximing: "Brother Ye, come in quickly. Master was talking about you a few days ago."

Ye Ximing said: "I just heard that Brother Fei is the Jieyuan of the capital two days ago. Only then did I know that Brother Fei and you have come to the capital. Where is Mr. Fei? Isn't he at home?"

Fei Nanxing shook his head, "Master is on duty today."

"Has Mr. Fei returned to Tai Hospital?" Ye Ximing asked.

"Yeah." Fei Nanxing nodded and said nothing more.

Ye Ximing didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that the two of them had finally finished speaking, Chuan Bai on the side quickly asked: "Master Ye, are Sister Aran and the others okay?"

If it weren't for Zhou Ran, he would still be a little beggar looked down upon by others. How could he be where he is now? Chuan Bai always remembered Zhou Ran's kindness in his heart. Now that he met Ye Ximing, he had to ask Zhou Ran.

Ye Ximing looked at Chuan Bai, who had grown into a young man and lost his original restrained appearance. He smiled and nodded, "Sister Aran and the others are very good, and they are also in the capital now."
