Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 488: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 38
Yu Yao didn't want to meet Chen Xiutian, so she quietly went in another direction.

She found a secluded corner and stood still, her eyes fixed on the direction of the examination room, thinking about the autumn imperial examination in her mind.

Each examination usually lasts three days, not consecutively, with a two-day break. It is held in autumn, so it is called "Autumn Examination".

Each session lasts three days and two nights, for a total of nine days and seven nights.

The first test was eight-legged essay, which was based on the Four Books and Five Classics.

The second section is official documents, which are divided into official documents and judicial judgments.

The third round of questions asked participants to propose countermeasures to issues concerning national economy and people's livelihood.

Although Yu Yao had never participated in the imperial examination, with the accumulation of knowledge from so many dimensions, she was well aware of these situations.

She didn't know which exam session it was, or when Chen Mufeng would come out of the exam room.

She avoided Chen Xiutian's sight and secretly asked someone about the current situation.

After some inquiries, I found out that it was the second day of the first game.

In other words, Chen Mufeng will not come out of the examination room until tomorrow afternoon.

Thinking of this, I decided not to wait here and turned back, thinking of coming back tomorrow afternoon.

When she arrived at the courtyard, she found a man waiting at the door. He was dressed in shorts and had a simple and honest face.

The ground at his feet was filled with rice, flour, grain, oil, brooms, basins, bowls, plates and other miscellaneous items.

Yu Yao then suddenly remembered the things she had bought at the grocery store.

It was obvious that something was being delivered, and seeing that the gate was closed and no one was there, he waited here.

The man saw her from a distance and hurried over to her, "Hey, girl, you're finally back. I've sent your things. They're all here."

Yu Yao hurried forward and said, "Thank you for troubling me and keeping me waiting for so long."

The man smiled naively: "Girl, it's okay, I'm just afraid that the things will be lost."

After saying that, the person left.

She opened the gate, moved the things on the ground in one by one, and began to organize them, putting them where they should be put.

After all the tidying up, she was sweating profusely, and the originally deserted yard had a more homely feel.

After sorting out everything, he sat under the osmanthus tree in the yard to rest for a while.

The breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of flowers, which relieved some of my fatigue.

She looked up at the sky, silently thinking about how to avoid Chen Xiutian tomorrow.

To be honest, Chen Xiutian is really a nuisance here. We have to find a way to keep him away.

The next afternoon, she dressed up carefully and wore a hat that covered most of her face, leaving only her eyes as bright as stars.

He dressed like this because he didn't want Chen Xiutian to recognize him.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, made sure there was nothing wrong, and went out to the examination room.

This time she did not wait at the entrance of the examination room, but went to a teahouse near the examination room and sat down at a window seat.

You can observe the movements outside the examination room while hiding your own body.

The teahouse was bustling with people, some talking and laughing loudly, some whispering to each other, making it very lively.

Yu Yao had no intention of sipping tea. She just looked out the window from time to time, staring at the gate of the examination room opposite.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the examination room remained quiet. Only the occasional cough or the sound of the test paper shaking broke the dull silence.

At 3 p.m., the sound of gongs rang out, "Dong...Dong..."

The examiner's voice rang out in the examination room, "Time is up, hand in your paper, hand in your paper."

There was a sudden movement in the examination room.

Some candidates heaved a sigh of relief, quickly put their test papers in order, and respectfully handed them to the officers and soldiers who came to collect them, their eyes full of confidence.

He seemed to be confident about his answer.

The examinee in the opposite room cast an envious look at him: "Brother, you are so calm and composed, I'm sure you will be admitted this time."

The candidate just smiled and didn't say much.

Some candidates were in a panic and looked anxious.

They either had some questions not yet finished, or suddenly found that they had new ideas for their answers but it was too late to revise them, and they were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.

Some candidates were not in good physical condition and stayed in a small dormitory for three days and two nights. They caught a cold at night and fainted.

Then, soldiers quickly carried him out on a stretcher.

It seemed like he was used to this scene.

Although Chen Mufeng was crying, he looked tired after a few days, and dark circles appeared under his eyes.

He stood up with difficulty, feeling dizzy, his arms were numb, and his legs were numb from sitting for a long time. It took him a long time to recover. He sorted out the answer sheet, handed it to the officer who collected the papers, packed his bag and left the examination room.

After handing in his paper, Zhang Shuhan stood up, packed up his things and left the examination room.

He looked pale and tired, and obviously not well.

When Li Mingxuan came out of the stinking horn, the stench followed him like a shadow, and he felt like he had been marinated.

He secretly thanked his good physical condition that he did not faint in the stinky hall and finished answering all the questions.

He walked out, holding onto the wall, his steps unsteady, his face pale, his eyes bloodshot, spitting and cursing as he walked: "This shabby place is killing me. I'm afraid the stench from this body won't go away for days."

The candidates around avoided it, fearing that they would be contaminated by the stench.

Seeing how miserable Li Mingxuan looked, Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan didn't mind his stench and hurried over to support him.

"Brother Li, are you okay?"

Chen Mufeng supported one of his arms and said with concern.

Although he was also very tired, his situation was much better than Li Mingxuan's.

Zhang Shuhan was supporting Li Mingxuan on the other side. Seeing him like this, a bit of sympathy appeared in his eyes.

Li Mingxuan was supported by two people and walked out of the examination room. He complained as he walked: "You don't know, that smelly room is not a place for people to stay. Not to mention the smell, there was even a rat, so big, and not afraid of people. It even climbed onto my desk and knocked over the oil lamp, almost burning my paper. Fortunately, I was fast enough and took the paper away in advance."

Chen Mufeng smiled unkindly when he heard this, and tried to hold back his laughter to comfort him: "Brother Li, you have suffered a lot. It has been really hard for you these past few days."

In this imperial examination, besides writing well, luck is also very important.

Zhang Shuhan also suppressed his laughter and nodded, "Yes, Brother Li, you can hold on, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Let's go back first, wash up and rest, and then find a doctor to come and take a look. There are still two more games to go."

When Li Mingxuan heard that there were two more games to come, he suddenly felt sick. He looked as if he had lost all hope in life, like an eggplant hit by frost, completely useless.

As the door to the examination room slowly opened, candidates walked out one after another, with pale faces, dark circles under their eyes, unsteady steps, and looking tired and weak.

Some candidates were even carried out on stretchers by soldiers.

The group of people who were originally waiting swarmed over in an instant.

Chen Xiutian stretched his head and looked forward with an anxious look. He pushed the person in front of him to move forward, then stood on tiptoe and looked for a while, repeating the process.

I was just hoping that my sixth brother could come out of there soon.

It has been very cold at night in Fengqi City these past two days, and Chen Xiutian is very worried.

Seeing some candidates being carried out on stretchers by soldiers, I became more worried.

I secretly prayed that it wouldn't be my sixth brother.

If you get sick, not only will it affect your exams, but you will also have to spend money on medical treatment.

Not long after, Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan helped Li Mingxuan out.

Chen Xiutian saw his sixth brother and tried to squeeze forward, shouting, "Sixth brother, sixth brother..."

Chen Mufeng heard someone calling him, and he looked over to see who was his elder brother. He quickly replied, "Brother, don't worry, wait for me to get out first."

Li Lei, Li Mingxuan's servant, was frightened when he saw his son being supported out by someone and looking frighteningly pale.

He struggled to push through the crowd and rushed over, anxiously asking, "Sir, sir, how are you?"

As he spoke, he took Chen Mufeng's hand and stepped forward to support him.

The stench coming from the young master almost made him sick.

He wanted to ask the young master why he smelled so bad, but he felt that his focus was wrong and he should call a doctor immediately.

The young master's condition doesn't look very good.

"I'm fine. I'll just go back and take a shower and rest."

Li Mingxuan waved his hand and let several people help him get into the carriage.

At this time, Yu Yao had already left the teahouse and hid in a corner near the examination room, covering her face with a bamboo hat and black veil.

She thought that since Chen Xiutian was here, it would not be convenient for her to show up.

It would be better to let Chen Mufeng know that I have come to Fengqi County and come to find me on my own initiative.

Thinking of this, he flashed into the space, wrote a note with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, rolled it up and put it in his palm before going out.

She looked around, trying to find a clever child to help her deliver the note to Chen Mufeng.

With a glance, I saw a chubby little boy looking around curiously at the edge of the crowd.

Yu Yao walked over, squatted down and whispered to the little boy: "Little brother, sister has a fun game, do you want to play?"

The little boy's eyes lit up: "What game?"

She took out the note and said, "Have you seen the brother in blue? Put this note quietly into his hand, then come back to me and I will give you candy."

The little boy nodded excitedly, took the note, and ran towards Chen Mufeng.
