Chapter 258

Zhao Caifeng had had enough laughing at the moment, she only wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said solemnly: "Boss, don't get me wrong, I am really here to buy things, and my elder brother will enter the venue to take the imperial examination the day after tomorrow. Yes, the family doesn't even have all his dry food, that's why I'm in such a hurry."

The shopkeeper heard it, and immediately understood, he just shook his head and said: "So it's for this, then you have already said that, if you want to take the imperial examination next time, then you have to prepare some dry food, besides carrying dry food In this kind of weather, you have to carry Huoxiangzhengqi water, ginseng tablets, and Zhixie powder on your back. It is best to go to Baoshantang to buy a mosquito repellent sachet. Shed a layer of skin."

Zhao Caifeng listened to the shopkeeper's eloquence, and seemed to be very experienced, so she couldn't help but said, "Shopkeeper, what other precautions should you take? Tell me together, I hope I have everything prepared."

The shopkeeper only frowned and thought about it, and continued: "It is best to bring sweet-scented osmanthus cake with dry food. The weather is sunny, and it is not easy to get moldy when exposed to the sun. Nothing else is good. If it is steamed buns and steamed buns, After only two or three days, it will be as hard as a rock, and you can hardly chew on it. When you go out of the venue in nine days, remember to bring a cart, because at that time, nine out of ten people will be carried out by the guards inside Yes, those who can walk out on their own are all strange people."

Zhao Caifeng just nodded and listened intently, and asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, you are so detailed, you must have passed the exam yourself, right?"

The shopkeeper just sighed, shook his head and said: "I don't want to mention it, it happened decades ago. At that time, my brother and I went in for the exam together, but the room numbered that year caught fire, and my brother was like this. I was burnt to death inside, and it happened that I also fell to the ground that year, so my parents couldn't bear to let me continue the exam, and the family lived on this ancestral property, so at least they ended up in peace."

Seeing what he said, Zhao Caifeng felt a little sad, and asked, "Why didn't you escape when you caught fire? At worst, you can take the exam after three years."

"Girl, you don't understand. In order to prevent cheating, every number room is locked. Once you enter, you can't get out. You can only come out when you change the scene. Even if there is a fire, no one will unlock it for you." .My brother and I are separated by three or five rooms, and he can be heard screaming in the distance!" The shopkeeper said, tears streaming down his face, and continued: "This matter is very important. It’s been more than 30 years, but I couldn’t help it until I mentioned it. It is said that someone in your family is going to take the imperial examination, girl. I shouldn’t tell you this, but the imperial examination is really not a human thing. What's wrong with it, I have to make a mistake."

Zhao Caifeng looked at the old shopkeeper, and didn't know what to say for a while, but felt that she was a little dazed. The words said by the shopkeeper just now exceeded her three-view ability, and there were still people who wanted to prevent cheating. , and then watched helplessly as the scholars who might be the pillars of the country in the future were burned to death in it...

This cruel examination system is almost unheard of by Zhao Caifeng. Compared with the ancient imperial examinations, the college entrance examination?What is that?Zhao Caifeng couldn't help laughing at herself.

Seeing that Zhao Caifeng was stunned for a while, the shopkeeper also knew that what he said just now might scare her, so he just comforted her: "My old calendar is from decades ago. I heard that there have been no accidents in recent years. There are not many candidates who die every year."

Not many people died... Doesn't that mean that there are still people who die every year! ! ! !This is really maddening logic...

When Zhao Caifeng thought of this, she felt cold sweat.According to Song Mingxuan's physical condition, if he takes such an exam, he might not survive a year or so!No wonder it was seldom heard of someone who won the Juren and won the Jinshi in the second year.After the emotional test, everyone went home to take care of themselves. I really didn't have the energy to do it again in the next spring...

Zhao Caifeng sighed slightly, the exam still has to be taken!But how to minimize accidents is a topic worth pondering.

Zhao Caifeng only raised her head, and said to the shopkeeper, "Give me some flour for making sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it should be enough for nine days!"

The shopkeeper just smiled and said, "You little girl knows that you don't cook very much. You don't need flour to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. They are all glutinous rice flour and rice flour. Wait a moment, and I'll go inside and get them for you." .”

Zhao Caifeng only watched the shopkeeper go to the back to get rice noodles, and she was still standing there. It seems that the last time I went to Meiying Nunnery, blessing Song Mingxuan High School was an afterthought. First of all, I have to bless him to come out alive.

Zhao Caifeng sighed heavily again, the scholars in ancient times were really not ordinary people, no wonder there were few sons of rich families who were willing to study, and there were probably not many who tormented their sons like Madam Xiao.
