Chapter 571 Before the Exam

In the blink of an eye, it's August.

In August, although the scorching sun of July is no longer there, the streets are full of unusual bustle.

"Bought my family's number one scholar's pen, and let all the talented people come out with their wonderful pens, and write the eternal quatrains that have never been seen before or since!"

"Stay in our Zhuangyuan building, and the champion will be in your hands immediately!"

"..."

On the street, there are lively voices of small merchants selling test equipment everywhere, and the servants in the inn are not reluctant, and are dedicated to pulling all the students in green shirts into the inn, not mentioning the sky-high prices of this crowded inn money.

Those students with well-to-do families have made plans early on, and all the accommodation and examination equipment have been prepared early, so when they pass the street, they don't squint their eyes, and they look confident and superior.

However, those candidates who came from far away were confused. When they heard someone selling brushes here, they couldn't help but glance at them. The young servants dragged him into the inn, but they didn't resist.

It wasn't until he heard the staggering price that he seemed to be sober, and quickly blushed and waved his hands vigorously.

This kind of embarrassed foreign scholar, Si Ya has met no less than five on the way, and also saw a few haggard scholars with unkempt hair and torn clothes. She must have experienced many thrilling things on the way to rush for the exam!

Haozi drove the carriage, stop and go, usually it only took less than half an hour, but it took as long as an hour.

Bai Pangsan, Wu Jiasanlang and others didn't go out to the street to join in the fun, they were shutting up in the room and reviewing their textbooks.

When Siya and Haozi arrived, Mrs. Liu was helping several people prepare the clothes and supplies for the exam.

"At noon, I just stewed ice sugar and pear water, so Miss Si and Hao Zi will drink some together!" Ever since she knew Si Ya's plans for her, Mrs. Liu treated Si Ya less cautiously and more intimately.

After hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Siya smiled and said hello, and then entered the main courtyard with Mrs. Liu.

At this time, Bai Pang San and others who were reviewing their homework in the room also heard the news and came out of the room.

"I specially customized a set of test kits for you brothers. I wish you all the best exams!" The people here are bigger than Siya, and Siya naturally wants to call him brother respectfully.

"Thank you! Thank you!" At such a time, everyone loves to hear such words, and only the third class Bai Pang said to Siya with a smile, or embarrassment, or blushing.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, everyone entered the hall, and Mrs. Liu also brought up the cold rock sugar Sydney water.

During the dinner, Bai Pang and the others were talking, and they talked about some topics about the exam.

Si Ya listened to the people talking, while drinking rock sugar pear water, feeling very comfortable in her heart, suddenly, Wu Jiasanlang, who was opposite, gave Si Ya a wink.

At first glance, Si Ya thought she was mistaken, but after a closer look, Wu Jiasanlang was indeed winking at her with a very blunt face.

Seeing Siya looking at him, Wu Jiasanlang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he really is still not suitable for doing these little tricks.

Then, Saburo Wu talked to everyone and left the living room.

After a while, Si Ya also found an excuse and left the hall.

After leaving the living room, Siya saw Wu Jiasanlang standing in the front yard at a glance, so she walked over.

"A few days ago, I seemed to see Liang Xiucai!" Seeing Siya coming over and standing still, Wu Jiasanlang said to her in a low voice.

"Where is it? Who else is around him?" Upon hearing what Wu Jiasanlang said, Siya hurriedly asked.

The night before going out, Xiucai's mother specifically asked Siya to find Liang Xiucai. Although she didn't directly ask Siya to help find Liang Xiucai, she still hoped that Siya could help her pay attention, even if Siya Just see the upper side from a distance.

That's why Siya got a little excited when she heard what Wu Jiasanlang said!
"It was on the East Street. We were in the carriage at that time. I saw that the figure looked a bit like it, so I took a closer look. After I found out that the person was Liang Xiucai, I was about to get out of the carriage to look for him, but suddenly He's gone in a blink of an eye!" Speaking of this, Wu Jiasanlang's face was clearly filled with annoyance, one can imagine how depressed Wu Jiasanlang was when he got out of the car but saw no one.

A few days ago, Bai Pangsan took Wu Jiasanlang and others to visit the famous teacher, but Wu Jiasanlang was a little out of shape all day because of this incident.

"My aunt's letter also said Brother Xiucai would come to take the provincial exam, and the exam is coming up in a few days. It's the time when it's important. You can concentrate on the exam and don't think about it! These few days, Haozi and I have been walking around the streets more. Let's see if I can meet Brother Xiucai!" Although Si Ya also felt pity in her heart, she didn't show anything on her face, but said this to Saburo Wu.

"Okay! After I finish the exam, I will find someone together with you!" Hearing Siya's words, Wu Jiasanlang naturally felt that it made sense, so he said.

People in the village only thought that Liang Xiucai had been studying abroad all these years, and everyone didn't know anything about him and Cuigu, so the less people knew about looking for Liang Xiucai, the less people knew.

After Si Ya instructed Wu Jiasanlang a few more words, she went back to the living room first.

After a while, Saburo Wu also came back.

In the living room, everyone was enthusiastically discussing a test question for the last scientific examination, so they didn't notice Si Ya and Wu Jiasanlang.

After a while, Master Bai asked the boy to order a table and bring it over.

These days, Master Bai would order a table of noodles from the restaurant every now and then, which was regarded as special care for a few students.

Seeing Ximen coming over, Bai Pangsan left Siya and Haozi to have dinner here, Siya was not polite, let Liu take the bowl, and after filling another dish, he and Liu sat in the living room Had lunch in the compartment.

After lunch, Siya and Haozi didn't bother Bai Pangsan and the others anymore. It happened that Mrs. Liu was going to study at Niuqi Restaurant in the afternoon, so she followed Siya and Haozi back to the restaurant.

Because of Wu Jiasanlang's words, on the way back, Si Ya kept raising the curtain, looking at the students in green shirts on the street without blinking, hoping to meet Liang Xiucai.

In addition to Bai Pangsan and Wu Jiasanlang, Siya also prepared a set of examination equipment for Liang Xiucai, hoping that he can use it too.

Unfortunately, looking all the way, Si Ya didn't see Liang Xiucai's figure, so she was inevitably disappointed.

Liang Xiucai came to the provincial capital to take the exam, and he didn't know if his sister-in-law would come with her, and that child!Si Ya has been thinking about this in her heart.

In this way, Si Ya did not see Liang Xiucai until the time of the exam.

On the day of the exam, early in the morning, Si Ya, Hao Zi, and Mrs. Liu arrived at the courtyard rented by Bai Pang San.

At this time, Master Bai was leading Bai Pang San and others to sacrifice to the God of Examination in the courtyard, while Hao Zi was leading a servant to prepare carriages and horses for several candidates.

Si Ya and Liu Shi even went to prepare the first prize meal for Bai Pangsan, Wu Jiasanlang and others to take the exam.

After eating the test meal, preparing the test equipment and eating, Master Bai, Si Ya and the others sent Bai Pang San and his party out of the courtyard to the test room.

Although the examination room was only one street away from the courtyard, everyone still took a carriage to go there. This was also to use the carriage to occupy a quiet place for their candidates outside the examination room.

At this time, the examination room was already full of family members sending candidates to the examination. Fortunately, thanks to Master Bai's generosity, after a while, everyone's carriage found a place to stay!
It was noisy and chaotic outside the examination room. Everyone did not get out of the carriage, but sat in the carriage and talked, and then got out of the carriage when the exam officially started.

Although it was very noisy outside, it was very quiet inside the carriage!

Perhaps because of nervousness, everyone held their breath and stared at each other without saying a word. They could only listen to a few words of mutual encouragement from the candidates outside from time to time.

Master Bai also wanted to say a few words to his son, but the words got stuck in his throat, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He didn't want to put that much pressure on his son, so he could only hold back and said nothing, but looked at his son meaningfully.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the carriage, and then someone said that the chief examiner had entered the arena.

Bai Pangsan, Wu Jiasanlang and others could no longer stay in the carriage at this time, they all got out of the carriage and crowded towards the center of the examination room.

"Brother Bai!"

"Brother Shi Er!"

"Brother Wang!"

……

After a while, Bai Pangsan met a classmate from the academy, and saw him pushing forward while struggling to greet people.

After a while, the Yacha in charge of the examination room came out of the examination room with an iron gong!
"Everyone, don't mess around, all candidates stand here!"

After a few piercing gongs, the Yacha's rough voice shouted forcefully.

At the moment when Yacha's voice fell, there was no sound in front of the extremely noisy examination room.

Standing behind the crowd, Si Ya couldn't help but stroked her forehead when she saw this scene, the people in this yamen are really mighty and extraordinary!
After watching Bai Pangsan, Wu Jiasanlang and others enter the examination room one by one, Master Bai also left the entrance of the examination room with Si Ya, Hao Zi and others.

"Actually, it's not how powerful the yamen is! It's because of the regulations of this dynasty. Anyone who violates the regulations of the examination room in the examination room will be immediately kicked out of the examination room, and will not be allowed to take the examination for ten years. The last one was Because some candidates still yelled loudly after the yacha spoke, so they were expelled immediately!"

Master Bai seemed to see Si Ya's surprise, so he explained to Si Ya as soon as he left the entrance of the examination room.

"I heard that among those people there is a young master of the Shangshu family!" Haozi also heard about this matter, so he added after hearing Master Bai's words.

Seeing what the two said, Si Ya couldn't help sticking out her tongue.

I didn't expect the rules and regulations in ancient times to be so strict. Thinking about it, the monarchs of this era shouldn't be too bad!At least she hasn't heard of any wars since she got here!
