Chapter 202 Autumn Examination

After a while, Song Jingyun wrote an ending to the article, picked it up and looked at it carefully. When the ink stains were completely dry, he gave it to Jiang Mixia, "My lady, come and see how I write this article."

"I took a quick look at your article when you wrote it just now. The wording is good and the meaning is very precise. But I want to know why you wanted to write such an article?"

Jiang Mixia was curious, "Is it for Master Xun to see?"

Xun Yuanbo has been living next door for some time. He doesn't make much noise on weekdays, but as soon as it's time for dinner, or if someone buys something to eat here, he will definitely appear at the door.

In Jiang Mixia's opinion, Xun Yuanbo is a foodie like Song Jingyun.

Still very authentic.

"I want to show it to Master Xun to see how it is written. If it is used as a discussion article on current affairs, how would he judge it?" Song Jingyun answered seriously.

Jiang Mixia, "..."

Which year's current affairs policy can be tested on this? Even if the emperor is crazy, I'm afraid it won't work.

But when Xun Yuanbo read the article, he laughed for a long time and said, "It's very well written. I think if we take the test this year, your article will definitely win first place."

"Master Xun spoils him. The current affairs policy will never test these things." Jiang Mixia held his forehead helplessly.

"That's hard to say for sure." Xun Yuanbai stroked his beard. "Food is the most important thing for the people. Whether you are a royal noble or a commoner, the most important thing for you is food and drink. If you think about it carefully, it can be considered a major livelihood issue."

"In my opinion, there may be such questions this year."

After all, he is a young man with great luck. Everything is possible in front of him!

Jiang Mixia, "..."

Well, as long as you two are happy.

I don't know if it was because Xun Yuanbo and Song Jingyun were discussing the article too loudly and were overheard by others, or because of something else, but the news that Song Jingyun guessed that this current affairs policy would include a topic related to food spread like wildfire.

In just two days, most of the scholars in the city who came to take part in the autumn examination had already known about this.

When everyone heard this, they were surprised at first, then half-believing and half-doubting, and finally they all doubted Song Jingyun's talent and knowledge.

If the last border defense test was a bit far-fetched, then this so-called food test is simply nonsense.

It seems that Song Jingyun really has no real talent or knowledge, and is just a swindler.

But some people also say that Song Jingyun is probably a strange man who can think of things that ordinary people cannot think of, can jump out of all rules and regulations, has solidified thinking, dares to speak out, and is truly a person with real knowledge and high ideological level.

Ruan Gaofei sneered when he heard this.

At this point, it is really ridiculous that he still believes in Song Jingyun, a man who passed the imperial examination and became a scholar by relying on his intuition and luck.

But it’s better this way. The more you brag, the more likely you will fall from the clouds and feel the pain when the results are announced.

Ruan Gaofei was full of confidence and only carefully read and recited a few articles he had written on the subject of official administration and floods.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the autumn examination.

The Autumn Examination consists of three consecutive examinations, each lasting three days. For each examination, one must enter the examination room in the afternoon of the first day and emerge in the morning of the second day after the examination.

Like the previous exams, the autumn examination still requires identity verification and body searches to prevent cheat sheets.

The Imperial Examination Hall in Xingnan Prefecture was not small and could accommodate more than 300 candidates for this autumn examination. Therefore, the candidates were queuing in long queues, waiting to enter.

The government offices and their runners were all patrolling around to make sure no one was causing trouble, or to help deal with various emergencies.

The rustling sounds of footsteps and the voices of people reading out names loudly at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall echoed across the land, sounding solemn and dignified.

It can be said that the atmosphere around was already extremely tense before entering the tribute hall.

Some people with poor mental quality were sweating profusely and could not stop wiping their foreheads with their sleeves. Even those with better mental quality had serious expressions at this time, fearing any mistakes.

Jiang Mixia came with Song Jingyun today, but those who were sending their children to take the exam had to stop a hundred meters away, so Jiang Mixia could only watch from afar as Song Jingyun lined up to go in.

The team was not moving very fast. After a cup of tea, Song Jingyun had only advanced thirty or forty meters.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But as he was about to enter the door, Song Jingyun turned his head to look at Jiang Mixia.

There were many people seeing him off, but Song Jingyun could still spot his wife in the crowd.

Song Jingyun looked at Jiang Mixia from a distance, grinned, and made an "OK" gesture to her.

This was what Jiang Mixia had taught him before, and he remembered it clearly.

Jiang Mixia saw it clearly and waved her arms to show that she saw the message he conveyed.

The candidates who were preparing to enter the examination room around Song Jingyun saw the strange gesture Song Jingyun made. They first looked at each other, and then looked at their own palms.

Could this be some kind of ritual to pray for good luck? With this question in mind, everyone tried to make the same gesture.

At that moment, everyone present made an "OK" gesture.

Jiang Mixia, "..."

Quite spectacular!

During the days when Song Jingyun was taking the exam, Jiang Mixia couldn't adapt to the fact that her son-in-law was not around, and she was also worried that he might be uneasy, so she stayed in the inn most of the time.

Xun Yuanbo couldn't sit still anymore.
