Chapter 951 You have some self-awareness
In the evening, Qiao Xuan specially used red dates, ginkgo nuts, lotus seeds, and gastrodia to stew black chicken soup, made beef and wild mushroom dry pot, steamed river eel, made braised pork, and opened a small jar of fragrant Chongyang wine to drink with Shao Yunduan, as a way to celebrate for him and to replenish his body.
Taking an exam that determines the direction of your life in an extremely tense environment for nine days and nine nights would make even the most talented person nervous and tense.
After such an ordeal, people are now mentally relaxed. Everyone feels tired and empty as if they have shed a layer of skin. It's time to replenish their energy.
The delicious food took his mouth and soothed his stomach. Shao Yunduan looked at Qiao Xuan and suddenly felt extremely at ease and satisfied.
Nothing is more satisfying than a delicious meal and home-cooked taste after a big competition! Sitting together with family, under the warm lights, even if there is no meaning in the conversation, it is a great satisfaction in the world.
The next day, Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou came to visit together.
Even though the two men had rested for a day, their complexions were still not very good. They looked very haggard, with dark circles under their eyes, which was due to the lack of rest.
When the two saw Qiao Xuan, they greeted her with smiles on their faces and called her "Sister-in-law!" Qiao Xuan could still see that they were both a little uneasy, and it seemed that they were a little unsure about this subject.
She didn't want to say much about such things, so she just smiled and answered them, inviting them to have lunch. After watching them sit and talk with Shao Yunduan, she went to prepare it herself.
I don’t know what the three of them talked about. After lunch, when Lu Min and the other two left, the smiles on their faces deepened and they seemed to be in a much better mood.
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but be curious and asked Shao Yunduan how they did in the exam.
Shao Yunduan laughed: "There shouldn't be any problem, but it depends on how the examiner judges it!"
Qiao Xuan exclaimed, "That's right. It all depends on the examiner!"
This is different from the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination has standard answers, scoring points, and step-by-step scoring. After the test, you basically know the result.
This is not the case for the imperial examination. It depends on whether the essay suits the taste of the examiner and the examiners, which is all based on luck.
However, if the article is well written, even the most picky person will not be able to find any mistakes, and it is still possible to pass the imperial examination. But it is hard to say what your rank will be.
Shao Yunduan rested at home for two days, and then went out for a walk with Qiao Xuan.
There were many gatherings among the candidates at this time, but Shao Yunduan, Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou had no interest and did not go.
The two of them simply went for a walk around the outskirts of Beijing together. Shao Yunduan felt that it was a rare opportunity for him to have some free time without any worries, so naturally he wanted to accompany his wife.
The two of them had pretty bad luck. Beijing is so big, yet they ran into that guy Qiao Hongxi again.
The two were quite speechless about this. They were about to turn a blind eye and continue to go boating and enjoy the scenery, but Qiao Hongxi did not let them go. He walked up to them with a sneer and said, "You left when you saw me. Are you guilty? Ha!"
Qiao Xuan: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"you!"
Qiao Hongxi got angry again, looking at Shao Yunduan and sneering, "Why are you so arrogant? The results will be announced in a few days, so what do you think? Are you sure you can pass?"
Shao Yunduan smiled: "I don't know."
"Ha!" Qiao Hongxi was even more proud: "You still have some self-awareness!"
