After the first exam, the candidates were finally able to come out of their rooms.
We have been squatting inside for the past few days and it has become smelly, so everyone came to the yard where the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant to get some of the aroma.
Gu Lin mysteriously took Rong Yubai aside and told him about the meat buns that suddenly appeared on the table that night.
Rong Yubai smiled and said, "Uncle, just eat your food with peace of mind. The meat buns are fine. They should be available in the next few nights."
When the meat buns appeared on the table, he knew they were delivered by Chaoxi.
But I’m a little confused. Why do we have to eat meat buns every night at home?
"Abai?"
An uncertain shout came from the side.
The two turned around and saw a pale-faced man standing under the osmanthus tree.
"Cousin." Rong Yubai turned to face him, smiled and nodded, "Long time no see."
Soft eyebrows and a gentle smile give people a dangerous aura.
"Are...are you okay?" As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Shihan staggered and fainted.
"Brother Shihan, Brother Shihan, are you okay?"
"Call the doctor, doctor..."
There was chaos over there, and Rong Yubai was watching with a faint smile.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Now, it's your turn... It's not good."
…
Time flies.
Rong Chaoxi personally laid a soft blanket in his elder brother's carriage and then lay down in it himself.
"Chaoxi, the time is almost up. Do you want to come out and wait for your brother?" Rong Yuanyou lifted the car curtain.
"Yes, yes, yes." The little guy rolled over and climbed onto the roof and sat down.
There was a crowd of people outside the Imperial Examination Hall, rubbing their hands and looking anxiously.
Rong Chaoxi also saw the figures of Old Lady Rong and Mrs. Hu.
"Mom, Han'er said he did well on the Four Books and Classics and the Yijing exam, and he's also confident in the essay test. He's sure to get first place."
"Our Marquis' Mansion can reach a higher level."
He will definitely be able to win the first place and make his mother proud. Let's see if the old lady dares to look down on him in the future.
Mrs. Hu straightened her back, her face beaming with pride.
The old lady was also smiling.
"Four years ago, Han'er won first place in the provincial examination and became famous in Kyoto. He has also been taught by Master Wu for three years. It is no problem for him to win first place in the provincial examination. He will definitely pass the metropolitan and palace examinations as well."
"Having won three first prizes in a row, smoke will be coming out of our Rong family's ancestral tomb." The old lady grinned with joy.
"The door is open, the door is open, come out, everyone."
There was a loud shout at the door, and everyone rushed forward.
After nine consecutive days of exams, the candidates were already pale and some elderly candidates collapsed as soon as they walked out of the door.
A soldier carried him aside and arranged a doctor to give him acupuncture treatment.
"I saw the eldest young master..." Xiaoshan squeezed into the crowd and helped Rong Yubai and Gu Lin out of the crowd.
Their hair was a little messy and their clothes were wrinkled, but they were in great spirits and their eyes were sparkling.
Rong Xuqing looked at the ginseng soup he was carrying, and then at the two people with rosy faces.
"Muxiu, take the ginseng soup and tonic to the old man over there."
It’s better to give it to those in need. They don’t seem to need tonic to “bring back the soul”.
"How are you? Are you hungry? You must not have eaten well in the past nine days. You have all lost weight." Qin Nanjing felt very distressed, although she couldn't see where they had lost weight.
"Cousin, we ate very well." Gu Lin said excitedly, "On the ninth day of the ninth month, someone brought us meat buns every night. Although there were sometimes small teeth marks on them, they were always hot."
"And I'm not tired at all. Even after sitting in the cell for a whole day, I don't feel any pain in my body. And... I haven't had to go to the toilet for three days and I don't feel anything. It's amazing..." There was a strange light in Gu Lin's eyes.
He has been extremely lucky these days.
“…It’s quite magical.”
Everyone in the Rong family turned their eyes to Rong Chaoxi on the roof of the car.
Rong Shihan comes out. Rong Chaoxi points to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
He leaned on Meng Fanfei and flew out, his face as pale as paper and extremely weak.
Mrs. Hu looked at him with great distress, "Help the young master into the car quickly."
When Rong Shihan raised his eyes, he saw Rong Yubai standing high up, looking at him with a smile on his face and eyes as deep as the abyss.
His lips moved slightly, and he said something to him silently.
The fear dominated by Rong Yubai instantly hit his heart defenses, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.
"Is the doctor here?" Meng Fanfei picked up Rong Shihan and rushed towards the carriage of Annan Marquis Mansion.
The old lady and Mrs. Hu left crying and wailing.
"Why is he so weak?" Qin Nanjing asked.
Rong Shihan has a pretty good physical condition, so why does he feel dizzy as soon as he goes out, just like the old candidates?
"He was assigned to a place near the toilet."
"Oh~~~~~ I'm home, I'm home."
Everyone returned home in a lively atmosphere.
A sumptuous banquet was prepared and musicians were invited to play to celebrate their victory in overcoming a difficult time.
Rong Yubai saw that everyone was deliberately avoiding him the whole afternoon. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to. At the dinner table, he took the initiative to talk about it.
"This time, Abai has given his all and will definitely live up to Grandpa's cultivation and everyone's expectations."
He gave the most perfect answer in the best condition.
Gu Lin scratched his head, stood up and raised his glass.
"Me...me too. Although I'm not as smart as Abai, I'll definitely have no problem passing the imperial examination."
"Then let's congratulate our successful candidate in advance..." Everyone raised their glasses and drank happily.
Rong Xuqing grabbed the wine glass that was about to enter Rong Chaoxi's mouth.
The little guy pouted in dissatisfaction.
…
Annan Marquis Mansion.
Rong Shihan slowly woke up, and Rong Yubai's provocative face lingered in his mind.
"Mother, mother..." He called Hu.
"Go and ask around. Rong Yubai...when did he recover?"
