The next morning.
Wu Gong left Jiang's house early and went to the military camp in the north of the city.
Among the soldiers led by the Qin general, there were those who were specifically responsible for reconnaissance. After Jiang Hai returned from welcoming his bride, he dispatched a group of people to the capital.
After arriving at the military camp, he discussed with the Qin general and wrote the task in encrypted text.
Soon, several pigeons flew out of the military camp and headed north.
…
Three days later, in the capital.
The triennial Autumn Examination officially begins.
The imperial examination system in Dayong developed relatively quickly, which was not the case in Jiang Hai's impression of the imperial examination system during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Darong's imperial examination was more like a combination of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations. Candidates were selected through the provincial examinations, and then there were the metropolitan examinations and the palace examinations at the beginning of the year.
Every superior state capital has an examination center, and of course the one in the capital is the most important.
Lu Mansion.
Lu Qian had already prepared for this. Having performed well in the literary gathering last time, he was full of confidence for this autumn examination.
Mr. Yuan, who was at the literary gathering last time, was also a member of the examiner team. Lu Qian had a very pleasant conversation with him before and left a good impression on him.
It was rare that Mr. Lu even saw him out of the house today and gave him some words of concern and encouragement.
The carriage left the Lu Mansion and headed for the examination hall.
In the carriage, Lu Wan brought the maids and servants to send Lu Qian to the examination room. Lu Qian was still flipping through a book on the way.
"Brother, if you pass the exam this time, you will be eligible to become an official. Aren't you excited?"
"Why are you so excited? Let's pass the exam first."
"I heard from my father that after the exams, we're going to arrange a marriage for you. It's Grandpa's idea."
"How come I don't know?"
"Oh, I'm so careless. I should have told you after you finished the test. Wouldn't this affect your test?"
Lu Wan realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and felt a little guilty.
Lu Qian didn't care. After the repeated blows, the little fat man had built a wall in his heart that was higher than the city wall. He said calmly,
"It's okay, it won't affect anything. Let's talk about it after the exam."
"Shuang'er and Su Yanan's poetry club has started. The location was chosen a few days ago. It's in Qingyun Villa, not far from the east gate."
Lu Wan told him about this. Yuchi Shuang was very happy since she came back from the villa. The first friend she thought of to share this with was Lu Wan.
"Oh, that's great, but we can only go and see it after the imperial examination is over."
Lu Qian replied and continued reading, not being too surprised.
When Lu Wan talked about this, she was actually quite optimistic about Su Yanan and felt that this talented woman could be her sister-in-law.
However, seeing that Lu Qian was preparing for the exam very seriously, he didn't continue to talk about it and just sat quietly.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the examination room.
Before entering the examination room, Lu Wan and he checked the baskets for preparing for the exam again. Most of the baskets contained dry food and other things that they had eaten in the examination room over the past few days.
Everything was ready, so Lu Qian went forward to line up and prepare to enter.
At this time, Luo Zheng was also among the people queuing.
The two met at the literary meeting and greeted each other.
We arrived not too late, so we were at the front of the queue.
When Lu Wan saw Luo Zheng, she looked around but didn't see Guo Qianqian.
I guess Guo Qianqian is autistic. Lu Wan also guessed something about what happened last time.
Lu Wan got into the car and went back only after Lu Qian entered the examination room.
On the way, I had just mentioned the matter of Qingyun Villa to Lu Qian, and now I wanted to see what it looked like, so I said to the driver,
"Let's go to the General's Mansion."
The driver responded with a "OK", knowing that the general's mansion Lu Wan was talking about was Yuchi's. He went there occasionally and didn't need to confirm which general's mansion it was.
At this time, the General's Mansion.
Unlike the tension in the examination room, Jiang Hai and his wife were still sleeping soundly in Yuchi Ziling's room.
The eldest lady's sleeping posture has always been unfriendly. She always puts her arms and legs on Jiang Hai while sleeping, making Jiang Hai her big pillow.
The morning sun has come out and the room is much brighter.
Yuchi Ziling's eyelids twitched slightly, but she couldn't overcome the sleepiness and was still sleeping soundly. She just moved her body a little and put one foot directly on Jiang Hai's chest.
At this time, Jiang Hai was in a sweet dream.
In the dream, Jiang Hai was running on the green field, raising his arms and running in circles to celebrate his victory.
He led a group of talented players from Xincheng to the World Cup and even scored a hat trick in the final.
The audience in the stadium was celebrating wildly, with noise, whistles and screams all mixed together.
Jiang Hai enjoyed it very much. He finally realized his dream. After so many years, he finally saw the World Cup trophy.
The dream transitioned to the award ceremony.
Jiang Hai led everyone to stand on the podium, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously. This had been China's dream for many years, and it came true in Jiang Hai's dream.
Jiang Hai's eyes were so excited that tears were streaming down his face.
After receiving the Hercules Cup, Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel excited. He hugged it and gave it a few kisses.
After the kiss, Jiang Hai thought, maybe the trophy was also moved, why did it feel a little warm?
I wasn't sure, so I bit it a few more times, and it was indeed true. Why did the trophy still feel a little soft?
Jiang Hai was confused in the dream.
At this time, the eldest lady had been awakened by his series of actions.
She looked at Jiang Hai with a confused look on her face as he held her feet and did unspeakable things.
It's numb, my saliva is flowing down my feet.
The young lady couldn't stand it any longer and kicked him to the ground.
This guy has some problems. He was sleeping soundly, but he picked up someone's feet and started chewing them, and he chewed them so hard.
"Oh, what happened? Wife, are you murdering your husband?" Jiang Hai opened his eyes in a daze and said in a muffled voice.
"You, I, I am really impressed. I can't even sleep peacefully."
Yuchi Ziling's chest heaved, and she felt a little angry because of a nameless anger mixed with the grumpiness from waking up.
"Hmm?" Jiang Hai didn't know about his obscene behavior just now, and explained to his wife happily,
"My dear, I had a dream. I dreamed that I won the game. I was so happy."
"Oh, really?" Yuchi Ziling glanced at the instep with disdain and said, "Well, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that a wild boar was chasing me and gnawing on my feet."
"Where is this nasty wild boar? Tell me and I'll catch it and roast it for dinner."
"Puchi." The eldest lady couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Hai scratched his head, thinking of the feeling of the trophy in his dream just now, and immediately connected it with it. He asked with a twitch of his mouth,
"You're not talking about me, are you?"
"Yeah, that's right, it's you. Hahahaha, bake it yourself."
“…”
Jiang Hai pursed his lips and climbed back to the edge of the bed to sit down.
The new day started so happily.
…
Lu Wan came to Yuchi Shuang's yard.
I found out that Su Yanan was there too.
Su Yanan also invited a few people to come together today. They were all women from the capital who were preparing to join the poetry club.
Yuchi Shuang saw Lu Wan coming and greeted her happily.
"Sister Lu Wan, you're here just in time. We're going to the poetry club soon. Let's go together."
"Really? That's great."
