Chapter 30 He... wanted to see what Su Jinshi looked like
"Mom, don't worry." Wei Jianming said confidently.
In Shen Shilang's carriage, Su Jinshi is very nervous. What's this feeling of sending her boyfriend into the examination room?
Thinking that he would be able to see Shen Shilang in the next two days, Su Jinshi decided not to use the voice box to talk to Shen Shilang in order not to affect his exam.
Therefore, I should seize the time and talk more with Shen Shilang before he enters the examination room.
When Shen Shilang was having breakfast, Su Jinshi had been chattering beside him.
Shen Shilang didn't find it annoying either.
Su Jinshi has now developed the habit of eating with Shen Shilang.
Make yourself a cup of coffee, two slices of toast and a fried egg every morning.
When she was done, Shen Shilang's breakfast was also delivered by the servants.
She sat down, put her phone in front of her, and chatted with Shen Shilang while eating.
In the carriage at this time, Su Jinshi asked Shen Shilang, "Do you want me to prevent Wei Jianming from entering the examination room?"
Shen Shilang shook his head helplessly and smiled, "No need, even if he uses all his skills, he can't beat me in the test, don't worry."
"All right."
The carriage was not far from the Imperial Examination Hall and could no longer move forward.
The servant driving the horse said through the curtain, "Sir, the road ahead is blocked. It's full of people coming to send their students to the examination hall. I'm afraid it will take a while to get through."
Shen Shilang lifted the curtain and took a look. The carriages in front were blocked from moving forward, and there were crowds of people surrounding the carriages.
Shen Shilang saw that they were not far from the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall, so he said, "Stop here. I'll walk over."
"Yes." The driver got off the carriage first and then took the bench and put it in place.
Shen Shilang lifted the curtain and was about to dismount when he saw the coachman reaching out his hand to help him.
Shen Shilang laughed and said, "Not so fragile."
After saying that, he jumped off the carriage.
Wei Jianming was a little annoyed because the carriage was not moving. He pulled aside the curtain and saw Shen Shilang passing by carrying a bundle.
"Shen Shilang got off the carriage and walked over by himself." Wei Jianming lowered the curtain and turned to Madam Wei and Wei Ruyan and said, "I think the carriage won't be able to move for a while, so I'll get off and walk too."
"That's good. Let's check it out earlier and enter the Imperial Examination Hall to avoid any accidents." Madam Wei said, "We will move forward slowly with the carriage."
Wei Jianming nodded and got out of the car.
He and Shen Shilang arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall one after the other and lined up, with a few people in between.
When the two were almost in line, Mrs. Wei's carriage slowly moved over.
Mrs. Wei and Wei Ruyan simply did not get out of the car. After seeing Wei Jianming pass the inspection and successfully enter the Imperial Examination Hall, they turned the carriage around and left.
Although Su Jinshi couldn't chat with Shen Shilang for the past three days, he didn't feel bored.
While eating snacks, I watched Shen Shilang answer questions.
After handing in the paper, it was time to eat, so he ate while watching Shen Shilang eat.
She didn't dare to chat with Shen Shilang.
The candidates are all sitting in small open cubicles, but there is no sound insulation.
If you speak softly here, people around you can hear you.
Su Jinshi didn't want Shen Shilang to be kicked out of the examination room like a madman.
But sometimes when he got bored, Su Jinshi would go and check on Wei Jianming.
Su Jinshi didn't know much about these ancient studies, but he had always been good at Chinese and classical Chinese literature in school, so he could understand them.
She read the articles written by Wei Jianming and found that they were far inferior to Shen Shilang in both writing style and insights.
No wonder Shen Shilang said there was no need to mess with Wei Jianming, as Wei Jianming could not beat him in the exam.
Su Jinshi not only went to see Wei Jianming's, because he really had nothing to do, but also went to see other candidates'.
She found that after reading Shen Shilang's article, she found other people's articles unattractive.
The cubicle where candidates take the exam is also where they rest at night.
After the exam, when it’s time to rest at night, I would take down the table that I used during the day and place it in front of my seat. There were grooves on the walls on both sides that could hold the table, and together with the seat, they would form a short bed.
Shen Shilang put the bed together, spread out the cushion and mat that Manager Yue had prepared for him, placed mosquito repellent oil next to the pillow, opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, and then went to sleep.
Su Jinshi observed that Shen Shilang's conditions were relatively good.
Most of the candidates did not have Shen Shilang's cool headband, and their mats were also made of bamboo and were a bit hard, unlike the one that Manager Yue prepared for Shen Shilang, which was made of soft fabric and no one knew what it was made of, but it was as soft as cloth.
The situation on Wei Jianming's side was also good, after all, Mrs. Wei was personally taking care of things for him.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
It was just because he was injured that he couldn't lie down on a cool mat, so he lay on the thick cushion that Mrs. Wei had prepared for him. After a while, he felt so hot that he sat up in irritation.
In addition, the rest conditions in the Gongyuan are limited, the sleeping area is narrow, and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all done in this small space, and the air is smelly.
Wei Jianming couldn't bear all this and didn't get any rest at all.
Early the next morning, the candidates took out their own dry food to eat.
Because the weather was hot, I was afraid that the food would go bad and cause stomach upset, which would affect my exams.
So what they brought were baked, very dry naan bread, jerky and the like.
Although it is not easy to spoil, it is dry and hard. It is really uncomfortable to eat it early in the morning.
They all frowned and drank water while forcing themselves to eat.
When it comes to food, Shopkeeper Yue doesn't have any good ideas.
Therefore, Shen Shilang also brought dry naan and beef jerky.
When Su Jinshi saw this, he lowered his voice, leaned close to the phone, and whispered, "Your breakfast is too dry, you must be uncomfortable. I'll buy you some food, so no one else can see."
Su Jinshi's whisper suddenly rang in Shen Shilang's ears, as if the girl was whispering in his ear.
It seemed like it wasn't an illusion, he could even feel Su Jinshi's breath on his ears when he spoke.
Even, it's hot.
Shen Shilang shuddered and hurriedly covered his ear, but the other ear that was not covered had already turned red.
Shen Shilang's heartbeat quickened and his cheeks turned red.
Although he couldn't see her, he seemed to be able to feel that Su Jinshi was very close to him.
In his mind, he could already imagine the girl leaning over him and whispering in his ear.
Shen Shilang was a little stunned. He... wanted to see what Su Jinshi looked like.
While Shen Shilang was daydreaming, a bowl of thick, soft, hot white porridge suddenly appeared in front of him, along with a big meat bun, a boiled egg, a fried dough stick, and two plates of pickled vegetables.
"Eat quickly. I just checked and no one noticed you." Su Jinshi whispered, "Eat quickly while no one is paying attention."
"Okay." Shen Shilang said in a low voice, and quickly started eating in a low-key manner.
