After drinking ginger soup and taking a hot bath, Zhao Qianci didn't feel any discomfort, and his exam went very smoothly today.
During the process, Zhao Qianci did not experience any accidents.
The row of exam dormitories next to the latrine dormitories from yesterday has also been replaced. The order has been rearranged.
This greatly annoyed the clerks in charge of registration.
In the past, whenever I passed an exam, I would always sit in the same exam room after entering the school. But what's going on this time? It's only been a few days, and they've already changed rooms several times.
Well, there was nothing they could do; this was their job. So, despite the yamen runners' sullen anger, they arranged seats for the students.
Zhao Qianci, who was identified as a "lucky star," also attracted great interest from both test takers and invigilators.
I've never seen such a lucky person. They were well-prepared for the exam, and as soon as they left the exam room, the exam room collapsed.
He escaped by just one breath; who dares to say he wasn't lucky?
When Lord Qiu learned that an old man from Yingyong Village had come to participate in the preliminary examination, he was quite surprised. When he heard about the old man's "good luck," he felt even more amazed.
The reason why this heroic village was able to win against overwhelming odds is truly remarkable.
Luck is also a part of strength. Maybe the fact that Yingyong Village was able to win against overwhelming odds back then was inseparable from the luck of this examinee.
Great, Heroic Village is even more interesting now.
Today is another "lucky day" for Zhao Qianci.
Surprisingly, nothing unexpected happened today. I entered the exam room smoothly and left smoothly. Everything went well in the evening as well.
Zhao Qianci was so overjoyed that he almost doubted if he was dreaming.
Nothing happened that night. Today is the fifth day, the last session of the county examination.
What will happen today?
Hehehe, after pushing open the door, Zhao Qianci subconsciously dodged back a bit, and was slightly relieved when he saw that no cold water was splashed on him.
I really hope my wife will go easy on me today.
Seeing Zhao Qianci's pitiful expression, Huang felt too embarrassed to take action.
Thinking to himself, he wondered if he could just let Zhao Qianci go to the exam hall directly. As for what unexpected things might happen, it didn't matter, since the family didn't rely on the old man to bring glory to the family anyway.
But the die is cast, and the suffering has been going on for more than a day or two; it must continue today, otherwise all the suffering before would have been for nothing.
Okay, the reason is strong enough that no one can stop it.
Zhao Qianci noticed that the old woman had neither needle nor knife in her hand.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she turned around to go eat, Huang pulled out a leather whip from somewhere.
When the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, Zhao Qianci felt that he was doomed.
The next second, I was whipped on the leg. It stung, and I knew without even looking that my leg was bleeding.
Zhao Qianci turned around and looked at Madam Huang.
"Old man, don't be angry, let me explain, ptooey, let me explain." Huang was such a sycophant.
Zhao Qianci was quite helpless. What could he do but endure it? He couldn't very well beat up his wife.
"You, you, could you please not hit so hard next time? That hurts too much."
After Zhao Qian finished speaking, Madam Huang smiled ingratiatingly.
"Old man, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I'll apply the medicine for you first."
Zhao Qianci went to the examination hall again today, limping.
Now, whether it's the gatekeepers or the patrollers inside, almost everyone knows Zhao Qianci, and they all say he's a lucky guy.
But in the eyes of the gatekeeper, he was just an unlucky fellow.
During the five-day exam period, he had been limping for two days, and today it was even worse; he was walking with a limp.
Whether the test takers are unlucky or lucky is not important; what matters most to them is that there can be no more mistakes in this exam.
That evening, Zhao Qian walked out of the examination hall unharmed, and Huang couldn't help but burst into tears at the entrance of the examination hall.
It's been so tough for her these past few days.
Who can know her suffering?
She will never again lay a hand on her own husband.
Not only is she being disliked, but she also has to live in constant fear. All her years of being a virtuous wife and loving mother have been ruined in these past few days.
A week later, the results were released. The Zhao family, who had finished the exam, still lived in the county town, waiting for the results to be released so they could make the next arrangements.
After the exams, Zhao Qianci's bad luck passed, and now he dares to wander around the county town with his sons.
“Old man, you’ve been out and about all day, so you can rest now.”
"Keep studying tomorrow. It would be embarrassing if none of you passed the prefectural examination in April, not even qualifying as a student."
Like a parent, Madam Huang supervised her husbands and children.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianci felt it was an insult to his knowledge.
"Old woman, don't worry. With my knowledge, passing the imperial examination is a piece of cake."
Huang twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Well, I trust your knowledge, but I don't trust your luck."
And you bunch of little brats, don't think everything's fine just because the exams are over.
There are many more exams waiting for you, so you'd better study hard. If you don't, I'll break your legs.
Zhao Qianci blinked, saying nothing, but his expression seemed quite unconvinced.
Zhao Qingyan found it amusing, glanced around at everyone, and decided to stick to being a good person.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you see, everyone has worked hard these past few days of exams. How about we have hot pot tomorrow?"
Zhao Qingyan had barely finished speaking when she received a response.
The most lively little girl, Qingbei, raised her hand and said, "Sister, can we still have barbecue? I want to eat meat skewers."
Zhao Yonggeng suggested, "Let's have a hot pot with two broths. I can't eat spicy food, so a clear broth wouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
The moment the topic of food comes up, the whole family immediately perks up like clockwork, discussing their individual requests.
Zhao Qingyan agreed to all of them. Madam Huang said with great disappointment, "You're so hopeless!"
"You're doing this and sitting that, aren't you afraid of exhausting yourself?"
"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of? It's just preparing some ingredients."
Besides, which man in our family doesn't know how to barbecue? Once I've prepared the seasonings and tools, the rest can be handled by the men.
"Let's just eat what's already prepared."
Huang was very satisfied with Zhao Qingyan's plan.
The next day, the Zhao family prepared barbecue and hot pot. The barbecue was so incredibly delicious that people gradually gathered at the Zhao family's gate.
By the time the Zhao family noticed, elderly men and women had already come in carrying baskets.
"Oh, we're your neighbors living next door. The smell of your yard is so wonderful that we shamelessly came over to exchange some food with you."
"Look at this meat I just bought at the market. See how much of that special-flavored meat I can get for you?"
