Chapter 123 122 Childishness is not limited by age

An Xin was sitting in the carriage and through the open curtains he saw many people on the street who, like him, had gone to the Imperial Examination Hall early to pick up people.

This also resulted in many horse-drawn carriages on the streets, avoiding accidents and congestion. Dazhuang drove the carriage very steadily.

Drive slowly and never get too close to other carriages, because there are already two carriages on the street that have collided due to the crowd, causing friction and greetings to each other's ancestors.

Fortunately, when they came out early and arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, the door of the examination hall had not yet been opened.

Da Zhuang took the lead and stopped the carriage at a fork in the road, so that they could pick up a few young masters. If the road was too crowded with people and carriages, they could still take a detour back.

Because there were so many people to pick up, An Xin brought two carriages this time. In addition to Xiaomai, the attendant bookboy arranged by Uncle An for An Rui, there was also Yantai, the long-time attendant of Li Ziyu.

Zhu Shi's servant Jin Bao, Jiang Zhou's follower A Qing, and Liu Boxing's servant Hai Zi all came.

Usually, apart from serving their masters, they are very obedient and rarely walk around the house. Occasionally, they will go to the kitchen to help chop wood, fetch water, and do some other things.

The servants would live such an honest and low-key life in the mansion, probably under the orders of their master. If they walked in and out of the mansion frequently, they might bump into their master An Xin and the two maids around her.

The morning sunlight spread across the earth, and with the sound of gongs and drums, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall finally opened slowly with a creak.

The examinees inside filed out one after another, and the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall suddenly became bustling with people.

Everyone stretched their necks and stood on a high place, looking into the crowd, looking for familiar figures.

An Xin was wearing a plain green robe with a cross collar and wide sleeves, and a belt of the same color tied around her waist, which further highlighted her tall and slender figure.

Standing on the wooden board in front of the carriage, a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water looked towards the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Seeing many candidates staggering out with pale faces, clearly lacking energy and malnourished, An Xin couldn't help but worry about Li Ziyu and the other six.

Taking the imperial examination in ancient times was truly a torture. People were locked up in a small cell, unable to eat or sleep well, and still had to expend energy and concentrate on the exam.

No wonder many candidates with weaker health will fall seriously ill after graduating.

The examination rooms assigned to Li Ziyu and Jiang Zhou were not far away. They walked out slowly and leisurely, carrying their examination baskets.

Even though they were in good physical condition due to regular exercise, the three examinations over nine days still consumed a lot of their energy.

Although he wasn't as pale and ghostly-looking as many other candidates, he also looked much more haggard during these few days.

The two of them walked in the crowd, looked up and around, and successfully saw little An Rui who was squeezed in the crowd.

Jiang Zhou shouted, but he couldn't hear because of the crowd and noise, so he had to squeeze over and grab An Rui's arm.

After the six people came out, they all tried to find each other in the crowd. Soon they gathered together. Seeing that each other was a little listless due to overworking their brains, they worked together to walk out of the crowd of examinees.

Because An Xin wanted to pick them up and go back as quickly as possible, the carriage stopped in a remote place. The few of them looked around but didn't see the people they wanted to see.

The disappointment in his eyes almost overflowed, and his expression turned grim.

An Xin was not wrong. If she didn't come to pick them up after the exams, they would definitely be angry.

"Hey! Here." A crisp voice floated into Ziran's ears.

The six of them turned their heads instantly and looked over with lightning-fast gazes. The corners of their lips raised on their haggard faces, finally revealing the slightest smile.

They looked at the woman standing on the carriage, her wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, her face dignified and beautiful, her demeanor outstanding, and she was waving at them with a smile.

When several servants saw their masters they ran over in a hurry and found that although they looked a little haggard, they were not as pale as most of the weak candidates who came out and staggered when walking and needed help.

Li Ziyu and the other six simply handed the examination baskets in their hands to them, and walked towards the carriage where An Xin was standing, their steps seeming a little anxious.

Liu Mingjie, who had just walked out of the crowd with a pale face and was supported by his servant, saw from afar several people striding towards the woman who was once within his reach.

His eyes, already bloodshot from jealousy, became even redder.

These shameless guys stayed in Wanhua Academy and did not follow the crowd and leave.

After receiving the guidance of that woman, they somehow seemed to have had lucky stats and passed the imperial examination all the way to the capital without any obstruction.

Every time after the exam, other candidates would walk out of the examination room with droopy eyes like eggplants hit by frost, but they would walk out in high spirits as if nothing had happened.

The test results were always at the top of the list, and even Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai took the first and second place all the way from the county test, which made Liu Mingjie secretly regret why he was not the one who got such excellent results.

His several secret suppressions not only failed to do anything to them, but those who were instigated by him to deal with them ended up with their families destroyed and their heads and bodies separated.

Just like the last Lantern Festival, he had clearly exposed their past and wanted the equally famous prime minister's son to deal with them.

Unexpectedly, they gained a reputation for being knowledgeable and talented.

Liu Mingjie felt like he had failed to gain anything and ended up losing the rice.

On An Xin's side, the six people who came to her shouted almost at the same time: "Little Shanzhang."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It seemed like only a few short days, but to them it seemed like they hadn't called each other by this name for a long time.

An Xin noticed the fatigue on their faces and said with concern, "You must be tired. Get on the carriage quickly. The food at home is ready.

After dinner, take a hot bath and wait until you have rested well. "

The six people felt warmed by An Xin's thoughtful arrangement. They nodded with a smile on their faces and raised their long legs to step onto An Xin's carriage.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's too crowded for all of you to get on this carriage. There's another one at the back. If you split up like this, everyone will have more space." An Xin reminded.

But the six people seemed to have problems with their ears. They all pretended not to hear it and finally squeezed into a carriage.

Several servants who were originally planning to walk back because they couldn't sit in the carriage were forced to sit in the carriage at the back without knowing what was going on.

Because there were too many people and carriages on this main road, it was so crowded that it was impossible to move forward for a while.

Da Zhuang took the lead and drove the carriage into an alley that was just big enough for one car to pass through, and chose to take another street and go back in a detour.

In order to smoothly pick up his master's students, Da Zhuang has come to Gongyuan several times and explored all the roads that lead to it.

From this we can see that An Xin does have some skills in training people.

He was able to train the originally honest and simple Da Zhuang into a smart man who is steady in his work and good at gathering information.

That was also because An Xin was not afraid of him making mistakes, so he used real money to let Da Zhuang go out and listen more, see more, and gain more experience, so that he could hone himself little by little.

An Xin, who was pulled in to ride in the same carriage, gritted his teeth and looked at the six tall and strong yet childish people.

Youyou asked, "Is it comfortable to be squeezed in a carriage like this?"

"Ahem!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of several people, their ears slightly red, and they turned their heads to look at the pedestrians on the street outside the carriage.

Thank you 2023...5203 ​​for the reward.

And all the darlings voted for Sansan.
