Chapter 169
There are four county examinations, one every day. These days, Jiaojiao gets up early every day to send her father off, and then squats outside the examination room waiting for her father. No matter how Mrs. Wang persuades her, she won't go back, not to mention that Qin Mianmian unconditionally supports all Jiaojiao's actions.
The little Jiaojiao squatted on the ground, looking up at Old Lady Wang with her watery eyes: "Grandma Wang, Jiaojiao is waiting for Daddy, she won't leave."
Facing Jiaojiao's clear eyes that were filled with expectation, Old Wang could only compromise helplessly and turned around to buy them some big white buns as a meal.
Fortunately, Yin Zheng gave her some money before entering the examination hall, and told her to buy whatever Jiaojiao wanted to eat. Otherwise, Old Wang really wouldn't be willing to spend that money to buy big white buns.
Even so, she couldn't help but feel bad when paying, as two meat buns cost three cents.
There were quite a lot of people waiting outside the examination hall, but most of them were adults waiting for their children, or servants from wealthy families waiting for their masters. It was rare to see a child as young as Jiaojiao waiting.
The people outside the examination hall saw him waiting for three days in a row, without missing a single exam, and the person he was waiting for was his own father. While they were surprised, they also thought to themselves that this kid was raised so well. They wondered if he had any secrets.
"Jiaojiao, what are you looking at?" Qin Mianmian swallowed the bun in her mouth and asked curiously about Jiaojiao who was squatting beside her.
Jiaojiao had been staring at the corner over there for a quarter of an hour, and he himself looked at it for a long time, but saw nothing.
"There's a man over there, he's dirty and has a lot of wounds on his body." Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose and lowered her head to take a bite of the bun in her hand.
"How do you know?"
"Jiaojiao saw it."
Qin Mianmian looked over there again, but still saw nothing. He frowned unconsciously. Jiaojiao had been with him these days. When did he go to see her?
Thinking of this, he asked, "When did you go to see it?"
Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a while, then blinked, then reached out and scratched her face, and finally stood there in a daze.
Jiaojiao, who really couldn't remember, shook her head honestly: "Jiaojiao doesn't know either."
Qin Mianmian didn't care when she saw that he couldn't remember. She reached out and touched Jiaojiao's head and continued to eat the bun in her hand. She guessed that Jiaojiao saw it in a dream, but was still young, so she confused the dream with reality.
Confusing dreams and reality seems to be a unique skill of children. Four-year-old Qin Mianmian once did this.
He still remembered the time he dreamed he'd beaten his father to a pulp at chess. Upon waking, he took it seriously. He went to show off to his mother, only to run into his father there. As a result, his father dragged him into a day-long chess game, profoundly teaching him the difference between dreams and reality. After that, he rarely went a full ten days without playing chess, and he never confused reality with dreams again.
The sun gradually moved westward. Jiaojiao, whose legs were numb from squatting, heard the sound of the gantry opening with a "creak". She quickly stood up by supporting herself on the ground and ran to the front with Qin Mianmian in her arms.
There were more than 700 candidates this year, so it was inevitably crowded when they came out. But despite this, the candidates who were already exhausted from the exam still tried their best to stay away from Yin Zheng.
Although this person was just walking in silence and didn't show any negative emotions, one could always feel that his already oppressive aura had become even more violent, like a vicious tiger suppressing its anger, full of wildness and strength, yet extremely dangerous.
The students came out one after another. Looking around, all they could see was a crowd of people. However, Jiaojiao, who was three heads tall, saw her father the first time. She quickly stood on tiptoe, waved her little paws, and shouted, "Daddy!"
The child's voice was tender and soft. People who heard the voice not far away turned their heads to look. When they saw that it was a three-headed child dressed like a little dumpling, they couldn't help but feel soft in their hearts.
This little kid is so cute, I guess his father must be a handsome and elegant man!
Yin Zheng, who heard the voice in the crowd, raised his eyes and locked his eyes on Jiaojiao. He took a few steps forward and walked out of the crowd. He bent down and grabbed Jiaojiao into his arms.
People who noticed this scene were all surprised. Not only was the kid's father not as handsome and elegant as they had imagined, but he was actually such a tall man who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with?
The moment he hugged Jiaojiao, Yin Zheng's aura visibly eased. Although he still looked formidable, he did not give people a sense of crisis that was too strong, or even arouse people's instinctive defense.
Seeing this, the surprise in the hearts of those who couldn't help but focus their attention on this incompatible father and son faded away. From this perspective, this father and son were not so incompatible after all.
Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she fell into her father's arms. She lowered her head, took out pine nuts from her pocket, and handed them to her father: "Daddy, eat them."
This pine nut candy was sent by Xie Shuyu. It replaced the malt candy in Jiaojiao's heart and became the most delicious candy in his heart. He rarely ate it and would only eat one every two days.
He only ate one pill every two days, and when he ate, he would not forget to give one to Qin Mianmian. But he gave one pill to his father every day, and sometimes he would give a few more pills when he saw that his father was working hard.
Qin Mianmian, who had never missed her parents so much before, even started to wonder if she was really thrown out by her parents?!
Yin Zheng lowered his head and took a bite of the bright candy, then rubbed his furry head. He was thinking about going to the pastry shop in the county town to see if he could buy some pine nut candy.
Jiaojiao likes this pine nut candy, and Yin Zheng has long wanted to buy more for him, but unfortunately there is none in the town. The last time he came to the county town, he didn’t see any pastry shop selling pine nut candy.
"Dad, Jiaojiao, come down!"
When passing a corner, Jiaojiao suddenly asked his father to put him down.
Yin Zheng put him down as he was told. Jiaojiao stuck her head out to look at the alley, then pulled her father's trouser leg and walked towards the corner of the alley.
Although Yin Zheng didn't understand why, he still followed Jiaojiao forward.
Qin Mianmian, who knew why Jiaojiao did this, shook her head, sighed in her heart and followed. On the way, she couldn't help but recall the time when she took the dream seriously and ran to her mother to show off that her father couldn't beat her in chess. In the end, she was beaten by her father on the chessboard and didn't want to touch chess anymore.
It seems that I need to have a good talk with Jiaojiao later about the difference between this dream and reality, so that I won’t get confused that day.
Qin Mianmian was thinking this as she turned the corner with Jiaojiao. She saw a person curled up in the corner from afar and stopped in surprise.
Is there really a person here?!
The weather in early spring was no better than that in winter. Shi'an huddled in a corner, pulling the rags that barely covered his body tightly together, trying to isolate himself from the biting cold. Although he was used to the pain, the sores on his body that festered when exposed to the cold still made the pain unbearable.
His pair of gray eyes fell unfocused on the air, and he didn't care when he heard someone coming. In fact, for him at this moment, death was much simpler and more pleasant than living.
But deep down in his heart, he still longed to live, more than anyone else!
The pain spread from the poison attached to the bones, like a fine knife mercilessly cutting the flesh, as if with a deep hatred, wanting to scrape the host into a bloody mess.
Shi'an endured the pain, the skin on his face trembled slightly, his limbs began to spasm physiologically, a lot of cold sweat seeped from his forehead and back, and his face with large areas of burns was terribly pale.
The skin and flesh on his body began to tear apart, vividly illustrating what it meant to be torn apart.
The blood will flow out of the torn flesh only after it has healed for a while. This is because the injured part has bled too much and been injured too many times, so the blood will flow out more slowly when it is injured again.
The pain of his skin and flesh being torn apart from the inside out almost made Shi'an grit his teeth, and his limbs were cramping in pain, making him unable to clench his fists.
When he was in a trance due to the pain, he suddenly felt his fingers touching something warm, and then something was stuffed into his hand.
The pain was so severe that he could hardly even open his eyelids. He lowered his eyes to look, but could only see a blurry shadow and nothing else.
Unable to see clearly, he endured the pain and lowered his head to sniff, then rubbed it twice with his hands. He identified two copper coins among them, but he couldn't recognize the other one.
After thinking for a while, he put the thing in his hand into his mouth, trying to identify what it was through taste. As soon as he took a bite, he was stunned. It seemed to be... sugar...
Sweetness spread from his mouth, and he subconsciously raised his head. In his unclear vision, he saw a blurry little figure pulling at the trouser leg of an adult and staggering away.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Shi'an felt that the pain in his body was not as severe anymore.
He clenched the two copper coins in his hand, suddenly stood up with the help of the wall, and moved his feet full of wounds, staggering forward.
After coming out of the alley, Qin Mianmian was still puzzled. Jiaojiao had been with him these days, and he was sure that they had never seen the little beggar who was huddled in the corner, with horrible sores all over his body and looked only ten years old.
"Jiaojiao, have you really seen that little beggar?" He asked without hesitation because he couldn't figure it out.
Jiaojiao, who was in her father's arms, nodded: "I have seen it."
"When did you see it?"
Jiaojiao shook her head blankly: "I don't know."
"Then how did you see him?"
"have no idea!"
Jiaojiao didn't know when she saw it or how she saw it, but she just saw it.
There were many beggars on the street. Jiaojiao didn't know what beggars meant. She just saw that the man was bleeding and must be in pain, so she went up to him, gave him money and asked him to buy medicine. Before leaving, she hesitated for a while, but still took a candy from her pocket and gave it to him. He was injured and it hurt, and eating a candy would make the pain less severe.
When Yin Zheng heard the conversation between Qin Mianmian and Jiaojiao, his footsteps paused slightly. There were some inexplicable strange phenomena on Jiaojiao's body.
He instinctively felt that it would be bad if someone found out, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, so he could only trust his instincts and be careful not to let others notice.
Yin Zheng poked Jiaojiao's chubby face. It was impossible to lock such a little Fuwa in the house all day long, so he could only keep him within his sight and watch over him at all times.
Thinking about Yin Zheng taking Jiaojiao to visit the pastry and fruit shops in the county town to see if there were any pine nut candies for sale. The first two shops didn't have any, but they were lucky enough to buy some at the third shop, but the taste was much worse than the one Xie Shuyu sent.
It would take nearly half a month for the county exam results to come out. Yin Zheng had no plans to wait for the results in the county town, and was planning to take Jiaojiao and the others back to Lijia Village early tomorrow morning.
That night, a ragged and blood-stained figure squatted outside the inn where Jiaojiao and the others were staying.
The next morning, after breakfast, Jiaojiao was carried out of the inn by his father. When leaving, he subconsciously looked back at the alley next to the inn.
On the way back, they took an ox cart. Originally, Yin Zheng was planning to hire a horse carriage, but he was stopped by Old Wang, who scolded Yin Zheng for quarter of an hour for not knowing how to live.
Outside the city, on their way back, a staggering figure was following the ox cart from a distance. The figure walked very slowly and stumbled, and his feet were covered in blood from being rubbed by the stones on the road.
Shi'an's eyes were damaged and he could only vaguely see figures. As long as he was beyond a certain distance, he could not see anything.
He lost Jiaojiao and the others early yesterday. With no other options, he kept walking in the county town. Later, he was lucky enough to meet them again, but before he could get close, Jiaojiao and the others entered the inn. He wanted to go in, but as soon as he approached, he was impatiently chased away by the waiter, so he could only wait outside.
He woke up early today, but was pinned down in an alley and beaten by two beggars. When he got up again, they were unable to catch up with him.
Shi'an clenched the two copper coins in his hand and chased forward with all his might.
But unfortunately, he didn't catch up.
The ox cart gradually disappeared from his sight, and he looked around blankly but could no longer find it!
Yin Zheng passed the county examination. When the yamen runner came to deliver the good news, he was hunting in the mountains with Jiaojiao, Qin Mianmian and Youyou. The good news was received by the village chief who heard the news and came over to help receive it. He also gave the yamen runner fifty cents as a gift.
Yin Zheng passed the county exam!
This was something that the villagers could never have imagined. You have to know that Yin Youcai took the exam for the title of Tongsheng three times. Could it be that Yin Zheng was more talented in studying than Yin Youcai?
Old Mrs. Wu, who was already furious because Yin Zheng had passed the county exam, spat back at him: "Bah! There were a total of fifty places, and Yin Zheng only got forty-ninth. Youcai was in the top three back then, and he's still comparing himself to Youcai. Maybe he just got lucky and landed on the tail end of the stick. He hasn't even passed the prefectural exam yet. How can he be considered a student? I don't believe he can get lucky and pass the prefectural exam!"
"Aunt Wu, we villagers don't understand what you mean by county exam and prefectural exam, but I remember you and Brother Yin said that if Yin Zheng passed the county exam, you and Brother Yin would recognize him as your father. Does that still count?" someone asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around started laughing, and Old Mrs. Wu was even more furious, but it was indeed she who said this in the first place. She couldn't find any words to say back, so she could only go back in anger and hatred, and didn't bother to cause trouble for Yin Zheng.
After Yin Zheng came down from the mountain and heard the news, he sent the fifty-cent gift to the village chief's house and picked up a rabbit to thank the village chief for his help. If the village chief had not stepped forward, Old Wu might have deliberately offended the yamen runner so that he could get away with it.
Zhao also gave birth two days ago, a chubby son. Now old Wang had three big fat grandsons at once, which made her very happy. When she saw Jiaojiao, her face was full of smiles, and she quickly asked him to come and see his younger brothers.
Jiaojiao was also curious about the three younger brothers. She watched them for a while and then left with her father.
After the county examination, it was the prefectural examination. Before going to the prefectural city, Yin Zheng went to the town and found Zhang Xiucai.
Mr. Zhang has a bedridden widowed mother and two sons. Apart from his stipend and the money earned from his private school, the family has no extra income, so he is a bit greedy for money, but other than that, he does not have any major shortcomings.
It was because Yin Zheng knew all this that he came to him. Several scholars in the town did not like him because of his appearance, so he could only use money to open the door to Zhang Xiucai and make up for his lack of knowledge before the provincial examination to increase his chances of passing the exam.
Mr. Zhang was reluctant at first, but what he offered was really too much.
Because he gave so much, Zhang Xiucai tacitly agreed that Yin Zheng would bring Jiaojiao and Qin Mianmian with him every time he came.
Zhang Xiucai's mother and wife both liked Jiaojiao very much. Not only did they think about Jiaojiao all day long, but every time Jiaojiao came, they would prepare some of their signature dishes that took a lot of time. This made Zhang Xiucai feel jealous because he thought it was too troublesome every time he wanted to eat them.
That day, when Jiaojiao and Qin Mianmian just came out of Zhang Xiucai's house, a figure suddenly rushed towards Jiaojiao from the corner.
The figure came so fast that it flew backwards without even stopping before touching Jiaojiao.
Shi'an, who was nearly killed by Yin Zheng's kick in the chest, fell to the ground and slid two meters away. He lay on the ground, vomiting blood. The bright red blood dyed his entire chest red. Curled up in pain, he clenched the thing in his hand and handed it to Jiaojiao intermittently: "Here... here you go..."
Yin Zheng frowned slightly, realizing that he might have misunderstood something. He walked forward, squatted down, and saw that he was holding two copper coins in his hand.
Shi'an clenched the two copper coins in his hand, with fear undisguised in his eyes, but he still raised his hand with great effort and handed it to Jiaojiao: "...Here you go..."
Shi'an was so frightened that his heart was trembling, but he still tried his best to move closer to Jiaojiao.
In fact, Shi'an did it on purpose. He suddenly approached Jiaojiao on purpose and then got kicked on purpose. His purpose was to blackmail Jiaojiao.
He discovered half a month ago when he was in the county town that this adult, whose ferocious aura could be sensed from afar, was very doting on and worried about his child.
Most children of this age don't have money, let alone give two cents to a smelly beggar. Only families who dote on their children would allow them to do this.
So after wandering around this town for ten days and luckily meeting them again, Shi'an rushed towards the child almost without hesitation.
When most people see someone suddenly rushing towards their children like this, their instinct to protect their children will make them subconsciously attack him so that he can blackmail them.
But he didn't expect that this man would hit him so hard, and one kick almost took his life.
Thinking of this, Shi'an's fingertips trembled uncontrollably.
If you ask him why he's so desperate to blackmail this child, it's because as long as he's close to this child, as long as he can see him, the poison in his body will be less active, and he can get some respite from the endless pain of his flesh being ripped apart.
He lowered his head and clenched the two copper coins in his hand. He wanted... wanted to live...
The insect was getting closer and closer to his heart.
He knew it was wrong, so he was afraid, but if he didn't do this... he would die...
Jiaojiao let go of Qin Mianmian's hand and walked forward. He looked up at his father before squatting down. He tilted his head and looked at the man in front of him curiously, then reached out and took a bloody copper coin from his hand.
After Jiaojiao took a look, she held it up to show her father: "Jiaojiao."
After hearing Jiaojiao say this, Yin Zheng remembered the little beggar in the alley in Jiayang County that day.
Shi'an finally succeeded in blackmailing Jiaojiao, at the cost of having three ribs broken by Yin Zheng.
The provincial examination requires going to Xingzhou Prefecture. The journey to Xingzhou Prefecture is long, and it is the busy farming season, so it is not convenient to ask Old Wang and the village chief to go with them to take care of Jiaojiao. Therefore, Yin Zheng set his sights on Zhang Xiucai, who was going to go to the provincial capital with him to act as a guarantor.
Shi'an's injuries had not healed yet, but he still followed to the provincial capital. In fact, he could also take care of Jiaojiao, but since he saw that Jiaojiao was only ten years old, Yin Zheng was not at ease with him, so in the end this task fell on Zhang Xiucai.
Zhang Xiucai: “……?”
Finally, Mr. Zhang compromised and agreed to help look after Jiaojiao and Qin Mianmian during the days when Yin Zheng was taking the provincial examination.
To be on the safe side, Yin Zheng took Jiaojiao and the others to Xingzhou Prefecture ten days in advance. After arriving at Xingzhou Prefecture, he almost never went downstairs except for eating. He spent every minute reading books or asking Zhang Xiucai about some policy papers.
Seeing her father nervous, Jiaojiao became nervous too. Except for eating, she stayed in the room with her father. Yin Zheng wanted to let him go out and play, but was afraid that something might happen to him when he was not around, so he had no choice but to suppress this idea.
On April 26th, Jiaojiao seemed to have installed some kind of radar. The moment Yin Zheng got up quietly, he sat up from the bed in a daze, looking at Yin Zheng eagerly as he was about to take him to the examination room.
Yin Zheng had no choice but to compromise and put Jiaojiao's clothes on, then carried him downstairs to have breakfast.
At the hour of Chou, candidates taking part in the provincial examination left the inn carrying their examination baskets and headed towards the examination hall.
It would take ten days for the results of the prefectural examination to be announced. This time, Yin Zheng did not leave the day after the county examination as he did. Instead, he took Jiaojiao to wander around the prefectural city for a few days. They tried many delicacies that were not available in the county city and bought a lot of delicious pine nut candies, lotus seed candies, preserved fruit candies, almond cakes, pineapple cakes, etc. Jiaojiao was so happy that her eyes were curved the whole day.
When the food was being distributed, Shi'an didn't expect that he got some too. When he looked down at the two pineapple cakes, two almond cakes, three lotus seed candies and one pine nut candy in his hands, he was a little dazed.
Shian rarely...or never eats sweets.
He was poisoned by his family when he was born, and was sent to a place and imprisoned for three years when he was three years old. He finally escaped from the raging fire and began a life of begging.
The existence of the poison made him almost count the days, but he still wanted to live. Even though it was painful, he just wanted to live...
Although he didn't understand why he was so determined to live.
"Ten An Eat."
Seeing that he didn't move, Jiaojiao stood on tiptoe, held his fingers, and slowly pulled his outstretched hand back, as if she was afraid that the candies and pastries in his palm would accidentally fall out.
Shi'an, whose fingers were being held, suddenly pulled his hand back as if burned. He then wolfed down the pastry in Jiaojiao's doubtful eyes. At the end, he quietly hid the pine nut candy and didn't eat it.
When the results of the provincial examination came out, Yin Zheng's name was prominently on the list. Although it was still hanging on the tip of the list, the fact was that he had passed the provincial examination, became a student, and was qualified to participate in the academy examination.
The college entrance examination was in August. After Yin Zheng brought Jiaojiao and the others back to Lijia Village, he immediately began to prepare for the examination.
After the news that Yin Zheng passed the examination and became a Tongsheng spread, the villagers almost trampled down Yin Zheng's doorstep. There was even a matchmaker who came to propose marriage, saying that the girl didn't mind the scar on his face, and the only requirement was that Jiaojiao and Qin Mianmian be sent away, for fear that they would bully his biological son in the future.
Before the matchmaker could finish her words, she was chased out by Yin Zheng.
The matchmaker was so angry that she went out and spread some rumors that Yin Zheng had a bad temper and liked to beat people. These rumors scared the other girls who wanted to marry Yin Zheng after he passed the imperial examination and made them give up the idea.
Jiaojiao was sulking the whole day after hearing someone say bad things about her father. Just when Shi'an saw that Jiaojiao was angry and was planning to secretly deal with the matchmaker, the matchmaker fell down and not only lost two front teeth, but also broke her leg.
Xie Shuyu from the capital calculated the time and wrote a letter to Yin Zheng, explaining in detail the policy essays, the interpretation of the classics, and miscellaneous essays. He also found out who the examiner for the academy exam was: Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites.
Finally, Xie Shuyu explained to Yin Zheng in detail the writing style that Lord Wang liked, and also wrote a few articles that Lord Wang liked for him to refer to.
In addition to these, he also sent Jiaojiao's small book box.
Jiaojiao was so happy to get the little bookcase. She carried it on her back all day during the first few days and was reluctant to put it down. Her walking posture was different when she carried it on her back, and her little butt was so cute as it twisted around.
For this reason, Jiaojiao even wrote a letter to Xie Shuyu, which began with "Hello Uncle Huaizhi, Uncle Huaizhi, have you eaten yet? Jiaojiao eats every day. Daddy said Jiaojiao has grown a little finger taller. Jiaojiao likes Uncle Huaizhi's little bookcase. Hello Uncle Huaizhi, Jiaojiao likes Uncle Huaizhi."
She continued to mutter incessantly, and each sentence ended with "Hello, Uncle Huaizhi, Jiaojiao likes Uncle Huaizhi." In the end, she even made a small paw print on the back of the letter to show him her chubby little hands.
Xie Shuyu, who received the letter, smiled. He stared at the small paw print on the back of the letter for a long time, and compared it with his own hand in a rare childish way. After sighing that it was so small, he folded the letter and put it in the box.
During the period of preparing for the imperial examination, Yin Zheng would often take Jiaojiao and the others to the mountains to hunt. After all, the imperial examination was very expensive.
Yin Zheng now has a total of 150 taels in his hand, which can still last for a long time, but his purpose of taking the imperial examination is to take Jiaojiao to a safe place, so of course he has to save as much money as possible before that.
Yin Zheng would carefully check the places where Jiaojiao, Qin Mianmian, Shi'an and Youyou were on the mountain before spreading medicine to repel mosquitoes, insects, snakes and ants.
In fact, with Yoyo, there is no need to be so careful. After raising it for almost a year, it is now much bigger than the cows in the village, and when standing, it is almost as tall as Yin Zheng.
Although elk are much larger than ordinary deer, it is rare to see one this big before reaching adulthood. With its size, it can kill anyone unless it encounters a pack of wolves.
The white deer, and a huge one at that, would shock people when it appeared before their eyes, and people would mistakenly think they had met a god. Many people in the village called it the divine deer, and even naturally attributed the credit for the sudden appearance of wild vegetables after the locust plague to it.
Jiaojiao on the mountain is not idle like before. Knowing that ginseng can be sold for a lot of money, he is squatting on the ground and concentrating on looking for ginseng.
Ginseng is not that easy to find!
Although he thought so, Shi'an didn't say it out loud, but accompanied Jiaojiao to look for it.
When they were about to go down the mountain, Jiaojiao actually found three or four ginsengs in the area circled by Yin Zheng.
Shi'an was shocked when he saw this kind of thing for the first time, but Qin Mianmian, who had long been accustomed to it, was so calm that there was no ripple in her heart.
Jiaojiao, he's a guy who can pick up money on the street. For him, luck can't be considered normal.
On August 1st, Yin Zheng took Jiaojiao and the others to Xingzhou Prefecture again. On the way, they met Yin Youcai, who smiled at them very gently.
On August 16th, at the hour of Mao, the candidates began to line up and enter the examination hall one by one. There were nearly two thousand people participating in this examination. In order not to delay the entry, the government opened three gates.
Then he was searched again, the student sang a guarantor, took the examination card and entered the dormitory.
Yin Zheng entered the cell which was extremely cramped compared to his body size.
First day of examination...
On the second day, Mo Yi...
Day 3 Essays…
Day 4 Policy Discussion...
Yin Zheng was stunned when he saw the policy essay questions. Before the college entrance examination, Xie Shuyu had written letters to predict policy essay questions. He wrote five in total. Unexpectedly, he actually got one of them right.
It really feels like picking up some silver coins on the street!
Thinking of this, Yin Zheng calmed down and started answering the questions.
This section describes the three gong strikes in the examination room, reminding the candidates that there is only one hour left.
Yin Zheng checked the policy questions and then began to write the essay question that troubled him the most.
On September 16, when the officials who brought the good news left Lijia Village one after another, the people in Lijia Village had not yet recovered from their shock. It was probably because Yin Youcai and Yin Zheng both passed the examination and became scholars.
How could the villagers of Lijia Village not be shocked when two scholars emerged in the village at the same time? They were scholars!
Yin Youcai ranked 25th and Yin Zheng ranked 33rd. This time, because Xie Shuyu guessed the strategy question, Yin Zheng finally didn't have to be the last one.
Yin Zheng knew that with his current accumulation, he would definitely not be able to pass the provincial examination. Even Xie Shuyu wrote to persuade him, but he did not take the exam and planned to wait for two years.
In order to increase his chances, he planned to take Jiaojiao and the others to the county town and see if they could enter Qingshan Academy.
But in the two months before leaving, he tried his best to accumulate more money.
I was going to write about the map change, but my fingers are hurting from typing, so I can only write here. Today is a two-in-one, so I can take another day off~
