205, the last game
After sleeping in the Imperial Examination Hall for another night, it was time for the last day of the exam.
Because he was worried about the exam, Lu Mingfei woke up in the middle of the night.
After waking up this time, he did not continue to sleep. Instead, he got up, lit a candle, washed his face with hot water in the pot, and ate something simple to fill his stomach. Then he took out the inkstone, pen, ink, and paper, and began to answer the questions by the light of the candle.
When the people around him rustled together and started getting up, he had already finished the first draft of his policy paper.
After writing the first draft, he revised and checked it twice more.
For the last time, after making sure that there were no problems with the policy essay he wrote, Lu Mingfei took the ink stick to grind the ink, dipped the brush in the ink, and began to copy the answers on the original paper.
He had practiced calligraphy for more than ten years before coming into this world, and his calligraphy skills came in handy in this exam.
“Crackle—”
The rain was still falling outside, and there were crackling thunder sounds.
The light on rainy days was not very good, but luckily he had saved candles for the past two days, so when others had no candles left, he had barely used any of the candles he had.
The candles lit on the table provided enough light for him to answer the questions.
The temperature in the examination room dropped sharply in the past two days. When Lu Mingfei was sitting in the dormitory answering the papers, he could feel the wind blowing across his face.
Fortunately, his mother sewed gloves for him every year. This time, he brought a pair of fingerless gloves to the exam. Wearing gloves helped his fingers stay less stiff while writing, which didn't affect his writing.
There were also candidates being carried out of the examination room that day, but he no longer had the time to pay attention to other people's affairs.
After having a simple meal at noon and going to the toilet, he sat back in his seat and continued to answer the questions against the clock.
Finally, there are three arithmetic problems.
These three math problems might be difficult for others, but they weren't too difficult for Lu Mingfei. So it didn't take him long to figure them out and copy the answers onto the exam paper.
When the gong sounded at the hour of Shen, Lu Mingfei had already answered all the questions and copied the answers onto the main paper for the final check.
However, after the examination, he did not leave early.
Instead, he packed up and organized his things first, and then continued to wait here.
He waited until the bell rang again to signal the end of the exam, and when the examiner started shouting that the exam was over and the candidates had to hand in their papers, and asked all candidates to stop writing, he put the finished paper and the draft on the table and waited for someone to come down to collect the papers.
However, not all candidates can finish the test paper on time.
At this time, he also heard a nearby candidate asking the person who collected the paper, "I'm almost done, let me finish it."
Lu Mingfei was in his own cell and could not see the situation in the nearby cells, but just by listening to the sounds, he could probably guess what was going on.
After his papers were taken away, soldiers came over and opened the door of their cell.
After the door of his cell was opened, Lu Mingfei picked up his bag and two baskets and followed the departing team out.
After going outside, I found that it was still raining.
There was no one in the examination room taking the exam, and some people came in with umbrellas.
So when leaving, all the candidates lined up in the rain at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
Seeing that it was raining outside, Lu Mingfei was no longer in a hurry to go outside and get wet, so he found a place to shelter from the rain and stood there waiting.
With a loud bang, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened from the inside.
The candidates who were queuing up began to leave one after another.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei met Zhang Lingxuan. The two looked at each other and moved closer to each other.
"Let's go out first."
"Um."
The two people came together tacitly without much communication.
Fortunately, the rain is not too heavy now, otherwise these candidates will be soaked to the skin when they come out.
As soon as he walked out the door, Lu Mingfei saw his father and Zhang Qi waiting for him outside. His father held an umbrella over his head to block the rain from his face.
Lu Youtian held up the umbrella with one hand and took the bag from his eldest son's back with the other. "Let's go, our carriage is over there."
"Young Master Zhang, please take this umbrella." Zhang Qi opened the umbrella in his hand and handed it to Young Master Zhang, then took the basket from his elder brother.
The bag on his back and the things in his hands were taken away, and Lu Mingfei felt a lot more relaxed instantly.
At this time, the servants of the Zhang and Ye families came together, and the servant of the Zhang family took the things from their young master.
Seeing Ye Zhuoran's servant here, but not seeing Ye Zhuoran here, Zhang Lingxuan asked the Ye family's servant: "Is your young master not coming out yet?"
"Our young master hasn't come out yet, Young Master Zhang. Haven't you seen our young master either?" asked the servant of the Ye family anxiously.
Zhang Lingxuan looked back at the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall gate and felt a little worried.
"Young Master, let's go wait over there by the carriage. Maybe Young Master Ye will come out soon." The servant of the Zhang family was afraid that their young master would get sick from the rain, so he reminded him.
Zhang Lingxuan asked the servant to take his things to the carriage, and he and the Ye family servant waited for people at the door.
I waited for a while longer.
First they waited for their senior brother Fu Boming to come out, but Ye Zhuoran still hadn't come out.
"Is Zhuo Ran not out yet?" Lu Mingfei asked his father to wait for him by the carriage, and he came to Zhang Lingxuan with an umbrella.
"I haven't seen him yet, and I don't know him..."
Before Zhang Lingxuan could finish his words, he saw Ye Zhuoran appear at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. He almost subconsciously rushed forward and supported the person who was about to fall.
"Zhuo Ran!" At this moment, panic appeared on Zhang Lingxuan's face.
"Zhuoran, how are you?" Lu Mingfei also came over and supported Ye Zhuoran.
"I, I..." Ye Zhuoran looked at the person who was holding him, and his voice was a little weak.
"Master, why are you acting so badly? I hope nothing happens to you." The servant of the Ye family was so scared when he saw that his master looked pale and was about to die that he almost cried.
Ye Zhuoran shook his head. He wanted to force a smile to comfort everyone and say that he was fine, but at this moment he found that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Why are you so hot?" Zhang Lingxuan touched Ye Zhuoran's hand and found that Ye Zhuoran's body temperature was not right. He reached out and touched Ye Zhuoran's forehead, only to find that Ye Zhuoran's forehead was very hot.
Lu Mingfei also touched Ye Zhuoran's forehead and hurriedly said, "Zhuoran has a high fever. Let's take him to the clinic for a check-up." He looked at Ye Zhuoran and felt that his condition was not very good.
They had finally finished the exam, and he didn't want anything to happen to any of them.
"Let's go." Zhang Lingxuan turned his back to Ye Zhuoran and asked everyone to help Ye Zhuoran onto his back.
At this moment, Ye Zhuoran felt that his mind was in a daze and he could not hear clearly what the people around him were saying.
In the end, Lu Mingfei and the servant worked together to carry Ye Zhuoran onto Zhang Lingxuan's back.
"What's wrong with Zhuoran?" asked Fu Boming, who was unaware of the situation.
After several people hurriedly stuffed the unconscious Ye Zhuoran into the carriage, Lu Mingfei turned around and said to their eldest brother, "Zhuoran has a high fever and has fainted. We need to take him to the clinic."
"Big Brother, why don't you go back first? Ling Xuan and I can just take him to the clinic."
"It's okay, I'll go with you." Fu Boming gestured for everyone to get on the carriage and go to the clinic first. At this time, he couldn't go home and ignore his sick junior brother.
Let Zhang Lingxuan take Ye Zhuoran away first. Lu Mingfei came to their own carriage and told his father that Ye Zhuoran was sick.
"Then let's go." Hearing this, Lu Youtian signaled his eldest son to get on the carriage quickly.
Lu Mingfei climbed onto their family's carriage and asked his father to drive the carriage behind Zhang Lingxuan and his friends.
But there were too many carriages and pedestrians on the road at that moment, and their carriage was stuck halfway, unable to move forward or backward.
Lu Mingfei sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out.
Seeing Zhang Lingxuan getting off the carriage in front and dragging the unconscious Ye Zhuoran out, he quickly got off the carriage and asked, "Are you going to carry Zhuoran away?"
"We don't know when this road will be passable. I'll carry him to the clinic." Zhang Lingxuan asked the servant to put the unconscious person on his back.
At this time, Ye Zhuoran had fallen into a coma, and his body was shaking from time to time.
"Then let's go together. I remember there is a clinic nearby. Let's take Zhuoran there." Seeing that Ye Zhuoran was not in good condition, Lu Mingfei hurriedly asked Zhang Lingxuan to carry Ye Zhuoran and follow him.
What Lu Mingfei didn't know at this time was that there was a pair of eyes watching them in the restaurant.
"Go and see what's going on over there." Zhao Lang instructed the servant following him without turning his head.
"Yes." The servant responded, turned around and walked out.
***
The drizzle was drifting in the wind.
On the street, which was jammed with cars and pedestrians, Zhang Lingxuan ran frantically with the unconscious boy on his back. Lu Mingfei led the way and led Zhang Lingxuan to a roadside clinic.
"Doctor, please check him out! He has a high fever and is unconscious."
"Hurry up, put him in there."
Seeing this, the doctor in the clinic had the patient sent to the small bed inside. After putting the patient down, he began to take his pulse.
"He caught a cold and has a high fever and convulsions. I will give him two injections first and then prescribe a prescription." The doctor asked the medicine boy to bring his medicine box, took out the silver needles inside, picked up a silver needle, and inserted it into the hand of the unconscious patient.
Lu Mingfei and Zhang Lingxuan stood aside and watched, both of them frowning.
Fu Boming was the last one to enter the clinic. When he saw the doctor giving Ye Zhuoran an acupuncture, he stood behind and watched without making a sound to disturb him.
After a few injections, Ye Zhuoran slowly woke up.
"He's awake, he's awake, our young master is awake." The servant of the Ye family cried with joy when he saw their young master wake up.
When the doctor saw the patient opened his eyes, he pulled out the silver needle and said to the young students dressed as scholars, "I will prescribe a prescription for you. Take a few doses of the medicine home, boil it and drink it, and you will be fine."
"Thank you, doctor. I'll go get the medicine with you." Lu Mingfei signaled Zhang Lingxuan to take care of Ye Zhuoran here, and he followed the doctor to get the prescription and medicine.
