Chapter 87 087 The concession is entirely dependent on the support of peers.
On the ninth day of February, the imperial examination officially began.
Wang Yao, who had successfully passed the imperial examination in the autumn of the previous year, took part in this imperial examination. This time, the whole Wang family went out to send him to the exam as usual, but Xianyu didn't have time to accompany him the whole time like last time.
Because she had already returned to the construction site to work on the second day of the second lunar month, when the Dragon raises its head.
The construction schedule of the Medical Museum was very tight, so Master Kang issued a special order, asking the workers to come back early to start work, and even personally issued an imperial decree, stating that he would personally go to the construction site on the second day of February to preside over the resumption of work ceremony.
The second day of the second lunar month is the day when the dragon raises its head. It is one of the most popular dates for many ceremonies to start.
With Master Kang's dedicated supervision, the construction progress of the medical center naturally resumed in full swing.
One of the side effects was that everyone had to go back to work early with him.
Xianyu is one of them.
Originally, she could have waited until her elder brother Wang Yao finished the imperial examination before resuming work, because February 18, three days after February 15, was a good day to start work. The weather was also warm at that time, which was really suitable for resuming work.
Even Xianyu had secretly inquired about it, and found out that other general construction projects in the private sector were originally scheduled to resume work around the end of February or the beginning of March.
Therefore, she always felt that the construction of this medical museum was the same.
It just so happened that she had also promised her adopted elder brother Wang Yao that she would send him to take the imperial examination again when the time came - after all, when it came to major examinations, everyone was more or less superstitious.
Even someone like Wang Yao, who is usually carefree and open-minded, is the same.
Just because Xianyu went to see Wang Yao off to take the provincial examination, which helped him pass, Wang Yao felt that it was his sister Xianyu who brought him good luck and was his lucky star. In addition to becoming more and more brainless with his sister complex, he also had a problem of treating her like a koi fish.
After all, the imperial examination was a national exam. Candidates from all provinces gathered in the capital to take the exam together, which was truly a "gathering of heroes."
After passing the joint examination, one can take part in the palace examination the next month, which will be presided over by Master Kang himself. The ranking at that time will be the rank of Jinshi, which is called "being on the golden list."
The saying “No one cares about your hard work for ten years, but once your name is on the list, everyone will know it” refers to this “getting your name on the list of successful candidates”.
This is the lifelong ideal of all scholars in the world. For any scholar who is preparing to take the imperial examination, it is a very important event.
The same goes for Wang Yao.
Since the beginning of the year, Wang Yao had already begun silently calculating the date of the imperial examination - after all, the imperial examination was usually held in February of the second year after the provincial examination. Although this year was an honor examination, there was no exception and it was still scheduled on the ninth day of February.
However, Wang Yao had to enter the examination room on the eighth day of February - this was also one of the examination requirements for the imperial examination.
Like the provincial examination, this important imperial examination required candidates to enter the examination hall one day in advance and leave the examination hall one day later. Each examination lasted for three days, for a total of nine days.
So, on the eighth day of February, the women of the Wang family got ready early in the morning to send Wang Yao to the examination room.
Xianyu didn't want to participate at first, but she could not resist Wang Yao's strong request - he even said that as long as Xianyu could show up, it would be fine and she didn't have to wait the whole time, but he still had to accompany her on this trip.
Seeing her usually mighty and domineering elder brother looking so pitiful, Xianyu felt both angry and amused.
But I was still soft-hearted.
Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance, so she asked for leave from Master Kang in advance - although she had returned to work, she could still take leave if there was something going on at home.
Master Kang was not an unreasonable person. Besides, he also knew that Xianyu's elder brother Wang Yao was a candidate for the imperial examination, so it was natural for him to want his family to accompany him to the exam.
Besides, Xianyu only said that she would be delayed for a while and didn’t say that she would take a day off, which was good enough.
As long as she is willing to come, it’s good enough. Why would she need a bicycle?
When it comes to Xianyu, Master Kang is very easy to satisfy - or rather, he becomes more and more easy to satisfy as time goes by.
Because Xianyu is really more of a "treasure girl", she can give him new surprises almost every day, and sometimes even scares.
But no matter what, it is much better than the stagnant life before.
Most of the time, he just eats melons. I have to say, as long as the melons are not about him, then eating melons is really a happy time.
In fact, even if it is about himself, it doesn’t matter. There will be no more than two or three people who can hear it anyway. Most of the time, he is the only one who can hear it. It can be said that “family disgrace should not be made public.”
Moreover, sometimes, Xianyu's thoughts contain a lot of useful information - whether it is a prophecy about fate, an oracle about the future, or even some "high-tech" stuff that came from nowhere, they are all excellent.
Love to listen, want to listen.
Be able to speak and speak more.
Moreover, as time went by, Master Kang discovered that he was listening to the voice of the little girl from the Wang family more and more frequently.
According to the rules summarized before, this means that his favorability towards this little girl is becoming more and more solid.
In fact, if Master Kang paid attention to the time period when he heard Xianyu's inner thoughts, he would understand that the situation was not what he thought at all - his favorability in Xianyu's mind was indeed not low, but it was not very high either, and it was not increasing day by day.
Xianyu is no longer at the age of being crazy about something and banging her head against the wall. As a social animal who has been beaten by society for several years, she has long lost her original innocence and dreams.
Work is nothing more than a means to earn some worthless money.
ideal?
Passion?
Doesn't exist?
boss?
There is no possibility of love, only endless tiredness.
Although building a medical school is a very good thing and beneficial to the country and the people, as long as it is a job, it inevitably reminds Xianyu of the fear of being dominated by heavy work in the real world... So, it is still a bit stressful.
So why, under such circumstances, can Master Kang still hear Xianyu's thoughts steadily?
This is mainly because it is all due to the contrast with peers - the favorability of other people present is even lower.
Let’s take a look at the people who are usually present when Master Kang summons Xianyu.
First of all, only one of Lin Ruhai or Zhang Youshi would show up at most, and sometimes even neither of them would show up - the only thing they needed was the construction site of the medical museum.
Zhang Youshi was basically unable to leave. Even when Master Kang personally came to the construction site of the medical center, he was often too busy to even meet the emperor. He could only entrust Lin Ruhai and Xianyu to help him apologize.
In addition to his duties at the medical museum construction site, Lin Ruhai also had duties at the Censorate.
He came back to Beijing this time, not for vacation or to visit relatives, but because he was promoted and had an important position.
After being promoted to Chief Censor of the Censorate, his work was definitely busier than his previous time as the Doctor of Lantai Temple and the Inspector of Salt. What's more, he also had to work part-time on the construction project of the Medical Museum, which made him even busier.
It can be said that in the past six months since returning to the capital, he has rarely been able to go back home. Even if he goes back, he just rests for a while, takes a shower, changes clothes, and then goes out again.
Usually he was either busy with official business at the Censorate or monitoring the progress of the construction site of the Medical Museum. In short, he was busy like a spinning top, which made Jia Min very distressed. Daiyu and her brother also missed him very much because they had not seen him for a long time. Several times, Jia Min brought him to the construction site to visit him. Of course, Lin Ruhai scolded them and sent them back home.
Apart from Lin Ruhai and Zhang Youshi, the only others who accompanied Master Kang were Gao Shiqi and several other university scholars.
Because Xianyu was a "lucky sign" that Master Kang valued, he would summon her to the palace from time to time to tell him about the progress of the construction of the medical center. Therefore, she had more opportunities to see these celebrities around Master Kang, and they became more "disgusted with each other".
After all, as a new generation of youth in the new century, it is normal that she has nothing in common with these pedantic old feudal people.
After several unpleasant encounters, Master Kang no longer dared to keep Gao Shiqi and his friends.
Since neither of them likes the other, there is no point in forcing them to get together. But it is impossible to give up summoning Xianyu, because Xianyu knows too much! He is also an old man with a strong curiosity. He is always more curious than others about supernatural things. Once he catches Xianyu, he keeps asking questions, which makes Xianyu a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Xianyu still has the plug-in System 003, so dealing with Master Kang is no problem, but it is inevitable that she will feel a little tired after a long time.
But even so, Master Kang's favorability with Xianyu did not drop - the main reason was that he gave her too much.
Every time, as long as Master Kang could hear Xianyu's thoughts and obtain useful information from them, he would be very happy and would reward Xianyu with a bunch of things.
Although Xianyu's family already has many things, who would complain about having too many good things?
That definitely won’t happen.
Anyway, Xianyu felt that it was really great to have so many good things.
She liked it very much. Even though she was frequently summoned by Master Kang and asked many strange questions, she didn't think it was a big deal - as long as the money was enough, she could ask anything.
Hahahaha, I am shocked by Master Kang’s generosity every day. As time goes by, Xianyu gradually becomes a wealthy woman.
Although we were not poor before, we are getting even richer now!
This kind of life is really wonderful, and Xianyu has no reason to hate Master Kang.
So the days passed one by one.
Soon, Wang Yao's imperial examination was over.
The main reason was that the imperial examination was not too long, just like the provincial examination, it was only nine days long. Plus, Xianyu was very busy, so time passed even faster.
Anyway, by the time Xianyu reacted, everything was over.
After Wang Yao finished the imperial examination, he lay in bed at home for several days before he recovered. It can be seen that the difficulty of this imperial examination was different from that of the provincial examination. It almost consumed half of his life.
Fortunately, his physical condition was very good and he recovered after a few days of rest.
Xianyu even took a special leave to come back and see him. Seeing his usually tall and big body curled up in a small corner of the bed, she felt that he was both pitiful and ridiculous. She had to accompany him for a few more times before going to the construction site of the medical center to continue working.
By the time of the palace examination in March, the first phase of construction of the Medical Museum had been basically completed.
Yes, the construction of this medical museum was actually divided into several phases.
Xianyu followed the advice of System 003 and divided the construction of the medical center into three phases, just like real estate construction in the modern world.
In the first phase, classrooms and laboratories of the medical building were built.
As for the Chinese herbal medicine planting base, there is no need to build it at all. All you need to do is reclaim the vacant land behind the mountain.
The method used is also the best solution that System 003 has "deeply thought out" - let the students work and study. In this way, there is no need to worry about no one being available, and they can also "learn while working", which is really killing two birds with one stone.
This is System 003 secretly connecting to the host network for a "deep search". Ah, no, it's a method that was thought out, and even Xianyu couldn't help but feel inferior to it.
The effect is also very good.
After Master Kang came over and saw the completion of the first phase of the project, he was very happy. He immediately rewarded everyone generously and then went back happily to preside over the palace examination.
