Chapter 169 Worry
Fang Ziheng hurriedly comforted Xu Qingmeng: "Don't worry, with Brother Gu's talent, how could he do such a thing? Doesn't Madam Gu believe in Brother Gu's character?"
Xu Qingmeng shook her head and did not tell Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang the reason.
Until most of the people in the examination room had left, with only a few people left, Yun Yi and the others did not come out.
Now not only Xu Qingmeng was worried, but Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang's expressions also became serious.
As the crowd dwindled, Hui Niang spotted Sun Jingyi, who was standing not far away, waiting at the gate of the courtyard with the same anxious look on her face as Xu Qingmeng.
As if she had noticed Hui Niang's gaze, Sun Jingyi turned her head and saw Xu Qingmeng and others, but she did not come over. She just nodded and then looked into the examination room.
Fortunately, after a while, Xu Qingzhong saw the figure that had made her worried for a long time.
At the same time, I also saw Zhou Yuanjia and Huang Boyang. The three of them came out together, talking and laughing, looking very excited. They really had no idea how anxious the people waiting outside were.
Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally they came out." Then he looked at Xu Qingmeng beside him and said with a smile, "I knew it, how could it be them? They are all talented and would never bother to do such opportunistic tricks."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Isn't it because I care too much? I'm just overthinking."
"Dream girl."
"Brother Fang, Sister-in-law Fang, Sister-in-law Gu."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
The three of them walked out hand in hand, and saw the people who were waiting anxiously. They greeted them and hurried over.
Gu Yunyi's eyes fell on Xu Qingmeng, and he walked towards her consciously, and whispered, "Madam, I've been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, whether you are tired or not."
"I'm not tired. Eating so many delicious foods you made in there doesn't make me tired at all." Gu Yunyi said.
"Sister-in-law, you are still pregnant, why aren't you in the yard? Besides, we didn't suffer this time because of the delicious food you prepared. We don't have to eat those rotten things anymore. The food is full of soup and it's so comfortable to eat. Naturally, we can sleep well and we don't feel tired at all." Zhou Yuanjia said.
Although the environment of the examination room was relatively poor, it was much better this time because of what Xu Qingmeng had prepared. During the last provincial examination, Gu Yunyi was the one he envied.
"That's good. Go back and wash up first and change your clothes. I bought a lot of food this morning. I'll make you a good meal tonight. Eat more."
"That's great, Madam Gu, can I go and have a meal with you?" Huang Boyang popped his head out as soon as he heard there was something delicious to eat.
Hui Niang said quickly, "Yes, of course. Meng Niang has prepared a lot. She even made mooncakes early in the morning and is waiting for you to come back."
"What are you waiting for? Come on, go back and eat mooncakes."
Everyone was talking and laughing, it was very lively, but Sun Jingyi standing aside felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Sun Jingyi hurried over and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment."
Gu Yunyi had just managed to hold his wife's hand when he was stopped by someone. He turned around and saw that it was Sun Jingyi. He looked even worse.
Zhou Yuanjia, Huang Boyang and others also looked over.
"Madam Jiang." Gu Yunyi nodded calmly, and then without waiting for the other party to speak, he said: "Mr. Jiang will probably be out soon, you just wait a little longer."
Sun Jingyi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. As long as nothing happened, it would be fine if she came out later.
"Please tell me, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yunyi nodded, took Xu Qingmeng and everyone else's hand and left.
After a while, everyone left and disappeared.
Sun Jingyi was watching from behind and was angry again. After all, they had come here together before. Jiang Mingyu and that Gu Yunyi were still good friends?
As a result, Jiang Mingyu hadn't come out yet, but the group of people happily made an appointment to go back for dinner, and didn't even bother to stay and wait together. What kind of people are they?
However, this was only what Sun Jingyi thought in her own mind. No one else knew about it, leaving her alone to sulk.
As soon as everyone arrived in the yard, the smile on Fang Ziheng's face disappeared.
He turned his head and asked, "You came out so late, is it because of the three people who were caught cheating in the exam in Yan County?"
Gu Yunyi and the other two looked at each other and said, "You all know?"
"Qizhi, I heard about this right after I left the examination room. I'm afraid the whole city knows about this. We were quite worried because you didn't come out before. Fortunately, you came out safely."
Huang Boyang sat directly on the stone bench in the yard and said, "Actually, this matter has something to do with us, but it's not a big deal. It's just quite disgusting."
"What's going on? Where did this come from?" Fang Ziheng asked. Xu Qingmeng came over with the prepared fresh meat mooncakes and listened attentively with everyone else.
Huang Boyang picked up a mooncake and took a big bite. He sighed for a moment before putting away his playful expression and said, "After the results of the provincial examination were announced, my father took me to visit many famous scholars. I learned that the chief examiner of this year was a provincial education commissioner, so I spent a lot of money to find someone to predict the questions."
This is a very common thing. The academic officials who set the questions are different, and their question styles and personal preferences are very different.
Anyone who has some financial resources at home will do the same. It has basically become a routine. Even candidates taking exams will make more preparations according to the style that the examiner likes.
This has apparently become an unwritten rule.
"My father asked someone to guess the topic. Not only my father and I have seen it, but also Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, Brother Jiang, and Brother Fang. You have also seen it, right?"
Fang Ziheng nodded. Huang Boyang was not the kind of person who would be stingy with these things. Besides, this might not necessarily help him guess the answer to the question.
And they don't just have this in their hands, they also have the questions predicted by scholars from various counties. Anyone who has reviewed the lessons together knows the same and can share the same knowledge with each other.
"Originally, only a few of us knew about it, but in the end, I don't know who else Brother Jiang told. Originally, it was nothing serious."
"Who knows? Some people with bad intentions, when they heard that it was done by the county magistrate's son, they thought it must be correct. With such a misunderstanding, wouldn't that cause some trouble?"
Huang Boyang was also quite depressed when talking about this.
After listening to this, Xu Qingmeng was silent for a while, looked at the people in front of him in confusion, and asked: "But even if they memorized these test questions, how could they be found out? And the students who came out said they had cheated, what's going on?"
As soon as Xu Qingmeng asked this question, Gu Yunyi and the other two looked at each other, their expressions very subtle.
