The next day, he asked the servants to help prepare a food box, and said to Old Cui and Chen: "Grandmother, mother, I have something to do tomorrow, so I need to get up early. I may be out all day and won't be back until very late."
Old Cui was busy learning arithmetic. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go now."
Cui Xian thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you have anything to ask?"
Old Cui said, "No."
Chen teased her daughter while saying, "Be careful. It's okay if you don't come back. Send someone to let them know."
Cui Xian: “…”
Okay.
What he actually wanted to say was, I am going to take the imperial examination anyway, so you guys should take it more seriously!
The child is still young, and maybe he will perform better if he has a parent accompanying him during the exam?
But then I thought, I have lived two lifetimes, and have taken countless exams, big and small, so I might as well go by myself.
So Cui Xian went back to his room and went to bed early.
The next day, before dawn, when everyone in the family was soundly asleep, Cui Xian quietly left home carrying a lunch box and a book box.
In the alley of Funiu.
Pei Jian specially brought a lunch box and a book box, waiting anxiously.
Seeing Cui Xian coming out, he said in surprise: "Brother Xian! I thought you were not going!"
Cui Xian asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Seeing Pei Jian shaking his head, he opened the food box, gave him a few cakes, and said, "I'm going to take the imperial examination, and you can go to the clan school for classes. Brother, you are too ignorant this time. After today, your grandfather and grandmother will definitely punish you."
Pei Jian forced a smile and said, "At worst I'll get beaten up. I'm used to it. Then go and win the first place in the county case for big brother!"
It's amazing to say the least.
At present, it seems that the only one who believes that Cui Xian will definitely make the list is Pei Jian.
Cui Xian smiled at him and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he hurried towards the direction of the county government office.
Pei Jian looked at his receding back and grinned foolishly.
County government office.
It was still dark at this moment, and many candidates were waiting outside the yamen, looking anxious, solemn, or timid.
Among this group of candidates, there are teenagers, young adults, middle-aged people, and even a few gray-haired old men.
But... Cui Xian is still the most conspicuous one.
Because he was too young and too famous.
Even though he had disappeared for half a year, many people still recognized him at a glance.
"Little prodigy! He actually came to take the Tongsheng exam?"
"Aren't you a bit too anxious?"
"Maybe it's just a formality to get used to the examination room in advance."
"Tsk, doesn't that mean we can beat the little prodigy this time?"
"Although this may sound a bit shameless, it is true when you think about it. This is probably the only good opportunity we have in our lifetime. When I go out and brag about it, I can say that I defeated all the child prodigies in the Tongsheng exam, haha."
"Indeed, in a few years, who would dare to say that they are better than the little prodigy? But now... hehe."
After Cui Xian appeared, the tense atmosphere outside the yamen suddenly eased.
Many people stared at him secretly with ill intentions and subtle expressions.
After half a year, Cui Xian's light has dimmed a little.
They feel like they are doing it again.
