Chapter 223 Song Yun's exam is over
Since he can't come out in the middle, he will definitely have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in there. So I went to the kitchen to make some dried meat for my fourth brother.
Otherwise, how can we eat cakes every day?
Shen Xia looked at Song Yun and smiled, "Fourth brother, you continue reading! I'll go do something else."
After Shen Xia finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
"what?"
Song Yun was left alone there, disheveled in the wind.
Isn't it better to read a book now?
What does it mean to ask me to continue reading?
Shen Xia went to the kitchen.
I took out a few pounds of lean meat and made it into spiced jerky.
Shen Xia taught the two mothers how to make five-spice dried meat.
Time is still a little tight, as Fourth Brother will probably have to go to the county soon after dinner.
Shen Xia worked hard and finally finished it before Song Yun left.
Shen Xia packed the things.
Give it to Song Yun before he leaves.
"This is for you. You can eat it for the exam tomorrow." Shen Xia handed a large bag of dried meat to Song Yun.
Song Yun looked at the things Shen Xia handed over. It turned out that she had run away in the morning to make food for him.
Song Yun took it: "Yes, thank you."
"Well, I hope Fourth Brother gets what he wants." Shen Xia said to Song Yun to wish him good luck in the exam.
This scholar examination is equivalent to the modern college entrance examination!
When Song Yun heard Shen Xia's wish come true, he raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously: "Okay, I'll borrow your good words."
My eldest brother, second brother, third brother and mother all said a few words of concern and blessing.
Then Song Yun left.
Yan Yi went to see him off in a horse-drawn carriage.
Shen Xia could see that her mother was very worried.
Of course there is no mother who isn’t anxious when her children take exams.
Shen Xia watched her fourth brother leave.
Then he comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. You have to trust Fourth Brother. There will be no problem. Fourth Brother's grades in the academy are already good."
"But he has rested for such a long time, is he okay?" Song's mother looked at Shen Xia and asked.
Shen Xia held Song's mother's hand and said, "Don't worry! Fourth brother will definitely pass the exam and become a scholar."
"hope so!"
After saying that, the two of them returned to the yard.
Shen Xia first sent her mother back to her own yard.
After watching his mother go in, Shen Xia also returned to his own yard to take a nap. He was also very tired after being tired for a long time.
Plus pregnancy, sleepiness.
After waking up, I checked my space and found that the silkworm eggs I asked my father to buy for me had arrived.
The next day, Shen Xia did not come out, so he handed the matter over to his eldest brother, second brother and third brother. They took their third uncle and drove a ox cart to the next village to collect eggs.
The price is also 100 wen per ticket, and each family can only afford one.
Those who don’t have money can owe it first.
Let’s do it one village at a time first.
Everyone was gathered at the village chief's house, where they were first told the rules and requirements, and then they lined up to distribute eggs. Maybe the village chief had told everyone about it in advance, so no one was interested after listening.
It's a bit slow because we have to write a contract.
Only two villages were sent in one day.
It took two and a half days to visit five villages.
When the three brothers came back from sending the goods at noon on the third day.
Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin came back.
It is said that the silkworm cocoons can be harvested.
Song Jin asked Zhi Yi to drive the ox cart to pull the bags, because there were so many bags and he didn't know how many trips it would take to carry the baskets.
Shen Xia looked at the time. As of now, everyone would probably have to collect their money in ten or eight days.
We'll recruit people then.
Shen Xia looked at the time. Today was the day when Song Yun's exam would end.
The third and second brothers went to sort out the contracts.
There was only my eldest brother next to me.
Shen Xia looked at his eldest brother: "Fourth brother's exam is over today, should we go to the door and wait for him?"
After listening to Shen Xia's words, Song Jiang felt that Shen Xia was pregnant and the journey had been too bumpy.
But then I thought, if she wants to go, let her go!
Then he nodded: "Let's go!"
Song's mother also wanted to go. Although she couldn't know the result now, it would be good to pick up her son who had just come out of the examination room.
In this way, the eldest brother took Shen Xia and Song's mother to the county in a carriage.
Although Shen Xiajue's car doesn't shake as much anymore, the road still needs to be repaired after the village is well developed. The distance to the town is not far.
The carriage took an hour and a half, which was almost three hours.
The journey takes three hours by oxcart, but it is faster by horsecart.
Actually, it would be fine if you were riding a horse.
I'm afraid it will only take about an hour to get there.
Arrived at the county.
Because I don’t know where the examination venue is.
So I asked along the way.
Arrived at the gate of Gongyuan.
There are already a lot of people waiting, it seems they are all family members.
Shen Xia did not join the crowd, but waited in the carriage.
Then he watched the door of the Imperial Examination Hall open.
Then walk down with mother.
No one squeezed to the front together.
Because there were too many people in the front, there were not many people in the back.
The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall is high.
As long as someone comes out, they can see Shen Xia at once.
And Shen Xia standing at the back could easily see whether Song Yun came out or not.
Looking at the people coming out of the gate one after another, Song Yun was not among them.
Until a striking figure came out from inside.
This is what the saying goes, even if you are in a huge crowd, you can still see it at a glance.
It’s really because of her good looks.
Shen Gao waved happily from behind: "Fourth Brother——"
In fact, Song Yun saw Shen Xia as soon as he came out. Because everyone was blocking the door, only the three of them were conspicuous in the open space at the back.
I didn't expect that she would be waiting for me after the exam.
And there is mother and elder brother.
In my previous life, I took the exam alone and then returned to the academy.
At this moment, I suddenly felt how happy it was to have someone waiting for me.
Song Yun felt a little happy.
very nice.
Push through the crowd.
Came in front of Shen Xia.
Song's mother looked at her son and said, "How is he? He must be suffering in there."
Song Yun shook his head: "Fortunately, I have to thank Xia Xia for preparing the food for me."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."
Song Jiang patted Song Yun's shoulder gently and said, "Good job, come back with us!"
"Okay, but I have to go back to the academy first and talk to the teacher."
Shen Xia knew that after this kind of exam, she would definitely have to communicate with the teacher, just like when she took the college entrance examination.
Once finished
I haven't called the teacher yet.
The head teacher called and asked about the situation.
Some subject teachers even called to give instructions before the exam.
You must bring all those things with you, don’t forget them. I feel more nervous than my own mother.
"No problem, let's go!" Song Jiang.
Shen Xia saw a constable posting a notice at the door.
Pointing at the gate curiously, "There's a notice posted over there, shouldn't we take a look?"
"No need, that just says the results will be out in a few days." Song Yun explained.
“The results will come out in those few days!”
"Three days. After three days, the number of successful candidates will be announced, and the first place winner will have a government official come to announce the good news."
"Oh."
"Let's go!" Song Yun.
Yan Yi drove the carriage to the gate of Xingchen Academy.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter, so Shen Xia and his companions waited in the carriage at the door.
Fourth brother came out less than half an hour after he went in.
Several people planned to go home together, but Song Yun said that they would go to a bookstore for a while.
Everyone was waiting for him at the door.
He went in empty-handed and came out empty-handed.
Shen Xia was curious about what was going on.
But I didn't ask any more questions.
