Xiao He rented a carriage, thinking it would be faster. Unexpectedly, due to the large number of people and the road congestion, it took nearly half an hour.
After careful calculation, it is not as cost-effective as walking, but if you are tired, you can rest in the carriage.
When he returned to the inn, Wang Jinghui didn't want to say anything more. He went straight to his room, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.
After lying in the cell for two nights, although he didn't sweat much, Ling Yun still felt sticky all over, so he took a hot shower decisively, and then drank a bowl of meat porridge. Unable to resist the sleepiness, Ling Yun finally fell on the bed to relax.
Go to sleep slowly.
His excellent performance in the first game gave Ling Yun great confidence. Subconsciously, he did not worry about the subsequent two exams, so that his sleep quality reached a new level, and he did not sleep until almost ten o'clock the next day.
Suddenly woke up.
Wang Jinghui was just the opposite. When Ling Yun heard Xiao He mention that he got up to study last night, he didn't go back to sleep until early in the morning after having some breakfast.
When Ling Yun heard this, he felt something was wrong. Staying up late during the exam was equivalent to cramming. Regardless of whether it was effective or not, it caused unimaginable pressure on his personal mental state.
But he didn't dare to say it. At this time, saying such words would make people think that he didn't care about others, and would make people think that he was nosy.
The first and second sessions were only one day apart, so the candidates could only get a good night's sleep.
If you don't cherish it, you can only drag your tired body and continue to fight.
Some candidates, because of poor performance in the first game, usually choose to study extra time on the day off. Ling Yun smiled and said nothing about this.
The next two sessions, one on policy questions and the other on poetry, have the same time as the first session.
Ling Yun's method of doing the questions remained unchanged until the last moment, and it felt quite smooth. As for how he did in the exam, only God knows.
If God's will cannot be violated, then what's the harm in doing it again?
Thinking about it this way, Ling Yun's pressure was relieved a lot.
Since ancient times, the success or failure of a hero has been judged whether it is a dragon or a snake. Only by ranking can one know.
But he estimated that, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be on the list at the top of the list. As for the ranking, that could only be left to the evaluators.
At the last moment, the last candidate walked out of the gate, the bronze drum sounded six times in a row, the Gongyuan was closed tightly, and the rural examination was over.
After more than ten days of suffering, the double physical and mental pressure made everyone unable to breathe. Even Ling Yun felt enlightened.
In a dull atmosphere, people with weak tolerance may become depressed or crazy...
Fan Jin won the national examination and went crazy. In the eyes of Ling Yun today, this is normal.
Outside the gate, except for a few candidates who still had a glimmer of light in their eyes, the rest were all embarrassed and dejected.
What's more, after leaving the camp gate, there are many people who look up to the sky and sigh, hug their heads and cry... there are many.
The roaring central night brings fame and wealth everywhere.
The ancients did scientific research just for fame and profit, which lasted for decades, just to get into the science.
If you cross it, you will see the dawn as you wish, but if you cannot cross it, you will never see the bottom of the abyss.
Looking back at the gate, Ling Yun had no words to express what it was like, but the sadness outside the gate made him feel desolate.
In fact, after coming out of this blocked door, most people know very well whether they will be successful or not.
This is a scientific examination, some people are happy, some are sad.
Different from county examinations, government examinations, and college examinations, rural examinations determine the quality of candidates.
Those who win the ranking will change their families and no longer have to worry about food and clothing in this life. Wherever they go, they will be respected by the world.
As a reserve official of the imperial court, if by luck you encounter an official position to fill a vacancy, you will be a real official of the imperial court.
As soon as Wang Jinghui met Ling Yun, he couldn't wait to say, "Brother Ling, how do you feel? Are you sure?"
Ling Yun knew what he wanted to ask. He was about to say it was okay, but when he saw his frivolous steps, he finally shook his head and said, "It's average, hard to say."
"Why!"
Wang Jinghui sighed and looked downcast, thinking that his performance was abnormal. Seeing this, Ling Yun had no choice but to step forward to comfort him.
But at this time, no amount of comforting words would be of any use, they could only let him recover on his own.
After all, this is just the beginning, and it will continue in the future. If you can't bear it now, it will be difficult to make progress in the future.
However, Ling Yun still said in a thoughtful tone, "Brother Wang, don't think too much. Everything is possible before the results are released."
Wang Jinghui nodded slightly and said in despair, "I hope so!"
Hearing his voice choked up, Ling Yun felt extremely uncomfortable.
But who is not the same?
The rankings haven't been released yet, but with this declining trend, what will happen when the rankings are released?
Who can guarantee 100% that they will be on the list?
With Wang Jinghui in such a state, Ling Yun thought that he should go back to the inn first. Maybe it would be better if he just slept for a while, so he said, "Brother Wang, why don't we go back to the inn first? We'll wait until the results are released."
After the exam, it is already determined. No matter whether you can win or not, no one can change it at this time. The answers on the sealed test paper should be left to fate!
Wang Jinghui nodded, and the two of them got into the carriage.
When Gongyuan arrived at the inn, the two of them sat in a carriage but said nothing.
Ling Yun was resting with his eyes closed, but Wang Jinghui was sighing, which made Ling Yun upset.
When they arrived at the inn, Wang Jinghui dragged his exhausted body back to the room with a depressed expression.
Ling Yun pursed his lips angrily, wanting to say something to comfort him, but in the end he didn't speak.
The next day, Ling Yun still felt a little tired when he woke up.
He opened the door and asked Xiao He if Wang Jinghui was up. Xiao He just shook his head.
Ling Yun sighed. He was in a daze last night, but he could vaguely hear Wang Jinghui sighing and sighing. It might be because he didn't sleep last night.
I should be catching up on some sleep now!
Ling Yun ate some green vegetable porridge, which contained finely chopped minced meat, which was sweet and delicious.
It wasn't until noon that Wang Jinghui got up, ate something, checked his answers with him, and his face became even paler.
Seeing this, Ling Yun had no choice but to use the excuse that he had forgotten what he had written and stop answering with him.
Otherwise, just when things get better, they may start crying again.
After leaving the room, I had nothing to do and went downstairs to drink tea. Yang Ergou happened to be there, and a group of candidates downstairs were discussing the answers this time.
During the discussion, some were full of confidence, while others were wailing in pain...
When Yang Ergou saw Ling Yun sitting there alone, drinking tea in front of the sun, he stepped forward and greeted him when he had nothing to do, "Master Yun, are you coming down for tea?"
Seeing him coming, Ling Yun pointed to the stool next to him and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, sit down for a while."
Yang Ergou scratched his head and said with a smile, "Hey! Let's sit with Master Yun while there's nothing else."
Ling Yun poured a cup of tea with him, and Yang Ergou stood up a little flattered.
Ling Yun smiled at him and said, "We are all friends, no need to be polite."
Hearing this, Yang Ergou was surprised and happy, a little at a loss.
