At the first watch, Fang Zian, who was drunk, was helped out of the monastery by Qin Xiqing and came to the corridor.

Qin Xiqing ordered in a sweet voice: "Ling'er, order someone to prepare a car to take Young Master Fang home."

Ling'er stayed in the corridor for a few hours, listening to the two people inside playing the piano and singing, and she felt relieved. She didn't understand why the girl was so kind to Fang Zian alone. It was really unacceptable.

Understood. After finally waiting for them to come out and see Fang Zian off, she felt a little more comfortable and hurriedly agreed to arrange the car. Suddenly, through the light of the lights in the corridor, she saw a scene that surprised her. She

Seeing Qin Xiqing and Fang Zian actually holding hands, their hands intertwined.

"Girl! You guys!" Ling'er shouted in shock.

Qin Xiqing frowned and looked at Ling'er and said, "What's wrong with you? You were shocked."

Ling'er bit her lower lip and let out a breath. She lowered her head and said softly: "It's nothing. Ling'er is going to prepare the car."

Ling'er turned around and walked away, hearing Qin Xiqing talking softly to Fang Zian behind her.

"Fang Lang, did you drink too much? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you drink so much. If you feel you can't hold it anymore, just stay here tonight..."

Ling'er could hardly believe her ears. She had never heard Qin Xiqing talking to a man so gently, let alone that man was actually someone like Fang Zian. The words 'Fang Lang' exploded like thunder.

In her heart, Ling'er's heart was tightly packed.

"Could it be that... Miss, he is really in love with Fang Zian? Fang Lang? Fang Lang? Could it be that they have... Bah, the girl is really blind, how could she fall in love with Fang Zian?

?What’s so good about this Fang Zian? Girl, how can you do this to yourself? I will never let you do this to yourself."

Ling'er felt annoyed and anxious, and became a mess.

"Stay here? That can't be done. I will have the autumn exam tomorrow, so I can't delay it. Xiqing, I will come to see you after I win the title of Toad Palace. If our love lasts for a long time, how can we meet in court?

Twilight. Hahaha, I didn’t drink too much. You know how much I drink. It’s a huge amount.” Fang Zian’s disgusting voice came, speaking unashamedly and unscrupulously, Ling’er heard it.

, which is even more indescribably boring.

"The slave family knows that the husband should not be angry. The slave family is also thinking about the husband. Didn't they arrange a carriage to send the husband away? Tomorrow the husband will go to the exam, and the slave family cannot go to see you off. It is very regrettable.

I can wish you success and success in the Toad Palace. Then the slave family will host a banquet to celebrate your husband." Qin Xiqing said softly.

"Okay, okay, hahaha. It's settled." Fang Zian laughed loudly and walked to the door very proudly.

Before getting on the bus, Fang Zian even reached out and pinched Qin Xiqing's face, which made Ling'er and other women who were accompanying him eclipse their beauty. Ling'er gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and there seemed to be a look in her eyes.

To breathe out fire.

…

The next day, Fang Zian slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. After washing and having breakfast, Chunni rushed over from the shop. She came specially to see Fang Zian off to the Gongyuan dormitory today. Fang Zian originally told her,

There is no need to come to see her off, but Chunni thinks she has this obligation to see her off, because she will be Fang Zian's woman in the future, how can she not be present at this time.

Of course Zhang Ruomei also

He thought about sending Fang Zian to the big exam, but Fang Zian was worried about her safety and asked her to stay at home. After all, the autumn Wei big exam was a major event in Lin'an City, and extra personnel were deployed near Gongyuan and throughout the city to maintain law and order.

, this is not good for Zhang Ruomei. Although the matter has calmed down, Zhang Ruomei has been in and out of the market several times, and has not encountered any danger even without makeup. However, it is better to be careful at this time.

At noon, Fang Zian boarded the hired carriage and went with Chunni to the Qiu Wei Examination Hall - the Gongyuan located inside the Qiantang Gate in the northwest of Lin'an City. This is not only the venue for the Autumn Wei Examination, but also the venue for all previous Spring Wei Examinations.

Fang Zian thought that he had left early enough, but when he arrived at the square outside Gongyuan, he realized that he was mostly wrong. The square outside the gate of Gongyuan was already crowded with people. Students participating in Qiuwei and those who came to take exams

The people accompanying him had already crowded the area around the square. At the gate of Gongyuan, the queue of students was already a long queue with several twists and turns. The scene was very lively.

After getting off the carriage, he put his belongings and luggage under a big tree on the edge of the square. Fang Zian wiped his sweat and looked around. However, he saw that the heavily armed officers and soldiers around the square and on the square were holding hands extremely tightly. Located at the entrance of Gongyuan, there was even more

There are several tall arrow towers built temporarily. There are patrolling officers and soldiers swaying on them. Obviously, the Song Dynasty still attached great importance to the imperial examination. This was the only formal channel for the Song Dynasty to obtain scholars. Of course, on the surface,

It seems so. The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, so autumn and spring are the top priorities of the imperial court.

Looking at the students taking the exam in the square, some were happily calling friends, some were sitting on the floor in silence, and some had sad faces and heavy thoughts. The people who participated in the Qiu Wei Festival were also of all kinds.

There are old and young people in age, some are just childish teenagers, and some are gray-haired old men. There are all handsome and ugly in appearance. Some people are wearing brocade robes and holding folding fans and are elegant, and some are elegant.

The people were wearing shabby long robes and shivering.

The imperial examination system, as a channel for people to rise, does cover a certain class range to a certain extent. Rich or poor, old or young, all are qualified to try their luck on this path.

From a certain perspective, it is a rare and limited fairness in this era. That is why so many people are flocking to it, and why so many people are still willing to continue trying even if their beards have turned gray.

In fact, everyone has one goal. Once they pass the test, once they pass the exam, they can ascend to heaven, honor their ancestors, and reach the pinnacle of life. All ideas and ambitions will be possible to realize. This is like a gamble.

Fan, what is blocked is one's own destiny, the one who wins will be able to control his destiny, and the one who loses will continue to be ravaged under the iron heel of fate.

Fang Zian was sighing to himself when he suddenly heard someone shouting from beside him: "Brother Zian, oops, I found you."

Fang Zian turned around to look and shouted in surprise: "Oh, Brother Chang Lin, Brother Qian, you are here too."

The visitors were none other than Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin. They were wearing long robes and holding folding fans, dressed like handsome young men. Behind them was a porter carrying boxes and blankets.

"Oh. Brother Zian, you didn't even say a word when you came. Brother Changlin and I went to Sanyuanfang to find you. As a result, the courtyard door was closed tightly, and General Suo was guarding the door. I guess he has already arrived. Ha.

Haha. Fortunately, I found it."

Qian Kang smiled.

Fang Zian was a little puzzled. Zhang Ruomei was obviously at home. Why did Qian Kang say that there was no one at home? Did Ruomei go out? However, Fang Zian soon felt relieved. As long as Zhang Ruomei was more careful, she didn't have to stay at home to be safe.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to make an appointment with you, but I didn't know where to find you. Yesterday at the Xuezheng Yamen, I looked for you for a long time. I also wanted to have a few glasses of wine together to cheer up.

." Fang Zian cupped his hands and said.

Qian Kang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's the same if we get together in three days. We'll have a wedding banquet then."

Zhao Changlin smiled and said: "Look, Brother Qian is so domineering and full of confidence. But I dare not say that I will win."

Qian Kang shook his head and said: "Brother Chang Lin, I have to talk about you. Why have we studied hard and endured hardships for so many years? Isn't it just for times like this? If we don't win, who can win? If not, who can win?

If we are determined to win, what books should we read? What should we take exams for? In my opinion, these people in front of me are no match for us, even if they are five or six in number. I want to trample them one by one.

Brother Zian, do you think so?"

Fang Zian was infected by his attitude and laughed and said: "Yes, we will definitely win. The three of us, no one less, must all pass this hurdle. Not only today, but also in the spring of next February, the three of us will also win. Chang Lin

Brother, show your momentum, if we don’t win, no one will be qualified to go to high school.”

Zhao Changlin gritted his teeth and said: "What I'm saying is that giving up now is no different from running away from the battlefield. Damn it, fight for it."

Fang Zian and Qian Kang looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's fight."

The three of them high-fived and laughed. Only then did Qian Kang notice Chunni standing beside him, and asked hurriedly: "Why is Miss Chunni here? Can't the noodles be served?"

Chuni said hurriedly: "I'm here to see the young master off."

Zhao Changlin looked at Fang Zian, pulled Fang Zian aside and whispered: "Brother Zian, don't you really want to marry Miss Chunni? I'm not saying that Miss Chunni is not good, I mean, Brother Zian

You are going to be an official and do big things in the future, so it’s wrong for you to be out of the family.”

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You are really worried about the big exam in front of you."

Turning around, Fang Zian pulled Chunni to his side and introduced the two of them: "Brothers, I want to formally tell you that Chunni and I have a long-term commitment. After autumn, I will leave.

Marry her as a betrothal gift. You two brothers, don’t forget to follow the gift when the time comes, hahaha.”

Zhao Changlin was a little dazed, but Qian Kang immediately smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out that there is such a good thing, then I really have to answer the poem, the wedding night, the gold list is named. Isn't it a double happiness then? Miss Chunni

, ah no, sister-in-law Chunni, congratulations, you married a good man."

Zhao Changlin also reacted and hurriedly came over to express his congratulations. Chunni smiled like a blooming peach blossom, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

When the three of them were talking about the location of their respective rooms, guessing about the test questions, etc., they suddenly heard several gongs ringing at the gate of Gongyuan, and the crowd immediately became commotion.

"Students, prepare to enter the venue. Listen carefully, line up to enter, no crowding, follow the arrangements, and no disobedience. Those who have evil thoughts, think of taking the exam for others or cheating, once they are found out, they will be punished immediately
