Su Yizhao hurriedly stepped forward and closed the doors and windows. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hoping that the rain would come slower! There are so many candidates who have not finished the exam. How can the small eaves of the dormitory block the violent storm?
If the paper is wet, then the two days of hard work will be in vain, and you will have to wait three years to come back again.
However, God had no mercy on those sad-looking candidates, and within a quarter of an hour, heavy rain began to fall.
It started to rain heavily, and all the candidates were in a hurry, moving everything to the wooden board they were sitting on behind.
Fortunately, the weather was bad before, and some candidates had prepared early, so the papers would not get wet.
However, there are still a few candidates who just work hard and ignore the weather.
These people were wailing incessantly, and some candidates burst into tears when they looked at the papers with blurred handwriting.
There was a lot of noise in the dormitory, and some candidates were so resentful that they couldn't help but start cursing.
"What are you doing? Be quiet!"
A guard immediately stepped forward and shouted angrily at everyone. His name was Kang Zan, and he was in charge of military affairs and held the rank of fourth-rank military officer.
He was in charge of this provincial examination patrol. His expression was serious and his eyes were wide-eyed, which immediately silenced all the candidates present.
The candidates also knew that it was useless to complain at this moment. Some candidates saw that some of the writing on the paper was blurred, and they knew that they would be named Luosunshan again in this provincial examination, and they no longer had the mood to continue the examination.
Some candidates saw that there were few blurred areas on the paper, so they filled in those words at the bottom, but their hearts were already cold.
No matter how good the article is, if you submit such a paper, your ranking will not be good, and it is not impossible that you will even fail the ranking because of it.
Most of the candidates are glad that they collected the ground quickly, but the rain will not stop for a while, and today is the last day, and time waits for no one.
Some candidates squatted on the ground, spread their papers flat on the stool, and planned to finish writing them while lying on their stomachs.
Su Yizhao naturally didn't have to worry at the moment, and she was glad that she had handed in the paper early. But thinking of Su Yijue, she couldn't help but worry about him.
In any case, Su Yijue treats her well, I hope the other party will not be affected!
After waiting for another half an hour, finally some candidates entered the hall.
Su Yizhao found a seat in the corner to rest. When he saw the examinee coming in, he carefully looked at his expression.
In fact, there is no need to look at it, the examinee's frustration and annoyance are already written on his face.
"It's over! It's over!" The examinee murmured, shaking his head and sighing, "I will definitely not pass this time."
Su Yizhao remained silent. They were not familiar with each other, so she would not step forward to comfort him, and the other party probably did not want her comfort at this time.
More and more candidates came in one after another, and the hall became very noisy.
Some candidates are glad that they have finished the test quickly and are currently discussing their answers with other candidates.
However, the most common thing in the hall was worries, and there were more voices of consolation than discussions.
"There are three exams in total! Even if you don't do well in this one, you may not be unable to pass if you work harder in the next two!"
Su Yizhao listened to the examinee next to him advising his classmate, and his eyes began to search everywhere.
"Fifth brother! Here!" Su Yizhao waved quickly as he saw Su Yijue coming in.
"Xiao Qi!" Su Yijue's face remained as usual as she strode towards Su Yizhao.
"Fifth brother, have you finished writing?" Su Yizhao saw that the other party looked good, so he knew that Su Yijue should be on guard. After all, Su Yijue had always been cautious.
"The paper was not wet, but later on it was inconvenient to write and people's minds were wandering, so it was inevitably affected a little bit."
Su Yijue sat down on the wooden bed next to Su Yizhao, smiled at her and said, "Fortunately, you handed in your paper early!"
Su Yizhao looked at him deeply and fell silent for a moment.
Why did she feel that Su Yijue was still somewhat sincere to her fake brother? But then she thought about it, maybe it was because of family values?
There were actually several acquaintances who had passed the provincial examination this time. Everyone said hello, and Su Yizhao saw Wan Sheng.
Wan Sheng was the poor scholar they met on the road when they returned to Beiyuan Mansion last time.
After chatting with Wan Sheng for a few words, seeing that Wan Sheng was not in a high mood, and hearing that Wan Sheng said that his performance was not as good as usual, Su Yizhao stopped talking.
Although Su Yizhao is famous now, she acts in a rather low-key manner, so not many candidates have seen her.
However, after several familiar candidates greeted her, she couldn't keep a low profile even if she wanted to.
Because she was the first to submit the paper, everyone was deeply impressed by her.
After learning that she was Su Yizhao, everyone looked at her from time to time, and then began to whisper.
They were all in the same hall, so Su Yizhao would inevitably hear some.
There is envy and jealousy, there is admiration and admiration, but most of them just watch the show.
Why watch a good show? It's because of Meng Lingxi.
There were more than 5,000 candidates this time, so there couldn't be only one resting hall, and Meng Lingxi rested elsewhere.
The crowd was so crowded that Su Yizhao had not seen Meng Lingxi until now, but it did not prevent his name from always reaching her ears.
"I heard that two years ago, Master Zhu intended to accept Meng Lingxi as his disciple. Unexpectedly, the Chief Assistant suddenly said that he had already intended to accept him as his disciple, which made Master Zhu very embarrassed!" One of the candidates said enviously.
"Yes! Mr. Shofu has many disciples, and he is also a bachelor of Zhongji Palace. He is also a top scholar. I am really lucky to have his guidance!"
A candidate next to him smacked his lips in envy, and then glanced at Su Yizhao. Everyone could see the look in his eyes.
It's just you, Su Yizhao, so what if you are talented? The Taifu and the Chief Assistant are robbing people, but they are not robbing you.
Nowadays, other people's teachers are the chief ministers of the dynasty, but your teacher is just an academy teacher.
Since two years ago, the gap between you two has widened!
Everyone looked at Su Yizhao after hearing this, with some gloating and regret in their eyes, but most of them were envious.
Su Yizhao still looked as usual and turned a deaf ear to these words.
However, Meng's behavior made her very surprised. She did not expect that the chief assistant valued Meng Lingxi so much that he would personally seek out Meng Lingxi, even at the cost of offending the emperor and the Taifu.
She heard from her grandfather that for the sake of Meng Lingxi, the chief assistant had given up some power.
When he laid out this situation, Su Yizhao knew that this would be a dilemma for the Meng family.
In order to fulfill this lie, Zhu Yue had to write a letter to Meng Lingxi, and even sent his own juniors to personally pick him up from Han Dan Mansion. After all, he had to do a full set of acting!
But before the Zhu family set out on their journey, the chief minister went to ask the emperor in person to ask for someone.
It was announced that the Chief Assistant had already planned to accept Meng Lingxi as his direct disciple, but he had not yet had time to announce it. Originally, he wanted to wait until he was admitted as a scholar before holding the apprenticeship ceremony.
However, this incident refuted Taifu Zhu’s face, which also refuted the emperor’s face.
Taifu Zhu took advantage of this incident to achieve his goal.
