Chapter 83 Autumn

"Five days later is the day when the court picks a scholar. Brother Yanzhao and Brother Qiu Bai, how sure are you two?"

On the edge of the clear pool of the college, He Yu's fat face showed tension. By his side, Yang Yanzhao and Zhang Qian stood quietly. Looking at the remnant sun that was thin to Xishan and was about to sink, the afterglow also seemed to be red, half stained with the clear pool.

Suddenly, both of them laughed, and Yang Yanzhao took the lead in saying, "Today, don't worry, Xie Yuan, your brother has decided. As for Qiu Bai, he can only be that person."

"Humph, Zhang Qian snorted disapprovingly, "I don't know who will die. Don't let Jinxi watch jokes at that time!"

Hearing this quarrel, He Yu put away his nervous heart and said, "Two brothers, look at you like this. I can start to prepare for the celebration banquet."

In a word, all three of them smiled happily.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Qian followed He Yu's carriage, and Yang Yanzhao walked to the college with three food boxes. Just after Geng Yuanfu and Xu Shi's meals were delivered separately, he returned to his hut.

At the gate of the small courtyard, Zhe Yuqing was fiddling with a green grass in his hand and leaned against the door to be independent.

"Yan Zhao has met his uncle. I don't know that my uncle is here and let you wait." For the two brothers who helped him so much, Yang Yanzhao was very respectful in his heart, so he hurriedly strode forward to salute.

Throw away the weeds in his hand, Zhe Yuqing moved his body a few times, "I didn't wait long. Maybe it's a coincidence. When I came, you just left. Today, I just want to tell you that the matter of household registration has been solved, although it is easy to take the exam.

Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao saluted respectfully again, "It bothered my uncle."

Zhe Yuqing waved his hand unaccustomedly, "Don't be so polite in the future, which makes me feel a little strange. Although the test is held in the prefecture city, I and my brother and other prefecture officials are only assisting. The court will send people from the Ministry of Ceremonies to take charge of this matter, and I don't think it can help."

Slowly speaking, he turned his head and looked at Yang Yanzhao, "I understand that you are different from ordinary people. My brother has also told me not to deliberately disturb your choice, but curiosity is always in my heart. It is difficult to erase, and the more uncomfortable it is, the more uncomfortable it is.

Do you really believe that you can temporarily stand out in the scientific examination and become a student of the emperor?

Do you really don't want to order troops on the battlefield?

Yang Yanzhao was a little silent, and he sighed quietly for a long time, "Aunt, Yanzhao has no choice now. Although I was born as a general, and my military career is indeed exciting, but it's not my favorite after all."

Zhe Yuqing's face was a little **, and he turned to Yang Yanzhao and shook his hand. "In this case, I won't say much. I just hope that you can be amazing when you solve the test. Don't worry about your little maid. She does have martial arts talent..."

Saying this, Zhe Yuqing stopped his figure, "Of course, the Xiaohu Brigade in Fuzhou City will leave a place for you at any time."

Looking at Zhe Yuqing's figure gradually submerged in the first scene of light ink tracing, Yang Yanzhao's eyes were a little sour. He owed this feeling firmly.

After eating the food sent by He Yu, when it was time to light the oil lamp, Yang Yanzhao cleaned up the table for a while and focused on reading the book under the light.

In the past few months, although Geng Yuanfu has been taught by everyone, Yang Yanzhao still had to calm down and review his lessons with a good temper.

Because he can't afford to lose, and he can't wait for the next exam in three years.

The nameless wind rose slightly, with the coolness of early autumn, shaking the oil yellow lamp in the room, and also shaking the smell of cigarettes rising in the incense burner.

Before the low case, Xu Shaoyang and his apprentice sat cross-legged, and a game of chess had been fought. Looking at the few chess pieces left on it, they thought they were in a deadlock.

Geng Yuanfu's eyebrows were locked, as if he was trying to think of a way to break the situation, but after a while, he finally put down the 'horse' in his hand and didn't know where to go.

"Shaoyang, did the examiner sent by the court have any news this time?"

"The disciple has made it clear that Xia Yuzhi, a member of the ceremonial department, came to Fuzhou this time. This person is a Jinshi who has been Kaibao for three years. He is a little talented, but he is also a little slippery."

"Is there anyone with him?"

"En, Xia Yuzhi's deputy, secretary Lang, Shangguan Yun."

Hearing this, Geng Yuanfu's eyebrows stretched a little and sighed, "That's good..."

"Is the teacher worried about the younger brother's test?"

"Yan Zhao is intelligent by nature, and he has a pen and ink in his chest. After several months of teaching as a teacher, he has also made some small achievements. The solution of the test should be handed. However, although this test is an excellent opportunity for the son of a poor family to leap over the Dragon Gate, it has a dirty trick that ordinary people don't know, so after Shangguan Yun comes to Fuzhou, Shaoyang will go to meet him for a while.

"I understand."

Geng Yuanfu pondered for another moment, "There is one more thing you need to do as a teacher. The Di Kui will stay in Baode City for the past two days. You go and find him to get the 'Kui Yan Sutra'."

A few flowers fell outside the house, and the time turned away.

The five-day time is fast. Finally, he will take the exam tomorrow, and Yang Yanzhao's heart has become inexplicably calm. After returning from Geng Yuanfu's yard, he began to carefully check the exam materials sent by the exhaust wind.

After checking everything, it was late at night, but he was still not sleepy at all. He wanted to pick up the theory and have a look, but he couldn't see it, so he had to go outside the house to punch a set.

This night, I'm afraid that there are many people who have the same insomnia as him.

Not long after lying down, in a daze, Yang Yanzhao heard a slight sound and quickly jumped up, but saw Xu Shi, who was full of smiling faces.

"Little brother, it's time to prepare to go to the Buddhist temple."

To the Buddhist temple is the place where the test is solved in Fuzhou.

Yang Yanzhao took the water and washed it randomly, ate some pastries brought by Xu Shi, picked up the wooden box containing pen and ink and walked out.

At this moment, the crescent moon was covered by gray clouds, and several stars that had not yet disappeared were scattered with a pale yellow halo. A wisp of breeze blew, which made Yang Yanzhao wake up a little.

"Little brother, come with me. The carriage is ready for you.

Xu Shi whispered, and Yang Yanzhao followed him in surprise. For several months, he had never found anything in the college or a carriage.

Bypassing the courtyard, on the edge of the grass, a small carriage was parked there, and the pulling horse lowered its head and ate the grass at its feet with relish.

"This is what my teacher asked me to buy from the city yesterday. Today, I will send my younger brother to take the exam."

With that, Xu Shi wanted to get on the car. When Yang Yanzhao saw that he was going to drive, he immediately took a few steps forward. "How dare you bother me like this? Let Yanzhao drive!"

Xu Shi picked up the whip on the side and gently fell a whip. "Today's test, you are the oldest, and you'd better get on the car quickly, so as not to miss the time."

Unswerving, Yang Yanzhao got on the car with a smile. Xu Shi's car was very stable, and it was even better than He Yu's little man. Sitting in it, he didn't feel bumpy at all.

Maybe he knew that the exam was opened, and the gate was also opened earlier than usual. After the inspection, the soldiers of the guards would say a high school word with a smile, which made the past students who rushed to take the exam less uneasy.

Entering the city, although the night was still open, the street was much more lively, and the road illuminated by the lanterns was much brighter. Yang Yanzhao lifted the curtain, but saw an endless stream of people in the same direction as him.

I don't know how many of these hard-working people can go to high school.

Finally, the car stopped. Yang Yanzhao jumped out of the carriage and thanked Xu Shi. The latter handed over the food box prepared on one side of the car and smiled at him. It was a kind of gentle smile.

"Little brother, don't panic. I'll sit with my teacher and wait for your good news."

He said goodbye to Xu Shi. At this moment, there was still some time to leave the exam. Yang Yanzhao was looking for Zhang Qian in the crowd with pen and ink in one hand and pastries in the other.

But when you look up, it's full of black heads, and you can't see Zhang Qian's figure.

"Brother!"

At this time, a familiar cry came from his ear, and then Yang Yanzhao saw a ball of meat squeezed out of the crowd. It turned out to be He Yu, and behind him was the exhaust wind and Zhang Qian.

"Father!"

When the exhaust wind stepped forward, he also carried a large food box in his little hand. Yang Yanzhao wanted to bring it over, but found that his hand was not enough.

"Exhaust, I said that Xu Shi will definitely prepare food for his brother. You don't believe it. Now you should believe it, right?"

Although He Yu said so, he still carried a small food box in his hand. Looking at the shape, it was similar to what Zhang Qian was holding in his hand.

"My senior brother is thoughtful and prepares cakes, but you also know that I like to take such a bite. How about I mention it all?"

As Yang Yanzhao spoke, he took the food box in their hands. In this way, there were three food boxes around him, which was very eye-catching.

"My son, do you want to exhaust the air and send it in for you?"

Seeing him like this, the exhaust wind said worriedly. He Yu and Zhang Qian smiled when they heard the words, "Ex exhaust wind, you can also answer the test questions for your son!"

Pai Feng stared at them and ignored their jokes. Yang Yanzhao shook his head with a smile and straightened her hair that had just been squeezed over. "Don't be lazy at home. When Zhe's uncle goes, he will follow him to learn martial arts. When he is free, he will go to Jinxi."

When the four people said, the bell rang in the temple, and He Yu suddenly restrained his smile. "Brother, Brother Qiu Bai, the younger brother set up a banquet in the best room in Jiqing Building, just waiting for you two to go to high school."

Yang Yanzhao nodded to him with a smile, "At that time, you will get drunk."

Zhang Qian showed contempt in his eyes, "Today, how can you say that you are also a rich businessman in Fuzhou now? It's just a banquet for your brother?"

Hearing the words, He Yu's smile reappeared, "As long as Brother Qiu Bai is happy, you can eat whatever you want!"

The bell behind him gradually listened. Yang Yanzhao said goodbye to He Yu and the wind, carrying the food box and pen and ink, followed many students and walked towards the Buddhist temple.
