Chapter 90 Picking up bargains
The yamen officer glanced at the student and said politely: "Let me ask the prefect for you. You can stay here later."
The student immediately nodded excitedly, then grabbed Sun Zenian's hand, which was still slightly conscious, and shook it hard.
"I thank your whole family, really, really thank you and your whole family for giving me this opportunity to pick up the slack!"
Sun Zenian.
The only trace of consciousness that remained was gone in a whoosh.
But there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
The other government officials locked up the person and took him away. The one who went to ask questions quickly returned.
"The prefect said that studying is not easy. I will give you a chance. However, the time that has passed will not be made up and the papers will be collected together."
The student jumped three feet high and said, "Thank you, thank you."
With tears of excitement on his face, he followed the yamen servant in.
Zhou Qing
I've heard of people who miss out on their son-in-law, but this is the first time I've seen someone who missed out on a spot in the examination room.
The door of the government office was closed again. Zhou Qing frowned and looked at Shen Li, "What kind of bad luck did my father get?"
No wonder her eyelids were twitching all morning.
Zhou Huaihai gave gifts to the former prefect, and the former prefect leaked the examination questions and rankings
You can use your toes to guess who Zhou Huaihai's target is.
Sun Zenian, at least, wanted Sun Jin to pass the exam.
Is Zhou Huaihai sick?
Biting them like a mad dog and not letting go!
Isn’t it good to be beautiful alone?
If the new prefect hadn't arrived in time, her father wouldn't have known what he would have gone through in the examination room.
According to Zhou Huaihai's temperament, she would never be reconciled until her father's reputation was ruined.
When Zhou Qing thought of this, he was thankful but felt frightened for a while.
Shen Li couldn't hold it back anymore. He raised his hand and touched the hair on the top of Zhou Qing's head, and said softly: "Master is a good person, so his luck will not be bad. Now are you at ease?"
Zhou Qing looked up at Shen Li, his eyes widened suddenly, and he glanced left and right. Then he approached Shen Li and lowered his voice and said, "It couldn't have been done by your relative from Kyoto, right?"
Zhou Qing suddenly came so close, and Shen Li's ears turned red.
"No, it's not."
Zhou Qing looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you stammering?"
As he said that, he hit Shen Li's chest with his elbow, "What's there to hide? If your relative in Kyoto has this ability, I can rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade. My father and I both thank you."
Shen Li
You don't need to rely on my relatives in Kyoto, just rely on me.
Reliable.
She wanted to touch Zhou Qing's hair again, but the courage she always had in her heart was gone.
After coughing, Shen Li smiled and said, "It's really not me. I'm with you every day. How could I have known that Zhou Huaihai would do something like this? If he hadn't given gifts to the former prefect, there wouldn't have been anything like this."
Zhou Qing frowned and nodded, "That's true."
After saying that, Zhou Qing raised his hand and waved, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's a big happy event anyway. Come on, I'll treat you to a delicious meal. It's still early for my dad to come out!"
Shen Li smiled and nodded.
Eat, drink and go shopping.
Fucheng is much more lively and prosperous than the county town. Eating pepper chicken drumsticks wrapped in oil paper and strolling on the lively streets, Zhou Qing hummed to Little Jumping Frog in a good mood.
Shen Li stayed with her and looked at her.
"When Master passes the exam, do you plan to move to Fucheng?"
"Forget it, we can't afford to spend the little money we have. Let's wait until my father passes the examination to become a scholar."
The main reason is that Zhou Qing is afraid that there are too many entertainment projects in the county and capital cities, and she will not be able to control Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan has been a playboy for decades in his life, so it is good to be forced to study by her in this life.
Once he comes to Fucheng County and feels this wonderful world, awakening his temporarily suppressed playboy temperament, what should he do if he becomes a wild horse running wild?
She, Zhou Qing, will rely on her father to earn money from studying for the rest of her life!
Zhou Qing fell silent and saw that Shen Li didn't speak for a long time, so he turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
Shen Li sighed slightly, "I'm going to Kyoto for a few days during the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid I have to leave in a few days."
Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't feel that when they were together every day, why did Shen Li suddenly say this? She still felt a little unexplainable in her heart.
"Are you going for a long time?"
Shen Li looked at Zhou Qing with a gentle light in his eyes, "It's hard to say."
After a pause, Shen Li said again: "I have to leave for a long time, what will happen to master's studies? The next college examination is in March of spring."
"It's okay. I can't let you be trapped in Qingyang Village because of my father. You can go and do whatever you want. There is also Mr. Hu in the village. He is very knowledgeable. Please pay more attention to him when the time comes."
The corners of Shen Li's mouth moved but he said nothing.
After a moment of silence, he added: "I will try to come back as soon as possible."
Zhou Qing then chuckled.
The two walked side by side, and the excitement and laughter around them passed by and surged in again.
"I think it's better if you don't buy a house in the county or city. You can buy it directly in Kyoto in the future. It will be convenient when the master goes to Hanlin Academy."
Shen Li suddenly spoke, and Zhou Qing's mouth almost cramped while chewing the chicken drumsticks.
"Hanlin Academy? You have to be a Jinshi to enter!"
"Master will definitely pass the exam." Shen Li said firmly.
Zhou Huaishan had promised that he would never let Shen Li marry Zhou Qing unless he won the imperial examination.
Even if he cheats, Zhou Huaishan still has to get it in.
"You trust my dad so much?"
"Well, although Master is a bit playful, he has a very smart mind."
Zhou Qing looked at Shen Li with a moved face and raised his hand to pat his shoulder.
"If my father really passes the imperial examination, I will go to the temple to offer you a perpetual lamp!"
Shen Li almost knelt down.
There are many ways to repay me, it doesn't have to be this way, for example, you can repay me with your body!
As the two talked, they walked back to the gate of the government office unknowingly. When they arrived, the gate of the government office was wide open.
The students who had taken the exam for a day came out exhausted.
Zhou Huaishan burst into tears when he saw Zhou Qing.
"My girl, it's too difficult!"
Zhou Huaishan cried and received sidelong glances from the students next to him.
"My dear brother, the questions in this exam are really too difficult. I haven't even finished answering them."
With a sad sigh, the student left with his hands behind his back like a sad frog.
When Zhou Qing heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Trying to put on a big smile, patting Zhou Huaishan on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's hard no matter how hard it is. If you don't know, others may not know it either. Don't worry about it. Try your best in the next two days."
Zhou Huaishan twitched his eyes and looked at Zhou Qing.
His face was full of disbelief.
"Am I Zhou Huaishan the kind of person who cries because the test paper is too difficult? Is it difficult for me to judge?"
Zhou Qing
Damn!
I almost thought you were a normal student.
"Then what did you say was too difficult?"
Zhou Huaishan howled righteously.
"I'm hungry! I only brought one fried dough stick and two eggs when I went in, and I ate them all before the test started. I was a little full at the time, but halfway through the test, I was so hungry that my whole body was shaking!"
"You also brought fried dough sticks and eggs?" Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Huaishan in astonishment, "And you ate them inside?"
The inspector didn't kick you out!
Zhou Huaishan snorted proudly, "Fortunately I brought it, otherwise I wouldn't have enough energy to support me to finish the test paper! By the way, the prefect was afraid that I would choke and affect the exam, so he asked someone to send me a cup of hot tea!"
Zhou Qing
What else can she say except to bow devoutly in the direction of the government office with gratitude!
