Chapter 199 Save face!
In the next half month, Shen Yi no longer wrote essays every day, but found some miscellaneous books and put them at hand to read.

Because he felt that he had been too tight in the past few months and needed to relax appropriately, otherwise the effect might be counterproductive.

Finally, the time came to September 24th in the sixth year of Hongde. Accompanied by Xu Fu and two servant girls, Shen Yi waited at the gate of the Qiuwei examination room before dawn.

Qiu Wei's registration was completed more than half a month ago. Shen Yi only needs to bring the test card today, and after verifying his integrity, he can go in for reference.

One of the two little maids helped Shen Yi carry the exam basket to check if there was anything missing in it, and the other stood on Shen Yi's left, saying something to make Shen Yi relax.

After spending half a year together, the relationship between them and Shen Yi is already very good.

Because Shen Yi treated the two little sisters very well, not only treated them very well, but also maintained respect for the two maidservants in terms of personality, and did not take them as current persons.

The only thing that made these two maids dissatisfied was that Shen Yi respected them both too much.

Of these two little maids, one is one year younger than Shen Yi, and the other is two years younger than Shen Yi. They are both about 15 years old, and this age is when they are thinking about spring.

Although the two little girls knew in their hearts that their identities were different from Shen Yi's and they were unlikely to become regular wives, but facing a young man of the same age as Shen Yi, of course the two of them would have some thoughts in their hearts.

Shen Yi is 16 years old this year. Young masters of this age in Jiankang City, as long as there are maids around, they will usually have sex. If they get along for a long time and have feelings, they may be able to start a "concubine room".

However, Shen Yi obviously didn't have any thoughts in this regard. He "shared rent" with two young girls of the same age for more than four months, and they still live in separate rooms.

Seeing that she was about to arrive at the Qiuwei examination room, Qing'er in the carriage checked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the examination basket again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she raised her head, glanced at Shen Yi lightly, and said softly, "My lord, take the examination There are all pens, ink, papers and inkstones in the basket, and a lot of food is prepared for you, see if you have anything you want to eat, I will go with Pinger to buy some for you."

Shen Yi shook his head, chuckled lightly and said: "This is for the exam, not for enjoying the blessings, it's just a matter of having a stutter, and besides, you two have been preparing for the things in the exam basket for several days. I love to eat, don't do anything else."

What I have to admit is that with these two little girls taking care of me, Shen Yi's life is much more convenient.

In all aspects of life, the two little girls who are used to serving others can take care of them. In addition, both of them have other thoughts, so they naturally take good care of Shen Yi.

At least for the past four months, with these two maids around, Shen Yi has a lot more time to study and compose, which is much more comfortable than when he lived alone.

The carriage stopped, and the younger Ping'er jumped out of the carriage, and then pulled Shen Yi out of the carriage. She was young and had a more playful personality. She shook Shen Yi's sleeve lightly, and said, "My lord, I listen to you." My sister said that the township test is very important to you, if you pass the test, you will take me and my sister out to eat delicious food..."

Qing'er glared at Ping'er.

"You, you are becoming more and more ignorant. In the past few months, why did the young master treat you badly?"

Shen Yi smiled dumbly, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, this year, no matter whether you pass the test or not, after I finish the test, I will take you to invite Yuelou to have a good meal."

He looked back at Xu Fu who was following behind, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, Xiao Xu, you will bring them all along."

Xu Fu nodded and smiled: "My lord, I really want to eat, and I'm here to invite you to celebrate my high school."

After a few months, Xu Fu and others have also made a lot of money. Although Xiao Xu can't be called a high-ranking official, at least he can be said to be a small boss. Naturally, he speaks a little harder.

Shen Qilang nodded with a smile: "Xiao Xu is rich now, so please come and invite me."

While talking, several people walked towards the Qiuwei examination room. Before they got close to the examination room, a middle-aged man saw Shen Yi from a distance and kept waving at Shen Yi.

"Yi'er, Yi'er!"

Hearing this voice, Shen Yi hurriedly walked over, and saw that Shen Zhang, who was wearing thick clothes, had already waited at the entrance of the Qiuwei examination room early, and was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, which was bulging, obviously Loaded a lot of things.

Shen Yi also stepped forward to meet him, bowed his head to Shen Zhang and said, "Father, why are you here?"

Shen Zhang had previously told Shen Yi that he would come to take the exam, but now it was late autumn, the weather was cold, and he had to get up early in the morning, so Shen Yi didn't let him come.

After Shen Yi saluted, the two maids Qingping and Xu Fu behind him saluted Shen Zhang respectfully and called "Master".

Of course they have all seen it.

In the past few months, Shen Zhang has been to Shen Yi's house several times, and has eaten there several times, so he has naturally met Shen Yi's people around him.

"How can there be a reason why the son doesn't take the exam and the father doesn't come to send it?"

Shen Zhang pointed to the shadowy buildings at the gate of the Qiuwei examination room
He smiled and said, "Don't you see that these are all parents who came to send you to the exam?"

Expecting their children to become dragons is a portrayal of most parents, and Shen Zhang is no exception.

And this desire may be even stronger in Shen Zhang.

Because the Shen family was in the previous generation, Jiangdu was a medium or even large family. When Shen Zhang was young, the family background was good, so the four brothers in the family all had the opportunity to study.

It's a pity that among the four brothers, only the eldest, Shen Hui, passed the imperial examination smoothly, and won the imperial examination, and the other three failed to escape from the thousands of troops.

In this era, the eldest son will inherit most of the family business, and Shen Hui is a juren, so most of the Shen family's family property is inherited by Shen Hui's line, which makes Shen Zhang pay more attention to scientific research.

The failure of the examination room is the biggest regret in his heart.

Fortunately, his son is very competitive. He got No.2 in the government examination at a young age, passed the hospital examination all the way, and even got the honor of a scholar with the second place in the hospital examination!
If Shen Yi can be elected this year, then the fourth family of Shen's family can be regarded as a promising scholar.

At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, and the Qiuwei examination room has not yet been released. Shen Zhang and Shen Yi and his son walked around the entrance of the examination room. When they approached the entrance of the examination room, Shen Zhang looked at the examination room from a distance, and then pulled his son's sleeve , with a long sigh.

"Yi'er, although Qiu Wei is very important to you and to our Shen family, you must not be too impatient, let alone make things difficult for yourself. You are still young, we will not pass this year, and we will wait another three years."

Shen Yi smiled at his father, and said: "Father said that in three years, my younger brother will probably come to Jiankang to take the Qiuwei exam. If I don't pass this year, I can still take the same exam as my younger brother."

"cough…"

Shen Zhang coughed.

"You don't have to wait for him, it's better to win this year."

Shen Yi laughed, pulled Shen Zhang's sleeve, and said, "Father, don't worry, even if my son doesn't do anything else this year, but just to earn some face from your uncle in Jiangdu, he will definitely come back with the exam! "
