After being exiled, the lucky cub who was dropped from the bag came back

Chapter 225 Exam Finished

After the three exams, the scholars left the dormitory in batches and handed in the papers at the examiner in the Zhigong Hall.

Next to it is the examiner, who strictly supervises the examiner to collect the papers according to the scriptures. Every fifty papers collected will be sealed and put into the box. Those who do not hand in the papers are not allowed to leave. The number of test papers must match the number of candidates, otherwise they will be held accountable. .

But it doesn't mean that you can leave immediately after handing in the papers. When you hand in the papers, the examiner will issue a lottery, and you can only leave after checking and canceling at the Longmen, which is called "release the card".

There are three times a day, the first card is placed in the morning, the second card is placed in the afternoon, and the third card is placed in the evening.

The first two exams must strictly abide by the release time, and the third exam will be released one day in advance, that is, on the [-]th, but generally few people do this.

Such a large-scale exam, which is related to oneself and even the family, of course must be safe, and the extra time will be used to see if it can be perfect, so most of the papers will be handed in on the [-]th to receive the license.

Cheng Zhongqian was no exception, he limped out the door only when you were young.

"Daddy is out!"

Hearing the movement, Cheng Zhongqian turned his head slowly, and saw several children running over in a hurry, Lingbao ran in front holding Sanlang's hand, followed by Erlang and Dalang, surrounding him in a semicircle.

"Father, are you okay? Can you hold on?" Cheng Yun frowned slightly, and supported Cheng Zhongqian with a little worry.

He has a reason for asking this question.

The system in the Gongyuan House is strict, the examination rules are strict, and there is a lack of medicine inside. There are always some elderly and sickly scholars who cannot bear the pressure every time. It is good to have a blank mind after entering the examination room. Some didn't, and they "scared" themselves to death.

Cheng Zhongqian is alright, these years of hard work have made him much stronger.

"It's fine, it's fine."

Ling Bao wrinkled his face and asked, "Then why are you walking with a limp, Daddy? You're still holding on to your waist!"

She stared at Cheng Zhongqian seriously, suspecting that her father was announcing good news but not bad news, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with Dad? Is it serious? You can't hide it from us!"

Cheng Zhongqian laughed, and bent down to hug her, but there was an unbearable pain in his waist, and he immediately grinned: "Hiss——ouch!"

Cheng Jin was worried and strange: "Father, did you hurt your waist?"

"No!" Cheng Zhongqian categorically vetoed it. This misunderstanding is unacceptable. He explained, "Sitting in the dormitory for too long, lying down for too long, I can't move, so my limbs are a little stiff, just take a rest."

After the first exam, I was a little stiff, after the second exam, I was very stiff, and after the third exam, I became stiffer and stiffer, which caused this situation.

Ling Bao worriedly touched his waist and legs, but he didn't see any obvious injuries, so he cheered up: "Then let's go back quickly, Daddy can have a good rest!"

"Go back and ask Xiaoer to prepare a bucket of bath water for me. I haven't changed my clothes for three days, and I'm sweaty all over." Cheng Zhongqian said disgustedly.

The dormitory was cramped and stuffy, and I was sweating all over while writing the questions, and my clothes were soaked in sweat.

It's okay not to say, but Cheng Yi deliberately moved over from Cheng Jin's side, leaned over to sniff his father.

"Hey - Dad, you really stink!"

He had a loud voice, and as soon as he spoke, the people around him looked over, Cheng Zhongqian felt ashamed, and stared at him through gritted teeth.

Cheng Yi is still baffled, why stare at him?He is obviously echoing his father!
It just doesn't make sense!

The inn kitchen kept burning hot water, and it didn't take long for the hot water to be carried up. Cheng Zhongqian let the children out, mainly Lingbao, and then took off the wet and sticky clothes. The moment he soaked in, he sighed comfortably.

The warm water gently pushes the body, as if all the tiredness has been washed away.

Cheng Zhongqian was even a little drowsy.

Cheng Yun came in worryingly, and saw his father fell asleep with his head on the side of the bucket. Fortunately, he came in to take a look!
Pushing Cheng Zhongqian's shoulder: "Father, wake up, go to bed and sleep after washing."

Cheng Zhongqian woke up, washed his hair quickly, then dried himself and went to sleep.

Sleep until the next day.

In his sleep, he felt a few pairs of immature little hands pressing randomly on his body, pressing here, pinching there, his stiff body was relieved, and he fell into a deeper sleep.

Cheng Zhongqian woke up from starvation and could only eat some dry food for three days. He wanted to eat something good now.

Ask Xiaoer to serve several dishes, and the whole family gathers together to eat.

Holding a steamed bun that was bigger than his hand, Lingbao took a bite, puffed his cheeks and asked, "Daddy, are you feeling better? My brothers and I massaged you when you were asleep!"

"So it's you guys, I said why are you so comfortable." Cheng Zhongqian's surprised expression made Lingbao and Cheng Jin very happy.

"Father, how did you do in the exam?"

Only then did Cheng Yun and the others dare to ask, because they were afraid of disturbing his train of thought.

"Anyway, I have answered everything, and I feel pretty good myself."

This is all thanks to Gao Xianqing, without his guidance, Cheng Zhongqian felt that he would not be able to answer such a good test paper.

In other words, Kui Lingbao, after all, it was thanks to his precious daughter that he got to know Gao Xianqing.

"As for whether you can win or not, you can only listen to the destiny."

Lingbao interjected: "It will definitely hit!"

Childish words can't be taken seriously, but Cheng Zhongqian was still pleased, and asked her with a smile: "How do you know?"

Ling Baoke said cutely: "Daddy answered well, of course you can win!"

Cheng Zhongqian squeezed her face, sighed and said, "It doesn't count like that."

Ling Bao tilted his head, how was that calculated?

"Judging has its rules, but it's hard to follow them."

Because there are nearly [-] scholars in some provincial capitals, there is not only one paper on the paper, three articles for one game, and nine papers for three games.

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhongqian came up with an arithmetic problem on a whim: "How many articles are there in total? The number of people is based on 1 people."

Lingbao immediately counted with her fingers, and the others didn't shout when they figured it out, they waited patiently for her.

As soon as Lingbao raised her head, everyone looked at her, shrunk their necks, and whispered, "Is it ninety thousand?"

Everyone was surprised, because Lingbao learned arithmetic very late, and this is a big number.

"Yes, it's [-]!" Cheng Yun praised without hesitation.

Lingbao raised her chin in a high-flying way, it was the king who taught her.

The king said that for an integer like [-], you only need to count the first number, and then add a few zeros to the end of the answer if there are a few zeros.

She remembers it well!
"The review time is very tight. There are only eighteen days and nights. The number of house officers is small. There are [-] articles. How can I have time to read them one by one." Cheng Zhongqian took a few more bites of food and said, "It's all random. If it’s a good paper, read it from the beginning; if it’s not, just put it aside.”

Therefore, the proverb says, there is no paper in the field, one is fate, two is luck, three is geomantic omen, four is accumulation of yin skills, and five is reading.
