A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 22
The next day, before dawn, An Chuxia woke up to the sound of someone walking in the yard.

Hearing Gu Fangmiao's even breathing, he didn't turn on the lamp, took the clothes from the bedside and groped to put them on, opened the door and went out.

"Xiao Xia, you are awake, is it because we are making too much noise and disturbing you?" Gu Shi asked with his hands covered in flour, sticking out his head from the kitchen.

"Without a teacher's wife, it's getting late, so we should get up too."

An Chuxia walked into the kitchen and saw that Mrs. Gu was baking pancakes, and asked in puzzlement, "Master's wife got up so early to bake pancakes!"

An Chuxia, who has never personally experienced the ancient examinations, has not realized the cruelty of the ancient imperial examinations.

Gu Shi shoveled the last few pancakes out of the pan and put them in the basin, then replied: "Because you are not allowed to clean the room during the exam, and you can't eat or drink much in the morning.

So you have to bring food and water, and you can only eat when you are resting.

In this way, even if there is any inconvenience, just bear with it, and the county test is almost over. "

An Chuxia not only saw Gu Shi in the kitchen, but also saw An Jinchen who was lighting a fire in front of the stove, "Brother, you also woke up so early?!"

Gu Shi pushed An Chuxia and handed her a basin of warm water, "Hurry up and take it out to wash up!

Your brother got up earlier than me, just to marinate a few pieces of delicious stewed meat for you to take and eat in pancakes. "

After finishing speaking, Gu Shi went to Westinghouse to pull that little slob out of his bed.

"Smelly girl, get up quickly, people are so nervous about the exam that they can't sleep.

It's good for you, you sleep like a little pig, and you still need someone to call you! "

Gu Fangmiao sat up following Gu Shi's strength, and stretched her waist by the way, then said nonchalantly: "Grandmother, it was because I was too nervous last night that I couldn't sleep, so I woke up late today.

If sister An hadn't patted me to sleep last night, I might not be able to wake up today. "

Gu Shi tapped her granddaughter's forehead with her finger, and said with a look of resentment: "You still have the nerve to say, get up quickly! Your sister An is almost done washing.

At that time, because you have delayed time, let's see how your grandfather will deal with you! "

Thinking of her grandfather's dark face, Gu Fangmiao put on her clothes in a hurry, Gu saw her granddaughter getting up, and went out of the room to do other things.

As soon as Gu Fangmiao combed her hair and walked out of the room, she saw Runsong walking towards her with a basin of warm water, "Miss Gu, I'll put the warm water on the wooden shelf, you go wash up!"

Gu Fangmiao scratched her head, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xu, you don't have to be so polite, I... just do it myself!"

Runsong looked at the little girl's rosy cheeks just after waking up, her eyes flickered, "It's okay, hurry up and wash it up!

And you can also call me Brother Run Song like Xiao Xia, instead of calling me by my last name. "

After finishing speaking, he put the basin on the washstand, his ears turned red, and he hurried out of the main room.

Gu Fangmiao looked at Xu Runsong's broad back, and murmured inexplicably, "Brother Xu, what's wrong, why does it feel weird!"

After An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao washed up and solved their personal problems, they took the exam basket and got into the bullock cart, and were sent to the county exam center by Runsong and An Jinchen under the watchful eyes of their family members.

When we arrived at the test site, there were already many students and their families who came to take the test.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and with the sound of the gong, kuang... kuang... kuang, an official came out and shouted loudly: "Line up, men left and women right, and you can enter the examination room only after the search is correct. .”

An Chuxia saw a long queue of male candidates, and there were no more than ten female students on the right side including herself.

Although it is not necessary to take off all the clothes during the search during the exam, An Chuxia and the others were led into the small room next to them one by one by two female officials for a careful search.

This includes taking off your shoes and untying your hair.

Fortunately, their hair is the same as that of men, only combed into a bun on the top of the head and wrapped in a square scarf.

This greatly reduces the time they spend combing their hair again.

It's the same with the man, because the hair is also spread out during the search, so after the inspection, everyone's hair is a little messy.

After a series of searches, all candidates finally entered the examination compound before dawn.

There are rows of tables spaced out here, and each table has a corresponding number on it.

A group of people stood on the steps of the courtyard, and the person standing at the front was a 40-year-old man wearing a green seventh-rank official uniform. He should be today's chief examiner, the county magistrate.

At this time, an official came out from the side with a booklet in his hand, called the name, and asked the guarantor to claim it. After making sure that it was correct, he took out the wooden card he received when he signed up and sat down to the table number.

After An Chuxia was confirmed by her guarantor, she walked to her seat and glanced at the examination room, only to find that Dong Linlin was sitting not far behind her.

The eyes of the two collided, and the flames flashed by, and the disdain on Dong Linlin's expression became more obvious.

But when all the students were in their positions, the official history distributed the test papers on everyone's desks.

An Chuxia took out all the things she needed for the exam and put them on the table. She put the ink that had been ground in the porcelain pot in advance into the inkstone, which saved the time for grinding.

This body has already gone through the county examination three times, and as expected, the topic specifications of the county examination have not changed much.

An Chuxia has experienced high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination...a series of examinations in modern times.

She has a lot of experience in exams. She has already simulated the county exam questions in the original owner's memory countless times like before the modern college entrance examination.

There are five county exams.

The first session is the main field. There are two essays in four books and one poem in five characters and six rhymes.

Although An Chuxia was confident after reading the papers, she was not arrogant and careless, and she read the papers carefully before answering the questions.

Her calligraphy is not very good, but it is neat.

In addition, An Chuxia is mature in mind, has a deep mind, and is dignified and upright between the lines.

When An Chuxia finished half of the paper, she stopped to drink some water, sat on the chair and closed her eyes to rest.

She had already controlled her time very well, but only after finishing half of the papers did she realize that many students seemed to have just finished reading the papers, studied the ink, and picked up the brushes to answer the questions.

This is overkill.

I don't know if others can't help hitting her when they see that she has finished half of the papers.

In order to keep pace with everyone, An Chuxia felt that she had to wait for other students.

Dong Linlin, who was sitting not far behind, saw An Chuxia sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, with a mocking expression on her fair face.

I thought to myself that idiots are idiots, no matter how many times they come to take the county test, they still hand in blank papers.

Guo Chenglin, the magistrate of Lushan County, who was also standing at the top of the proctor, scanned the examination room and was surprised to find that someone was sleeping during the county examination.

The county magistrate's face, which was fairly fair at first, turned dark immediately, and he actually slept in the examination room where he invigilated the examination, how could he bear it.

So County Magistrate Guo put his hands behind his back and walked in a figure-sighted pace, walking up to the table of the bold female student who had dared to sit on a chair and sleep with her eyes closed during the imperial examination.
