Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 256
On the day of the county examination, Mrs. Chen stayed up all night and got up before dawn to make breakfast. She made two thin pancakes the size of an iron pot and filled them with water in a bamboo tube.After Du Jinning got up, she went to check her test basket again, and put food and water in it.

Du Jinning said helplessly: "Mom, I said you don't need to prepare food for me. I guess I'll be out by noon, and I'll be there for lunch when I go home."

"What if you encounter a difficult problem and do not go well? Do you stay in there hungry for most of the day, or come out after hastily doing the problem for lunch?" Chen gave her a white look, "You have to be fully prepared. No There is a saying, is it called being prepared?"

"Okay, you are right." Du Jinning could only say.

"Mother knows that you don't want to eat food that others have kneaded with their own hands, so Mother specially spread out thin cakes, the kind that can see through the light, and let them pick them up to have a look at them when they check, and they don't need to crush them. Then you can just tear off the edge when you eat." Chen said.

This is what she specially learned from Xie and Zhang.

"My mother, you are thoughtful." Du Jinning patted his ass, took the last bite of food, took the wet towel handed over by Du Fanghui, wiped his face and hands, stood up, and lifted the test basket, "Let's go .”

Du Fangfei took the basket and said, "I'll take it."

Seeing that the three of them were going out, Du Fangling and Du Fanghui hurriedly begged, "Can we go too?"

"What are you going to do?" Du Jinning turned around, "My mother and eldest sister also sent me to the examination room, so I went to stay at Xu's house instead of waiting outside."

The reason why she didn't stop Chen Shi and Du Fangfei was because both Chen Shi and Du Fangfei were worried that her daughter would be discovered and would not be able to sit still at home.There is no need for Du Fangling and Du Fanghui to join in the fun.

"Dried tofu and eggs don't need to be marinated?" Mrs. Chen turned around and gave Du Fangling a look, "Work hard at home." Saying that, she went out with Du Fangfei and Du Jinning.

It was still dark at this time, and there was a certain distance from here to the county school, so Mrs. Chen specially ordered a mule cart.At this time, the mule cart and driver were waiting outside.

Seeing them coming out, the coachman rushed forward to take the test basket, but Du Fangfei avoided his hand and said: "It's not heavy, we can take it by ourselves."

After getting into the carriage, she told Du Jinning softly: "You must take the test basket yourself after a while, and don't let others carry it. If someone puts something in your test basket, you will not be able to tell if you jumped into the Yellow River."

All these, the masters of the academy have confessed.

Du Jinning smiled and asked Du Fangfei, "This is what your brother-in-law told you?"

Du Fangfei blushed, but still nodded.

She has been married to Xu Chengyuan for half a year, the husband and wife are loving, and Mrs. Xie treats her very well.

Du Jinning and Chen Shi looked at each other, both very relieved.

"That aunt of yours still keeps talking to you? Don't be too thin-skinned to drive her away, be careful that your mother-in-law is angry." Chen said.

Xu Chengyuan's aunt who used to force them to pay off their debts, ever since she saw Du Fangfei's dowry when they got married, she was so affectionate to Du Fangfei. Make friends with Du Fangfei.

Du Fangfei nodded and said, "I know. Although I'm good-natured, I'm not the one who doesn't know right from wrong. I ignore her when she comes every day, and she doesn't come now."

"That's right. You live your life on your own. If you don't handle these things well, even if you marry a good family, you will still have an unhappy life..."

About the county examination, Mrs. Chen has been nagging Du Jinning for the past few days, and said harsh words, saying that if she continued, she would be so nervous that she would not be able to sleep.

So at this time, Mrs. Chen didn't dare to nag Du Jinning, so she had to tell Du Fangfei some homework to ease her nervousness.

Before you know it, the county school has arrived.When Du Jinning got out of the car, several people greeted him: "Du Jinning, you are here."

She turned her head and saw that it was Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan, Zhang Hongwen and Xu Chengyuan.

Xu Chengyuan saw his mother-in-law, wife, and brother-in-law coming, so he hurried up to say hello to Mrs. Chen.

"Why are you all here? It's just a county test, do you need to work hard?" Du Jinning walked over and said with a smile.

"Hey, it seems that you have confidence in yourself." Guan Jiaze punched Du Jinning, "You are allowed to see you off during our county examination, but we are not allowed to see you off."

"Okay, okay." Now that everyone is here, Du Jinning naturally has to accept everyone's kindness.

Qi Muyuan took a look at Du Jinning and smiled: "It seems quite relaxed, not nervous at all."

"That's right, it doesn't matter who it is." Du Jinning laughed.

In her previous life, she had passed countless major and minor exams. Even the gray-headed old man in the county's exam hall may not have taken as many exams as her.Besides, she sees these fame like floating clouds, so naturally she won't be nervous.

"You still have a big heart. Although I didn't refer to it this year, I started to panic when I saw you enter the arena." Zhang Hongwen laughed.

The master of the academy said that Zhang Hongwen was not ready yet, and suggested that he take the exam next year, so he did not take the county exam this year.

Du Jinning patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.

According to Zhang Hongwen's situation, he should have taken the exam this year. It doesn't matter if he fails the exam, at least he has passed the big exam once, and he will feel much more relaxed when he takes the exam again next year.

But the academy also has its own considerations, just like the college entrance examination before the expansion of enrollment in the previous life, the school will screen out some students during the graduation exam and advise them not to take the college entrance examination, so that it will not affect the school's college entrance examination admission rate.The same is true for colleges. If there are only ten people who take the exam and six of them are selected by the county, that is a [-]% success rate.But if all [-] students in Class A came to take the exam, and the six were selected, the success rate would be only [-]%, and the reputation would be bad.

And some candidates, the more they take the test, the more nervous they become, and the more nervous they are, the more they fail the test.Therefore, encouraging students to take the exam before the fire is ready is not necessarily a good way.

Afraid that Du Jinning would be nervous, everyone didn't talk about the exam, but just chatted about the teahouse and bookstore.But not long after, the sound of the gong was heard, and it was time to enter, and the masters of the academy began to call the students.Du Jinning took the test basket carried by Xu Chengyuan, waved to everyone, and walked to the gate of the county school.

Both Chen Shi and Du Fangfei secretly clenched their fists, staring closely at Du Jinning's figure.

Xu Chengyuan thought they were worried that Du Jinning would not do well in the exam, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, with Jinning's level, he could pass the county exam last year, let alone study in the academy for another year. This kind of exam , it’s a small problem for him, don’t worry about it at all.”

Guan Jiaze and the others also comforted him.

Chen smiled stiffly and thanked everyone for their kindness: "I know, thank you all." But his eyes were still fixed on Du Jinning.

　Thank you for the 365 starting coins of Star 2000 in the night sky, the 500 starting coins for Mi Jinxi, and the 160607225447373 starting coins for Dongli Caiju, liwudhap, and book friends 100.
