Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 73
I couldn't help but wait for the day when I would be released from prison.As the last day of the examination came, Wang Daoqiu got up early in the morning, used the toilet, washed up, heated up all the last food he had in the dormitory, and swallowed it.He twisted his neck and twisted his buttocks in the cell, preparing for the freedom that was about to arrive.

Made!During these nine days and seven nights of trouble, he couldn't eat well, sleep well, and even a fat pig like a dead fat man has become thin and thin like a Chinese garden dog.Ma De, hurry up, hurry up, Lao Zhi is going out.

While doing aerobics, I pray that time will go faster, please go faster!Finally, amidst Wang Daoqiu's endless calls, near noon, the "immortal sound" he had been waiting for came from the examination room.

I only heard a guard shouting loudly in the alleyway at the end of the dormitory: "It's time for the first batch of cards to be placed. If there are candidates who have finished their studies and want to hand in their papers, they can ring the bell at the door to signal them to hand in their papers."

Upon hearing this, Wang Daoqiu jumped up instinctively, and rang the copper bell at the door, and then he heard the entire examination room, the copper bell rang together.And those who pulled the bells were all the same as Wang Daoqiu, they didn't know if they were just trying to attract the attention of the guards, or they were expressing their desire to survive. Anyway, they just kept pulling the copper bell to keep it ringing.

Just gritting his teeth and pulling the copper bell excitedly, Wang Daoqiu finally waited for the collector to arrive.This collector is still the same Gao Gong who had a very bad impression of Wang Daoqiu.

Gao Gong came to Wang Daoqiu's house before and had collected two volumes of papers.Every time he came, Wang Daoqiu slept soundly on the kang, leaving Gao Gong only the written test paper, a few drafts and a reminder of "take the test paper yourself, I will take a nap, please do not disturb".

This time, Gao Gong finally saw Wang Daoqiu who was awake.However, Wang Daoqiu just wants to get out as soon as possible, and he doesn't care what the collector looks like!

So Gao Gong stood there to supervise the officers sealing the examination papers, while Wang Daoqiu faced them and collected his gifts on the Kang.

After the officer finished sealing and collected Wang Daoqiu's test papers, Gao Gong didn't bother to talk nonsense with Wang Daoqiu. He put down a release card on the table and went to collect the test papers from other dormitories.

After carrying his packed luggage and getting his pass, Wang Daoqiu was escorted out of the examination room by a servant who was waiting for him at the door of the dormitory.

The Ming Dynasty examination had regulations. After the examination, the candidates appeared in three batches: one at noon, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

Wang Daoqiu was the first batch. When he got here, the gate of the tribute courtyard had not been opened yet, so he had to wait here for the soldiers outside to unlock it.

But the waiting time was not boring, because he saw the dead fat man Jiang Zhijian here.Sure enough, the fat man was just like me, he didn't want to stay in this tribute courtyard for a second longer.

Seeing the fat man staring at the door with a desperate look on his face, waiting for someone to open the door, Wang Daoqiu walked over to him and joked in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, stop looking! If you look again, be careful to open the gate of Gongyuan." If you see through it, then this is not just a matter of losing money!"

"Ouch, Liangzhen, you can't bear it anymore. Hey, have you seen Uncle Shuda, Yizhi and Brother Shi Ting?"

Hearing Wang Daoqiu's voice, the fat man hurriedly turned his head.He was very happy to see Wang Daoqiu.Then he remembered Zhang Juzheng, Yuan Hongyu, and Yin Zhengmao, so he asked Wang Daoqiu if he had seen those three people, while he stood on tiptoe and began to search among the crowd.

The fat man's search really made him see Zhang Juzheng, who was rushing towards the door.As soon as he saw Zhang Juzheng, the fat man shouted excitedly to Wang Daoqiu: "Liangzhen Liangzhen, my uncle is here."

After excitedly shouting this to Wang Daoqiu, the fat man stood on tiptoe and waved his hands, shouting to Zhang Juzheng: "Uncle, uncle, here, here."

The fat man's appearance among a group of elegant people is like an ostrich standing among a group of cranes, very recognizable.Coupled with his waving and shouting, Zhang Juzheng, who was rushing here, saw him soon.So Zhang Juzheng quickened his pace and soon came to Fatty and Wang Daoqiu.

As soon as he stood still, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "Zhijian, Liangzhen, you are also the first batch!"

"Yes, yes, we are all the first batch. By the way, Brother Shu, have you seen Brother Shi Ting and Brother Yizhi?"

Seeing Zhang Juzheng coming, the fat man still did not forget to ask him about Yin Zhengmao and Yuan Hongyu.After listening to the fat man's words, Zhang Juzheng said: "Brothers Shi Ting and Yi Zhi are both old and stable people who can endure hardships. I think they will definitely be the last ones to appear today. "

"That's true, this is their nature. Then our celebration banquet today can only be arranged in the evening." Wang Daoqiu said regretfully when he heard Zhang Juzheng said that Yin Zhengmao and Yuan Hongyu would definitely be the last ones to show up today.

When the fat man heard that he had to wait until night before he could have a big meal, he immediately stopped and said to Wang Daoqiu: "Why do we have to wait until night? After we go out, the three of us will go have a big meal first. When brothers Shi Ting and Yizhi come back, the five of us will go have a big meal together." "Yes, yes, dear brother Liangzhen, these nine days and seven nights have been very hard for me. I will go back and take a shower, then I have to go and have a big meal. To tell you the truth, brother, if you are hungry now, you can eat a cow."

"That's right. When we get back, we'll go to a restaurant for a big meal. I'll treat you to it."

Fatty and Zhang Juzheng both said so, but Wang Daoqiu still pretended to be brotherly.So he borrowed Po Xia's donkey and agreed to go out. He would go home to take a shower, and then go to a restaurant for a big meal.

The three of them chatted like this, and after the first batch of more than 3000 candidates had arrived, the door of the tribute courtyard was opened.Then, everyone suppressed the ecstasy of regaining freedom in their hearts, and walked out of the Gongyuan in a dignified manner with airs and official steps.

Today is the day when nearly ten thousand people are "released after serving their sentences." All operating vehicles in the capital have gathered at the gate of the Gongyuan. There are mules, carriages, sedans, and a "bang" with a shoulder pole and a rope tied to it.There are so many people and drivers, gathered at the gate of the Gongyuan, it really feels like going to a big market for a while.

Wang Daoqiu and the others hired a mule cart to go back. The fat man got off the car on the way and ordered a banquet at a restaurant where he thought the food was very authentic. He paid the deposit and said he would come over to eat in half an hour.

After returning home in a mule cart, the courtyard door was wide open. As soon as she heard the sound of the mule cart at the door, Sister Qiu immediately ran out with the little girl Sanniang in her arms.

As soon as Mrs. Qiu saw Zhang Juzheng, who was the first to get off the carriage, she quickly put down the little girl Sanniang, stepped forward to help Zhang Juzheng get off the carriage, and asked with concern: "Mr. Zhang, are all the gentlemen back?" "

"Master Jiang and Wang Jieyuan and I are back. Master Yin and Master Yuan are still taking exams in Gongyuan! They won't be back until night."

"Oh, hello, it's hard for a few masters, it's too hard."

Following Zhang Juzheng, Fatty and Wang Daoqiu also got out of the carriage and got off the carriage.Seeing Fatty and Wang Daoqiu, Mrs. Qiu felt warm again, and even helped the three of them to salute.

These luggage were wasted in the Gongyuan for nine days and seven nights!So after taking it back to the hospital, I put it next to the well and waited for Sister Qiu to come and wash it later.

After putting down his luggage, Wang Daoqiu finally had his hands free, so instead of rushing back to the room like Fatty and Zhang Juzheng, he picked up the "sweet" little girl Sanniang and asked her gently: : "Little San Niang, have you missed Uncle these days?"

"Yes, little Sanniang misses her uncle. Uncle likes Sanniang and will give her peach cakes."

"Ouch, you greedy guy, you actually want to trick your Uncle Wang into eating peach cakes. Come down quickly, come down quickly, your Uncle Wang is tired from the exam and has to take a bath."

After talking about the mistress, Mrs. Qiu said to Wang Daoqiu: "Master Zhang and Master Yin, before the exam, they gave instructions that the masters will come out after the exam today. Let the slave family boil hot water in advance and give the masters a bath. The slave family Before noon, the stoves in each room were lit and the water was boiled there. Mr. Jie Yuan also had one in your room. In this way, since Mr. Yin and Mr. Yuan will not come back until night, the slave family will put Mr. Yin, Mr. Yuan and the kitchen stove Please share the hot water served with Mr. Jie Yuangong, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhang!"

"Okay, Sister Qiu, that's it. I'll ask them to get hot water themselves."

"No, no, no, Duke Jie Yuang, I will give it to you."

"No need to go to such trouble, you can just get it yourself."

After talking to Sister Qiu, Wang Daoqiu shouted to the fat man and Zhang Juzheng, asking the fat man to use the hot water from the kitchen stove, Zhang Juzheng to use the hot water from Yin Zhengmao's room, and Wang Daoqiu to use the hot water from Yuan Hongyu's room.

I turned on the hot water and took a comfortable bath. Wang Daoqiu was feeling great!Not long after, the damn fat man came and told him to get dressed quickly and go to a restaurant for dinner.
