The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 228 Save Xiaosheng!
Shaking his head helplessly, Xie Shen chewed the pancake in his mouth and swallowed it.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

At this moment, Xie Shen truly understood the truth of this sentence.

The content of the exam on the second day was very complicated, not only about judgments, but also about internal medicine.Choose one of these three questions, Xie Shen has no strengths in this part, at most he can only do not hold back.

Therefore, this day is a bit boring. The teenager hurriedly finished the exam content and began to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Fortunately, it didn't rain again today, otherwise it would really affect the mood of the exam.

After eating some pancakes to satisfy his hunger, Xie Shenfang felt that his energy and blood were relieved, and when he wanted to take a nap, he heard a sound from the building next to the west.

This sound is very strange, it seems to be
It seems to be the sound of an earthquake!
Xie Shen subconsciously leaned out to look outside the dormitory. Could it be an earthquake?

Fortunately, he was not so unlucky that there was no earthquake in Gongyuan.

what is that?
The internal structure of the house of the Gongyuan is very simple, and the ground is made of original soil.

It's better to catch up with sand and gravel, but catch up with mud, once it rains, the house will become a mud pond.

Fortunately, the ground under Xie Shen's feet has a lot of sand and rocks, so he won't be stuck in the mud for a while.

but
This sound is more like the sound of a shovel hitting sand and stone than an earthquake!

Could it be that the candidates in his dormitory to the west were digging the ground?

Xie Shen always thought that the word "digging three feet into the ground" was an exaggeration, but it was strange to have heard it with his own ears today.

After thinking about it, Xie Shen immediately understood what the fellow in the nearby dormitory was doing.

Digging three feet into the ground in the tribute courtyard house and making such a big commotion must be cheating!

When Xie Shen read some wild history miscellaneous notes in his previous life, he also read similar things.

It is said that during the provincial examinations of some chief ministers, the examinees would bribe the officials in the Gongyuan, and bury the Four Books and Five Classics, Zhu Ziji Annotations, etc. in the hall in advance.These officials have been colluding for a long time, and those candidates who spent money will happen to be assigned to the dormitory where they have been manipulated.

But what made Xie Shen feel puzzled was that there was such a big commotion here, why didn't the inspection officials come to scold him?Could it be that all the officials in the Gongyuan have been bribed?How much money does this cost.

Xie Shen subconsciously coughed, but did not respond.
Now the young man can be sure that the inspectors and the examinee are in the same group.

Then, the next question is whether he should jump out and correct this guy for cheating?

If he jumps out, he will be the No. 1 fraud in the provincial examination inspection tools in Zhejiang Province, and he has credit.

However, there are risks in doing so. For example, the cheating examinee jumps over the wall and bites him, and insists on pulling Xie Shen as a backing.
But if you don't report this guy and let him dig three feet so arrogantly, Xie Shen can't bear it anymore.

Just when Xie Shen was hesitating, two officials in soap suits suddenly walked out from the nearby dormitory.

and many more
Why is this script different from Xie Shen's imagination?

Could it be that the Gongyuan has already provided door-to-door service?

But Xie Shen quickly noticed the mud on the two officials.

Shouldn't the ground adjacent to the house be dominated by rocks?
Immediately, Xie Shen noticed a dirty water channel flowing from the adjacent building.

Uh.
Xie Shen suddenly understood something, it must be a coincidence
The complaints of the two officials destroyed the boy's last fantasy. You can imagine the two officials speaking with a Shaoxing accent complained: "God, this thief who killed a thousand knives just happened to rain a few days before the exam. The canal has been deserted for almost two years, and it needs to be repaired now, isn't it killing people?"

"Who said it wasn't? This stone the size of a millstone directly blocked the mouth of the canal. Our brothers didn't know how much energy they had wasted just by smashing this stone. It's really annoying."

"It's enough to just smash the stones, the smell is really bad."

"Hey, don't complain about it, finish your work early and relax early."

There are no candidates in this neighboring dormitory!

No wonder he felt that this place was unusually quiet, no wonder the official looked at him with pity when he was assigned to receive the number plate in the dormitory, no wonder the official who came to hand out the test papers kept frowning and pinching his nose, no wonder .
It turned out that his house was next to the drain!
Xie Shen wanted to raise his head to the sky and scream, and then straightened his chest and asked the examiner to change his dormitory, otherwise he would not take the provincial test!

The drainage canal is the dirtiest place. It is fine on weekdays. Once it rains heavily, all kinds of mud and dirt are mixed in it. It is not much cleaner than a toilet.

There is only one smell in the latrine, the smell of the drain is really mixed
But reason told Xie Shen that he had to endure.

If he proposes to change houses now, it will become the focus of much attention.

That's really a lot of attention, and it depends on the time to earn your reputation. It's obviously not suitable for a serious and formal occasion like the rural examination.

Endure for a while, let alone only one game left.

I didn't feel it just now, but as soon as the mouth of the drain was dredged, the smell spread out, which was really disgusting.

Xie Shen clasped his palms together and said silently: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, please save the living beings.

After the second exam, the third policy discussion was left, and it was August [-]th in a blink of an eye.Xie Shen came to the Gong Yuan the night before and entered the hall ahead of time.

This was because candidates were late for the first two rounds, and the chief examiner Ji An ordered all candidates to enter the Tribute Court for the third round the night before the exam.

At night, a round of bright moon hangs high in the night sky, which is extraordinarily bright and dazzling.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the eighth year of Hongzhi was not fundamentally different from previous years. Every family reunited and enjoyed a rare and pleasant time.

For the candidates who took the provincial examination in the Gongyuan, they obviously did not enjoy the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the day, the houses of the tribute courtyard that look neatly arranged like a chessboard turn out to be as gloomy as a cemetery at night.And the houses are like bulging graves.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Gongyuan has been used for too long and has not undergone large-scale renovations.

Generally speaking, the Gongyuan will only be used once during the rural examination period, and then it will be locked and wait for the examination to start again in three years. Except for catching snakes and weeding before the examination, there will be no more value-added services.

After all, it costs money to repair the Gongyuan. Where does the money come from?
It stands to reason that the Qiantang and Renhe counties under the jurisdiction of the Hangzhou government are responsible, and so is the government office.But most of them will push the responsibility to the governor and chief envoy's yamen.
