Chapter 298 Sick Exam

The latest website: Time flies, there is no news of war in the northeast frontier, but news of the war in the northwest comes from time to time. Zhulan is worried about her three nephews. As the township examination is approaching, Zhulan's attention is on Zhou Shuren.

The whole family of the Zhou family was very nervous. Even though the sons of the Zhou family had great confidence in their father, they still worried about it. The grandchildren stopped playing around, and the yard of the Zhou family was very quiet every day.

Zhulan was unavoidably nervous, even if she believed that Zhou Shuren would definitely pass, but the closer it was, the more she feared accidents. Before the provincial examinations, the academic and political associations of each province organized an examination in advance, and only those with excellent grades were allowed to participate in the rural examinations.

Zhou Shuren passed it smoothly, and the results, ahem, ranked second, and Wu Ming ranked first.

There are special examination rooms for the rural examinations, and the examination rooms in each prefecture city are in the southeast direction. The examination room is the Gongyuan.

Candidates spent three days in the grid room of the examination room. Zhulan listened to Zhou Shuren's science popularization. The grid room for the exam was very small. Two boards were combined to form a bed, and when disassembled it became a table and chairs.

The ancients were very wise, and both boards are flexible and changeable.

Zhulan and Li Shi put a lot of thought into eating, just to make Zhou Shuren eat better.

Having said that, fortunately, the temperature in August in the Northeast is neither too cold nor too hot, and the exam can be more comfortable. Unlike the south, there are some pitfalls. Guangdong is still very hot in August!

Originally, it was uncomfortable enough to be in the exam room with the same grid. Staying in the sweltering weather for three days especially affected the mood of the exam.

The day before the exam, Zhou's family didn't have a meal, Zhulan was very clear in her heart, and all the houses were afraid that it would affect Zhou Shuren's responsibility!

On the contrary, Zhou Shuren was the least nervous. He should eat and drink, and had a good night's sleep.

After eating early in the morning on the second day, Zhou Shuren was going to the examination room to enter the Gongyuan in advance. Zhulan checked twice to make sure nothing was left behind, and then sent Zhou Shuren to the Gongyuan in person.

Outside the tribute courtyard, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the tribute courtyard, and there were even more carriages at the entrance, and the carriages couldn't get through. Zhou Lao Er looked at the carriages, and Zhulan and Zhou Boss sent Zhou Shuren to line up.

After Zhou Shuren lined up, Zhulan and Boss Zhou did not leave, waiting for Zhou Shuren to enter before leaving.

The inspection of the Tribute Court is very strict, not only checking the things brought, but also checking the people,

There are two sheds at the entrance of the Gongyuan, which are specially used to check the candidates' clothes. When they enter, they have to take off their clothes for inspection. There is no meaning of humiliation, just to prevent people from cheating.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhou Shuren successfully entered the inspection. The inspection was really strict. The examinee's hair was checked. Zhou Shuren, an examinee who couldn't comb his hair, had messy hair, which made Zhulan embarrassing.

Boss Zhou was also quite speechless, he really didn't expect that father can't comb his hair, he is such a stupid person who can comb hair, seeing that father has entered the Gongyuan, Boss Zhou is also relieved, "Mom, let's go home!"

Zhulan glanced at the Gongyuan again and said, "Well, let's go back."

It will be three days later when I come back again. There will be three township exams, three days each. Those with weak bones will really be unbearable. Fortunately, Zhou Shuren's body has been trained well.

Seeing his mother and eldest brother come back, Zhou Laoer knew that his father had successfully entered the examination room, so he put his heart back into his stomach.

On the way back, Zhulan ran into Mrs. Wu and Li who was walking back, and signaled Zhou Lao Er to stop the car, "Auntie, uncle, let's go back by car together!"

Wu Lishi waved his hand, "My uncle and I are very panicked. We can walk back slowly and feel at ease. You go back first!"

Zhulan said: "Then I'll go first."

"Let's go!"

There were quite a lot of carriages on the way back, and the speed was incomparable to the time when I came. When I got home, I waited for the letter at home to know that I had successfully entered the examination room, and my heart was relieved.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren dealt with their son and daughter-in-law severely once, this time no one dared to ask Zhulan's ear, and tried to avoid Zhulan, fearing that Zhulan was in a bad mood and would be angered.

Three days passed quickly, the first exam was over, this time Zhulan and her two sons went to the gate early to guard.

As soon as the gate opened, the gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people, all of them were relatives who lived in Pingzhou City or came to accompany the exam.

It’s best for Zhou Shuren to recognize it. If the hair is more messy, it’s right. Some people faint when they go out. This is because they are weak. Zhou Shuren strode out, and he is in good spirits.

Zhulan felt relieved, and curled her lips, "Get in the car, I'll comb your hair."

Zhou Shuren coughed, "En."

He also tried combing his hair himself, and the current look is the best he has ever done.

Zhou Er Er hurriedly took the box from his father, "Father, I will help you get into the car."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Don't think he didn't see Zhou Lao Er's mouth twitching. In the past, Zhulan helped comb his hair at home. The children in the family really didn't know that he couldn't comb his hair. This time they all knew.

Back in the carriage, I couldn't leave for a while, the carriage behind was blocked, Zhulan's family only came with one carriage, and some big families had several!

Zhulan combed Zhou Shuren's hair and asked, "How are you resting these days?"

Zhou Shuren, "Except that the place is smaller, it's okay to rest."

Thanks to the two long trips, the conditions in the Gongyuan at least don't worry about safety, and it's good for him to rest at night.

Zhulan knew that Zhou Shuren didn't lie to her, she could tell from her mental head, she combed Zhou Shuren's hair, "The hot water at home is ready, go back and take a good bath."

Zhou Shuren nodded and said, "I hope the weather for the remaining two games will be as good as it is now."

Zhulan also hopes that it is not hot these days, and there is still a small wind blowing from time to time, and more importantly, there is no cloud in the sky. The most feared thing in the exam is rain. If it rains, it must not be interrupted, although there is a place to shelter from the rain , but the moisture will affect the mood, and it will not be good to rest at night. The most important thing is that I am afraid of catching a cold and getting sick.

The carriage waited for a while before the road ahead was cleared. It was an hour after returning home, Zhou Shuren went to take a bath first.

Mrs. Li cooked a large table of dishes, and Zhulan specially asked the boss to buy a sheep and kill it, just to make up for Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren went back to lie down and rest after taking a bath and eating.

The Zhou family was still careful not to make any noise.

Zhulan washed Zhou Shuren's changed clothes, and after washing, prepared Zhou Shuren's clothes for the next exam.

The Zhou family served Zhou Shuren as soon as they arrived at home, until the last exam was over.

After the last exam, some people fell ill in the tribute hospital, some people cried loudly, and there were various situations.

No matter how good Zhou Shuren's spirit was, his mind was relaxed after the exam. After Zhulan combed Zhou Shuren's hair, Zhou Shuren went to sleep.

Zhou Shuren slept for a long time this time, and after sleeping for almost a day, Zhulan asked Boss Zhou to wash and change clothes for Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren had enough sleep and rested, and all that was left was to wait for the grades.

Even after the exam was over, Zhou's family was still quiet, Zhou Shuren was very calm, and still in the mood to go out and meet Zhao Bo.

Zhulan's attention has always been on Zhou Shuren. When Wu Yan came, Zhulan knew that Wu Ming insisted on finishing the exam with illness. The Wu family was worried about the grades, so Wu Yan couldn't come these days. Stay at home to take care of Wu Ming.

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back and said to Zhou Shuren, "Wu Ming is sick for the exam, will you pass him?"
