Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 97 Dark tricks
In August, students from various prefectures and counties rushing to take exams all gathered in Jinling City.

This caused inns and wine shops all over the city to be overcrowded.

There are many well-known candidates who take part in the provincial examination. Historically, before each Jinling rural examination, these people have to look for opportunities to compete.

This ten-mile Qinhuai wind and moon field is a good place for them to show their talents and gain fame.

However, the situation this year is a little different. Compared with previous years, the talents are much more low-key this year.

Because there is a big tiger in Jinling City now, these little monkeys naturally don't dare to be too high-profile.

Talented people like Jia Qiong are studying hard behind closed doors. Isn't it ridiculous that these so-called talented people are competing for fame with poems and essays outside.

Therefore, most of this year's students stayed in the inns to study, causing the turnover of each brothel and house to be far lower than the same period.

The eighth day of August is the first day of the provincial examination.

Jia Qiong came to Gongyuan Square again this time with three times more things than before, looking for the lanterns from Jiangning County.

Most of the candidates in Jiangning County knew Jia Qiong and greeted him one after another, including many acquaintances from Yingtian Academy.

Wang Yi smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, how about we make a bet this time?"

"How do you bet?"

"If the people in our academy rank higher than you, you can invite us to drink wine together.

If you rank the highest, how about we invite you together. "

Jia Qiong shook his head and said, "Not interested."

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't you dare?"

Jia Qiong glanced at him and said, "You actually want me to drink flower wine. I have to tell your sister about this."

"..." Wang Yi.

Jia Qiong arrived a little late this time, and within a few minutes of standing there, waves of gongs sounded.

A group of officers and soldiers took the lead to clear the way, and the sedan chair of Jinling Governor Zhu Youzhen came on stage later.

As the invigilator of this provincial examination and the one with the highest official position, this gentleman must be the finale.

At this time, the dragon gate slowly opened, and all the officials inside came out to greet him.

Mr. Zhu, who was wearing a bright red golden pheasant uniform, got off the sedan chair, walked into the dragon gate with his head held high, talked about the examination discipline, and then announced his entrance.

The prison officer then began to let the students enter the venue in order of each county.

The search in the rural examination is even more stringent than that in the college examination. If a candidate is found to be involved in the examination room, the officers and soldiers responsible for the search and the prison officer will be jointly and severally punished, so these people search very carefully.

Jia Qiong also tasted the tightness of her anus for the first time. It was really unpleasant, but what made Jia Qiong even more uncomfortable was what came next.

Jiangning County is Fuguo County of Jinling, so it must be the first two counties to enter Gongyuan. This time Jia Qiong also entered early.

Jia Qiong searched around with her number plate and finally found her exam booth in a corner.

But they discovered that this examination shed was not only a temporary straw shed, but also the closest to the toilet. This was definitely the worst "rain whistle" and "stinky whistle" in the legend!
Jia Qiong had every reason to suspect that this examination room was definitely arranged deliberately by He Zhongdao.

Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that he happened to be in a place like this.

The exam hasn't started yet, but Jia Qiong can already smell a vague odor.

When the exam starts, thousands of people will poop and urinate here, and the smell will definitely be a hundred times worse!
Jia Qiong wanted to stuff He Zhongdao into the manure pit and drown him, but he knew it was useless to get angry, so he still tried to calm down.

After entering the examination shed, he first carefully laid the roof of the examination shed with oilcloth and hung the door curtain to ensure that the roof would not leak.

Then she took out a few sachets prepared by Wang Yuyan just in case and hung them up to cover up the faint smell.Finally, all kinds of daily necessities were taken out of the bags one by one and placed neatly in categories.

After doing this, Jia Qiong's mind completely calmed down.

He secretly made up his mind that he must get good grades this time and not let He Zhongdao succeed in his treacherous plan.

As time passed, the examination booths around Jia Qiong gradually filled up with people. Many candidates collapsed emotionally when they saw that they were assigned to such a place.

Some cried, some cursed, and some complained, but none could be as calm as Jia Qiong.

Because there were so many people taking part in the provincial examination and they brought a lot of things with them, the search took a long time.

By the time all the candidates have entered the venue, it will probably be noon. Jia Qiong feels that waiting is a waste of time.

So I took out the charcoal stove and the small copper kettle, cooked myself a large bowl of noodles, and ate it with the pickles.

The students around who were crying and shouting were all shocked when they saw this scene. They thought to themselves that this person was so worried and could still eat in a place like this.

There happened to be someone here who knew Jia Qiong, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Jia, don't you feel angry being assigned to a place like this? How can you still eat?"

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "Whoever said that the rain number and the bad number will definitely fail the exam, I, Jia Qiong, don't believe this evil.

Blaming others will not do any good in the exam, and getting angry will only affect my state.

After ten years of hard work, should we give up just because of this difficulty? "

After finishing speaking, Jia Qiong ignored everyone, directly put the two number boards together into a bed, lay on it and fell asleep.

After listening to Jia Qiong's words, the students around them stopped crying and complaining. They all followed Jia Qiong's example and began to tidy up their own examination booths.

The weather is cool in the morning, so I woke up early today. Now I feel a little sleepy after eating and drinking, so I can have a good sleep.

Jia Qiong actually slept surprisingly peacefully. When the examiner handed out the papers, he found that some candidates had already begun to fall asleep, thinking that they were really rotten wood that cannot be carved.

He knocked on the door and beam and shouted, "Wake up, the papers are released."

Jia Qiong woke up, stood up, took the test paper, and stretched out.

Only then did the officer see that this person was Jia Qiong. He was shocked and wondered how could this little poetry fairy be assigned to such a place.

But now was not the time to explore the reasons. He suppressed the questions in his mind and continued to hand out papers.

The soldiers next to him then stepped forward and locked the door of Jia Qiong's cell.

In the next three days, this door cannot be opened except to go to the toilet or hand in papers.

The provincial examination takes three days, and the number of questions is naturally far greater than before.

Jia Qiong checked the test paper and found that there were five questions on the Five Classics and four questions on the Four Books. On average, there were three questions a day. This was not difficult for Jia Qiong.

As usual, Jia Qiong looked at the first and most important question, which was: Cai Ren killed Chen Tuo.

This phrase comes from "Spring and Autumn Period, Sixth Year of Duke Huan".

The original text is: The first month of spring comes.In the fourth month of summer, Guild Jihou Yu Cheng.Autumn and August, Renwu, great reading.Cai people killed Chen Tuo.On Ding Mao in the ninth month, the son was born at the same time.In winter, Marquis Ji came to court.

"Spring and Autumn" is the first chronological history book in Chinese history. The language is extremely concise, but it contains rich content.

Later generations called it "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" and "Small Words with Great Meaning".

If you want to read the Spring and Autumn Period, you must have a very deep understanding of that period of history.

Jia Qiong is well-read, so naturally he has a solution to this problem very quickly.
