Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 20 First Class Talent

This reminder came at a very inopportune time.

At least for now, Hu Qian still wants to take the exam first.

However, not long after the reminder came out, another candidate was carried out.

This time, the examinees were a little panicked. Although fame is important, life is more important.

Speaking of previous years, it was common for people to die in the examination room.

After all, it is said to be an examination room, but in fact it is almost the same as a toilet.

Hundreds of candidates, one room per person.

Each number room is pitifully small, answering papers, eating, drinking, and sleeping are all inside. In summer, it is hot and fumigated, and in winter it is terribly cold. It is common to die of heat and freeze.

What made it even more uncomfortable was that there was no bed in room No. [-], only two wooden boards, which were used as a table when answering questions during the day, and were disassembled to form a bed board at night.

Moreover, her legs could not be stretched straight, so she could only sleep curled up.

Hu Qian already felt something was wrong at this moment, but since there are no ghosts here, it must be caused by people.

Now it is forbidden to go out, and the sky will fall even if the exam is over.

So he can only answer the questions as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there are only two college exams, otherwise it would be fatal.

Finally, in the evening, the exam was over.

After the students were checked, they left in a hurry.

However, Hu Qian's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and looking back, he saw these examinees were lost in spirit one by one, moving out rather than walking out.

Looking at the academic and political examiner, his eyes were also dazed, and he acted like a zombie, or someone had taken his soul out.

He frowned and went out the door. Suddenly, a student laughed loudly, and then fell directly to the ground.

When Hu Qian stepped forward to look, he found that this person's face was refreshed again, and his lower body was slowly soaked by a pus-like liquid.

He squinted and scanned, but found nothing.

Looking at it like this, could it be that he took a small time-delay pill?
Just as he was thinking, Xu Zhenhu suddenly passed behind him, along with several sons from the restaurant that day.

Several people were chatting and laughing, looking very energetic, as if they didn't notice Hu Qian beside him at all.

Hu Qian shook his head, called Hu Jiu, and hurried to Xu's mansion, ready to bid farewell to Xu Yuanfang.

Due to the relationship between his father and Xu Yuanfang, Hu Qian hesitated again and again, but decided to tell Xu Yuanfang about the strange woman he saw that day.

However, Xu Yuanfang smiled slightly after listening, "Zhenhu was indeed a little ridiculous before, but the prodigal son will not change his money. I think he is much more sensible now, and I know him well. He should not do such a thing."

Hu Qian nodded. As the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost. Some words stop at the end, and too much talk will be annoying.

And while the two were talking, Xu Zhenhu came in from the outside, met Hu Qian, cupped his hands and said, "Your brother came so fast, what are you talking about?"

The words were full of enthusiasm, as if the person who spoke sarcasticly before was not him.

Xu Yuanfang smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, just talk about the exam."

Xu Zhenhu said: "Speaking of exams, my virtuous brother has studied hard these days, it shouldn't be difficult to get selected as a scholar, maybe you can even win the top case."

Hu Qian didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Brother made fun of it, how dare the younger brother compare with the older brother."

Xu Zhenhu said: "Brother, you are too polite. Brother Yu is not talented, and he is not as motivated as you. How dare you think about being a scholar."

The more he said this, the happier Xu Yuanfang was, and felt that his son was humble and polite.

In contrast, Hu Qian complained behind his back, which is not a gentleman.

Hu Qian didn't mention the previous matter anymore, chatted casually for a while, then got up to leave.

When he got home, he first reported to his parents that he was safe, and then returned to the backyard.

Shen Yuzhen and Xiaohuan Xing'er were enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree. When they saw Hu Qian, they immediately walked over happily.

"Master..."

She was about to say something, but Hu Qian hugged her waist, exerted a little force, and turned her around in his arms.

"Miss, do you miss me?"

Shen Yuzhen blushed with shame, glanced at Xiaohuan and Xing'er, and then pressed her head to Hu Qian's chest.

"Concubine..."

Xiaohuan came over and said with a smile: "Master, when you are not around, Miss puts the pillow into your clothes and sleeps with it every night."

Shen Yuzhen snorted, "Xiaohuan, who told you to tell me that." As she spoke, she burrowed into Hu Qian's arms.

Hu Qian laughed, and immediately put aside the strange things in the examination room, and kissed her forehead affectionately.

"Does my husband miss me?"

Hu Qian didn't speak, but responded to her with his body.

She felt it immediately, and couldn't help being surprised and delighted, her heart beat wildly, she exhaled like blue, and her body softened on Hu Qian's body.

Hu Qian chuckled, picked her up by the waist, and went straight to the bedroom.

After a few days of peaceful life, firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the yamen.

Hu Butong was trying to solve the case, when he heard the sound, he immediately thought of something and ran out in joy.

Standing outside the door was an officer in official uniform, bowing and saying: "The young one has announced the good news to the master, Mr. Hu has been selected as a scholar!"

Hu Tong was overjoyed, and wanted to go back and tell Hu Qian, but also thought about the case he hadn't finished yet, and wanted someone to get a reward.

A few thoughts turned around in my mind, and turned around twice in place.

"How is my son's rank?"

"Back to the master, the son is born."

Although they are both scholars, they are also divided into three classes.

The first class is endowed students, and the state provides food on a monthly basis.

The second class is to proliferate and not provide food.

The third class is the attached students, which are the attached students who have just entered school.

Hu Qian was not only a scholar, but also a first-class endowed student. Hu Tong was overjoyed and shouted: "Come here, reward! Ten taels of silver!"

The guard beamed with joy, and thought to himself that it was really worth it for him to send the happy news to the magistrate's son.

After receiving the money, the guard thanked him one after another, and then as if remembering something, he took out a letter and presented it to Hu Butong with both hands.

"My lord, there is also a letter from the magistrate of Shannan Prefecture."

Hu Butong was taken aback, his son was a scholar, how could the magistrate know about it?
However, when he opened it, his face immediately changed in shock.

In the backyard, Hu Butong, Zhao Shi, Hu Qian and Shen Yuzhen sat on both sides.

Although several people were ecstatic about taking the middle life, but the following things made everyone worry.

Shen Yuzhen looked worried, looked at Hu Qian, and couldn't help but said: "This matter has nothing to do with the husband, why did they let him go?"

Zhao said: "Since Qian'er was asked to help, why did he still say that? Qian'er did nothing wrong."

Hu Tong sighed and said: "In the past, Qian'er was white, but now he is a scholar. With fame and fame, you can still resist orders if you are asked to do it? Then do you want to have a future?"

Hu Qian said: "It's nothing, but I didn't expect that even Shannan Mansion would be alarmed."

"Can you not be alarmed? 47 students died all at once..."
