Chapter 301 Let’s go out and play~
The examiners for the Autumn Examination were listed by the Ministry of Rites in Kyoto, and then the officials in charge of the imperial examinations under the Ministry of Rites were sent to various states.
These officials included the chief examiner, the transcribers, the sealers...there were about seven or eight people in total.
They usually arrived at the provincial capital seven days before the autumn examination to inspect and review the examination site.
Xie Yunshan and the governor Wen Shoushi saw off the officials from the Ministry of Works but did not leave the city gate. They had to welcome the examiners for the autumn examination here, so they didn't have to make a trip back and forth.
The two of them walked side by side towards the tea stall at the city gate.
Xie Yunshan yawned sleepily and blinked his sore eyes.
Wen Shoushi poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of him, "Xie Xiaojiang, did you not sleep well yesterday?"
Xie Yunshan rested his chin on his hand, looking into the distance with lifeless eyes.
"It's more than just that I didn't sleep well!" he sighed.
"That little ancestor woke everyone up in the middle of the night and insisted on having a feast!"
In the middle of the night, he had a hearty supper...
It goes without saying who the little ancestor Xie Yunshan is referring to.
Wen Shoushi chuckled and said, "Young lady is not an ordinary person. Her actions and thoughts are also special..."
Hearing this, General Xie rolled his eyes. He could even be praised for this. He was hopeless... hopeless.
Thinking of the examiner they were waiting for, he asked, "Does the governor know who is coming this time?"
"The letter sent from Kyoto said that the chief examiner for this autumn exam was Xu Baiwen from the Ministry of Rites."
"Xu Baiwen..."
Xie Yunshan repeated the name again.
He had some impression of this man, a famous good guy in Beijing.
No party affiliation, no team standing, no offense to anyone...
"It's him who came." He sighed.
Xie Yunshan thought that his father would send someone from the Queen Mother's party to take part in the Autumn Examination and stir up some trouble.
Wen Shoushi understood the deep meaning of the young general's words "it turned out to be him". He held the teacup, lowered his brows, and just thought that what happened just now was a gust of wind blowing past.
The Autumn Examination is a major event for the imperial court...
Moreover, a few days ago, a rumor that the court was incompetent spread among students in the south.
Everyone was discussing the repair of official roads in the north and the increase of taxes for the people.
Today, the southern merchants are recuperating, there is no war outside and no chaos inside, so why is the national treasury empty?
If it is empty, then who will spend the taxes paid every year?
The Xie family, led by the Queen Mother, is almost being scolded like a dog. How dare they make any big moves on this land...
Sending Xu Baiwen was probably a helpless move.
"Governor...? Governor?"
"ah…?"
Wen Shoushi came to his senses and bowed to Xie Yunshan, "I was thinking about something and was lost in thought. What did you say?"
General Xie was curious, "What is the governor thinking about?"
Wen Shoushi's mouth twitched. Can this tell you...
At this moment, he pointed to the repaired official road and said, "Here it comes!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked hurriedly.
Xie Yunshan hurriedly followed, muttering, "Are you in such a hurry?"
They received the chief examiner and took him directly to the prepared autumn examination venue in the city.
At the same time, in the King's Palace,
"Sister~"
Huo Changming, as usual, was leaning on the small window near the bed in Jiang An's courtyard.
"Well…"
The sleepy little girl turned over and rubbed her eyes.
She poked her head out from behind the layers of gauze bed curtains, rested her chin on the bed, and half-closed her sleepy eyes.
"Brother~"
A soft little girl with a sticky tone...
"Hey!" Huo Changming, who was holding a book, grinned from ear to ear.
"Today, all the students from the various county magistrates have arrived in the city. It's very lively outside. Do you want to go out and take a look, sister?"
He would never admit that he wanted to go out and play.
The imperial examination is held every three years, and this kind of excitement is rare!
lively?
Jiang An opened her eyes wide, she loved the hustle and bustle!
She raised her white and tender paws and suggested, "Call Xingsang!"
Huo Changming nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"oops…"
The little girl sat up and scratched her head which was like a chicken coop.
Suddenly she remembered that she hadn’t written to Yuanyuan for a long time!
"Brew~"
"Hurry up and prepare some ink for me!"
The little girl got off the bed barefoot and went straight to her small desk.
With a whistle, a goshawk flew into the house through the window that Huo Changming was clinging to.
The young man felt a chill on his forehead and subconsciously touched his hair.
Fortunately, I am still...
"Gu..."
The goshawk, carrying a cloth bag, landed on the little girl's desk.
Jiang An stuffed the thick letter paper into the cloth bag and patted the goshawk's head, "Fly faster~"
It moved its paws, looking a little proud.
Goshawk: Stop making noise, I have my own rhythm!
Seeing the little messenger flying away, the little girl opened her arms towards Niangniang, her eyes sparkling, "An An wants to wear Bling Bling's clothes today!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Nianniang raised the corners of her lips, opened the young lady's cabinet and box, and started her day's Jiang An brand 'Miracle Nikki'.
Faced with such a delicate little girl, dressing her up every day is a unique pleasure.
Whenever she saw the pretty little girl, she felt particularly satisfied.
Today, Jiang An was wearing a brocade robe with flying flowers and gold embellishments, a necklace inlaid with colored glaze and gold, a bracelet with gold thread flowers and gemstones, and the jade pendant on her waist jingled when she walked.
Huo Changming outside the window had starry eyes and praised her sincerely, "Sister is so pretty~"
Not surprisingly, the little girl smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
He praises his mother all day long and is familiar with this routine.
Sure enough, girls of all ages like to brag.
After leaving the palace, Jiang An and Huo Changming went straight to Li Xingsang's house.
Li family,
When the little girl arrived, Xingsang was still holding a book and studying hard.
Next to him, a cute little girl was sitting, biting her cheek and fanning her brother hard.
Li Xingsang was wearing an outer robe and reading with a look of satisfaction and smile on his face.
What's wrong with it being August? What's wrong with it being cold? Just let his sister fan him!
"Don't bother your brother, you'll catch a cold..."
The autumn examination is about to begin, I can’t get sick!
A woman with her hair tied up in a bun walked out of the house and placed a plate of cakes in front of Li Xingsang.
When Father Li, who brought Jiang An and Huo Changming in, saw this scene, he was so angry that his nose was almost crooked!
His wife hasn't paid any attention to him for half a month and has been hanging around this brat all day long!
Even my precious daughter calls me ‘brother, brother…’ every day!
With a roll of his eyes, he put on a smile and said, "Xingsang..."
Li Xingsang, who was reading, shuddered when he heard the voice.
What is his father going to do again!
He raised his eyes and saw the grinning little girl and Huo Changming.
"Why are you here~" Li Xingsang said in a surprised tone.
Father Li took over the conversation, "Miss is here to find you to go out and play..."
"After studying all day, it's time to go out and relax, don't you think, ma'am~"
As soon as his father opened his mouth, Li Xingsang knew what he meant.
Isn't it just that you think you are getting in the way at home?
He stood up and said to his mother, "Mom, Xing Sang is out."
"Okay, play with the young lady for a while."
Li Xingsang responded and looked at his father, "Xingsang knows, I promise not to return home until the sun sets!"
The last sentence is weird~
