Ji Shaohuai was touched, but he couldn't bear to watch his classmates miss the opportunity to take the imperial examination.
"Is there no way to do it?"
"If you can't tell me directly, then I'll just make insinuations."
Wang Sheng smiled and patted Ji Shaohuai. shoulder: "Those who are willing will understand, and those who are not willing don't have to force it."
Since the case of falling into the water two years ago was settled, Ji Shaohuai asked the Hang family and learned that Hang Yudong's mother and sister chose to live away from here. Later, I took a ten-day leave from school and escorted them to the new provincial capital.
He used to not have much contact with his classmates. Since returning that time, he has taken the initiative to get close to those students from poor families.
If Yang Zimei is a well-rounded and popular person when it comes to making friends, then Ji Shaohuai has gone through many hardships and finally squeezed into a circle that did not originally belong to him.
Those people were naturally wary of Ji Shaohuai at first, but seeing that Wang Sheng was a farmer's son and had not been sent to do any shady activities around Ji Shaohuai, they gradually let down their guard.
Ji Shaohuai approached them and helped them solve some problems within his power.
For those who are greedy and take the opportunity to defraud money, Ji Shaohuai doesn't even wait for him to notice. Wang Sheng himself is from a farmer's family. He knows the secret directly from one meeting and one conversation.
After he stared at it a few times, even if Ji Shaohuai didn't understand ordinary prices, he would naturally understand them after dealing with them more.
Wang Sheng also learned from his gradual contact with others that although he was from a poor family and had close relatives who were not harmonious, his parents were healthy and there were many helpful people in the family, and they all tried their best to provide him with money. Scientific examination.
The students in the government schools who come from poor families, or whose family members are seriously ill, or who have no land, or who are deceived by their clansmen, etc., are much more difficult than Wang Sheng.
It is true that unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.
Ji Shaohuai breathed a sigh of relief, patted Wang Sheng's hand on his shoulder with his right hand, and asked hesitantly: "Brother Wang, I publicized this matter, but the one who discovered it was not me, but you. "
"Will you blame me? "
"If I want to blame you, I won't tell you the method. Just like if you want to deceive me, you can tell me. I got nothing when I returned home."
Wang Sheng turned around and patted his hand, then pulled away and said with emotion: "In this case, let's just leave this matter to Brother Ji. "Yes, don't emphasize it too much. The focus of the scientific examination must still be the Four Books, Five Classics and Poems."
"We are both conceited. Maybe other students know about this but don't publicize it?" Brother Ji can't be sure, but he can check with Brother Yang for details. He is very happy to think about it."
He shook the book in his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Ji. I will go back to the room to read. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Ji Shaohuai nodded and went to arrange the matter happily.
July and August are the rainy season, and the sky in Changle Mansion never gets brighter.
Wang Sheng lit the candle, leaned on the back of the chair and turned a page of the book.
The provincial examination is just around the corner, so I don’t care about saving money on candles. I can only light candles and study carefully with the dim light.
The sky was as gloomy as a squid spraying ink. It was extremely dark near and not a trace of light could be seen in the distance.
Suddenly a beam of light flashed, followed by the roar of thunder.
Wang Sheng raised his eyebrows, put down his books, and looked outside the room.
At the right time, a few drops of rain fell outside the house, and after a while, it started pouring.
As a result, there was not even a trace of daylight. He could only get up and close the door of the house, check whether there was any rain leaks in the house, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned to his position and continued reading.
It was pouring with rain. It happened that the school room had just been inspected and there was no leakage.
Fu Xue also received money recently.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
These silver coins were a temporary stand built by the professor after much deliberation during the archery exam. He used this to collect the money and use it to repair the dormitories and dormitories of the school. On the contrary, The master's mansion has not yet been repaired.
Because this matter did not comply with etiquette, the professor was fined half a year's salary, and Bai Xueguan was fined one year.
Fortunately, there was no mistake. Otherwise, whether the professor and Bai Xueguan can continue to serve as masters in the government school is another matter.
Wang Sheng's heart was spinning a thousand times, and he could only shake his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart.
When he was concentrating on studying the book in his hand and was about to turn the next page, suddenly, there was a loud "boom--" and he felt that the ground was shaking.
Earthquake?
Wang Sheng's eyes widened and his pupils shrank. At this time, he couldn't care about other objects. He could only take a paper umbrella, hurriedly opened the door, and went out to explore.
This sound shocked everyone in the room and gathered around the open space of Zhaifu Registration Office.
"Earthquake?"
The provincial examination is about to take place, and there are no classes in the government schools this ten days. Most students from Changle go home to study on their own, and Ji Shaohuai, Kong Nianwen and others are no exception. Students who did not take the provincial examination happened to be on field vacation and had already returned home.
Most of the students who can gather here are students in Class A and Class B who are waiting for the exam, and the dear friend next to him happens to be relatively familiar with Wang Sheng, so he asked this question.
Wang Sheng shook his head, expressing confusion.
Zhaifu hurriedly came out to calm everyone's emotions, but did not elaborate on whether there was an earthquake.
Everyone held umbrellas and waited for a long time, but there was no sign of an earthquake.
"Forget it, Brother Wang, let's go back and read more books."
This man shook his head and held onUmbrella plans to leave, and so do the surrounding beings.
"Wait a minute!"
Menzi hurriedly stopped everyone and said loudly: "Fu Xue has sent people to find out that this earthquake was caused by the collapse of the Gongyuan of Changle Prefecture. At that time, you can go back to your room in peace. If there is any other news later, I will ask Zhaifu to tell you!"
"Gongyuan collapsed?"
>Now that I think about it, people who went back to study did not dare to go back. They gathered around the door and asked all kinds of questions: "Since the Gongyuan collapsed, will it affect my wait for the provincial examination? Will the provincial examination be cancelled?"
When Menzi came here, he had already been soaked in the rain, and his face was slightly wet. At this time, the sweat mixed with rain washed his face over and over again.
He spoke, but the students surrounding him were louder than him. They could only shout: "I don't know! These things are beyond our control. I hope you will get out of the way so that I can report back to the professor." "
Students are not unreasonable people. After hearing what Menzi said, they can only suppress their eagerness for the time being, and just hope that the provincial examination will never be cancelled.
Wang Sheng was also relieved, but he did not give up studying.
After returning to the house, he put the dirty shoes in the corner, put on clean shoes and socks himself, washed his hands, and then picked up the unfinished book and started studying.
Fortunately, around 1:00 p.m., Zhaifu knocked on the door and announced that the provincial examination would be held as usual, but the date was uncertain.
This matter has to be reported to the government, and people will be sent to repair it overnight. The final date will be determined by watching the progress of the Gongyuan repairs.
Wang Sheng thanked Zhaifu, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and reviewed as usual.
