Qiao Yi

Chapter 219, Qiu Wei

On the ninth day of August, the three-yearly Qiuwei examination began.

Before dawn on this day, thousands of examinees gathered at the gate of the Tribute Academy, waiting to enter.A carriage stopped at the gate of the Gongyuan, and Chen Kuan helped their young master get off the carriage, "Young master, be careful."

Wang Zhen stood at the gate of the Gong Yuan, looking up at this place, he used to disdain to enter here.

But now that he came here on his own initiative, after going through the darkest years of his life, he was grateful to be able to stand in this place again.During the years when he lost his legs, he never thought that he would still have the opportunity to come here.

The door that was about to open was the door of his hope for the future.

He wants to stand up again from this place and start his new life, not only to prove it to the world, but also to prove it to himself.

The door of the Tribute Academy opened, and the examinees in the front began to check and then entered.

"Go back and pick me up in three days." When it was Wang Zhen's turn, Wang Zhen took his examination basket, which contained pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and a food box, which contained The food in the past few days of the exam is some dry food and pancakes.

There is water provided in the Gongyuan, and they don't need to bring water in.

"Master, you go in and take the exam, and I will pick you up in a few days." Chen Kuan gave the basket to the young master, a little worried

Said.

"Yeah." Wang Zhen nodded, and walked forward with the basket.

A steward next to Mr. Wang followed, Taifu Wang did not come to see his grandson in person, but sent an old steward beside him to see his grandson off.

On the day when Wang Zhen entered the examination room to take the exam, the rest of the Wang family did not receive any news. Even Wang Zhen's legs recovered and he was able to walk again. Few people in the Wang family knew about it.Everyone only thought that Wang Zhen was staying in his small courtyard, so no one thought that Wang Zhen's legs recovered and he went to the Gongyuan for the exam.

Seeing their young master walking forward step by step, Chen Kuan, who was standing behind, had eyes moistened. Only he knew their young master's hard work and difficulties in the past four years.

Seeing the figure of their young master disappearing through the door, Chen Kuan was still standing outside watching, unwilling to leave.

"Let's go, after the exam is over, let's pick up the Fourth Young Master." Seeing someone go in, Manager Zhao said.

Pulled by Guanshi Zhao, Chen Kuan reluctantly got into the carriage and went back to Wang's house.

Candidates entered the arena one after another until the last candidate entered, and the door of the Gongyuan was closed.

When I arrived at the medical hall that day, and heard people discussing, Qiao Yi remembered that today is the day when the examination of the Gongyuan starts, and said with a smile: "Look at me, a few days ago, I told Wang Zhen to take the exam well and try to get a champion back. After two days, I forgot about it. Presumably Wang Zhen also came in for the exam today, right?"

"There should be."

In fact, Qiu Mingyi didn't know Wang Zhen very well. Wang Zhen had been in their clinic for so long, and they didn't have much contact with each other. Unless Qiao Yi was not free sometimes, he was asked to take care of it.

He always felt that Young Master Wang looked gentle and polite to others, but he was not an easy-to-approach person.

Of course, the relationship between Qiao Yi and Wang Zhen is naturally better.But Qiu Mingyi could feel that only in front of Qiao Yi, that Young Master Wang put away his alienation from others and smiled more genuinely.

On this day, quite a few people gathered in restaurants and teahouses in the capital. Everyone was talking about the opening of this year's exam, and which candidate had a better chance of winning the first place this year.

In the casino, the bets were opened early, and the names of the candidates with the loudest voices were in the front. The higher the candidates, the lower the odds, and the lower the voices, the higher the odds .

Quite a few people placed their bets one after another, and most of them bought the candidates who were ranked first.

"Oh, I still need this kind of thing." Qiao Yi realized that there was such a thing as a gambling table, and immediately untied the money bag, took out all the bank notes inside, and stuffed it to Wang Dahu, "Go and give it to me." If you buy, you will buy Wang Zhen.”

He had a hunch that his fourth brother would get a good grade this time.

"All?" Wang Dahu looked down at the bank note in his hand, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

"Are you optimistic about Mr. Wang?" Qiu Mingyi sneaked in and walked from the front to the backyard, just in time to hear Qiao Yi asking Wang Dahu to place a bet, "Then help me buy one by the way, maybe this time it will really work." Rely on the prince to earn a little money."

"Wait, I'll go get the money." After touching himself, Qiu Mingyi realized that he didn't bring any money today.

"I have it here. How much do you want? I'll lend it to you first." Qiao Yi pulled Qiu Mingyi back and asked.

"Just lend me ten taels." This was Dr. Qiu's wages for several months. Seeing that Qiao Yi bought so much without blinking an eye, he just followed suit.

If you win, you will get an extra ten taels. If you are familiar with it, you will not have a few months' wages.Anyway, he is alone, without a wife and children to support, and there is room and board in the medical center, so the money on his body is useless.

"It's only ten taels. It's too little. If you want to buy it, you can buy more, let's say 100 taels." Qiao Yi waved his hand and asked Wang Dahu to go to the casino to place a bet.

"100 taels, isn't it too much?" Dr. Qiu lived in his twenties, and he had never even entered a casino. He had never gambled, and if he paid it back, it would be 100 taels, which was simply beyond his acceptable range. .

"When you win the money, you won't feel too much." Qiao Yi bet 500 taels by himself. If he wins, he will earn a thousand taels, right?Fourth brother, you have to work hard. In the days to come, whether I eat vegetables or meat depends entirely on you! "Hehe, are you so sure that Mr. Wang will win the first place?" Qiu Mingyi didn't worry about whether it was ten taels or 100 taels. In the worst case, he continued to work here as a long-term worker for Qiao Yi. He found that being a long-term worker is actually pretty good. of?

Qiao Yi shrugged and said, "It's not certain, it's just intuition."

"..." Doctor Qiao, so you just bet several hundred taels in one go?He also bet me 100 taels... "Haha, don't worry, we'll eat better when we win, and if we lose, we'll just eat vegetables and tofu in the next few months, it's no big deal." Looking at Qiu Mingyi With an irritated expression on his face, Qiao Yi reached out and patted Qiu Mingyi's shoulder, laughing

Road.

"Hey, that's the only way..." Doctor Qiu could only shake his head, thinking that he couldn't trust Qiao Yi next time, and had to think about it.

clear.

With the silver bill given by their young master in his arms, Wang Dahu went to the biggest gambling house in the capital, and found Wang Zhen's name at the end of the gambling board.This name was temporarily added by someone. It was at the end of the gamble table, and there was no bet amount on it.

Compared with the names of the previous candidates who have already placed a large amount of money, the blank positions of the latter names look a bit bleak.

"I'll buy Wang Zhen."

"you sure?"

"Well, sure."

Wang Dahu didn't know much about these things, but his young master asked him to bet, so he just came to bet.

After making a good bet, he took the receipt and certificate from the casino, and then he left the casino and returned to give the receipt and certificate to their young master.this will

Son Qiao Yi was busy, so she said: "Just collect it for me, and if you win the money, you can use the receipt to claim the money.

"

"Okay." Wang Dahu put the bill in his purse and put it next to his body. This small bill is hundreds of years old.

In the past few days when these candidates went to take the exam, the streets of the capital suddenly became much smoother, and there was also a vacant seat in the restaurant and teahouse outside.On weekdays, the seats in these restaurants and teahouses were occupied by scholars, and finally waiting for them to take the exam, these old men in the capital would stroll out to drink tea.

Once the door of the Tribute Court is closed for three days, all candidates can only take the exam inside. They cannot come out until the door of the Tribute Court is opened and the exam is over.

Someone at home took the exam inside, and on the third day, there were quite a few people standing at the gate of the Gongyuan, all of them eagerly waiting for the people inside to come out.

For the people outside, they just passed the three days, but for the candidates who take the exam inside, they have studied hard for ten years, and what they are waiting for is this day. The short three-day exam is to change their life. Moment of fate.

"Boom boom boom——"

The drum beat, and the door of the Gongyuan slowly opened.

"The door is open, the door is open!" someone shouted.

"Master, where is our young master?"

The door of the Tribute Court opened, and within a short while, candidates came out of it.

There was a rush of people outside, and everyone tiptoed towards the gate of the Gongyuan, wanting to find the person they picked up.

At this time, Chen Kuan, like many people waiting outside, was staring at the open door, searching for the body of their young master.

film.

It was not until the soldiers came to take the examination papers away that Wang Zhen packed up the things on the table and walked out slowly with the basket in his hand.

He walked more slowly than the others, so he fell behind.Follow the team in front of you, and you don't need to check your things when you go out. They just take their things and go out with a basket.

"Master, Master!"

A lot of people came out in front, and after waiting for a while, Chen Kuan saw the figure of their young master coming out. He took a few strides forward and took the things from their young master. With a big smile on his face, he said: " Master, I'll get it."

"Yeah." The corner of Wang Zhen's mouth curled up into a faint smile. After three days of exams in the Gongyuan, he had all his food and lodging inside. He just looked a little haggard. There is no mess in the hair.

These young masters of aristocratic families have paid attention to etiquette since they were young, and even at this time, they still have to keep the surface clean and tidy.At this time, Guanshi Zhao came over and saluted, "Fourth young master, the master is waiting for you in front."

Seeing the carriage parked in front, Wang Zhen hummed and followed Guanshi Zhao to the carriage.On this day, Taifu Wang came to pick up his grandson outside the gate of the Gongyuan. Seeing the grandson who passed the exam, Taifu Wang nodded and said, "Come on."

"Yes." Wang Zhen bowed his hands before getting into the carriage.

The carriage drove away slowly.

After all the people left, the door of the Gongyuan was closed again, and it would not be reopened until three years later when the autumn exam started.
