Chapter 078: The Township Exam Begins
About half an hour passed, Wang Ergou came with his people.
There were four men and ten women in total. Wang Ergou smiled and said, "Young Master Qin, four slaves, are responsible for the door, and run errands inside and outside. Six servants, two cooks, and six are responsible for washing and scrubbing in the courtyard."
Speaking of this, Wang Ergou approached and spoke in a low voice, and said with a smile: "I have specially selected two pretty personal maids for you. They are both sixteen years old and beautiful. They are all signed with death contracts, so Mr. Qin can do it at will."
Judging from his slutty appearance, Qin Guan didn't know what Wang Ergou meant.
I looked up and saw that the two maids looked really good. Although they were not stunning, they were definitely considered two little beauties.
Qin Guan was very satisfied and asked Erbao to pay the contract to sell his body and reward him with another 5 guan. Wang Ergou thanked him and left.
Qin Guan said to Erbao beside him: "Erbao, the young master will give you a task. You will be the butler of this villa in the future. You will be responsible for all the things here."
Erbao was stunned and said in a panic: "Young Master, I, I don't understand very much."
Qin Guan patted his shoulder, "If you don't understand, just study. Besides, there is nothing wrong here. At most, it's a leisure residence. I usually live at home."
If Qin Guan dared to move out now, his mother would probably tell his father Qin Zhang immediately, and maybe Qin Zhang would run back from Jinling and break his leg.
It is very unfilial for parents to dare to separate their families, and they are all light when they break their legs.
The second treasure had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
The other servants went to work hard, and Erbao directed the work, and he really looked like a butler. Qin Guan came to the backyard, sat in the pavilion, admiring the lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The breeze passed by and wrinkled half of the spring water.
The two maids brought tea, but Qin Guan didn't move and asked, "What are your names?"
Two pretty little maids saluted together, and the taller one spoke first, "Young master, my maid's name is Ping'er."
Another shorter girl looked even more shy and said in a low voice: "I'm a servant**mei."
Qin Guan was a little stunned when he heard the name.
Is it necessary to change my name to Ximen Daguanren?
"Okay, you have changed your name now. You will call it Shuxiang in the future, and your name is Moyun." From then on, the tall maid changed its name to Shuxiang, and the shy maid changed its name to Moyun.
It was getting late, and Qin Guan did not stay in the other courtyard for too long and returned to Qin Mansion.
In the room of the other courtyard, two little maids secretly talked about Qin Guan.
"I thought our young master would live here tonight."
"Sister Shuxiang is missing the spring."
The fragrance of the book slaps the ink rhyme, "No, but I think the young master is different from the rumors."
"It's different. In the past, the outside world said that the young master was a playboy, but now he doesn't look like him. And now the young master is a famous talent in Hangzhou. His poems and essays are sung throughout Hangzhou. I like the Magpie Bridge Fairy the most."
"Mo Yun, we must serve the young master well in the future. Being able to follow the young master is also our blessing."
"Sister Shuxiang, I understand."
Time passed like a flash of time, and it was already August, and the autumn examination was held.
At around two o'clock in the morning, Qin Guan was woken up, and it was still pitch black outside. Qin Guan was blindfolded and asked Yun Xiang to serve her clothes and comb her hair.
I was sobered by the cold water when I was washing my face that I woke up a little more.
When I arrived in the living room, I found that my mother, my elder brother, second mother and younger sister were also there. He probably got the latest in the entire Qin Mansion.
Mrs. Qin was very happy when she looked at her two sons. The eldest son has always been sensible and obedient, knowledgeable and friendly, and is likely to make progress on the road to imperial examinations. The younger son used to be naughty, but suddenly changed a lot. He knew that he had made great progress in his studies and was admitted to the scholar. Now he has gained a great reputation in poetry and prose.
The eldest son once told her that Guan'er's poems are all masterpieces that can be passed down for thousands of years. Perhaps in the future, the Qin family will be kept famous in history, and it will be read by Qin Guan.
What else can you be dissatisfied with having two sons like this?
Mrs. Qin greeted her two sons for dinner and ordered her servants to prepare things, which was even more complete this time.
The provincial examination is different from the college examination. This examination will take two days and one night, and you cannot leave the college entrance examination in the middle. Even if you go to the toilet, you will be accompanied by someone, and you will eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the college entrance examination.
The place where you sleep can only be in that small exam room. No matter whether you are a child of an official or a poor family, you will be treated so without preferential treatment.
Fortunately, it's only August now, and the weather is quite suitable. If it is scheduled in November, maybe after an exam, those who are in poor health may not be able to survive.
Bacon, braised dishes, dried fruits, teapots, water cups, pens, inkstones, papers and inkstones. In short, Qin Guan thought of it and Madam Qin had never thought of it. She made a large carrying box full of and even prepared two thin blankets and a pillow. Moreover, these things were put in the carrying box just like Mrs. Qin himself. This was a care for her mother, and she was also afraid of mistakes made by others. After all, this was a major event that would affect her son's lifelong life.
If a servant really has evil intentions and just carries a piece of paper with words inside, it might ruin his son's life.
There is still a chance to participate in the examination for the college entrance examination, but if it is entangled during the provincial examination, the consequences will be more. In mild cases, they will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life, and in severe cases, they may be sentenced to exile.
After dinner, Qin Wei and Qin Zhang came to grandma's room again. The old lady had already gotten up. Seeing her two grandchildren kowtowed, she said kindly: "The most glorious moment for a man is when he was on the list of gold."
"My Qin family has been studying and inherited the family for several generations. At that time, your great-grandfather passed the imperial examination for twenty years. Your grandfather studied literature for thirty years and finally passed the imperial examination for the imperial examination. He made up for his vacancies and became the county magistrate of Anxi County. Your father studied hard and became a high school Jinshi for 16 years. At that moment, our Qin family was so glorious."
"Now you are already adults, which is the future of the Qin family and the hope of the Qin family. When you embark on the road of imperial examinations, you must put out all your energy to strive for a bright future and promote the Qin family."
After the old lady said something, Qin Wei and Qin Guan felt a sense of passion and strength.
Although the old lady is usually very kind and does not interfere in the family affairs, how could she be an ordinary old lady who can teach Qin Zhang personally how could she be an ordinary old lady?
The two brothers worshiped the old lady again, and Qin Xi drove the car to take the two young masters to the examination school, and followed Erbao and waited for several servants.
Before the exam, the group came to the examination school and saw that it was already crowded with candidates and family servants coming to take the exam. Although it was only 5 a.m., Qin Guan estimated that there were no less than 3,000 people here, and there were still people coming here 66.
Qin Guan searched in the crowd, but no Zheng Da appeared. This year, Zheng Da will also participate in the provincial examination, and was locked up by his father before the exam. Apart from the Chinese Valentine's Poetry Festival, Qin Guan never saw him again.
However, the people are noisy now, and it is difficult to find someone. It seems that we can only talk after the exam.
Just when a trace of whiteness appeared in the sky, the gate of the examination school opened and a row of soldiers walked out of the house were lined up, with a total of three or four hundred people.
