Chapter 177 Zhang Kai Sends You to Take the Exam
Xiu Wen, who stayed in the city, stood on the roadside of the city's main road, watching the convoy of Jiang Chuan and his mother leaving, going farther and farther away, and gradually disappearing behind the mountains.
I feel an indescribable sense of loss in my heart. If I had grown up faster, maybe I wouldn't have to run around so hard!
But you have to eat your meal one bite at a time and walk the road one step at a time.
Xiu Wen knew very well that he had no ability to solve the problems before him, and the only thing he could do was to get the best grades and go to the capital to study as soon as possible.
Make yourself capable of integrating into a higher circle.
Only then, at that time, could I give my mother and brother a stable life.
Xiuwen did not allow himself to indulge in more parting emotions. When he came back, he turned his attention back to studying.
Thinking that the exam is approaching, if I copy the books myself, I will have less time to study. It will not be worth it.
Thinking that I had money on hand, I chose to copy books just to make myself remember more content and fill the gap in my narrow vision. In the past few months, I have almost copied all the books that I could copy in the store.
Now what we copy is just repetition. It is just used as a way to practice calligraphy. Nowadays, there are more important things to do, so copying the contents of the book is not the best choice.
The current goal is to focus more on the exam questions from previous years.
Knowing this, Xiuwen went to the bookstore after school and asked the boss to quit his job as a copyist so that he could concentrate on preparing for the exam.
The bookstore owner was particularly sorry, but he also understood Xiuwen's choice. So he sincerely wished Xiuwen good luck in the exam and repeatedly said that as long as Xiuwen wanted to copy the book, he could go and get it anytime he wanted.
After thanking him, Xiuwen rushed back to the academy, and then stayed at home for a while, reviewing all the test questions he could think of.
This situation lasted until the day before the county exam, when I finally relaxed and prepared to go to the Women's Square.
When passing by a pastry shop on the street, he bought enough food for three days, put it in a small basket, and took it to the examination room to meet his needs during the three-day exam.
When Xiuwen was walking in the Women's Square with a small basket, Zhang Kai saw her and quickly led Xiuwen to the small house of his people at the back.
Seeing the basket in Xiuwen's hand, Zhang Kai took out a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone that he had specially prepared for Xiuwen, a brand new thin cotton robe, and a basket of food.
With a sincere look on his face, he blessed Xiuwen. "Xiuwen, I wish you success this time! This is a set of study supplies I bought for you, as well as a cotton coat and some food. If you find anything useful, take it with you. It may help you keep warm and fill your stomach when you go to the exam room. The things are not expensive, but they are a token of my appreciation. Please don't despise them."
Xiu Wen quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Zhang, I am very grateful for your kindness. How can I despise it? Then I will thank you, Uncle Zhang."
The two chatted for a while and agreed that the next day, Zhang Kai would drive the carriage to take Xiu Wen to the examination room. Zhang Kai then sent Xiu Wen back to the college.
The next morning, Xiu Wen washed himself as usual and had breakfast in the cafeteria. Then he carried the things he had prepared and walked out of the school gate.
Zhang Kai had been waiting at the door in a carriage. He was very happy to see Xiu Wen coming out. He hurriedly drove the carriage over and stopped in front of Xiu Wen. "Xiu Wen, get in the carriage."
Xiu Wen expressed his gratitude by performing a student's salute, then put the things into the carriage, lifted the hem of his robe, and got on.
After Zhang Kai saw Xiu Wen sitting down, he drove him to the entrance of the examination room. The carriage could not go in until it was about a hundred meters away.
The students who came to take the exam, as well as their family members and carriages who came to send them off, packed this section of the road.
Xiu Wen asked Zhang Kai to park the carriage aside, take the things down, and prepare to walk over.
There are food and other useful things. After staying in there for three days, there is not too little stuff.
Zhang Kai insisted on sending Xiuwen to the entrance of the examination hall. Xiuwen had no choice but to carry half of the things with Zhang Kai, and weaved through the crowd to the entrance of the examination hall.
At this point, Zhang Kai had no way to go in. He handed the things to Xiu Wen, "Xiu Wen, I will pick you up at the entrance of the examination hall in three days. I wish you a brilliant writing. A masterpiece."
Xiu Wen smiled and thanked Zhang Kai, accepting his blessing and the things he handed over. With Zhang Kai watching him, he passed through the inspection gate and disappeared into the examination hall.
Zhang Kai saw Xiuwen enter the gate of the examination hall and stood there for a while before he walked through the crowd, found his carriage, and drove back to the Women's Square, planning to pick Xiuwen up in three days.
