Chapter 238 Entering the examination room

Gu Qingqing asked Li Xin to watch the fire. She went upstairs and got fifty copper coins and gave them to the woman. She also carried down the bamboo basket they had brought when they came out.

He handed the fifty copper coins to the woman and watched her happily count them twice before putting them in her arms.

Only then did Gu Qingqing carefully place the potatoes that belonged to them into the bamboo basket.

Then he told Li Xin, "Da Xin, take the bamboo basket back to your room. I just saw that the light in your room is on. Your uncle must be up."

"I understand, aunt." After saying this, Li Xin went upstairs carrying the bamboo basket.

Seeing that there was no one around, the woman approached Gu Qingqing again, covered her clothes with her hands and said in a way that made it clear, "Sister, you have already taken the eggs. If your man gets angry with you when your child takes them, you can't come to me. I won't return your copper coins."

"Well, I won't ask you to return it." Gu Qingqing said.

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, the woman didn't leave for a long time. She just stood there holding the money, looking a little puzzled.

"Sister-in-law, you've already sold me today's food, why don't you go buy some food from the surrounding area?"

Gu Qingqing didn't ask for hello. When she asked, the woman said "no hurry, no hurry" and then she farted and sat down again.

Then Gu Qingqing saw her eyes fixed on her pot. She chuckled silently. It turned out that the woman was still waiting for the meat in her pot.

Gu Qingqing didn't let her wait any longer. She estimated the time and opened the lid of the pot, first filling the bowl she had prepared. Then she said to the woman, "Sister-in-law, where is your bowl? I'll serve you some along with the soup."

This is what the woman was waiting for. When she heard her ask, she hurriedly handed over the bowl she had brought with her. She saw that the other party served her five pieces of meat and some rosy soup, and then smelled the fragrance that filled the room. She was so drooling that she didn't even have time to swallow.

The woman took the bowl and kept thanking Gu Qingqing.

"You're welcome. You should go find some other food to fill the child's stomach." After Gu Qingqing said this, she quickly fried a cabbage in the pot, packed the food in the food box, and led him upstairs.

Wen Wuyan was enjoying his meal, but that was a tough time for the other people who had gotten up to find something to eat. The fragrance in the yard was so strong that it was simply torture to eat the food provided by the inn while smelling the aroma.

Wen Wuyan was eating, while on the other side, Gu Qingqing prepared everything Wen Wuyan needed and checked repeatedly to see if there was anything missing.

A bamboo box for holding the four treasures of the study, paperweights, copper character grids and other small items.

"Qingqing, you don't have to ask for help. I've just checked those." Wen Wuyan saw that she didn't stop and tried to persuade her.

"You eat yours, and I'll just watch."

Wen Wuyan laughed and let Qingqing go to check.

When everything was ready and they were about to go out, Gu Qingqing saw that the three flowers were still sleeping, so she said to Li Xin, "You stay in the inn, wait for Dahua to wake up and tell her that I will be back soon. If I come back late, I have left some rice and vegetables in the room. You tell the waiter to heat them up and you can eat first."

Li Xin nodded, "Don't worry, auntie, I will watch over them and not let them leave the room."

With Li Xin's assurance, Gu Qingqing followed Wen Wuyan out.

The place where they lived was about fifteen minutes away from the examination venue. When they were at the inn, Gu Qingqing felt that there were not many people there. When they walked along the way, they found that there were quite a few people.

It was just that even the gentle cold wind in the early morning still made everyone shiver in the wind, shrinking their necks like ostriches.

Wen Wuyan took out the cloak that Qingqing brought for him from the bamboo basket behind him and was about to put it on her.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingqing dodged.

"It's windy everywhere. Put on your cloak quickly to avoid catching a cold." Wen Wuyan continued to put clothes on her.

"You also said that it's windy everywhere, so you should put on your clothes. If I catch a cold, I can wait for you at the inn. If you get hurt by the wind, you won't have the energy to answer questions. Put them on quickly, and I can hide behind you."

Wen Wuyan knew what was more important and did not refuse. He put on the cloak he brought with him, picked up the bamboo basket, let Qingqing hide behind him, and took her hand and held it in his own.

Fortunately, there were more people here, and no one could walk fast. As they walked back and forth, Gu Qingqing didn't step on Wen Wuyan's shoes.

When they arrived at the place, there were already patrol officers maintaining order.

“Those taking the exam, please bring your things and line up here. We will check them when the time is up.

Since they had to queue up, Gu Qingqing could no longer follow him. Wen Wuyan took the opportunity to say to her, "Qingqing, go back now while there are still people on the road. It's cold here. I'll queue up here."

"Just queue up and don't worry about me. You see there are people all around, and I'm not tall, so I can't get caught in the wind if I hide in the crowd." After saying this, Gu Qingqing was afraid that Wen Wuyan would let her go, so she hurriedly added, "I won't feel at ease unless I watch you go in."

Wen Wuyan didn't say anything more, just squeezed her hand, and then the two separated.

After a while, Gu Qingqing saw someone being taken in early by the patrolling officers. She didn't even need to ask, as people around who knew the situation immediately told her.

It turned out that the people who went in were students on government stipends who served as guarantors for the examinees. To put it bluntly, it was because they had someone in the government to help them get things done.

At least I don't have to suffer the cold here with everyone else.

Gu Qingqing was wearing thick clothes, but she was still very cold. She could even hear someone's teeth chattering. These people were really trying their best to accompany her in the exam.

It was not until dawn that the supervising clerks began to call out names.

After calling out countless names, Gu Qingqing suddenly heard a voice saying, "Niutoushan Village, Wen Wuyan."

She looked excitedly and saw Wen Wuyan also looking at her. Then he nodded and walked towards the gate carrying the bamboo basket.

Seeing that Wen Wuyan was being examined, Gu Qingqing wanted to wait for her to go in so that she could go back.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Shanquan Village, Sunshan, we found something hidden in the steamed buns!"

Gu Qingqing looked over there and saw that the officers had already dragged away the man who was carrying the contraband. She also saw a small movement among the people queuing, as if someone was doing something.

Gu Qingqing didn't rush to leave. Although she knew that Wen Wuyan didn't take anything with him, she was still afraid of any accidents.

She was not relieved until the person who entered later was discovered and dragged out.

More people were dragged out later, some of them had things found hidden in their clothes, and some had things written on their bodies.

All these people were dragged away, but she had no idea whether or not they would be punished, or how they would be punished.
