Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 538 Examination 1

The river surface has just thawed in early spring, the ice has melted, and ships are setting sail on the river.

Jiang Youzhen opened the window, smelled the cool air on the river, looked at the pier that was getting closer and closer, and his mood suddenly fluctuated.

Today is the third day of February, and she has arrived with her whole family.

"Young Master! Everything has been packed, and Madam and Auntie have also packed everything." Qing Lang had just taken a break from his busy schedule because he had so much luggage.

This time the two aunts came with their husbands and children. The shop in the capital has already started preparations and is expected to open in a few days.

Shen and the others will definitely come together. Third aunt and her family will stay in the city to look after the shop first. After everything is settled, they will come to the capital.

"Xiao Lang, we'll be at the dock soon!" At this time, Daya had already walked in.

Holding a young child in his hand, Jiang Youzhen quickly stepped forward to help the staggering little kid.

"Uncle, hold me!" The little kid opened his arms and asked Jiang Youzhen to hold him as soon as he saw her.

"I wanted to find you as soon as I woke up. I said I was going to get off the boat, but I insisted that you hold me."

Daya smiled as she watched Jiang Youzhen pick up the little bun. She couldn't help feeling a little jealous as she saw the little bun leaning his little head on Jiang Youzhen's shoulder.

"I don't see you very often, so why am I so close to you? I've been pestering you these past few days on the ship."

"Why do I smell something sour?" Jiang Youzhen shook his head and laughed. Is it true that after becoming a mother, she feels jealous when her child is intimate with others?

The little boy is one and a half years old. He speaks very clearly, but his walking is a little unsteady.

"I think the eldest sister is jealous. Here, there is another one who also wants her uncle to hold her."

The person who walked in at this moment was Erya, and her little kid was only eight months old.

"I think you just want to be lazy. The little kid is only eight months old, how would he know what an uncle is?" Daya laughed and ruthlessly exposed Erya's words.

"Don't we have servants? How am I being lazy?" While Erya was talking, the little kid had already babbled and opened his arms towards Jiang Youzhen.

"Oh! Then you can hold one in each hand and not be partial to one, right?" Jiang Youzhen took the little kid with her other hand. Fortunately, she still had some strength left.

Everyone immediately found it funny, and laughter was heard from the room.

Jiang Youzhen looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and suddenly felt that traveling here was God's compensation for her not having enjoyed family love in her previous life?

Because this year is the 66th birthday of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has granted permission to hold an additional special examination. Since last year, the court has issued a notice on the special examination. Therefore, those who participated in the provincial examination last year are preparing for the special examination.

Until the previous dynasty, it was rare to hold an additional special examination. Even if an additional special examination was held, only those students who had failed in the examinations many times could participate, giving them a chance.

However, since the beginning of this dynasty, the imperial court has been eager to select talents. Therefore, except for the year when the Empress Dowager celebrated her 60th birthday, an additional special examination was held, which was open to all juren. This was the second time.

Jiang Youzhen also caught up. If she had followed the previous regular examination process, she would have to wait two years before taking the exam, because the imperial examination was held every three years.

On the seventh day of the second lunar month, Jiang Youzhen was preparing for the examination the day after tomorrow. He would enter the examination room in advance tomorrow. This examination was divided into three sessions, each lasting three days, and the process was basically the same as the previous provincial examination.

"It will be another nine days. It's cold this time, so we need to wear more clothes. Can we bring a hand warmer? I heard that place is just a brick house, and it's a very small house. It must be cold."

Shen couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Jiang Youzhen packing his things by himself.

"Oh my! You are such a loving mother with a spoiled son! Can you bring that hand warmer in? Don't let the searchers misunderstand it as cheating, so it's better not to bring it." Jiang Fugui was also in Jiang Youzhen's study. Seeing Jiang Youzhen put all the four treasures of the study into the examination basket, he felt a little worried.

My daughter has grown up in the past two years. I heard that the officials will continue to search, and I don’t know how she plans to get away with it.

As a father, it was not easy for him to ask. He originally wanted to let Shen ask it, but after Jiang Youzhen changed the subject, Shen was completely led by Jiang Youzhen. How could he remember the purpose of his visit?

"You are just imitating others. I am like a mother who worries about her child even when he is a thousand miles away." Shen was angry. The kid's father is also knowledgeable now.

"Then what you said is not right. Xiaolang is not going far away." Jiang Fugui was not convinced. He had learned a lot of knowledge in the past two years. Xiaolang said that it would be easy to be fooled if he did business in the future without being literate.

"I won't argue with you!" Shen rolled her eyes and turned around to see that Jiang Youzhen had actually put two thin robes in his bag.

"Oh! Don't you want to bring some thicker clothes? How can this be warm? Bring the fox fur cloak that your second sister just brought."

Jiang Youzhen couldn't help laughing, "Mom! You are only allowed to wear single clothes in the examination room. You can wear more than one layer. You are not allowed to wear interlayers. You are not allowed to wear thick coats and cloaks. If you wear them, they will be scratched beyond recognition."

"What? This is too inhumane!" Shen suddenly felt even more distressed.

"Go, go, go, don't disturb Xiaolang from packing. If she forgets to bring something, won't it delay her?"

Jiang Fugui couldn't stand it any longer. This woman doesn't do any real work! She doesn't ask the questions she should ask, but only does useless things.

Jiang Youzhen watched the couple go out arguing, and immediately smiled and shook his head.

On the eighth day of February, there were more than a thousand people taking part in the imperial examination, so Jiang Youzhen and his friends still had to line up early to enter the examination room.

This time, an additional special examination was held, and not only new candidates could participate, but also those who had failed the previous examination.

Anyway, it was an extra examination, so some people who were not prepared would come. It was better to try first. After all, they could still take part in the provincial examination in two years, which was an extra chance, so the competition this time was also very fierce.

When Jiang Youzhen and his friends arrived, there was already a long queue outside the Imperial Examination Hall.

Here, whoever arrives first gets the number. After you enter, the seat number is decided by drawing lots.

This time it was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, so it looked more strict than before. Although there were many people outside the Imperial Examination Hall, there was complete silence. The soldiers holding weapons all had cold faces and sharp eyes, so no one dared to say much.

It was two hours later when it was Jiang Youzhen's turn. It was close to noon when Jiang Youzhen walked in with his exam basket. The first thing he saw was the curtain he had seen last time.

He was once again stripped naked inside the curtain for a search. Fortunately, the system was powerful and the reward of a muscle suit was indistinguishable from the real thing. Coupled with the upgraded fantasy potion, Jiang Youzhen would be fine even if he didn't take off his clothes.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Youzhen still took off his outer robe and left only his inner garment.

The magic of the dream potion is that as long as Jiang Youzhen describes to them what happened after he took off all his clothes, they will believe it after they wake up and feel that it really happened.

Even so, Jiang Youzhen still breathed a sigh of relief after coming out.
