Chapter 428 You are quite a nice person
Fortunately, the candidate discovered it himself, otherwise if the fire had spread, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Remind all candidates, be careful with candles in the examination room. If you are really sleepy, do not force yourself to sleep. Just extinguish the candles and go to sleep."
Jiang Youzhen heard that the officers on the opposite side had sent more people to patrol. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew. Jiang Youzhen looked up at the sky, but found that there was no moon or stars in the sky tonight.
Is it going to rain? Jiang Youzhen frowned and walked around the dormitory. He couldn't see clearly whether the roof was intact.
I made up my mind that I must hurry up and finish writing the last article tomorrow. If the weather suddenly changes tomorrow, the wind and rain will definitely affect the exam.
August 17th, today is the last day of the provincial examination.
Early in the morning, Jiang Youzhen got up early and cooked some porridge, which he had a simple meal with some dried radishes.
Unable to take out the food, Jiang Youzhen hoped that this would be his last meal in Gongyuan.
The room opposite was empty. The candidate did not come back and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
After calculating the time, the first batch should be released at noon, but the specific time also depends on how many candidates there are. The first batch can only be released when there are twenty candidates.
After eating, I moved my hands and feet around in the cell. These past two days, I had either been sitting or lying curled up, and my hands and feet were not very flexible.
After walking around to help digest the food, Jiang Youzhen looked up at the sky. It was a cloudy day today. The sky was gray and there were gusts of wind. It looked like it was going to rain and the temperature would drop.
She was already feeling the chill, and even though she was only wearing an inner garment and an outer skirt, she actually felt a little cold.
Not daring to delay any longer, Jiang Youzhen started on the last question.
This question is more difficult than the previous ones. Jiang Youzhen polished it on the draft paper for a long time, and only dared to copy it after it was smooth.
Copying is a meticulous job that does not allow for distraction. There are hundreds of words, and there can be no mistakes, so the nerves are extremely tense.
An hour later, Jiang Youzhen finally finished copying. Just as she was about to put down her pen, a drop of water suddenly fell on her paper.
She quickly looked up at the sky, and found that it was already covered with dark clouds without her noticing, and there were gusts of cool breeze all around.
She was so focused just now that she didn't notice that the weather had changed.
"It's raining!" murmured the candidate diagonally opposite.
Jiang Youzhen quickly hid inside and blew the ink on the paper dry. The raindrops were very big, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming. With the small room and the spacious area in front, it was sure that it would not be able to escape the invasion of wind and rain.
Jiang Youzhen patiently blew the ink dry inch by inch, checked it again, put all the papers together, and then started ringing the bell.
Just as they were waiting for the seal officer, a strong wind blew up, making it impossible to open their eyes.
"Oh no! It's going to rain heavily and I haven't finished answering the questions yet." Some candidates, upon seeing this situation, hurriedly protected their papers.
Once heavy rain comes, it is easy to wet the paper. The ink will be mixed into a ball, or even the paper will be torn. What should we do then?
"This? It's raining, what should we do?" Some candidates were already at a panic.
The rain hit Jiang Youzhen's face. At this moment, two officials opposite him were covering the papers. Seeing a drop of rain dripping on the paper, Jiang Youzhen was a little anxious.
Fortunately, the two men acted quickly and sealed the paper quickly. Then Jiang Youzhen was led to the alley by an official.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Umbrellas were not allowed in the examination room to prevent them from bringing them in. The slanting rain could easily pour into the dormitories, and it was now up to see who was the most unlucky.
As Jiang Youzhen passed by the rows of examination rooms, he saw the examinees frantically looking for things to cover their papers.
Some clever candidates removed the wooden board, stood it up vertically to block the view, squatted with their backs to the board and wrote on it.
Everyone looked at Jiang Youzhen's graceful back as he left, and they were immediately filled with envy.
She was always the first one to finish the exam. Even when it was about to rain heavily, she managed to finish the exam before it rained. How could one not envy her?
"We need twenty people to set up the raft. Wait here!"
After the officer finished speaking, he left, leaving Jiang Youzhen there.
"Hey?" Jiang Youzhen wanted to call out to the other person, but the other person had already left quickly. He thought that a candidate had handed in his paper early, so he had to lead the way.
This place is open air and there is nowhere to hide when it rains heavily.
Jiang Youzhen was wearing thin clothes, and it was easy for him to catch a cold if he got caught in the autumn rain. He sighed helplessly, hoping to gather 20 people soon!
The rain hit his face, and Jiang Youzhen tried to stand under the eaves. He had to get wet in the rain after the exam. If he had known, he would have handed in the paper later. At least there were a few tiles in the dormitory to protect him from the wind and rain.
However, Jiang Youzhen did not have to wait long. It was so windy and rainy that many candidates handed in their papers early.
"Xiaolang! Have you been out for a long time?" Tong Huaian walked up quickly, and seeing Jiang Youzhen standing in the wind and rain like a quail, he quickly stepped forward and covered her head and face with his sleeves.
"Wait a little longer. I think there are about ten people now. We should be able to gather soon. The rain is getting heavy and those people don't dare to write anymore. Don't let them get soaked. It will not be worth it."
Tong Huaian stood in front of Jiang Youzhen. His tall and slender body shielded Jiang Youzhen from a lot of wind and rain.
You are such a nice person! Jiang Youzhen sighed sincerely. When this person doesn't make him angry, he is still very compassionate.
"You are wearing too little. Didn't I tell you to wear more clothes before the exam? I'm afraid it will rain. This is what all the candidates have said from experience."
Tong Huaian couldn't help but frown as he watched Jiang Youzhen hugging his arms tightly.
Originally, there were clothes in the space, but it was fine last night. Who would have thought it would be so cold today after the rain? It was about to be launched, so she naturally couldn't buy more clothes.
"It's okay, you'll be able to leave the Imperial Examination Hall soon!" Jiang Youzhen said, but immediately sneezed.
She had been in good health in the past two years, but she didn't expect to catch a cold after being caught in the rain. It seemed that she overestimated her health.
After returning home, I have to drink two more bowls of ginger soup.
"Junior brother, you are out?" Wen Ruyu also came over at this time, his steps were very fast.
"Brother! Everyone is here, come here quickly!" Jiang Youzhen waved at him. If he didn't come over, once one batch left, he would have to wait for the next batch.
"What kind of weather is this? It was sunny yesterday, but today it's so cold."
"Isn't it? I'm shivering with cold!"
"I didn't have time to think about the last question, I was afraid the rain would soak the paper, what bad luck."
Other candidates also complained. Many of them did not have time to think much and just finished writing and handed in the paper in a hurry.
"The rafts have been set, everyone please follow me out of the Imperial Court!"
Xiaowu, Qinglang and the others had already driven their carriages and were waiting outside, staring eagerly at the door of the Imperial Examination Hall to open. Qinglang was searching for his young master among the crowd.
Based on his understanding, the young master must be among the first batch to be released.
Sure enough, he saw Jiang Youzhen in the crowd and quickly waved to greet him.
