    Chapter 60

    The dormitory is where the exam is held. There are brick walls on the left and right sides, one or two feet high from the ground, with two wooden boards placed above and below. During the exam, the upper wooden board is used as a desk, and the lower wooden board is used as a stool and chair for writing.  When the test paper is ready for the night, the upper wooden board is removed and put together with the lower wooden board to use as a bed for lying on.

    Xie Ling sat inside and laid out all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones. All the candidates were waiting patiently. There was a bugler standing in front of each dormitory for supervision.

    It was late at night when the first questions came out. The questions were written on a piece of paper and distributed by each army. When the candidates saw the detailed list of questions, they picked up their pens one after another and prepared their answer sheets.

    Xie Ling raised his eyes slightly, and saw the dim light shining on the green wall opposite. The black words on the question paper were very conspicuous. The first test was on the meaning of the Four Books. The first question was taken from the Analects of Confucius: The Master said to Yan Yuan,  If you use it, you will do it; if you leave it, you will hide it. This is the only way I and you are.

    He paused, laid out the paper, and was not in a hurry to answer the question. Instead, he slowly rubbed the ink and lowered his eyes, as if he was meditating on something.

    It wasn't until the ink was polished that Xie Ling stopped, his eyes fell on the blank rice paper, then he picked up the pen, dipped it in thick black ink, and began to write. Thin and elegant characters appeared one by one.  On the paper: It is advisable for a sage to hide when he travels, and he will show it to those who are able to do so.  The behavior of a saint is not easy to regulate, and it depends on how beautiful you are

    The first exam lasted for three days. At noon on the first day of August, the examination room began to put the first cards. The candidates who had already submitted their papers gathered in front of the gate of Gongyuan and waited. Not long after, someone came to open the door and all the candidates filed out. Thank you.  Ling was also among this group of people. As he was walking forward with the crowd, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Thank you, junior brother! Thank you, junior brother!"

    It was Yang Ye's voice, which came among the noisy crowd. It attracted the attention of many people, and they all turned their eyes over. Xie Ling had to stand to the side when he shouted, and stopped to wait. Sure enough, Yang Ye's voice came out.  Ye tried his best to separate the crowd, walked towards him, and said excitedly: "Have you finished answering too?"

    Xie Ling smiled and nodded. Yang Ye happily beat his palms and asked, "What do you think?"

    Xie Ling thought for a while and just said: "Not bad, where is senior brother?"

    Yang Ye waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I have finished writing. As for whether I can win or not, only God knows."

    He grinned and said, "I'll do my best and obey fate. I've done my best. I can go back home and burn a few sticks of incense for my ancestors. That's it."

    What¡¯s more, he has an open-minded and frank attitude, which made the candidates passing by couldn¡¯t help but look at him. Seeing him like this, Xie Ling couldn¡¯t help but smile and said: "Then I wish Senior Brother Yang a good success in high school."

    Yang Ye smiled and waved his hands and said, "I don't know whether I can win or not, but with my junior brother's talent and learning, I will definitely win this subject!"

    He said this for no reason, or before he came to take the exam, Master Dong had said that with Xie Ling's ability, if nothing went wrong, he would most likely be on the list.

    Yang Ye's words were another way of teasing Xie Ling. He was joking, but there was a strange and sinister voice coming from beside him, sarcastically saying: "I just put the cards in the first game, and I'm so brazen that I will definitely succeed in this subject. I think it's your family who will come to Gongyuan."  Right?"

    Someone is here to start a fight. What Yang Ye hates most in his life is the person who deliberately opposes him. That's it. Yan Shangzhi is better than him in talent, knowledge and brains. Moreover, they are senior brothers. Every time the two of them fight, Yang Ye can't get over it.  Well, he was squeezed horribly because he had misunderstood Yan Shangzhi before and felt guilty, so he endured it. After enduring it, he got used to it, but this does not mean that everyone can praise Yang Jingzhi.  Bang!

    Yang Ye didn't even look back, and just said: "Which dog came and barked in front of me?"

    When the man heard the words, he immediately held his breath. He really didn't expect that Yang Ye would say such a vulgar and rude thing!  There was no time to answer the call.

    Yang Ye and Xie Ling turned around to look, only to see that he was a young scholar, who was most likely a candidate who had just handed in his paper. His face was flushed at this time, and his eyes were glaring at Yang Ye angrily.  The person next to him made Xie Ling raise his eyebrows calmly.

    Yang Ye also recognized it, and he exclaimed in realization, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Su's dog was not tied up and ran out."

    Comparing a dog to a human, the candidate was so angry that he opened his mouth to curse: "You¡ª¡ª"

    Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled by Su Han and said, "Junior Brother Yang, what you just said went too far. Brother Fengcai also said it unintentionally. Why do you say such evil words?"

    Yang Ye sneered and didn't look at him directly. He only used Yan Shangzhi's most irritating view. He glanced sideways and said, "He said it unintentionally, and I also said it unintentionally."The door rang and Xie Ling walked in.

    When he saw Shi Hua carrying water, he immediately put down everything in his hands, took a few steps over, and said, "Ah Jiu, I'll just come."

    Shi Hua didn¡¯t argue with him and said, ¡°Have you finished the exam?¡±

    Xie Ling smiled while fetching water: "The first exam is over."

    Shi Hua said nothing, but saw Xie Ling fetching water from the well and looking at her with anticipation in her eyes. She thought about it and asked, "How did you go in the exam?"

    Xie Ling then raised the corners of her lips and smiled, and said in a determined tone: "I will definitely succeed in this subject."

    Shi Hua had known the result for a long time, but he still showed a lot of surprise. He smiled, his eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and he praised, "Okay."

    After receiving this compliment, Xie Ling seemed to have been truly praised, with sincere joy in his eyes. Shi Hua looked at him. They hadn't seen him for a few days. Perhaps it was because the dormitory was really difficult. The young man looked haggard.  He seems to have lost some weight, but he is still in good spirits and his eyes are shining like stars.

    Shi Hua suddenly realized that Xie Ling's eyes had been on her face and had not moved. She felt uneasy, but she did not dare to show it, so she could only suppress those chaotic emotions and said warmly: "You go  Rest, because I know you will be back at noon, I took leave from my uncle and the others today, and I will call you when the dishes and rice are ready."

    Xie Ling looked at her intently for a while, then smiled with a smile on her lips: "It doesn't matter, I'll accompany you."

    After he finished speaking, he poured the well water into the basin and began to wash the soybean sprouts.

    Shi Hua looked down at him. The boy's bun was neatly combed and not messy at all. She suddenly felt a little panicked.
