Chapter 31 Acquaintance (please read)

Time flies so fast and it’s April in the blink of an eye.

It's the day of the government examination.

Runtu and others went to Shaoxing Prefecture.

Very close.

It only takes a few hours by horse-drawn carriage to arrive.

I found an inn here.

Nowadays, the Tongsheng examination is equivalent to obtaining a qualification certificate for the imperial examination.

After staying one night, I officially started taking the exam the next day.

The processes of the prefectural examination and the county examination are very similar.

Runtu already had experience, but he was still doing things the same way.

First, do the questions in space.

Then I revised and polished it, and when I felt it was almost ready, I finally transcribed it onto the test paper.

This method can reduce the discipline of errors as much as possible.

It is basically impossible to make mistakes if you are careful.

The process of the government examination is relatively long.

It didn't end until the afternoon.

After the exam, Runtu and the others returned to the inn.

It was no longer good to go back to Kuaiji at this time.

Although it is relatively close, it still takes several hours.

It's not convenient to rush on the road at night, so I might as well rest in an inn for another night.

While eating, I spotted an acquaintance.

Runtu saw a girl who was probably about the same age as him, maybe a year or two older.

It's Xiaocui.

I heard her singing in Kuaiji last year.

Xiaocui and her father moved around singing in several inns.

Xiaocui is now somewhat famous in Shaoxing.

This is also due to the water-melody singing that Runtu taught her.

Su Dongpo's lyrics and unique singing voice are still very charming.

Xiaocui's musical talent is very high, and she also made some slight changes to make it sound even more beautiful.

The listeners will give some reward more or less.

There are dozens of articles more, and a few articles less.

Didn't give too much.

This is already quite a lot, much more than before, and much more than before I started singing "I wish you a long life."

Xiaocui has been singing in Shaoxing for half a year and is now more or less a role.

The inn is not big.

After singing, Xiaocui saw Runtu.

Come over quickly.

"Son."

"Xiao Cui, I didn't expect you to come to Shaoxing."

"Shaoxing has more guests and more inns, so we can make more money."

Her father was still collecting money and didn't pay much attention to her daughter's arrival.

"How are you lately?"

"It's okay. Thanks to the song that Master taught me to sing, otherwise my father and I might not have come to Shaoxing. We can make some money these days. Master, are you coming to Shaoxing?"

"Exam, government exam."

"These gentlemen are all scholars. There are indeed more people in Shaoxing these days. Young Master, you will definitely be named on the gold medal list."

"It's just a government examination. Even if you pass it, you won't be able to get a title on the Toad Palace's gold medal list."

Xiaocui looked at the two people next to Runtu.

I feel like two little brats.

Usually women mature earlier than men.

Moreover, Runtu is two years older than Brother Xun and the others.

The age of fourteen or five is the time when the body is at its longest. When you are one or two years older, the changes will be very big.

"Sir, let me make you a pot of tea."

"Let's have a drink."

Runtu was more interested in drinks.

There shouldn't be any big surprises in this exam. Let's celebrate with a drink in advance.

"Sit down and have a drink together."

"Sir, I don't know how to drink."

"This wine is not intoxicating. Besides, your father is still here, so we won't do anything to you. We are not outsiders. These two are very close friends from my classmates."

The wine at this time is generally not intoxicating.

With a very small wine glass like that, it is probably normal for you to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

This wine has no alcohol content and is sweet. Anyway, in Runtu's opinion, it is just like drinking a drink.

The girl also had two drinks.

Runtu asked: "Xiao Cui, are you a teenager this year?"

"Young Master suddenly asked what you were doing."

A woman's age is a relatively private topic.

Although Xiaocui is a singer and has many contacts.

"Ask me casually, we're all friends, there's nothing we can't say. If you don't want to say it, then I'll say it. My age is fifteen, Brother Xun is thirteen, and this one is fourteen."

There are just about ten, thirty, forty-five.

"I never asked you this."

Runtu still wanted to know, she wanted to see if this woman was right with her guess.

He guessed that Xiaocui should be between fifteen and eighteen years old.

He thought of a way and said, "I guess you are twenty years old."

Xiaocui's face fell instantly. Girls don't like to discuss the topic of age. She seemed a little angry and said: "I'm only twenty, why did you add four years to my age for nothing? How could you

I just feel like I’m so old.”

"Oh, I understand, Miss Xiaocui turns out to be sixteen years old."

Now Xiaocui understood.

I secretly thought that scholars have so many thoughts. I was immediately hooked.

Brother Xun and the others also understood.

Especially Brother Xun, who looked at Runtu with even more admiration.

There is one more place for me to admire.

Xiaocui said with some annoyance: "Sir, you scholars are so bad and have so many thoughts. I am no match for you. When are you going to leave?"

"We'll leave tomorrow morning."

Waiting for the results after the exam.

I estimate that the results will be available in about half a month.

At that time, he will have the identity of Tong Sheng.
