Just as Jiang Zhixia arranged for Uncle He and Aunt Zhang to prepare for various things for the winter, the day for the autumn examination was announced.

On the first day of September, early in the morning, the alley was filled with people.

Aunt Li and Wei Zhuxian hired a carriage to the tribute court to see the list. Lord Wu and Lord Fan also arranged for family servants to take the carriage to the gate of the tribute court to wait for the list to be posted.

As a neighbor, Jiang Zhixia naturally had to care about it. So she arranged for Uncle He to pay attention to the movement outside the door. No matter who was beaten, she would come back to report the good news quickly so that she could go and send a gift.

Jiang Zhixia even prepared the gift, the four treasures of the top-quality study were in triplicate.

At the end of the Si period, Uncle He asked Aunt Zhang to come in and report to Xia that Xiucai Wei failed the exam.

When Uncle He heard Aunt Li's crying sound at the door and saw Wei Xiucai's mourning face, he knew that he had failed the exam. He didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he quickly closed the door quietly.

Wei Xiucai fell out of the list, so Zhixia naturally had no time to go and congratulate him again.

Not long after, news came one after another, and Lord Wu and the young master of Mr. Fan also failed the exam.

I heard that it is because the emperor is in a good mood this year. Therefore, in order to make the emperor feel more impressed by the spring exam next year, there are a lot of students and supervisors this year.

Therefore, ordinary families like Wei Xiucai and others who are not particularly talented and knowledgeable naturally failed the exam.

It was rare for a few days to be quiet in the alley.

Not only are the children in the alleys detained at home and are not allowed to go out to play, but even the children are naughty and the sound of adults beating children is much smaller, for fear of provoking these three frustrated people.

Not only is this the case in the alley, but even the business in the shops on the street is slightly affected.

Except for some wealthy families who have nothing to do with the scientific examination, they will also buy various things unscrupulously. Others who have candidates at home are not happy to go shopping and buy things.

Jiang Zhixia was worried that Zhu Cuilou's business would also be affected, and she was worried that others would ask for inquiries, so she went to Sheng'an Street to secretly check the situation.

Zhu Cuilou's business was indeed somewhat affected, but overall it was OK. After all, the main customers of the jewelry sold by Zhu Cuilou are the wives and ladies of the nobles and nobles. They were very little influenced by the imperial examination.

Zhu Cuilou also informed him in advance that new accessories will be launched in a while, which also ensures continuous popularity.

Just when the alley was quiet, Chu Mufeng next door was resting again.

The alley that had been quiet for several days suddenly became noisy. Because Chu Mufeng was a single man, there were more people calling friends to gather and drink when they were resting.

After Chu Mufeng heard that the three candidates in the alley failed the exam and stayed at home and were depressed, he called a table at home and went to someone else's house, and half forced the three scholars to invite them to his house for a drink.

At the end of the drink, the three of them burst into tears, but their hearts were all opened and they could go out to meet people.

When Jiang Zhixia heard the children talking about this at the door, she was so funny.

It turns out that it is a simple way for a simple person to cure it, which is not simple and pretentious.

Isn’t it just pretentious? It’s just that I didn’t do well in an exam. Life is long and there are many roads. Will I not live in the future?

"After my uncle failed the exam, my mother didn't let me speak loudly at home." The boy from the Wu family said angrily, "My uncle has been holding it in the house and never going out for several days. My grandfather and grandma are so anxious, but they dare not say anything. My mother said that she was afraid of irritating my uncle. This time, my uncle drank at Uncle Chu's house. After coming back drunk, he left the room by himself, and said that he would study hard again in the future and fight again in three years." The boy from the Wu family continued to laugh and said.

"That's right, that's right. My eldest brother is like this. Thanks to Uncle Chu, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go out to play now and I can't speak loudly at home. But I'm suffocating me to death." The boy from Mr. Fan also agreed.

After playing games at the door for a while, the children took a pack of snacks given by Jiang Zhixia and went home happily.

Jiang Zhixia was about to close the door, but saw the little girl from Mr. Fan secretly running back and pulling her skirt.

"What's wrong?" Zhixia squatted down and asked softly.

"I overheard my mother chatting with my grandmother. My mother said Grandma Li was asking the official matchmaker to say kiss to Uncle Wei." The little girl from the Fan family said in a quiet voice, "My grandma also said Uncle Wei is 25 this year. She also said that Grandma Li originally thought that Uncle Wei passed the exam this year, so she went to marry an official lady. Uncle Wei failed the exam, so Grandma Li asked the official matchmaker to say kiss. However, my mother and my grandma thought that Sister Jiang were very good, and said that if you marry Uncle Wei, it would be good. Sister Jiang, would you marry Uncle Wei?"

After the little girl finished speaking, her big eyes stared at Zhixia with a glittering light and asked.

Jiang Zhixia was so amused and crying.

"No. My sister doesn't want to get married, and Aunt Li doesn't want to say a kiss either. Niu Niu's mother and grandma are thinking too much. Niu Niu don't have to care about it, so don't talk about this outside." Zhixia still told softly.

"Yeah. Niu Niu didn't tell others, she just secretly told her sister. Thank you for your snacks." Seeing that the question had an answer, Niu Niu was satisfied with her curiosity, she took the snacks and ran back shyly.

When Jiang Zhixia saw Niu Niu running away, she shook her head and stood up with a smile. When she turned around and was about to go home, she saw Chu Tiankuo standing at Chu Mufeng's door.

Zhixia was stunned at first, afraid that he would hear what he said to Niu Niu, so she looked at the distance between the doors on both sides and felt relieved. It was so far that she shouldn't be able to hear it.

Chu Tiankuo saw Jiang Zhixia discovering him, so he bowed to her.

Jiang Zhixia quickly replied with a gift.

After each of them gave their own gifts, Zhixia was hesitating whether to enter the door directly, and saw Chu Tiankuo walking towards her, Zhixia had to stop.

"I haven't seen each other for a while, how nice is Miss Jiang?" Chu Tiankuo greeted first.

"Fortunately, is Mr. Chu Xiu Mu?" Zhixia had no choice but to reply.

"Yes. The Japanese army is not busy recently, so I have more days to go out. I heard that Mu Feng got drunk yesterday, so I came over and have a look." Chu Tiankuo explained, and probably wanted to smile, but for many years on the battlefield, his face became stiffer and he just pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Brother Chu is anxious that the emperor is so righteous. I heard that Brother Wei and the others failed the exam, so I explained it." Zhixia praised a few times, and felt that there was nothing to say, so she wanted to say goodbye and leave.

Chu Tiankuo's mouth squirmed and moved, but said nothing. He just watched Zhixia turn around and enter the door.

Jiang Zhixia, who turned around and entered the door, could still feel the gaze behind her staring at her, feeling a little strange.

However, Zhixia thought about it and didn't expect that there was something special, so she let it go and ignore it.
