After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Chapter 574 The Provincial Examination Ends

"Send this letter to Uncle Yang. After I leave tomorrow, I will send this letter to Dianzhou!"

Before Ming Jia had finished arranging things, Xie Boyuan had already returned home and ordered her to come over!

The master and apprentice chatted for a long time in the study room, including Xie Boyuan's advice, Ming Jia's questions, and more importantly, Xie Boyuan's suggestions.

The next day, Mingjia took his guards and Fang Hai and set off back to Qingzhou, while Chuanwu continued to stay in the capital.

At this time, Chen Xiaoliu and Shuang'er did not come with them. Mingjia asked Xie Boyuan to arrange a "course" for them. The young couple was also very busy.

Without Chen Xiaoliu, the person escorting the luggage became Shi Shi. In order to hurry up, Ming Jia took Ling Quan and Shi San first.

On the seventh day of August, outside Qingzhou City.

"Master, the city gate has been locked at this point. We can only enter the city early tomorrow morning!"

It was still a little late to hurry up and hurry up. Mingjia was a little annoyed sitting on the horse, and the horse's mood was also affected, and he kept kicking his hooves back and forth.

"The Gongyuan is in the south of the city. Let's drive a little way and go around to the south gate and rest there!"

After Mingjia finished speaking, he took the lead in waving his riding whip and ran towards the south...

In a courtyard in Qingzhou City, Mingjun had finished washing and was ready to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep because he was tossing and turning.

Ruying has told Mingjun that Mingjia has returned to Beijing safely and invited Master Xie to go back to Beijing with him. Mingjun also hopes that Mingjia can rest more in the capital.

Mingjun also wrote a letter back to Beijing, telling Mingjia that there was no need to rush to Qingzhou. He would have no problem preparing for the exam in Qingzhou.

But... Mingjun just couldn't sleep tonight, and soon Mingjun heard the sound of the night watch.

He had to get up before dawn tomorrow to get ready to enter the examination room. Mingjun didn't dare to continue thinking about it and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

Mingjun was gently woken up by Aman. He couldn't sleep well all night and was in a bad mood!

Aman was carrying a bamboo basket filled with food during the exam, and Mingjun was carrying a box specifically for candidates, which was filled with uniform writing and ink.

It was not yet bright, and everything a few feet away was hazy. Mingjun stood listlessly among the crowd and moved forward listlessly.

"Ah~! Who is that!"

"Why is it so high?"

"It's like standing on top of the carriage!"

Suddenly, the surrounding candidates started talking, and Mingjun looked up in the direction pointed by the crowd.

Ming Jun was dumbfounded. He couldn't clearly see the person's appearance, but his figure looked very much like Ming Jia!

"Aman, look, is that Mingjia?"

Mingjun called Aman next to him with some uncertainty. Aman's eyesight was better than Mingjun's. He stared at the figure for a while and suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Eldest Young Master, it's the Second Young Master! The Second Young Master has arrived!"

Mingjia and his people have been guarding the south gate in the middle of the night. No matter how many candidates come later, Mingjia is always the first to enter the city.

Mingjia was not only the first to enter the city, but also the first to ride to the gate of Gongyuan, choosing an excellent location to wait for his brother to arrive.

The candidates all lined up to enter the tribute courtyard. After entering the fence where they were first searched, Mingjia stopped the carriage on one side and simply stood on the roof of the carriage.

In order to prevent the officers and soldiers from driving them away, before Mingjia climbed onto the roof of the car, he took out his father's name card and gave it to Thirteen.

"Uncle Thirteen, when the officers and soldiers come to drive him away, you give him the famous letter and say that I will take the exam for my brother. I promise not to do anything inappropriate!"

Thirteen quickly took the name card, took a special look at the cover of the name card, nodded and put it in his arms.

On Mingjun's side, as the team got closer and closer to the entrance of Gongyuan, he became more and more convinced that the person standing on the roof of the carriage was indeed Mingjia.

"Aman, give me the things in a minute, and take Mingjia back to rest quickly!"

"Yes, young master!"

Mingjia had been staring at several teams. Suddenly Mingjia jumped off the roof of the car, causing the surrounding candidates to exclaim.

"Uncle Thirteen, I saw my brother, you are guarding the carriage here!"

Mingjia ducked in the crowd and came to Mingjun's side. The brother and sister looked at each other several times and spoke almost at the same time.

"Brother, didn't you sleep well?"

"Mingjia, are you on your way at night?"

"Brother, you look less energetic than me. The first exam is relatively easy. You can catch up on your sleep after you go in and don't rush to answer the questions!"

Ming Jia thought her brother Ming Jun was nervous, so she didn't dare to say anything to comfort her at this time, for fear of backfiring.

Ming Jun actually felt relieved when he saw Ming Jia. Although his spirit was a little weak, his whole heart suddenly became brighter.

"I'm fine. I rented a yard nearby. I'll let Aman take you back to rest later. The first exam will take three days. Wait until I come out to chat with you!"

"Okay! I cooked the chicken soup myself and will wait for you to drink it when you come back!"

After hearing Mingjia's assurance, Mingjun suddenly didn't want to drink this bowl of chicken soup anymore!

Ming Jun only had time, waved to Ming Jia, and entered the fence of Gongyuan.

Mingjia arrived at the small courtyard and slept for a full day before catching up on her sleep. When she got up, she asked Aman to buy a chicken!

"Before, my brother had the chicken soup stewed by Granny Yan as soon as he left the examination room. I must have it this time too. I'll practice my skills in advance!"

Aman actually wanted to say that he could make chicken soup, and he could make chicken soup for the young master.

But... Aman thought that the eldest young master might like the chicken soup made by the second young master himself, so he hurried to the market to buy old hens.

Mingjia originally had some theoretical basis in cooking, but lacked some practical experience, but Mingjia was cautious enough!

Chicken soup!

First blanch the chicken and pour some wine into it to remove the fishy smell. Remove the blood foam and then take it out and wash it.

After that, Mingjia only needs to ensure that the most error-prone part for novice cooks is fine.

The first is not to overcook the pot, and the second is not to add too much salt.

Facts have proved that Mingjia’s main goal is to pass the test, and the chicken soup he cooks is not amazing, but it is definitely drinkable!

"It tastes delicious! Second Young Master, your craftsmanship is really good!"

Aman held the bowl and praised repeatedly. Compared with the guards at Mingjia's side who drank soup with cold expressions, Aman was really a considerate boy.

So, after Mingjun left the examination room, he actually drank the chicken soup cooked by his sister Mingjia. Mingjun held the soup bowl and praised Mingjia repeatedly.

[Sure enough... every master has his own servant]

Thinking of this, Mingjia felt helpless. The guards around him didn't follow him either!

The nine-day autumn period finally ended. Mingjun, who was in excellent physical condition, left the examination room and slept for a whole day. Of course, he was much better than the candidates who were carried out of the Gongyuan.

"Mingjia, I have asked people to buy wood and stone according to your drawings, and the village chief's uncle has already taken care of the land!"

Mingjun didn't know yet that he was going on a study tour after the provincial examination, and thought he would be separated from Mingjia in Qingzhou.

"Brother, there's something I haven't told you all this time. After the provincial examination, master wants you to go to Jiangnan to study!"

"I'm not in a hurry to go back to Dianzhou, so... let's go to Jiangnan together~"
