Chapter 246: Examination
When Qin Chi goes to take a medicinal bath.
Song Jin went to see Dr. Jing in private.
Asked about Qin Chi''s body.
再顺便提起了秦家沟那里，关于秦驰命不久矣的传言。
景大夫看出了宋锦的担忧，宽慰道：“夫人，公子的弱症已经调养得差不多，只要他不要胡乱折腾，按时吃药，活到七老八十不成问题。”
"Are you saying true?"
Song Jin''s surprise on her face was not concealed.
景大夫点头，“不过此事公子不让我同外人提及。”
“那我岂不是给您添麻烦了？”听到秦驰的身子没事情，宋锦总算是放心了，这毕竟是她惦记了很久的一桩心事。
景大夫乐呵呵道：“夫人不是外人。”
宋锦听了，眉眼带笑道：“这理由很好，若是我相公问起，就用这个理由堵他的嘴。”
"Hahaha…"
Settled down.
杨家和袁家的事情，宋锦偶尔关注一下，最大的心神是在秦驰的身体上面。
After Song Jin''s careful care.
秦驰舟车劳顿将近一个月，还是在冬日这个季节，破天荒的没有生病。
Until the eighth day of the second month, I was still very energetic.
Song Jin personally sent Qin Chi to the tribute court.
半路上的马车，却差点出了意外。
A ox cart rushed out of the alley.
拉车的大牛不知受了什么刺激，发疯的冲向秦驰和宋锦的马车，是扮成路人的暗卫，及时出手将发疯的牛控制住。
Avoid an accident.
The carriage crossed the accident site.
宋锦掀起车窗帘子往后头望了一眼，再放下帘子的时候，她脸上的笑容消失。但为了避免影响到秦驰去参加考试的心态，她什么都没说。
秦驰却握起宋锦的手，“娘子怀疑有人冲着我来的？”
"It''s not doubt, it''s certain."
Song Jin didn''t believe it was a coincidence.
The imperial examination has always attached great importance to it.街道时常有官兵巡逻，一些重要地方都已经封路。
考生需要在今日把考牌拿到手，然后在第二天丑时，即在送考的提学大人引领下，前往顺天贡院。经过验明正身后，考生才能进入考场。
After Qin Chi came to the capital, he did not leave his home.
Today is my first time going out.
没有想到这么低调了，还是有人盯上了他。
Song Jin looked at Qin Chi in a complicated manner.
How hateful is this person in the Imperial College?
“娘子能别用这种眼神看我吗？看得我心底发毛。”秦驰半开玩笑的说道。
宋锦尴尬地收回视线，“你安心考试，外面的事情由我和李叔他们来调查。”
"Well, I feel relieved to have a wife."
秦驰语气自然，听得宋锦耳朵微微发痒。
Until the person was sent to the location.
Qin Chi got off the carriage.
There are officers and soldiers blocking the road, and even the carriage cannot pass.
秦驰表明考生的身份，官兵放行。进去没多久，见到了个熟人，对方正向他挥手。
"Brother Qi''an!" Lu Yanji shouted.
在吕延吉身边，还站着一表人才的秦明松。
Lv Yanji came to the capital last year. Qin Chi wanted to stay in Yi County to spend the New Year with his family.
秦明松问道：“大郎什么时候到的？我初四去找你，门房说你还没到京城。”
“冬天路不好走，耽搁了一些天。”秦驰简单地解释了句，接着他又开始问，“你们领考牌了吗？我还没领。”
"Then you go quickly." Lu Yanji urged.
The two have already received it. Seeing this, Qin Chi went to queue up first.
万余名的考生聚在一起，很多考生心里都没底。要知道每次会试录取的名额不多，通常只有三百名左右。
After verifying the correctness of the body.
Then go through strict body search.
It''s really very strict.
在这么冷的天，考生要两人一组，进入一个临时搭的棚子里，再脱衣递给一名官兵来检查。
另外一个官兵，要检查考生的身体是否有字，连腋窝及大腿内侧都没有放过。
有过前面几场考试，秦驰还算淡定。 After entering the venue, you will find your own room.
I’m very lucky, not a bad stinky figure.
等他打扫完号房，笔墨纸砚摆好没多久。
The exam has also begun.
首先是一个衙役举着木牌走过来。 The first test was policy theory and test poems.
秦驰抬头将木牌上的试题快速抄录下来，等抄完了再专心的细读一遍。
会试的内容与乡试类似，仍旧是考四书五经、策问和诗赋，但难度更高，要求更严格。
The exam questions will be reviewed by the emperor himself.
To ensure fairness and authority.
每一场考试结束后，试卷由考官密封编号，再由另一批考官阅卷，以确保公正。
It''s ugly, and Qin Chi is busy taking the exam.
Song Jin was still asleep outside.
The owner of the ox cart is an old farmer and has been detained by secret guards. No matter how he interrogates, he will bite him to death. Even if Old Li was punished, he could not let the other party give in.
Song Jin''s hands were caged in her sleeves.
She watched the whole process quietly, but she didn''t say anything. In fact, everyone almost forgot about her existence.
"Uncle Li, there is no need to retrial."
Song Jin suddenly spoke.
This made the room quiet.
There was a brazier in the interrogation room, and even at night, the illumination was very bright. Take a look at everyone''s expressions clearly.
Old Li was surprised, "Madam, there must be someone behind him, I don''t believe that I can''t pry his mouth open."
"Okay, he would rather die than say it, either it was a real surprise or he was threatened by someone and could not say it. Is there anything more important than his life?" Song Jin seemed to be speaking casually, but he paid attention to the old man''s reaction.
Old Li cooperated and said, "I''m familiar with this, so I''ll send someone to his house to find it. If no one is probably controlled, it''s just right to catch someone. I dare to harm my young master, haha..."
The old man finally showed anxiety on his face.
Song Jin could guess from the old man''s reaction that the only one who could make him rather die than speak was his relatives.
The old man''s identity has been found during the day and has sent someone out of the city to find his family. It’s just a coincidence that it was midnight when I came back, and the city gate must have been closed.
You will know tomorrow.
Song Jin turned around and left the room for temporary interrogation.
Lao Li did not continue to review.
Only one person is left here to watch.
Song Jin went back to the dormitory and took a light sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Old Li had already found out the truth. The secret guard brought back the old man''s family, and the old man finally spoke out the person he was instructing.
Old Li said, "This family is a tenant whom Mrs. Yuan is dowrying the farm. The day before yesterday, a nanny came to his house and asked him to do this. If he doesn''t do it, he will drive his family out of the farm."
“So stupid.”
Song Jin cursed in a low voice.
Old Li said again: "This matter cannot be separated from Mrs. Yuan."
So, Mrs. Yuan is really stupid.
Pick the persimmons and pick the soft ones.
In the eyes of Mrs. Yuan, Qin Chi is undoubtedly a soft persimmon.
