I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 262 Calling for help

As the gatekeepers sang "Fang Longmen" loudly, Shen Changsui followed the students in front of him out of the examination room.

He had good stamina, so a one-day exam didn't affect him much, but some of his classmates were exhausted and almost fell down.

"Make way, make way, make way." Shen Changsui had just pulled his classmate out of the water when two groups of people rushed over from behind carrying two unconscious students.

At the same time, people fell down at the gate one after another. The doctor standing nearby rushed over to save them quickly, but it seemed that he was not enough.

As luck would have it, one of the candidates fell on the steps and started bleeding profusely in an instant.

The doctor who rushed over covered his wound with his hands but couldn't stop the bleeding, so he told everyone to wait until the wound was bandaged before lifting him up.

“After the exam every year, doctors’ business is at its peak.

This is just one exam. How can I pass the provincial examination when there are three exams to take? "Mr. Pan sat in the carriage with an unhappy look on his face.

Shen Cungeng replied: "Pay attention to physical training and don't give up riding and archery."

"Eh." Unfortunately, this rule is difficult to maintain, and Mr. Pan feels that the good rules are slowly falling apart.

On the mule cart next to them, Shen Xiaoye had another opinion: "Tsk tsk, if the doctors can save a bachelor's degree scholar, their reputation as famous doctors will be known to the public immediately."

"You are lazy." Grandfather Shen Shanyou said, "Your two uncles will not be in this situation. I have always supervised them to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies."

Hearing him praising both his son and himself, Shen Xiaoye and her grandmother looked at each other and both wanted to smile.

Erniu then said, "Look, why don't the candidates come out of Longmen anymore?

No, there are a lot of people crowded inside the door." The soldiers guarding outside rushed to the door.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the examination room door, and indeed no one was seen coming out.

Shen Xiaoye jumped out of the car: "Let's go and take a look." Several family members followed her, and the ten-inch boy ran towards the gate before her.

Inside the Dragon Gate, there were too many students in the front row, and they were squeezed into a crowd the moment they tried to move away. The students in the back were unaware of what was happening and kept moving forward.

Then, because there was a moment of stagnation at the exit, many people subconsciously walked and were pushed by the people behind them, and bumped into the people in front who were almost motionless. Examination baskets were constantly squeezed out, shoes were stepped on, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The soldiers patrolling the examination hall were startled and quickly blew their whistles to separate the examinees, but their manpower was scattered and it was difficult for them to form a united force for a while.

Moreover, the examinees were all educated people, so they could only shout loudly and did not dare to use violence.

Fortunately, Qianhu, who had been on guard all the time, reacted quickly and dispatched personnel to rush over.

When the examining officials received the news, they immediately went up to the second floor to observe the situation from afar, fearing that there might be a stampede.

"Hengnian, save me." Yue Jinxuan was pushed into the corner and was almost beaten to death.

Shen Changsui couldn't squeeze next to him, so he shouted loudly: "The inspector is here, please respectfully."

Then let his classmates and people around him shout this sentence.

It turned out to be quite effective. Smart people kept shouting loudly, and by the time it reached the last few people, the candidates had stopped pushing.

One is the sober ones who want to maintain their demeanor, and the other is groups of soldiers holding spears to clear the way and form lines to separate the groups of people.

The sharpened spear heads gleamed coldly. The examinees were tired from the exam, not stupid. They valued their lives.

The examiners on the far floor heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the situation was under control. Xue Xuezheng and his colleagues had locked the door as per the routine and were separated from the examinees, so they could not go to the scene to comfort them.

Just pass the message outside, asking the soldiers to be patient and calm.

Translation: It means be kind to the candidates and don't hurt anyone.

The captain of the garrison naturally knew his limits, and he had already reminded them of this.

Shen Changsui and his group were in the middle, while Shen Xiaoye and others were at the gate, eager to go in and pick up their own candidates.

This episode was quickly smoothed over and the candidates were escorted out in an orderly manner.

As soon as Shen Changsui showed his head, he saw a crowd of people in front of him waiting to welcome someone. While he was looking around, Shen Xiaoye asked his cousin Geng to lift him up and call for help.

But Shen Cungeng was careful and didn't listen to her. Instead, he chose to let Shicun lift him up and call him Fourth Uncle.

Shen Changsui saw him waving and shouting at him as if he was superior, and walked towards him lightly.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, he was immediately surrounded and urged to walk away. Yue Jinxuan and his classmates at the back looked at each other, wondering where their families were.

There are too many people to recognize!

Fortunately, there was Shicun waiting for them: "Sir, I have prepared ginseng soup, come with me."

……

After Mr. Zhanbie returned to his residence safely, Shen Changsui relaxed on the chair. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I don't want to move anymore."

"Let Erniu and the others carry you back to your room." Lin smiled and did not expose her.

Shen Shanyou snorted as usual: "He is beautiful."

"The bird's nest is here." As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiaoye came in with several servings of official bird's nest.

She said, "Fourth Uncle, will we have a retest the day after tomorrow?"

Everyone in the room looked at Shen Changsui. They had already known a lot of details about the exam in the past two days. Being able to take part in the re-examination meant that they had done well in the exam.

Basically, those who cannot take the retest have to wait and take the next subject again.

Shen Changsui nodded slightly: "This re-examination may be one day late because there are too many candidates.

Tomorrow, the papers will probably be graded not too early."

Just think about it, there were more than 200 candidates from Linghe County alone, competing for twenty scholar spots with more than one in ten being selected, and the number of candidates from all the counties in the capital combined was even greater.

The result was exactly as he expected. When the results were announced the next day, it was already past the hour of Si.

Fortunately, Shen Changsui was on the list, but at this moment he was already concentrating on discussing the content of the re-examination with his teacher and other classmates on the list.

Shen Xiaoye and her grandmother led everyone to prepare the copper coins.

In fact, there were quite a few copper wedges at home, but in order to make it easier to give change to customers, her aunt Huang didn't let her bring any.

So she took the silver and exchanged it for copper coins from the bank.

After the long-awaited re-examination was over, Shen Changsui's name was on the list again. Although his ranking was very low, who cared anymore!

Seeing handfuls of copper coins being distributed to those who brought the good news and the neighbors, Shen Xiaoye finally put his heart at ease after days of tension.

Now, my business in the county will be much easier. I won’t have to worry about being targeted even if I buy a shop.

As she was rejoicing, she suddenly saw Manager Wu leading a group of people in the crowd who came to congratulate her.

In a blink of an eye, the two men came to him from his grandparents' place and introduced that the person next to Manager Wu was the young master of Derun Cloth Shop.

He is called Young Master, but he is actually over forty years old.

Shen Xiaoye invited the people into the main hall, and the young master of the Wu family said straight to the point: "The 10,000 rolls of blue standard cloth that Miss Shen wanted have been properly prepared by Derun Cloth Shop. When do you have time to inspect them?"

Look, this is the benefit of my uncle passing the imperial examination.

Shen Xiaoye clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here. How much is the total price in silver? I can go back and get the silver."

The young master of the Wu family said: "Two thousand four hundred taels, you can pay half first to take the goods.

The rest can be paid later.”

Shen Xiaoye thanked him again, but she couldn't take advantage of this.
