Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 107 Timely Rain Gui Jingan

"Okay, thank you." Hualei thanked him politely and handed the test certificate to Xiaoyuan. The whole registration process was over in about a quarter of an hour.

Hualei collected the household registration information and slowly walked out with Xiaoyuan. From a distance, she saw Rong Jin, who was wearing a blue student uniform, rushing over from the opposite side.

"Sister Hua, Xiaoyuan, have you registered?" Rong Jin asked loudly.

"Yes, everything is ready. How did you get here?" Hua Lei asked with a smile.

"Well, a few classmates and I are arranging the tables and chairs and setting up the examination room in the classroom. Bring out the test certificate so I can see it. Which examination room number is it?" Xiao Yuan took out the piece of hard card from his school bag and handed it to Rong Jin.

"Oh, examination room No. 12. The examination room is nice and very quiet." Rong Jin took Xiaoyuan a few steps and pointed to a large bungalow with black tiles and white walls in the distance and said, "Xiaoyuan, do you see it? The house on the far right, the teaching building on the far right, is examination room No. 12. It's very easy to find. Someone should lead you there in time. Seats will also be arranged for you. But you can't go in now, I'll take you out first." Rong Jin took Xiaoyuan's hand and walked towards the gate of the Imperial College side by side with Hua Lei.

"Have you seen Gui Jijiu?" Rong Jin asked softly.

"No. I looked carefully at the registration office, and there is no Gui Jijiu." Rong Jin nodded.

"When I came this morning, I ran into Gui Jijiu, and he asked me if you guys were here. I guess he's busy now too." Rong Jin explained. Hua Lei nodded.

After sending Hua Lei and her brother to the gate of the Imperial College, Rong Jin said, "Sister Hua, you go back first today. Let Xiaoyuan go back and have a rest. Xiaoyuan, don't study so hard these two days. Just maintain a normal pace and go to bed early at night so that you can go all out the day after tomorrow."

Xiaoyuan nodded obediently. Rong Jin touched Xiaoyuan's head and said, "Be good, as long as you perform normally, you will definitely get in. Don't worry too much." Rong Jin comforted him again.

He watched the two of them get on the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, and said a few words to Butler Pei before letting the carriage go. He turned around and hurried into the gate of the Imperial College.

When they returned to the mansion, it was almost time for lunch. The siblings went to Songhe Hall and had lunch with Old Madam Pei. After talking about the registration for the Imperial College, Hualei asked Xiaoyuan to go back to the clan school. She was in Songhe Hall, talking to Old Madam Pei about the newly bought farm. When it was time for Old Madam Pei to take a nap, Hualei came out of Songhe Hall and returned to Qihuayuan.

Regardless of whether Xiaoyuan was nervous or not, August 13th arrived in the blink of an eye. After eating the breakfast carefully arranged by Ruan, Hualei got on the carriage with Xiaoyuan and Rongjue. They were sent to the Imperial College for the exam, and Butler Pei accompanied them.

Rong Jin went ahead of them because he had to go to the Imperial College to help. Seeing Ruan standing in front of the carriage, repeatedly telling Rong Jue to pay attention to this and that, Hua Lei couldn't help but think of the scenes in her past life when parents sent their children to take the college entrance examination. It seems that whether in ancient times or modern times, parents' desire for their children to succeed is the same. After comforting Ruan, who seemed even more nervous than Rong Jue, the carriage slowly drove towards the Imperial College.

Because they had to enter the exam hall at 4:45 of the morning hour, Hualei and the others set out early before 4:45 of the morning hour. When they arrived at the gate of the Imperial College, fortunately, it was just after 2:45 of the morning hour. At this time, there were already several neat lines of people at the school gate. There were many students coming to take the exam, and there were even more family members who came to send them off. Despite the large number of people, the entire gate of the Imperial College seemed orderly and well-organized because there were many students maintaining order, without any chaos or noise.

When Hua Lei and the others got off the carriage, students came up to check the exam vouchers, and then took Xiao Yuan and Rong Jue to different teams according to the information on the exam vouchers. Rong Jue's exam room number was number five, and it was not the same exam room as Xiao Yuan. Hua Lei asked Butler Pei to accompany Rong Jue. She took Xiao Yuan and lined up behind team number twelve.

"Miss Hua, are you here?" A clear voice sounded beside Hua Lei.

"Mr. Gui, why are you here?" Hua Lei was a little surprised.

"Well, I'm here to maintain order today. I saw you from a distance just now, so I came to see you. Is this your brother Hua Moyuan?" Gui Jingan smiled and looked at Hua Lei, and then looked at Xiao Yuan beside Hua Lei. The brother and sister look very similar, with round and bright eyes, just like the eyes of a deer.

"Yes, this is my younger brother Hua Moyuan. Xiaoyuan, this is Master Gui Jingan. Our bookstore gets its goods from Master Gui's printing house."

Hua Lei did not say that Gui Jing'an was the grandson of the chief priest. After all, they were standing at the gate of the Imperial College, and Xiao Yuan was here to take the entrance exam. To avoid suspicion, Hua Lei deliberately changed her words.

Gui Jingan smiled when he heard this. Miss Hua was always so smart and insightful. She never caused gossip when she spoke or did things, which made people feel at ease. Today, he deliberately exchanged the task of maintaining order at the gate with his classmates, and he also had his own selfish motives.

"Hua Moyuan greets Master Gui." Xiaoyuan greeted politely.

"Hua Shao... Xiao Yuan, don't be so polite. I heard your sister call you that, so I'll call you that too." Gui Jing'an blushed and leaned over to ask, "Are all the things ready? Except for the pen, inkstone, and inkstone, you can't bring any paper in. And you have to check the pockets of your clothes later. There must not be any paper with words on it."

"Yes, I brought all the pens, ink and inkstone. Except for this exam voucher on hard cardboard, I didn't bring any other papers." Xiao Yuan opened the school bag in his hand to show Gui Jingan, and then opened his pocket.

"Okay, that's it." Gui Jing'an gently touched Xiaoyuan's head, "Don't be nervous, the inspection is a routine inspection, and it's the same for everyone. Just follow the person in front of you. After entering the examination room, find your seat first. The seat list is posted at the entrance of the examination room. Go to the examination room and find the corresponding number and name and sit down. Your name and number will be on the upper right corner of the desk."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Gui." Xiao Yuan nodded and pursed his lips.

"Just call me brother. When you get the test paper, check it first to see if it is complete and if there is anything unclear. If there is, raise your hand immediately and the invigilator will give you a new test paper. After the test paper is in good condition, write your name and number first. This is very important."

Gui Jingan paused and said, "Also, during the exam, don't look around. Even if something happens suddenly in the exam room, as long as the invigilator doesn't look for you, just focus on answering the questions yourself." Gui Jingan continued.

"Got it. Thank you, Mr. Gui." Xiao Yuan thanked him again.
