Chapter 410 Ridiculous

The officer hurriedly replied, "This candidate is not a poor student, but the son of Bai Tongzhi's family."

When Song Ying heard this, she didn't want to go anymore. The son of Bai Tongzhi's family was Bai Heng, the Bai brother who had once made things difficult for her, and Bai Liang was his cousin, and also Bai Tongzhi's nephew.

When their identity was discovered, Song Ying was very worried for a while, fearing that they would retaliate, but for some reason, the two of them did not take any action, so Song Ying completely put the matter aside.

Soon, she felt strange again. It shouldn't be like this. After all, the fear was a mental illness.

For ordinary poor students, the county examination is an opportunity to change their destiny. It is even more tense because it is important and valued enough.

In addition, students from poor families rarely see officials, and they have been influenced by their parents' fear of officials since childhood. So when they go to the county government to take the exam, the timid ones are naturally nervous.

If he is also burdened with the heavy hope of the whole family, coupled with a lack of confidence in his own abilities, the combined force of all parties will make him even more likely to be terrified.

But to the brothers Bai Heng and Bai Liang, let alone the county government, even the prefectural government was nothing to be afraid of. They saw officials every day, and the clerks in the government office had to nod and bow when they saw him.

Even if they failed the exam, their family wouldn't have to eat coarse food, so why would they be so scared?

Could it be that the Bai family disciplined them very strictly? If they failed the exam, their family would give them a very severe punishment, beating them so hard that they couldn't get out of bed for several days?

After thinking about the personalities of the two brothers, she felt that it was more likely that Bai Heng was the one who was terrified.

Although Bai Liang's grades in the academy were worse, he had a hot temper and didn't seem like the kind of person who would freak out under pressure.

Soon the Bai family's carriage arrived. Just as she had guessed, it was Bai Heng who was frightened, and Bai Liang was standing beside her, extremely anxious.

Seeing Song Ying, she looked very uncomfortable, and immediately shouted to the officer in dissatisfaction: "Why did you call her here? What kind of illness can a little girl treat? Why don't you go and call Doctor Chen and Doctor Li!"

"Liang'er, don't be rude."

The noble lady at the side stopped him and said to Song Ying anxiously and apologetically: "You are Doctor Lin's apprentice, Doctor Song, come and take a look at my son!"

The officer who brought Song Ying and the other two over consoled them, "Don't worry, Madam. This young doctor has just cured a very frightened candidate. His medical skills are superb."

Song Ying hurriedly said, "It was just luck. I can't say that my medical skills are superb."

The premise of provoking others is that the other party is unaware of the situation. It is clear that she is here to get treatment, so how can we use provocation to persuade her?

As she spoke, she felt the patient's pulse as usual and her brows furrowed instantly.

When the wife of the Tongzhi saw her expression, she became even more nervous, "Doctor Xiao Song, how is my son?"

Song Ying looked at Bai Heng, whose eyes were dark and whose face was haggard, and cleared his throat twice, then made way for him. "Brother, you come."

Lin Wenxuan was a little suspicious. Although he was his senior brother, Song Ying had been catching up in recent years and was better than him in taking pulses. What was the point of him coming if she was not sure about the pulse? He should just call him master.

Suspicious, Lin Wenxuan put his hand on Bai Heng's wrist. Soon, his expression became very subtle, which made the wife of the Tongzhi very anxious. "How is my son?"

"Ahem," Lin Wenxuan also cleared his throat twice, and said in great embarrassment, "Your son has been having too much sex recently, and his body is weak. Once he is nervous, he will go crazy.

The anxious Bai family members and Bai Heng's good classmates were all silent, while the Tongzhi's wife's expression suddenly became very interesting, suddenly turning red, then blue, and finally black.

She stared at Bai Heng, who was shaking badly. Her lips moved a few times, but no words came out.

But everyone could guess the situation without her saying anything. With the exam approaching, everyone was studying and writing with all their might, wishing they could review their lessons even in their dreams. Bai Heng, on the other hand, was having fun.

Bai Heng was also stunned. He didn't expect that he could find out this by just feeling a pulse!

Seeing the look on the wife's face, he hurriedly explained, "Mom, I'm just too nervous. I couldn't sleep for days. I wanted to relax..."

His explanation made the wife of the Tongzhi even more embarrassed, especially since this happened in public. She felt that her son had brought disgrace upon the entire family.

She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and ordered the servants: "Help him up and send him to the examination room. Even if he dies today, he can only die in the examination room!"

Song Ying hurriedly said, "Mrs. Wang, you can't do that. Your son is still sick right now. There is nothing in the examination room. If his condition gets worse, his life may be in danger!"

The wife of the Tongzhi was so angry that she lost her mind. "It doesn't matter if this useless thing dies! What are you still standing there for? Hurry and carry him in!"

The others also tried to persuade her, but the wife of the Tongzhi was determined. Song Ying had no choice but to ask the servants of the Bai Mansion to get their ginger soup, and gave Bai Heng three bowls of it before letting the officers help him enter the Dragon Gate.

After the incident here was resolved, Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan returned to the waiting area. Doctor Ma was taking a patient's pulse. When he saw them coming back, he asked, "What's going on over there? Why does it sound like a fight is about to break out?"

The two of them naturally told the truth.

Doctor Ma's mouth twitched, and he glared at Lin Wenxuan, "You are also an idiot. Why are you talking about excessive sexual intercourse at this time? Just say that he is sick and cannot take the exam. If we force him in under such circumstances, if something happens to Young Master Bai, our clinic may also be blamed."

"We have tried to persuade her, but the wife of the Tongzhi insisted on having her own way, and there is nothing we can do." Song Ying spoke for Lin Wenxuan.

Doctor Ma sighed, "You two are still too young and lack experience."

As the candidates entered one after another, after the initial tension, the area in front of the dragon gate was no longer crowded, and doctors such as Song Ying also had some free time again. Doctor Li next to them, with his medicine boy, also came and sat down, and they warmed themselves around the stove together.

Inside the Dragon Gate, Yuan Qing and other examinees were brought to the court to wait, with a clerk calling out their names.

Soon, the name of Yuan Qing was read, and the clerk said, "Yuan Qing from Qinghua Village, Xu Zhiwen, a student from the imperial academy, is the guarantor."

This student was found by Shen Jing, and he acted as guarantor for the two of them and three other students from the academy. Of course, he was given a gift money, but for Shen Jing's sake, the student did not charge more.

Yuan Qing bowed his head and saluted the Magistrate Chen at the top. A steady voice sounded beside him, "Student Xu Zhiwen is here to protect you."

It was still dark at this time, and the students who served as guarantors stayed in one place. Yuan Qing could not see Xu Zhiwen clearly. He took the test paper and went to find a seat under the guidance of a minor official.

With a clerk leading him, he didn't need to look for it specifically. During the trip, he passed by Shen Jing's examination room. The two looked at each other without saying a word.

After all, this is an examination room. Although the exam has not officially started yet, casual conversation can easily be suspected of cheating.
