    The next day, someone still went to Huixing Street to deliver charcoal. Two heavy baskets were carried to the door of the house. Yu Shu came out to answer the door and saw that the two porters who came to deliver charcoal were sweating profusely. He was too embarrassed to ask anyone to ask for it again.  Carry it back.  Just after breakfast, several women in the alley washed dishes and pots and came out to pour out the sour water. When they saw it, they gathered in front of Yu Shu's house to look at it, pointing at the black and green vegetables neatly stacked in the basket.  Kiln charcoal clicked his tongue.  For ordinary people living in the south of the city, the charcoal used for cooking in winter is picked up from cooking stoves, and buying charcoal from the charcoal kiln for heating is a very luxurious thing.  "Yu Sheng, how much does this charcoal cost per pound? Why did you buy so much? Have you burned it all?" Aunt Xu, who is from the opposite door and has contacts with Yu Shu's family, asked her in a familiar tone.  "It's cold this year, so you should prepare more," Yu Shu laughed with the others. More and more people gathered in front of the door, and they quickly asked the porters to carry the charcoal basket inside.  Xue Rui not only sent charcoal, but also thoughtfully attached two flat stoves. A charcoal pit was hollowed out in the middle of the square. It was made of iron and was very heavy. No wonder the two porters were covered in sweat.  Yu Shu asked someone to put the charcoal basket and the iron stove in the corner of the main room. He went inside and got a handful of copper coins. He thanked the porter and sent the people away. He closed the door and returned to the house. He saw Jing Chen standing in front of the charcoal basket.  He was holding a hot coal and looking at it curiously.  "Is this also for making fire?" Jing Chen turned to ask Yu Shu.  "Well, it's for heating." Yu Shu walked up to him and stared at the charcoal stove on the ground, feeling awkward.  ¡°Before, she could regard Xue Rui¡¯s kindness as friendship and mutual help between friends, but she made it clear last night that she would not be able to feel at ease if she received any more favors from him.  ¡°But someone came all the way to pick her up, and she refused, right? How can she be picked back again?  That's too pretentious.  She was very grateful to Xue Rui. After all, she could almost write an account book of the debt she owed him. You said he was soft-spoken and short-handed. Unless necessary, she really didn't want to antagonize him.  Jing Chen got to know the new things, so he put the charcoal in his hand back into the basket and asked Yu Shu: "Did Mr. Xue send these to you?" "Yes." Jing Chen said: "He said to you brothers,  The two siblings are very caring and good people." After hearing Jing Chen's evaluation of Xue Rui, Yu Shu had a strange look on his face and tilted his head to look at him.  Jing Chen didn't know why she looked at him like this, "What's wrong?" "What an idiot," Yu Shu muttered in a low voice, bent down and picked up an iron stove, intending to carry it into the bedroom. Jing Chen saw that the thing was heavy,  She hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but Yu Shu turned sideways to avoid it, but no faster than him, Jing Chen took the iron stove out of her arms with one hand and asked her: "Where is it?" Yu Shu said to him  He worked hard and had no temper. Seeing that he didn't need his injured hand, he pointed to the remaining iron stove on the ground and said, "One for me and Xiao Xiu, and one for you." Jing Chen hesitated for a moment and said:  "I'm not afraid of the cold, so there's no need. Put one in the hall to keep it warm when eating." He was not afraid of the cold, but Yu Shu was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he said, "It will get colder in a few days. The mattress on your bed is already  The paving is not thick, so it¡¯s better to put one in the house and burn it before going to bed. When it¡¯s time to eat, just take it out of my house.¡± So one of the two stoves came to Jingchen¡¯s room.  Before Yu Shuchuo came here, his family was very ordinary. When he was a child, he lived in a relative's house in the countryside and used a charcoal stove.  She tried to burn a few pieces of charcoal sent by Xue Rui. After tinkering for a long time, she found that there was no smoke, so she lit up both stoves, closed the door, and soon after, the room became noticeably warmer.  The little guy Jinbao came out of nowhere and squatted next to the stove. Yu Shu thought it was dirty, so he took the opportunity to grab him and put him in the hot water basin to wash him. This little yellow-haired guy was unwilling to take a bath in the winter, chirping.  Wai Wai almost screamed at the top of her lungs, but in the end she couldn't escape.  Carrying the semi-wet Jin Bao to the stove, Yu Shu dried it while telling Jing Chen about the safety precautions of windshield ventilation when burning charcoal, and also taught him how to extinguish the stove.  Yu Xiaoxiu returned home and saw that there was a stove in the house. He was very surprised. Before starting the meal, he moved a stool around the stove to warm his hands, which made his face turn red.  It was night, Jing Chen was sitting alone in front of the window, lit by candlelight, flipping through the Taoist classics that he had read several times on the desk. When he heard the door closing and bolting of the big room on the other side of Yu Shu, he turned the book upside down on the table.  He got up and walked to the bed. The starry red stove was burning at the foot of the bed. Yu Shu came to the room to light it for him after dinner.  Jing Chen bent over and took off the iron lid and fastened it. After waiting for a while, he opened it again. When he saw that the fire in the furnace was extinguished, he returned to the table and sat down, turning the pages of the book and continuing to read.  It passed in a blink of an eyeTwo days later, on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, all Yi Kes in Anling City finally ushered in the triennial Great Evolution Examination.  There was no vigorous prelude, but there was a different atmosphere everywhere in the city. The six-subject unified examination became the biggest topic, and people from all walks of life set their sights on this year's Dayan examination.  Yu Shu got up when the sky was dim. She was the one who was going to take the exam. Yu Xiaoxiu was even more nervous than she was. He didn't sleep well all night. As soon as he heard the sound of her getting up, he jumped up and hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the kitchen.  When he went to start the stove, Jing Chen got up earlier than the two siblings. He had already lit a fire in the kitchen and boiled all the hot water.  Yu Xiaoxiu went into the house to get a bunch of copper coins, hugged a big bowl, and ran to the street to buy breakfast.  The only person in the family still lying in bed is Jinbao, sleeping soundly under Yu Xiaoxiu¡¯s pillow.  The biggest candidate, Yu Shule, enjoyed special treatment. After washing herself, she dressed up. Although she no longer had to hide her gender in front of Jing Chen, and the Dayan exam stamp was for a female student, she was still a delicate and handsome young man.  Dress up instead of changing back into women's clothes.  Firstly, it was because she was short of winter skirts and jackets and had no need to change them. Secondly, she felt that wearing a robe was more convenient than a skirt, so she did not waste money on purchasing one.  Yu Shu put all the pens, inks, and paperweights needed for the exam into a small book box, checked them carefully, and placed the most important exam papers close to her body. She leaned against the door of the bedroom and looked quietly at the person outside.  Jing Chen, who was placing bowls and chopsticks in front of the dining table, and Yu Xiaoxiu, who was squatting by the stove adding charcoal, felt at ease in their hearts.  She couldn't help but think of many years ago, when she was still a young student, during the big exam in full swing, her parents and younger brother were the same as now, cautiously surrounding her for two days and two nights. It was her farewell.  The last of my youthful nervousness and timidity.  The same scene, but now a different state of mind. After years and growth, for a person who has spanned five hundred years of history, she feels more lucky at this moment.  ¡°I¡¯m glad to live another life, I¡¯m glad to have this present day.  "Brother, come and eat." Yu Xiaoxiu pulled out a stool and called Yu Shu over.  Yu Shu walked to the table and sat down, took the spoon he handed to him, looked up at Jing Chen who was enjoying the soup, and turned to Yu Xiaoxiu: "Call sister, your brother Jing already knows." Jing Chen's actions  One stop.  ".¡§Ah?" Yu Xiaoxiu opened his mouth wide after realizing it. Yu Shu stuffed a bun into his mouth and said: "Eat quickly." Putting the sweet porridge in front of Yu Shu, Jing Chen  The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, showing a smile.  Although Xue Rui said that she would send someone to pick up Yu Shu, she still rented a carriage in advance to be prepared. It turned out that it was unnecessary. As soon as she came out of the alley, she saw a carriage waiting at the north end of the street.  The red lacquered canopy pulled by the strong horse clearly should not be parked in a residential area in the south of the city. Although it was not the car that Mr. Xue Rui was riding in, the tall and thin coachman, Yu Shu, who was standing outside the car, was in the car where Xue Rui was sitting.  She had seen it a few times. The time Xue Rui took her to visit Xia Jiang's family, this was the car driven by the driver named "Old Cui".  Yu Shu wanted to take a detour, but the coachman was sharp-eyed and waved his arms at her from afar, so she couldn't pretend not to see him, so she had to walk up with a smile.  "Old Cui." "Girl, please get in the car. I will take you to Taichengsi." Lao Cui rolled up the car door curtain with a smile.  Yu Shu didn't want to embarrass a servant, so he got into the carriage. The carriage was warmed and the weather was different from the outside. There was a small round table in the middle, with warm tea and two plates of snacks.  The appearance is so exquisite that you can't bear to eat it. The seat is lined with a thick layer of leather, which comes from an unknown animal. It is smooth and soft.  Yu Shu sat on it for a while, feeling comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time.  She is indeed a person who likes to enjoy herself. Most of the money she earned from the immoral things she did in her previous life was spent on Lei. However, she has never treated herself badly. She should eat and wear as long as she can afford it.  She was reluctant to spend money and became stingy. It was only after she came here.  " However, her favorite enjoyment is to be self-sufficient. Even if she makes dirty money, it is still her ability. It is not like this, just sitting back and enjoying the gains.  Fortunately, the carriage ran very fast, and the wheels reached the north of the city.  There are five divisions under Si Tianjian, and this Taicheng division is one of them. It is also the largest one. It is located on Xihuafu Street and occupies ten acres of land. There is a spacious road in front of the gate, which can accommodate four people.  Five carriages were traveling together.  But today the street was very congested. All the candidates were coming, let alone carriages, so it was difficult for people to squeeze in. Yu Shu got out of the car at the intersection, carrying a book box, and followed the crowd to the Taipei University of Science and Technology.  In front of Chengsi's gate.  There are two rows of twelve officials guarding the gate, with swords across their waists and swords in their hands.He holds a stick and is very majestic, so the door is empty and no one is allowed to come near until the time of entrance examination.  There was a notice posted on the wall outside the door. Many people gathered around to look at it. It was very noisy. Yu Shu held the book box and struggled to get to the front. He looked up and saw that the notice was posted.  The prohibitions in the official document were similar to the notes for candidates. Yu Shu wrote them down one by one. If he didn't understand something clearly, he would ask others with a smile.  After having been fussing for a long time, the women's school exam had to be entered through another door. Yu Shu hurriedly asked for directions, squeezed out again, and found the west gate of Taicheng Division near the end of the street.  There are much fewer people here, and they are all women of the same color. Of course, there are also a few who, like Yu Shu, are wearing Yi Ke robes and wearing soap buns.  After waiting for about two more moments, Yu Shu heard a bell ringing from the inner courtyard. There was a commotion all around and everyone rushed to the door. Yu Shu stood on tiptoe and saw a group of seven or eight officials walking out of the door.  All of them wore black gauze crowns and green and brown official uniforms. One of them was holding a water bottle in his hand. After a while, he made a gesture to the chief official and said something to him. After a while, he heard twelve people in front of the door.  The famous officials shouted in unison: "Be prepared - the candidates are admitted to the hospital!"
