Chapter 181： Why don't we take the exam?

Chapter 181, why don't we take the exam?

After the announcement of the Enke examination period, the scientific examination is estimated to be coming soon.

The focus of Zhu Pingan's study is also on the scientific examination. The scientific examination is based on the curriculum of the county school and the prefecture school. , Ritual, music, books, etc. are no longer read, and the scientific examination does not test the book of ritual and music. The question types of the scientific examination are generally scriptures, books, meanings, tables, strategies, etc. Oh, and sometimes members are required to recite them. Zhu Ping'an practiced on the above content and question types.

In addition, Zhu Pingan's study intensity has also been strengthened a lot than before. He wakes up about half an hour earlier in the morning and goes to bed half an hour later than before at night.

Although the scientific examination is generally conducted by the academic officials to each county and prefecture, sometimes the academic officials will also adopt the method of "hanging examinations" and "class examinations". .In Dabi, prefectural and prefectural examinations are jointly administered.” Suspended examination refers to the transfer of students from Beppu to this prefecture for the examination. The so-called class test means that the promotion officer currently entrusts the county government officials to assess the students, and then sends them to the provincial capital for the assessment by the promotion officer. The suspense test will make the students trek unspeakably miserable, and the class test is easy to breed corruption because it is assessed by county officials. The ideal method of scientific examination is to be presided over by the academic officer on schedule.

In addition to studying and reviewing, Zhu Pingan also followed the "Yi Tian Tu Hui Ji" he taught to the black-bellied girl last time, and wrote thousands of words. Although it took up a lot of time, it was right to practice calligraphy.

His mother, Mrs. Chen, also prepared delicious food for Zhu Pingan in various ways, including stewing, boiling, steaming, frying, frying, marinating, and cooking. Zhu Pingan was full of every meal, lest Nutrition can't keep up.

"Hey, why don't we skip the exam?"

One day, Mrs. Chen looked at Zhu Ping'an at the dinner table, and suddenly opened her mouth.

Not only Zhu Pingan, who was eating happily, was stunned, but even Zhu's father, elder brother and Zhu Pingchuan were stunned.

My mother, Mrs. Chen, was bragging about her son going to the Juren a few days ago, and she was much more motivated than Zhu Ping'an. The Chen family loves to show off, no matter whether Zhu Ping'an can pass the exam, just go to the Juren exam, this simple exam is enough for the Chen family to show off.

That's why everyone was surprised by what Mrs. Chen said suddenly.

"What's the matter, mother?" Zhu Pingan swallowed the chicken in his mouth, looked at his mother Chen in surprise and asked, puzzled.

Mother Chen looked at Zhu Ping'an very distressed, "Mother sees that you are too tired from studying. These days, mother has changed ways to cook delicious food for you, but not only did she not make you fat, but she also watched you thin It's been a circle. Let's not take the exam."

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was moved by his mother Chen's strong maternal love and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Why is the boy so fat?" Father Zhu took a bite of the meatloaf and said casually.

Then

Father Zhu's words provoked a hornet's nest.

"Zhu Shouyi, it's not the meat that fell from your body. Of course you don't feel sorry for it!" Mother Chen put the chopsticks on the table at once, stared at Father Zhu vigorously, and then saw the meatloaf in Father Zhu's hand, and then He snatched it from Father Zhu's mouth, "This meatloaf is made for Xi'er and Dachuan, not for you!"

Then, mother Chen put the meatloaf with a missing corner in front of Zhu Pingan.

Cough, cough, looking at the meatloaf that Father Zhu took a bite out of, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mom, I'm growing up. The flesh is growing on my body. Look, my son has grown a lot in the past few days." Zhu Pingan stood up from the table and gestured with his hands on the top of his head. Twice, it means that you have grown taller.

"How can it grow so fast." Mother Chen was in a much better mood after being interrupted by Zhu Pingan, and said angrily.

"Brother, I have really grown taller." The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan also spoke at the right time, speaking the truth, feeling that the second brother has really grown taller these two days.

"Really?" Mother Chen's eyes lit up. His eldest son is as virtuous as his father, and he won't tell lies.

"real."

Zhu Pingan and his elder brother Zhu Pingan said in unison.

Afterwards, mother Chen's mood improved a lot, and she stopped talking about telling Zhu Pingan not to take the exam.

Zhu Ping'an put the meatloaf missing a corner back in Father Zhu's bowl at the right time.

Father Zhu looked at the meatloaf, at Chen Shi, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Look at it, eat your cake, who will eat what you have bitten." Mother Chen rolled her eyes at Father Zhu and cursed.

After hearing Chen's scolding, Father Zhu grinned foolishly and started eating.

"Look at your promise!" Mother Chen couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became harmonious all of a sudden, and the family ate breakfast beautifully. Over the years, the living standard of Zhu’s family has improved dramatically. Zhu’s father spent a lot of money driving the ox cart, and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan also gained a lot in the mountains. Mother Chen's needlework can often supplement the family income. Last year, Zhu's father bought ten acres of paddy fields and ten acres of dry fields in Xiahe Village. In addition to the original fields, the Zhu family is now considered a wealthy family in the village.

Especially after Zhu Ping'an was admitted as a scholar, the Zhu family's status in Xiahe Village has also improved a lot. Now that his mother, Mrs. Chen, is out of the house, others rush to say hello, which makes her mother, Mrs. Chen, happy every day.

Big brother Zhu Pingchuan’s marriage is also secure, just waiting for the late moon to win sister Juan’er to come in. For this sister-in-law, Zhu Ping’an has been studying books all the year round, but she has never covered her face, but it’s pretty good to hear people say. Especially the eldest brother, who is satisfied with this sister-in-law can't be more satisfied, and often approaches others in different ways. In the past, the elder brother's father-in-law still often hindered her, but since Zhu Ping'an became a child student, especially a scholar, the eldest brother's father-in-law Not only did he turn a blind eye, but occasionally he would take the initiative to go out for a walk or two.

In short, everything in the Zhu family is thriving.

Compared to Zhu Ping'an's family, the old Zhu's house is a bit sour. Although grandfather Zhu and grandmother are also complimented by others when they go out, they can always feel that there is some teasing in the compliments from the villagers.

Mr. Zhu often sighed in the yard. It would have been great if the second child's family hadn't been separated.

"I heard from the second child's family that Xi'er is going to take the Juren exam again." The grandfather sat on the chair and said something to the grandmother who was picking vegetables.

"The horoscope hasn't even been written yet, and what the second family said seems to have passed the exam." The grandmother who picked vegetables curled her lips.

"What do you know, it's amazing to be able to take the Juren examination." Grandpa took a puff of cigarette.

"You smoke less, how long have you been coughing last night?"

Grandmother was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, but when she looked up and saw grandfather lighting another pot of cigarettes, she couldn't help but put down the dishes in her hand and said dissuadingly.

"Just two sips." The grandfather flattened his mouth.

The Zhu family’s old house was quiet again, only the humming of chickens, ducks and pigs.

Today I will try my best to write a few more chapters, and the preliminary estimate is about four chapters. I hope that everyone who has a monthly pass can vote for a few more, thank you.
