Latest website: Time flies, there is no news of a war in the northeastern frontier, but news of the war in the northwest comes from time to time. Zhulan is worried about her three nephews.
Everyone in the Zhou family was very nervous. Even though the sons of the Zhou family had great confidence in their father, they still cared about it in the end. The grandchildren stopped playing around, and the yard of the Zhou family was very quiet every day.
Zhulan was inevitably nervous, even if she believed that Zhou Shuren would pass, the closer she got, the more she was afraid of accidents. Before the township examination, the academic councils of each province organized an examination in advance, and only those with excellent grades were allowed to take the township examination.
Zhou Shuren passed it smoothly, and the grades, Keke second place, first place is Wu Ming.
There is a special examination room for the township examination. The examination rooms of each state and city are in the southeast direction. The examination room is the Gongyuan. There are three examinations for the township examination, each of which is three days in advance.
Candidates spent three days in the grid room of the examination room. Zhulan listened to Zhou Shuren's popular science. The grid room for the exam was very small. The two boards were put together as a bed.
The ancients were quite wise, and both boards were flexible and changeable.
Zhulan and Mrs. Li spent a lot of time on food, just to make Zhou Shuren eat better.
Having said that, it is fortunate that the temperature in the northeast is not too cold or too hot in August, and the exam can be more comfortable, unlike the south, which is a bit pitted, and the area around Guangdong is still very hot in August!
Originally, it was hard enough to be in a test room with the same grid. Staying in the sultry weather for three days has especially affected the mood of the test.
The day before the exam, the Zhou family didn't eat, and Zhu Lan was very excited. All the rooms were afraid that it would affect Zhou Shuren's responsibility!
On the contrary, Zhou Shuren was the least nervous. He should eat and drink, and slept well at night.
After eating the next morning, Zhou Shuren was going to the examination room to be admitted to the Gongyuan in advance. Zhulan checked twice to make sure that nothing was left, and then sent Zhou Shuren to the Gongyuan in person.
Outside the Gongyuan, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the Gongyuan, and there were many carriages at the entrance.
After Zhou Shuren lined up, Zhulan and Boss Zhou didn't leave either, waiting for Zhou Shuren to enter before leaving.
The inspection of the Tribute Court is very strict, not only checking the things you bring, but also the people. There are two sheds at the entrance of the Tribute Courtyard, specially for checking the clothes of the candidates. When you go in, you have to take off your clothes for inspection. It does not mean to be humiliated, it is just to prevent someone from cheating. use.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhou Shuren successfully entered the inspection. The inspection was really strict. The examinee's hair was checked. Zhou Shuren, a examinee who can't comb his hair, has messy hair, and the bamboo orchid is embarrassed.
Boss Zhou was also quite speechless. He really did not expect that his father would not comb his hair. A stupid person like him would comb his hair. Seeing that his father entered the tribute courtyard, Boss Zhou was relieved, "Mother, let's go home!"
Zhulan glanced at Gongyuan again and said, "Well, let's go back."
It will be three days after coming here again. There will be three township exams, three days each. The body and bones are not good, and I really can't bear it. Fortunately, Zhou Shuren's body and bones have been exercised well.
When Zhou Lao Er saw his mother and eldest brother coming back, knowing that his father had successfully entered the examination room, he put his heart back into his stomach.
On the way back, Zhulan bumped into Mrs Wu Li who was walking back, and motioned to Mr. Zhou to stop the car, "Aunt, uncle, let's go back in the car together!"
Wu Li waved his hand, "My uncle and I are very flustered. We can walk back slowly and feel at ease. You can go back first!"
Zhulan said: "Then I'll go first."
"Let's go!"
There were a lot of horses and carriages on the way back, and the speed was incomparable to the speed when I came here. When I got home, the person waiting for the letter at home knew that they had successfully entered the examination room, and my heart was put down.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren dealt with their son and daughter-in-law fiercely. This time, no one dared to ask in Zhulan's ear.
Three days passed quickly, the first exam was over, this time Zhulan and her two sons went to the door early to guard.
As soon as the gate opened, the entrance of Gongyuan was crowded with people, all of whom lived in Pingzhou City or relatives who came to accompany the exam.
Zhou Shuren is best to recognize, the hair is messy, and some people get dizzy when they go out. This is because the body is weak. Zhou Shuren walked out with great strides, and his spirit is quite good.
Zhulan was relieved and curled her lips, "Get in the car, I'll comb your hair."
Zhou Shuren coughed, "En."
He also tried combing his own hair, and now it looks the best he has ever combed.
Zhou Lao Er hurriedly took the box from Dad's hand, "Dad, I'll help you get into the car."
Zhou Shuren, "Yes."
Don't think that he didn't see Zhou Lao Er's mouth twitching. In the past, Zhu Lan helped comb his hair. The children in the family really didn't know that he couldn't comb his hair.
When I got back to the carriage, I couldn't leave for a while. The carriage behind was blocked. There was only one carriage coming from Zhulan's house, and some big families had several!
Zhu Lan brushed Zhou Shuren's hair and asked, "How's your rest these days?"
Zhou Shuren, "Except the place is smaller, it's okay to rest."
Thanks to the two long trips, at least the conditions of Gongyuan don't have to worry about safety, and it is good for him to rest at night.
Zhulan knew that Zhou Shuren didn't lie to her, and she could tell from her mental head that she combed Zhou Shuren's hair, "The hot water at home has been boiled, so go back and take a good bath."
Zhou Shuren nodded and said, "I hope the weather for the remaining two games is as good as it is now."
Zhulan also hopes that it is not hot these few days, and there is still a small wind blowing from time to time, and more importantly, it is cloudless. The most feared thing in the exam is the rain. It cannot be interrupted when it rains, although there is a place to shelter from the rain. , but not to mention that the moisture affects the mood, it will not be good to rest at night, and the most important thing is to be afraid of catching a cold and getting sick.
The carriage waited for a while before the road ahead cleared. It was already an hour after returning home. Zhou Shuren went to take a bath first.
Li made a large table of dishes, and Zhulan specially asked the boss to buy a sheep and kill it, just to make up for Zhou Shuren's body.
Zhou Shuren took a bath and ate and went back to lie down to rest.
The Zhou family was still cautiously afraid to make a move.
Zhulan was washing the clothes that Zhou Shuren had changed, and after washing the clothes, she prepared the clothes for Zhou Shuren for the next exam.
As soon as the Zhou family arrived, the children served Zhou Shuren until the end of the last exam.
After the last exam Some people fell ill, some were crying, and there were various situations.
No matter how good Zhou Shuren was, he felt relieved after the exam. After Zhulan combed Zhou Shuren's hair, Zhou Shuren went to sleep.
Zhou Shuren slept for a long time this night. After sleeping for almost a day, Zhu Lan asked Boss Zhou to give Zhou Shuren a bath and change clothes.
Zhou Shuren slept well and rested, and all that was left was to wait for the results.
Even after the exam is over, the Zhou family is still quiet, Zhou Shuren is very calm, and is still in the mood to go out to meet Zhao Bo.
Zhulan's attention has always been on Zhou Shuren. When Wu Xie came, Zhulan knew that Wu Ming insisted on finishing the exam due to illness. Stay at home to take care of Wu Ming.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back and said to Zhou Shuren, "Wu Ming is sick for the exam, will you pass him?"
