Since it was approaching the New Year's Eve, Qin Muwen's stomach was so big that it was difficult to bend over, so Li Jin took the initiative to help him wash his feet.
Although Xiaocha was a maid, the Li Jin family never let him serve him personally except to ask him to help with housework.
Li Jin originally did not like being served by others to dress and undress.
Of course, it would be another fun to be undressed by the little husband.
Although Qin Muwen was born in a high-class family, he was taught by his father to do things within his power since he was a child, so he did not have the habit of being served by outsiders to dress and wash his feet.
In particular, the person who helped him wash his feet was actually his husband, so it wasn't a matter of getting used to it or not.
At first, when Li Jin squatted down to soak his feet, Qin Muwen quickly lifted both feet from the water basin, his eyes were wet, and he was completely panicked.
Li Jin pressed his foot back and asked, "What?"
"A Jin... dirty..."
Li Jin listened to his words and looked at the white and delicate feet in the water basin and the shiny nails under the water, and couldn't feel any dirt at all.
But Qin Muwen was still struggling slightly. Li Jin held him down again and said, "It's not dirty, be good. The foot bath and massage will help smooth the meridians. If you press it for you earlier, it can reduce the swelling of the legs."
Qin Muwen was a little impressed by this. When he was pregnant with Baozi, before giving birth, his legs would be swollen every morning when he woke up.
But he didn't know anything at the time, and he didn't even know it was a normal reaction, but he was very flustered.
Now that Li Jin said this, Qin Muwen suddenly realized that he was just worrying about the world at that time.
In the middle of the speech, Li Jin began to press down the meridians of his feet, the little husband's skin was pale, and when he pressed it hard, it turned red, giving people a... abusive beauty, and obviously he was even more pitiful.
However, Li Jin's massage was indeed effective. Afterwards, the edema on Qin Muwen's legs was indeed milder than when he was pregnant with a bun, and it disappeared after getting up and walking for a while.
At the same time, Qin Muwen took a bath in and out of the tub, and consciously asked Li Jin to help.
After all, the tub was high, so he had to be very careful when stepping in, otherwise he might slip and slip.
Li Jin was very happy with his initiative to 'manage'. Originally, he was not worried about the little husband taking a bath alone with his stomach erect.
The little husband can take the initiative to call him, which is a big improvement.
When he was about to get out of the tub after taking a shower, Li Jin didn't wait for him to speak. He took off his shirt and bent over to stand on the edge of the tub. Qin Muwen wrapped his arms around him, while Li Jin found his knees underwater, and soon picked him up.
Then it's dry and stuffed into bed.
Now it is the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the cold wind is blowing outside the house, the snowflakes are falling rustling, the ground dragon is burning inside the house, and the thin clothes will not be cold at all.
Qin Muwen looked at the handsome husband, the small dimples on the corners of his lips were pursed, and he fell asleep with happiness after watching it for a while.
Years later, Li Jin had to go to the academy, and the person beside Qin Muwen was Xiao Baozi.
He watched his father's belly getting bigger day by day, and every few days he would ask, "Father, when will he come out?"
"I don't know the exact time, but it will probably be in March this year."
So Xiao Baozi counted with his little finger and frowned, "Will it be another three months or two months?"
Qin Muwen didn't expect that Xiao Baozi's thinking had already come to this point. He hesitated a little and said, "Two months."
The little bun felt completely confused and couldn't figure it out.
Qin Muwen looked at his little face and explained it carefully, but the little bun still didn't seem to understand it. He can distinguish between 'before' and 'after', but he is inadvertently sensitive to the words 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow', and he often talks about it.
But this is not in a hurry. After explaining it a few times later, he will understand.
In the academy, although Wan Yun was gone, Li Jin was still on duty in the Department of Mathematics.
He is now reading the scriptures that he has not been involved in in his previous life, plus the obscure words in it, Li Jin's reading speed is very slow.
Pan Youfeng would never play his little cleverness again in front of Li Jin, but he was able to say a few more words to him.
"Xiuzhi, what you're looking at is... a shipbuilding project?"
Li Jin nodded and said, "Yes."
Pan Youfeng said, "But the imperial examinations don't take these exams."
Li Jin: "It's just out of interest, just take a look."
"Ah, aren't you preparing for Zhou Yi, who is likely to take the provincial examination?"
Li Jin: "I've read it all."
Pan Youfeng looked at Zhou Yi, who had just borrowed from the Department of Classics, with an indescribable expression on his face.
He is clearly much older than Li Jin, and he is also much earlier than Li Jinzhong's talent, but Li Jin is already ready to take the township exam, and he... forgets what he saw before!
Pan Youfeng had already given up on the township exam completely, after all, he felt that he had little hope of winning.
Now that he is in his thirties, he can no longer devote himself to endorsement and research like Wan Yun and Li Jin. He heard that Li Jin would silently read and write scriptures after returning home at night, and he would revise it with Wan Jiaoyu the next day.
He couldn't do this at all. After all, he had to deal with quarrels between wives and concubines and supervise the endorsement of children's endorsements after he went back. How could he have time to learn by himself.
But recently it is rumored that His Majesty is about to have his 60th birthday, and it is likely to open Enke...
This is equivalent to increasing the chances of admission in disguise!
After all, the township examination is held every three years, and nearly half of the candidates who take the township examination are scholars who have just passed the college examination in the last two years.
Last year's autumn season was like this. There were very few 'Little Sanyuan' like Li Jin who were unwilling to apply for the township examination.
If Enke was added this year, many people who participated in the Zhengke last year would not choose to apply for the exam this year.
After all, in a short period of one year, excluding the time to wait for the announcement, to rest during the New Year, and to adjust their mentality, these people basically do not have much time to consolidate their knowledge base.
Although there are some people who did not take the exam last year and just happened to bump into Enke, such as Li Jin and Pan Youfeng, but they are still very few.
This means that there are fewer people participating in the Enke Township Examination than before, and the number of admissions is fixed at 135, which is equivalent to increasing the odds in disguise!
Therefore, Pan Youfeng will pick up the content to be tested in the township examination again and plan to review it again.
He looked at Li Jin's 'inexperience' recently, and endured it all afternoon, but still couldn't hold back, and walked over to try to sell Li Jin a favor.
"Xiuzhi, His Majesty's 60th birthday this year, it is very likely to open Enke."
Li Jin raised his eyebrows, it seems that the news of Kai Enke has been widely circulated in the circle of scholars.
And Wan Yun told Li Jin as early as last August, before the Zhengke Qiu Wei started, that it might be possible to open Enke this year.
Li Jin said: "Thank you Youfeng, I know about this."
Then, continue to read the book at hand.
Li Jin thought, if he can go to high school this autumn, then he will definitely take part in the general examination next year while the iron is hot.
If you want to be in the top three in high school, you have to have a good ability in a certain area on the basis of well-written policy theory.
Recalling the first few years of the current dynasty, the second place in the list, the third flower, the outstanding feature is that they are very famous. The reason for their fame is that they are young and high school (under 20), handsome in appearance, excellent in temperament, well-written, and very good at reciting poems. , The name of the unforgettable child prodigy...
Although Li Jin's handwriting is also good, and he is also guided by a famous teacher, he has not yet completed the requirements of Pang Lao, and he cannot claim to be a disciple of Pang Lao.
However, Li Jin didn't intend to borrow Lao Pang to become famous. In that case, when others think of him, the first thing they say is 'You said Li Jin, Pang Lao's closed disciple'.
Li Jin prefers that others' first impression of him is that he has outstanding knowledge, even if he knows that he has compiled two scriptures.
After all, Lao Pang was really famous in this dynasty. With the title of 'Pang Lao Disciple' deducted, it might take Li Jin half a lifetime for people to recognize himself.
Although Li Jin doesn't care much about floating fame, it's just that this way of borrowing other people's fame to become famous will make him feel uncomfortable.
Either, not famous; or, by virtue of their own strength to be famous.
Since his previous fame was all about arithmetic, it just so happened that Li Jin was also very interested in it, and he was happy to continue on this path.
When it came to the palace exam, Li Jin would rather that His Majesty would remember him because of his math.
Therefore, Li Jincai is now studying various applied engineering derived from arithmetic.
So, Pan Youfeng watched Li Jin continue to read the shipbuilding engineering book in his hand.
He whispered: "Don't believe me, this news is very likely to be true, you go outside to find out, everyone says so."
Li Jin put down the book and expressed helplessness to Pan Youfeng's stubbornness: "Youfeng, I know the news."
Pan Youfeng suddenly felt the joy of being recognized, and he said, "Then why haven't you reviewed the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Li Jin: "It's been over."
Pan Youfeng: "..."
Humans are truly incomparable.
At the same time, on Mr. Pang's side, Chen Yiding finished his work and came to him to eat and drink.
By the way, I would like to pay attention to the current situation of Pang's younger apprentice.
Old Pang couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, but he said on his mouth, "The progress of the practice is far behind. The six boxes of ink-absorbing stones have not been finished yet."
Chen Yiding knew his routine and asked, "How much have you practiced?"
Old Pang suddenly pointed at the clear, freezing water, and said, "I only got to the sixth box."
After a pause, he added himself, "It looks like I'll be full soon."
Chen Yiding: "..."
Seeing Old Pang waiting for praise, he could only praise, "The apprentices you taught are really diligent."
Pang Lao: "Not only diligence, but the writing is already warm."
Chen Yiding was shocked. Mr. Pang himself specialized in calligraphy. To be praised so much by him, Li Jin must have made great progress in calligraphy now.
Chen Yiding settled down and remembered the purpose of his visit this time. He said, "Master, the above are preparing to open Enke. Do you want to announce the acceptance of disciples at this juncture?"
Old Pang's face suddenly became serious, and Chen Yiding watched the tea with his nose and cared, giving Old Pang time to think.
The imperial examinations were divided into county examinations, prefectural examinations, hospital examinations, township examinations, general examinations and palace examinations.
In the first three exams, there are two exams in three years. After passing the exams, you will become a scholar and also a tribute student.
Although the latter three are tested every three years, for the same candidates, the three tests are connected. For example, in August this year, you can participate in the general examination in February of the following year, and in April of the same year, you can take the palace examination.
Wan Yun could have been in high school all the way back then, but his parents died, so he could only go home to observe filial piety for twenty-seven months.
And put it in Li Jin's place... Old Pang said uncertainly: "If Enke is opened this year, Li Jin's kid might be able to pass the exam all the way?"
If this is the case, in order to have a chance to compete in the palace exam, you have to increase your fame.
