The township exam had to be taken for three days. You Miao was naturally lazy, but after calling Jiangbo Villa, she suddenly realized that there was really nothing else she could do except study.
Let him farm
Impossible, when he was reading with him, You Miao always liked to play around, wandering here, wandering there, but didn't want to go to school.
However, no one cares about him now, and he feels uncomfortable and always wants to find something to do.
Let's go study the imperial examinations.
When You Miao came to think of Zhao Chao, he always hoped that he could help him.
Second, it can't go on like this. Although Shen Yuan is good, and Li Zhifeng by his side is also very good, it is not a problem to stay at home all the time.
So he spent the past few months re-reading some books to prepare for the exam.
This year, the township examinations in various places were two months earlier. I don’t know why. Some people are guessing that Enke will be opened next year, and some people say that it is because the border is unstable and the court is short of manpower.
Qiao Jue went to Jiangcheng Mansion, helped You Miao make money, and said that he was already a scholar.
The other side naturally knew You Miao's identity, so he asked him to come to the township test in June. He said that the other side of Biyu Villa also greeted him to the township test officer. You Miao knew as soon as he heard it that You Hange should also go, but I've only read the book for a few months, and I don't know if the three-character classics have been recognized.
On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, You Miao and Li Zhifeng rode into Jiangcheng. The weather was very hot and a torrential rain was quietly brewing in the sky. The examination room was crowded with people, and scholars from counties and townships in Liuzhou gathered in one place to speak.
You Miao just stood alone under the eaves and looked at the dark sky.
"are you ready?"
Li Zhifeng asked.
You Miao said:
"What's so difficult about the township exam, it's not difficult for me at all."
Li Zhifeng laughed and couldn't help but stretched out his fingers and pinched Youmiao's face.
You Miao squinted at him and said angrily:
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Zhifeng shook his head, couldn't help but smile, and said:
"You've changed a lot from a year ago."
"Is there?"
You Miao said inexplicably, thinking back on himself, it does seem to have changed a bit, when did it start to gradually change
He thought for a while and said casually:
"That's because you are with me, a good teacher and a good friend."
In the examination room of the township exam, You's family's carriage was parked outside, and two book boys invited You Hango down. After You Hango came in, he asked something first. You Miao was stunned when he saw it. You Hango also came to take the test
Didn't this guy just start to read a few years ago
When I came to the villa during the Chinese New Year, I couldn't even recognize the characters on the shadow wall.
"younger brother!"
You Hange smiled and greeted him, saying:
"I knew you would come."
The township exam was the person Qiao Jue looked for for You Miao. Although Biyu Villa also helped You Miao speak up, You Miao was too lazy to talk about it, so he said:
"Are you coming to take the exam too?"
When You Miao saw him in a place like this, it was indescribably funny. You Han Ge felt embarrassed and said:
"I followed my mother in the past, and I learned a little bit one after another. Dad asked me to take the test. What happened to the test?"
You Miao also really admired the old man and this cheap big brother. He thought that you only knew the characters for six months. If you can pass the test, everyone will not have to study. Immediately, he thought wrong, the old man can't do anything else, but the money is so much. Endless flowers.
Can you win the money when you approve the papers
When You Miao thought of this, her face sank immediately, but fortunately, seeing You Hango, he didn't look like he was going to cheat.
You Hange ordered the book boy to take out a wooden box and said:
"Come on, brother gave it to you."
You Miao took the wooden box and saw You Hango's expectant gaze, but couldn't give him a look for a while. Since he left home, You Hango has always been giving him things, either money or these gadgets. , he opened it and took a look, and saw a set of Yixing purple clay pots and four cups inside.
"I didn't bring you anything..."
You Miao felt a little uncomfortable, but luckily, the bell rang in the township examination room at this time, and the students entered the hall one after another. You Hango was at the other end and said:
"younger brother!
Take the exam well! "
You Miao nodded and entered the examination room. Li Zhifeng stood outside and said:
"Take a good test."
You Miao walked over with a smile, hugged Li Zhifeng, the examiner watched and said:
"Your brother is also coming to the test today?"
You Miao poked his thumb towards Li Zhifeng who was outside and replied:
"The one waiting outside is my brother."
You Miao took out a pen and paper, the examiner took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, gave him the questions that had been sealed with lacquer, and went out to lock the door, and the rural exam officially began.
Zhang Er is from Jiangnan, and the township exam is in Yangzhou, while You Miao and You Hange from Jiangbei are in Jiangcheng. Such an exam lasts for three days. All food, drink and Lazarus are in the exam room. Passed in at the small window.
You Miao also has a bowl of steamed eggs in her daily meals, and she doesn't know where Li Zhifeng got it from.
During the period, Liuzhou Zhizhou would personally visit the examination room twice a day. Once, he stopped outside Youmiao's examination room and asked Li Zhifeng a few words. Li Zhifeng only answered briefly.
Three days later, when the examination room opened, all the scholars came out exhausted. You Miao seemed to have lost a lot of weight and said:
"Go home now...
go home. "
You Hange was about to come over to say hello, but the exam room was in a mess. You Miao waved at him:
"Don't use it!
Come back and meet again! "
Li Zhifeng smiled and said:
"How was the test
Can you lift it? "
You Miao said:
"The middle lift is a must, you should ask me if I can even win three yuan!"
Li Zhifeng said:
"What did you test for?"
You Miao said:
"The way of university is in Mingmingde."
Li Zhifeng:
"don't know."
You Miao:
"Hey, I don't think you don't understand. The Han people's statement is the first sentence in "University"."
The two chatted and went back to Jiangbo Villa, but Zhang Er came back first. You Miao brewed tea in the study and chatted with Zhang Er about the exam questions. In the end, he stopped caring about it and just waited for the list to be released. .
You Miao studied in the Imperial Academy of Beijing. At the beginning, the Master respected Neo-Confucianism and was a well-known Confucian in the whole country.
You Miao had always disliked Zhu Xi's style, and he couldn't help but gag every time he was in class, but now that he thinks about it, although he doesn't agree with what the Master said, it is still very practical when it comes to the test paper.
The way of the university, in Mingmingde, You Miao's understanding is that in order to achieve erudition, one should demonstrate morality, which is the Zhuzi interpretation of "knowing before doing".
Zhang Er's understanding is that self-cultivation and morality are called "learning".
You Miao joked:
"What you said is actually correct. If we can both be successful, the two of us will be the only ones in the family."
Zhang Er smiled helplessly:
"It's certain that the young master can win. I think I'd better stop being delusional and help collect the food."
These few days were the harvest season, and the rice was heavy on the branches. The second day after You Miao came back, all the tenants in the entire villa were dispatched, wearing straw hats and wearing a poisonous sun to harvest the rice.
The ears of rice were piled up like a hill, and You Miao insisted on following them. First, this was the first harvest on his land, and secondly, there were renters to be handed over to him.
