Smallholder Farmer

Chapter 111 Entering a County Town and Playing Ghosts!

ps: Hehe,

Neither brother nor sister said a word!

Qian He didn't get an answer, and he couldn't get angry. The two brothers and sisters, Yuyue, cooked bowls of noodles and noodles for breakfast. The stepmother is in charge of the house, and the living standard has plummeted! Yuyue thought to herself while eating noodles, and felt a little gloating in a very unkind way!

After eating, the two carried their luggage to the gate of the courtyard. Uncle had already pulled the ox cart to the gate and waited, and Aunt Bin was standing beside her with the dry food she made:

"On the way, just drink water and eat some steamed buns! Don't open this porcelain pot, the steamed buns will be hot at noon,"

Aunt Bin explained the dry food she had prepared, which made Qian He very unhappy. Ordinarily, Zhenniang had to prepare it, but it was Qian Bin's family who prepared it!

"Please trouble Uncle and Aunt, we will come back after the exam!" Jin Yan took it after thanking him.

"Be careful on the road!" After explaining to the two siblings, Qian Bin greeted Qian He: "Brother Qian He, are you going to the fields now?"

"Yeah, this sincere statement is not obedient. I insist on taking the exam for this scholar. Please lend them a bullock cart. I only have one cow in this house, and I need to use it in this field..."

"Brother Qianhe, it's getting late, I'm leaving, and I'm going to the ground too!"

Qian Bin didn't pick up the words, afraid that he couldn't help it for a while, and would scold the titular elder brother, the cow in your house, the rhubarb was given to Jinyan by his grandfather, the couple turned around and left!

There are not many people who have such an attitude towards Qian He, not to mention that Qian Bin has been very respectful to Qian He since he was a child, Qian He has mixed feelings in his heart. I had no choice but to hang my head and go to pull water to irrigate the ground. I felt bad all day long.

It is said that the two brothers and sisters drove an ox cart to the county town, and when they got on the official road, there were more cars and horses. Yuyue's feeling of being stared at by others came again. To go to the county town, he had to go through the town , Yuyue specially chose a slightly detoured path. This feeling is still there. When I look closely, a carriage follows her ox cart unhurriedly. Yuyue feels that there is something wrong. Have you ever seen a carriage that is faster than an ox cart in this world?

drop by. Yuyue bought Douxin rice and Douxin noodles, and the food price was indeed much higher than the previous few days. After dawdling for a while, she couldn't take two steps when she came out, and the carriage was far behind her own cart ~

Yuyue is sure. The eighth grandma and the eldest aunt must be sitting in this car, and they are walking in a hurry all the way. Then he went into the county town and paid Sanwen's entry fee as usual, Yuyue and his brother whispered a few words, and the two began to look at the inns, one by one, which made the people behind them very depressed! Soon, the two brothers and sisters were pulling the ox cart. Then he walked to an inn, where Yuyue came to rent a house. It is the most accessible, and swaggered into the side door (a door for mules, horses and vehicles to enter and exit). However, through this side yard, there is another door, leading to the east gate. Yuyue didn't stop, and went out directly , Excuse me and leave! After turning around two or three times, I couldn't see the carriage behind, and went straight into the East City, and soon entered "Yaoxiangju".

Here, Grandma Eight took her eldest daughter with her. Knowing that the two brothers and sisters of Yuyue had entered the county this morning, she thought it was a plan. In particular, she even spent 50 renminbi to rent a carriage and followed closely behind. The two little children found out that the two little brats actually found an inn. Seeing the two of them entered this wishful inn, the two couldn't help being a little entangled! He stood at the gate and waited.

After waiting for about half an hour, I didn't wait until Jinyan came out, so I thought it was staying. Could it be that the girl Sheicao moved somewhere and didn't tell anyone? Zicao got out of the car and went to ask Jinyan which room she lived in. After this question, the two of them were so angry that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart! I'm so pissed off, when I catch these two unlucky ones, I must take off their skins! Unexpectedly, he didn't stay in the hotel, Xiao Er sincerely reminded:

"You didn't see it coming out, but there are six or seven of us at the back door and side door! We really didn't know that there were two children coming to stay," the two knew that they couldn't think about it, so they had to go back to the village.

The next day, Li Da Tongsheng also entered the county seat, the eldest son of the eighth year, the money sponsored by the exam, ten taels! The payment of this sum of money made Zhenniang wary of her mother-in-law, who is not known to be a cousin or a cousin, but is actually (not in name) mother-in-law. No matter who said it, there is no uncle who is a scholar. The reason why you have to pay the money is that your son has a lot, and you still have a lot of sons, why don't you see which ones come out?

(Wen, Zhi, Wu, and Gong's four major male partners all cried out for grievances in unison, and we have also left. If the family does not pay any money, they will not take care of us if it is beneficial in the future. This is what my mother said. It is very beneficial for a family to have a scholar. For example, the tax can be exempted. However, these five families, including the eighth grandmother, are not counted. They belong to the Li family! What's so cheap? It's not your Fan family's turn either.)

This scholar exam is divided into three nine-day exams: post scriptures, essays, and policy theory! One session lasted three days, with examinations on memorization, rhetoric, and political opinions and current affairs. A total of 50 people were recorded, divided into two grades, A and B, and the top ten were named A. Yuyue only thought about it, and it would be a success if she won, and only fifty people were taken!

The weather is hot, and there is no room for any dry food. Yuyue asked her brother to concentrate on reviewing, and she prepared the test basket by herself. First of all, this nutrition is comprehensive, and you can't eat spoiled things to get sick. Since Jinyan has taken the exam twice, he is familiar with the rules of this exam room. Question, my brother can do it too, but he doesn’t have much time to write. You can’t just go to Gongyuan to have a wild drink! So this thing can't be too complicated. Yuyue thought of instant noodles, and Jin Yan was also a noodle lover, so she naturally nodded to express her willingness to eat eight days of noodles.

At this time, Yuyue sincerely thanked God for not entrusting her to be a baby boy. She would have to eat pasta for eight days, so why not give me a straw rope, tofu is also fine, and she could be killed by hitting her head! Originally, this exam was too outrageous. You said that the exam took nine days, but I'm sorry, the college entrance exam is only three days, and I can still go home every day!

Yuyue began to experiment. All kinds of dehydrated vegetables are very easy to make, and they can be prepared in one step in the space, without any loss of nutrition! All kinds of jerky were also brought in to become real dehydrated jerky, and then there was soup. Yuyue boiled it with big bones and brought it into the space for dehydration. It was really powerful and turned into powder. Yuyue boiled the soup powder and jerky in water, and then turned it into a pot of broth, then added dehydrated vegetables and dried noodles, and it was a success, and the instant noodles with green noodles and white noodles were ready!

Next, Yuyue developed (copied) instant noodles with various flavors and made them with the wheat noodles in the space. The taste is absolutely amazing! There is one game in three days, and it can't be noodles every day, so I prepare to bring some rice and cook it into meat porridge. It tastes really good,

When it came time to enter the examination room, Aunt Huucao made a basket of meat buns and steamed buns early in the morning, and Jin Yan took three of them in.

At a quarter of an hour, the gate of the Tribute Academy opened, and thousands of candidates accepted the preliminary examination one by one and entered the hall one by one. The students of the Tribute Academy really seemed to be rushing to the market, carrying bedding rolls, bookcases, and large bags of food! Yuyue also saw a student bring a fish, butchered it, how many days can this be kept? Are you out of your mind? Seeing such a competitor, Yu Yue has a little more confidence in Jin Yanzhong's talent. This kind of people have come to take the exam, so what's wrong?

Watching the students enter the four examination rooms under the leadership of the four lamp-holding boys, Yuyue knew that after these people were searched by the sergeant again in this Yimen, it was not easy to be a scholar. They used to go through the back door and engage in entrainment, so now the soldiers guarding the Gongyuan look at these scholars very strictly. Next to the search, just like the Kuomintang's investigation of the underground party, Yuyue saw from a distance that many students' belongings were thrown into big baskets and were not allowed to be brought in. Among them, there were three steamed buns that were broken into two halves. , it seems that this style of fraud is really rampant!

Sincerely, the steamed buns were thrown away, and only then did I realize that this kind of cooked food was not allowed to be brought in. The noodles, raw rice, and clear water that my sister prepared for me passed the inspection, and I finally entered the examination room. In this exam, except for the test quotations, candidates are not allowed to bring in anything that can write. Pens, ink, special paper, etc. are provided by the exam room. The quilt is also inspected by a special person, and it will be miserable if it finds something entrained. The weather is hot, and Yuyue didn't prepare a thick quilt this time. It is still the sleeping bag from last time, plus a thick cloth towel quilt that Yuyue wove herself. , so that neither the cold nor the heat are afraid, and each candidate is separated, each occupying a place.

The scholar examination requires a mastery of the three classics, and those who have a good knowledge of the five classics are the best, and the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" are compulsory; "Book of Songs", "Zhou Li" and "Yi Li" can choose one or two classics; "Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "Gongyang Zhuan" and "Zhuliang Zhuan" can choose one classic of Xiaojing, and write silently according to the specified paragraphs , this aspect can test memory and calligraphy.

Don’t be afraid of this Jinyan, these scriptures are familiar by heart. In fact, Jinyan himself finds it strange that these scriptures have been copied three times by himself and his master. After copying the first time and knowing the new characters, they can recite them in order the second time. , The third time you can recite this scripture backwards, this is what Yuyue told herself one day, the highest level of familiarity is to recite it backwards! I tried it myself, and sure enough, the scriptures can also be memorized backwards...

The three-day exam is not very stressful. You can rest three times a day. Someone will bring a small stove and clean water, and someone who needs to go to the toilet will be specially guided and monitored. Shenshi went back to sleep in the rest room, and the examination papers could be handed in in the afternoon of the second day, at the latest at Shenshi of the third day, just pull the small bell next to him, and two people would come to write their names and put the examination papers into the special box , and took away everything, led by the little boy to leave.

After Jinyan went in, Yuyue had been looking around with concern for a long time, and naturally found Aunt Zicao at the gate of the Gongyuan! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
