Chapter 36
As noon approached, the light became hotter and hotter. Xiaoxizhuang hospitablely prepared tea, sour plum soup, as well as a small amount of beef and pastries. It was close to Zhoucheng, so it was convenient to buy some things.

While preparing tableware for Cheng Jinzhou, Shi Mo said nervously: "Third brother, tonight is the school exam day every three days."

"School exam?" Cheng Jinzhou slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot that my father will take the exam to teach homework."

"Yes." Shi Mo was afraid that Cheng Jinzhou would forget, and the two schoolboys would be the first to suffer.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't read any books, and he was thinking about cheating, but he didn't think he could really pass the exam. Thinking of this, he lost the mood to eat and drink in an instant, stuffed something casually, got on the horse in a hurry, and only yelled: "Shi Yan, you stay Let’s deal with food matters.”

A ride to the dust.

Cheng Jinzhou's equestrian skills suddenly became better.

Shi Yan looked at the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves, and sincerely hoped: "Third brother must pass..."

His wish is completely reflexive. As a book boy, if the master reads well, he will be rewarded;

……

When seeing his father, Cheng Jinzhou also had hopes, but not for the school exam.

Cheng Yun'an sat in the middle of the study with a straight face, holding a volume in his hand, shaking his head to read, and kept writing with his fingers on his left hand, like a standard scholar.

After Cheng Jinzhou washed up briefly, he still smelled of travel and dust, coughed a little uncomfortable, and said, "Father, I'm here."

Calling him Dad will make Cheng Jinzhou more used to it, but Cheng's father doesn't care about it.

Most of the time, he is quite a talkative person, even though he is unsmiling, he does not refuse to listen, only in rare cases, he will become stubborn and authoritarian - when it comes to etiquette, he is in such a state .

Like the most devout priest in the church, Father Cheng also has a great admiration for ethics, which is reflected in his strict view of education.

In the past, Cheng Jinzhou was sick every day and had no chance to receive his father's education. Now that he had the opportunity, Cheng's father almost became passionate. He put down the book gently, but said with a serious expression on his face: "These two days , you didn't go to private school?"

"Something is always delayed." Cheng Jinzhou felt that he had really become a teenager.

Cheng's father snorted and said, "It takes a long time to learn astrology. I have seen countless geniuses. They were outstanding when they were young, but they grew up when they grew up. There is no problem if you choose this path, but if you don't study, which one is better?" The roads are impassable. In addition, the words in the books must not be lost."

Cheng Jinzhou was most afraid of being fined for a month, or directly slapped, but he was extremely immune to pure preaching, so he nodded and didn't respond much.

After a short pause, Cheng Yun'an sat down again and said, "Okay, let me tell you what books you have read in the past two days?"

Cheng Jinzhou was only 13 years old, and he was often on the sick bed, taking exams for school homework, so he would not ask for those awkward questions.

There was a small wind blowing outside the window, and Cheng Jinzhou's heart was cold, and he said bravely: "It's still the content of the Three Character Classic, and add a little more."

The so-called book of scriptures refers to the content of etiquette such as the Four Books and Five Classics.The exams in the Great Xia Dynasty have already transitioned from poetry and books to classics, and the study of scholars is naturally inclined.

Father Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Then let me ask you, what is the last sentence of 'Hua Ying takes the straight'?"

This is not something on the "authentic" Four Books—of course, Cheng Jinzhou in his previous life had never read the Four Books. At this moment, Dr. Cheng could only widen his eyes, bowed his head and said, "I haven't seen it yet."

"Then let's start memorizing the Three-Character Sutra from 'Benevolence of the King'." Cheng's father was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. Among 13-year-old children, the outstanding ones may be able to read four books, while the average level can only be read.

What is being taught in the private school is the Three Character Classic.Those with low levels of knowledge, or those who are not prepared to take the imperial examination, will read it for a long time, just like a basic course.

To Cheng Jinzhou, endorsement is like letting a crocodile eat leaves, neither can nor will.But on the other hand, he didn't want to admit his laziness, because without his father's consent, he couldn't take the college exam, and thus couldn't have an independent space.

A 13-year-old scholar will be regarded as an adult, and a 16-year-old child is still not qualified to stand on his own.

Independence and freedom are definitely the beginning of a happy life.If Cheng Jinzhou is a newcomer, he can still be satisfied with the life of the rich family, but now he is not satisfied no matter what, just like the wild boars in the mountains come to the farm, and they start to feel that they can fall asleep and eat feed every day, but gradually, they always want to eat. annoying.

People always set higher goals based on the present.

After thinking about it, Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his head and said, "Dad, in fact, the main reason why I study poetry and calligraphy now is to achieve good results in the imperial examination..."

"Then you have to memorize it thoroughly." Cheng's father was an official after all, and he saw Cheng Jinzhou's tricks.

Dr. Cheng Xiao smiled like an anorexic rabbit, and said: "I want to spend more time on astrology. As for the imperial examination, I just want to get the fame of a scholar."

"When I'm about to step down, I'll still be able to shadow you as a scholar." Cheng's father has a pretty good temper.

According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, officials take the exam every three years, and if they are stable, they will be promoted to a higher level in three exams. With the power of the Cheng family, it is not difficult for Cheng's father to be a high-ranking civil servant before he retires.

The only purpose of the astro-manager to obtain a scholar is for the future, and there may be some elements of showing off in it, which are not what Yin Lai's fame can provide, not to mention, when Cheng Yun'an becomes a high-ranking civil servant, when will he get it.

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "I want to test myself for fame."

Cheng's father was more enthusiastic about fame than Liu Bin, and he naturally wanted his son to take the exam by himself, but in fact, he still shook his head out of his trust in learning, not in fame itself, and said: "Every Individuals can take many college examinations, but you have to understand that every time you take the provincial examination, you have to take the children's examination, not to mention wasting time, and after a few times, you will lose your energy. Therefore, you must be prepared before you take the exam. You now……"

He clicked his tongue twice, but still said: "It's too far away."

From this, we can also see the difference between Cheng Yunan and Liu Bin. The latter actually suggested from the perspective of risk that Cheng Jinzhou should obtain a fame, but Cheng Yunan is different. Perhaps in his opinion, he is young and powerful, and he does not need his son to think about these things at all. ——Like most people, he would not think about such things as his accidental death and going to the throne without his crown.

When luck is good, Cheng Yunan's thoughts are right, when luck is ordinary, he is also right, only when luck is bad, he is wrong, so most of the time, people without risk awareness are right, only When they are unlucky, they lament that misfortunes never come singly...

Naturally, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't discuss risk control with his father. He had already prepared for it and said, "Then I can take the hospital examination if I memorize the Three Character Classic?"

This is the main purpose of Dr. Cheng Da Baba running back.Since the Great Xia Dynasty paid attention to family status, it also paid more attention to the innocence of birth. Without the signature of the father, he would not even think about taking any exams, let alone in Shaonan City, the magistrate is the boss.

Therefore, even if you are prepared to cheat, you must have the opportunity to take the exam.

Cheng Yun'an shook his head slightly and said, "The Three Character Classic is not enough."

"Then add another scripture?" Cheng Jinzhou didn't know how much things could be put in the ring after the data was entered. Two volumes should be quite safe.

"If you can solve "Zhulue", you can go to the children's examination." Cheng's father waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here today, don't be so ambitious, from memorizing "Zhulue" to being able to solve it, it will take three or four years at least. In the next year, when the time comes, read the others briefly, and then you can take the college exam and get a scholar."

The Tongsheng Examination is a small examination organized by the county level. It is easy to cheat, but it is only equivalent to a qualification examination - taking the entrance examination to obtain the qualification of a scholar. Comrades, there is no need to cheat on the children's exam, because the exam will be repeated the next year.

Cheng Jinzhou was born as a master cheater, and when he had a goal, he immediately made up his mind: I won't stop if I don't fill up the "little note".
