Houfu Key Class

When Xu Wan arrived, she had already prepared the New Year's money. She took out five small red bags and handed them out one by one: "Happy New Year, congratulations on turning one year older."

"Thank you, mother!" "Thank you, aunt!" "Thank you, aunt!"

The teenagers were each more excited than the other, and they even discussed going out to eat and drink for a few days after the scientific examination was over.

Xu Wan took five more red envelopes from Zong Zhao and gave them to the five personal trainers: "Happy New Year, good luck with the work. Wages are still three times higher these days."

"Thank you, madam!" The five personal trainers laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyebrows.

There are still two months left before Spring Festival, and time is tight. The masters did not wait for Xu Wan to ask for three times the salary, and devoted themselves to review. Jiang Yan did not come, but the four masters strongly needed him and dragged him. We sat down together.

Xu Wan cleared her throat and said, "After the Chinese New Year, students from all over the country rushing to take exams will come into the city one after another. The public security in the capital will be a bit chaotic, so I suggest that everyone not go out alone during this period to avoid accidents outside."

Masters know this: "Yes, ma'am."

Zong Jincheng didn't quite understand: "Why do they have to come to the capital so early? Isn't there still two months left?"

Others also asked: "Yes, why?"

Zong Wenxiu pursed his lips, as if he had thought of the reason, but he looked at Xu Wan and still didn't take the initiative to say anything.

Xu Wan said with a smile: "Chunwei is different from all previous examinations. You have to come to the capital to take the scientific examination. There are many candidates from poor families who have to come from far and far south. How do you think they come? ?”

Shen Yibai quickly said: "First of all, they must not be able to afford the carriage."

Wei Xinglu added: “I can’t even afford a horse.”

Zong Jincheng asked: "What about the donkey?"

Everyone: "..."

"Donkeys seem to be quite expensive," He Zheng said weakly, "Then why did they come to the capital? It couldn't be... on foot?"

Xu Wan nodded: "Yes, on foot."

For thousands of years, students from poor families have participated in the imperial examinations in this way.

"Then where do they live? Can they afford an inn?"

"Eighty percent can't afford it."

Zong Zhao told them: "Students rushing to take exams who cannot afford to live in an inn usually choose to stay in private houses, abandoned temples, or even sleep on the streets. In the past, the Spring Festival was held in February, but the imperial court took this into consideration and moved it to March. It will be much warmer this season.”

Xu Wan continued: "Students are afraid of accidents on the road, so all major cities leave early. Some wait for the results to be released in autumn before packing up and heading to Beijing. If the journey goes smoothly, it will be okay to arrive in the capital one or two months in advance. Communicate in some libraries to discover your own shortcomings and improve them.”

Zong Jincheng grasped this important point, and his eyes lit up: "Students from all over the country come to Beijing Library to exchange?"

"yes."

Shen Yibai rubbed his hands excitedly: "I really want to abuse vegetables."

Wei Xinglu: "It must be really fun."

Xu Wan: "!"

So that’s what you had in mind!

She gave a friendly reminder: "There are a total of thirteen provinces across the country, which means there will be twelve Jieyuanlangs coming to Beijing. By then, if a brick is photographed, it will cost one Asian dollar."

Zong Jincheng was excited when he heard this: "Wow! Exciting! Will any of these twelve Jie Yuanlang be more powerful than Qin Ye!"

Wei Xinglu replied: "There must be! I heard that students from Jiangnan are very good at studying. In previous years, there were particularly many people from Jiangnan who won the exam."

"I'm looking forward to it. Mom, when can you take us out to play? One afternoon, just one afternoon. We also want to see what the level of students from various places is." Zong Jincheng said, "Otherwise we can only I saw them in the Gongyuan. They were in a dark room and couldn't see anything."

Xu Wan thought for a while and said: "Next month, when everyone is almost here, I will take you to meet them. But we have agreed first, they are very strong, you must review carefully during this period , don’t lose too badly.”

Zong Jincheng snorted and said: "This Yayuanlang is not afraid. I want them to see how terrifying I am as a strategic genius. This Huiyuanlang must be me!"

Shen Yibai used to make trouble every day: "But aunt said, there are so many Asian dollars. Let me count thirteen provinces... One hundred and seventeen, there are one hundred and sixteen who are better than you!"

Zong Jincheng pinched his neck angrily and said: "I'm just the worst in the Jingcheng Yayuan. You say I'm the worst in the entire Yayuan. Are you very strong? You can't even enter the top forty in the Jingcheng." "Idiot!"

Shen Yibai was so pinched that he turned pale and pinched him back: "My poetry is holding me back. If I only focus on policy theory, let alone the top forty, I can kill Qin Ye!"

When the little devil heard that he had killed Qin Ye, he immediately became happy. He let go of Shen Yibai and encouraged, "You are so ambitious, come learn together and defeat Qin Ye!"

"Down with Qin Ye! You must go to the top of the class!" the teenagers yelled in the class motto with great momentum.

Xu Wan scratched her head and whispered to Zong Zhao sheepishly: "That's how they are. Get used to it."

Zong Zhao nodded: "You can get used to it."

"That's good," Xu Wan said, "Then let's go to the second floor. I just remembered a policy topic and wanted to write it out for them as homework."

"I'll also help you think about it a few more times."

"good."

The power of 1+1\u003e2 is here again.

The couple wrote down seven or eight policy topics on the second floor. Even if a few impractical and repetitive ones were overturned, there were still four left, which was enough for them to practice for half a month.

The two went downstairs and handed the essay to Jiang Yan, asking him to arrange the next study.

After leaving the big study and on the way back to the small courtyard, Zong Zhao asked: "Since Dad knew about Zong Qiyun's affairs, he has completely cut off contact with the clan. Relatives don't need to go, and they don't need to go to gatherings. Do you have any other arrangements?"

During the first month of the year, those with many relatives have to go for ten days. For families like his with few relatives, they almost never go.

Xu Wan couldn't help but remind: "But it seems that I have to go back to my mother's house tomorrow?"

"Do you want to go back?" Zong Zhao asked.

He knew that she had a bad relationship with them.

Xu Wan asked back with a smile: "How can I not go? We haven't severed our father-daughter relationship yet."

At the beginning, they only broke up with the Duke of Jin's Mansion, but not with Minister Xu. If they didn't go back during the New Year, both families would be laughed at.

Zong Zhao didn't care whether others laughed at him or not, but Xu Shangshu did. He knew Zong Zhao's attitude towards his family and was afraid that he was angry with his family because of Xu Wan, so he had sent two groups of people to invite them today, just in case they didn't come.

The last time, he specifically said: "Xu Lian'er and his wife from the Duke of Jin's Mansion will return to their parents' home on the third day of the first lunar month. If the eldest lady doesn't want to run into them, she can choose another day to come back."

Xu Wan spread her hands and said: "Look, my father has arranged everything well."

Zong Zhao stopped walking, looked at her and said: "If you don't want to go, don't go. Don't be afraid of him. Even if you don't have Xu Shangshu as your father, I can protect you."
