Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

During this period of time, Lin Ze taught Zhang Yu a lot, and if there was not much, it was really not much.

In addition to the basic skills of pinyin recognition and quick memory method, it is the arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.The former is literate and not afraid of being cheated, while the latter is because he must learn to do business and settle accounts. After all, planning is also a "craft" in ancient times, and ordinary people don't know it.

Zhang Yu was originally smart and hardworking, and with the practice of doing business and counting money every day, his arithmetic improved faster than his literacy.

He passed all the questions Mrs. Guo asked before, but the last one was his specialty, and he could figure out the answer in minutes.

Because Mrs. Guo's question is actually a very simple multiplication arithmetic, which is really not difficult at all for Zhang Yu who has memorized the multiplication table.

Zhang Yu, who was just planning to make up the numbers, made a miraculous breakout just like that.

"No, it's impossible, how could he figure out the answer so quickly, it must be cheating!"

Even the talented men outside the screen were shocked, and the ladies and husbands present naturally couldn't believe the facts even more, and some loudly rejected it in disbelief.

"Yes, how could it be figured out so quickly, without any plans..."

"That's right, I still have to think about it. He figured it out, it's impossible..."

The one who opened the mouth was a beautiful little lady in a pink silk dress.

Then several voices followed one after another. In short, everyone didn't believe that Zhang Yu was so powerful, but the voices kept coming and going, and it was unclear who said exactly what.

Although arithmetic plays a very important role in Daji's imperial examinations, these ladies and husbands don't take the imperial examinations, so their husbands basically only teach simple arithmetic knowledge, and don't teach them much, anyway, they don't need it.

So there are only a few natal families present who are better, and the ladies who have been educated since childhood can figure it out, but because they haven't learned much, their speed is naturally far inferior to that of Zhang Yu who practices every day.

How could he be inferior to a country boy?The lady who opened the pink silk dress first was particularly unconvinced.

Coupled with being spoiled by the family, she has a bit of a young lady's temper, so she recklessly took the lead in vetoing and shouting.

"..."

Zhang Yu had never done anything without guilt, and stood calmly on the spot, completely ignoring the words around him.

In fact, he can understand everyone's doubts about him. In fact, he himself is very confused. He just thinks that since everyone is here, he should answer the questions carefully, even if he makes up the number, he should do it seriously.

In the end, who knew Mrs. Guo was so powerful, he could pass all the exams, and he was still worried that he wouldn't make a fool of himself by reciting poems...

I thought I was the king compared with myself, but after a long time, I was almost a piece of scrap iron ↖(^ω^)↗.

And this is in someone else's house, no matter how noisy the owner is, he has his own decision, unlike in the village who is louder than anyone else, and there are a group of talented men standing on the other side of the screen, who will only lose the face of the husband if they talk nonsense. The lady doesn't know the rules.

Although Zheng Xiaoluo has an irritable temper and is angry with these people's questioning voices, Zhang Yu has more ideas than him since he was a child. Naturally, if Zhang Yu doesn't move, he doesn't dare to mess around. He still knows his temper for fear of spoiling things.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Although the two little brothers Zhang Yu have never seen the market, they know the severity.

On the other hand, some young ladies who are not calm enough to yell, have a clear opinion.

On the other side of the screen, the husband-in-law of several ladies who yelled aloud was stared at by his classmates and friends around him, and his face was ugly with embarrassment.

Lin Ze took a closer look at the lady in the pink skirt, and really felt that the road to Enemies is narrow. Isn't this the daughter of Wei Hongyan, the other protagonist of the original incident of getting drunk and breaking into the boudoir.

Lin Ze glanced sideways at Wei Hongyan, and smiled intentionally, "Mr. Wei, it seems that Miss Wei is definitely your biological child..."

Wei Hongyan, "..."

I really want to kill this arrogant evil!

However, what Lin Ze said was the truth. His daughter is really ashamed now. Not only does he lose face as a husband, but he also loses face as a father. He claims to be a scholarly family, but his daughter is so uneducated. It's all gone.

The nature of his daughter losing his temper because of disobedience is completely different from his losing his temper because of hatred just now.

Inside the screen, voices of questioning came and went, but Mrs. Guo was still the mistress of the family. Even though the Guo family was not big, the mistress's thoughts and stability were not comparable to those of the young ladies present.

Has Zhang Yu cheated? It's not that she has no eyesight. The topic was given by her temporarily, and the maids around her don't know. How can she cheat in this situation?

There is only one answer, and they really have real skills.

"Miss Wei, I came up with the topic temporarily, and even the maids around me don't know about it. When you say he cheated, don't you mean that I opened the back door for him?"

Mrs. Guo didn't give face and said directly.

Just like Guo Yuanwai was dissatisfied with Wei Hongyan, Mrs. Guo was also dissatisfied with Mrs. Wei, because she was Mrs. Wei's daughter, and because Mrs. Wei thought her son was stupid and dropped out of school, she couldn't say she was resentful, but she definitely didn't like the Wei family in her heart.

"Yunying didn't mean that, but he's just a country boy, how can he be so good at arithmetic? My father and I have been able to read and write since we were young. Could it be that he also learned from childhood?"

Yunying is Lady Wei's boudoir name, and her tone is still unconvinced. She should have been showing off, but she was cut off by a country boy, so she couldn't figure it out.

It stands to reason that no matter how poor her child from a scholarly family is, she is a bit more thoughtful than ordinary people in terms of etiquette and handling of affairs, and generally would not do such behavior that would be criticized by others.

But the Wei family is not a real scholarly family, but it is Wei Hongyan who made his fortune here with insufficient background. Although he is a master, Wei Hongyan himself has a problem with his conduct. How good can parents teach their children by precepts and deeds?

And Mrs. Wei dotes on her daughter very much. After Mrs. Wei got married, her husband bowed his head because of the merchant's family background and respected her. Mrs. Wei naturally developed a savage character.

The other ladies and husbands around were a little more thoughtful. Naturally, they couldn't do this kind of embarrassing thing by themselves, so no one gave her a little advice, and they were happy to watch the show. It would be great if someone could answer their questions for them.

After Mrs. Wei said such unruly words, Wei Hongyan and his son-in-law behind the screen were so ashamed that they wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

"I'm a country boy who has never seen the market, but my husband-in-law is a scholar full of talents. I can't compare with Madam in other knowledge, but I am better at arithmetic. Since Madam doubts it, why don't we compare again."

Mrs. Wei was aggressive, and if Zhang Yu didn't speak again, he would be cowardly instead of being polite.

Today, their group of ladies and husbands are not representing themselves, but their men. He comes from an incomparable family, but he is determined to earn face for his husband in what he is good at.

"Okay, do it again and do it again!"

Mrs. Wei agreed very readily. She believed that Zhang Yu was incompetent, and she won just now because she underestimated the enemy and released the water.

Mrs. Guo frowned. Although she believed in Zhang Yu, she could only nod if so many people questioned her.

"In this case, let me ask another question: One day, a pawn pushed a bullock cart full of goods to go to the market..."

The difficulty of the next question is similar to that of the previous question. After all, Mrs. Guo’s own culture is limited, and considering that the women and husbands present do not take the imperial examination and do not focus on learning arithmetic, naturally they will not come up with too complicated ones.

After listening to a lot of rubbish topics, it is actually the simplest arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is more difficult, so the scope of the question is no longer included.

In fact, ancient arithmetic is also very powerful to a certain extent, but the difference is that it is not Arabic numerals, and the calculation is not concise and clear enough, so the speed is very slow for non-professionals.

Wei Niangzi studied since she was a child, and she still has a few brushes when it comes to reciting poems and painting with red sleeves and adding fragrance, but arithmetic is really not much higher than that of a beginner like Zhang Yu, and it is only slightly involved.

Therefore, as soon as the question came up, Zhang Yu, who was used to doing business and accounting, picked up the brush and started to make a draft of the multiplier. He silently memorized the table of ninety-nine multiplication formulas, and the answer came out immediately.

At the same time, Mrs. Wei's side is only halfway through, mainly because it takes time to write the numbers in traditional characters!

"Impossible, impossible..."

Mrs. Wei couldn't believe it, and she looked like she was so shocked that she wanted to cry. A little brother from the country was better than her. This made her see people in the future, and other ladies would laugh to death if it spread.

But the result is that there are facts in front of you, facts that cannot be refuted.

Everyone stared at Zhang Yu in amazement, but Mrs. Guo was a little excited and asked immediately,

"What's the name of this husband? Which scholar is your husband-in-law?"

In fact, she has been paying attention to Zhang Yu from the very beginning. There is no way, Zhang Yu has only learned the jerky font for more than a month, so she can't let people not notice it.

At first, she didn't care about it, she just thought it was just to make up for it, but she didn't expect that in the second test of reciting skills, although Zhang Yu's performance was not the best, she passed the test.

This surprised her very much. After all, from the words written by Zhang Yu, it can be seen that the other party should be someone who hasn't studied for a long time.

It wasn't until Zhang Yu broke through in arithmetic that she finally faced up to this dark horse. She was able to teach a novice husband to this level. One can imagine how serious and capable the other party's husband is in teaching people. He is the right husband for her son.

"My husband's name is Lin Ze, Lin Xiucai."

Speaking of their own man, Zhang Yu and Lin Ze are in the same mood, with a shy smile, but a proud tone.

"But Lin Zelin from Heba Village?"

Mrs. Guo obviously also heard about the "celebrities" in Xiucailang's circle, and she was a little surprised, but she didn't expect it to be Lin Ze.

Zhang Yu nodded and smiled, "Yes, he is my husband..."

This news surprised everyone the most, but to Wei Yunying, it was a stimulus that could directly make people blow their hair.

"Are you the husband of that shameless Lin Ze?!"

Wei Yunying's expression can be described as gnashing her teeth ferociously, angry, angry and aggrieved, the name 'Lin Ze' is enough to make her lose her composure like her father did at the beginning.

Now it's not that I'm not convinced, but that my enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. If it wasn't for Lin Ze, the god of plague, how could she have married a merchant? Now Lin Ze's husband is still coming to steal her limelight. These people are simply hers. Nemesis.

"My husband is not a shameless person!"

When her man was scolded, Zhang Yu couldn't bear it no matter how mild-tempered she was.

The rabbit bites people when it is anxious. He is such a good husband, why should he be scolded by others? This lady is shameless when she opens her mouth. What should others think?
