happy rebirth

Ke Qi felt that his teenager had some puberty emotions recently.

Luckily I don't have menopause.Otherwise it would be a catastrophe.Ke Qi thought so.

Although Ke Qi has doubts about Xie Jinhua's life experience in mind, he does not want to affect the atmosphere in the mansion, thereby affecting Xie Jinhua's mood for the exam.So after returning from Yeqiu Village, his life was still the same as before, without any change, and he did not leak his word in front of Xie Chunying.

But the impact is still there.

Ke Qi couldn't help but observe everyone in Qingyanghou's mansion.He observed carefully, just saw a little more, listened a little more, and most of all, thought a little more than usual.And as long as he observes carefully, he may be able to discover something from those things that he has long turned a blind eye to.

The time for the township examination in August is getting closer and closer. After returning from Yeqiu Village, Xie Jinhua once again lived a life with the scholar.As the god of learning in Ke Qi's eyes, Xie Jinhua doesn't need to cram his homework. What he needs to read is the materials of the examiners and their published literary works in the past. This is to avoid taboos when answering subjective questions.Of course, it would be even better if it could scratch the itch of the examiners.

Since the Qingyang Hou Mansion has connections, it is not difficult to collect these materials.

With Xie Chunying's acquiescence, the couple sent a set of materials to Ke's residence, and another set to Ye Zhengping and An Xueyou.

In addition to being an examinee, Xie Jinhua is also the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.

"Qiulin Wenbao" is published once a month.Xie Jinhua and Ye Zhengping are the main reviewers, but because they both need to prepare for the provincial exam, they don't have as much time as before.Under the leadership of Gongsun Shanzhang, Xie Jinhua reached the first cooperation with the Ministry of Rites.The newspapers in July and August will publish a large number of excellent articles from previous rural examinations, and the newspapers in September will publish excellent articles from Jieyuan in each province this year.

This decision was announced in the newspaper in June, and it was regarded as an advertisement for the newspaper itself.

Therefore, for students who take the provincial examination this year, it is a must to buy the newspapers in July and August, because the important review materials are printed on them!And if they are lucky enough to get to know Yuan, their names and talents will be advertised in the September newspaper!

Because of this incident, any ambitious student couldn't help daydreaming for a while.

And "Qiulin Wenbao" became more and more authoritative in the minds of readers.

There are three exams in Anchao's township exam, and each exam lasts three days.Candidates need to enter the venue one day in advance.

The first exam was held on the tenth day of the eighth month. Candidates entered on the ninth day of the eighth day and left on the afternoon of the twelfth day.Since the 21th of August is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second exam was postponed to the 23th. Candidates entered on the [-]th and left on the [-]th.The third exam will be held on the [-]st, and candidates will leave on the [-]rd.

The imperial court attached great importance to this rural examination, and the examination room was so surrounded that even a fly could not fly in, and nothing went wrong during the examination.

On the twelfth, when Xie Jinhua walked out of the examination room after the first test, he was still very energetic.When he got home, he still had the energy to silently speak out the content of his exam.In the first exam, you need to do four questions and four books, two five-character eight-rhyme poems, and four scriptures.The so-called scriptures and meanings are the stereotyped essays that later generations often refer to.Among them, Xie Jinhua's strength is poetry.All in all, the exam went well.

Ke Qi tasted the two poems again and again.As an excellent poet, if Xie Jinhua's poems are rich in rhetoric, then he will praise them as brilliant pens, making people read heartily.If Xie Jinhua's poems are relatively simple, they are plain and unpretentious, with true feelings in every word and every sentence.

In short, there is nothing wrong with it.

Ke Qi felt that his behavior could not be called bragging.To be honest, can it be considered blowing?

Xie Jinhua stayed at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival happens to be the first birthday of mooncakes.Under Hou Ye's signal, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner was merged with the little guy's Zhou Catch Banquet.

Xie Er is quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Since it is a reunion dinner, it is naturally a small-scale reunion of immediate family members. There is no need to entertain other people, so the moon cake feast is a bit low-key.At the same time, because it was a reunion dinner, there was a reason why the Zhou banquet was not a big deal, and no one dared to say that the Hou family despised moon cakes.

Before the child catches the week, the relatives have to add one or two more mascots to the prepared items for the week.

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua were one, and together they placed a set of exquisite small models of the Four Treasures of the Study on the red silk, carved out of jade.This addition not only shows their good wishes for the moon cakes, but also because they use high-quality jade and don't feel shabby, it can be said that they have both face and face.

Lord Hou added a seal, Mrs. Zhang added a jade pendant, Xie Chunying added Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism scriptures, and Xie Chunjie added a set of models of swords, guns, swords and halberds.

The moon cakes lie on the red silk and are silly.

Moon Cake was taught very well by the Zhuang family. Although she was still a little kid, she was not stage fright at all.The one-year-old child can't speak much yet, but the moon cakes will smile when he sees people, which is very pleasing to look at.Ke Qi was originally indifferent to this young creature that was said to be extremely destructive, but he liked mooncakes very much.

Ke Qi stared at the moon cake intently.

Moon Cake seemed to have noticed Ke Qi's gaze, looked up in Ke Qi's direction, and then showed him a big smile.

Ke Qi poked Xie Jinhua, and said triumphantly: "Hey, Mooncake must like me very much!"

Xie Jinhua also likes moon cakes very much.He has already realized that he will not have a biological child, so looking at the only junior in Xie's mansion can be said to be extremely loving.He stared at the moon cake intently for a while, blinked and said: "The moon cake likes me more."

Ke Qi retorted in a low voice: "Obviously he likes me more, look at the moon cake is still smiling at me!"

Xie Jinhua clapped his hands lightly, attracted Mooncake's attention with his voice, and said, "Now Mooncake is smiling at me!"

The couple looked at each other, both felt that the other was so shameless, and decided that the cold war should not last more than three seconds.

Mooncake's biological parents sitting next to them were very speechless.Moon cake obviously likes his parents the most!

The little doll doesn't understand the meaning of scratching Zhou. When adults tease him, he just laughs until his saliva drools.I saw that he took this and threw it away, and took that and threw it away.Fortunately, the adults were patient. At the end, they saw that Moon Cake was about to stuff a book that Xie Da put on the red silk into his mouth, so everyone acquiesced that he had grabbed a book.Xie San was very disappointed, the knife and sword he had prepared were useless.

Xie Chunying looked at her eldest nephew expressionlessly, but her heart was... turbulent.Sure enough, he is the one who attracts the most children in the house!

Whenever it was such a lively time, Mr. Xie San would inevitably be lectured by Mrs. Zhang.Sure enough, after eating the birthday noodles, Mrs. Zhang called Xie San back to her Shuanggui Courtyard to talk.Mrs. Zhang is nothing more than hoping that her son can start a family as soon as possible. Seeing that starting a career is impossible, let's hurry up and start a family!Mrs. Zhang muttered, "In two days, I will hold a banquet in the mansion in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums. You are not allowed to sneak out."

Xie San scratched his ears and said, "What kind of banquet are you having! Fourth brother wants to study, so it's better to be quiet at home."

Xie San immediately realized that he had said something wrong.Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows, stared at her eyes, and said, "What? He wants to study, and my son has to make way for him? If I don't stop him from earning his way, I've done him a favor. It's important for him to take the provincial exam. Is it not important for my son to marry a wife?"

"Mother, I didn't mean that!" Xie San hurriedly said.

Mrs. Zhang continued nagging for a long time, then sighed and said, "I know you don't like to listen to me talking, but you should think about it carefully. You four brothers, your elder brother...that's what Lord Hou values, and sooner or later the entire Hou Mansion will It's all his. The second child has been with your elder brother for the past two years. He has been in charge of the family's business and outside relationships, and no one can underestimate him. The fourth child can read, and sooner or later he will be named on the gold list. What about you? ? Tell mother, what do you have?"

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang hopes that Xie San will marry a wife and have children as soon as possible. If her grandson can inherit the Hou Mansion, she will not worry about anything.

Xie San wanted to say, he is also very powerful, didn't he always follow the big brother's wishes and make friends with some peers who can make friends?But in the end, he is indeed a dude.Xie San himself really thinks this kind of life is pretty good, but obviously his mother is not satisfied with it.

Seeing that her son stopped talking, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would speak too seriously.She thought for a while, and said with great difficulty: "You... If I hand over your marriage to your elder brother, can you marry a wife and have children with peace of mind, ask me to see my daughter-in-law next spring, and ask me to embrace my grandson at the end of the year ?”

In fact, Mrs. Zhang doesn't know how to judge people.

In addition to Xie San, Zhang has three daughters.She was in charge of the eldest daughter's first marriage. She tried her best to marry her daughter well, and she thought that good was a good family background.As a result, she carefully selected a marriage that was good outside and inside, and a good girl would soon be exhausted after marrying.In the end, with the acquiescence of Lord Xie, Xie Chunying made the decision to reconcile, and quickly chose a new marriage for her sister.

When she remarried her daughter later, Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to intervene.

Originally thought that when marrying a daughter-in-law, she would be able to marry the one she wanted, but seeing Xie San's uncooperative appearance, Mrs. Zhang just wanted to sigh.

On the [-]th, Xie Jinhua had to go to the examination room to take the second round of the provincial examination.In Ke Qi's view, the second round of the exam is to ask candidates to write argumentative essays, each question should not be less than [-] words, and the topics should be drawn from various scriptures.When Ke Qi sent Xie Jinhua to the examination room, Xie San squeezed into their carriage again.

"Hey, the weather is really nice today, the sun is shining brightly, neither cold nor hot..." Xie San said.

"Talk about people," Ke Qi said.

"This is an important time, and I also want to send my fourth brother off to do my part." Xie San said.

"Tell the truth." Ke Qi said.

"I asked Feng Haoliang several times, but he didn't come out, maybe he was avoiding me on purpose. But I don't know why he avoided me. I think he will send his little fat cousin to the examination room today, I Go and block him outside the examination room!" Xie San stated his purpose in one breath.

But when he saw Feng Liang, Xie San didn't dare ask the teacher for his crimes anymore, and he became a coward with capital letters.Under the probing eyes of father and mother, Xie San stammered and said: "Feng, Feng Liang, do you want to come to my house to play? My nephew is just having fun, and he likes me."
