happy rebirth

Ke Qi scooped up a bowl of soup for himself.

Today, rice and millet are used to cook Ermi Tang.Xie Jinhua likes to drink half-dry and half-thin, which is equivalent to drinking porridge.Ke Qi only likes to drink clear soup.He drank it as thirst-quenching water.After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be cold every day, and drinking some hot soup is really good for health.

"I think it's time to use restaurants to create momentum for Wenbao." Ke Qi thought for a while and said.

At this time, unlike later generations, there were no computers and televisions, and the dissemination of information was relatively slow, which brought difficulties to the promotion of newspapers.Fortunately, Yixian Building has been open for a year and a half. Thanks to the continuous one-stop competition and "Yixian Anthology", it has now become the favorite gathering place for Chinese people in Beijing.Therefore, Xie Jinhua can definitely send people to build momentum in the restaurant first, and then launch a newspaper a few months later, which will definitely be very popular.

Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi have been together for a long time, and Ke Qi doesn't need to explain, he already understands.

"By the way, Brother Xie is going to participate in the county examination in February next year, right?" Ke Qi said again.

Xie Jinhua froze for a moment, frowned slightly, and asked, "Didn't you not be filial at that time?"

"But you are already a filial piety." Ke Qi said with a smile.Although they are husband and wife, Master Ke is not Xie Jinhua's biological father, so Xie Jinhua has already passed away.Next year will be a very smooth year for the imperial examination. If Xie Jinhua misses the opportunity next year, then he will spend a few more years in the imperial examination.

Xie Jinhua blinked and said, "I always thought that Brother Ke wanted to take the scientific examination with me."

Ke Qi froze for a moment.

With Xie Jinhua's current knowledge, there is absolutely no problem for him to take the children's examination for talent.Most of the children's exams are content that needs to be memorized by rote. As long as you have solid knowledge, you will have no luck.Because of the relationship with the Qingyang Hou Mansion, he didn't dare to play tricks on Xie Jinhua during the exam.

In fact, in terms of knowledge, Xie Jinhua would have been able to take the scholar examination two years earlier.However, before he was 12 years old, Xie Chunying deliberately suppressed him and did not intend to let him take the exam, lest he be too famous when he was young and eventually become tired of his fame.After he was 12 years old, he lingered on the sick bed, and no matter how he was treated, it was useless. Until he married Ke Qi at the age of 14, he naturally didn't have the energy to take the exam.By this year, Xie Jinhua was fifteen years old, his body was recovering, and he had no other burdens. He was finally able to take part in the children's examination, but Xie Jinhua did not go.

Ke Qi didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that Xie Jinhua wanted to catch up with next year's imperial examinations, but he didn't expect that Xie Jinhua was waiting for him.

As the person being waited for, a warm current surged in Ke Qi's heart immediately, as if the hot soup he drank went down his stomach and warmed his heart again.However, knowing the reason why Xie Jinhua didn't plan to take the children's test, Ke Qi certainly didn't want to delay him any longer.Even if Xie Jinhua strode away first, wouldn't Ke Qi be able to catch up with him in the future?Of course not!Ke Qi has great confidence in himself, and that confidence stems from his daily efforts.

The imperial examinations in An Dynasty consisted of four examinations: children's examination, rural examination, general examination and palace examination.Among them, those who have passed the children's examination are scholars, and only scholars are eligible to participate in the rural examination.The township examination is also called Qiu Wei, in August.Those who have passed the provincial examination are called Juren and are eligible to participate in the general examination.The test is also called Chunwei, in February.Those who have passed the general examination are tributes and are eligible to participate in the palace examination.The Palace Examination is the highest section of the imperial examination, in April.The results of the palace examination determine the starting point of the candidate's career.

The township examination, general examination, and palace examination are all held every three years.Occasionally, the Holy Majesty will add Enke, and will hold one more general examination and palace examination.

Children's tests are different.The Children's Examination itself is divided into County Examination, Government Examination, and Academy Examination. You must pass all three exams to become a scholar.Among them, the county examination and the government examination are held once a year.The county test is in February, and the government test is in April.The college examination is every two years, and the examination period is in June of that year.

Why is it said that next year is the year of imperial examinations?

Because, next year, there will be county exams in February, government exams in April, hospital exams in June, and township exams in August.Then turn to the new year, there will be a general examination in February of the next year, and a palace examination in April of the next year.This means that if a candidate is particularly good, he only needs one year to become a Jinshi.

Among the brothers of the Ke family, among the four sons born to the Song family, there are already two outstanding talents in one fell swoop.After the filial piety in June next year, the two scholars can participate in the rural examination in August.If they are lucky enough to pass the exam, then the three candidates will be able to participate in the next year's exam together.They've had a smooth ride, too.

Only Ke Qi was really delayed.

Ke Qi's filial piety in June means that he will not be able to catch up with next year's county examination and can only participate in the next year's.Even if he does well in the exam, but the college exam is held every two years, and there is no college exam in the year after, so he has to wait until the year after his graduation to take the exam.After that, he had to wait another two years before he was eligible to take the provincial examination.That is to say, without wasting any chance, and if the emperor does not set up Enke, he will have to wait five years before he can become a Jinshi.

If you make a mistake in a certain exam, or the style of answering questions is not to the examiner's liking, then this time will be extended indefinitely.

Fortunately, Ke Qi has long been determined to pursue an official career, and it is more suitable to take a steady and steady route, so he can afford to wait.

"Although I want to take the same exam with brother Xie, so that we can show that we work together, but opportunities wait for no one, brother Xie doesn't have to wait for me." Ke Qi said seriously, "brother Xie has no intention of official career, there is The reputation of a young talent is even more icing on the cake. But I am different. Since I am interested in officialdom, it is better for me not to attract attention when I am weak. Even though the 17-year-old Jinshi has a great reputation, maybe I will because of I was delayed for a few years because I was young. Therefore, even if I don't have filial piety in me, I still need to endure it for a few more years."

The pursuit of the two is different. As long as everyone is making progress, there is no need to deliberately keep in step.

Xie Jinhua knew that Ke Qi was right, but he still wanted to take the same exam as Ke Qi.People are not machines, and it is impossible to completely get rid of emotions and desires and only focus on maximizing benefits.Xie Jinhua couldn't help but indulge his selfishness, he just wanted to be with Ke Qi.

If they are equally good, if they progress together, if they stand side by side, then the world will get used to seeing them as one.

This kind of cognition made Xie Jinhua full of longing.

Ke Qi thought for a while and said, "Brother Xie, even if you go two steps ahead, I will try my best to catch up."

In the future journey of life, it is obvious that Xie Jinhua waits for Ke Qi to save energy, but Ke Qi is more willing to let himself exhaust his energy to chase.Because, he couldn't bear to let Xie Jinhua stop.They won't always be in tandem.There is no need for Xie Jinhua to wait for him, he will try to stand by his side.Ke Qi didn't want to let himself be Xie Jinhua's resistance, instead he took Xie Jinhua's progress as an encouragement to himself.

Xie Jinhua could see his determination in Ke Qi's eyes.

"I..." Xie Jinhua only felt that there was a raging fire in Ke Qi's eyes, burning all the way from Ke Qi's eyes to Xie Jinhua's heart.

Ke Qi coaxed Xie Jinhua out of experience.In fact, it can't be said to be "coaxing", "coaxing" means telling lies to deceive people, but Ke Qi never deceives Xie Jinhua maliciously.He quickly thought of another reason, and pretended to be obedient and said, "Brother Xie, if I take the same subject as you, then if you get three grades in the county test, government test, and college test all the way, I will be considered a very good tester. It must be only second place, so we might as well separate."

If there is a small three yuan, there will naturally be a big three yuan.

You can get the first place in the township examination, general examination, and palace examination, which is the so-called big three yuan.

If we only talk about talent, Ke Qi really believes that Xie Jinhua has the talent of six yuan and the first, but in many scientific examinations, luck is very important, and the preferences of the examiners are also important.Therefore, Ke Qi felt that Xie Jinhua would definitely have no problem with the junior and middle-level ternaries, but it would be hard to say whether he would be the champion or champion afterward.

Therefore, Ke Qi didn't talk about Da Sanyuan at this time.

"We take the exams separately. If you work hard to get a small triple in the first subject, I can also do a small triple in the latter subject. How about it?" Ke Qi said.

When saying this, Ke Qi was sweating for himself in his heart.There are always geniuses in this world.Ke Qi feels that he is not a talented player.There are many talented people in An Chao. He is not a god of learning like Xie Jinhua. If he really wants to win the little three yuan, he will need the perseverance of hanging the beam and stabbing the thigh.

Xie Jinhua said thoughtfully, "It's so good."

Ke Qi only talked about the small three yuan, but Xie Jinhua directly focused on the big three yuan.He and Ke Qi are about the same age. If they happened to be the champions of the two subjects, when the world talked about them, they would definitely compare them together. Wouldn't this better show that they are one?

But Xie Jinhua knew that he could only think about such arrogant words in his heart.Before this goal is achieved, he can't say it easily, otherwise the couple will definitely be beaten by scholars all over the world!And the best way to achieve a goal, of course, is to work tirelessly for it.

Well, I will work hard, and I will urge Ke Qi to work hard.Xie Jinhua thought so.

Ke Qi didn't know it at this time, he lifted a big stone and pressed it on his feet.So, the homework has... increased again.

In the time of chatting, the soup has been finished.Ke Qi wanted to get up to clean up the dishes, but Xie Jinhua stopped him.

"I'll do it." Xie Jinhua said with a smile.

Xie Jinhua stood with his back to the door.Looking back against the light, Ke Qi seemed to have an illusion for a moment, as if he saw infinite vitality in Xie Jinhua.And the smile on Xie Jinhua's face was rendered extremely soft by the light. A 15-year-old boy with clear eyebrows and clear eyes.

Ke Qi immediately had an uncontrollable thought in his mind.

If they lived in later generations, fifteen or sixteen-year-olds would have entered high school, then Xie Jinhua must be a very popular figure on campus, right?If Ke Qi happened to be at his real 15 years old, then he would definitely want to...

Well, I want to vote for Xie Jinhua to be the chairman of the student union.

It's not enough to vote by myself, I have to exhaust my prehistoric power to help him canvass.Ke Qi thought very seriously.
