What a cheating husband

Provincial capital Gongyuan

Liang Zijun stepped out of the examination room with a sloppy face, he was no longer the suave and handsome look of the past.As soon as the door opened, all the candidates covered their mouths and noses and escaped from the number room like prisoners.

Liang Zijun removed the cloth strips stuffed in his nostrils, and took a deep breath of the cool evening air, "Damn~ I will never come again!"

"I didn't expect brother Liang to be in such a mess," a 17- or 8-year-old boy Shang Xian stood neatly one step ahead of Liang Zijun and said with a joke.

"Hehe~ I'm used to being served at home, so it's inevitable that I'm not used to doing things everywhere." Liang Zijun wiped off the charcoal dust on his hands with a little embarrassment.

The corner of the young man's mouth tightened, he said his farewell in a neither humble nor overbearing way, and left in a hurry.

"Cut~" Liang Zijun snorted coldly, lifted his hem and stepped out of the gate of the tribute courtyard in a chic manner.

"Ouch~" An examinee with a large bag behind him bumped into Liang Zijun who was walking slowly.

Liang Zijun staggered and turned around and laughed out loud. The examinee probably couldn't bear to lose his luggage, so he packed it all up and brought it back after the exam. Liang Zijun didn't dare to use such dirty things even if they were washed, so he couldn't help but walk away and ask him to go first.

All provinces have Gongyuan as the examination room for the township examination, and the number room is also called "examination shed", which is used as the examination room and dormitory for candidates to answer papers, eat and stay in the Gongyuan.

Candidates each have a single room, less than 4 square meters in size, with only two upper and lower boards.The upper board is used as a table, and the lower board is used as a chair. When sleeping at night, put the two boards together as a bed.In Room No. [-], a pot of charcoal fire was prepared for candidates to keep warm or cook.During the exam period, candidates are isolated from the outside world, and all food, drink, and distractions are handled in the numbered room, so they have to bring their own daily necessities, such as meals, candles, and bedding.

Stuffed in there for three days is enough to be aggrieved, and I have to endure the smell of excrement and urine from myself and others.No one pours the bucket for you in this examination room, so after three days, everyone has a stench that can be smelled from 3 meters away.

Liang Zijun had always been clean, so he was on the verge of collapse after enduring three sessions and nine days of torture. Although he could go back to the inn every three days to rest for one night, he was terrified at the thought of having to enter the examination room that was comparable to a pigsty.No, the pigsty at home is better than that environment, not only clean but also not so smelly.

Thinking of the daughter-in-law who was struggling to raise pigs, Liang Zijun couldn't help but feel homesick.After returning to the inn, he took a shower three times before wiping his face, touching his unshaven chin and smiling.

After shaving off the stubble and washing up, Mr. Pianpian looked at the mirror and said, "Well, this is how I look like a human being!"

Putting on new clothes embroidered by his wife, he picked up the stinky clothes with two fingers and handed them to the waiter for cleaning. If Ah Qing hadn't embroidered the clothes by himself, Liang Zijun would have thrown away the clothes.

Such exquisite clothes really stand out among the students. Every time Liang Zijun changes his attire, it will arouse admiration. Some are envious, and some are jealous. Shallow talent and learning.

Every time the exam is over, all the candidates have to inquire about the news overnight. They secretly rejoice if they do well in the exam, and feel anxious and sleepless if they fail in the exam. However, he knocked on the door one by one with great energy, and called a group of dying classmates out to drink.

"Please forgive me~"

"Don't go, don't go, I'm almost sleepy... Haha~"

"Brother Liang, can we make it another day? You just let Xiaosheng go after the exam~"

"Touch~" Liang Zijun couldn't help looking at the door and yelling after being shut down again, so he simply went out to have fun by himself, letting the bunch of useless people moan and sigh in the room.

Before the exam, Liang Zijun became famous for his gorgeous clothes. Apart from the unique and conspicuous gorgeous embroidery patterns, he also had two sets of low-key and elegant robes for his face.At this time, Liang Zijun was wearing a fine white Confucian gown, with a misty-colored auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt around his waist, under the same color trousers, and auspicious-patterned brocade boots.

Except for the tortoise pattern embroidered on the hem of the front placket, the collar of the collar is hemmed with silver thread, and the little traces of splendor float when you raise your hands and stamp your feet, which really attracts the attention of passers-by.

Liang Zijun played with the jade pendant on his waist, padded the silver bag in his hand, walked into a grand restaurant without hesitation, ordered a table of good wine and dishes, and poured himself a drink.

Before leaving, the big deal had not been settled, so the money was embezzled from the cloth shop account. Liang Zijun is not a self-torturing master, so after such a big exam, he must have a good meal to make up for it.

Behind the diagonally opposite screen, one person happened to have a panoramic view of this scene, and couldn't help but feel a little interest, smoothing the folds of the hem and doing it generously.

"Wouldn't it be boring for you to drink by yourself like this, brother? How about you and I chatting about the wine?" The man sat down gracefully, called the waiter without consent, threw a silver coin and ordered the wine to be served on the altar.

Liang Zijun was worrying about being alone, so someone rushed to make fun of him.The man opposite is gentle and elegant, Liang Zijun is humorous and humorous, the two became confidantes without a cup of tea, and they exchanged cups and chatted very happily.

Talking about all kinds of indecentness in the examination room, Liang Zijun looked disgusted, and bluntly said that he never wanted to enter the examination room that was not as good as the pigsty again in his life.

The man thought that he would come here to drink with such energy just after the exam, he must be an uneducated young man, but he changed his mind a lot when he didn't want to talk, at this time he couldn't help but sigh, "It's true, I waited for the students To be answered by the numbered room, I have really lived a life that is not as good as a pig or a dog for a few days."

Liang Zijun smiled and did not expose his plot, but he just made a temporary drinking buddy, why bother digging out his heart?What's more, he talked casually, afraid that this well-educated person would not be interested, so he just picked up some anecdotes and said them, and the expression of the person on the other side flickered, which was very exciting.

The man frowned slightly. This guy looked like he was acting flamboyantly and pompously, but he was definitely not as sloppy as he appeared on the surface. He must have developed a defensive mind, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and bowed repeatedly, "Brother is not the one I'm looking for, I won’t bother you any more, please forgive me for being abrupt just now.”

Liang Zijun casually stretched out his arms to signal a word of please, and when he saw the person get up sullenly, he suddenly paused, "If you are willing to help me a little, I would like to help you."

Liang Zijun laughed twice, and drank the good wine in his glass, "I don't need to help you, Liang Moufei is that kind of person who doesn't know how to know, even if he drank your wine, he didn't dare to help, but he can give you some pointers."

The man's color brightened, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear more about it"

Liang Zijun said a few words casually, and saw the man leave the table in a hurry with a strange expression, he smacked his mouth and said playfully, "That's right, it's up to you to find the way! Tsk~ It's really good wine, it's not in vain Sell ​​credit to you"

What the man came to Liang Zijun to find out was the cheating in the scientific examination. Liang Zijun didn't like to cause trouble, but the scientific examination was over, and he only had to wait for the results to be released in early winter.

As for how much shock his remarks would cause to the provincial capital, it was not something Liang Zijun could interfere with.He doesn't care about who will fall from the horse and who will rise to the top. All he wants is to have fun, but the result is not within the scope of his concern.

Cheating in the imperial examination room can be said to have existed since ancient times. There are dozens of types of cheating, and the methods are also strange and strange. Classified into three categories: entrustment, test taker and entrainment.

Please ask to use the relationship, bribe the examiner, and open up the joints, so as to seek the ranking.The specific methods include exploring questions, joints and stealing changes.Exploring questions means leaking test questions before the test.Joints are commonly known as passwords.Stealthy corrections go a step further, tampering with the test papers and transcribing the secret test papers.

The noble rely on power, the rich rely on wealth, and relatives rely on love.If you have no power, no wealth, and no relationship, then you have nowhere to ask.

If the examinee has a little bit of property, but has no way to directly buy an official, or ask for a bribe, there is another way of cheating, that is, taking the exam.Ghostwriters are also known as fake hands, which can be divided into two types: entering the test under a different name and being admitted to the hospital.Taking the test under another name refers to taking the test on behalf of someone else, and the substituted person will not be admitted.The prosthetic hand in the hospital is that the substitute and the substitute take the same entrance examination and answer the questions for each other.

If the examinee's family is poor and he can neither pay bribes nor afford to hire a ghostwriter, he can only entrain it by himself.There are various methods of entrainment, and the most common method is to stuff the note into the clothes, shoes and socks, or write it on the body of the clothes.Carry-on items can also be carried, such as brushes, food, candles and so on.

There are even some people who find another way to hide the answers on oiled paper, tie them with thin threads and hide them in the back acupuncture points.There is even a "silver salt blackening technique" developed by experts. The best cheating method is flying pigeons to send letters. Use the flying pigeons trained on weekdays to send letters home at night, and then the family members ask experts to write the answers. Unknowingly.

Of course, the imperial court has introduced many solutions to this over the years, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and corrupt officials are mixed with nepotism, making it even more difficult to prevent and control it thoroughly.Even if caught cheating, you will get 50 boards and be barred from being an official for life, there are still people with little talent and learning who are tempted by fame and fortune and continue to succeed.

Therefore, when someone used the pretext of chatting to inquire about fraud, Liang Zijun would say that he did not want to reveal the truth.How could such a talented and talented person appear in this small provincial city for no reason?Presumably it must be an inspector sent down from above, Liang Zijun refused to step into this muddy water, so he refused to explain it, he only mentioned a few points to let him torment himself.Anyway, as long as I wait for the results to be released, I will return to my hometown. As for winning or not?With his knowledge and customs clearance money, I don't believe there will be any unscrupulous person who would dare to drop his test paper.

Filled with food and drink, Liang Zijun returned to the restaurant to wait for the news with confidence. Within three days, the pool of water in the provincial capital was turned into a pot of gruel by that man.

Listening to the latest news, Liang Zijun covered his mouth and said with a chuckle, "It's really not a thing in the pool, it's not in vain for the Lord's intentions."

Three days after Liang Meng returned home, the Liang family returned to its usual calm. Chen Qing had no time to be sentimental, he was still busy going into the mountains to pick mountain products, and had to hire someone to repair the old house when he found time.

Houses with wooden frames have to be painted with tung oil every few years, otherwise they will rot over time.Chen Qingyuan wanted to do it by himself, but considering the tight schedule, he reluctantly hired two carpenters to help.

Tung oil is the paint that is commonly used for oiling at present, and it is also the only means of antisepsis for wooden furniture.Before the wood is used, it will be soaked in a special way, and then brushed with tung oil to prevent corrosion and insects.

Chen Qing couldn't stay idle, so she simply rolled up her sleeves to work, anyway, it was just brushing oil, it wasn't difficult.

Although brushing oil is not a technical job, it is very easy to stain the clothes. Chen Qing tore the hem of the clothes and secretly rejoiced that he was working in sackcloth, otherwise the fine brocade clothes would be ruined if they were stained with tung oil.

The tung oil can't be washed off, and after it dries, it will be hard and condensed into a piece. Chen Qing rubbed it hard to soften the oil stain, but fortunately, it doesn't matter for clothes or work.

After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather began to turn cold. After several consecutive heavy rains, the house became damp and cold.Taking advantage of the good weather, Chen Qing turned out the mountain goods collected two days ago to get rid of the tide, and started to fry some snacks for the pregnant women and children at home.

Brother Yang was about to give birth, and Chen Qing went to the shopkeeper Lin in the town to prepare two tonics and a pair of labor-inducing decoction. By chance, he found an old wild ginseng when he went up the mountain, and kept it in case of emergency.

Chen Qing was not willing to eat the eggs at home, and saved them for brother Yang's health.If Liang Meng's wedding hadn't used up all the eggs he had saved, he might not even have to exchange red eggs with the villagers at this time.

As soon as he delivered a bowl of walnut kernels to Brother Yang, the shop assistant rushed to the door to look for him.Chen Qing immediately took off her apron, explained to Brother Yang, and followed the man into the carriage.
