Traveling through ancient times, my husband and I raised myself
Chapter 25 Imperial Examination
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Tang Ze woke up, Lin Xiao was still asleep. He probably didn't feel well drunk last night, so he didn't wake him up. He simply washed up. Tang Ze saw that there were some dumplings left in the kitchen, and he didn't want to. Then do other tricks, just cook in the pot.When it was almost done, Tang Ze washed his hands and was about to go to the house to see Xiao Lin. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Xiao Lin calling.
"Xiao Xiao, where am I? How's it going? Do you have a headache?" Tang Ze warmed his hands under the quilt first, then put his hands on Lin Xiao's temples, and gently massaged them.
"Aze, I'm fine. The villagers will be here later, so I have to get up quickly." Saying this, he quickly got out of bed and got dressed without waiting for Tang Ze to refuse.
"Don't worry, I'll make you a bowl of sugar water to warm your stomach. Take your time."
While Tang Ze was going to the kitchen, Lin Xiao quickly tidied herself up, and when she was sitting on the stool waiting for Tang Ze, she had time to recall what happened last night. Thinking of the stupid things she did while drunk, Lin Xiao was so ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the go underground.
"Xiao Xiao, come here to drink sugar water. Last night should be the first time you drank from a bar. You must have an upset stomach in the morning. I will eat some dumplings later." Tang Ze brought the bowl to Lin Xiao and saw his rosy cheeks Cheek, knowing that he was shy, didn't mention it again. Seeing Lin Xiao obediently drank the sugar water, he turned back to the kitchen and brought two bowls of dumplings.
After breakfast, the sun has risen outside. It is estimated that someone will come to pay New Year's greetings later. The couple hurriedly cleaned up and put all the snacks they bought on the table. The door opened, and it was Lin Ran who came first. And Lin Yougen.
"Uncle Lin, happy new year! Ah Ran, happy new year!"
"Happy New Year, Uncle! Ah Ran, Happy New Year!"
"Okay, okay, Happy New Year to you too, Xiao Ran urged me to come out to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning!" Lin Yougen smiled into a chrysanthemum, this year's harvest in the field is good, and he also got a few odd jobs Salary, last night's New Year's Eve meal was much richer than in previous years, no wonder he was happy!
"Father, you are obviously the one who got up late, so why blame me for getting up earlier than you?" Lin Ran pouted back, and happily walked towards the main room holding Lin Xiao's hand.
"Uncle Lin, go in and have something to eat, drink some tea before leaving."
"Hey! Good!" The two then entered the room.
"Brother Aze, where did you buy your snacks? Why are they so delicious?" Lin Ran chewed on the sweet toffee in his mouth.
"I bought it from a caravan in the city. It is said that it is the food of the northern tribes." Tang Ze took a lot of candies piled up in the space. There is a reason, anyway, there are many caravans in the city. Could it be that someone really took this to get to the bottom of it.
Sure enough, "Huh? That's such a pity, I still want to save some money to buy it myself someday?" Lin Ran never thought that these candies didn't belong to this time and space at all, but it was a pity that he would never be able to eat them anymore.
"Aran likes to take more, but Aze said that eating too much candy will cause a toothache. I just ate too much by accident last time, and the toothache has lasted for a long time!" Lin Xiao thought of the pain, his face turned pale up.
"Ah! Then I'd better just take a little bit." Lin Ran was terrified when he saw Lin Xiao's appearance.
"This kid! Hey!" Lin Yougen didn't know what to say, chatted with Tang Ze and the others for a while, drank a cup of tea, and the two went out to another house to pay New Year's greetings.
"Does Xiaoxiao want to go for a walk?" Tang Ze asked, hugging Lin Xiao after seeing off another group of villagers who came to pay New Year's greetings.
"I think, I still remember when I was young, Aran and I went to the villagers' homes to pay New Year's greetings, and I was so happy when I got a peanut, but..." Lin Xiao didn't continue, and Tang Ze naturally understood his feelings, just like Wang's. Man, the Chinese New Year probably won't make Lin Xiao feel better.
"Then later, I'll go for a walk in the village with Xiaoxiao, okay?"
"Okay, thank you Aze!" Lin Xiao's mood suddenly turned cloudy.
After waiting at home for a while, making sure that no one came to the door again, the two locked the door, dressed tightly, carrying the New Year's gift, and prepared to leave.First, of course, I went to the village chief's house, which was at the entrance of the village. Walking all the way, I met a lot of villagers chatting together in twos and threes. Today's sunshine is rare, and the people in the sun are lazy.
"Tang Ze, where do you take Xiaoxiao?" the enthusiastic villager asked.
"Happy New Year, grandpa. I'm going to take Xiaoxiao to the village chief's house."
"Oh, let's go to the village chief's house, okay, then you guys go." The uncle who asked the question smiled.
"Okay, goodbye, sir."
When I arrived at the village chief's house, I happened to see Lin Cheng and Lin Wen brothers reading in the yard, while Zhang and Lin Youwen's daughter Lin Li were embroidering.
"Grandma Zhang, Xiao Xiao and I are here to wish you New Year's greetings!" Tang Ze and Lin Xiaoxian walked up to Mrs. Zhang and bowed with smiles.
"Ah? It's Aze and Xiaoxiao here! Haha~ I was just wondering why I haven't seen you two yet?" Mrs. Zhang was really happy. Seeing Mrs. Tang Ze come to her for the first time, it shows that they are in the heart It is true that she is a relative and elder.
"Ah Ze, your grandpa, the village head, and your two uncles went to hang out with people you know well. If I knew you were here now, I wouldn't let them go no matter what! Ah Cheng, come and chat with A Ze, you You two didn't have much time to talk last time." Mrs. Zhang waved to the three brothers over there.
"Grandma, Ze, Xiaoxiao." Lin Cheng put down his book, and led his brothers over.
"Brother Ze, Xiao Xiao, happy new year!" Lin Shi and Lin Lei said in unison.
"Brother Ze, Xiao Xiao, happy new year." Lin Li on the side said. "Grandma, let me help mother and second aunt." Lin Li was embarrassed and said to Mrs. Zhang with the outsider beside her, and went into the house with the embroidered cloth.
"Happy New Year! Grandma, let me put down my things first!" Tang Ze put the things in his hands on the table.
"Hey! I bring something every time I come here, so I won't allow it next time, or I won't let the two of you come to the door!" Mrs. Zhang said seriously, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden. The younger generation is filial, She can only be happy, how can she be really angry!
"Xiao Xiao, let's talk to grandma, and Ah Cheng and I will go over there to chat."
"it is good!"
"I don't know what Aze wants to tell me?" Seeing that Tang Ze sent Lin Shi away again, Lin Cheng was a little curious.
"Ah Cheng is a scholar, and he will take the provincial examination next year. How do you know about the system?" Tang Ze hadn't thought about what he was going to do before, and it was just a helpless move to cooperate with Zhang Wenchen. To take on the responsibility of supporting the family.Now Li Yu wants to develop the crystal business in the capital, and it is estimated that it will develop in the capital in the future. He always has to think about the future of himself, Xiaoxiao and their children.Tang Ze knew how difficult it was to take the imperial examination in ancient times. Otherwise, Lin Youcai would not be a boy in his 30s. Tang Ze didn't want to be an official. No one will bully him again.
"Aze is preparing to take the imperial examination?" Lin Cheng was a little surprised. After all, he heard his father say that Tang Ze was cooperating with Zhang and Li in the county to do business. He thought Tang Ze was planning to go into business, but after thinking about it, after all As a scholar, farmer, businessman, and Tang Ze, it seems understandable for him to want to take the imperial examination now.
Tang Ze briefly explained his plans to Lin Cheng, and then Lin Cheng explained to him the current imperial examination system in detail.The current Emperor Yuxi is brave and wise, and values talents, so he also attaches great importance to the imperial examinations for selecting talents.The first round of the imperial examination is selected in the prefectures and counties. Those who pass the county examination and the government examination are called Tongsheng, and those who pass the courtyard examination with good grades are called scholars. The second round is the provincial three-year township examination. , and finally the imperial examination and palace examination in the capital.
"I'll go back and sort out the books, and I'll send them to Aze to help Aze. If Aze is free, I can introduce my mentor to Aze." Lin Cheng sincerely wanted to help Tang Ze, but he didn't What do you think, since his grandfather and others value Tang Ze, he should be friends with him.
"Thank you so much, A-Cheng. I wonder when A-Cheng will return to the county? I've been here to bother you for the past few days."
"Aze doesn't need to be polite, I can stay until Shangyuan and then return to the county."
The two chatted happily over there, and Lin Xiao also obediently stayed by Mrs. Zhang's side, helping her embroider.Looking at Lin Xiao's exquisite embroidery work, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help smiling.
"The little embroiderer is really good. Aze is lucky to marry you."
"Grandma Zhang, it's a little bit of luck to be able to marry Ah Ze." Lin Xiaoxiao was shy, but also had a hint of joy that couldn't be concealed.
"Hey! As long as the husband and wife live well together. Xiaoxiao, I don't know if you have visited your grandma today?" Mrs. Zhang didn't know what to say about Lin Xiao's divorce. She naturally disagreed, but after hearing Lin Xiao's tragic experience, she couldn't help but sympathize, so asking this question now was to test Lin Xiao's attitude.
"Grandma Zhang, I know maybe you don't understand, maybe I never thought about it before, but because of Aze, I feel happiness that I have never had before, and I don't want to lose it, so it doesn't matter what the villagers think , I just want to try my best to stay by Aze's side." Lin Xiao didn't evade, he knew that Tang Ze respected Zhang, so he was willing to tell her what was in his heart.
"Hey! It's grandma who thinks too much. I know it's not your fault. Don't worry, everyone's heart is bright. I heard that your uncle's family returned to the county early this morning. Alas! The Wang family is also self-inflicted! Good family Let her break it into pieces, I really feel sorry for my brother Da Lei who died early!" Zhang Shi sighed.
"Grandma Zhang, I'll take Xiaoxiao to Zhang Momo's house again, and I'll bring Xiaoxiao to see you another day."
"Aze and Xiaoxiao have lunch here. It's not too late to go to Yougen's house after eating."
"No, I don't want to be drunk again." Tang Ze joked.
"Forget it, Xiao Xiao, if you want to be bored at home, you can come and accompany my old lady." Mrs. Zhang asked Lin Xiao after pulling her back with a smile.
"Okay, Grandma Zhang. Brother Ah Cheng, let's go."
"Aze, little one, go slowly." Lin Cheng, who was as handsome as a green bamboo, smiled gently.
Going out from the village chief's house, I turned a corner and arrived at Zhang Qing's house. At this time, the door was really open, and I could only hear bursts of laughter coming from the house.

"Xiao Xiao, where am I? How's it going? Do you have a headache?" Tang Ze warmed his hands under the quilt first, then put his hands on Lin Xiao's temples, and gently massaged them.
