Little husband, he is born with a good life
Chapter 34
The festival at the girl's house is very lively, and there are many people on the street selling flowers with baskets on their shoulders. Xie Ning doesn't really appreciate flowers, but he just likes to be with Lone Year to catch the excitement.
The two of them crossed the South Bridge while chatting, and arrived at the suburban area within two steps of the corner. From a distance, they could already see many women lined up to worship the Flower God.
As he approached, he could feel the bustle and bustle of people around him. Xie Ning looked for the noise and saw a group of people flying paper kites.
"Lone Year, buy a paper kite to play with." Xie Ning tugged at the sleeves of the person beside him.
Zhou Ji Nian naturally agreed, and the two went to find a stall for making paper kites. The artisan's hands were quite skillful, peony clusters, auspicious birds, Monkey King Monkey King, etc. lay vividly on the paper.
Zhou Ji Nian picked a three-tailed fire carp for Xie Ning. This craftsman painted really well. The fiery red carp seems to be swimming on the paper. Such a painting is not expensive.
After paying the money, he led the little husband to the wide grassland. Zhou Ji Nian was pulling the money, Xie Ning took two steps with the paper kite in his hand. It was windy in March, and the paper kite flew high into the sky without using his legs. .
Wicker rubs thread and cotton, rubs enough for Chihiro to put paper kites.
Zhou Jinnian waited for the paper kite to stabilize in the air before handing it to the eager Xie Ning and saying, "Come on, pull the thread and loosen it slowly, and then send the thread when it can't be pulled anymore."
Xie Ning held the thread tuft and held his head up, grinning slightly, watching his fire carp slowly loosen the thread.
Zhou Jinnian followed him two steps at the beginning, the little husband ran wild and ran forward, like a young wild horse released from the stall, full of energy.
With Zhou Jinnian behind his back, his eyes followed the little husband.
Today's Xie Ning was wearing a light blue robe, fair and handsome, with long black hair fluttering in the wind, Zhou Jinian could no longer see anyone else.
"Kites fly and butterflies dance happily, far and near as you like." A soft and sweet female voice sounded from Zhou Jinnian's side.
Zhou Jinian didn't respond much, the girl's servant girl got anxious, walked up to Zhou Jinian and said: "Young master is well, my lady invites me to tell you."
Only then did Zhou Jinian turn sideways to face the woman. The woman's face was like a peach blossom, and she was talented and knowledgeable when she spoke, so her background must be unusual.
Seeing that his kite was flying higher than the others, Xie Ning proudly turned his head to look for Zhou Jinnian. He saw two women beside his husband. Ji Nian recited two poems.
"Hua Chao came back early from school, and hurriedly led her husband to release paper kites." Zhou Jinnian nodded slightly to the woman, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Ji Nian is wearing an indigo robe today, which was the outfit that Ning Lang bought for him years ago.
The woman blushed instantly, she watched Zhou Jinnian standing alone for a long time from a distance, her face was as sharp and angular as a sculpture, when she approached, she was so handsome and beautiful, many women around her peeped quietly, she looked around , stepped forward quite confidently, not wanting to be embarrassed.
After Zhou Jinnian finished speaking, he turned around, and happened to see the little husband who was five steps away from him, went to hold him, and asked, "Where's the paper kite?"
Xie Ning let out a light 'ah', turned his head to look up at the sky, and pointed to the sky, "Fly away."
The two were holding hands at this moment, and Zhou Jinian squeezed his tiger's mouth when he heard that, "You let go, my fire carp is gone, and you have to pay your husband a small carp."
"Hmm." Xie Ning shook Zhou Jinnian's hand, embarrassed to speak, and the eighty copper coins flew away.
"Let's go." Zhou Jinnian led his little husband and left.
Xie Ning took a step behind on purpose, and quietly turned his head to look at the woman. The woman saw him from a distance and turned her head, smiled at him, and made a blessing hand salute.
She is a self-confident and generous woman who has read a lot of poetry and books.
Xie Ning pursed his lips and gave a shallow smile, then turned his head and took two big steps to stand side by side with Zhou Jinnian, feeling sweet in his heart, couldn't help but shake the hand he was holding.
Zhou Jinian looked at him sideways, "Huh?"
"Hey..." Xie Ning grinned, and laughed twice seeing that Zhou Jinnian looked past him, he stopped smiling, pursed his lips and turned his head, seeing his brother Xie Yao and a woman admiring flowers side by side.
"my brother!"
Zhou Jinnian dragged him to walk in the opposite direction from Xie Yao.
"Ji Nian, it's Big Brother!"
"I know, but today Huachao, my husband won't accept anyone's interruptions, even my eldest brother. Now go buy you a paper kite, and you choose one yourself."
Xie Ning turned his head frequently and shouted in a fussy voice, "That woman looks so familiar!"
Zhou Jinian was not surprised and dragged him away.
After buying paper kites this time, Xie Ning ordered another small bamboo basket, filled it up with a lot of trinkets, and went to a stall selling flower cakes.
It's really the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Xie Ning is greedy.
"Mother-in-law, here are some peach blossom cakes." Xie Ning pointed at the beige shortcakes, saying that Zhou Ji Nian meant to pay.
The cake seller was an old lady. He glanced at Xie Ning, waved his hand and said, "If you don't sell it, you won't be able to eat it."
Why didn't peach cakes be sold to him?Xie Ning stared at Zhou Jinnian with wide eyes, with grievances and doubts in his eyes.
"Why can't we eat peach blossom cakes?" Zhou Jinnian asked in a deep voice.
The old lady looked at them in surprise, why are they still angry?
"Peach blossoms invigorate the blood, so you won't get pregnant if you eat them? If you want to eat them, you can eat less of these lotus cakes."
"Aborted baby?" Xie Ning repeated in a low voice, and was stunned.
Zhou Jinnian also went to see Xie Ning's belly immediately, and slept with his arms around him every night. Naturally, he was aware of Xie Ning's small belly, but he only thought it was because he had gained weight.
But now Xie Ning is wearing a long robe and is tightly wrapped, not to mention his stomach, why does the old lady think that Xie Ning is pregnant?
"Mother-in-law is talking about me?" Xie Ning blinked, wanting to confirm.
"Of course it's you." The mother-in-law affirmed, but when she asked the reason, she couldn't tell. She could see it herself, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Although the old woman is not a doctor, there is no basis for her words.But Xie Ning held Zhou Jinnian's hand, and his voice was crisp and joyful: "Ji Nian, let's see the doctor!"
I was so excited, and asked Zhou Jinnian to pay for the peach blossom cakes and lotus cakes from my mother-in-law's stall.
The old lady took a piece of silver, her heart jumped, why did this nobleman look sour just now, but immediately became happy again, he gave you so much money, he got rich!
Zhou Jinnian was worried, so he stopped Xie Ning from going to see the doctor, "Go home first, I'll invite the doctor back, it's windy today, you run like crazy, don't blow the wind anymore."
He had to buy some time to talk to the doctor.
Xie Ning stood still and stared at Zhou Jinian with his slender eyebrows, and said anxiously, "Then you don't want to make another trip? Why bother? I'm not a delicate porcelain doll!"
Zhou Jinnian coaxed him from left to right, but the little husband was spoiled by him, so he didn't listen to him.
In desperation, I had no choice but to hold the little husband by the hand and say to take him to the clinic, but I kept thinking of countermeasures in my mind.
Xie Ning lightly grabbed the hand held by her husband, and after breaking free, he held his flat stomach under the fine clothes with both hands, and walked forward cautiously with his head down.
Zhou Jinnian was behind him, seeing the little husband holding his belly like a duckling, wagging his eyes, smiling, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Well, maybe there really is?
All the way back to the city to find a doctor.
Xie Ning sat in the medical hall, staring straight at his stomach, seriously feeling if there was anything unusual in his stomach.
Zhou Jinian stared closely at the doctor's face, waiting for the doctor to cover his mouth and tear him away if he dared to frown.
The doctor had a few gray beards hanging on his chin, his face was expressionless, very serious, he took a long time before retracting his hand, and Zhou Ji Nian immediately moved his feet forward.
The doctor coughed, and Zhou Jinnian took a step forward.
The doctor opened his mouth slowly, and said lightly, "Yes."
The sound was soft as if he was yawning, but Zhou Jinnian, who was focused, could hear it clearly.
have? !
"Congratulations, little man, it's almost two months, and your pulse is healthy." The doctor paused and said, "Your body temperature is too low, but you don't have any cold symptoms. Although it's the spring moon, you still need to wear more clothes. I will prescribe some decoctions for you to replenish qi and blood."
Only then did Xie Ning shift his gaze from his stomach to the doctor's face, seeing that the doctor's face was still flat and unhappy, he looked up at Zhou Ji Nian again.
Zhou Jinnian raised the corners of his mouth, and in addition to paying for the pulse diagnosis, he also gave happiness money, and shared some peach blossom cakes and lotus flower cakes, both the doctor and the little medicine man in the shop.
The few little drug dealers who asked for it repeatedly cupped their hands and expressed their congratulations.
Zhou Jinnian held Xie Ning in one hand and Xie Ning's small bamboo basket in the other.
While Xie Ning was being held by one hand, while covering his stomach with the other, he went home all the way.
Luhe hadn't come back yet, Shitou saw that his master had come back, fetched water and went to the main room, seeing Zhou Jinnian twisting the veil for Xie Ning who was sitting there wiping his face and hands, he was very surprised, but rather It's the first time I've seen such a favorite husband's host.
"What?" Seeing that Xie Ning hadn't spoken, Zhou Jinnian just stared at his stomach.
After waiting for a while, Xie Ning raised his head to respond to him, "Hey..."
The smile was naive and sweet, and Zhou Jinnian also laughed.
When the whole family including Xie Yao got together at night, Zhou Jinnian announced the good news, Lin Jin covered his mouth in surprise and joy, he knew the sheep whip soup would work!
This is not considered a day, isn't it the time when his son drank sheep whip soup!
The next day, Lin Jin went to the temple to pray to the Buddha without hesitation, and prayed to the Buddha to bless his husband, Lang, to give birth to the baby in a healthy and healthy way.
Before Zhou Jinian and their school started, good things happened to Xie Ning one after another. He was pregnant, Lin Guihua gave birth to a fat boy, and Xie Yao got engaged!The fiancée is Li Shiyi, the first daughter of the Li family.
Xie Ning guessed that his elder brother's engagement should be related to the letter he sent for Li Shiyi when he returned to the village for the New Year. He happily thought that he was the matchmaker, and no matter how he asked, his elder brother would not reveal anything.
Zhou Laosan was also very happy, he was about to have a grandson, and then his fourth brother had a son, and he had someone to succeed him.
In the letter that came with the good news of Lin Guihua, there was also bad news that Zhou Wenshu failed the ranking again.
No matter how cold or cold this time, Zhou Wenshu didn't drink a drop of wine, but he was too nervous. The old Zhou family, from his sixth uncle to his second younger brother, was awarded as a scholar.
As the one who was left behind, the pressure was too great.
This time when he returned to the village, Zhou Wenshu's mother's face collapsed, her old face was livid, and his father Zhou Dafeng passed out directly...
……
Zhou Jinnian hired an accountant for Quan Yuyan, and the family also hired a wife, Mrs. Chen, who worked in the kitchen. He rushed to clean up the unused bathroom for Xie Ning before returning to the school.
Since the pregnancy was diagnosed, Xie Ning lost his appetite and threw up everything he ate in the third month, so his family came to take care of him carefully.
As a result, as soon as summer came, he fell into a fever again. He felt hot when Zhou Jinnian was around, but he pouted and sulked when he was not around.
After tossing Zhou Jinnian for a while, I just go swimming with him, and I can't go anywhere.
In Huaixia's fourth month, the fetus in her belly has stabilized.
Xie Ning took off his clothes, his fair skin seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light, he turned around and walked towards Zhou Ji Nian with his obviously distended belly, and was helped into the water carefully.
As soon as Xie Ning stood firmly in the water, he shook his arms, shook off Zhou Jinian's hand and happily swam in the water. He didn't come out of the water until his body was almost cool.
"I want to eat melon." He was referring to a watermelon. Zhou Jinnian Muxiu bought one. The watermelon was split in half, the flesh was bright red, full of water and sweet enough.
Sitting by the pool, Zhou Jinnian bowed a handful of water to splash Ning Lang, to avenge the loss of his hand just now.
Xie Ning was dripped on his face by the oncoming drops of water, he blinked, wiped his face with his hand, swam over and hugged Zhou Jinnian's leg coquettishly, "Watermelon."
"Eat after dinner, what do you want to eat at noon?" Zhou Jinnian covered Ning Lang's forehead with his hand, wiped his forehead and moved it backwards, Xie Ning followed his strength and raised his head back, his eyes widened in thought gourmet food.
Xie Ning wanted to eat something cold, because Lin Jin's father would make soup for him at night, and let him drink it while it was hot.
"Let's have some sprouts in cold salad." Xie Ning's gums began to ooze from the sour cold cold salad.
Zhou Jinnian nodded, and got into the pool to swim with Xie Ning twice. When in the water, Xie Ning was getting tired of him, so he leaned in front of him, and took the initiative to grab her husband's arm and wrap himself around him.
Then he raised his head and smiled silly, but his eyes were full of Zhou Ji Nian.
After playing in the water for a while, Xie Ning went ashore, wearing the long gown that Zhou Jinnian bought for him, made of silk, light and elegant, cool and breathable.
When he went to the kitchen, Mrs. Chen was already making arrangements, and Lin Jin hadn't come back yet, so he wanted to make a cold dish at this moment.
"What does Ning Lang want? I'll make it for you. The fire is already burning, you go out and sit for a while, the master tells you not to let the heat burn you."
Xie Ning curled the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, he is not so afraid of heat, it's just that the conditions at home are better now, Zhou Jinnian just wants to give him the best care.
"It's okay, I just thought of a new dish, and I want to make it to try something new." Xie Ning went to the vegetable shelf in the corner to look for vegetables, found lotus root, potatoes, cabbage, bean sprouts, fresh mushrooms, etc., and took everything.
This was not enough, and he pointed to the shrimp paste on the chopping board and asked, "Is this for steaming eggs?"
Mrs. Chen couldn't stop her, so she had no choice but to answer: "Yes, Master Jin asked Ciannier to steam an egg for you."
Xie Ning guessed it, knowing that he loves to eat fish and shrimp, so his father bought it every day to make steamed eggs with shrimp for him, and he was the only treat in the whole family.
Xie Ning handed the selected dishes to Aunt Chen, "Sister-in-law Chen, wash and slice these for me."
After finishing speaking, I took a small spoonful of flour mixed with shrimp paste and kneaded it into a ball, then kneaded it into a long strip, kneaded it little by little, and finally kneaded it into a small ball.
He made it here, and Mrs. Chen also sliced the vegetables, and asked him: "It's all done, do you want to fry it?"
"Don't stir-fry, just boil the water. When the water boils, scald these and put them aside. I'll mix them with sauce and it'll be fine."
"Well, you have a lot of amazing ideas." Mrs. Chen also ate with the host's family, but tasted a lot of Xie Ning's delicacies.
Xie Ning scooped two tablespoons of sesame paste, chopped green onion, garlic and pepper, added a spoonful of his homemade spicy soy sauce and sesame seeds, and finally poured hot oil over the sauce, stirred well and poured it over the cooked vegetables and shrimp balls Served, mixed and added salt, a spoonful of vinegar and a spoonful of sugar.
The delicious mixed vegetables were ready, just as Lin Jin came back, Zhou Feng stayed at the restaurant to play chess with his friends.
"Why did you come to the stove? Isn't it hot?" Lin Jin smelled it. The smell of sesame paste and sesame oil in the stove combined made him very appetizing.
"Father, try it."
Lin Jin walked over to take a look, and saw a plate full of messy-looking vegetables, green, yellow, and red mixed together, but it looked quite appetizing.
He tasted a piece of lotus root, which was sour and hot mixed with the aroma of sesame seeds. It was a cold dish with sesame sauce, and he wanted to eat it even after eating it.
"Delicious." Lin Jin picked up another red and white meatball, which tasted a bit like lumpy noodles, but with the umami taste of shrimp, "Shrimp added to this side?"
"Hey..." Xie Ning picked up the plate and was about to slip away, "I won't eat steamed eggs for lunch today."
Lin Jin immediately understood, stopped him from taking the plate and said, "Hey! I'll take it, you should stand still, and the meal will be ready soon."
"En." Xie Ning withdrew his hand, and walked obediently step by step. He didn't follow to the main room, and turned to Zhou Jinnian's study.
He went to the study to snatch Zhou Jinian's seat, took a brush to practice calligraphy, Zhou Jinian stood by and tried his best to be a book boy for others, fanning his little husband with insight.
When it was time to eat, Zhou Feng hadn't come back yet.
"Alas, a middle-aged person becomes a stinky chess basket." Lin Jin sighed, and greeted Xie Ning, "Let's eat, and I'll send it to him in the afternoon."
Xie Yao sat down to eat, put down the bowl and chopsticks to rest when it was too hot, looked up and saw Zhou Jinian holding the chopsticks in one hand and waving a fan at his brother with the other.
Xie Ning was sweating from the tip of his nose, obviously hot, but he ate deliciously.
Xie Yao's heart moved slightly. When he was young, Ning Lang liked to go to the kitchen, and his younger sister, Yuyatou, followed him to eat and drink, but after all, it was a farm, and there were not many ingredients for his brother to study.
Occasionally, Xie Ning's weird food was not ready, and he had to be scolded by his stepmother.
Their father was an authentic farmer, who worked hard on every grain, and was very strict in terms of food. He only paid attention to satiety, and did not allow Xie Ning to tinker with new dishes.
Xie Yao thought to himself that his younger brother's relatives were married, and Zhou Jinnian really did what he said when he proposed marriage: protect Ning Lang for life, but ask Xie Ning for his favor.
Xie Ning took a piece of garlic and white meat dipped in vinegar, stuffed it into his mouth in a big mouthful, puffed up his cheeks and chewed, looked at the opposite brother strangely, raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "Huh?"
Xie Yao picked up the chopsticks again, his younger brother looked more and more like Zhou Jinnian, and Zhou Jinnian was the same way, if he had any doubts, he would say 'hmm', and it would be fatal to say two more words.
"Eat yours."
"..."
Seeing that the mixed vegetables on the table are more popular than the meat on the table, Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled. Every time he cooks, what he looks forward to seeing the most is his family's support and love for the food.
After he was full, Xie Ning held a piece of watermelon and cherished it and bit it. It was still very sweet, but he couldn't eat it.
Zhou Jinian heard that watermelon is cold in nature, so he didn't want Ning Lang to eat more, so he always went to take a bite, swallowed it, and then went to take a big bite.
There was such a small piece of watermelon, and at the end there was still a little bit of red flesh left, which Xie Ning held and gnawed pitifully. Only the watermelon skin was left. When consummating the house, I was asked to catch prawns and eat them myself, but now I’m not given melons to eat, eh..."
Zhou Jinnian burst out laughing, a very rare belly laugh, hearty and hearty.
When they first consummated the house, they went to the water hole in consideration of Xie Ning's physique. At that time, Zhou Jinnian was not very good at water, and the naughty little fish was going to drill the water hole. In order to coax Xie Ning not to drill, they asked him to catch shrimps , who would have thought that he would be wronged by the little husband?It's really funny.
Zhou Jinnian had had enough of laughing, went over to hold the young husband, and sucked on his mouth twice, "You can tell me what else, my husband will regret it."
Xie Ning pushed Zhou Jinnian lightly with his belly out, "Hey..." He smiled innocently, "It's gone."
Then Zhou Jinnian gently rubbed his stomach and fanned him to take a lunch break.
Afterwards, Zhou Jinnian went to ask the doctor himself, and found out that the little husband can eat watermelon at the moment, as long as he doesn't eat too much, it definitely won't work as a meal.
Now Xie Ning's greed was finally relieved, he could eat a small piece of sweet watermelon every day without having to chew on the skin.
……
Xie Ning's homemade hot sauce is loved by Brother Rong's fiancé, Wang Jiagui. One day, he came to Fucheng along with Zhou Feng, and found Xie Ning to negotiate a deal.
The reason is that Zhou Feng and his wife couldn't make Xie Ning's hot sauce. The spicy taste has layers, and the focus is on fragrance.In fact, it is very simple. Xie Ning has a step-by-step process for making chili sauce. Fry fresh chili peppers in hot oil until they are broken, then pour chili noodles, and pour oil.
In short, it is repeated repeatedly, although it is troublesome, the taste of the hot sauce is rich and layered.
Wang Jiagui was originally a merchant, but most of them transported goods for merchants.It's not easy to do business these days. The fertile land belongs to the landlords, the tea and silk are monopolized by local tyrants and evil gentry, and even the salt is owned by the government, and smuggling will cost you your head.
So Wang Jiagui wanted to try running a business for himself, and he didn't run far this time, so he was very confident in transporting the hot sauce.
Xie Ning is also very motivated. At the beginning, he wanted to transport Qingyuan's delicacies like a barbarian and sell them to the desert or overseas.
Once the plan comes out, the division of labor and cooperation.
Xie Ning asked Zhou Feng to go back to Dajing Village to buy chili and garlic, both fresh and dried, while he improved the new hot sauce at home.
After two months of busy work, the lotus flower was in June, and the small caravan of Wang Jiagui and his party set off.
Looking at the temporarily rented small courtyard for making hot sauce and a group of workers, they are all people who work hard for their livelihood.Xie Ning hurriedly asked his fourth uncle to collect eggplants, and a group of people were busy making steamed dried eggplants, and then gave the workers another income.
He has always kept in mind what his husband said, while business people create wealth, they also create job opportunities for the people, pay taxes for the country and promote currency circulation.
With such an operation, the workers have just finished their work as helpers, just in time to go to the land to farm for the landlords to earn grain and rice noodles.
The steamed dried eggplants were indeed delicious, and before Wang Jiagui came back from the business, the steamed eggplants called vegetarian meat jerky were sold out in Fucheng.
Lin Jin kept the money for himself.Lin Jin and Zhou Feng were busy at the restaurant, but they didn't help Er Fulang, so Lin Jin was embarrassed to confiscate it.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jinnian also started the provincial imperial examination. Apart from Xie Yao, his classmate Zhang Youwen, and several old school students from the prefectural school, he was traveling with him this time.
Zhou Zhoufeng went to the news early to ask the sixth brother if he wanted the township examination, and he had long since dissipated from the anger during the Chinese New Year.
Unexpectedly, his sixth brother replied: No, wait for three years.
He also advises: This trip is no less than ten taels, the township examination is not a joke, and my nephew should not be arrogant or impatient.
This is the meaning of persuading Zhou Zhoufeng not to let his son go. Where is Zhou Laosan missing the ten taels of silver now?Naturally, he laughed it off.
The township examination is also called "big competition" in the folks. If you choose the top prize among a group of scholars, you will be the master of Juren.
He is a real master, a member of the system, and has no worries about food and clothing since then. In addition to enjoying special allowances from the imperial court, there are also local small farmers and small businessmen sending gold and silver.
The place of the examination is still in Fucheng, and the "Yuezhou Fu Gongyuan" was set up in the western suburbs of the city, which is dedicated to the rural examination for scholars.The imperial court specially appointed the chief examiner of the Hanlin University scholar and the deputy chief examiner of the deputy imperial envoy.
The time for the township examination is the ninth day of August, the [-]th day of August, and the [-]th day of August. There is one test every three days, and one test per day.
The college exam is cold, and the township exam is hot. It is not easy for scholars these days.
At dawn, the examinees entered the examination room one by one. They first passed through a closed small dark room, stripped off their entire body for inspection, and after the official inspection confirmed that there was no possibility of fraud, they put on their clothes and left the dark room to line up to enter the examination room.
It was only when Zhou Jinnian came out of the dark room that he breathed in peace. In front of the line were young men younger than him, and old scholars with yellow hair and dark backs. Of course, there were more middle-aged men who were ten years older than Zhou Jinnian.
A row of officials on the left and right looked at the group of scholars with serious faces, and suddenly shouted: "Put your hands down!"
It turned out that there was a young boy covering his mouth and nose. In front of him was an old scholar with a beard. The weather was hot and he didn't pay much attention to hygiene, which made the smell a bit smoky.The young man was so frightened by the officials that he quickly put down his hands. He hadn't taken the exam yet, and his heart was pounding.
Stepping forward bit by bit, he finally entered the examination booth with his own number, and Zhou Jinnian sat quietly.
After waiting for half an hour, I finally got the encouraging speeches from the chief and deputy examiners, followed by the distribution of examination papers and candles.
The first test was the "Four Books" essay, a five-character poem, which seemed to be as difficult as the scholar test.
In the second test, there are two papers on "Five Classics" and one five-character poem.
In the third session, there were five questions, five questions and five answers, from family questions to the country, centering on the theme of "cultivating talents and building scholars, serving as the foundation of the country".
The rural examination is a very long examination time. While the scholars are suffering from the examination, they also think of rushing back to the inn to make the last effort. Their brains are highly concentrated for a few days, and their minds are empty after the examination.
Although the capital city of Yuezhou is not big, there are many towns around it, so it is necessary to select [-] candidates for the new imperial examination from thousands of candidates.
The examiners mark the papers, and Zhou Jinnian goes home to hug his husband, waiting for the results to be released in mid-September.
作者有话要说:感谢在2020-10-0921:12:10~2020-10-1023:09:13期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 10 bottles of Huajiu Qiqiu; 241863963 bottles; Danny78, Mo|*Yaxuan 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them crossed the South Bridge while chatting, and arrived at the suburban area within two steps of the corner. From a distance, they could already see many women lined up to worship the Flower God.
As he approached, he could feel the bustle and bustle of people around him. Xie Ning looked for the noise and saw a group of people flying paper kites.
"Lone Year, buy a paper kite to play with." Xie Ning tugged at the sleeves of the person beside him.
Zhou Ji Nian naturally agreed, and the two went to find a stall for making paper kites. The artisan's hands were quite skillful, peony clusters, auspicious birds, Monkey King Monkey King, etc. lay vividly on the paper.
Zhou Ji Nian picked a three-tailed fire carp for Xie Ning. This craftsman painted really well. The fiery red carp seems to be swimming on the paper. Such a painting is not expensive.
After paying the money, he led the little husband to the wide grassland. Zhou Ji Nian was pulling the money, Xie Ning took two steps with the paper kite in his hand. It was windy in March, and the paper kite flew high into the sky without using his legs. .
Wicker rubs thread and cotton, rubs enough for Chihiro to put paper kites.
Zhou Jinnian waited for the paper kite to stabilize in the air before handing it to the eager Xie Ning and saying, "Come on, pull the thread and loosen it slowly, and then send the thread when it can't be pulled anymore."
Xie Ning held the thread tuft and held his head up, grinning slightly, watching his fire carp slowly loosen the thread.
Zhou Jinnian followed him two steps at the beginning, the little husband ran wild and ran forward, like a young wild horse released from the stall, full of energy.
With Zhou Jinnian behind his back, his eyes followed the little husband.
Today's Xie Ning was wearing a light blue robe, fair and handsome, with long black hair fluttering in the wind, Zhou Jinian could no longer see anyone else.
"Kites fly and butterflies dance happily, far and near as you like." A soft and sweet female voice sounded from Zhou Jinnian's side.
Zhou Jinian didn't respond much, the girl's servant girl got anxious, walked up to Zhou Jinian and said: "Young master is well, my lady invites me to tell you."
Only then did Zhou Jinian turn sideways to face the woman. The woman's face was like a peach blossom, and she was talented and knowledgeable when she spoke, so her background must be unusual.
Seeing that his kite was flying higher than the others, Xie Ning proudly turned his head to look for Zhou Jinnian. He saw two women beside his husband. Ji Nian recited two poems.
"Hua Chao came back early from school, and hurriedly led her husband to release paper kites." Zhou Jinnian nodded slightly to the woman, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Ji Nian is wearing an indigo robe today, which was the outfit that Ning Lang bought for him years ago.
The woman blushed instantly, she watched Zhou Jinnian standing alone for a long time from a distance, her face was as sharp and angular as a sculpture, when she approached, she was so handsome and beautiful, many women around her peeped quietly, she looked around , stepped forward quite confidently, not wanting to be embarrassed.
After Zhou Jinnian finished speaking, he turned around, and happened to see the little husband who was five steps away from him, went to hold him, and asked, "Where's the paper kite?"
Xie Ning let out a light 'ah', turned his head to look up at the sky, and pointed to the sky, "Fly away."
The two were holding hands at this moment, and Zhou Jinian squeezed his tiger's mouth when he heard that, "You let go, my fire carp is gone, and you have to pay your husband a small carp."
"Hmm." Xie Ning shook Zhou Jinnian's hand, embarrassed to speak, and the eighty copper coins flew away.
"Let's go." Zhou Jinnian led his little husband and left.
Xie Ning took a step behind on purpose, and quietly turned his head to look at the woman. The woman saw him from a distance and turned her head, smiled at him, and made a blessing hand salute.
She is a self-confident and generous woman who has read a lot of poetry and books.
Xie Ning pursed his lips and gave a shallow smile, then turned his head and took two big steps to stand side by side with Zhou Jinnian, feeling sweet in his heart, couldn't help but shake the hand he was holding.
Zhou Jinian looked at him sideways, "Huh?"
"Hey..." Xie Ning grinned, and laughed twice seeing that Zhou Jinnian looked past him, he stopped smiling, pursed his lips and turned his head, seeing his brother Xie Yao and a woman admiring flowers side by side.
"my brother!"
Zhou Jinnian dragged him to walk in the opposite direction from Xie Yao.
"Ji Nian, it's Big Brother!"
"I know, but today Huachao, my husband won't accept anyone's interruptions, even my eldest brother. Now go buy you a paper kite, and you choose one yourself."
Xie Ning turned his head frequently and shouted in a fussy voice, "That woman looks so familiar!"
Zhou Jinian was not surprised and dragged him away.
After buying paper kites this time, Xie Ning ordered another small bamboo basket, filled it up with a lot of trinkets, and went to a stall selling flower cakes.
It's really the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Xie Ning is greedy.
"Mother-in-law, here are some peach blossom cakes." Xie Ning pointed at the beige shortcakes, saying that Zhou Ji Nian meant to pay.
The cake seller was an old lady. He glanced at Xie Ning, waved his hand and said, "If you don't sell it, you won't be able to eat it."
Why didn't peach cakes be sold to him?Xie Ning stared at Zhou Jinnian with wide eyes, with grievances and doubts in his eyes.
"Why can't we eat peach blossom cakes?" Zhou Jinnian asked in a deep voice.
The old lady looked at them in surprise, why are they still angry?
"Peach blossoms invigorate the blood, so you won't get pregnant if you eat them? If you want to eat them, you can eat less of these lotus cakes."
"Aborted baby?" Xie Ning repeated in a low voice, and was stunned.
Zhou Jinnian also went to see Xie Ning's belly immediately, and slept with his arms around him every night. Naturally, he was aware of Xie Ning's small belly, but he only thought it was because he had gained weight.
But now Xie Ning is wearing a long robe and is tightly wrapped, not to mention his stomach, why does the old lady think that Xie Ning is pregnant?
"Mother-in-law is talking about me?" Xie Ning blinked, wanting to confirm.
"Of course it's you." The mother-in-law affirmed, but when she asked the reason, she couldn't tell. She could see it herself, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Although the old woman is not a doctor, there is no basis for her words.But Xie Ning held Zhou Jinnian's hand, and his voice was crisp and joyful: "Ji Nian, let's see the doctor!"
I was so excited, and asked Zhou Jinnian to pay for the peach blossom cakes and lotus cakes from my mother-in-law's stall.
The old lady took a piece of silver, her heart jumped, why did this nobleman look sour just now, but immediately became happy again, he gave you so much money, he got rich!
Zhou Jinnian was worried, so he stopped Xie Ning from going to see the doctor, "Go home first, I'll invite the doctor back, it's windy today, you run like crazy, don't blow the wind anymore."
He had to buy some time to talk to the doctor.
Xie Ning stood still and stared at Zhou Jinian with his slender eyebrows, and said anxiously, "Then you don't want to make another trip? Why bother? I'm not a delicate porcelain doll!"
Zhou Jinnian coaxed him from left to right, but the little husband was spoiled by him, so he didn't listen to him.
In desperation, I had no choice but to hold the little husband by the hand and say to take him to the clinic, but I kept thinking of countermeasures in my mind.
Xie Ning lightly grabbed the hand held by her husband, and after breaking free, he held his flat stomach under the fine clothes with both hands, and walked forward cautiously with his head down.
Zhou Jinnian was behind him, seeing the little husband holding his belly like a duckling, wagging his eyes, smiling, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Well, maybe there really is?
All the way back to the city to find a doctor.
Xie Ning sat in the medical hall, staring straight at his stomach, seriously feeling if there was anything unusual in his stomach.
Zhou Jinian stared closely at the doctor's face, waiting for the doctor to cover his mouth and tear him away if he dared to frown.
The doctor had a few gray beards hanging on his chin, his face was expressionless, very serious, he took a long time before retracting his hand, and Zhou Ji Nian immediately moved his feet forward.
The doctor coughed, and Zhou Jinnian took a step forward.
The doctor opened his mouth slowly, and said lightly, "Yes."
The sound was soft as if he was yawning, but Zhou Jinnian, who was focused, could hear it clearly.
have? !
"Congratulations, little man, it's almost two months, and your pulse is healthy." The doctor paused and said, "Your body temperature is too low, but you don't have any cold symptoms. Although it's the spring moon, you still need to wear more clothes. I will prescribe some decoctions for you to replenish qi and blood."
Only then did Xie Ning shift his gaze from his stomach to the doctor's face, seeing that the doctor's face was still flat and unhappy, he looked up at Zhou Ji Nian again.
Zhou Jinnian raised the corners of his mouth, and in addition to paying for the pulse diagnosis, he also gave happiness money, and shared some peach blossom cakes and lotus flower cakes, both the doctor and the little medicine man in the shop.
The few little drug dealers who asked for it repeatedly cupped their hands and expressed their congratulations.
Zhou Jinnian held Xie Ning in one hand and Xie Ning's small bamboo basket in the other.
While Xie Ning was being held by one hand, while covering his stomach with the other, he went home all the way.
Luhe hadn't come back yet, Shitou saw that his master had come back, fetched water and went to the main room, seeing Zhou Jinnian twisting the veil for Xie Ning who was sitting there wiping his face and hands, he was very surprised, but rather It's the first time I've seen such a favorite husband's host.
"What?" Seeing that Xie Ning hadn't spoken, Zhou Jinnian just stared at his stomach.
After waiting for a while, Xie Ning raised his head to respond to him, "Hey..."
The smile was naive and sweet, and Zhou Jinnian also laughed.
When the whole family including Xie Yao got together at night, Zhou Jinnian announced the good news, Lin Jin covered his mouth in surprise and joy, he knew the sheep whip soup would work!
This is not considered a day, isn't it the time when his son drank sheep whip soup!
The next day, Lin Jin went to the temple to pray to the Buddha without hesitation, and prayed to the Buddha to bless his husband, Lang, to give birth to the baby in a healthy and healthy way.
Before Zhou Jinian and their school started, good things happened to Xie Ning one after another. He was pregnant, Lin Guihua gave birth to a fat boy, and Xie Yao got engaged!The fiancée is Li Shiyi, the first daughter of the Li family.
Xie Ning guessed that his elder brother's engagement should be related to the letter he sent for Li Shiyi when he returned to the village for the New Year. He happily thought that he was the matchmaker, and no matter how he asked, his elder brother would not reveal anything.
Zhou Laosan was also very happy, he was about to have a grandson, and then his fourth brother had a son, and he had someone to succeed him.
In the letter that came with the good news of Lin Guihua, there was also bad news that Zhou Wenshu failed the ranking again.
No matter how cold or cold this time, Zhou Wenshu didn't drink a drop of wine, but he was too nervous. The old Zhou family, from his sixth uncle to his second younger brother, was awarded as a scholar.
As the one who was left behind, the pressure was too great.
This time when he returned to the village, Zhou Wenshu's mother's face collapsed, her old face was livid, and his father Zhou Dafeng passed out directly...
……
Zhou Jinnian hired an accountant for Quan Yuyan, and the family also hired a wife, Mrs. Chen, who worked in the kitchen. He rushed to clean up the unused bathroom for Xie Ning before returning to the school.
Since the pregnancy was diagnosed, Xie Ning lost his appetite and threw up everything he ate in the third month, so his family came to take care of him carefully.
As a result, as soon as summer came, he fell into a fever again. He felt hot when Zhou Jinnian was around, but he pouted and sulked when he was not around.
After tossing Zhou Jinnian for a while, I just go swimming with him, and I can't go anywhere.
In Huaixia's fourth month, the fetus in her belly has stabilized.
Xie Ning took off his clothes, his fair skin seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light, he turned around and walked towards Zhou Ji Nian with his obviously distended belly, and was helped into the water carefully.
As soon as Xie Ning stood firmly in the water, he shook his arms, shook off Zhou Jinian's hand and happily swam in the water. He didn't come out of the water until his body was almost cool.
"I want to eat melon." He was referring to a watermelon. Zhou Jinnian Muxiu bought one. The watermelon was split in half, the flesh was bright red, full of water and sweet enough.
Sitting by the pool, Zhou Jinnian bowed a handful of water to splash Ning Lang, to avenge the loss of his hand just now.
Xie Ning was dripped on his face by the oncoming drops of water, he blinked, wiped his face with his hand, swam over and hugged Zhou Jinnian's leg coquettishly, "Watermelon."
"Eat after dinner, what do you want to eat at noon?" Zhou Jinnian covered Ning Lang's forehead with his hand, wiped his forehead and moved it backwards, Xie Ning followed his strength and raised his head back, his eyes widened in thought gourmet food.
Xie Ning wanted to eat something cold, because Lin Jin's father would make soup for him at night, and let him drink it while it was hot.
"Let's have some sprouts in cold salad." Xie Ning's gums began to ooze from the sour cold cold salad.
Zhou Jinnian nodded, and got into the pool to swim with Xie Ning twice. When in the water, Xie Ning was getting tired of him, so he leaned in front of him, and took the initiative to grab her husband's arm and wrap himself around him.
Then he raised his head and smiled silly, but his eyes were full of Zhou Ji Nian.
After playing in the water for a while, Xie Ning went ashore, wearing the long gown that Zhou Jinnian bought for him, made of silk, light and elegant, cool and breathable.
When he went to the kitchen, Mrs. Chen was already making arrangements, and Lin Jin hadn't come back yet, so he wanted to make a cold dish at this moment.
"What does Ning Lang want? I'll make it for you. The fire is already burning, you go out and sit for a while, the master tells you not to let the heat burn you."
Xie Ning curled the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, he is not so afraid of heat, it's just that the conditions at home are better now, Zhou Jinnian just wants to give him the best care.
"It's okay, I just thought of a new dish, and I want to make it to try something new." Xie Ning went to the vegetable shelf in the corner to look for vegetables, found lotus root, potatoes, cabbage, bean sprouts, fresh mushrooms, etc., and took everything.
This was not enough, and he pointed to the shrimp paste on the chopping board and asked, "Is this for steaming eggs?"
Mrs. Chen couldn't stop her, so she had no choice but to answer: "Yes, Master Jin asked Ciannier to steam an egg for you."
Xie Ning guessed it, knowing that he loves to eat fish and shrimp, so his father bought it every day to make steamed eggs with shrimp for him, and he was the only treat in the whole family.
Xie Ning handed the selected dishes to Aunt Chen, "Sister-in-law Chen, wash and slice these for me."
After finishing speaking, I took a small spoonful of flour mixed with shrimp paste and kneaded it into a ball, then kneaded it into a long strip, kneaded it little by little, and finally kneaded it into a small ball.
He made it here, and Mrs. Chen also sliced the vegetables, and asked him: "It's all done, do you want to fry it?"
"Don't stir-fry, just boil the water. When the water boils, scald these and put them aside. I'll mix them with sauce and it'll be fine."
"Well, you have a lot of amazing ideas." Mrs. Chen also ate with the host's family, but tasted a lot of Xie Ning's delicacies.
Xie Ning scooped two tablespoons of sesame paste, chopped green onion, garlic and pepper, added a spoonful of his homemade spicy soy sauce and sesame seeds, and finally poured hot oil over the sauce, stirred well and poured it over the cooked vegetables and shrimp balls Served, mixed and added salt, a spoonful of vinegar and a spoonful of sugar.
The delicious mixed vegetables were ready, just as Lin Jin came back, Zhou Feng stayed at the restaurant to play chess with his friends.
"Why did you come to the stove? Isn't it hot?" Lin Jin smelled it. The smell of sesame paste and sesame oil in the stove combined made him very appetizing.
"Father, try it."
Lin Jin walked over to take a look, and saw a plate full of messy-looking vegetables, green, yellow, and red mixed together, but it looked quite appetizing.
He tasted a piece of lotus root, which was sour and hot mixed with the aroma of sesame seeds. It was a cold dish with sesame sauce, and he wanted to eat it even after eating it.
"Delicious." Lin Jin picked up another red and white meatball, which tasted a bit like lumpy noodles, but with the umami taste of shrimp, "Shrimp added to this side?"
"Hey..." Xie Ning picked up the plate and was about to slip away, "I won't eat steamed eggs for lunch today."
Lin Jin immediately understood, stopped him from taking the plate and said, "Hey! I'll take it, you should stand still, and the meal will be ready soon."
"En." Xie Ning withdrew his hand, and walked obediently step by step. He didn't follow to the main room, and turned to Zhou Jinnian's study.
He went to the study to snatch Zhou Jinian's seat, took a brush to practice calligraphy, Zhou Jinian stood by and tried his best to be a book boy for others, fanning his little husband with insight.
When it was time to eat, Zhou Feng hadn't come back yet.
"Alas, a middle-aged person becomes a stinky chess basket." Lin Jin sighed, and greeted Xie Ning, "Let's eat, and I'll send it to him in the afternoon."
Xie Yao sat down to eat, put down the bowl and chopsticks to rest when it was too hot, looked up and saw Zhou Jinian holding the chopsticks in one hand and waving a fan at his brother with the other.
Xie Ning was sweating from the tip of his nose, obviously hot, but he ate deliciously.
Xie Yao's heart moved slightly. When he was young, Ning Lang liked to go to the kitchen, and his younger sister, Yuyatou, followed him to eat and drink, but after all, it was a farm, and there were not many ingredients for his brother to study.
Occasionally, Xie Ning's weird food was not ready, and he had to be scolded by his stepmother.
Their father was an authentic farmer, who worked hard on every grain, and was very strict in terms of food. He only paid attention to satiety, and did not allow Xie Ning to tinker with new dishes.
Xie Yao thought to himself that his younger brother's relatives were married, and Zhou Jinnian really did what he said when he proposed marriage: protect Ning Lang for life, but ask Xie Ning for his favor.
Xie Ning took a piece of garlic and white meat dipped in vinegar, stuffed it into his mouth in a big mouthful, puffed up his cheeks and chewed, looked at the opposite brother strangely, raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "Huh?"
Xie Yao picked up the chopsticks again, his younger brother looked more and more like Zhou Jinnian, and Zhou Jinnian was the same way, if he had any doubts, he would say 'hmm', and it would be fatal to say two more words.
"Eat yours."
"..."
Seeing that the mixed vegetables on the table are more popular than the meat on the table, Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled. Every time he cooks, what he looks forward to seeing the most is his family's support and love for the food.
After he was full, Xie Ning held a piece of watermelon and cherished it and bit it. It was still very sweet, but he couldn't eat it.
Zhou Jinian heard that watermelon is cold in nature, so he didn't want Ning Lang to eat more, so he always went to take a bite, swallowed it, and then went to take a big bite.
There was such a small piece of watermelon, and at the end there was still a little bit of red flesh left, which Xie Ning held and gnawed pitifully. Only the watermelon skin was left. When consummating the house, I was asked to catch prawns and eat them myself, but now I’m not given melons to eat, eh..."
Zhou Jinnian burst out laughing, a very rare belly laugh, hearty and hearty.
When they first consummated the house, they went to the water hole in consideration of Xie Ning's physique. At that time, Zhou Jinnian was not very good at water, and the naughty little fish was going to drill the water hole. In order to coax Xie Ning not to drill, they asked him to catch shrimps , who would have thought that he would be wronged by the little husband?It's really funny.
Zhou Jinnian had had enough of laughing, went over to hold the young husband, and sucked on his mouth twice, "You can tell me what else, my husband will regret it."
Xie Ning pushed Zhou Jinnian lightly with his belly out, "Hey..." He smiled innocently, "It's gone."
Then Zhou Jinnian gently rubbed his stomach and fanned him to take a lunch break.
Afterwards, Zhou Jinnian went to ask the doctor himself, and found out that the little husband can eat watermelon at the moment, as long as he doesn't eat too much, it definitely won't work as a meal.
Now Xie Ning's greed was finally relieved, he could eat a small piece of sweet watermelon every day without having to chew on the skin.
……
Xie Ning's homemade hot sauce is loved by Brother Rong's fiancé, Wang Jiagui. One day, he came to Fucheng along with Zhou Feng, and found Xie Ning to negotiate a deal.
The reason is that Zhou Feng and his wife couldn't make Xie Ning's hot sauce. The spicy taste has layers, and the focus is on fragrance.In fact, it is very simple. Xie Ning has a step-by-step process for making chili sauce. Fry fresh chili peppers in hot oil until they are broken, then pour chili noodles, and pour oil.
In short, it is repeated repeatedly, although it is troublesome, the taste of the hot sauce is rich and layered.
Wang Jiagui was originally a merchant, but most of them transported goods for merchants.It's not easy to do business these days. The fertile land belongs to the landlords, the tea and silk are monopolized by local tyrants and evil gentry, and even the salt is owned by the government, and smuggling will cost you your head.
So Wang Jiagui wanted to try running a business for himself, and he didn't run far this time, so he was very confident in transporting the hot sauce.
Xie Ning is also very motivated. At the beginning, he wanted to transport Qingyuan's delicacies like a barbarian and sell them to the desert or overseas.
Once the plan comes out, the division of labor and cooperation.
Xie Ning asked Zhou Feng to go back to Dajing Village to buy chili and garlic, both fresh and dried, while he improved the new hot sauce at home.
After two months of busy work, the lotus flower was in June, and the small caravan of Wang Jiagui and his party set off.
Looking at the temporarily rented small courtyard for making hot sauce and a group of workers, they are all people who work hard for their livelihood.Xie Ning hurriedly asked his fourth uncle to collect eggplants, and a group of people were busy making steamed dried eggplants, and then gave the workers another income.
He has always kept in mind what his husband said, while business people create wealth, they also create job opportunities for the people, pay taxes for the country and promote currency circulation.
With such an operation, the workers have just finished their work as helpers, just in time to go to the land to farm for the landlords to earn grain and rice noodles.
The steamed dried eggplants were indeed delicious, and before Wang Jiagui came back from the business, the steamed eggplants called vegetarian meat jerky were sold out in Fucheng.
Lin Jin kept the money for himself.Lin Jin and Zhou Feng were busy at the restaurant, but they didn't help Er Fulang, so Lin Jin was embarrassed to confiscate it.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jinnian also started the provincial imperial examination. Apart from Xie Yao, his classmate Zhang Youwen, and several old school students from the prefectural school, he was traveling with him this time.
Zhou Zhoufeng went to the news early to ask the sixth brother if he wanted the township examination, and he had long since dissipated from the anger during the Chinese New Year.
Unexpectedly, his sixth brother replied: No, wait for three years.
He also advises: This trip is no less than ten taels, the township examination is not a joke, and my nephew should not be arrogant or impatient.
This is the meaning of persuading Zhou Zhoufeng not to let his son go. Where is Zhou Laosan missing the ten taels of silver now?Naturally, he laughed it off.
The township examination is also called "big competition" in the folks. If you choose the top prize among a group of scholars, you will be the master of Juren.
He is a real master, a member of the system, and has no worries about food and clothing since then. In addition to enjoying special allowances from the imperial court, there are also local small farmers and small businessmen sending gold and silver.
The place of the examination is still in Fucheng, and the "Yuezhou Fu Gongyuan" was set up in the western suburbs of the city, which is dedicated to the rural examination for scholars.The imperial court specially appointed the chief examiner of the Hanlin University scholar and the deputy chief examiner of the deputy imperial envoy.
The time for the township examination is the ninth day of August, the [-]th day of August, and the [-]th day of August. There is one test every three days, and one test per day.
The college exam is cold, and the township exam is hot. It is not easy for scholars these days.
At dawn, the examinees entered the examination room one by one. They first passed through a closed small dark room, stripped off their entire body for inspection, and after the official inspection confirmed that there was no possibility of fraud, they put on their clothes and left the dark room to line up to enter the examination room.
It was only when Zhou Jinnian came out of the dark room that he breathed in peace. In front of the line were young men younger than him, and old scholars with yellow hair and dark backs. Of course, there were more middle-aged men who were ten years older than Zhou Jinnian.
A row of officials on the left and right looked at the group of scholars with serious faces, and suddenly shouted: "Put your hands down!"
It turned out that there was a young boy covering his mouth and nose. In front of him was an old scholar with a beard. The weather was hot and he didn't pay much attention to hygiene, which made the smell a bit smoky.The young man was so frightened by the officials that he quickly put down his hands. He hadn't taken the exam yet, and his heart was pounding.
Stepping forward bit by bit, he finally entered the examination booth with his own number, and Zhou Jinnian sat quietly.
After waiting for half an hour, I finally got the encouraging speeches from the chief and deputy examiners, followed by the distribution of examination papers and candles.
The first test was the "Four Books" essay, a five-character poem, which seemed to be as difficult as the scholar test.
In the second test, there are two papers on "Five Classics" and one five-character poem.
In the third session, there were five questions, five questions and five answers, from family questions to the country, centering on the theme of "cultivating talents and building scholars, serving as the foundation of the country".
The rural examination is a very long examination time. While the scholars are suffering from the examination, they also think of rushing back to the inn to make the last effort. Their brains are highly concentrated for a few days, and their minds are empty after the examination.
Although the capital city of Yuezhou is not big, there are many towns around it, so it is necessary to select [-] candidates for the new imperial examination from thousands of candidates.
The examiners mark the papers, and Zhou Jinnian goes home to hug his husband, waiting for the results to be released in mid-September.
