The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The next day Li Wen went back to the academy to meet the master, the academy had already received the news that they had passed the government examination.This time, there were more than a dozen students from Anlu Academy who went to take the government exam, and there were as many as six people who passed the government exam, which was more than the number in previous years. In previous years, at most two or three students had passed the exam. This year it has tripled.

And the case of this year's government examination was also won by their Anlu students. The gentlemen of the academy were very happy to hear the news.

"Student has seen Mr.." Li Wen saluted Mr. and said.

"Sit." Cai Kangbo had a rare smile on his face, and Li Wen sat down in his seat. Cai Kangbo said, "Sir, I know that with your grades, you must be able to pass the government exam this time. This time I know you won the exam." The ranking of the first case in the next government trial still surprised Mr.

"The students lived up to my master's expectations." Li Wen came to my husband today, the first thing was to talk about the government examination this time, and his plan to take the college examination next year.

Cai Kangbo was not surprised to hear that Mr. was planning to take the exam next year, and said, "Sir, you have already expected that you will pass the exam this time, and you will definitely take the exam next year. Since you have decided, sir will not persuade you." you.

"There is a sentence, sir, I don't know whether to say it properly. With your current achievements, if you continue to stay in Qingping, it will definitely restrict you. The situation in your family is also known to some extent. If the conditions in your family are better, the husband will definitely I recommend you to study in Nanyang, Nanyang is naturally better than Qingping."

In the small place of Qingping Town, Anlu Academy is the best academy, and the teachers who teach here are only from the background of scholars.With this child's aptitude, he has won the first place in the case twice in a row. He is very hopeful to win the first place in the next court examination. If there is a better teacher to teach him, he will definitely be able to improve in the future. building.

"Student understands Mr.'s painstaking efforts. It is not easy for my father to support me to study these years. It must cost a lot to go to Nanyang. Besides, the student is still young, and the family must be worried about the student's arrival in Taiping. Go to study far away.” Li Wen could understand the meaning of the husband, and the husband suggested that he go to Nanyang to study. First, the level of the teachers there must be higher, and second, the grades of the students around him must be better. What he can learn More.

It's just that his family's current conditions are limited, and he is too young to leave his parents to study in a place too far away. His parents and elders will definitely disagree.

Li Wen planned to study here for two years, and wait until he passed the college examination and obtained the status of a scholar before making further plans.

"Well, yes. In this case, you can stay in the academy and study at ease. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask sir. You have worked hard all the way to Fucheng for the exam. Go home and rest for a few days before returning to the academy to study Right." Cai Kangbo said.

"Student thanked you, sir." Li Wen got up, bowed to him, said everything that should be said, and said goodbye to him, and then he went out.

When he went back, Li Wen would not talk to his father about what the husband said. If his father knew about it, he would be thinking about this question all the time.Of course Li Wen knew that a good teacher and a good environment would be of great benefit to a person's improvement, but the current conditions in their family are not enough for him to choose a better one, so let's just leave it at that.

The foundation of the new house has been laid, and because his father accompanied him to Fucheng to take the exam, no one was in charge of the affairs here, so the work was suspended for a month.After they came back from Fucheng, they continued to work.

According to this progress, they are expected to move to the new house before July.

The beds they slept in in their old house were already old, and the one he slept on was still a small bed, who could still do it now, and in a few years he would not be able to sleep when he grew taller.Now that the new house is being built, it is necessary to hire someone to make the bed cabinet, table and chairs. Otherwise, when the house is built, there will be nothing in the house.

Li Wen mentioned to his father about hiring someone to make the bed cabinet, and his father agreed.

It's just that this blueprint is drawn by him, and he will hire someone to do it when the time comes.

His father was also worried about whether it would affect his studies. Li Wen said to his father, "No, father, sir gave me a few days off and asked me to rest at home for a few days. I just relax and do my homework. Something else."

"That's good, you can do it if you want, so let's hire someone to do it." Seeing that the child wanted help, Li Shanguan agreed

The house was being built at home, and Li Wen would run over to have a look. Everyone was shocked when he wanted to help with the work, and stopped him from doing it.

As soon as the summer solstice is over, summer is here before you know it, and the sun in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the weather is too hot, everyone who works is sweating.Li Wen couldn't help with building a house at home. When he went back, Li Wen told his mother to make some mung bean soup. Everyone drink.

But the mung bean soup was cold, and his aunt was pregnant now, so Li Wen told his aunt to drink less mung bean soup, as drinking too much would be bad for her health.

Li Wen found that after he came back from the government examination this time, the elders and adults in the village treated him as the treasure of the town and the village, and hoped that he would give them Lijia Village a scholar to come back from the examination. This recognition made Li Wen a little I can't laugh or cry.

Whose boy is disobedient, the woman whipped her boy with a whip, and said in her mouth, "Look at you, and then look at the three treasures of others, you are more like the three treasures of human beings, learn more..."

More than half of the women in the village beat their sons with Li Sanbao as an example. If such an uneasy family member is compared to Sun Yi who is so promising after giving birth to a son, I don’t know if I don’t compare. This comparison will make my heart angry fry.

Why is it the same to give birth to a son, when someone else gave birth to a good son, she gave birth to a son who was born to overcome her?Thinking about Li Sanbao coming back from the exam for a scholar tomorrow, his family can do nothing but make trouble, it really makes her mad.

Li Sanbao, Li Sanbao is Li Sanbao again!

The boys who were beaten all held grudges against Li Sanbao. They didn't know that they would not be able to escape the curse of "Li Sanbao" in the future.

Li Wen himself did not know these things.

He didn't need his help to build the house at home. Taking advantage of the few days of vacation, Li Wen rode a little donkey to his master's place, stayed with his master for two days, and went hunting with his master up the mountain.

They caught a pheasant that day, and both master and apprentice liked to eat beggar chicken. The chicken was slaughtered and plucked. To bury in the red-hot mud pit.

When you smell the aroma, pull out the chicken chop from the soil. The skin of the chicken is slightly browned, the chicken is cooked, a layer of chicken fat is dripping, and the mushrooms inside are fragrant^

"Well, it smells so good." Li Wen smelled the fragrance, not only he could smell the fragrance, but the big black dog could also smell the fragrance.If it weren't for the fact that the soil was still steaming, he believed that the big black dog couldn't help digging its paws to help.

"Okay, you dig it out." Zhao Si sat there drinking, directing the little apprentice to work.

"Oh, I'm just getting ready." Li Wen took a stick and dug out the two pheasants inside. Once he dug it out, the aroma became stronger. He found a large plate to throw the chickens in. He asked, "Master, do you smell it? Is it very fragrant?"

Seeing the wine jug his master put aside, Li Wen leaned over to smell it, grabbed it and tasted it.

"Is it good?" Zhao Si asked with a smile in his eyes as the brat even stole his drink.

"It doesn't taste good. I don't know why you like to drink this stuff. I'll make sorghum liquid for you to try some other day." Li Wen pushed aside the lotus leaves to reveal the chicken inside, took out a drumstick and gave it to his master. Shu threw a chicken wing to the big black dog, "General, come!"

As soon as the big black dog jumped, it left with the chicken wings in its mouth.

"Sorghum liquid?" Zhao Si asked with interest as soon as he heard it.

"咴-rr-rr--"

"Hey, what are you doing at fifteen? Why are you eating grass to join in the fun." Even this donkey stretched out his head to join in the fun. I don't know if it's been a long time since I saw him. Since he came back, this donkey has loved it. Sticking to him, Li Wen pushed the donkey's face away with his shoulder, grabbed a chicken leg and took a bite, saying, "Mmm, it's delicious."

"Sorghum liquid is wine boiled from sorghum. Have you never drank it?" Is there no sorghum wine? Li Wen didn't know, but there must be some. After eating a chicken leg, he went to Grab a chicken wing and eat it.

"I don't know if it will work, I have to try it to know."

They used to do everything in the laboratory. Li Wen watched his senior make alcohol himself, and that senior also gave him a popular science on how to make wine. matter.

But I haven't tried it, and Li Wen doesn't know if I can make it. I will know when I have time to try it. It shouldn't be difficult?

In this day and age, brewing wine without permission is not allowed by the government, but they secretly get some to drink, who can control them, right? "

"There is no need to change the day. It is better to hit the day than to choose a day. Just today. Tell me what you want, and I will get it for you." Zhao Siyi heard that the young apprentice he had accepted could even make wine, and couldn't wait to try it. Try the delicious wine that the apprentice said

When he came to this place, he had never had good wine. Everything was good in this place, but he was very troubled by the fact that he couldn't buy good wine with money.

"Now?" Li Wen raised his head and looked at his master with an expression of "Is what you said true?"

"It's now." Zhao Si told his apprentice that he wasn't joking, "Why don't you go together.

"Xiao-"

Zhao Si put two fingers in his mouth, whistled, and a big brown-red horse ran over from the other side of the mountain. Zhao Si picked up the little apprentice and threw him on the horse's back.

"Hey..." Master, let's discuss the arrangement, it's not too late to go tomorrow, right?The sun is almost going down now.Before Li Wen could resist, he was thrown onto the horse by his master. This was not the first time he had seen Lightning, and he even greeted Lightning while lying on the horse.

Lightning was a handsome red-brown stallion, his master's mount.

Li Wen still remembered that he was almost thrown off by lightning when he sat up for the first time, but luckily his master stopped him.Fortunately, after getting in touch with him a few times, the horse probably knew that he was one of his own, so he didn't reject him very much.

"Let's go and come back quickly."

"Master..." I won't be able to eat any chicken when I get back!Li Wen shouted in his heart.

"drive_"

As soon as Zhao Si clamped the horse's belly, he rode on the horse and took the little apprentice away.

"Shaan-lu-ji-" The little donkey turned his head, saw the little master being taken away, and ran a few steps behind.

The big black dog chased after him.
