The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Before dawn the next morning, Lu Xiuyuan went to the Hanlin Academy with his basket for the exam.

Because it was too early, walking on the street, except for a few breakfast sellers frying deep-fried dough sticks, there were hardly any people to be seen.

When he entered the gate of the yard, the sky was only slightly bright. Taking advantage of the lack of people, he was the first to sign in, and then took his big bag of things to the previous grocery store.

The room was in the far corner, where sundries were usually placed, and there was usually no one to clean it up. There was a lot of dust in the room. When he opened the door, Lu Xiuyuan choked on the dust on the door frame and sneezed a few times.

Putting the test basket on the ground, he quickly took out a homemade mask from his arms and hung it on his ears. With those layers of protection, he could breathe normally.

It's still early outside now, so Lu Xiuyuan lit a candle, then took out the clear water in the basket and sprinkled it around the bookcase to let the water absorb the dust, and after it settled down, he started cleaning around the cabinet to prevent When spraying water mist on the books for a while, don't take a breath of dust.

After finishing the basic treatment, he sat down on the floor after the dust that had just stirred up in the room calmed down, and slowly opened the huge copper cabinet.

The books inside are still the same as the ones I saw yesterday. Judging by the thickness, I don’t know if I can finish copying them quickly today.

Find the gourd filled with calcium hydroxide in the basket at the back, shake it slightly and pour it into a large bamboo tube, then place two thin bamboo tubes on the books on the surface and start blowing.

Calcium hydroxide solution with a concentration of about [-]% was lightly sprayed on the surface of the paper document that had been stored for thousands of years, giving the words on it a field acid baptism.

Taking advantage of the time before the reaction was over, he took out a pen and paper on the top of the test basket, and began to record the first side of Li Bai's "Pity the Bottle Empty".

"Pity the Vase" is also known as "Will Enter the Wine", which is different from what he saw in the textbooks of later generations. This is an original work of Li Bai that has not been edited and revised.

Sometimes the poems learned by later generations are somewhat different from the original author. The most obvious one is the enlightenment poem "Quiet Night Thoughts" when I was a child.

Before the Song edition: Looking at the moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground.Looking up at the mountains and the moon, bowing your head and thinking about your hometown.

In order to make poetry more universal, later generations absorbed the directors of various editions, and only then did the modern "Thinking of a Quiet Night" come into being.

However, the newly unearthed Xizunkong in front of him must be the original version that cannot escape. During the process of transcribing, Lu Xiuyuan also found a big difference with the version he learned later.

Some arrogant and uninhibited tones have been changed and modified into a teaching version that is easy to sing.

However, he was in a hurry and didn't think carefully about the meaning of the word. After carefully copying it down, he sprayed another layer of heavy calcium carbonate carefully.

After the second layer of paper was dry, he used a thin, flat bamboo stick to gently pick and turn the page.

The paper that has been neutralized by a weak base is no longer broken into pieces when touched lightly, as it was yesterday.

Seeing that An An had turned a page, Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly sprayed water on the two pages in front of him for the first time.

Just like this, he didn't even eat a good lunch, so he took a few snacks from the basket and stuffed them into his mouth to replenish some energy, and then continued to work hard.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and he was finally allowed to sort out all the materials before dark.

Turning the book back to the front page, he threw all the things he brought over in the morning into the test basket, and after confirming that the room had returned to its original state, Lu Xiuyuan blew out the candle in front of him.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness. He put away the candles according to the position he remembered, and then left the grocery store with the test basket.

The sun had already set outside, and I looked out to the courtyard along the corridor. Everyone was off work now, and the courtyard was quiet, and the corners were gradually shrouded in night.

Without a doubt, he was the last one to get off work again today.

After checking his name on the registration book, Lu Xiuyuan left the Hanlin Academy after checking it again.

Back at the Wu Mansion, their small courtyard was empty, and Ah Chen and Nan Xing were not there. Guessing that Yan Ruyu was probably busy there, he simply put down his things, cleaned himself of the dust, changed his clothes and went to the West Market to find someone.

Chang'an West Market is the most prosperous and lively street in the capital city. It gathers the special food, drink and entertainment from all over the country. You can find the representative food characteristics in all the provinces and cities in the West Market. The degree of excitement here can be seen .

Lu Xiuyuan was walking on the road, and all he could hear were people around discussing about Yan Ruyu's discount. The Imperial Academy was busy these two days, so he didn't come to Xishi much. Now he heard ordinary passers-by discussing about the bookstore. This heart is completely let go.

When he came to the innermost side of the West Market, he saw that the usual long queue had disappeared. Occasionally, one or two people would come by the door, and after walking into the lobby for a few short breaths, he shook his head and left.

This situation...

Lu Xiuyuan had a guess in his heart, he quickly walked into the lobby, nodded to greet the shop assistants, and came to the library in the backyard where the books were stored.

Sure enough, he saw Shi Yunchen and Nan Xing, who were frowning, and the empty library inside.

"A Chen!"

Lu Xiuyuan walked over and sat down beside Shi Yunchen.

Seeing him coming, the other party breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time looked a little irritable.

"The books are all sold out. It stands to reason that even if the sales are hot, they can last for a day, but..."

"But some people are too immoral, my lord!" Nan Xing, who was next to him, took the conversation and complained with an aggrieved face.

"Those people not only buy it for themselves! They also send it out. Once these people buy a large pile, that's fine. There are even many people who buy it here and sell it wholesale to other places outside the capital!"

"At that time, I was doing promotional activities, and I forgot to set a purchase limit, but now they are all sold out in one day. What will I do in the next few days!"

Hearing Nan Xing's series of accusations, Lu Xiuyuan laughed.

"We just need to sell the books and make money. We don't need to care too much about whether the book buyers read it themselves or resell it elsewhere. After all, those people also have to eat, so they are helping Yan Ruyu to promote us."

After comforting the two of them, they made plans for their future development.

Nan Xing felt that the sales of bookstores were so hot now, that a second store must be launched in due course, and that more stores would sell books to make more money.

Shi Yunchen knew Lu Xiuyuan's future plans, so he didn't plan to open a branch store. Now that the books were sold out and he had a rest, he was about to start preparing newspapers.

Right now, the library has been sold out, and it is useless for them to stay here any longer, so they just go home and have dinner while finalizing the details of the newspaper.

Back in their small courtyard, the two of them had a simple dinner, and Shi Yunchen couldn't wait to drag Lu Xiuyuan to the next study.

"Erlang, how do you plan to arrange that newspaper? You repeat it again and I'll write it down."

Seeing that the other party was ready to go with a brush and ink, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Could it be that the other party plans to create the prototype of the newspaper now?What about him tonight? ?

Lu Xiuyuan suddenly raised his forehead, his brows were tightly wrinkled and his eyes narrowed.

"Achen, my eyes are a little uncomfortable, please blow it for me."

"Ok?"

The other party came over without noticing, and gently blew his eyes.

"Why are your eyes so red?" Yun Chen came to his senses when he finished speaking, "Yes, I almost forgot, you were busy all day when you went out today."

After helping him to finish blowing his eyes, the other party blamed himself: "I blame me for forgetting about this matter. Don't worry about the newspaper matter. Let's arrange it in two days."

Speaking of this, Shi Yunchen washed the pen and put it back to its original position.

Seeing that the young master no longer plans to work all night tonight, he was relieved, and the moment the other party finished putting down the pen and turned around, he hugged him in his arms and called out in a sticky tone.

"Achen..."

Being embraced from behind, and hearing his name again, Shi Yunchen turned his head slightly.

"What's wrong with Erlang? Are you too tired?"

Lu Xiuyuan buried his head on the other party's neck and took a deep breath, and said in a vague tone, "I'm going to receive the reward I mentioned yesterday."

"What reward..."

Yun Chen didn't realize it at first, but when Lu Xiuyuan's gentle kiss went all the way from the shoulder to the side of the ear, the other party realized the true meaning of this reward after a while.

"...Don't, you're still in the study now."

Shi Yunchen shrugged uncomfortably, avoiding the kiss on the ear.

After the kiss was empty, Lu Xiuyuan chased his chin to close the earlobe again, grinding his teeth twice.

Feeling the heat in his ears, the young master only felt his feet go soft, and his whole body became strange again.

"No, Nan Xing will come to deliver water soon..."

The remaining rationality kept reminding Shi Yunchen that he couldn't be so indulgent in the study.

Southern Star Southern Star Southern Star, Southern Star again!

Lu Xiuyuan let go of the other party's earlobe, which had been worn out to a small depression, and kissed him again on the Adam's apple.

"I've locked the door, Nan Xing can't come in."

Um?Shi Yunchen didn't expect Erlang to make preparations ahead of time.

It is estimated that it will be posted tonight, but the venue is in the study, so it is too shameful.

"Erlang, go back to the bedroom..."

The other party pushed Lu Xiuyuan's chest to persuade him.

But this time, Lu Xiuyuan has already entered the state, so how can he change the venue?

He straightened the opponent's body, and then took off the arm that had been pushing him and circled it behind him, and the two of them were facing each other.

"It's okay, there's a reclining chair here, I'll have to work hard for a while, Ah Chen will be wronged..."

The two were close together, and any changes in the other's body could be felt very clearly. Shi Yunchen was poked twice through the clothes, and his whole body softened completely.

"Erlang..."

With a soft murmur, the other party didn't care about the venue anymore.

The two communicated intimately for a while, and Lu Xiuyuan felt that it was almost done, so he put his arms around him and came to the reclining chair behind the screen.

It was a chair made of solid bamboo and rattan wood. Under the four pillars where the chair meets the ground, two curved feet were reinforced with mortise and tenon.

Usually when he was tired from reading, he would lie on this chair and shake for a while, lying down to rest.

Now for doing that kind of thing, the chair space must be a bit small, so I just supported Shi Yunchen to sit on it.

"Erlang?" The other party sat down on the recliner, but still didn't understand what it meant.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't explain, but silently took the person to lie down, held the other person's face with his left hand and kissed him carefully, and began to undo the girdle with his right hand where he couldn't see it.

After the two of them had nothing to hide, he covered them up.

The recliner was subjected to too much external force, it creaked first, and then began to shake back and forth.

Feeling that the recliner under him seemed overwhelmed, the young master became worried.

"Erlang, wait a minute, this recliner may not be able to bear the weight of the two of us..."

Before Lu Xiuyuan started to do anything, he was interrupted by the other party one after another, but thinking that what the other party said might indeed happen, he simply held the handles on both sides and lay down on the reclining chair.

"Okay, don't talk, you have to concentrate on doing big things."

He could do the rest of the process with his eyes closed, patiently doing all the movements, and when the other party was ready, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't wait to start a sport that would make both of them very happy.

The recliner began to creak and shake.

The young master was lying on the recliner, shaking back and forth with his strength, this feeling of floating and nowhere to land made him very insecure, the other party could only hold his arm tightly.

"Erlang, it's too fast, please slow down."

His arms were tightly held, and Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help hissing.

"Achen, it hurts a little from your hand..."

After hearing this, the other party's already red cheeks became even redder now, and he let go of his hand in embarrassment, shaking with the swing of the reclining chair again.

Lu Xiuyuan knew that Ah Chen was lying on the chair now, and the two of them had nothing to hold on to each other except for that point of connection.

He simply let go of the armrests on both sides, put his hands through the bends of the opponent's legs, held his shoulders tightly, and leaned over his face to kiss heavily.

"Achen, don't be afraid, I'll just hug you."

Lu Xiuyuan moved his center of gravity upwards, and tightly controlled Shi Yunchen's body. Although the opponent's movements were more open, there was no need to worry that the reclining chair would roll over if it was too wide.

It's just that the other party still seems a little dissatisfied this time.

"Erlang, this won't work..."

Lu Xiuyuan is now at the top, he circled the person between the reclining chair and his body, then his lower body stood still, and his arms made the chair shake vigorously.

The young master's legs were placed on his shoulders, and he could only let Lu Xiuyuan in and out helplessly following the rocking of the recliner back and forth.

"Too..."

Lu Xiuyuan tried a few times, and seeing that the other party really didn't like it, he guessed that the reclining chair might be too mechanical and the speed was slow, so he simply picked him up, and the two sat on the wooden floor.

The sudden change of position made the young master cry out.

He moved his face closer to kiss the person, and began to let the other person test the results of the waist training he had done before.
