The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

After working all night last night, he took a shower the next day, and Lu Xiuyuan still had to go to the palace to report.

When Shi Yunchen saw that his expression was tired, he stretched out his hand to stroke his cheek, and said in a distressed tone: "Last night was busy all night, do you want to tell His Majesty to come back and rest?"

Hold each other's finger and move it to the lips and kiss: "It's okay, I can sleep in the morning when I go there, and I will give lectures to the princes in the afternoon without delay."

Feeling the itching of his fingertips, Shi Yunchen quickly withdrew his hand.

"You are too dedicated, and His Majesty should give you more rewards."

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's only natural for you to serve the king, so I'll go out first, Ah Chen."

"Eh? Didn't you eat breakfast yet?" The other party looked at the sky and said, "If you eat faster, there is still time."

"Forget it, I'll take two fruits to eat on the way."

After he finished speaking, he went to the kitchen, and was dumbfounded when he saw a pile of moldy and rotten melons in the corner.

I haven't watched it for a few days, how did it become like this!

"Huh? Erlang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan didn't come out immediately after entering, the other party couldn't help but asked concerned: "Can't you find it? It's been so hot recently, I asked Nan Xing to put it in a corner in the shade."

No wonder it can be moldy, the kitchen is stuffy, and places like corners are not ventilated and humid, so it must be moldy quickly.

When Yunchen opened the door and came in, he saw the rotten melons in the room, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiuyuan guilty.

"Everything is rotten..."

"It's okay. The corner of the kitchen is not suitable for storing these things. Next time, just put them in a ventilated place." He went to the corner and squatted down, ready to pick out these rotten melons and throw them away.

There are dozens of melons in total, almost all of which are rotten, and the rot is worse when turned down.

This melon was the last time they saw an old woman on the road when they were shopping. The sun was shining outside, and the old woman was sitting on the side of the road guarding the basket of melons. Shi Yunchen couldn't bear to see it, so they bought them all.

As a result, he didn't like sweets, and the young master often couldn't think of eating them when he was busy, and then this melon became what it is now.

"Erlang, aren't you going out soon? Let me let Nan Xing come and clean it up." Shi Yunchen wanted him to get up.

Looking at the green and moldy melon in his hand, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly stopped.

"Achen, wait a minute..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The other party looked at him staring at a rotten melon with a puzzled expression.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the rotten melon in his hand, his eyes became brighter and brighter, why did it take him so long to remember!

"Achen! Put this melon here first and let others not touch it!"

After saying this, Lu Xiuyuan got up and ran away.

Seeing this, Shi Yunchen hurriedly chased after him: "Erlang, where are you going? Do you need me to get someone to prepare a carriage for you?"

"No, no, I want to go to the palace to find His Majesty!" His new house is very close to the palace, and he will be there in a short jog!

Seeing that his figure was about to disappear, the young master behind him reminded loudly: "You haven't washed your hands yet!"

He lowered his head and took a look. It was stained with a lot of dirty things just now, and it was too late to wash it, so he shook it vigorously twice, and then wiped his hands on the clothes at the back of the waist reflexively.

He trotted all the way into the palace, while the eunuch was going to report to Emperor Ming, he leaned on the wall and gasped for breath.

He came this time to ask Emperor Ming to grant him a period of vacation, and he wanted to try to study penicillin!

When he first came to ancient times, he did have this kind of idea, but his life was always not peaceful, and he had to support his family and study for exams, so the idea of ​​artificially cultivating penicillin has long been forgotten.

Now that he has a family and a business, he has nothing to do except teaching. Today, he happened to see a rotten melon in the corner, and the green mold on it reminded him!

When the eunuch invited him into the palace before the eunuch came out, Lu Xiuyuan pretended to be calm when he saw Emperor Ming, but his excitement was still hard to hide deep in his heart.

"I would like to take a one-month vacation at home, please allow your Majesty to approve."

"Oh?" Emperor Ming saw that his expression was flat, but the details of his body kept reminding Lu Xiuyuan that he was excited.

"Is there something wrong at Erlang's family? Why did you suddenly take a month off?"

He opened his mouth, and just wanted to pick and choose about the penicillin, but he thought that no matter how sure he was, what if he failed?

To be on the safe side, it's better to keep it secret for the time being.

"I want to test a medicine, and I will report it to His Majesty after the results come out in a month..."

"Okay, I approved it, but I asked for leave for no reason. After all, it's hard to talk about it outside. Erlang, your salary for this month will be gone."

No matter how much Emperor Ming was partial, some officials would definitely have objections if he didn't go to the early court for a month. If the salary was paid on time at that time, there would definitely be troubles again.

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that Emperor Ming agrees. The salary is a trivial matter. He was worried just now. If the other party doesn't understand, it will be bad if he doesn't approve the leave. Fortunately, Emperor Ming is more open-minded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After thanking him, he hesitated: "Then, Your Majesty, did you go back first?"

"Let's go back." Emperor Ming believed that the reason why Erlang asked for leave must be busy. Seeing that he was about to leave, he hurriedly waved him away.

After getting a one-month vacation, Lu Xiuyuan's pace of returning home was cheerful.

With enough time, he can purify it a few more times, and the penicillin produced in this way will be more effective!

After returning home, except for the second entry, the huge Lu residence was empty.

The main reason is that the four-entry house is too big. They have three masters and servants plus dozens of guards. The first two courtyards are enough!

Lu Xiuyuan thought of the Zhang family in his hometown. Now the border is peaceful, and it is very safe to have Emperor Ming in the court. When he finishes his work at hand, he can bring his family to live in the capital depending on the situation.

He wanted to take Mrs. Zhang to visit this bustling capital city, to see that there is such a vast world besides Ping'an Town!

After returning to the residence, the young master saw that he came back so quickly, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you go to the palace to look for His Majesty? Why did you come back so quickly?"

Lu Xiuyuan held back for a while, but finally he couldn't control his expression and laughed.

"I just entered the palace and applied for a month's rest with His Majesty."

"One month? What are you going to do?" Shi Yunchen really wanted to say that Emperor Ming would not approve after so long, but seeing his smile on his face, he felt uncertain.

"Did His Majesty agree?"

"That's natural~" Lu Xiuyuan folded his hands on his chest and raised his chin slightly, "As soon as I said it, His Majesty agreed."

The other party couldn't help curling his lips: "Stop embarrassing, just ran out in such a hurry and asked for another month's vacation, Erlang, what are you going to do?"

Speaking of this, he was not in the mood to chat anymore: "I plan to study something this month, I will write a list later, and you can arrange for someone to prepare everything for me."

Lu Xiuyuan first went to the kitchen and wrote down all the things that will be used in the next period of time.

The penicillium on this small pile is not enough, he needs a lot of petri dishes to make a lot of penicillium!

He wrote two sheets of paper continuously with his hands, and finally checked whether there were any omissions before handing the list to Shi Yunchen who was behind him.

"A large basket of white steamed buns? Rice that has been ground into juice with water?..." Looking down, the content below made the other party more and more surprised.

"Why do you need fifty mice?! That thing is so dirty, why are you catching it?" Yun Chen looked disgusted when he saw the end.

"For experiments, it's a long story. Be good, Ah Chen, help me prepare the items first, and I'll explain the meaning to you after I have some research results, okay?"

Lu Xiuyuan grabbed the opponent's arm and shook it gently.

"But these fifty are too many, aren't they?"

Besides, how could house mice be so easy to catch? If a few more accidentally escaped, their yard would not be peaceful.

"Hmm..." Lu Xiuyuan pinched his fingers and calculated, "The minimum is thirty, there's no way less!"

In modern experiments, mice are necessary as experimental subjects. The most important reason is that mice and humans have a high genetic similarity, and some biological experiments that cannot be done on humans can be done with mice.

It's just that he is in ancient times and can only temporarily replace it with house mice. Anyway, his experiment is only to test the toxicity of drugs, even if the genes of house mice are not similar to humans, it doesn't matter.

When Shi Yunchen took the list and went out to find Nanxing to buy things, Lu Xiuyuan himself took the broom and went to the third room to clean up the place for the next experiment.

The author has something to say: the mold on the rotten fruit is not necessarily all penicillin, it may also be patulin or other harmful toxins, which can kill bacteria but also cause damage to the body. Brother Lu, who caught the mouse, did the experiment!
