The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

When the family saw that Lu Xiuyuan was seriously preparing for the exam, he didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing him, and even Xiao Lian became quieter.

For breakfast, Lu Xiuyuan drank a bowl of hot soup and ate a piece of pancake. The money came back, and Mrs. Zhang was willing to use noodles for cooking. He was satisfied with what he ate.

After eating, Lu Xiuyuan didn't waste too much time at home. He took the two big cakes that Mrs. Zhang baked for him, stuffed them into his backpack, and set off for the town.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back and stopped her, "Erlang, can you swallow dry pancakes? Mother will bring you some pickles and scrambled eggs for dinner?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan smiled helplessly: "Mom, this is reading in a bookstore. If you have free time in the afternoon, just eat a few bites of cakes to deal with it. Bring the vegetables over there. How can you look like you are studying?"

Mrs. Zhang thought it was the same, sighed, and wiped her hands on the apron with cramped hands, "Erlang, you have suffered too much, no, mother is going to buy some good dishes at noon, and I will make up for you when I come back."

"Even if you have to endure hardships, you will become a master. Mother, you don't have to worry too much. If you don't study hard for ten years, how can you get a gold medal later?" Lu Xiuyuan said.

"Mother doesn't care, whoever said that life is difficult can be named on the gold list, and it's okay to eat well. Erlang, you should go to study hard, and when you get home, mother will get you more delicious food." After finishing speaking, accompany Lu Xiuyuan together Go to the entrance of the village to drive the ox cart.

The wind was cold and the cold was overwhelming, Lu Xiuyuan shrank and wrapped his clothes tightly around his body.

The end of the year is approaching, and although it is cold in the town, more and more people come out to shop. The common people have worked hard for three seasons, and the time approaching the New Year is a rare time for them to relax.

Walking on the street, Lu Xiuyuan saw other people's families, old and young, coming out to play, and he felt yearning in his heart. He must work hard and make more money, so that his family can play freely like this in the future.

When we arrived at the book shop, it was still very early, and there was only shopkeeper Lin in the shop, and Shi Yunzhang was not in sight.

Shopkeeper Lin heard footsteps, raised his head to see Lu Xiuyuan, and hurriedly greeted, "Lu Xiucai, are you here? This way please..."

After finishing speaking, he led him to a small private room that Yun Chen had been to when he was waiting.

"All the masters of the book have brought them here. Lu Xiucai can just read it here. If he is thirsty, ask the servants outside to make tea."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't expect Shi Yunzhang to be so considerate, so he can definitely sit here for a whole day, which is equivalent to a modern library.

He quickly thanked him, and then blew Shi Yunzhang's rainbow fart on Shopkeeper Lin.

In the end, shopkeeper Lin denied it: "The big boss just borrowed the book, and it was the little boss's intention to invite Lu Xiucai to come here to read it."

It turned out to be Shi Yunchen?Lu Xiuyuan didn't expect the other party to be so kind?

Thinking of this, he reacted belatedly, as if he hadn't seen Shi Yunchen for a while, and he didn't know what he was up to recently?

Shopkeeper Lin explained what he needed to say, afraid of disturbing Lu Xiuyuan's study, he said something to do, and left.

Lu Xiuyuan put down his rucksack, straightened his clothes, and came to the desk beside him.

The table is a typical flat-top table, with two straight sides and no decoration at the ends, and an armchair is placed beside it.

The position of the tables and chairs is a bit abrupt from the overall layout of the room, and it can be seen that they were added temporarily. Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and smiled, unexpectedly, this young master is quite caring?

It's just that I don't know why the other party takes such good care of me. Is it because I like the script I wrote?

After taking off his clothes, Lu Xiuyuan sat down on the chair and opened the books on the table, starting with "University", then "The Analects", "Mencius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean".

There is also a reason for the arrangement order of the Annotations of the Four Books. The purpose is: first read "University" to determine its scale; secondly read "Analects" to establish its foundation; "The Doctrine of the Mean" seeks the subtleties of the ancients.

Lu Xiuyuan was going to read it roughly first to deepen his impression.

Although he has memories of the original owner, they are all in the depths of his consciousness, and they need specific words to trigger them. For example, he needs to see the words "the way of the university lies in clear virtue." Only then can he think of "the purpose of the university is to carry forward the virtues of being upright and upright." ."the meaning of.

This is actually a bit tasteless, and if you don’t review it, you will easily forget it after a long time, and you will never remember it again.

He read it roughly now, combined with the understanding of the Central Plains Master in his memory, and added Zhu Xi's annotations in the book, to sum up his own thoughts, which is also the most efficient.

Good at reading, don't ask for deep understanding, look at the general situation, pursue a blog, understand everything, and when you finally enter the examination room, no matter what questions you encounter, you will not be biased in your decision-making.

Just like that, Lu Xiuyuan hugged the book and devoted himself to it. Seeing that he was hungry and his body couldn't hold on, he paused for a while and went to the side to get the big cake that Mrs. Zhang baked for him, and continued to eat while eating. look.

Mrs. Zhang made bread today, and her mouth felt a little sour after eating it. There was no tea to help with the meal, and she had to chew dryly for a long time before she could barely swallow it.

But at this time, Lu Xiuyuan didn't care at all. His consciousness had been deeply immersed in the book, and he couldn't extricate himself. He didn't even notice when there were more people in the room.

Lu Xiuyuan was so fascinated by the sight that the big pancake in his hand had already been eaten, and he didn't realize it until he unconsciously wanted to take another bite of the pancake, but accidentally bit the finger holding the pancake.

"Hiss", the sharp pain from his finger woke him up instantly.

"Hahahahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter in my ears.

Lu Xiuyuan was a little dazed, turned his head to look over, and found that Shi Yunchen was pointing at himself, hugging his stomach and laughing wildly.

"Lu Xiucai, why are you so fascinated by reading? You didn't even notice that the cake was gone, and you were still biting your fingers!"

Only then did Lu Xiuyuan come to his senses. He glanced at his thumb and saw that he had been bitten with a deep tooth mark, but luckily it didn't break through.

When Shi Yunchen saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "No wonder people say that scholars are nerds. I think you, Lu Xiucai, are almost nerds."

Thinking that the other party lent the room to him, it was nothing to be laughed at twice, he put down the book in his hand, got up and thanked Shi Yunchen: "Thank you, Master Shi, for lending this room to Lu, it is really convenient. "

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's seriousness, Shi Yunchen was embarrassed to laugh again, cleared his throat quickly, and explained casually: "You don't need to thank me, I'm afraid that you won't pay attention while reading outside, and waste my big brother's precious book for nothing! That's why I let you come here to watch, the person you should thank is my elder brother."

"Boss Shi and Master Shi's help, Lu always remembers in his heart..."

"Oh, why are you talking so much nonsense." Shi Yunchen interrupted impatiently, "What are you thanking for, and continue reading your book quickly, if you can really come back with a champion, that would be the best for my elder brother return."

Lu Xiuyuan was not angry when he was interrupted. Thinking of what the other party said, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "It seems a bit difficult to be the champion, Lu should try the country first and then talk about it."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiuyuan took out another big biscuit from his luggage, and continued to read while eating, and soon his thoughts fell into the book again.

Because the noodle cake was made of rough noodles, it looked rather gray, with flour residues on it, and it looked a bit miserable to be eaten by Lu Xiuyuan like this.

When Shi Yunchen looked at the scene in front of him, he felt an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart. He couldn't stay any longer, so he simply left the room quietly.

It wasn't until evening that Lu Xiuyuan stopped. He marked the book with a bookmark and put it on the table. Only then did he notice that Shi Yunchen was gone long ago, and at some point there was a plate of snacks beside the table. And a cup of tea.

He touched the cup with his hand, the tea wall was icy cold, and the color of the tea inside was thick and deep when he opened the tea lid, it was obvious that it had been left for too long.

Lu Xiuyuan was hungry and thirsty now, so he ate a few pieces of snacks with the cold tea, filled his stomach slightly, and then got up to thank shopkeeper Lin and take his leave.

After leaving the gate of the bookstore, Lu Xiuyuan felt a little weak in his body and his footsteps were a little weak as he watched the sunset in the distance.

Without much hesitation, he quickly found a small noodle stall nearby, asked the boss to order a bowl of noodles, and ordered two more bowls of soup to drink, and then he recovered.

Lu Xiuyuan's original intention was to save a little, take a little lunch with him at noon, and then go home for dinner in the afternoon, but judging by today's situation, he won't be able to make it home, and reading consumes a lot, so bringing two large pancakes at noon is not enough.

Learn the lesson, improve the plan, and bring two more cakes next time, which will be enough for lunch, and he is more absorbed in reading, so he can't go out to ask the boy for water, so he just brings a water hyacinth here.

After eating the noodles, he went home in an ox cart. When he got home, Mrs. Zhang made him a radish soup with fried eggs.

Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, don't bother to prescribe medicine.

The radish soup, as the best tonic in the cheap, was stewed into a milky white color by Zhang, with two pieces of yellow fried eggs floating on it. After coming back from such a cold outside, I drank the soup water, and the whole body Everyone is very comfortable.

After dinner, it was getting late at night, and Lu Xiuyuan didn't read by candle at night. The reason was not only wasting oil, but also because the light was too dark and it was not good for the eyes.

So he climbed into bed after washing up early, lay in bed, reviewed what he had learned during the day, and gradually fell asleep without knowing it.

Before dawn the next day, he continued to get up to exercise before practicing calligraphy. After dinner this time, he brought two extra pancakes. Mrs. Zhang felt sorry for him and stuffed him with two boiled eggs in his luggage.

Continuing to come to the bookstore early in the morning, Lu Xiuyuan had just entered the room and found that there was already someone inside, when Yun Chen was crouching in the chair holding the story book.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the other party raised his eyes and looked over, "It's so early Lu Xiucai, my young master reading here won't disturb you, right?"

"Of course not, Master Shi is free to do as he pleases." After all, it's someone else's shop, so he can look at it wherever he wants, as long as it doesn't make too much noise, he can accept it.

After finishing speaking, he put down his luggage, opened the book, and continued to read the part he saw yesterday.

Unknowingly, it was noon, and Lu Xiuyuan had just taken out a big biscuit and ate two bites when he smelled a tantalizing fragrance from the next room.

In addition to smelling stewed chicken soup, he also smelled stewed meat and deep-fried oil.

Swallowing, trying to stabilize his mind, but ever since he smelled the fragrance from the next room and looked at the big cake in his hand, he couldn't swallow it for some reason.

Damn it, who is cooking and eating in this holy place for studying? ?Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

Just when he was slandering, Shi Yunchen who was reading the story book next to him suddenly closed the book with a snap, and said to himself: "Before I knew it, it was already noon, and my young master happened to be hungry too."

Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and looked over, and saw a certain young master closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Old hen soup, sauced pig's trotters, deep-fried belly kernels, steamed sea bass... huh?" Shi Yunchen felt something was wrong, and opened his eyes with some doubts. Eyes, "How did you cook so many dishes today? This young master can't finish it!"

Seeing that Yun Chen was about to look towards him, Lu Xiuyuan quickly turned his head and shifted his gaze to the book, and just after reading two words, he heard a sentence full of temptation and an extreme test of self-control .

"My young master can't finish it all by himself, and the rest will be wasted. How about Lu Xiucai come over and eat together?"

listen!The temptation from delicious food!How strong!

Lu Xiuyuan wanted to refuse, but his stomach wouldn't allow it. Ever since he smelled the fragrance, he was no longer interested in the pancake in his hand.

Just as he was still hesitating and struggling in his heart, Shi Yunchen came over and tugged, "Since when has Lu Xiucai become such a mother-in-law? Isn't it just a meal? How can this young master kill you?"

Then he was dragged to the next room to sit down. Seeing the rich dishes in front of him, Lu Xiuyuan didn't dare to say a word of thanks, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, his saliva would flow down!

Except for the public chopsticks, there happened to be two sets of tableware on the dinner table, which made him wonder if this was premeditated!

But in front of the delicious food, he can't control so much anymore. After seeing Shi Yunchen moving his chopsticks, he couldn't wait to pick up the bowl in front of him and start to set down the chopsticks.

Today's staple food is rice, the rice in the bowl is crystal clear, one grain after another, full of fragrance.

With such delicious rice, he can finish three bowls without eating vegetables!

After eating two mouthfuls of rice, Lu Xiuyuan looked at so many delicacies on the table. He didn't eat those oily ones, but picked a plate of small green vegetables and the steamed fish and ate two bowls of rice.

Shouldn't meat come first?Seeing the situation in front of him, Yun Chen was a little puzzled, "Won't Lu Xiucai try this sauced pig's trotters and fried belly kernels? This is our chef's signature dish."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan swallowed the food in his mouth and replied: "Lu usually eats a vegetarian diet, if he suddenly eats something too greasy, he might have a stomachache."

"So that's how it is." Shi Yunchen pouted, and put down the rice in his hand a little bored.

Just now when he saw Lu Xiuyuan holding a book and studying in a serious manner, he was thinking, if he saw sauced pig's trotters while eating, would someone throw away his image and put his hands on the pig's trotters like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food.

The result disappointed him greatly. Even if he was very hungry, someone would eat slowly, which was inexplicable, which made him feel less fulfilled.

Shi Yunchen put down the chopsticks in his hand, said that he was full, then retreated to the back of the chair, nestled aside and waited for Lu Xiuyuan to finish eating.

After Lu Xiuyuan ate the third bowl of rice, he was almost [-]% full. He originally planned to eat less, so he ate [-]% full, but the food was too delicious to hold back.

Putting down his chopsticks, Lu Xiuyuan took the bowl of chicken soup next to him, blew on the hot air on the surface, and drank it in small sips.

This was the most delicious meal he had eaten since time travelling. He felt full of joy all over his body, as expected, he was the happiest when eating delicious food!

After lunch, Shi Yunchen was sleepy, said excuse me and disappeared.

Lu Xiuyuan was also a little sleepy. He was [-]% full after eating, but after soaking in the bowl of chicken soup, he became very full. His blood was all concentrated in his stomach, and his brain was running slowly.

I couldn't get my heart out of reading like this, so I just went back to the desk and squinted for a while.

After about a stick of incense, Lu Xiuyuan opened his eyes.

Now there is no such feeling of fullness in his stomach. He moved his body a little on the spot, stretched his limbs, and went out for a walk in the backyard twice. The drowsiness disappeared without a trace when he was blown by the cold wind outside. Looking at the bare tree trunks in the distance, I went back to the house and continued to read.

It went on like this for a while, during which Yunchen would invite him to have lunch every day at noon. Lu Xiuyuan didn't quite understand what the other party's intentions were, but the chef who cooks in different ways every day always made him say no. words of refusal.

Later, he simply gave up struggling, and when it was time for dinner, Yun Chen invited him, so he took the initiative to sit at the dinner table.

He is a poor, tinkling little scholar, and there is no profit for him, so what's the use of thinking so much, it's better to study hard and try to pass the exam once.

The author has something to say: Shi Yunchen: The only purpose of my young master inviting you to eat delicious food is to see you get embarrassed, to see you put aside your image, and attack the pig's trotters like a hungry tiger.

Lu Xiuyuan: No!What are pig's trotters?I, Lu, can only do something to Master Shi!

Cultivate and cultivate feelings first, and then make breakthroughs. I never thought it would take so long QAQ

But there is one more tonight! (kimbo
