The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

The next day, Lu Xiuyuan woke up just before dawn. Last night, he rewrote the story until late at night. He couldn't go back to the cage early in the morning because of the biological clock, so he simply got up, played Wu Qinxi in the yard, and did some stretching exercises.

On an autumn morning with a bit of coolness, Lu Xiuyuan practiced the Wu Qinxi twice, and he was already sweating slightly. He wanted to finish this time and end it, but happened to meet Mrs. Zhang returning with water.

As soon as the other party entered the yard, he saw her Erlang as if possessed by a spirit, with his head hunched on his shoulders, and his hands doing strange movements like a monkey.

Breathing stagnated, the bucket in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a splash of water.

"Er Erlang?" Zhang's voice trembled, "What are you doing?"

Lu Xiuyuan, who was doing the ape mention, stopped quickly. Seeing that Zhang's face turned pale, he quickly retracted his movements.

"Doctor Xu from Ping'an Town said that I was weak, so he specially taught me a set of exercises to strengthen my body, saying that as long as I keep practicing, I can improve my physique."

Without even thinking about it, Dr. Xu was pulled out as a shield, lest Mrs. Zhang want to scare herself.

This strange movement was beyond Zhang's understanding. At that moment just now, she thought that Erlang had gone up the mountain before... Hey, hey, hey, he can't think about those unlucky ones. Since it was taught by Doctor Xu, it must be true.

Seeing that Zhang's expression improved, Lu Xiuyuan stepped forward, helped her carry the bucket on the ground, and poured it into the water tank. Fortunately, there was still half of the bucket of water left, otherwise this trip would be in vain. Their family It is far away from the entrance of the village, and it is not easy to fetch water every day.

Mrs. Zhang hadn't recovered from following behind, so Lu Xiuyuan had no choice but to demonstrate all the movements again, explaining the principles to her while doing it.

The ape play imitated just now is to improve the cardiopulmonary function and agility, what is the tiger play and bear play to exercise...

After listening, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not forget to tell Lu Xiuyuan to be careful not to be seen by the villagers in the future, lest those people spread bad rumors.

Lu Xiuyuan nodded in response, picked up the bucket on the ground, "Mom, it's still early, I'll go get another bucket."

"What kind of water are you carrying as a scholar? Go back to the house and read." Mrs. Zhang said, grabbing the bucket.

"Who said that scholars can't carry water, I want to help my family share it too." Lu Xiuyuan smiled.

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and refused, "You read a good book is the best share. Mother will cook first, and you can go back to the house to read a book and wait for dinner."

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's unwillingness to give up, Mrs. Zhang added another sentence.

"At the entrance of the village, a group of young women are fetching water. Are you sure you want to go?"

Well, it's not convenient for him to go there, but it's not easy for Mrs. Zhang to run around fetching water every day. He couldn't help but think of the bamboo forest to the west, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.

After breakfast, he put all kinds of props in the bamboo basket, and when Mrs. Zhang was not paying attention, he went out again with his back on his back.

This time he went to the bamboo forest, he always paid attention to the surrounding terrain. In previous years, there was a lot of rain, and the mountain spring would flow past their house.

It didn't take too much time for him to find small streams of water gushing out from the cracks in the stone wall above the bamboo forest, infiltrating and spreading around.

It was much closer than he had imagined, which made him feel much lighter.

However, since the water flows in the crevices of the rocks, it is not convenient to use bamboo to fetch water directly, so he had to clean it up below, and built a pool with stones and mud.

When the pond was storing water, he took a hatchet and chopped a few bamboos of moderate thickness, cleaned up the small branches, and cut off one-third of the surface of each bamboo joint that was blocked, and opened up all the middle.

When the pool is full of water, put the treated bamboo in the middle of the pool, and he crosses the water inlet with dry branches to block part of it, so as to prevent some snakes on the mountain, or other strange things from swimming to them along the water flow Home.

After finishing these, it was already noon, and Lu Xiuyuan was already hungry, but he didn't stop chopping the bamboo in his hands. He wanted to finish the water diversion bamboo pipe today.

After handling a few more bamboos in this way, he silently estimated that if he continued to work, he would suffer hypoglycemia, then he stopped, took a rest, and went home to find something to eat.

Mrs. Zhang and his sister-in-law took Xiaolian to go shopping in the town, and Lu Dafu was the only one left at home. When his father saw Lu Xiuyuan coming back dirty, he asked nervously what happened.

After explaining a few words casually, he went to the kitchen to dig out the leftovers from the morning, warmed them up, and devoured them hungrily.

Now that the family has money, Mrs. Zhang is willing to put more food in cooking.After eating a bowl of hot porridge with a few pancakes, the feeling of fullness is quite strong.

After eating, go back to the room and take a nap, and go up the mountain again full of energy.

The bamboos that had been processed in the morning were spliced ​​for dozens of meters in one go, and then they continued to repeat the previous work, and finally connected the bamboo pipes to their door before sunset.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang in the yard was rushing to make winter clothes. He heard the sound of rushing water outside the yard, and didn't pay attention. After hearing Lu Xiuyuan's voice, he hurriedly put down the clothes in his hand and went outside.

After seeing the flowing water from the bamboo tube at the gate, I was so surprised that I hurried back to the house and called my sister-in-law Xiaolian to come and watch.

Inside the emerald green bamboo tube, the sweet mountain spring water is gurgling out and falling into the small ditch next to it.

As a child, Xiao Lian was very excited when she saw the water. She ran over to pat the water and couldn't stop playing. Mrs. Zhang and his sister-in-law stood at the door and laughed happily. water.

After solving the water problem, everyone felt a lot more relaxed, and Xiao Lian's admiration for her uncle was even higher.

A few days went by like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to submit the manuscript. In addition to rewriting the two scripts requested by Master Shi, Lu Xiuyuan also wrote a few short stories by himself.

There is an illusory story about a fox fairy. A poor scholar studied hard for ten years and read at night by candlelight. He actually attracted a fox fairy who had practiced in the mountains for a thousand years to help him.

There are also husbands who have been framed, and the elder brother has nowhere to ask for help. He takes the imperial examination incognito. He wanted to find a potential stock among the candidates to win over and help him when the other party is in high school. Get the first prize, get the champion!In the end, history was changed and he became the first elder brother to be an official, and his husband was wronged.

……

The stories are all imperial examinations, and the most audiences are also scholars, who are Tian Shelang in the morning and Tianzitang in the evening.Poor people who read good books can become high-ranking officials in one fell swoop, and change their families from then on, let alone other people.

In addition to the main story line, Lu Xiuyuan also added multiple branch plots, and the development direction is all in accordance with the routine of the cool text, how to do it in a high-spirited way, and the things that cannot be done in reality are all satisfied in the storybook.

When the manuscript is delivered tomorrow, I will carefully observe the young master's reaction to see which one he prefers, and I will write according to which one in the future.

Now the young master is just a big fat sheep in his eyes, he has to win over and match what he likes, and first maintain this relationship, so that the water can flow for a long time, and it will be convenient for him to gather more wool in the future.
