Embracing the ancient times with roses

Others are making a fuss, and Li Xiu and his wife are free. After they handed over the garlic to Chu Batian, they didn't care about it. They spent the rest of their time at home with their children preparing for the exam. Li Xiu finally passed the exam. Parents who accompany the exam hinted that during this period, they adjusted their children every day, fearing that the children's nutrition would not be able to keep up.

Accompanying the two older ones, I did not forget the two younger ones. Lixiu saw that his little brother likes to play with sculptures. When he was free, he made a lot of modern toys for Chu Junyu’s children, such as small bicycles, scooters, I haven't forgotten to make some building blocks for the child. The most fulfilling thing for him is to teach the child to sing, dance, and draw. Of course, the paintings are all stick figures, but the children like them very much.

He also made a lot of bright crayons for the children. Not only did Chu Junyu like these crayons, but even Chu Junhan liked them. Every time Lixiu taught Chu Junyu to draw, he would follow and watch them, and then draw them. Every time Chu Junyu's things are better than Chu Junyu's, every time Chu Junyu's children like this will drop golden beans.

When Lixiu saw Chu Junyu crying, he would clean up Chu Junhan, but when he saw how cute the child was, he couldn't do it anymore, and then he rolled his eyes angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, next time If you dare to make brother cry, see how I deal with you."

Chu Junhan was also very wronged. When he saw his younger brother crying, he also felt distressed, but he didn't want him to do this. Who made him born with a photographic memory. Ah Mo's paintings, as long as he learns them once, he will learn them all. So he will complain to Da Zhuang and sue.

As soon as Da Zhuang heard it, he would smile and say: "It's okay, you are just trying to scare you. You are almost seven years old. When did he really hit you, you can just let my brother. After all, he is a little brother." Son, we are going to be upright men in the future, what are we going to do with a little brother."

When Tong Xiaobao saw him, he would say: "You, don't forget to eat or play. Next time you see Ah Ma teaching Yu'er how to draw, you'll just take a good look at it. When you turn around, you can finish the painting by yourself in the study, and don't let him see it behind your back." When it arrives, he won't cry anymore, and after getting it to Ah Mo, let Ah Mo comment on it."

Chu Junhan heard it, "Well, that's the only way to do it now, but Yu'er is always clinging, so I have no chance." After speaking, he scratched his head.

Tong Xiaobao laughed angrily at his appearance: "You said you wouldn't fetch him after he fell asleep. I really don't know where your cleverness has gone."

When Tong Rui heard this, "Yes, let's do it like this. By the way, you're the smartest brother."

Tong Xiaobao said proudly: "Now you admit that I am smarter than you, but I still have to think about you."

. . . . . .

So in the following days, Chu Junyu's children cried less, and Lixiu felt relieved. This kind of life continued until the hospital examination, and Lixiu started to work for the two children early this morning, and then took them early. Came to the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute in Qingcheng Mansion.

After getting out of the car, under the envious eyes of everyone, there are not many children as young as their family who are admitted to the Tongsheng. Look at the Tongsheng who are preparing for the exam around the age of 12 and above. Ask them There really isn't a home this small.

He looked down at the two brothers and couldn't help but feel relieved, especially his family Tong Rui. This child is so young, he just passed the child's birth test. I don't know how the talent test will be this time?Moreover, he had to take the exam for two days in a row. He was afraid that Tong Rui would not be able to take care of himself, so he was worried.

When Tong Rui saw his Ah Mo like this, he couldn't help comforting Ah Mo: "It's okay, Ah Mo, you just wait at home for me to give you the first exam (No.1) and come back. Make me a big table of delicious food in the house and wait for me and my eldest brother."

Lixiu touched Tong Rui's head, turned around and kissed the eldest son: "Xiaobao, remember to take the test well, when you come back, I will make you your favorite fruit ice first, this time you must take the test Forget younger brother, save him from showing off in front of you."

After all, Tong Xiaobao is only ten years old. No matter how he pretends to be an adult, he is still a child. Facing the temptation of delicious food, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam this time."

The little friend Chu Junyu ran over, hugged Tong Xiaobao's leg and said, "Come on big brother, you must beat second brother and avenge Yu'er." Chu Junyu always kept Tong Rui in mind when he always bullied him.

Tong Xiaobao was amused when he heard it: "Okay, listen to what Ah Mo said at home, I will definitely pass Xiaobao's exam, let him be proud, then we two will join forces to defeat him."

Tong Rui couldn't help but smiled and said, "If you defeat my lord, I'll be ashamed to see Jiang Dong's elders. I have nothing to do last night. I'm going to take the exam again."After reading it twice, I have already imprinted it in my heart. If you want to defeat me, big brother, I am afraid it will be difficult. '

Of course Tong Xiaobao didn't know what his younger brother was thinking. Under the eyes of the remaining family of three, he entered the Imperial Examination Institute of Qingcheng Prefecture for this exam. He carried his old and used baskets in, waved his hands at the door, and left.

When the gate of the Academy of Sciences was slowly closed, Da Zhuang held Li Xiu's hand and said, "It's okay, go back, I'll let Chu Er guard here for the past few days, and come out when the exam is over tomorrow night." It's okay, let's come again when the time comes, it's okay, our two children will be able to live."

Li Xiu nodded: "Yeah, I'm sure I can pass them all. I'm afraid that Tong Rui of our family has to do better than Xiaobao in the exam this time. Didn't you see that Tong Rui was so excited? It seems There are ten layers of confidence."

Da Zhuang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how many he takes the exam, he will be a scholar. I have never been a child student in my life, just give me some face. There are not many child students in our village. If I am a real student this time That's right, those are the first two scholars in the village, and when the time comes, our family will invite the clansmen to have a good meal."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you pass it."

Chu Junyu glanced at his auntie and auntie from the other side and said, "I hope the eldest brother will do better in the exam than the second brother, and avenge Yu'er."

After seeing it, Da Zhuang and Li Xiu said with a smile: "This kid really holds grudges, isn't it because the second brother draws better than you, this time I go back and practice more, can I compare him?"

After Chu Junyu heard this, he nodded very vigorously and said, "Well, I listen to what you said, beat the second brother, and draw better than him."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Well, my son has ambition, and that's how it should be. Is this a good son for Dad?"

When Da Zhuang saw the interaction between the two, he smiled and shook his head. Li Xiu encouraged the children to compete, which is really interesting!

. . . . . .

Tianyao's imperial examinations are very similar to ancient my country's. They all have to pass the main test first, and then a re-examination.

On the evening of the first day, Li Xiu and Da Zhuang came to the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute. If the students who failed the exam in the first round would be kicked out, Li Xiu was afraid that if his two children failed the exam, there would be no one to pick them up. Not good.

Not only were they waiting, but many people behind him were also waiting. I was afraid that if the child came out and couldn't find the adults, he should be anxious. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute opened, and some people walked out Depressed people, many people shed tears at the door, some cried loudly, and some vowed to come back next year, there are all kinds of people.Lixiu even shook his head when he saw two people who were older than him. They were both so old that they could farm at home.

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang searched around, but they didn't see their two children. He let out a sigh of relief, and waited until the gate of the examination room was closed, and when everyone was almost gone, he went back with Da Zhuang in peace. I didn't sleep well all night, because I was afraid that the child would not sleep well in the examination room, and it happened to be a time when there were many mosquitoes, so I was afraid that the child would suffer.

Da Zhuang really couldn't stand it anymore, so he put his arms around him and said, "Don't worry, it's fine, Xiao Bao is still here, how about I let Chu Er go and see?"

Li Xiu listened: "Come on, it's so late, don't bother Brother Chu, let him have a good rest."

Da Zhuang thought in his heart, I'm afraid that guy has already gone to see it secretly. With his strength to protect the calf, even his own father can't help shaking his head. Now Tong Rui is already his precious apprentice. , Didn't see him all day long, let Tong Rui follow him to learn this and that?Let alone martial arts, he is proud enough. What his son really learned and knows, makes him a proud father.

The next morning, Lixiu got up early and went to the vegetable market in Fucheng to buy the vegetables that the children like to eat. He also went to the mutton shop to weigh some mutton and prepared to wait until evening for the children to eat. When he came back, he made barbecue for the children. Since he made it for the children once when he was a child, the whole family fell in love with this taste, especially the child Tong Rui.

Lixiu also asked Da Zhuang to buy chicken heads and chicken hearts from the chicken stall. When he got home, he ordered people to skewer these things, cut the mutton into small pieces, put them on bamboo sticks, and wait for dinner at night , and some vegetable strings, I didn’t forget, and I told the servants to make more, and everyone in the house should not be left behind. When the servants heard this, they were very happy. No, it's also good for servants.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu and Da Zhuang went to the examination room together with a smile. As soon as they got there, they saw that many people had arrived first. Even the tea room at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Institute was full of people. Waiting in the car, Lixiu looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, and it was probably over soon, so he couldn't help but touch the watch, feeling very lucky that it was a mechanical watch, otherwise the battery would have run out , This is thanks to his master. This is his birthday present, and his master chose it for him. He said that this thing has been used for a long time. It has been used for several years, and it is still walking, which is very good.

At five o'clock, the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute opened, and the examinees came out in a line. Some were happy, some were calm, and some were depressed. In short, the emotions expressed by individuals were different. Seeing that Chu Junyu was waiting in front of the car, Da Zhuang and Chu Er had already gone to the front to find the two children, and the four came back happily after a while.

When Tong Xiaobao saw Ah Mo, he said politely: "Ah Mo, I kept you waiting for a long time, my son is back."

Li Xiu gave Tong Xiaobao a hug: "Hey, my little treasure is polite, unlike that monkey, he doesn't know how to be polite at all. When you go home, Dad will cook something delicious for you."

Tong Xiaobao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, Tong Rui also misses you very much. When he was lying on the bed last night, he said he missed you."

After Lixiu heard this, he put the little friend Chu Junyu beside Tong Xiaobao, walked over and hugged Tong Rui and said, "My dear son, you have a conscience, and you know you miss Dad. Let's go home, and I'll give you a hand." Go make something delicious."

Tong Rui laughed and said, "Well, yesterday I was thinking about the delicious food Ahma made in bed yesterday, so I must eat more today."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu said with a smile, "Feelings, you think I just want my delicious food. I'm heartbroken."

Tong Rui stuck out his tongue, ran into Da Zhuang's arms with a smile and laughed loudly. His smile provoked those who hadn't left to look this way. Li Xiu thought he didn't want to be a monkey, so he immediately turned around and hugged Chu Jun Yu got into the car, and the rest of the people got into the car, and Chu Er drove the car away.

There were several people standing at the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute, among them was Chao Qian, the magistrate of Qingcheng Prefecture. Last time he was in the teahouse and heard the conversation of Da Zhuang's family. Shouchang Fang, who came to visit Da Zhuang’s family, ended up being blocked by Chu Batian and prevented them from seeing Li Xiu, but he got the prescription. This time, Chang Fang was rewarded by Yao Yulan. Of course, Chang Fang did not forget him and mentioned him in front of Yao Yulan. For this reason, Yao Yulan has been transferred to Chenzhou County to express his praise. Keep one post, after this hospital exam, you will take up the post.

I saw the two children of Da Zhuang’s family inside today, and knew that their uncle was the king of Chu, Chu Batian, so he didn’t dare to be negligent. The test is very good, because the test is good, so you only need to write the correct content on it, but the two children of their family not only did well in the test, but they didn't even miss a word, especially the small characters were written very neatly , the size is uniform, not bad at all, of course, the child is young and has not practiced any handwriting, but the writing is very clean.

Looking at the big ones, the writing already has some style. It should be running script, but it may be small, so it seems that it is not as comfortable to write as the small ones, so he secretly discussed with a few adults there to prepare for the future. This No.1 is for the small ones, and No.2 is for the big ones.

The examiners are all good people, and it’s not a big deal to talk about a hospital exam. The first and second don’t matter. The most important thing is not to offend Chao Qian. After all, this person is going to be promoted soon, maybe One day he will come to Beijing to become a Beijing official, so don't offend him if he doesn't have a deep friendship, and they all agree with him in secret.

So this ancient officialdom is dark, as long as you have a strong relationship, no matter how good you are in the exam, it's useless. In fact, among so many candidates, can there be any better than Tong Xiaobao and his brother?But helplessly, you don't have a strong relationship with the two brothers, who do you blame, so this is a default decision, one of the two brothers is the case leader, and the other is No.2, that is, a scholar.
