The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 39
When Gu Zhao and Zhu Xiucai were talking, Li Zhouzhou was in the stove house with Zhu Xiucai's mother and wife, and it was the same when visiting Zhu Xiucai's house in previous years.
Li Zhouzhou was more comfortable talking about the stove house.
Zhu Xiucai's son will be three years old after the new year, and it seems that there is not much change from the last time we saw each other.Li Zhouzhou took out caramel from his purse and handed it to Zhu Xiucai's son.Zhu Xiucai's son didn't pick it up, so he went to see A Niang first, A Niang nodded, Zhu Xiucai's son took it, and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
"You're welcome." Li Zhouzhou stroked Zhu Xiucai's son's hair.
The child's nickname is Shi Nu, but his first name has not yet been chosen.Farm children all have cheap names and are easy to support. Li Zhouzhou didn’t understand the name of Zhu Xiucai’s son’s name at first, but he thought it sounded different from other children in the village, and it sounded nice.Later, Xianggong told him that pig means little pig.
"Go to the side to play, don't run and be careful to fall."
"Understood, Ma'am." The slave took the caramel and went to the yard to play.
The door of the kitchen was open, and Zhu Xiucai's mother came in after a while.Li Zhouzhou was still sitting in front of the stove adding firewood, able to warm his hands, and asked: "Sister-in-law, auntie, my family is going to take the exam for a scholar in the spring. This is the first time I have accompanied my husband to prefectures and counties. Prepare something."
Aunt Zhu Xiucai said: "At that time, Niang Yun followed me. If it wasn't for Niang Yun's carefulness, I wouldn't worry about it. When I came back, I heard that those who entered the examination room together had a stomachache and ate bad food."
Li Zhouzhou was terrified, why did he still eat badly?
"Don't wear jackets when it's cold, and don't wear too many layers of unlined clothing. Food and beverages are sold in the exam hall, but you can make clean ones yourself. There are also charcoal stoves and copper pots. You can rent them outside the exam. It costs [-] Wen for two days. , I want to bet fifty cash, and I will leave a sign for you, remember to take this sign, take the sign to exchange money after the exam, take the copper pot back, iron it, wash it, and then use it..." Mrs. Zhu Xiucai said in detail.
Li Zhouzhou listened carefully and remembered everything in his heart.
At noon, Li Zhouzhou and Mr. Xianggong had dinner at Zhu Xiucai's house, and they got up to leave after a while.Zhu Xiucai's family personally delivered it to the gate of the courtyard. Gu Zhao cupped his hands and said that there was no need to send it away. Li Zhouzhou nodded goodbye to Zhu Xiucai's wife and uncle.
Only then did he leave.
On the way back, Li Zhouzhou kept talking about what brand, copper furnace, and money Gu Zhao heard. He held Zhou Zhou's hand, slowly rubbing the calluses on his fingertips, and said, "What are you talking about?"
"I just asked my sister-in-law what to prepare. My sister-in-law said it. I'm afraid I forgot to remember it a few times."
"Tell me Zhou Zhou, and I will keep it in my heart after hearing it, so that we can remind each other."
Li Zhouzhou thought that this was obviously his job, and troubled Xianggong to remember it, but when he turned his head and saw his pitiful appearance, he couldn't help saying: "Xianggong, you are acting like a baby again."
"Is that good?" Gu Zhao green tea said coquettishly.
Li Zhouzhou couldn't help it, "Okay. I need to rent an inn two days in advance. It's better to spend more money to be able to cook and boil hot water by myself, so as not to spoil my stomach..."
The two talked all the way, but they didn't think it was a long way to go back. It was cold and the wind was like a knife.
On the eighth day of the eighth day, I ate the wedding wine from the big cow in the village.
Zhang Zhuzi's house had two mud-tiled rooms added to the main house, but Qingzhuan Tian still couldn't bear it, why would he spend all that money.The mud tile house is already good, and it would be better if there are more layers of tiles.
After the banquet, Gu Zhao took advantage of the big guys to toast and said that he wanted to try to go to the prefecture and county to take the exam for scholars after the spring began. After that, the family closed the door to thank the guests and concentrate on studying. If the uncles and aunts come to the door, the hospitality is not good. I also hope to understand.
The villagers naturally said some auspicious words to let Gu Shulang read the book steadily.
Afterwards, Gu Zhao began to make a surprise attack before the exam.In fact, the original body's basic skills are quite solid, and he is also a bit smart and spiritual. Otherwise, he would not have passed the Tongsheng exam at the age of ten, but because he took the exam early, he was praised by the villagers and drifted away.
Xuetai hangs a placard to criticize, saying that the original body memorized it by rote, which is unreasonable.
The policy theory is too rigid.
After studying like this for more than a month, the year came in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of February.For more than a month, people in the village did not go to Li's house if they had nothing to do. It was really like drought fertilizer.
Brother Xing can chat with Li Zhouzhou a few more times every day while doing laundry. He knows that Li Zhouzhou will go to the prefecture in a few days. He has been to the prefecture once, which is already an old memory, and it is by ox cart I didn’t go shopping much, so I asked Guangzong——Guangzong went to play.
"...His mind only remembers which street is busiest and sells more groceries, and he doesn't know anything else." Brother Xing asked a useless question for a long time.
Li Zhouzhou smiled and said: "Don't talk about Guangzong, if you don't remember it, you can't remember it. My husband and I went a few days earlier, and then I will ask the waiter at the inn more. If it doesn't work, it should be done."
"There are many people in the prefecture and county, and there are many interesting tricks." Brother Xing was very interested. He wanted Zhou Zhou to go to the prefecture to help him see, and bring back some beautiful fabrics, but on another thought, Zhou Zhou didn't go to play, so he let go of these words and didn't say them.
The Chunwei exam is on March [-]th, and it is scheduled to start on March [-]th. It will take a day to drive the mule cart. In case there is a delay on the way, and you cannot enter the county town that night, it will be two days, which can ease it.
Before leaving, Li Zhouzhou and his father made fertilizer for the dry fields for a few days. Li Da said no, he would do it by himself. Li Zhouzhou took advantage of his free time to do it secretly.
On the [-]th day, Uncle Gu of Dongping Village, Gu Si, and two other brothers came to the door, and each household took [-] Wen and sent them over.Now Zhao'er has joined the Li family and is the son-in-law of the Li family, but our family is also married, it's just a small gift.
Li Dao took it away.
Gu Zhao came to the door, but there was no reason for Zhao'er to cut off the kiss from the Gu family.
Grandma Gu told Uncle Gu about paying the money, and you don’t need to take too much money. If you take too much money, the Li family may not accept it, so just pack twenty or thirty yuan. Dedicated.Of course, there are those who don't want to give it, Erfang muttered behind his back: If Gu Zhaojuan gets married, it's a waste of water, why does his family have to spend money on the imperial examination now?
The second room originally wanted to persuade the third room not to give it together, but who knew that the third room turned around and asked: "The magistrate of the county has praised Zhao'er, what do you think if he passes the exam this time? Second sister-in-law, your family has no children, don't you want to?" In the future? Although Zhao'er is from the Li family, there are not many things about twenty or thirty Wen." It means that the eyelids should not be so shallow, like Li Guihua.
On the face of the second room, it should be that the third brother and sister are discerning people, and when they turn around, they will be so angry, saying that the third family is running on her with words, and comparing her with Li Guihua, who is full of money, but the anger passes, and he just stares at his own man. He kept asking: "Do you think Gu Zhao can pass the exam this time?"
"Can you?" the man said.
In the end, each of the four families sent [-] Wen over there.After sending it back, the second room asked the man if it was delivered?What did the Li family say?Have you declined?How does Gu Zhao look?
I heard the man say: "The money has been collected, and I didn't refuse. Gu Zhao is at home to wash the dishes." Later, Gu Erbo felt that it was not good, and the good man took the dishes to the stove to clean up.
This is what women and brothers should do.
The second aunt was discouraged all of a sudden, and said: "It's almost the exam, why do you still work, don't know that you don't have the confidence to fail the exam, just work harder and work harder, the Li family can't blame him."
Anyway, her baby is like this, when she did something bad, she would work diligently in front of her and show it. Later, when she asked her, she felt guilty and wanted to save a few beatings.
"Thirty cents is a waste of money, but the third family still praises me." The second aunt sighed.
"If you don't pass the exam this time, next time your mother says that you can just push it over. You can't give it like this every time. Even if the family is separated, Gu Zhao will marry a member of the Li family."
"That's right, it counts as thirty pennies to cover your mother's mouth."
The second aunt could only think so, and she would never give it in the future.It was also she who was deceived by the words of the third family. Can doing fertilizer and crop land be the same as taking the imperial examination?If Gu Zhao had that great skill, he wouldn't have been laughed at, and he would have become the son-in-law of the Li family.
Forget it, it's thirty Wen.
The four brothers of the Gu family were thinking about whether or not Gu Zhaocheng would be successful when they came back after giving them the money. ——
Ugh.
Later, when the sisters-in-law were doing laundry and chatting, they explained the bottom line, only to find out that it was the mother-in-law's intentions, and they used words to hang them, making them willing to pay Gu Zhao.
"The same goes for mother-in-law, Gu Zhao has come to the door, and still worry about it."
"After all, I have been raised in the old house for so long, and the old lady loves her grandson. Forget [-] Wen, I won't give it next time."
"Of course there will be no next time." The second aunt said firmly, "If Gu Zhao takes the exam again next time, her family will definitely not give it."
Xiping Village also said in private that the first sentence of every household is: "Although Gu Shulang is smart, he has figured out the fertilizer."
The people in the village don't know what kind of scholars are really admitted, but in the past two years, I have seen Gu Shulang working in the fields, fetching water from the river, raising chickens, feeding pigs and sweeping snow for his family every week, thinking about the stove, how can he study? Such big guys don't know.
"...No matter how bad you are, you can still fill your stomach if you come back to work in the fields." The man in the village said.
That's true.
Now that the harvest is good, the hard work is worth it.
The day before going to the prefecture and county, the villagers also wanted to send things, vegetables, eggs, and a few pennies, but Gu Zhao returned it for his father.
In those days before the Chinese New Year, the folks in the village have given away some eggs. Although everyone remembers their family’s goodness, if you come to give something every time you have something, some people definitely don’t want to give it over and over again, but you don’t give it to others. , This was held up by other people, and I complained in my heart that I couldn't say anything to everyone in the village. It must be his family who vented their dissatisfaction.
"Uncle, aunt, and uncle's kindness, Gu accepts it, but the exams are so long, how can I bother the elders every time." Gu Zhao smiled and bowed.
The person who took the things hurriedly waved his hand and said that Gu Shulang was being polite. Seeing that the Li family really didn't accept it, he said some auspicious words and took the things back.Aunt Wang is one of them. When I went back, I heard other people say that the Li family was lucky enough to recruit Gu Shulang. Besides, Gu Shulang's words are pleasant to hear, and he doesn't want a few pennies or two eggs. He is really a good boy, and God will bless him. ah.
Aunt Wang was actually not happy about taking things this time. Years ago, Li’s family got a plaque and got 100 taels of silver. Now I want to send something to Li's family again.
Why?The eggs she saved were reluctant to eat, so they had to be sent to Li's family.
Fortunately, I declined this time. Could it be possible that Gu Zhaokao will have to give gifts every time when there is something wrong with the Li family?
On the morning of the [-]th, before dawn, Li Zhouzhou got up and made breakfast, which the family ate.Li Da said that there is no need to clean up, so hurry up and don't forget things.
Li Zhouzhou didn't go to clean up the pots and bowls, but first took the package packed yesterday to the mule cart.
Li Da harnessed the mule cart, drove it out of the yard, and locked the door.
The mule cart is a carriage with an empty top, unlike a carriage specially designed to pull people, and it has a cover.Grain and goods were often pulled on the car boards. Li Zhouzhou washed them a few days ago, and after drying, he removed the door curtains sewn in the winter at home and laid them on the floor.
Afraid of delay, Li Zhouzhou also brought a quilt if he stayed overnight outside the city.
Seeing Zhou Zhou's busy schedule and meticulous preparation, Gu Zhao didn't find it cumbersome. On the contrary, he felt warm in his heart. These are Zhou Zhou's love and care for him.
"You two sit up, and I will lead the way." Li Da said.
Li Zhouzhou: "Father, I'll come down for a while too."
"It's okay to go up." Li Da patted the mule in his hand. He was well-fed on weekdays, but now he has grown into a strong man and can carry heavy loads. "I'll walk for a while to warm up."
Only then did Li Zhouzhou get into the carriage.Gu Zhao was not polite, knowing that his father and Zhou Zhou would not agree to him talking about walking, so he would just sit on the carriage and memorize the book in his heart.
At noon, Li Da took the water bag and poured it into the cracked porcelain bowl, let the mules drink first, and then fed the mules with forage mixed with wheat bran, and then went on the road again after a rest.
The well-fed mules regained their energy and walked happily.
It was still dark, and finally saw the four characters of Ningping Prefecture and entered the city gate.Li Zhouzhou was worried that his father would drive his mule back at night alone, and Li Da was worried about the two who had never traveled far. The family of three asked people from the prefecture and county to find an inn, and rented it for one night first.
"Have a rest for the night, and I'll go and find out tomorrow, which inn is quieter and closer to the examination institute." Li Zhouzhou had this idea.
Gu Zhao moved his arms and legs, and said, "We all follow Zhou Zhou's arrangement."
In the Fuxian Inn, an ordinary room costs 25 Wen per night, and Li Da asked for two rooms.The waiter in the inn brought hot water, and after the three of them washed up, they ordered three servings of plain noodles and ate them. Their stomachs were not hungry, so they had time to talk.
Li Da said: "Tomorrow, Zhou Zhou and I will go to the inn, settle you two down, and I will pick you up after the exam."
The results will be released about five days after the exam, and the room cost of staying in the prefecture and county is 25 yuan for one night, let alone eating. The bowl of plain noodles just now costs three yuan a bowl in the town, and here is five yuan, which is still less than the town. Some.
Just wait for the results in the prefecture and county.Gu Zhao didn't want to spend the money either. If he won, he won. If he didn't win, he would stay in the prefecture to know in advance and it wouldn't change the result.
"Okay, Dad."
After a day's journey, they each rested early.
Li Zhouzhou also spread the bedding from home. He had just touched it, but the bedding in the store had a mild musty smell and was still a little wet.
"I'll ask Dad."
Li Da's side is similar, but it's just enough for one night, sleeping with clothes on.Li Zhouzhou went back.
Early the next morning, the father and son went out of the inn to inquire about it, and Gu Zhao stayed at the inn to read.About two hours later, the father and son came back, found a new inn, took the mule cart, packed their own things, and drove the cart for almost an hour before arriving.
Last night when the three of them entered the city, it was dark, and those who were unfamiliar with the place found an inn nearby. The location was naturally close to the city gate, and the environment was not very good.Now this one is just one street away from the examination institute, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there. Of course, the price is also expensive.
Fifty Wen a night.
Gu Zhao: "Has the price increased?"
The waiter in the shop led the way, not afraid that the students rushing to take the exam would not be able to stay, so he said with a smile: "You should come a few days earlier, if you come a few days later, you will have to go up. Our inn is close to the examination institute, and there are offerings at any time on weekdays." Hot water, if you want to borrow a stove, as long as it’s not a meal, you can do it conveniently, and we live here are all candidates like you, and we can communicate..."
The room led the way to the top room on the second floor.
"Look, the window is good for lighting, but it's not facing the street, and it's quiet during the day."
Gu Zhao saw that the room was larger than the one he stayed in last night, and the ventilation was good. It was really nice to see the sun come out at noon.Li Zhouzhou also felt good. When he touched the bedding, it was all clean and tasteless.
After six days of payment, it cost three hundred Wen.
Seeing that he had settled down, Li Da took out five taels of silver, and gave Zhou Zhou another bag of copper coins, and said: "Outside, don't worry about it, spend whatever you have. good."
"I know dad."
The couple sent Dad out.Li Zhouzhou bought ten steamed buns from a roadside vendor and handed them to his father, "You can eat on the way."
Dad was not full from the plain noodles he ate last night.
Li Da took it, "Go back, don't run around." He looked at Gu Zhao again, "Take care of Zhou Zhou."
"Dad, don't worry." Gu Zhao agreed.
Li Da felt relieved and let the two of them go back, but the two of them agreed, but without moving their feet, Li Da drove the mule cart away, the buns in his arms were still hot, and his heart was warm from the hot clothes. .
When the mule cart was far away and out of sight, the couple went back to the inn.
In the next few days, Gu Zhao read books in the morning, had a simple meal at noon and Zhou Zhou, and went to the bookstore in the afternoon to look around. Many shop assistants rolled their eyes.
Gu Zhao then smiled politely, he was originally poor and came here to prostitute for free.
The owner of the shop thought the scholar was interesting. He knew that his family was poor and he was a farmer when he saw what he was wearing.Usually there are poor scholars who come here, or they are afraid of being blindfolded and dare not read it with their hands, or they are thick-skinned and pretend to be calm to read it. , Dirty this room full of books.
"What's the scholar's last name?"
"My surname is Gu, from Xiping Village, Ningsong Township." Gu Zhao replied.
The boss nodded and didn't say much.
Gu Zhao went to read it for an hour every day. These books were annotations by famous scholars. After reading the contents for an hour, he quickly copied them down and memorized them. If there were more, he would not be able to remember them.For three days in a row, the clerk looked down on me every day. In the past two days, he smiled politely and left without responding to the clerk who muttered harsh words. Now the clerk said again, and Gu Zhao stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, this is my friend." A manuscript is required."
Dude was startled, this is bought?
It can be seen that the poor scholar took the cheapest one in their store, and also had a handwritten copy—as always, poor and searched.
"Thanks for your patronage, half the money."
Five hundred Wen.
Gu Zhao took out pieces of silver from his pocket and handed it over. The clerk checked the authenticity in front of his face. He deliberately made Gu Zhao look bad, meaning that you, a poor scholar, used to think you couldn’t afford it, but now you took out the silver, who knows if it’s true? real?
Gu Zhao's face was not humiliated at all, so he let the clerk take a look at it slowly, then opened other books and waited.
As soon as the guy saw it, he quickly changed the money.When the person left, he murmured: "If the other scholar is appointed to yell at me like this, this one will be fine."
The boss also thinks that this scholar Gu is unusual.
On the day before the exam on the [-]th, Zhu Xiucai somehow found the inn and came up.
"I went to the study to deliver the manuscript, and I heard the clerk in the store say that Gu Scholar—" Zhu Xiucai didn't finish the sentence, the clerk said that the poor man surnamed Gu didn't come today.As soon as Zhu Xiucai inquired, the person from Xiping Village, Ningsong Town, was Gu Zhao.
"I know you're going to take an exam this time, why don't you come to the government school to find me? If it wasn't for the books, I wouldn't know you live here."
Gu Zhao said with a smile: "I'll give it a try, I don't want to disturb Brother Zhu's study, after all, Qiu Wei is coming soon."
Although Zhu Xiucai felt that Gu Zhao was in danger this time, he took the exam tomorrow, and only said some words of concern and encouragement, then asked again, and when he learned that Gu Zhao had finished the exam, he went back, nodded and said, "The inn fee is expensive. There is no announcer for the scholar Yes, you have to check the results yourself, since you didn't stay in the county, you can pay for an errand to deliver the letter."
The original body has also passed the test, so Gu Zhao naturally knows, but I still thank Zhu Xiucai.
After a while, Zhu Xiucai returned to the official school.
Go to bed early that night.Li Zhouzhou was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, so Gu Zhao hugged Zhou Zhou and kissed Zhou Zhou's lips.
Li Zhouzhou immediately covered his mouth and said, "You can't ask for it during the exam, even if you act like a baby."
"Really?" Gu Zhao then pitifully and cutely used his eyes to 'attack', "If Zhao'er is nervous and wants to hug and kiss Zhou Zhou, can't she?"
Li Zhouzhou put down his hand covering his mouth, his face full of hesitation, but, but it's not good to do so, it will delay the test of the husband, but the husband wants to--
"You're kidding." Gu Zhao's wife, why is she so cute? He believed that if he was acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful, Zhou Zhou would follow him.
In this world, Zhou Zhou is the only one who listens to him wholeheartedly and trusts him.
"Master—"
"Zhao'er's fault, Zhao'er will not do it in the future." Gu Zhao acted cutely and rubbed his wife's hand.
Li Zhouzhou didn't say anything, just laughed, "Okay, Mr., don't tease me."
"Aren't you nervous?" Gu Zhao got up seriously, and said, "When I was Gu Zhao, who was laughed at by everyone in Dongping Village, Zhou Zhou didn't dislike me and treated me well. If I fail the exam this time, Zhou Zhou will be successful." Will you dislike me? I don't believe it."
Li Zhouzhou's heart also became firmer, yes, no matter what the result is, it's good for the husband to do his best, and then he secretly pooh-poohed in his heart, begging God not to listen to his nonsense.
It must be done smoothly.
After two days of exams, the weather was good and there was no rain. Although there was wind at night, it was useless to be wrapped in sheets in the cold. Fortunately, Gu Zhao went to do farm work, and his training foundation improved. Sneezing, chattering teeth.
Gu Zhao thought he was okay!
The content of the exam is divided into three categories, Moyi and Sutras. Gu Zhao thinks that the two can be classified into one category. The former is a short-answer question. It gives a sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics, and you explain it yourself and write down your understanding.The latter is equivalent to filling in the blanks with Chinese poems.
Poetry and prose is difficult. You have to write poems or make prose according to the topic.
Gu Zhao is a science student, and he is really bald for this question, and he is also very skillful in composing poems and prose, so there is nothing useful at all.On the contrary, the nine-year compulsory education has memorized a lot of poems and songs, and it is impossible for Gu Zhao to forget some catchy poems.
Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, etc., there is no such time and space, and just copying a few sentences can amaze everyone.But Gu Zhao never thought about it. It is easy to gain fame by taking this shortcut, but after gaining fame, he is using someone else's talent. If you attend any banquet in the future, if someone asks you to compose a poem immediately , how ugly it will be then?
Gu Zhao also didn't want to label himself as a master of poetry and prose.
So he squeezed out a poem honestly.
The last big question, the one with the most points is the policy question, a small paper on current affairs.Seeing that the title is "Tian Gen", isn't that right?Gu Zhao used to focus on this area, and "Yi Guo Lun" is even more familiar, written quickly, combining Tian Gen and his farm life practice, and of course he did not forget to flatter Fu Zun.
However, the magistrate of Ningping County really understands the people's sentiments, and it is not considered that he is flattering and fawning against his conscience.
……
Two days later.
Li Zhouzhou crowded in front of the entrance of the examination institute to pick up his husband. There were people in front of him, men, women, young and old. As soon as the door opened, an officer carried a candidate out. There was crying at the front, and someone said: "Another person couldn't resist fainting." It's over."
Li Zhouzhou was worried because he was afraid that it was his husband, and he was relieved when he heard that the crying was an unfamiliar name. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, he finally saw his husband, and hurried up to pick up his basket.
"Tired? Go back and rest first."
Gu Zhao held Zhou Zhou's wrist and said, "I'm not tired, really, I'm in good spirits. I've worried you for the past two days." His Zhou Zhou's lips were a little blue, his hands were cold, and he was taking the exam inside. , Zhou Zhou didn't know how long he had been waiting outside, how long he had been worried.
"My husband said what to do. We are a husband and wife, and we should." Li Zhouzhou didn't feel that he was working hard, he just waited and busy with some trivial things, what's the matter.In the past two days in front of the entrance of the examination institute, he was so frightened to death when he saw people being carried out inside, and he also knew that the examination was not easy.
Gu Zhao nodded seriously, "Yes, Zhou Zhou is right."
While talking about the inn.
Gu Zhao drank hot water, scrubbed and fell into bed before going to bed, while Li Zhouzhou went to deal with trivial matters, such as returning the stove copper pot with a sign, and asking for errands to deliver letters - this is to prevent being cheated.
In the past two days, Li Zhouzhou was outside the entrance of the examination institute, and he heard a lot of experiences from his family members who were also accompanying the candidates. For example, some errand runners saw that you were a foreigner, and they lied to you about your money and reported the letter. What if he doesn't go to the countryside?
Be sure to ask the address where the errands are delivered, and look at his household registration, and then ask the residents near his house to see if it is this person. Everything is right, and then pay the money and say the address.
Running errands aren't cheap either.
Everything is done properly.Li Zhouzhou packed his bags, and after noon the next day, he saw his father driving the mule cart to the inn, and had a conversation with him. The mules would feed the fodder after they had rested, and the family loaded their things into the mule cart.
Come back home!
Li Zhouzhou was more comfortable talking about the stove house.
Zhu Xiucai's son will be three years old after the new year, and it seems that there is not much change from the last time we saw each other.Li Zhouzhou took out caramel from his purse and handed it to Zhu Xiucai's son.Zhu Xiucai's son didn't pick it up, so he went to see A Niang first, A Niang nodded, Zhu Xiucai's son took it, and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
"You're welcome." Li Zhouzhou stroked Zhu Xiucai's son's hair.
The child's nickname is Shi Nu, but his first name has not yet been chosen.Farm children all have cheap names and are easy to support. Li Zhouzhou didn’t understand the name of Zhu Xiucai’s son’s name at first, but he thought it sounded different from other children in the village, and it sounded nice.Later, Xianggong told him that pig means little pig.
"Go to the side to play, don't run and be careful to fall."
"Understood, Ma'am." The slave took the caramel and went to the yard to play.
The door of the kitchen was open, and Zhu Xiucai's mother came in after a while.Li Zhouzhou was still sitting in front of the stove adding firewood, able to warm his hands, and asked: "Sister-in-law, auntie, my family is going to take the exam for a scholar in the spring. This is the first time I have accompanied my husband to prefectures and counties. Prepare something."
Aunt Zhu Xiucai said: "At that time, Niang Yun followed me. If it wasn't for Niang Yun's carefulness, I wouldn't worry about it. When I came back, I heard that those who entered the examination room together had a stomachache and ate bad food."
Li Zhouzhou was terrified, why did he still eat badly?
"Don't wear jackets when it's cold, and don't wear too many layers of unlined clothing. Food and beverages are sold in the exam hall, but you can make clean ones yourself. There are also charcoal stoves and copper pots. You can rent them outside the exam. It costs [-] Wen for two days. , I want to bet fifty cash, and I will leave a sign for you, remember to take this sign, take the sign to exchange money after the exam, take the copper pot back, iron it, wash it, and then use it..." Mrs. Zhu Xiucai said in detail.
Li Zhouzhou listened carefully and remembered everything in his heart.
At noon, Li Zhouzhou and Mr. Xianggong had dinner at Zhu Xiucai's house, and they got up to leave after a while.Zhu Xiucai's family personally delivered it to the gate of the courtyard. Gu Zhao cupped his hands and said that there was no need to send it away. Li Zhouzhou nodded goodbye to Zhu Xiucai's wife and uncle.
Only then did he leave.
On the way back, Li Zhouzhou kept talking about what brand, copper furnace, and money Gu Zhao heard. He held Zhou Zhou's hand, slowly rubbing the calluses on his fingertips, and said, "What are you talking about?"
"I just asked my sister-in-law what to prepare. My sister-in-law said it. I'm afraid I forgot to remember it a few times."
"Tell me Zhou Zhou, and I will keep it in my heart after hearing it, so that we can remind each other."
Li Zhouzhou thought that this was obviously his job, and troubled Xianggong to remember it, but when he turned his head and saw his pitiful appearance, he couldn't help saying: "Xianggong, you are acting like a baby again."
"Is that good?" Gu Zhao green tea said coquettishly.
Li Zhouzhou couldn't help it, "Okay. I need to rent an inn two days in advance. It's better to spend more money to be able to cook and boil hot water by myself, so as not to spoil my stomach..."
The two talked all the way, but they didn't think it was a long way to go back. It was cold and the wind was like a knife.
On the eighth day of the eighth day, I ate the wedding wine from the big cow in the village.
Zhang Zhuzi's house had two mud-tiled rooms added to the main house, but Qingzhuan Tian still couldn't bear it, why would he spend all that money.The mud tile house is already good, and it would be better if there are more layers of tiles.
After the banquet, Gu Zhao took advantage of the big guys to toast and said that he wanted to try to go to the prefecture and county to take the exam for scholars after the spring began. After that, the family closed the door to thank the guests and concentrate on studying. If the uncles and aunts come to the door, the hospitality is not good. I also hope to understand.
The villagers naturally said some auspicious words to let Gu Shulang read the book steadily.
Afterwards, Gu Zhao began to make a surprise attack before the exam.In fact, the original body's basic skills are quite solid, and he is also a bit smart and spiritual. Otherwise, he would not have passed the Tongsheng exam at the age of ten, but because he took the exam early, he was praised by the villagers and drifted away.
Xuetai hangs a placard to criticize, saying that the original body memorized it by rote, which is unreasonable.
The policy theory is too rigid.
After studying like this for more than a month, the year came in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of February.For more than a month, people in the village did not go to Li's house if they had nothing to do. It was really like drought fertilizer.
Brother Xing can chat with Li Zhouzhou a few more times every day while doing laundry. He knows that Li Zhouzhou will go to the prefecture in a few days. He has been to the prefecture once, which is already an old memory, and it is by ox cart I didn’t go shopping much, so I asked Guangzong——Guangzong went to play.
"...His mind only remembers which street is busiest and sells more groceries, and he doesn't know anything else." Brother Xing asked a useless question for a long time.
Li Zhouzhou smiled and said: "Don't talk about Guangzong, if you don't remember it, you can't remember it. My husband and I went a few days earlier, and then I will ask the waiter at the inn more. If it doesn't work, it should be done."
"There are many people in the prefecture and county, and there are many interesting tricks." Brother Xing was very interested. He wanted Zhou Zhou to go to the prefecture to help him see, and bring back some beautiful fabrics, but on another thought, Zhou Zhou didn't go to play, so he let go of these words and didn't say them.
The Chunwei exam is on March [-]th, and it is scheduled to start on March [-]th. It will take a day to drive the mule cart. In case there is a delay on the way, and you cannot enter the county town that night, it will be two days, which can ease it.
Before leaving, Li Zhouzhou and his father made fertilizer for the dry fields for a few days. Li Da said no, he would do it by himself. Li Zhouzhou took advantage of his free time to do it secretly.
On the [-]th day, Uncle Gu of Dongping Village, Gu Si, and two other brothers came to the door, and each household took [-] Wen and sent them over.Now Zhao'er has joined the Li family and is the son-in-law of the Li family, but our family is also married, it's just a small gift.
Li Dao took it away.
Gu Zhao came to the door, but there was no reason for Zhao'er to cut off the kiss from the Gu family.
Grandma Gu told Uncle Gu about paying the money, and you don’t need to take too much money. If you take too much money, the Li family may not accept it, so just pack twenty or thirty yuan. Dedicated.Of course, there are those who don't want to give it, Erfang muttered behind his back: If Gu Zhaojuan gets married, it's a waste of water, why does his family have to spend money on the imperial examination now?
The second room originally wanted to persuade the third room not to give it together, but who knew that the third room turned around and asked: "The magistrate of the county has praised Zhao'er, what do you think if he passes the exam this time? Second sister-in-law, your family has no children, don't you want to?" In the future? Although Zhao'er is from the Li family, there are not many things about twenty or thirty Wen." It means that the eyelids should not be so shallow, like Li Guihua.
On the face of the second room, it should be that the third brother and sister are discerning people, and when they turn around, they will be so angry, saying that the third family is running on her with words, and comparing her with Li Guihua, who is full of money, but the anger passes, and he just stares at his own man. He kept asking: "Do you think Gu Zhao can pass the exam this time?"
"Can you?" the man said.
In the end, each of the four families sent [-] Wen over there.After sending it back, the second room asked the man if it was delivered?What did the Li family say?Have you declined?How does Gu Zhao look?
I heard the man say: "The money has been collected, and I didn't refuse. Gu Zhao is at home to wash the dishes." Later, Gu Erbo felt that it was not good, and the good man took the dishes to the stove to clean up.
This is what women and brothers should do.
The second aunt was discouraged all of a sudden, and said: "It's almost the exam, why do you still work, don't know that you don't have the confidence to fail the exam, just work harder and work harder, the Li family can't blame him."
Anyway, her baby is like this, when she did something bad, she would work diligently in front of her and show it. Later, when she asked her, she felt guilty and wanted to save a few beatings.
"Thirty cents is a waste of money, but the third family still praises me." The second aunt sighed.
"If you don't pass the exam this time, next time your mother says that you can just push it over. You can't give it like this every time. Even if the family is separated, Gu Zhao will marry a member of the Li family."
"That's right, it counts as thirty pennies to cover your mother's mouth."
The second aunt could only think so, and she would never give it in the future.It was also she who was deceived by the words of the third family. Can doing fertilizer and crop land be the same as taking the imperial examination?If Gu Zhao had that great skill, he wouldn't have been laughed at, and he would have become the son-in-law of the Li family.
Forget it, it's thirty Wen.
The four brothers of the Gu family were thinking about whether or not Gu Zhaocheng would be successful when they came back after giving them the money. ——
Ugh.
Later, when the sisters-in-law were doing laundry and chatting, they explained the bottom line, only to find out that it was the mother-in-law's intentions, and they used words to hang them, making them willing to pay Gu Zhao.
"The same goes for mother-in-law, Gu Zhao has come to the door, and still worry about it."
"After all, I have been raised in the old house for so long, and the old lady loves her grandson. Forget [-] Wen, I won't give it next time."
"Of course there will be no next time." The second aunt said firmly, "If Gu Zhao takes the exam again next time, her family will definitely not give it."
Xiping Village also said in private that the first sentence of every household is: "Although Gu Shulang is smart, he has figured out the fertilizer."
The people in the village don't know what kind of scholars are really admitted, but in the past two years, I have seen Gu Shulang working in the fields, fetching water from the river, raising chickens, feeding pigs and sweeping snow for his family every week, thinking about the stove, how can he study? Such big guys don't know.
"...No matter how bad you are, you can still fill your stomach if you come back to work in the fields." The man in the village said.
That's true.
Now that the harvest is good, the hard work is worth it.
The day before going to the prefecture and county, the villagers also wanted to send things, vegetables, eggs, and a few pennies, but Gu Zhao returned it for his father.
In those days before the Chinese New Year, the folks in the village have given away some eggs. Although everyone remembers their family’s goodness, if you come to give something every time you have something, some people definitely don’t want to give it over and over again, but you don’t give it to others. , This was held up by other people, and I complained in my heart that I couldn't say anything to everyone in the village. It must be his family who vented their dissatisfaction.
"Uncle, aunt, and uncle's kindness, Gu accepts it, but the exams are so long, how can I bother the elders every time." Gu Zhao smiled and bowed.
The person who took the things hurriedly waved his hand and said that Gu Shulang was being polite. Seeing that the Li family really didn't accept it, he said some auspicious words and took the things back.Aunt Wang is one of them. When I went back, I heard other people say that the Li family was lucky enough to recruit Gu Shulang. Besides, Gu Shulang's words are pleasant to hear, and he doesn't want a few pennies or two eggs. He is really a good boy, and God will bless him. ah.
Aunt Wang was actually not happy about taking things this time. Years ago, Li’s family got a plaque and got 100 taels of silver. Now I want to send something to Li's family again.
Why?The eggs she saved were reluctant to eat, so they had to be sent to Li's family.
Fortunately, I declined this time. Could it be possible that Gu Zhaokao will have to give gifts every time when there is something wrong with the Li family?
On the morning of the [-]th, before dawn, Li Zhouzhou got up and made breakfast, which the family ate.Li Da said that there is no need to clean up, so hurry up and don't forget things.
Li Zhouzhou didn't go to clean up the pots and bowls, but first took the package packed yesterday to the mule cart.
Li Da harnessed the mule cart, drove it out of the yard, and locked the door.
The mule cart is a carriage with an empty top, unlike a carriage specially designed to pull people, and it has a cover.Grain and goods were often pulled on the car boards. Li Zhouzhou washed them a few days ago, and after drying, he removed the door curtains sewn in the winter at home and laid them on the floor.
Afraid of delay, Li Zhouzhou also brought a quilt if he stayed overnight outside the city.
Seeing Zhou Zhou's busy schedule and meticulous preparation, Gu Zhao didn't find it cumbersome. On the contrary, he felt warm in his heart. These are Zhou Zhou's love and care for him.
"You two sit up, and I will lead the way." Li Da said.
Li Zhouzhou: "Father, I'll come down for a while too."
"It's okay to go up." Li Da patted the mule in his hand. He was well-fed on weekdays, but now he has grown into a strong man and can carry heavy loads. "I'll walk for a while to warm up."
Only then did Li Zhouzhou get into the carriage.Gu Zhao was not polite, knowing that his father and Zhou Zhou would not agree to him talking about walking, so he would just sit on the carriage and memorize the book in his heart.
At noon, Li Da took the water bag and poured it into the cracked porcelain bowl, let the mules drink first, and then fed the mules with forage mixed with wheat bran, and then went on the road again after a rest.
The well-fed mules regained their energy and walked happily.
It was still dark, and finally saw the four characters of Ningping Prefecture and entered the city gate.Li Zhouzhou was worried that his father would drive his mule back at night alone, and Li Da was worried about the two who had never traveled far. The family of three asked people from the prefecture and county to find an inn, and rented it for one night first.
"Have a rest for the night, and I'll go and find out tomorrow, which inn is quieter and closer to the examination institute." Li Zhouzhou had this idea.
Gu Zhao moved his arms and legs, and said, "We all follow Zhou Zhou's arrangement."
In the Fuxian Inn, an ordinary room costs 25 Wen per night, and Li Da asked for two rooms.The waiter in the inn brought hot water, and after the three of them washed up, they ordered three servings of plain noodles and ate them. Their stomachs were not hungry, so they had time to talk.
Li Da said: "Tomorrow, Zhou Zhou and I will go to the inn, settle you two down, and I will pick you up after the exam."
The results will be released about five days after the exam, and the room cost of staying in the prefecture and county is 25 yuan for one night, let alone eating. The bowl of plain noodles just now costs three yuan a bowl in the town, and here is five yuan, which is still less than the town. Some.
Just wait for the results in the prefecture and county.Gu Zhao didn't want to spend the money either. If he won, he won. If he didn't win, he would stay in the prefecture to know in advance and it wouldn't change the result.
"Okay, Dad."
After a day's journey, they each rested early.
Li Zhouzhou also spread the bedding from home. He had just touched it, but the bedding in the store had a mild musty smell and was still a little wet.
"I'll ask Dad."
Li Da's side is similar, but it's just enough for one night, sleeping with clothes on.Li Zhouzhou went back.
Early the next morning, the father and son went out of the inn to inquire about it, and Gu Zhao stayed at the inn to read.About two hours later, the father and son came back, found a new inn, took the mule cart, packed their own things, and drove the cart for almost an hour before arriving.
Last night when the three of them entered the city, it was dark, and those who were unfamiliar with the place found an inn nearby. The location was naturally close to the city gate, and the environment was not very good.Now this one is just one street away from the examination institute, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there. Of course, the price is also expensive.
Fifty Wen a night.
Gu Zhao: "Has the price increased?"
The waiter in the shop led the way, not afraid that the students rushing to take the exam would not be able to stay, so he said with a smile: "You should come a few days earlier, if you come a few days later, you will have to go up. Our inn is close to the examination institute, and there are offerings at any time on weekdays." Hot water, if you want to borrow a stove, as long as it’s not a meal, you can do it conveniently, and we live here are all candidates like you, and we can communicate..."
The room led the way to the top room on the second floor.
"Look, the window is good for lighting, but it's not facing the street, and it's quiet during the day."
Gu Zhao saw that the room was larger than the one he stayed in last night, and the ventilation was good. It was really nice to see the sun come out at noon.Li Zhouzhou also felt good. When he touched the bedding, it was all clean and tasteless.
After six days of payment, it cost three hundred Wen.
Seeing that he had settled down, Li Da took out five taels of silver, and gave Zhou Zhou another bag of copper coins, and said: "Outside, don't worry about it, spend whatever you have. good."
"I know dad."
The couple sent Dad out.Li Zhouzhou bought ten steamed buns from a roadside vendor and handed them to his father, "You can eat on the way."
Dad was not full from the plain noodles he ate last night.
Li Da took it, "Go back, don't run around." He looked at Gu Zhao again, "Take care of Zhou Zhou."
"Dad, don't worry." Gu Zhao agreed.
Li Da felt relieved and let the two of them go back, but the two of them agreed, but without moving their feet, Li Da drove the mule cart away, the buns in his arms were still hot, and his heart was warm from the hot clothes. .
When the mule cart was far away and out of sight, the couple went back to the inn.
In the next few days, Gu Zhao read books in the morning, had a simple meal at noon and Zhou Zhou, and went to the bookstore in the afternoon to look around. Many shop assistants rolled their eyes.
Gu Zhao then smiled politely, he was originally poor and came here to prostitute for free.
The owner of the shop thought the scholar was interesting. He knew that his family was poor and he was a farmer when he saw what he was wearing.Usually there are poor scholars who come here, or they are afraid of being blindfolded and dare not read it with their hands, or they are thick-skinned and pretend to be calm to read it. , Dirty this room full of books.
"What's the scholar's last name?"
"My surname is Gu, from Xiping Village, Ningsong Township." Gu Zhao replied.
The boss nodded and didn't say much.
Gu Zhao went to read it for an hour every day. These books were annotations by famous scholars. After reading the contents for an hour, he quickly copied them down and memorized them. If there were more, he would not be able to remember them.For three days in a row, the clerk looked down on me every day. In the past two days, he smiled politely and left without responding to the clerk who muttered harsh words. Now the clerk said again, and Gu Zhao stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, this is my friend." A manuscript is required."
Dude was startled, this is bought?
It can be seen that the poor scholar took the cheapest one in their store, and also had a handwritten copy—as always, poor and searched.
"Thanks for your patronage, half the money."
Five hundred Wen.
Gu Zhao took out pieces of silver from his pocket and handed it over. The clerk checked the authenticity in front of his face. He deliberately made Gu Zhao look bad, meaning that you, a poor scholar, used to think you couldn’t afford it, but now you took out the silver, who knows if it’s true? real?
Gu Zhao's face was not humiliated at all, so he let the clerk take a look at it slowly, then opened other books and waited.
As soon as the guy saw it, he quickly changed the money.When the person left, he murmured: "If the other scholar is appointed to yell at me like this, this one will be fine."
The boss also thinks that this scholar Gu is unusual.
On the day before the exam on the [-]th, Zhu Xiucai somehow found the inn and came up.
"I went to the study to deliver the manuscript, and I heard the clerk in the store say that Gu Scholar—" Zhu Xiucai didn't finish the sentence, the clerk said that the poor man surnamed Gu didn't come today.As soon as Zhu Xiucai inquired, the person from Xiping Village, Ningsong Town, was Gu Zhao.
"I know you're going to take an exam this time, why don't you come to the government school to find me? If it wasn't for the books, I wouldn't know you live here."
Gu Zhao said with a smile: "I'll give it a try, I don't want to disturb Brother Zhu's study, after all, Qiu Wei is coming soon."
Although Zhu Xiucai felt that Gu Zhao was in danger this time, he took the exam tomorrow, and only said some words of concern and encouragement, then asked again, and when he learned that Gu Zhao had finished the exam, he went back, nodded and said, "The inn fee is expensive. There is no announcer for the scholar Yes, you have to check the results yourself, since you didn't stay in the county, you can pay for an errand to deliver the letter."
The original body has also passed the test, so Gu Zhao naturally knows, but I still thank Zhu Xiucai.
After a while, Zhu Xiucai returned to the official school.
Go to bed early that night.Li Zhouzhou was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, so Gu Zhao hugged Zhou Zhou and kissed Zhou Zhou's lips.
Li Zhouzhou immediately covered his mouth and said, "You can't ask for it during the exam, even if you act like a baby."
"Really?" Gu Zhao then pitifully and cutely used his eyes to 'attack', "If Zhao'er is nervous and wants to hug and kiss Zhou Zhou, can't she?"
Li Zhouzhou put down his hand covering his mouth, his face full of hesitation, but, but it's not good to do so, it will delay the test of the husband, but the husband wants to--
"You're kidding." Gu Zhao's wife, why is she so cute? He believed that if he was acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful, Zhou Zhou would follow him.
In this world, Zhou Zhou is the only one who listens to him wholeheartedly and trusts him.
"Master—"
"Zhao'er's fault, Zhao'er will not do it in the future." Gu Zhao acted cutely and rubbed his wife's hand.
Li Zhouzhou didn't say anything, just laughed, "Okay, Mr., don't tease me."
"Aren't you nervous?" Gu Zhao got up seriously, and said, "When I was Gu Zhao, who was laughed at by everyone in Dongping Village, Zhou Zhou didn't dislike me and treated me well. If I fail the exam this time, Zhou Zhou will be successful." Will you dislike me? I don't believe it."
Li Zhouzhou's heart also became firmer, yes, no matter what the result is, it's good for the husband to do his best, and then he secretly pooh-poohed in his heart, begging God not to listen to his nonsense.
It must be done smoothly.
After two days of exams, the weather was good and there was no rain. Although there was wind at night, it was useless to be wrapped in sheets in the cold. Fortunately, Gu Zhao went to do farm work, and his training foundation improved. Sneezing, chattering teeth.
Gu Zhao thought he was okay!
The content of the exam is divided into three categories, Moyi and Sutras. Gu Zhao thinks that the two can be classified into one category. The former is a short-answer question. It gives a sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics, and you explain it yourself and write down your understanding.The latter is equivalent to filling in the blanks with Chinese poems.
Poetry and prose is difficult. You have to write poems or make prose according to the topic.
Gu Zhao is a science student, and he is really bald for this question, and he is also very skillful in composing poems and prose, so there is nothing useful at all.On the contrary, the nine-year compulsory education has memorized a lot of poems and songs, and it is impossible for Gu Zhao to forget some catchy poems.
Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, etc., there is no such time and space, and just copying a few sentences can amaze everyone.But Gu Zhao never thought about it. It is easy to gain fame by taking this shortcut, but after gaining fame, he is using someone else's talent. If you attend any banquet in the future, if someone asks you to compose a poem immediately , how ugly it will be then?
Gu Zhao also didn't want to label himself as a master of poetry and prose.
So he squeezed out a poem honestly.
The last big question, the one with the most points is the policy question, a small paper on current affairs.Seeing that the title is "Tian Gen", isn't that right?Gu Zhao used to focus on this area, and "Yi Guo Lun" is even more familiar, written quickly, combining Tian Gen and his farm life practice, and of course he did not forget to flatter Fu Zun.
However, the magistrate of Ningping County really understands the people's sentiments, and it is not considered that he is flattering and fawning against his conscience.
……
Two days later.
Li Zhouzhou crowded in front of the entrance of the examination institute to pick up his husband. There were people in front of him, men, women, young and old. As soon as the door opened, an officer carried a candidate out. There was crying at the front, and someone said: "Another person couldn't resist fainting." It's over."
Li Zhouzhou was worried because he was afraid that it was his husband, and he was relieved when he heard that the crying was an unfamiliar name. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, he finally saw his husband, and hurried up to pick up his basket.
"Tired? Go back and rest first."
Gu Zhao held Zhou Zhou's wrist and said, "I'm not tired, really, I'm in good spirits. I've worried you for the past two days." His Zhou Zhou's lips were a little blue, his hands were cold, and he was taking the exam inside. , Zhou Zhou didn't know how long he had been waiting outside, how long he had been worried.
"My husband said what to do. We are a husband and wife, and we should." Li Zhouzhou didn't feel that he was working hard, he just waited and busy with some trivial things, what's the matter.In the past two days in front of the entrance of the examination institute, he was so frightened to death when he saw people being carried out inside, and he also knew that the examination was not easy.
Gu Zhao nodded seriously, "Yes, Zhou Zhou is right."
While talking about the inn.
Gu Zhao drank hot water, scrubbed and fell into bed before going to bed, while Li Zhouzhou went to deal with trivial matters, such as returning the stove copper pot with a sign, and asking for errands to deliver letters - this is to prevent being cheated.
In the past two days, Li Zhouzhou was outside the entrance of the examination institute, and he heard a lot of experiences from his family members who were also accompanying the candidates. For example, some errand runners saw that you were a foreigner, and they lied to you about your money and reported the letter. What if he doesn't go to the countryside?
Be sure to ask the address where the errands are delivered, and look at his household registration, and then ask the residents near his house to see if it is this person. Everything is right, and then pay the money and say the address.
Running errands aren't cheap either.
Everything is done properly.Li Zhouzhou packed his bags, and after noon the next day, he saw his father driving the mule cart to the inn, and had a conversation with him. The mules would feed the fodder after they had rested, and the family loaded their things into the mule cart.
