A little sweet through the fragrant

The township examination starts on the ninth day of August, and is held every three days, and ends in three examinations.

The exam is to go in in the morning and end the day.Candles can be continued until dark, but after the deadline, they will be stopped and papers must be handed in.

After handing in the papers, people still eat and live in the Gongyuan.

Trapped in the narrow alley, all kinds of peculiar smells come into the nostrils, and there are also all kinds of noises squeezed into the ears.

Due to the time-consuming, candidates can even cook for themselves during the rural examination.

The stove in the alley has been used for a lifetime. In this hot August, the taste is not to mention sour.

Ye Cunshan brought pancakes, jerky meat, water, and broken silver, which he could buy from the clerk, so he didn't have to make a fire to suffer the crime.

In such an environment, it can be said that the taste can be good without making it yourself, and it saves you from being crowded.

Examination room rules are strict, do less and make less mistakes.

He has no acquaintances in the same test room, so he doesn't say a few words.

After eating and drinking, he watched the other scholars serve their meals before he came out of the examination room to walk around, stretching his legs and bones.

He doesn't have the thin skin of a scholar, but like Cunyin, he has the attributes of a social cow.

At this time, to move the muscles and bones, radio gymnastics is the most effective. It takes a short time and you can still move all the way.

After dancing three rounds, Ye Cunshan went to buy water to wipe his face and body.

The tarpaulin to keep out the rain was lowered to block the light and sight.

A scholar who was close to his test room said that he looked calm and thought he would perform very well in the first game today.

On the first day, I have to write seven stereotyped essays.

"Four Books" contains three chapters of righteousness and four chapters of classics.

Some predecessors shared their experience, saying that there are three township examinations, focusing on the first test, and especially the first part in the first test.

And some fellow examiners lack patience, and only read the first four sentences in the first chapter.

In this way, it is particularly important to solve the problem and accept the problem.

The petty official will also patrol the field and stamp the speeches of the first ring.

In order to be able to write the starting point before stamping, and at the same time make the problem stand out, many people go astray and memorize the beginning of an excellent article in order to take the test.

Quantity wins. I can't write more after I start the article. It takes a long time to carve this article.When the papers are handed in later, the last one or two articles will not perform well.

At the same time, they are also afraid of anticlimactic conditions. The first chapter has a problem that attracts the examiners, but there is no content that is well received. After the exam, they feel uneasy.

Ye Cunshan was accosted, and without arrogance, he took Luo Xu and Liu Wenbai's personalities and said to them: "I can't pass the exam anyway, so why am I in a hurry? If I don't pass the exam, I will go home and kill a pig. Killing a pig is not as good as studying." Much simpler?"

With his body type, everyone believed that he was the son of a butcher's family.

Looking at him carelessly, going to sleep after eating and drinking, he really doesn't look like a serious candidate, and the number of people who look at him gradually decreases.

It may be because he, the "son of the butcher", confessed that he could not pass the exam, so he came to accompany the exam. The nearby candidates have a much higher opinion of him. After two days of boredom, he will come to talk to him and ask about radio gymnastics , After cooking, I can give Ye Cunshan something to eat, and pour a pot of hot tea.

When Ye Cunshan gets along with people, he depends on the attitude of the other person.

Treat him sincerely, and he can't expose his lies anymore. During the exam, he will mess up his mentality, so he said some chicken soup for the soul and ways to stabilize his mentality.

Cooperating with the deep breathing and meditation that Yuncheng taught him, the anxiety around him subsided a little.

The second exam went well.

In one article, there are five ways of imperial edict, edict, table, and sentence.

The exam time was the same. After the end of the day, the scholar sitting in the exam booth opposite Ye Cunshan asked him in surprise: "Why do you write so smoothly? You keep writing when I look up, and you keep writing when I look up again. You never stop."

Ye Cunshan: "Before I came in, I hugged myself and practiced writing a few articles. I copied them as soon as I could remember."

Candidates present: ...

When the exams here went smoothly, the things at home went through a new round of tidying up.

Ye Cunshan's books can be packed. Before putting them in, Yuncheng and Cunyin called Qinxue. With the help of Mr. Peng, they re-sorted them. Small labels were pasted on the spines to mark the numbers, representing the book number, and then cataloged. The booklet is indexed and sorted.

When he arrived in Kyoto, he would divide the bookshelves into areas, so that it would be easier to find books.

The bookshelf at home is small, so if you put a batch on it, you have to take some down.

It is difficult to find the books in the box, and I will definitely buy other books after I go to Kyoto. Yuncheng plans to build a big bookshelf.

He was busy with this matter during the day, but at night, when he was free, many uncontrollable thoughts popped up in his mind.

Two days ago, he slept with Cunyin in the same room, so he could chat and divert his attention at night.

But this kid was so energetic, Yuncheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he slept in a separate room with him.

Weird.

When chatting, he felt sleepy, and when he didn't chat, he was disturbed by messy thoughts and couldn't fall asleep when he closed his eyes.

Think of Ye Cunshan.

I don't know if he passed the exam or not, and I don't know if he will not be able to fall asleep after tossing and turning in such a narrow exam room.

I don't know if the wooden boards in that place are strong or not. Ye Cunshan is tall and he is much heavier than ordinary scholars. If the wooden boards collapse...

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't fall asleep, and I felt restless and hot when I thought about it too much.

Yun Cheng got up in the dark, lit a candle, and took a look at the window. The lights in the depository were all off.

It's not easy to bother, so he sits at the table and finds something to decompress.

The most convenient thing is to draw, you can do it with a pen and paper.

After getting it, he subconsciously painted Ye Cunshan, and the more he painted, the more he missed him.

He couldn't describe this feeling, remembering the last time we separated, in order to prevent these unreasonable misses, he wrote a script, and wrote Ye Cunshan in a hateful way, so he held back a little, and turned the script out to read.

He wrote a lot in July. In the book, the crematorium of Zhuangyuan Lang was about to end, so it was obviously not suitable for us to come here now.continue writing.

Yun Cheng stared at the upcoming happy ending above, thinking about the war between heaven and man.

It is very unprofessional to talk about a happy ending and then make troubles.

On the one hand, he said that he didn't publish it, but wrote what he read, so what happened?

In the end, professionalism prevailed, and he stopped messing around. After flipping through quickly, he found a few nasty scenes and drew sketches.

Put Ye Cunshan with others, if he can't do it, just paint this "scumbag" to grind him.

After three pictures, Yun Cheng calmed down and went to sleep.

Whether seven days is long or not, for many people, it passes in a blink of an eye.

For some, the days seem like years.

Candidates spend their days in it, the smelly environment is hot, stuffy and oppressive.

When there are exam papers, rack your brains.When there is no test paper, it is time to boil.

The family members of the candidates who are outside are also worried. Before the exam is over, they will never know the result, and they don't know whether the candidates will commit crimes and be kicked out halfway.

Yun Cheng's nervousness was at night, while Boss Xie was nervous day and night.

On the day when the township examination ended, several of them went to pick up people together. When they saw Boss Xie's people, they were all shocked by his haggard and emaciated face.

Boss Xie wiped his face, "I know the body is important, but I can't sleep, my mind is full of imperial examinations, it's too difficult."

Xie's family didn't put the pressure of study on Xie Yanqing, and the old father outside the court broke his heart alone.

Fortunately, his son is self-conscious and eager to learn, and his conduct is also good, otherwise it would be difficult and embarrassing.

On the way, they comforted Xie Boss. He said that it would be best if he didn't come today, because Xie Yanqing was afraid that he would feel stressed when he saw him like this.

After thinking about it, he felt that for such a big matter as the township examination, he would come to take it no matter what.

"I have grown up too, and I can stand things."

Nothing happened at home, it was nothing more than worrying about his future.

After the exam, nothing can be reversed, just follow the fate.

Those who took the exam did not continue to rub against Xie's family, they all hired someone.

I'm not sure if they will come out together, lest I pick up all the pick-ups, I don't say auspicious words immediately, and the process is missing.

There were a lot of people there, and they were all overwhelmed by those taking the exam.

The person they invited this time was a bodyguard master who came out of the bodyguard agency to earn extra money.

All of them were tall and big, and they squeezed in smoothly. They didn't look like they were here to take the exam, but they looked like they were here to find fault and fight.

Some people were dissatisfied with being squeezed away, and after taking a look at their physiques, they didn't dare to say anything.

When the examination room opens and the first batch of candidates come out, those who accept the examination will take a few steps forward, no matter whether the person to be accepted comes out or not, a good seat must be occupied.

Like the previous exams, Ye Cunshan and Du Zhichun were faster.

Be on the safe side, it will come out in the second batch. This time, I have been in it for too long, and I can't bear it personally.

After answering the question, check it carefully, copy it, and hand in the paper.

Waiting for all the people and the time is better than suffocating in the examination room.

Luo Xu also came out together. He ran away with him, so he stopped pretending to work hard and went home early to take a shower and sleep.

It's a pity that they came out and couldn't leave.

Forcibly surrounded by a group of messy test takers, and forced to listen to auspicious words in his ears, after the examination room closed, he waited for a moment of silence and had room to move forward.

As always, he still recognizes Ye Cunshan.

Ye Cunshan also knew some people in the security bureau, and he could greet them with eyes. After a few words, he took Du Zhichun and Luo Xu, two frail scholars, to the tea stand.

Boss Xie saw that there was no Xie Yanqing, so he took a big mouthful of crude tea and told them to go home first, "It's been hard work, you all go home and pack up and rest, the exams are over, the worst thing is that they will be helped out in the end."

It's good to be helped out, at least it can save you the trouble of finding your way, which is a good thing for Xie Yanqing.

The three scholars all had different concentrations of unpleasant smells, mixed with the smell of sweat, and looked tired, so they were not polite to him, and only said that they would drop by when they received them.

They all went the same way, but when they returned home, each family spoke their own words, and they didn't get together to chat.

Yuncheng shared with Cunyin, took the test basket and schoolbag from Ye Cunshan's hands, and asked him to hold them lightly.

The road was very noisy, so I asked a few words and went home first.

The hot water is being boiled at home in the morning, and it is stuffed in a bucket.

Now when I go back, I just poured it into the big bathtub, so I can take a comfortable bath.

When it's hot, it's uncomfortable to think about not washing for seven days.

He can do the job of pouring water by himself, Yuncheng told him to rest and eat a bowl of dumplings to fill his stomach before going.

It's not easy to soak when you're full. There are only eight dumplings, and you can eat half full.

Seeing Ye Cunshan come back, Yuanyuan ran towards him, wanting to hug him.

In the end, he was smelled by Ye Cunshan's body, and he stopped two steps away from Ye Cunshan abruptly, tears welled up in his eyes, and he didn't know whether to shed them or not.

Ye Cunshan asked Yuanyuan: "Don't remember me?"

The three-and-a-half-year-old Yuanyuan's endurance has improved a lot. Adults leave early and return late every day. She has also adapted to having only a small amount of time in a day to play with her. Every day I play with my dad and uncles.

Regarding Ye Cunshan's going out for the exam, Yuanyuan was told the truth several times by the car wheel, and when she knew that she would have to sleep six times, her father came back.

She wanted to see Ye Cunshan, and wished she could sleep six times a day, but she was told that sleeping in the dark would be effective.

It's okay to sleep in the dark, Yuanyuan sometimes wakes up hungry at night, which counts as two sleeps.

The result is not only going to sleep in the dark, but also waking up until dawn.

She was wronged and cried!

Generally speaking, there was no trouble, let alone just watching eagerly in the courtyard before it was time.

Yuanyuan stood where she was for a while, and then choked out a sentence: "You stink."

Ye Cunshan couldn't help laughing, knowing that Yuanyuan loves to be clean, he didn't hug her to tease the children, saying that it would smell good after washing.

Yuanyuan knows, she smells good even after washing.

A change of clothes is ready, and there is still a scent wafting from the kitchen, making people roll in their stomachs.

When he got to a place where he could take a bath, Ye Cunshan's body was more itchy than in the test shed.

He didn't even want to take a bath, so he poured water on his head if he wanted to carry a bucket of water.

After eating quickly, he went into the bathroom in the side room.

Wen Gu Zhixin had already poured water for him, Yuncheng reached out to test the temperature, thinking about the soothing effect of the hot bath, he chose a slightly hotter one.

He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and asked Ye Cunshan if he wanted to rub his back.

Yun Cheng's skin is fair, and the dark blue under his eyes is particularly obvious when he has not had a good rest.

He is thoughtful and delicate, and his ability to withstand stress is a bit weak. For him, these seven days are no easier than Ye Cunshan, a candidate.

Ye Cunshan didn't order him, "Prepare more cotton handkerchiefs, I have to wash my hair too."

No matter how early you come out, after all the tossing, it will be evening.

It is not good to dry your hair, and it is too hot to bake your hair, so use a cotton pad to absorb water.

These Yuncheng thought of it, and it was ready.

Seeing that Ye Cunshan began to take off his clothes and go into the bath, he didn't ask him to rub his back or say anything crooked, so Yuncheng didn't just watch here.

strange.

As soon as he went out, Cuyin still giggled, "Sister-in-law, don't you guys wash together?"

Where can this be washed together?

"When he went down, the water would turn black. I washed it for nothing."

After the wooden barrel was emptied, he stored a few barrels of hot water and brought it in when Ye Cunshan took a bath.

Ye Cunshan didn't soak in water, and he could rinse it off after soaking to wash off the dirty water on his body.

Yun Cheng went into the room and came out with some cotton handkerchiefs.

I buy a lot at home, mostly for wiping hair in winter.

The day of leaving was about to cool down, and I thought Ye Cunshan would use it, so he was outside.

Thinking that no one else would use it, Yuncheng took it all out.

Calculating that it was about the same time, I went to prepare vegetables.

Listen to Yuncheng today, just cook some home-cooked dishes, the taste doesn't need to be too strong.

In addition, hen soup was stewed, and the aroma made the children next door hang around the door several times.

This is enough for dinner, plus a cake.

The third session is the mid-autumn festival exam on August [-]th, which is Yuncheng's birthday.

Diluted by the township examination, in addition to cakes and mooncakes, Cun Yinxin made him a pencil case.

Nothing else, see if Ye Cunshan can remember.

Ye Cunshan's eyelids twitched after soaking in the bath.

When I first came in, I felt hot. After I got used to the temperature, I leaned against the wall of the pool, and I felt the exhaustion all over my body was washed away, and the soreness hidden in the bones was soaked out, and the whole person was very comfortable.

There was no one inside, he was afraid that he would oversleep with his eyes closed, which would be worrying, so he slept without soaking in water, and scrubbed his body and hair after he calmed down.

After washing, I want to rinse again, see two half buckets of cold water, and two full buckets of hot water, Ye Cunshan mixed half, and took a lukewarm shower.

It was still dark when we went out, Yun Cheng tidied up the bamboo bed, and asked him if he wanted to eat more, "Shall I have some soup? The chicken soup is ready."

Ye Cunshan didn't drink, "I'm not very hungry."

Then Yuncheng told him to lie down, wiped his hair, and rubbed his head along the way to relax.

Ye Cunshan reached out and rubbed Yuncheng's head, "Don't be too busy, you also rest, I think you are tired too."

Yuncheng's tiredness is different from Ye Cunshan's.

He stayed up late at midnight every day, finished writing Ye Cunshan's storybook about being a heartbreaker, and even ran to draw a picture of how scumbag he was. At this time, he was both concerned and guilty.

Ye Cunshan said a few words to him and asked Yuanyuan to come over.

He didn't lie down, he just sat on the side of the bamboo bed, Yuanyuan wanted to hug him, Ye Cunshan didn't wipe his hair with empty hands, Yuncheng walked around behind him and wiped it for him.

Ye Cunshan asked Yuncheng if he wanted to watch the moon at night, and Yuncheng just asked him how the exam was going.

The couple asked questions at the same time, they were both stunned for a while, and then said together: "You speak first."

Later, Ye Cunshan said first that it was about his exam, and his family was worried about it.

"Everything went well. I answered all the exam questions very well. It depends on what comments the examiner is willing to give."

He feels very good about himself, he will answer when everything goes well, and his mentality is very stable, not to mention that he has performed supernormally, at least at his usual level.

According to the results of the usual exams, his grades will be at the top.

However, there are excellent students from all over the province in the exam, and the number of admissions is limited. The essay will be affected by the examiner's preferences, and there are variables.

He can't come by intuition, he can only take the exam a few times and have experience.

The current experience is all given by mock exams, and I am very conservative: "I can pass the exam."

That's enough.

The author has something to say:

qwq Tenosynovitis is a bit serious, my palms and fingers are stiff and painful, I don’t dare to move after putting plaster on during the day, and I write slowly at night. In my case, the update volume is not stable, and it may end a few days later than expected, sorry Everyone
