Great Song

Although it was agreed with Shen Kuo to accept more manuscripts and publish them on a monthly basis, the actual implementation will have to wait.It's almost the end of the new year, so it's time to take a break and deal with some housework.In the end, all the tossing around the New Year's Eve, the court meeting, and the congratulations were over, and Zhen Qiong lay on the bed again, not wanting to move.

The room was full of smoke, and the brocade quilt on her body was soft. Zhen Qiong curled up on the bed in a daze, ready to go back to sleep again.In the dimness, a hand stroked his waist lightly, before he could dodge, it circled around and placed it on his belly.The hand was big and warm, but not annoying.Zhen Qiong only felt more sleepy for a while, her hands holding the quilt loosened, and she leaned against the chest of the man behind her.

Seeing his appearance, the people behind couldn't help laughing: "Is Qiong'er really going to lie on the bed for a day?"

why not.Zhen Qiong grunted, but she didn't know if she had said anything.For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, it’s hard to take a vacation, isn’t it a good idea to stay in bed?But after all, he was too lazy to open his mouth, so he just buried his head a little deeper, as if he was about to fall asleep in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Han Miao didn't say much anymore, and slightly folded his arms, making the two of them stick closer together.Warm and soft in the arms, the brocade quilt is light and warm, and even the annoying sound of firecrackers has disappeared.This kind of morning light should really make up for sleep.After a year, he was busy making money, Qiong Er was busy making alchemy, how many free days would there be?What visiting congratulations to friends, going to the market to go shopping, is not as comfortable as a good night's sleep.

After crossing out all the arrangements in his mind, Han Miao also hugged him openly and fell asleep again.This sleep made my muscles and bones sore and limp, and no one came to call me until the sun was high.

When Zhen Qiong was pulled up, he was still sleepy, and the steaming towel was put on him, which woke him up a little.

Han Miao wiped his face with a smile, and said, "Grandmother said that since we are all at home, we might as well have dinner together. Hurry up and tidy up. Today is a porpoise, so don't miss it."

She went to bed right away, and now that she heard that there was a roast suckling pig, Zhen Qiong couldn't help cheering up, and quickly washed and changed her clothes.Not long after, the two changed into new clothes and headed to the main hall.

Mrs. Han and Mrs. Han Xia were already waiting in the hall. Seeing the two coming together, Mrs. Han said with a smile: "How old are you, and you still stay in bed? Sit down quickly and have a drink first." A soup that nourishes the stomach."

Han Miao answered with a smile, and sat at the table with Zhen Qiong, and drank the tea soup brought by the maid.The stomach, which hadn't reacted at all, immediately became hungry after a cup of warm soup.Zhen Qiong's eyes twinkled, she looked at the table with some cold dishes and fruits for a while, and looked outside the door for a while.

Seeing this, Mrs. Han laughed, "Okay, let's order someone to serve."

With the order of the old lady, the steaming hot dishes were brought up like flowing water.Zhen Qiong didn't care about the others, the suckling pig, which was more than a foot long, roasted golden brown, crispy and fragrant, was the delicacy he wanted.Unexpectedly, the roast suckling pig had just been put down, and before everyone moved their chopsticks, Ma Sanniang who was sitting opposite suddenly covered her nose, turned her head and retched.

Han Xia was taken aback, and hurriedly supported his wife: "What's wrong? But what's wrong?"

Ma Sanniang covered her mouth with her sleeve, shook her head again and again, unable to speak.Old Mrs. Han was unruffled when she was in danger, she only took one look, and immediately said: "Remove the porpoise first, and let people open the window to let the air out!"

The servant immediately removed the roasted suckling pig exuding a strong meaty aroma. Zhen Qiong looked dazed, and before she could figure out what the retching had to do with the roasted suckling pig, Mrs. Han had already walked up to her granddaughter-in-law and took a picture of her. He patted his back and asked softly, "Is it better now?"

Ma Sanniang seemed to have recovered, with tears in her eyes, she said helplessly, "Grandmother, this is..."

Mrs. Han whispered something in her ear, the other party froze for a moment, blushed suddenly, and nodded.Only then did Mrs. Han heave a sigh of relief, she smiled and said to the three bewildered and anxious men present, "Sanniang is probably pregnant, so I can't smell meat."

Han Xia was so stunned by this sentence, he just stared blankly at his wife, and his supporting hands trembled.Han Miao reacted faster, and immediately said after regaining his senses: "I'm going to invite Imperial Physician Qian..."

"It's Chinese New Year, how can there be a reason to invite someone at this time?" Mrs. Han had already sat next to her grandson-in-law, and while patting her arm comfortingly, she said softly, "Don't be afraid, Sanniang, she just got pregnant. After all, there will be some changes in the diet. Just tell me what you want to eat, and people will prepare it."

Ma Sanniang is a calm and sensible person, she can't be picky about food, she just blushed and shook her head: "Except for not being able to smell the meat, there is nothing I want to eat..."

Mrs. Han breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "It's good not to be picky eaters. Come here and prepare some soup, which tastes lighter."

A well-organized arrangement immediately dispelled the panic, leaving only real joy.This is the first child of the Han family, who can be unhappy?Han Xia couldn't let go of his wife's hand at this moment, his face was full of joy and fear, and he kept asking questions, not even receiving Ma Sanniang's embarrassing hints, which seemed a bit ridiculous.

Han Miao breathed a sigh of relief, a little happy and a little sad. When he turned his head to look at the people around him, his expression softened suddenly, and he held Zhen Qiong's hand under the table.

Zhen Qiong had regained her senses at this moment, and asked curiously, "Brother Miao, what's the matter?"

Seeing his still clear eyes, which could see through his thoughts at a glance, Han Miao couldn't help laughing, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Do you still want to eat Paopu?"

think!Zhen Qiong nodded without hesitation.

"I'll have someone deliver it to the house at night, how about we close the door and eat secretly?" Han Miao smiled even wider.

Hey, Brother Miao is still thoughtful!Zhen Qiong just rushed over and rubbed it, and immediately put the remaining entanglements behind her, and held the chopsticks with the joyful Han family, enjoying the family banquet.

Knowing that his wife was pregnant, Han Xia was at a loss for a few days.Fortunately, both grandmother and wife are sensible people, after the seventh day of junior high school, they drove this troublesome idiot back to the study, so that he could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

The sudden restructuring of Taixue this time gave the students a chance to choose.The examination in Taixue was placed before Chunwei.Those students who are qualified to participate in the upper hall, if they can pass the examination of Taixue, they can be directly awarded officials.If you fail the exam, you can also take another Ritual Examination.In this way, there is no doubt that everyone has an extra chance.

Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Han Xia neglect it?Now he has obtained fame not only for his family, but also for his wife and unborn child. He only wished that his head would hang on his head, and he didn't even dislike the exercise book given by Zhen Qiong, so he worked diligently to make up for it.

A mere ten or so days passed by in a flash. After the end of Shangyuan and the start of Taixue, the big exam was ushered in, and this time a subject of counting was added.

Even counting half a year since the beginning of the course, the lecturers have carefully made up the homework for these Taixue students, but there are still many people who are trembling in the examination room.But when Han Xia faced the test paper, he was unexpectedly calm.At a glance, they are all exercises that I have practiced countless times. Even if the values ​​​​have changed and the stems of the questions have been refurbished, they are just the steps to solve the problems.A list of calculations on scratch paper will give you the answer.

Han Xia was the first to answer this daunting math test in half an hour, and was the first to hand in the test paper after the check was correct.

As a result, when he got out of the list, he passed the fifth place in the Shangshe Examination, but after calculation, he held the top of the list, and he could be directly appointed as an official.

Hearing the news of the announcement, Han Xia was really excited.After returning home and telling my grandmother and wife, I was the first one to find Zhen Qiong, and bowed deeply: "Thank you brother for letting Mingyue make up lessons for me, and also giving me exercises, which made me get such good grades!"

Zhen Qiong immediately puffed up her chest when she heard the words: "Is my method useful? It's a good thing you are too learned to use the new teaching plan, otherwise, would you be able to take the first or second exam!"

The revision of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" proposed by Shen Kuo is still slowly advancing.Taixue did not change the teaching plan as he said, which made Han Xia take advantage of it.Originally, Han Xia secretly slandered Zhen Qiong for scaring him with words, but now that he knew that he had won the benefit alone, he couldn't help sighing: "Brother, this new lesson plan is really useful. If others can benefit from it before the exam, I think it will come soon." I can't get a result like this..."

He just sighed with emotion, but Zhen Qiong blinked her eyes and asked suddenly: "Are you going to take the math test in the future?"

Han Xia didn't know why, so she answered honestly: "The Taixue still has to take the exam. In the future, there will be more people, and I'm afraid they will only use math to get scholars."

As the beneficiary of this decree, how could Han Xia not know the importance of mathematics to future generations?But for those who are not top-notch in Confucian classics, this is also a way to get in.

Zhen Qiong immediately cheered up when she heard the words: "If it is really so useful, I will ask Mingyue to compile the textbooks, publish them and sell them! By the way, it is best for you to mention another word and write a slogan of 'the first half a year of tutoring'" , it might sell well!"

Han Xia was stunned when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he felt that what he said made sense.Nowadays, "Shiwen" is popular in the market, and there are many books on how to write essays for the priests, and there are also some books such as "Poetry Arsenal" and "Jingqi" that teach people how to write poems.What's more, unscrupulous booksellers will extract the exquisite sentences in the Jinshi's essays, and compile them into volumes by category, so that some scholars can plagiarize.As for those brochures written in small print, it is convenient for scholars to bring them into the venue, let alone.

Nowadays, since Taixue has to test mathematics, it seems that it is not impossible to get a textbook for this course?

However, having said that, Han Xia still said decisively: "Brother can publish books, inscriptions and so on. I really don't dare to take credit for it..."

Seeing his younger brother avoiding him, Han Miao almost didn't laugh out loud.Fortunately, he still took care of Han Xia's face, stopped Zhen Qiong, and persuaded: "Shu Yuan is also going to be an official, so how can we publicize this? Print it out later, and let him tell his classmates at Taixue."

Zhen Qiong heard the words and then gave up resentfully: "Then print less. I don't know when "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" will be revised. When it is revised, the book will not be easy to sell."

After all, their side is based on the teaching plans of Yixue, and it is definitely not as complete as the set made by Shen Kuo and the others.It’s okay if there is no promotion now, but sales will definitely drop after promotion, right?

Han Miao raised his eyebrows: "Since it's a book compiled by Brother Cunzhong and the others, it's nothing to print a problem set. Why don't you make a name for yourself first, Qiong'er, and then cooperate with Brother Cunzhong to publish it in the future."

Already going to print "Theory of Creation" with the other party, it doesn't seem to be a big deal in many math textbooks?Zhen Qiong nodded immediately: "Brother Miao is better!"

Han Xia: "..."

Well, anyway, he has already passed the test.It has nothing to do with him no matter how much the students in the Taixue are tortured in the future.
