[Comprehensive wear] Baiwei life

The next autumn will be the provincial examination. This is the third time Lin Xi has participated in the provincial examination. Compared with the confidence in the first two times, Lin Xi's mood this time can be said to be quite disturbed.

Ever since his cousin became a scholar, although he didn't live in the big house, he always went there every now and then, intentionally or unintentionally, he would come up with some articles to discuss, and he even took the opportunity to read articles written by his cousin.

He really believes that there are geniuses in this world. Even after his cousin passed the trinity, he was already mentally prepared for this, but when he really realized his cousin's current level, he realized that hard work can make up for one's weakness This sentence cannot be placed on ordinary people and geniuses at all.

Obviously he started to study hard earlier than his cousin, and he has never stopped studying for more than ten years, but there is a clear difference in the level of the two people now, they are not on the same level at all, and the other party is making rapid progress. No matter how hard you try, let alone catch up with other people's progress, even if you don't want to fall behind so fast, there is nothing you can do.

This feeling of powerlessness, accumulated over time, was like straws on a camel's body, and it was unclear when the last one would be let down, crushing him completely.

Fortunately, before the rural examination, these powerlessness and setbacks are not the last straw. Lin Xi is now waiting for the provincial examination to give him a shot in the arm, so that he can relax psychologically and firmly believe that he is the only male protagonist in the world. It's useless, even if it's time travel, it's more like cannon fodder than the protagonist.

This time the two cousins ​​were traveling together, and Lin Ze felt that he could handle everything well, so he didn't let his father follow him at all, and it saved him from being busy when he didn't help, but had to deal with the mess instead.

It's really not that Lin Ze underestimated his father. The other party really has this ability. To put it bluntly, he is innocent, but to put it bluntly, he is dull and stupid. He will count money for others after being sold. .

In this era, the old man is really talented in teaching children to be able to teach his son to be a fool, and he has been a fool for decades.

So Lin Ze resolutely refused his father's company, and there must always be a man in the house to frighten Xiao Xiao. Of course, after he left, his mother and his wife had to be the masters of the house.

Before the departure this time, Lin Dali deliberately called the two families together, whether it was to cheer up or win people's hearts, the effect was quite obvious to Lin Shi and Lin Mu, but to the two parties involved, it was just Let's just go through the motions, and don't care about it at all.

Lin Mu and Lin Xi, father and son, are familiar with the road along the way. It is clear where there is an inn, where there is a restaurant, and how long the road will take. If you suffer more crimes on the road, it will never be easier than it is now.

During this year, including on the way to rush for the exam, Lin Ze could notice that his cousin was getting closer to him intentionally or unintentionally. Compared with the treatment he received before passing the exam as a scholar, it was completely different.

Lin Ze didn't say he was disappointed, he was very tired of this matter anyway, he wasn't interested in such brotherhood, even for the original body who fainted and died in the field, it was impossible for him to get close to his cousin.

In the same way, he doesn't have a good impression of Lin Dali, or even his father Lin Shi, and now it's just a matter of face, and he can't be a filial son, but compared to the two, the latter is more important to him , After all, he is a person who can be fooled, to some extent it is quite pitiful.

However, only Lin Ze felt that his father was raised with such a pitiful character, but others didn't think so. In the past, everyone only envied the second room's Lin Mu, who gave birth to a good son. An unimaginable way and speed to catch up.

Compared with "planting flowers to get flowers, sowing beans to get beans", what everyone envies more is "unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade".

What is enviable is yet to come. The township examination held every three years can be said to have baffled the vast majority of scholars. Many scholars can only stop here, even those who have always been known as child prodigies Lin Xi also failed in this round one after another.

Of course, Lin Xi's reputation as a child prodigy only spread to the surrounding townships, not widely. After successive failures in the township examinations, this so-called child prodigy's name was greatly reduced.

The township examination this time can be said to have tugged at the heartstrings of the entire Lin family. During the days waiting for the results to be released, everyone was counting their fingers to get by, but the only ones who could see the list with their own eyes were Lin Mu, Lin Ze and Lin Xi, three uncles and nephews. indivual.

On the huge list, the most conspicuous is the first name, and the luckiest one is probably the last one. It just so happens that there are two cousins, one at the head and one at the end.

The first thing Lin Xi saw was his cousin's name, Yiqi Juechen, placed at the top, this is the first name Jieyuan, he dreamed of it many years ago, but it is a ranking that he can't even imagine these years.

Lin Xi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, probably because he was used to being beaten by his cousin this year, but now he was able to calm down and continue to search for his name in the list.

It's been three battles for him, and if he still fails, he's really not sure if he still has the courage to make a comeback.

Fortunately, from the top of the list to the bottom of the list, Lin Xi's mood was like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, and when he finally saw his name, his mind was dazed, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Not only Lin Xi cried, but Lin Mu also wiped his tears beside him after confirming that his son was Zhongju.

Lin Ze couldn't bear to look directly, his heart was calm, his face was very calm, he turned around and left, there are so many people here, he might as well go back to sleep.

I don't know if Wang Xiucai passed the provincial examination this time, because Wang Xiucai's household registration is not in the local area, so whether it is the previous county examination, government examination, courtyard examination, or the current rural examination, he has to go back to his place of origin to take the examination.

Nowadays, the transmission of information can only rely on letters, and the speed of the back and forth is really unflattering. Lin Ze estimates that it will take at least half a month to get the news. After all, if Wang Xiucai wants to rush to the county, it will be faster than him. farther.

However, he has confidence in Wang Xiucai's knowledge, and he must be able to win the election. As for the specific ranking, it depends on luck and on-site performance.

I have to say that my cousin's luck has always been good. This time, he was also at the bottom of the crane in the provincial examination. No. 1 in the vice-ranking list is an old scholar with gray hair. Look at how old he was last year.

Therefore, it is difficult to say which of these two people's essays is better. After all, the examiner will also consider age when ranking the final rankings.

Those who are too young may press down a bit, so as not to be frivolous when they are young and proud.

Those who are too old, and those who are old, have no need to be admitted to a certain extent. After all, even if they win the exam, they will not be an official for a few years. It is even more unrealistic to continue to take the entrance examination and take the general examination. up.

It may also be because of this reason that it is very difficult to see an elderly person pass the exam in each provincial examination.

After Lin Xi learned that No.1 in the vice list was an old scholar, he also felt lucky for himself, but at the same time he was a little scared.

Fortunately, it's over. The later the test, the more aura and talent are needed. Lin Xi looked at his name at the bottom of the list, then at his cousin's name at the top of the list, and at the name of his cousin on the sub-list. That old scholar.

Well, it’s better not to take the exam, shit luck can only go once, next time you won’t be so lucky, if you insist on taking the exam, maybe you will end up like this old scholar. For most of my life, I may have reached my talent in the end, but I have also reached my age, and I will not be admitted.

It's so sad, if this kind of thing happened to him, Lin Xi would be able to suffocate himself to death, so he just let it go.

Anyway, after winning the Juren, you can also become an official through other means. Although it is not as good as the Jinshi, the future is bright, but ordinary people have ordinary people's way to go. Besides, he has a cousin, so it may not be the same in the future. Worse than a serious Jinshi.

When the news came that the two grandsons had won the election, Lin Dali was doing farm work in the field. There was no other way, neither of the two sons could come back to help, and the family really had no money, so he couldn't save some for himself. The coffin book was brought out, so he had to do more work by himself.

After working farm work for most of the day, Lin Dali was sweating all over. At this moment, he suddenly heard the good news brought by the yamen servant.

I was really too excited, and I was too tired during this time, the sun was shining and dazzling, I couldn't hold on, and I fainted to death in the ground. It was a coincidence that my head happened to be smashed on the hoe, and I fell directly on the ground. A bloody hole was smashed out.

But scaring the people around is a good thing, but don't turn it into a funeral.

Fortunately, the doctor invited him in time. Although Lin Dali bled a lot from his head, his life was not in danger. It was just that he hit his head with a hoe, but he was not stupid, but his legs couldn't move anymore. , and there is no feeling at all, and I want to lift my legs up, but I don't know where to put my strength.

It's a strange thing. Doctors have never heard of such a disease, let alone cured it.
