The rise of the poor

Chapter 67 The toad also wants the imperial examination

What an unlovable stinky girl!

Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, looked away from the black-bellied girl Li Shu, ignored the girl who was spoiled by her family, and then saw that the steamed bun maid Hua'er was still staring at him with curiosity and admiration, Could not help laughing.

"I watch the sky at night, and I figure it out, it will snow today."

Zhu Ping'an patted off the snowflakes on his body, and answered the question of the bun maid Hua'er just as seriously as a magic stick.

The bun maid Hua'er blinked her eyes with a bewildered look on her face.

"Idiot Hua'er, what he wrote is 'It's snowing today', and you can only open it when it's snowing, can't you tell me!" Li Shu couldn't help but stretched out her slender hand and tapped the bun girl's forehead.

Baozi's maid, Hua'er, touched her forehead aggrieved, and thought for a while, then she suddenly raised her head and suddenly realized, puffed up her cheeks, and glared at Zhu Ping'an with both eyes, "Oh, so I've been fooled by you again!"

Zhu Ping'an didn't look away, he couldn't help laughing.

"You bad guy, I won't give you anything to eat today!" Hua'er, the bun maid, said angrily.

The old mother behind the black-bellied girl Li Shu and the other little girls all laughed. There were no entertainment programs in ancient times, and these people still expected Zhu Ping'an to borrow books.Every time I come to borrow books and return them, as long as I bring some snacks and delicacies, I can exchange for Zhu Ping'an to tell stories, or ghosts or martial arts, but this kid is very picky, but he brings it every time he paints. Snacks and delicacies are always good, and Hu'er is always the most active, so it's funny to hear Hu'er say no to food.

The study of the rich man's house is very elegant and spacious, and the collection of books is also very rich. Every time there are books that attract Zhu Ping'an's attention.

There is a white-bearded account room in the study room. Zhu Ping'an entered the study room and returned the books he borrowed last time from the schoolbag he slung with him. After checking by the white-bearded account room, he can go in and select the books to borrow this time. .

"Well, An Ge'er is a book lover. How about it? The boy will try it out in a few months, so he wants to try his skills?" Whitebeard's accountant asked jokingly after checking that the books were in good condition.

The Boys’ Examination, also known as the Children’s Examination, is commonly known as the Examination of Talents. It is divided into three stages: “County Examination”, “Prefectural Examination” and “House Examination”.The county examination is conducted in each county and presided over by the county magistrate.This dynasty is generally held in February every year, with five consecutive exams.After passing, the government examination hosted by the officials of the government will be held in April, and there will be three consecutive exams.Those who pass the county and government examinations can be called "tongsheng", and participate in the college examinations hosted by the provincial Xuezheng or Xuedao.Those selected in the college examination are called students (scholars).No.1 in the township examination is called Jieyuan.

Zhu Ping'an's uncle passed the county and prefectural examinations and was given the title of Tongsheng, but he never passed the hospital examination. Since Zhu Ping'an's family was separated, the uncle took the imperial examinations twice. The halberd sinks into the sand.In a few months, it will be another triennial boy test, and the uncle will also participate. There are rumors that the uncle threatened to pass this time and so on.

As for whether Zhu Ping'an will participate this time.
"What about the boy's test? Well, it seems that my teacher said a few days ago that I didn't plan to let the boy go, but a senior brother, Shouxiao, couldn't take the test at home, and he had to take the test with five people for joint insurance, and there was a shortage of one place. , My teacher said that I want the boy to experience the imperial examination, learn from experience, and not panic when he takes the test in the future. Hehe, the boy is just making up the numbers, just to learn the experience of failure."

Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment, then narrated the words of his mentor, Old Master Sun, and smiled at himself at the end.

All candidates who take the boy's test must register with the office of the county, and fill in their name, place of origin, age, and three generations of resumes.Students who apply for the exam must have a joint insurance for five people who are taking the same exam, and they must also have a junior student in the county as a guarantor to issue a guarantee, which is called "recognized guarantee".Zhu Ping'an's mentor, Old Master Sun, is a student who has the qualification to guarantee. At first, he did not plan to let Zhu Ping'an go, but only one of the five people who originally served as guarantees went to keep his filial piety. .I didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to pass the exam at all, he was just making up the numbers.

"Yo, the toad still has self-knowledge. If you can pass the test, a bad boy like you who deceives little girls, unless the sun hits the west. If you want me to say that you make up the number, you are flattering you, only Wen Quxing can pass the test. Come on, you are a toad."

As soon as Zhu Ping'an's voice fell, Li Shu, the black-bellied girl who followed behind, sneered.

After the black-bellied girl Li Shu finished speaking, she laughed while looking at Zhu Ping's dazed appearance, and then the old mother and the little maids behind her all laughed.

Although the words of the black-bellied girl made him a little uncomfortable, it was also pleasing to see so many girls laughing in front of him.

Zhu Ping'an just smiled faintly.

Then I went to the study room to choose the books I needed. Because the exam was about to take place, Zhu Ping'an generally chose the four books, five classics, and eight-legged texts. The ancient imperial examination also had teaching materials. Don't think that the four books and five classics are the same. The note and the note made by Su Shi are two versions.The book "The Moderate Mean" that Zhu Ping'an selected this time was an annotation made by Zhu Xi.

Borrow only one copy at a time

This rule came from Li Shu, the black-bellied girl who laughed at her just now. The rich man Li wished to spoil her to the sky, so he naturally nodded and settled on this rule.

Borrowing a good book, the black-bellied girl did not let Zhu Ping'an leave, she had to tell a story.Don't borrow books without telling stories.

People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, so Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to continue to talk about the eight parts of Tianlong that were not finished last time.

The little maid and the old mother also moved over stools and chairs with ease, took out snacks, and sat in a row.

This time I offended the bun maid Hua'er, and I didn't have any snacks to eat, but the black-bellied girl deliberately let the kitchen cook hot shabu-shabu, thin slices of mutton, fish and vegetables, set up a table, greeted Hua'er and a few others. The little maids gathered around the table and listened to the stories while cooking the mutton hot pot, and smacking their lips on purpose, which made Zhu Ping'an salivate.

On snowy days, it seems that shabu-shabu is the best match.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know how many times he swallowed his saliva.

The bun maid, Hua'er, stuffed the mutton with a bulge in her mouth, watched Zhu Ping'an wave her hand, and muttered, "Don't think about it, I won't give you anything to eat this time."

"No, I don't want to eat, please give me a handkerchief." Zhu Ping'an shook his head.

"What?"

The painting asked in confusion.

"When you see you eating, wipe your saliva."

Zhu Pingan glanced at them and said lightly.

drool

Hearing this, the girl who was eating shabu-shabu let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.

"Look at your unpromising appearance, you still want to take the imperial examination, I have never seen any Wenquxing so unpromising!" Li Shu, a black-bellied girl, gave Zhu Ping'an a disgusting glance, and was very contemptuous of his unpromising, "You The sound of swallowing is unpleasant!"

Speaking of this, the black-bellied girl pointed to an old woman and said, "Go and ask the chef to bring a pot."
