Chapter 100
"What is Thirteen thinking about so preoccupied?"

Master Qin tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks, waited for his son to look over, and motioned him to look at his hand that had not been raised for a long time:
"Can you eat with your eyes? Move your chopsticks."

Qin Shisan randomly picked up a chopstick dish and stuffed it into his mouth, but he didn't chew it, looking like he was wandering away.

After a while, he murmured and asked:
"Father, you are very knowledgeable, how about I ask you a question?"

Master Qin glanced at his son, beckoning him to say.

"Dad, have you ever seen such a thing that is neither brick nor porcelain, it is like mud when it is soft, and it is like a rock when it is hard. Once it is formed, it will not melt in water and will not break for decades."

Master Qin: "."

Even if your father and I are knowledgeable, this is not included.

Qin Shisan didn't pay attention to his father's expression at all, and continued to think and talk.

"Brother Xiaoliang said that he once saw something called cement, which is very good for paving floors and roads. It is not difficult to make, but she only remembers the approximate raw materials, not the specific ratio—"

Qin Shisan didn't know how to explain the situation.

Xiao Si'er approached him, said a lot of words that made him confused, and finally asked him if he had seen this thing in Yuandu.

Before setting off, Bai Fu told Xiao Si'er the materials and approximate proportions, and asked him and Old Carpenter Li to adjust the weights until the finished product was finished.

However, the finished products made by the old Li craftsman are either shapeless, or they melt when exposed to water, or they are not hard enough.
In short, it is different from Bai Fu's description.

Old Carpenter Li was a little discouraged, suspecting that there was no such thing at all, and Xiao Si'er was so anxious that he couldn't help it, so they all asked him.

"I only know the general ingredients, but not the specific formula ratio. Zi Yan, tell me, isn't this equivalent to a doctor who only knows the composition of a prescription, but doesn't know how to make it accurately?"

Dean Qin was twisting a chess piece in his hand, dropped a piece with a smile, and commented on what his son asked him:
"It's normal to fail if you act like this."

Mr. Fei didn't take the chess pieces, but stared at the chessboard thoughtfully.

"Indeed."

After a while he said:
"But since some people say they have seen this thing, then this thing must exist for craftsmen to study in this area, and sooner or later they will make a finished product, benefiting one party, and a mere failure is nothing."

Master Qin thought the same way and nodded.

"Zi Yan is really transparent, one point is clear." Then he changed the topic, "It's a pity that you are so talented and knowledgeable, but you are wasted in my small academy. It's a pity, a pity."

"teacher praise"

Mr. Fei stretched out his hand to fetch the chess pieces, and smiled faintly:
"If Bailu College dares to call it a small academy, how can this make other colleges feel embarrassed?"

Although Bailu Academy is far away from Yuandu, its reputation has long been spread far and wide in Yuandu. There are not a few important officials of the aristocratic families in Yuandu who send their nephews to Bailu Academy to study.

These famous sons came to Bailu Town, bought houses and land, spent money like water, and contributed a lot to Raozhou's finances.

His good friend Xu Zhizhou sighed in his ear more than once, that when he was young, he was taught by his mentor, but now he is an official, he can still be taken care of by his mentor.

"Teachers are the blessings of great students." Mr. Fei said seriously.

Master Qin just smiled and said nothing.

"Daddy"

Xiao Si found it after school, followed by Ah Li, "Brother Luo Jin finished his exam today, Xiao Liang's house is hosting a celebration banquet, can I go?"

Mr. Fei looked up and said oh.

"The exam is over so soon?"

"Where is it fast?" Xiao Si pouted, "I've been counting with my fingers for a long time."

Xiao Liang told her early on that when brother Luo Jin finished his exams and he could have a celebration banquet, sisters Erya and Sanya would come back and cook for themselves.

Since Xiaobai left, she hasn't eaten the big meal made by sister Erya Sanya for a long time, and she has been thinking about it all the time. She didn't even eat two bites for lunch today, and she just wanted to keep her stomach open to eat at night.

Master Qin shook his head.

"Ziyan doesn't pay attention to scientific examinations now, so he naturally feels happy. The students and family members who participated in Qiuwei this time may feel that their days are like years."

"How do you say that?" Mr. Fei asked casually.

The old servant beside him smiled and continued.

"Young Master Fei, I don't know. The weather is very abnormal this year. We feel fine on this mountain. According to feedback from the examination institute, the dormitory was as hot as a steamer at first, and then the temperature suddenly dropped after it rained. Many candidates couldn't stand the temperature difference. It's not sick, it's not playing well."

He was also a person who had participated in the scientific examination before, Mr. Fei immediately understood, and said with emotion:
"That will really hurt the examinees."

"You can't say that," Master Qin said, "The scientific examination is not only about knowledge."

What is the test if the scientific test does not test knowledge?
Xiaosi was a little curious, but was quickly overwhelmed by the urgency to go to the banquet, "Daddy, I'm going."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for an answer, he bowed and ran quickly with his short legs.

Mr. Fei waved his hand, and Ah Li followed out with a bow.

Walking out of the examination room with Huang Qiuyang, Luo Jin looked back at the examination room.

Candidates came out one after another. Different from the expressions of joy or frustration in the previous two times, the students who came out this time were either sullen or pale.

Although it was the first time to participate in Qiuwei, Luo Jin guessed from what he had seen and heard in the past few days that this was probably the most tragic scientific examination.

"Thanks to Mr. Huang this time." Luo Jin cupped his hands to Huang Qiuyang beside him.

Coincidentally, in the third exam, he and Huang Qiuyang were also assigned to a company. Although the houses were no longer adjacent to each other, they were not far apart. During the rest time, the two of them drank and ate noodles together.

The temperature suddenly dropped the day before yesterday, Huang Qiuyang even borrowed his quilt and robe, otherwise he might have a headache like other candidates.

Huang Qiuyang smiled back:

"Brother Luo, you're being polite. Without your medicine and noodles, I'm afraid I'm going to give up the exam halfway."

It was a surprise to him that he could persist until the end.

The two walked out talking and laughing, forgetting the noise at the entrance of the examination institute.

"Brother Qiuyang"

With the support of her maidservant, Huang Ling'er swayed forward to meet her.

When he got closer, he seemed to see someone next to him, bowed slightly, and said shyly:
"It turns out that my brother has a companion."

Huang Qiuyang smiled knowingly.

"Sister, this is my classmate of Bailu College, Mr. Luo"

As he spoke, he turned to Luo Jin, "Brother Luo, this is the younger sister who prepares cold drinks and hot soup for me."

Luo Jin cupped his hands, "It turns out that brother and sister Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Just as Huang Ling'er showed a shy and elegant smile, she was interrupted by a loud and warm greeting, "Brother Huang!"

Seeing that it was Lai Gu, Huang Qiuyang smiled, his eyes fell on the parcel behind Lai Gu, and asked with a smile:

"Brother Lai finished all the steamed buns this time?"

Lai Gu smiled foolishly.

"This time, the amount of questions is large. The more you write, the more you eat. It's almost not enough. I only left three to eat this morning, and now I'm hungry again."

Thinking of the expression of the invigilator on Lai Gu's side, Huang Qiuyang laughed disregarding his image, and Luo Jin knew what he was laughing at, so he couldn't help it.

"Brother Lai's answer to that question is good or bad?" Luo Jin asked casually.

The third test question is for candidates to express their opinions or opinions based on current affairs and government affairs at that time. I don’t know who came up with this test question. This year, there is a very tricky question. Many candidates were blown out.

Which examiner who is not afraid of death came up with such a sharp and sensitive question?

Don't follow the routine
In the past, it was a matter of people's livelihood. Candidates inquired about the preferences of the examiners in advance, in order to cater to the preferences of the examiners as much as possible when answering the questions.

But the problem is that streamlining the army is not an ordinary issue of people's livelihood. It cannot be determined by the preferences of the reviewers, but mainly depends on the attitude of the court.

What is the court's attitude?

That depends on which court.

Now the court is divided into two factions.

His Majesty's faction believes that the national treasury is empty, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous age, so it should be streamlined.

The regent's faction believed that the war ten years ago was due to the reduction of the Daye Kingdom's army, which strengthened the courage of the foreign thieves. In order to maintain the peace and prosperity, the army must be maintained.

Both factions account for part of the truth, and both viewpoints can actually be written.

But the Ministry of Rites is now the domain of the Prince Regent, and the Tribute Court belongs to the Ministry of Rites
So candidates who are not stupid know how to choose——
Compliment first, and then focus on the disadvantages of writing, so as to appease the faction of His Majesty and show loyalty to the faction of the Regent.

"I wrote it well," Lai Gu said.

Huang Qiuyang and Luo Jin looked at each other.

This naive big brother, I am afraid that he will take the steamed bun to take the exam again.

A few people exchanged a few words and then dispersed.

Watching Luo Jin go away, Huang Qiuyang turned around and looked Huang Linger up and down.

"To congratulate my brother for persevering to the end, my sister is so well-dressed today, my brother is really moved."

Huang Ling'er giggled, and looked away from Luo Jin. The shyness just now was gone, and she glared and blamed, "My brother knows how to tease my sister."

Then he sighed again:

"It's a pity that Mr. Bai didn't come to see him in person today. The guy in the shop didn't lie to me. Mr. Bai is really not in Bailu Town these days."

Huang Qiuyang was taken aback.

"Master Bai is not in Bailu Town anymore?"

Then what is he trying to do?
"Where did Mr. Bai go?"

"Who knows, it is said that he went to the north to find a baby—"

With that said, Huang Ling'er turned around and walked towards the carriage, this time without the help of her maid, she walked with vigor and vigor.

Huang Qiuyang followed, and glanced sideways at his younger sister, who seemed a little angry.

"Master Bai's sweetheart is in the north?" He asked cautiously.

Huang Ling'er paused, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at her brother, her face was a bit stunned, and then a bit of anger burst out.

Yes, why didn't she think of this!
What kind of treasures can there be in the poor and remote areas in the north? !
Thinking of the mysterious appearance of the buddy of Detian Pavilion when he spoke, it's no wonder!
"oops!"

Huang Ling'er stomped her feet and grabbed Huang Qiuyang's sleeve, "Brother, go and ask Mr. Luo, what did Mr. Bai do in the north!"

"Brother Huang, this is."

Luo Jin and Mathematics looked slightly surprised at the two brothers and sisters of the Huang family who were chasing after them out of breath.

"Brother Luo"

Although he was unwilling to be dragged all the way by his sister, but in front of his sister's sweetheart and acquaintances, what should be defended had to be defended.

"Is such that"

Huang Qiuyang took a breath, "I originally asked Mr. Qin to invite Mr. Bai to enjoy the scenery, but I heard that Mr. Bai left Bailu Town and went to the north. I don't know why he left in such a hurry? When will I be able to return?" ? I'll arrange it in advance."

It turned out to be the son's friend.

In this case, many coincidences in this exam can be explained, and Luo Jin is slightly relieved.

"It's not a matter of urgency. It can be back in one month if it's fast, or two months if it's slow." He replied.

Huang Qiuyang dragged his voice and laughed.

"Then it seems that we will arrange to enjoy the snow scene together."

Seeing that the topic could not continue, Huang Linger poked him behind him, Huang Qiuyang had no choice but to speak again:
"Golden autumn is a good time. My family has arranged a lot of blind dates for me recently. Presumably Mr. Bai will go to the north this time, and there will be many such entertainments, right?"

The topic turned so abruptly that Luo Jin was taken aback by the question, and Mathematics looked up.

This young man looks Fengshen Langyi, why is he talking in such a mess.

Is his son so idle?
"Master, I misunderstood. My son is going to the north this time to discuss business." Mathematics said.

Talk about business, Huang Linger breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to talk about business." Huang Qiuyang laughed dryly.
