Chapter 216 Taking the Children to the Exam
In the blink of an eye, the day for the scholar examination came, and Leng Yingchun tossed and turned, but couldn't sleep.
Seeing her irritability, Qin Xiaoxiao resisted her sleepiness and sat up to chat with her.
"Xiaoxiao, if none of the children get admitted as a scholar, will the fat man who provoked me spit in my face?" Leng Yingchun asked with her eyes closed.
Now her mind is filled with the ridicule of others. Maybe she can't bear the pressure and gives up teaching her children, then all her previous efforts will be in vain.
"Are you worried that you will lose face?" Qin Xiaoxiao pointedly expressed Leng Yingchun's anxiety.
"Xiaoxiao, don't interrupt!" Leng Yingchun opened her eyes and sat up to look at Qin Xiaoxiao's level, "When that time comes, how do you want to deal with it?"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Leng Yingchun was afraid of, so he held her shoulders.
"Don't think too much. During this period, you were busy checking information, summarizing the direction of the test questions, and guiding the children on how to analyze the questions. You have put in too much effort. No matter how stupid they are, one of them can pass the exam.
A scholar, right? The whole army will not be wiped out."
Leng Yingchun felt a little relieved after thinking about it.
"Go to bed, so as not to have a headache again tomorrow." Qin Xiaoxiao pressed Leng Yingchun down and lay down beside him to sleep.
Leng Yingchun took a deep breath to calm down, thinking that even if she didn't get admitted as a scholar, the worst she could do was work harder, sum up more experience, and train children year after year, and she would always be able to cultivate one. So she squinted her eyes, and for a while
Also fell asleep.
She got up at dawn and was responsible for sending the children to the county government examination room.
The candidates were very punctual and were waiting at the door.
"Sister Yingchun, we also want to take a look, okay?" Xiang Min came with the female students.
They studied with boys and learned the same things, but they were unable to take the exam because of their gender. They felt helpless and wanted to go live to experience the nervousness of the exam.
"It's impossible to take a carriage if we all go. Let's set off now and walk." Leng Yingchun agreed.
The children happily patrolled the country roads.
"Those of you who are taking the exam, please don't panic when you arrive at the exam room later. Take a deep breath like I did, and let your breath sink in your Dantian. When you see the paper, don't rush to do it. Analyze the meaning of the question first to see what it wants to express?" Leng Yingchun walked as he walked.
remind.
"Sister Yingchun, don't worry. You've said it many times, and we all know what to do." Haozi was full of confidence and felt that the scholar was in his pocket.
"Don't be too arrogant, reality will teach you a lesson." Leng Yingchun reminded.
She met too many people who thought they were right but ended up falling behind.
"You underestimate me, then you just wait for me to make you proud!" Haozi said with great pride, and he approached Leng Yingchun and said mysteriously, "Also, today my mother went to the temple specially to
I asked for a magic talisman and boiled eggs with green onions. I finished them all. With the blessing of the Buddha, I put my heart in my belly."
"There is little use in improvising, the key is to rely on strength!" Leng Yingchun disapproved of Haozi's approach.
But when she saw many children taking out their magic talismans, she became convinced that they believed in the power of gods and Buddhas.
Well, if you have some faith, you might be able to pass the exam.
"Sister Yingchun, I also want my mother to boil eggs for me." Xiangdi complained, "Haozi ate all the eggs at home, and he didn't even give us some."
"Mom, why do girls eat so many eggs? No matter how well-raised they are, they belong to other people's family. No matter how bad the boys are, they belong to me." Hao Zi was spoiled by Aunt Su and became more and more out of character.
"Haozi, women should be like men. You must love each other to get help from your sisters. It's not good for them. If they live a prosperous life in the future, they won't help you if you are still poor."
Leng Yingchun felt that as long as he experienced setbacks and education, he would be able to restrain himself.
"Mom said, they must stand by my side at all times." Haozi became arrogant.
"Stop talking, we will be in the city soon. You all pack up and walk into the examination room calmly. Don't embarrass me."
Leng Yingchun became nervous and felt vaguely uncomfortable in her stomach. She suddenly understood why Zheng Guangyang would have a stomachache at critical moments.
The children vowed that they would make Leng Yingchun look good, but in fact they were quite panicked.
The city is lively today, and people dressed like literati can be seen everywhere, and they all want to take the exam to be a scholar.
The master greeted the students at the gate. He saw Leng Yingchun running over quickly, and laughed in front of her, "Why are you here? The good seats have been given to others."
"It doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere." Leng Yingchun never has any feng shui treasures, everything depends on his own efforts.
"Come in quickly!" The master didn't want to stay too long, so he asked the Yamen to take the children who were about to take the exam.
"Haozi, don't be too anxious. Remember what Sister Yingchun said, read the questions and analyze them!" Xiang Min shouted from behind.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely get good grades in the exam." Haozi waved his hand, his confident face was so enviable.
"Let's go to the shop next to us and sit down to eat." Leng Yingchun called the girl to the snack bar opposite and sat down to wait.
All the candidates went in, and their family members didn't want to wait around, so they walked in, ordered food, and waited patiently.
"I really don't know what it's like inside." Xiang Min looked around, but couldn't see anything, so she became very anxious.
"After the exam, ask Master if I can show you the scene." Leng Yingchun poured a glass of water and drank it. His eyes never left the door of the exam room for a moment, hoping that Haozi and the others would move forward bravely and answer the questions in one go.
.
After all the candidates had entered, the master closed the door and nodded towards Leng Yingchun.
The waiting was excruciating, as the people next to me stood up and sat down from time to time, making everyone around me nervous.
After a while, the master came over excitedly. Many people gathered around to ask about the situation. He said he had no comment and asked them to wait patiently.
They didn't say much, and stood or sat waiting for the results.
The master leaned into Leng Yingchun's ear and whispered, "The invigilator was temporarily changed in the examination room. He was brought by the county magistrate from the next city. We don't dare to do anything because we are worried that we will be reported and we may be demoted."
"I knew something would go wrong." Leng Yingchun didn't think it mattered at all. She calmly comforted the master, "Master, don't be sad. I have taught them everything I need to teach them. As for how they should perform,
It’s beyond our control, so just wait patiently.”
The master was speechless and looked at the Yamen gate intently.
"Why haven't you come out yet? Has the exam not started yet?" Someone looked around anxiously.
"How long has it been since? You just let them finish the exam. How is this possible? I think you are anxious for your son to lose his reputation?" Someone retorted.
They finally calmed down and waited attentively for their children to come out.
It was almost noon, the gate of the county government opened, and all the candidates came out. Everyone rushed out immediately to greet them.
"How did the exam go?" Leng Yingchun asked from afar.
With smiles on their faces, Haozi and the other children said with great interest that they would definitely be able to pass the examination because they had applied all the knowledge points and could always win a few prizes.
Xiang Min touched Haozi's head and said, "You are really my good brother. You have mastered the secrets of the exam. You must be able to pass the exam. Let's let my mother kill an old hen to celebrate after we go back."
"
In her eyes, as long as she can take advantage of Haozi's prestige and enjoy a delicious meal, she will be very satisfied.
"I have more than just one old hen. I also want my father to go fishing in the mountains. I also like to eat braised duck meat." Haozi proudly said to his other friends, "If you don't mind, come to my house for dinner."
"
"Great, we all have delicious food!"
The children cheered and jumped up and down.
Leng Yingchun looked at them calmly. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with these lively and cheerful children, but their chances of passing the exam would be very low. On the contrary, those few sat with their heads drooped, feeling that they had no chance of winning.
The larger the size, the greater the chance of passing.
"Sister Yingchun, seven or eight of us think we can pass the exam. This gives you a prestige. Why are you unhappy?" Haozi immediately noticed Leng Yingchun's calmness.
"It's too early to tell whether you can pass the exam or not. When the results are announced, the most important thing will be whether your name is on the bulletin board." Leng Yingchun smiled gently, "But, you all performed very well today.
Yes, no one left the examination room because of timidity, and everyone persisted until the end. For this reason, I will reward each of you with a bunch of candied haws, how about it?"
"Do we have one too?" Xiangdi asked, raising her head.
The fluttering eyes were so aggrieved that it made people feel aching in their hearts.
"Of course, men and women are equal!" Leng Yingchun said calmly, "Wait for me here. If anyone runs away, there will be no candied haws to eat."
The children were patient in order to have food and sat there waiting seriously.
Leng Yingchun ran to the candied haws fruit stall in front and bought all the candied haws.
Each child had a bunch of candied haws in their hands, and the smiles on their faces bloomed with flowers.
Leng Yingchun felt mixed emotions in her heart. The children are happy now, but when the test results come out, only a few children will be happy. Most of them will fail. I don’t know how uncomfortable it is. However, let them experience the joy of life.
There's nothing wrong with setbacks.
The children didn't know what Leng Yingchun was thinking. After the exam, they could relax for a while, and their family would treat them as treasures.
"Sister Yingchun, if I fail to pass the examination as a scholar, do I have to study on my own if I want to continue taking the exam?" Huzi from the same village looked at Leng Yingchun with a sad face while other children were jumping up and down.
"You have two options. One is to discuss with your family and see if you can go to Luchengmen to receive professional training. The other is to continue studying at my place."
Leng Yingchun felt that Huzi had a high chance of being admitted as a scholar. This child's thinking was different from other children. He had a literary talent, could make sense at every point, and could draw inferences from one instance to other cases.
"It's impossible to study at Luchengmen. Our family is too poor!" Huzi rejected the first possibility at once, "I just hope Sister Yingchun won't think I'm stupid."
"Don't belittle yourself. The test results haven't come out yet. Everything is possible." Leng Yingchun rubbed Huzi's head. "Everyone can see your diligence. You will definitely gain something."
"But they all thought it was so easy. I was the only one who found it difficult." Huzi felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry. "The question asked about how to deal with the next season's production after the grain production is reduced. I forgot to plow."
The question really asks what to do if production is reduced!
Leng Yingchun was somewhat impressed that he could guess the test questions.
"I must have failed the exam, what should I do?" Huzi narrowed his eyes, feeling too painful.
"Silly boy, farming won't appear on the exam. They don't have this vocabulary." Leng Yingchun looked at Hu Zi calmly, "Okay, don't be sad. Let's play with them for a while. We'll finish it before dark.
I’m going back.”
"Is it really not going to happen?" Huzi expressed doubt.
"We'll see when the time comes." Leng Yingchun couldn't say too much. After all, she didn't understand the government's evaluation standards and couldn't react.
