However, Tang Bing didn't care about Yuzhu's feelings and ordered his servant to bring in mock provincial examination questions.
It is similar to Jiuhua Academy’s monthly exam model, with the nine-day exam time compressed into three days.
Tang Bing's words were more ruthless and vicious than Qin Benchu's. If you can't finish the paper in three days, then why not go to Shuntian Prefecture Gongyuan and take the exam?
The day was fine, but at night, the servants of Tang Mansion brought two small orange lanterns and hung them on the door of the examination room.
Good guy, attracted by the smell of the excrement bucket and the temptation of the lantern light, flies, mosquitoes and moths came in droves.
"Buzz buzz..." Flies kept flying around the jade pillar. He didn't bring a fly swatter, so he could only answer questions with his left hand while waving his left hand.
"Pa." Yuzhu couldn't bear to stop writing, and swatted a large mosquito that had sucked blood to death.
In these forty-nine cities, the temperature at the end of July has exceeded thirty-seven or eight degrees.
It was impossible for Yuzhu to have a thermometer. He couldn't bear the heat, so he simply took off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of large cotton pants.
At this moment, good guys, flies and mosquitoes were staring at the thin-skinned and tender Yuzhu, and when they got the chance, they would madly pounce on it to suck blood. んttps://www.
This person only knows how to reflect when he suffers a big loss.
Yuzhu took out a piece of manuscript paper and wrote a line of small words on it: You must bring cattail leaf fans, mosquito nets, mosquito coils and mosquito repellent lotus perfume.
The stench kept wafting into the examination room, and the jade pillars were on the wooden boards. I couldn't sleep, and I turned over the fried sesame cakes.
How can you eat in such a smelly environment?
The temperature was too high, and the snacks Yuzhu brought started to turn sour after just one night.
If you eat sour snacks and have diarrhea, your whole body will be ruined.
Yuzhu had no choice but to light a fire on the stove and eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles with rotten vegetables. The soup was watery and he ate until he was half full.
Tang Bing was the first to say that there were three days of unshakable exam time. Even if Yuzhu finished the exam questions in advance, he had to stay in the smelly exam room and was not allowed to come out.
Damn, this sour and refreshing experience cannot be described in words.
On the last day, Yuzhu actually lay on the wooden board with an hungry stomach, panting heavily, letting flies and mosquitoes bite him, and didn't want to move at all.
When Tang Bing came, he saw that Yuzhu's white and tender skin was covered with red bumps from mosquito bites, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"It's so good, it's so good." Tang Bing twitched his beard and smiled, encouraging Yuzhu, "You can only become a master by enduring hardships. This is true!"
Tang Bing, who was an old academic officer, started grading the papers at a glance.
"Okay, this sentence is extremely well written. How can the ancestor's method be changed? It's so changeable. It's wonderful!" Tang Bing couldn't help but praise it when he saw the subtlety.
"Okay, this is a very good argument. Circle."
After reading all the test papers, Tang Bing gave the final conclusion: they were all circles and there were no sharp points.
The examination papers for the Provincial Examination, the General Examination and the Palace Examination are divided into five grades, with sharp circles and straight crosses. After the same examiner recommends the paper, the one with more circles wins!
If the number of circles on the examination paper is the same, the chief examiner and deputy examiner will convene the inner curtain and the examiner, and the supervisor will sit in charge to discuss and vote together to determine the ranking.
"As long as you hand in the paper normally, you will definitely win."
Yuzhu was itching badly and wanted to scratch it, but he didn't want to lose his grace in front of Tang Bing. How could he want to listen to Tang Bing's praise?
Tang Bing put the "Rural Examination Rules" prepared in advance into Yuzhu's hand, and said with a smile: "Young people, you can only take advantage of a small loss, understand? Okay, you can eliminate the redness of mosquito bites."
I have already ordered someone to prepare cold Chinese medicine soup for you, so go ahead."
Yuzhu was overjoyed. After hurriedly saluting, he entered the clean room under the guidance of his servant.
"Alas..." After Yuzhu soaked in the cool bucket of Chinese medicine soup, his whole body felt comfortable and he couldn't help but sigh.
After eating and drinking, Yuzhu lay down on the bamboo couch and fell asleep soundly, wearing only his shorts.
Hanshuang and Lin Yan'er, who were specially brought in by Wu Jiang, were guarding one side of the bamboo couch respectively. They held big cattail fans in their hands and gently fanned the jade pillar.
In the afternoon of the next day, just before dinner time, Yuzhu slowly woke up from his deep sleep.
Under Lin Yan'er's service, Yuzhu finished washing, had dinner, and came to see Tang Bing.
When Tang Bing saw his energetic disciple, he couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, and said: "It's great to be young. I was trapped for three days and recovered in the blink of an eye. Well, all the hard work of being a teacher is not in vain."
"Thank you so much, my mentor." Yuzhu thanked Tang Bing from the bottom of his heart, and he immediately bowed to the ground.
In the past, Yuzhu had called his mentor countless times, but none of them were as sincere as this one.
"Okay, I've taught you everything I need to teach you. What I didn't say is also in the booklet. Go back home. I'm waiting for you to be named on the Guiban and be honored as Jieyuan." Tang Bing thought for a moment.
Huzi looked at Yuzhu with great relief, "To be honest, with such a bad test environment, I would have failed the test. You are fine, go ahead."
After Yuzhu returned home, he only read for half a day every day. During the rest of his free time, he asked Lin Yaner to play the zither, flute, and flute, and sing and dance. He was as happy as a god!
However, a few days before the exam, the emperor suddenly issued an edict prohibiting candidates from bringing stoves and other cooking items to the Tribute Academy, and they were only allowed to bring dry food.
Yuzhu thought about it all morning. He planned to eat snacks on the first day. After the second day, if the snacks went rancid, he would eat a small amount of fried rice with refined salt to satisfy his hunger.
During the Red Army's Long March, rice fried thoroughly with refined salt could survive seven days without becoming sour on such a hot day.
A provincial examination, including entry and examination, only lasts for four days at most. Bringing fried rice is enough.
On the ninth day of August, the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination officially started.
Slightly different from the Jiangnan Rural Examination, the Shuntianfu Rural Examination does not require entering the Gongyuan one day in advance, you can just enter the venue on the same day.
Yuzhu accompanied Longkodo and Li Sier and had a sumptuous Cantonese-style morning tea.
Longkodo was actually not used to Cantonese-style morning tea, but today was a major event in Yuzhu's life, so he specially arranged Cantonese-style morning tea.
Before going out, Li Si'er suddenly stopped Yuzhu and said with a smile: "What did you Ama tell me yesterday? When the gold medal was inscribed, the night of the wedding, I, a woman, don't know that much. From now on.
From now on, everything in your room will be up to your own will, and I won't care about it anymore."
Hey, this is about to let the tiger out of the gate!
In fact, Yuzhu has never touched Lin Yan'er. It's really not that he is acting like a fool, but that the soul of modern people is acting strangely.
A greasy old man in his forties, even if he sleeps with his wife in his arms, he only touches his right hand with his left hand, and has long since lost any passion.
What's more important is that in this era where early marriage is common, women who get pregnant too early often end up killing two people.
Lin Yan'er came to Yuzhu's side when she was more than sixteen years old. Now, she is almost eighteen years old.
The body is fully developed!
"Enie is so nice." Yuzhu thanked him with a smile, and then followed Longkodo out of the door together.
Lin Yan'er naturally understood what Li Si'er meant, and she couldn't help but lower her head, her face turned red with embarrassment.
Lin Yan'er today is no longer as shabby as she was when she first entered the house.
By Lin Yan'er's side, there were as many as four maids serving her. This was already the standard for concubines of wealthy families.
During the college examination, Longkodo had to go to the palace and could not take the exam.
Today's provincial examination happened to coincide with the time when Longkodo did not need to enter the palace, so he naturally had to send his son to Gongyuan.
Longkodo was a second-rank official, and his carriage was spacious and comfortable.
After Yuzhu got into the carriage, Longkodo personally took out the teapot from the warm tea bucket, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to his hand.
Longkodo said with a smile: "I don't know where you, Mafa, found out that you were going to take the provincial examination. I was going to see you off in person, but you asked me to find a reason and pushed it away."
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said nothing, but he understood in his heart.
Tong Guowei and Longkodo, father and son, actually sang a double act.
Tong Guowei is already old. Among his eight sons, Longkodo is the most favored and has great power.
The balance of power within the family has long been tilted towards Longkodo. It has been widely rumored that after Tong Guowei dies, Longkodo will be the one to take the first-class dukedom.
Wu Shanwen, the chief steward of the entire mansion, quickly ran to the carriage and said to Qian: "Master, Second Master, we are all ready and can set off at any time."
Longkodo raised his chin and said calmly: "Let's get going."
"Hey." Wu Shanwen lowered his waist and responded loudly.
"It's time for promotion." Wu Shanwen shouted loudly.
In front of the gate of the mansion, four soldiers of the commander's mansion, holding whips in their hands, took the lead in riding horses to clear the way.
"Idle people kneel down and avoid it!"
"The common people kneel down and avoid it!"
"Beat to death, no matter what!" the soldiers of the commander's mansion shouted, each sound getting colder and harsher than the last.
"Crack!"
"Pa!" The crackling sound of a thick whip hitting the ground resounded throughout the alley, and was extremely harsh.
Eight commanders, carrying large lanterns with the word "avoid", followed closely behind on horseback.
Behind them, there are two soldiers on horseback, each holding a large vertical lantern in their hands. The lantern on the left is the nine-door admiral, and the right is the infantry commander.
Thirty soldiers with bows on their backs and thirty soldiers with swords on their shoulders, fully armored, mounted on tall horses, guarding the left and right sides of the carriage.
The carriage started slowly. As soon as it arrived at the entrance of the alley and was about to turn a corner, someone on the street said loudly, "I bid you General Luo Xing'a, the fifth battalion of the infantry. Please be safe, Commander-in-Chief Long."
Longkodo ignored Luo Xing'a at all, and the carriage drove straight out of the alley and turned onto the street.
"Liu Chuang, deputy general of the first patrol battalion, please be safe, Commander-in-Chief Long."
"I bid the third battalion of the infantry guerrilla Ma Jiu, and come to see Longshuai!"
Good guy, every time the convoy passed through an important street, there were garrison generals greeting them. This style is beyond words to describe.
This was the first time Yuzhu took Longkodo's carriage to go out officially. Well, if he had known that Longkodo liked to show off so much, he would have gone to Gongyuan alone.
Too arrogant!
So domineering!
However, having already boarded Longkodo's pirate ship, even if Yuzhu had another opinion, it would be too late.
You can't tell Longkodo directly. Amma, your son should go to Gongyuan in his own carriage, right?
That would be a slap in the face to my own father!
However, there are some benefits to exercising privileges.
Longkodo's motorcade drove smoothly to the gate of Shuntian Prefecture Gongyuan.
(ps: That’s awesome, brothers, how many monthly tickets have you hidden? It’s simply unfathomable! Yuzhu is willing to risk it all. There will be 1032 votes before the clock turns tonight, and there will be an update in the early morning!)
