Chen Zhongqian didn't expect that Chen Zhongda would come to him for advice on the exam. After all, he had been out of school for several years and had been studying intermittently in the past few years.
"Why do you come to ask me for advice? It's not like you don't know my situation. I've been reading some books every day since my health has gotten better recently. Previously, I lay in bed all day long and was terribly ill. I didn't even feel confident about it.
How can I give you some advice?"
Chen Zhongda said hurriedly, "That's not the case. Mr. Zhang said that the eldest brother is the most talented student he has ever seen. I believe that even if the eldest brother takes a few years off from school, he is still more talented than me. There are still two months for the exam. I think the eldest brother
I will definitely pass the exam, but I am not sure. I have studied hard, but I always feel that I can’t get it right and I don’t know what will be tested in this exam.”
Chen Zhongqian poured him a cup of tea, "Does grandpa know that you came to me?"
Chen Zhongda didn't say anything, but he knew it, and smiled to himself, "If grandpa knew that you came to me to ask for help with your homework, I'm afraid he would be angry again. If you fail the exam, I will be guilty."
"This is our business. There is no need to let grandpa know. I just want to listen to my elder brother's advice. Even if I don't pass the exam in the end, it is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
Chen Zhongqian doesn't want to offend anyone in the Chen family, but he still trusts Chen Zhongda. This cousin grew up with him and became the most important person in the Chen family because of his good health and ability to read. Counting the past, this cousin has nothing to apologize for.
their place.
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "These are just some of my own opinions. I can't guarantee that the final exam will be related to these. If you want to hear it, I will tell you. It depends on your own judgment."
Since preparing to apply for Yueshan Academy, Chen Zhongqian has been studying it carefully. He has recorded what kind of questions will be asked and what aspects of knowledge will be involved.
Chen Zhongda wanted to know, so he told him everything without reservation. After talking for an hour, Lin Yuxi had even called it a day and came back from work, and they were still talking.
Chen Zhongda took a pen and paper and took notes carefully, while Chen Zhongqian was so focused on what he was talking about that he didn't even notice Lin Yuxi's return. Lin Yuxi stood at the door and watched for a while.
No wonder it is said that serious men are the most handsome. He is so high-spirited in his field of expertise, and his whole body seems to be emitting light, so dazzling that people can't take their eyes away.
It was just a matter of highlighting the key points, so Chen Zhongda recorded three pieces of paper and carefully put them into his arms after the ink had dried.
"Brother, I really benefited a lot from today. I will definitely prepare well. I hope we can all pass the exam."
Chen Zhongqian still warned, "I still say the same thing. This is just my own opinion. I can't guarantee that you will pass the exam. I don't want to get into trouble. You know what to do."
"Don't worry, I know everything. Then I'll go back first and you have a good rest." Chen Zhongda went out to greet Lin Yuxi and then left happily.
Lin Xixi had just washed her hands and prepared to cook. Chen Zhongqian sat obediently in front of the stove to light the fire. They had a great tacit understanding.
"Is there any problem with this exam?"
"have no idea."
Lin Xixi put her hands on her hips, "Looking at how serious you said it, I thought you knew it all."
"You should say you don't know even if you know something in your heart. Before the matter is decided, anything can happen."
Lin Yuxi thought again of what she heard in the bookstore that day. Yes, she was about to sign up. She hadn't found a backer yet. If Chen Zhongqian got top marks in the exam but was squeezed out by the powerful, then she would
It will definitely piss you off.
Who should I look for?
Dr. Zhuang looks like he knows a lot of people. I wonder if he can do it.
It just so happens that the ginseng has been dried. It should be possible to get a good-quality one to explore the way.
The registration for the Yueshan Academy exam is on the eighth day of June, and the exam time is on the second day of August. On the day of registration, I happened to go to the market. Lin Yuxi collected some mountain products and medicinal materials that had been dried recently, and took a small ginseng stick.
Wrap the cloth and put it in the backpack.
Chen Zhongqian was going to town to register. He must be going. There were a lot of things to do today. Lin Yuxi was afraid that the children would be lost in the crowd, so he sent them to Chen Yunzhao's house. The Chen family also has two children.
, Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo didn't make any fuss at all, and obediently followed Chen Zhongwen's daughter-in-law Yu Shi in.
This was the first time the two of them went to town alone. There were no children around, so they didn't know what to say. Fortunately, they got on the bullock cart quickly and there were other people talking, which made it less awkward.
Just as the bullock cart was about to leave, Yang rushed over and said, "Wait a minute, wait for me."
She ran and got into the car, out of breath from exhaustion, "I've finally caught up. My Zhongda is going to register for the Yueshan Academy exam today. I have to go and take a look."
A person next to me smiled and said, "Oh, it's just registration. It's not the exam today. Besides, even if it's an exam, you can't help me if you go."
Mrs. Yang snorted, "I have to go anyway, it's a big deal for my son."
After showing off, he noticed Lin Yuxi and Chen Zhongqian. Yang said with some disgust, "Why are you here too?"
Lin Hexi smiled slightly and said, "Is this ox cart owned by my eldest aunt?"
Yang remembered that Chen Zhongqian also had to take the exam, and curled her lips, "Zhong Qian seems to be in good health. Do you really want to go to Yueshan Academy? The registration fee is twenty taels of silver. Think about it, what can you do with these two taels of silver?
OK, I have to throw it in."
Lin Hexi said expressionlessly, "I have too much money and I'm in a panic."
Chen Zhongqian laughed quickly and cleared his throat. The couple looked at the scenery on the roadside together and stopped talking.
When they arrived in the town, everyone went about their own business. Chen Zhongqian was not in a hurry to sign up. There must be a lot of people now, so he would accompany Lin Yuxi to sell everything that should be sold, and then go later when there are fewer people.
Lin Xixi took the mountain products to a dry goods store to sell them, and the price was pretty good. The waiter in the store carefully identified the types of mountain products she was selling and made sure they were all good, then weighed them and calculated the money for her.
"Ma'am, keep it. This is one or two or eight cents. I'll sell it next time when there is something available." The waiter said with a smile. The shopkeeper said that the mountain products this lady was selling were of good quality and they kept them in the store.
The price is also higher, so of course she is welcome to sell it.
Lin Hexi nodded, collected the money, and left the dry goods store with Chen Zhongqian, planning to go to Renji Hall to sell medicinal materials.
Just as they were passing by the entrance of an alley, they saw several people coming out of it in a panic and then running away.
Lin Huihe subconsciously glanced into the alley and saw a man lying in the corner of the alley. There was a big gash in his leg. His pants were soaked with blood. Not only that, his face was swollen like a pig's head. Rao
