When he came back in the afternoon, Brother Ninth said to Shu Shu: "Starting tomorrow, I won't be going in the morning. I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the afternoon."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "But if we just rest like this, the emperor will tell us that we won't have to train him anymore. Why don't we continue reading the Book of Rites?"
Have a correct attitude.
Which parent and boss is happy for his son to skip work?
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "If you don't read the Book of Rites, I will ask someone to set up the target in the school field tomorrow, and I will start practicing archery!"
He gritted his teeth with reluctance.
Shu Shu blinked and said, "Is there an exam coming up?"
The ninth elder brother was also depressed. He was just trying to think of a way to feel more at ease today, but he got the news from the tenth elder brother that there would be a clan examination at the end of the month.
"What does Khan Amma think? Just take the exam for those clan members who want to be knighted, why should you take the exam?"
He complained: "I have already left to go to the study. When will I be the boss?"
There are three clan examinations in total: translation, riding and shooting, and infantry shooting.
Shu Shu was also a little worried and said: "I am not afraid of the translator. The rest is foot shooting and mounted shooting. But how can you practice riding shooting?"
Brother Jiu pointed to the west and said: "Isn't there a horse farm to the west of Lao Shi's house? Then I and Lao Shi will go there to practice riding and shooting."
Horseback shooting and infantry shooting are both studies in the study. It is just a test, and the results are still easy. It is just that I have become a bit unskilled in the past two years.
"I've been controlling strings for more than ten years, so what's the point of just taking an exam? Just pick it up..."
Brother Ninth was not afraid.
"I'm just afraid that if I make a mistake, I'll get a draw. The real prince out there is a dandy prince who is incompetent in both writing and martial arts. How can that be done? Wouldn't that embarrass you and our little brother?"
Brother Jiu Age geared up and said, "That won't work, the cards must be stood up too!"
Shu Shu encouraged: "Then wait for my good results...
This diligent practice of archery is also a serious matter.
Not lazy...
No matter what, starting from the next day, Brother Jiu started working a half-day shift.
Since they were going to practice archery, they definitely needed someone to accompany them. Fusong and several guards were summoned by Brother Jiu.
Except for Fuqing, who is worse, the others are good at drawing strong bows.
After one round, Brother Jiu stopped.
Men, they don’t care, but they still care about face.
He felt that if he continued like this, he would be despised by his subordinates.
It is a big fool to use one's own shortcomings to match the strengths of others.
Someone was snickering just now, and he saw it!
He thought for a while and said to Heishan: "Oh, it's okay. The wind is quite strong. Black Guards should rest."
Heishan was a young man, so he couldn't get into a group with these young people, so he went down.
Brother Jiu then said to Erhe: "You came from the palace guard department, why are you just pretending? It's too bad! Follow Chunlin to learn more and learn from each other, and then run into those guys from the guard department, calm down
Suppress them! Yin
Erhe had long known his own shortcomings, so he was very humble and asked Chunlin for advice.
Brother Jiu said to Fu Qing again: "You said that you are not good at studying, and your bow and arrow are mediocre. What will you do with your future? You can't hang around as a guard all the time. Let Fu Song take you and see if you can gain some strength.
, you can’t be much worse than others, are you embarrassed?!”)
Fu Qing had already seen the cavalry and shooting skills of these colleagues, and he was indeed very different.
He was very respectful to Fu Song, and the two of them went to shoot arrows nearby.
He Yuzhu looked at Brother Ninth and was speechless.
Only three arrows were shot, and it seemed like there was no second half.
Sure enough, Brother Jiu sighed and dismissed everyone. He felt much better and said to He Yuzhu: "Okay, I don't worry about Fujin. Let's continue practicing tomorrow..."
After speaking, he turned around and went back to the main courtyard.
He Yuzhu followed behind with his quiver in his arms.
In the main courtyard, Shu Shu is taking a walk.
With Doctor Jiang's orders, she did not dare to lie down like this until the time of delivery.
It’s not just a matter of diet, but also because she feels really uncomfortable. The more she lies down, the weaker she becomes, and her calves are swollen. If this continues, she may not be able to hold a fist.)
When Brother Jiu saw Shu Shu, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, helped her up and said, "How many steps have you walked? It's better to take it step by step, don't get tired!"
Shu Shu looked at the walnut next to her.
Walnut held a string of beads that counted steps in his hand, glanced at it twice, and said: "Two hundred and forty-eight steps have been taken..."
Shu Shu was speechless, feeling that he had been moving for a while, but it was still less than 250 steps?
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "Okay, now there are two small circles!"
Shu Shu was not very tired yet, so she said: "If we do two more laps, we still have to make up five hundred."
Seeing that she was interested, Brother Jiu said: "Then I will pay the price."
While the couple was talking, there was movement in the front yard.
The sound of more rapid footsteps.
Husband and wife look at each other, and there is an uninvited guest?
Isn't it still Prince Zhuang?
Shu Shu was a little short of breath.
Brother Ninth is too impatient.
He does not have a gentle and gentle temper, and he still feels unhappy thinking about Prince Zhuang's rudeness yesterday.
"Sir, Fujin, a director from the Ministry of Rites came to see Brother Fusong.
It was Cui Baisui who came over quickly and reported to the two of them.
Brother Jiu was stunned and said, "Did you tell me what happened?"
This is the Prince's Mansion. Prince Zhuang is the elder of the clan. He can be allowed to come uninvited. Others are also so casual. Brother Jiu doesn't want to get used to it.
Besides, who is Fuzon?
The fourth grade master of ceremonies!
The head of the Ministry of Etiquette, Xiao Zheng6pin, is blocking the door looking for someone?
If there is no legitimate reason, Brother Jiu will ask someone to beat him out.
Cui Baisui said: "Some of the failed students were making trouble and went to sit in front of the Shuntian government office. My brother was young and came from such a background, so those people insisted that he had bribed the examiner to get on the list. The chief came here because of the service.
As ordered by the Minister, come here and ask Brother Fusong..."
Shu Shu felt a little annoyed after hearing this.
It has something to do with imperial examination fraud, which has never been the case since ancient times.
Although they don't expect to be successful in the imperial examination, they are not willing to get involved in it.
When she got excited, her stomach felt like there was a war.
She cried out "Oh!" and felt a little unable to stand.
Brother Jiu was startled, hugged her shoulders and said, "What's wrong?"
Shu Shu took a breath of air and said, "I just got hit so hard that my belly hurt!"
With her like this, Brother Jiu couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly helped Shu Shu back to the house with Walnut, one on the left and the other on the right.
Shu Shu took a few breaths to calm herself down, and then the movement in her stomach eased.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but get angry and ordered He Yuzhu: "Go and beat him out!"
Shu Shu hurriedly stopped him and said: "It's okay. The fraud in the imperial examination is very important. The Holy Master has got the news and it's time to come back. It's just a routine question. Let's call someone in!"
She had no intention of asking Fusong to go out and face him alone. Who knew if someone had convulsions, so she thought of dragging Fusong into the water, diverting her attention or something.
Brother Jiu said with a sullen face: "Okay, let me listen too. They have the courage to come to the door. What exactly do they want to ask..."
He looked at Cui Baisui and said, "Listen to Fujin and bring the people in. If you have anything to ask me, just ask me in front of me and Fujin."
Cui Baisui responded and went down.
Brother Jiu looked at He Yuzhu again and said, "What are you doing standing around stupidly? Why don't you go to the school grounds and call Brother over."
He Yuzhu hurriedly went to call someone.
Brother Jiu grinded his teeth and said: "I want to see what kind of ghost and snake god it is. It doesn't bite others, but only bites Fu Song."
Shu Shu said: "Fusong is young and is the last one, so he is probably being targeted."
In fact, although the current rural examination is a unified examination, the bannermen have separate quotas and do not account for the quota of the Shuntianfu Township Examination.
The failed scholar should be from an ordinary family, and there is no official in the family. Otherwise, you should know that whether it is the six imperial bureaus or the imperial examination, Han Que and Man Que are the same, and they cannot get away with it just by being a bannerman.
Got a spot.
At this moment, Fu Song arrived first, and his steps were a little hasty.
He listened to He Yuzhu's words and was a little worried about his sister.
"Sister, it's okay. It should be a routine matter. I don't have any shortcomings. I'm not afraid to ask.
He didn't care to say anything else and comforted Shu Shu first.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I know that this is the capital city with the most scholars. After the triennial examination, we always have to be on guard against trouble caused by failed candidates. Unexpectedly, news broke out this time, and even failed scholars dared to cause trouble.
…”
It is estimated that it was also the age when people were elected to the Eight Banners in this subject, which stimulated those failed scholars.
Fusong was only sixteen last year, and there were two other Eight Banners candidates in the same subject as him who were seventeen or eight years old.
The future "young general" will also be a candidate for this subject. At the age of twenty-one, he can be regarded as a junior candidate.
Fusong thought for a while and said: "On the surface, it is the students who are making trouble, but later it is not clear, maybe it is for Chunwei."
The second son of Zhang Ying, a bachelor, took the exam in this subject.
Before that, Zhang Ying and his eldest son Zhang Tingzhan were both Jinshi.
Brother Jiu heard this and said, "What do they mean? Do they suspect that Chun Wei is unfair?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "It's not just this subject, but maybe it's also the reason before. Those who failed to pass the exam felt that they also studied hard in a poor family. The children of ministers may not become talents. They are all on the Jinshi list. Students from poor families want to be promoted.
But if it is difficult to reach the sky, doubts will arise..."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "What a poor family! How can a common people's family, who is really struggling to make ends meet, afford a scholar? If you can reach the level of education, no one will be poor."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, the Zhang family has accumulated several generations of culture and is full of scholars...
The Zhang family did not start their fortune with Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying's great-grandfather and uncle were both Jinshi in the previous dynasty.
Their family has been scholarly and prosperous for generations, and they naturally know more about the methods of studying and taking exams than ordinary people outside.
To other scholars, the title of Juren is out of reach, but for a family like the Zhang family, the title of Juren is within easy reach.
In the eyes of others, this became evidence that the imperial examination was unfair.
There were footsteps outside, and following Cui Baisui were not only the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, but also Zhang Tingzhan and Gao Yanzhong.
Zhang Tingzhan took a rest at home today and came in a hurry after receiving the news.
Gao Yanzhong heard about the reason and came over to ask if he wanted to go out to find out the news.
He and Shu Shu thought of going together, fearing that others would deliberately pull Fu Song into the water and fish in troubled waters...
