Quickly travel through the life history of a young couple

I finally left the era of material shortages, but I didn’t expect to come to a time when it was even more difficult to open a small stove.

Only after you have eaten and drank enough can you think about your current situation.

Now when the Three Kingdoms are at odds, it is not quite the same as the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.The basic scope of Daliang covers the two main prosperous places in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and reaches the Great Wall and Shanhaiguan in the north, which can easily resist foreign enemies.In addition to Daliang, there are also Dajin and Dashu.

A very interesting point is that the Jin Dynasty claimed that the emperor's ancestor was a princess of the Tang Dynasty, with the blood of the Tang Dynasty, and occupied Chang'an as its capital.The founding queen of Daliang, whose surname was Wu, was a descendant of Queen Zetian's nephew. She and her husband occupied Luoyang as their capital.Although the two cities are not very far apart, they are separated by the Yellow River as a natural barrier.These two countries are basically divided into east and west, dividing the territory of China in half. And Shu relies on its geographical advantage and basically occupies Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Tibet and Qinghai. It can compete with the other two countries. The reason is that you can advance, attack, retreat and defend.

The country they are now in is Daliang, which is also a country with the highest status of women. After all, Queen Wu, like her predecessors, shares the government with her husband.Even the emperor trusted his queen very much. The Yang and Wu families were old relatives and had a particularly close relationship.Of course, if Daliang is the one who dominates the world, this couple or the Yang and Wu families will definitely have conflicts in the future.

After talking about the general environment, let’s take a look at the situation of these two companies.The Chu family is a scholarly family. After the separation, they now live in a house with a mistress.

Since the beginning of the imperial examination, the younger generations in the family have successively taken the path of taking the imperial examination and becoming officials. However, this path is not very smooth. No one can really stand in the court, and most of them are the lowest-ranking juniors after passing the examination. An official, or a distinguished student.

In the family, Chu's father had already obtained a meritorious degree, but he knew that he could not climb up even with his own ability, so he became a tutor in a government school.He has four sons, three are legitimate children and the youngest is a concubine.All four sons must study. It does not matter whether the quality is good or not, but the quantity must be high.

The current imperial examination system is itself and passed down from the Tang Dynasty. It is not that perfect. It was reformed by the emperor and the empress and slowly improved from the rules set by Queen Zetian. It is divided into four levels, the academic examination, The provincial examination, general examination, and imperial examination were also conducted to improve efficiency, and the Ming Jing and Jin Shi examinations were combined into one subject.After successfully passing the exam, you will be awarded the titles of Scholar, Juren, Gongshi and Jinshi respectively.

Of course, the qualifications to participate in the college examination are very high. If you are self-taught or educated in a private school, you need to take the county exam first. After passing the exam and becoming qualified, you can take the college exam. Students who study in government schools As long as you pass the graduation examination of the official school, you can directly participate in the college examination. This evolved from the student-apprentice system in the Tang Dynasty.

From Qin Liuchen's point of view, this imperial examination system was already quite complete. However, before the later imperial examinations, there was a children's examination, which everyone, whether self-study, private school or official school, had to take part.

Currently, the most qualified person in the Chu family is Chu's father's second son, who passed the academy examination at the age of 19 and was awarded the title of scholar.The eldest son, at the age of 25, achieved the title of scholar together with his second brother, and his ranking was not as high as his own.

The third son, Chu Bai, didn't even pass the graduation exam for the government school, let alone take the college exam. He had a serious illness when he took the exam at the end of the last time, and he almost didn't recover. This was to recuperate. about there.

The King of Chu also heard that he had good intentions for a happy occasion, so he quickly arranged a marriage between Qin Liuchen and Qin Liuchen during the Chinese New Year.

"Let me tell you, why are you so weak with such a small body? You turn out to be a weak scholar." Qin Liuchen ate snacks, listened to the story, and smiled at his current bean sprout appearance.

This can't be blamed on Chu Bai. He is just 16 years old now and is a premature baby. He has been studying intensively since he was a child and doesn't like to exercise. He has naturally developed a look of running away at the slightest hint of wind.Standing next to Qin Liuchen, who had just grown haircut, he couldn't tell who was taller for a moment.

"I'm still young, I'm sure I'll continue to grow taller in two years." Chu Bai said this, but what he was thinking about was to build a good foundation for his body first, and then add some exercise, and he would be fine. Apart from anything else, with such a weak posture, he felt that a strong young woman like Qin Liuchen could knock him down with one punch.

As for Qin Liuchen, she is the sixth eldest in the family. The Qin family is relatively wealthy, but it is only in the past few years that the children in the family have begun to study, which can barely be regarded as farming.

The Qin family had more land and had a shop in the city. Qin Liuchen married into the Chu family. In the eyes of the Qin family, it was regarded as a high marriage, so they prepared a sufficient dowry for the land.

She just had money as a foundation, so after Qin Siniang reconciled and divorced, she used her dowry to help her family set up a female household.

Qin Liuchen thought about her dowry list and suddenly realized that she was still a little rich woman, "It seems that I am richer than you. It's okay. I'll take care of you from now on."

Qin Liuchen put his arm on Chu Bai's shoulder and pulled him back. Unexpectedly, Chu Bai was so weak and easily pulled him into his arms, making Qin Liuchen laugh. She felt that she was losing strength in terms of physical strength at this moment. , she can beat Chu Bai.

Chu Bai(?o﹏o?)

Where did his muscular body go?

"Oh, you are studying medicine yourself. You can take good care of your body, right?" Qin Liuchen looked at Chu Bai's depressed expression and comforted him.

"Don't mention it! When I mention it, I feel like I finally finished college. Pachi traveled through time and had to start studying again, one studying medicine and the other studying literature. Ah, my brain hurts!" Chu Bai reacted. Come here, after he just finished college, he still has to go to school. He was originally a scumbag, a cook, so why should he embark on the path of diligent study?

"Also, I feel that my knowledge is only half-baked. Regarding my original physical condition, I'd better spend some points to have the system help scan it and formulate a reasonable plan!" Chu Bai doesn't think that he has learned medicine for a few years. You can take good care of your body, or spend your points to let the system help!

When he thought of this, he felt so sad. He was in Qin Liuchen's arms and didn't want to come out. It was good to let her hold him like this.

Qin Liuchenhua points?Well, spend it, after all, the body is the capital of revolution.The main reason is that she doesn't know how to comfort her, because although her situation is similar to that of Chu Bai, she doesn't have to take the imperial examination~

Okay, let's not talk about this topic, otherwise Chu Bai will start to feel sad again.

"It's okay, it's really not possible. You will be a student all your life, and I still have a dowry to support you. Besides, your family won't abandon you just because you can't pass the exam! Be good, don't be sad." Qin Liuchen this time The comfort was not to the point, which made Chu Bai even more sad. As expected, he was a useless scholar.

Nowadays, families without official positions are not allowed to use slaves. After all, during times of war, more people have to do productive labor and fight.Don't go too far in captivity. Those with some wealth will choose the employment system. In fact, it is more like another evolution of the slavery system.

The Chu family is also like this. There are three cooks on the stove and two helpers. Chu's father has two waiters beside him. Chu Bai's two brothers each have a boy beside them. This is because they have already passed the examination and have achieved merit. Because of this, there was no one around to serve him and his concubine.There are also several women in the house who are washing clothes, and two long-term workers who work as janitors and do odd jobs.

Mrs. Chu also has a nanny who has been with her for many years. As for her two sisters-in-law, there are no maids around her. The eldest sister-in-law of the Qin family has a woman who helps, because she needs help after giving birth to a child. .

Because of this, the Qin family also prepared a dowry for Qin Liuchen, so that she could live a more comfortable life even though there was no one around to take care of her.

So when it was time to eat, the woman in the kitchen brought them food.

Nowadays, the first meal of the two meals is in Chenshi, which is between seven and nine in the morning. It is called the "big meal". This meal is eaten by the whole family together.The second meal is during Shen time, that is, between three and five o'clock in the afternoon. It is called "snack" and can be eaten in your own room.

Qin Liuchen and Chu Bai opened it and saw two bowls of fish porridge and a plate of steamed okra, sprinkled with some salt and dogwood.The two looked at each other and pouted, but based on the principle that food should not be wasted, they ate them all.Not to mention that the two of them had just eaten. A child of fifteen or sixteen would never have enough to eat while growing!

Although stir-fry has been around for a long time, stir-fry was really popularized in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was because of the iron pot that it slowly entered the homes of ordinary people.Besides, there are very few vegetables that can be stir-fried nowadays. Okra, leeks, celery and the like are more commonly eaten.Moreover, cooking requires oil, and the current oil extraction process is not particularly perfect.

Therefore, most of the food nowadays is still cooked, steamed and grilled.

It seems that everything is fine. Don't think about time travel. You are living a good life in modern times. Why should you go back and suffer?

You can put the finished tableware on the small stool outside the door, and the kitchen staff will come and clean it up.
