The time-traveling master is a prodigal son

"Autumn test?"

Qin Chuyu tilted his head to look at his father with a confused expression.

"Yeah." An Lehou looked worriedly at his son who is now more than a little bit obedient, "This year's autumn exam is probably an excuse, you... hey."

Qin Chuyu recalled that this autumn exam was different from the autumn exam facing the whole country. It was an exam specially set up for the children of wealthy families.For ordinary people, it is generally the first to take the Tongsheng examination, then the scholar, the Juren, the Gongshi, and the Jinshi, and finally the palace examination and then the top three.Not so for the wealthy aristocrats.

The starting point of education they receive is higher than that of ordinary people, so there is no need to keep taking the exam, and it is even more impossible to go back to the place of origin to take the county exam.Although this is somewhat unfair to ordinary people, what the emperor wants is talents, and there is still a shortage of various talents these years, so the time is shortened in this way.

Noble children only take the exam twice, the spring exam and the autumn exam.Usually it takes one year to complete the test, and the test can be taken when you are over ten years old, but the questions are difficult, and it is not only a test of knowledge, but also physical fitness, morality and the like.

The original owner spent five years passing the Chun test. The test was very simple, so simple that he could pass the test only after listening to the class, but he still took the test five times.Qiu took the exam twice, and this is the third time.

In fact, the test is still very humane. There are three sets of test papers. If you pass the easiest test, you will be assigned a sesame official, but the original owner was stunned that he couldn't even pass the simplest test.

Qin Chuyu digested the news silently. As a top student, he really couldn't understand this kind of behavior of taking the exam for several years, and he hasn't passed it yet...

"Then dad wants me to pass the exam, why don't you take the exam?" He didn't really want to take the exam, he was really afraid of the exam.What English CET-[-], [-]-[-], TOEFL IELTS, and all kinds of history and geography, the questions in the college entrance examination weighed dozens of pounds... The past is unbearable.

An Lehou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "You also need to pass the exam. As far as your virtue is concerned, if you pass the culture, you can't pass the moral character."

Qin Chuyu wanted to vomit blood: "..." It hurt my father.

"Hey, you won't pass the exam this time, our Hou Mansion... Forget it, you can cook your dishes with peace of mind, do whatever you want, and don't have to hide from me." An Lehou patted his son's head lovingly Well, he has seen through these years that no fame or wealth can compare to the harmony and happiness of a family.

Besides, liking cooking is better than liking smoking five stone powder and hanging out in gambling shops, An Lehou is still relieved.

Thick palms rubbed against the top of his head, Qin Chuyu wanted to say something, but looking at the somewhat hunched back of the person, he felt very uncomfortable.During this period of time, he enjoyed a warmth that he had never felt before in the Hou Mansion, and he also received 100% attention.He doesn't need to use his grades to prove himself, but he can do whatever he wants, which makes him very satisfied.

Now think about it, should you care about the feelings of those who love you when you are satisfied?

He remembered a chicken soup for the soul that he had read, which said, don't take other people's love for granted, such people don't deserve to be loved.When I watched it at the time, I thought it was a bit hypocritical, but now that I think about it, it still makes sense.

Qin Chuyu was silent for a while, then called Chunzhu and Xia Xue, and asked tentatively, "Are there any exam preparation books?"

The two of them froze for a moment, Chunzhu hesitated and asked, "Young Master, do you want to see it?"

"Hmm..." Qin Chuyu thought of what An Lehou said halfway through, and couldn't figure it out, "What if I fail the exam again?"

Chunzhu said innocently: "Continue next year."

Xia Xue frowned, not agreeing very much, she felt that there would be no next year.

"Xia Xue? What do you say?" Of the four maidservants, Xia Xue was the most delicate.

Hearing this, she knelt down and bit her lower lip. Although she knew that what she said next was disrespectful, she really couldn't bear to see the Hou Mansion ruined like this. "Fourth young master, if you don't pass the exam this year, the Holy Majesty may have to cut the title and let everyone in the Marquis Mansion leave the capital."

Hearing such serious words, Chunzhu's face turned pale with fright, "Sister Xia Xue, what are you talking about? Isn't it so exaggerated?"

Qin Chuyu fell into deep thought. These words should not be groundless. I didn't expect that even the maids at home would have noticed it. What's even more ridiculous is that as the fourth young master of the Hou Mansion, he was still gambling outside and sucking five stone powder.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuyu said gently: "Get up, help me take out the books to be tested, there is still one month left, don't worry."

Xia Xue couldn't believe it, was this still their Fourth Young Master?Not even angry.In the past, what he hated the most was that others said that the fate of the Hou Mansion was in his hands and put so much pressure on him.When she said those words, she was thinking of being betrayed or kicked out of the Hou Mansion, but she didn't expect the Fourth Young Master to be angry.

"Hurry up, I'll see if I can memorize them all." As a person who once fought his way out in exam-oriented education and was regarded as a top student, Qin Chuyu felt that he should be able to pass if he practiced his calligraphy well.Too good grades are probably not enough, as for moral character...he wanted to cry a little, and he realized first-hand why it is still possible to live if the sky does evil, but you can't live if you do evil yourself.

The half-written recipe let Xia Xue give it to Qiukui to think about it. Qin Chuyu didn't want to eat those so-called delicacies from mountains and seas anymore, and it was not as delicious as the home-cooked dishes he cooked himself.The chicken soup is greasy, the fish is very fishy, ​​and the dishes can only be fried or boiled. He has never eaten fried and stewed dishes, and the seasoning is very simple.

"Then there are more than 40 copies." Chunzhu said in a low voice, which made Xia Xue stare at him, so he could give him some confidence, please?

Qin Chuyu thought for a while, "Where are the examination papers over the years?"

"I'll get it now, slave." In order to prevent Chunzhu from saying something that shouldn't be said, Xia Xue dragged him away.

The best way to get ready is to read the previous papers, and then focus on which books the knowledge points are in and what the ratio is, so that at least you can get a pass.

If the century-old foundation of the Hou Mansion was ruined by him, Qin Chuyu really felt ashamed of An Lehou and his wife, not to mention their ancestors, because they were not too familiar with each other.

The thick books were moved to the study room, and he blew away the dust on them. There were nine volumes of the Four Books and Five Classics alone, as well as the opinions of famous scholars, including Sun Tzu's Art of War, travel notes, geography, and nine chapters of arithmetic?The corners of Qin Chuyu's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that he was not very familiar with this ancient time, and some of them were still the same.

Exam papers from previous years have always been there, and Xia Xue had prepared them a month ago, but Qin Chuyu didn't read any of them.

The first thing Qin Chuyu read was the test papers. He spent one night reading through nearly ten years of test papers, and there were many good articles in them.The conclusion is that the test questions in the Four Books account for 40.00%, the analysis questions in the Five Classics generally come out later, the proportion is 30.00%, and the final articles are about agriculture and business, accounting for 15.00%. The following travel notes, geography, arithmetic, art of war and the like accounted for [-]%.

Regardless of whether it was a difficult question or an easy question, these ratios did not fluctuate very much, and Qin Chuyu was relieved a lot.It should be fine if you pass, right?
