I sold soy sauce in ancient times

"Let me take you there, see if there is anything you need to add." At this moment, Shangguan Xing looked at Xia Fei and said.

Xia Fei glanced at Shangguan Xing, "Okay, let's go." Xia Fei took his own baggage, and directly went to their room with Shangguan Xing to have a look.Xiang Chen and Ma Nanping were left here, and Xiang Chen just wanted to discuss with Ma Nanping about his examination for a scholar.

"Sir, is it easy to be a scholar?" Xiang Chen looked at Ma Nanping and asked suddenly.

"It depends on one's talent." Ma Nanping glanced at Xiang Chen, what he said made Xiang Chen really speechless.This can also depend on the efforts of the day after tomorrow.It is useless to only look at talent.

"Isn't the hard work the day after tomorrow important?" Xiang Chen asked Ma Nanping a little speechlessly.

"You want to be a scholar?" Ma Nanping didn't answer Xiang Chen's question, but asked Xiang Chen curiously.

"That's right, but I'm not interested in an official career if I'm only a scholar." Xiang Chen nodded directly, he only wanted to be a scholar.

"I'm not interested, why do I need to be a scholar?" Ma Nanping didn't understand Xiang Chen's thoughts at all, and he didn't actually want to be an official.However, he was constantly forced by his father to take the exam.Now that his father is gone, he also wants to live according to his own ideas.With Xia Fei living like this, he didn't want to take an official career test.As an official, he always felt that he was not that material.

"Only when you pass the examination as a scholar can you not kneel before officials." Xiang Chen expressed his thoughts directly without any shyness, and Ma Nanping stared at Xiang Chen with wide-eyed eyes.

This reason is the first one he has heard since he was studying for such a reason.Among the various reasons he encountered, the first one was because of this reason.

"Are you serious?" Ma Nanping asked Xiang Chen in disbelief.

"Of course, why don't you only pass the exam as a scholar?" Xiang Chen nodded seriously, and Ma Nanping looked at Xiang Chen's serious expression.I knew that Xiang Chen really thought so.

"You can read, did the boy take the exam?" Ma Nanping calmed down and asked Xiang Chen.

"No, to be honest, I don't like to make articles. I read it all by myself. It's really a big head. I want my husband to teach me some articles, so that it will be easier. Of course, I and other people are also The same mutual cultivation. Naturally, there will be more." Xiang Chen looked at Ma Nanping and said.

"You don't want me to teach you directly, what kind of essays can pass the exam directly?" Ma Nanping and Xiang Chen are familiar with each other now, and they don't need those dragging essays anymore.He didn't like these all the time, and the beginning of further study was only for his father.

"It's about the same. I'm at this age. I don't want to learn from the beginning. I really can't bear it. These things are really hard to see. I still have a lot of things to do. Deal with it, and I don't have so much time to study. The autumn exam is coming soon, see if there is a quick way. If you pass this boy student, you can take the township exam tomorrow in the spring." Xiang Chen looked at Ma Nanping and said , because of Kong You.He will often see officials, but not often.However, there will always be an official.They were common people who would kneel when they saw an official, and he was really not used to it.He didn't kneel last time because of Kong You.However, it will be hard to say next time.

"There is still one month left for the child's trial, are you sure?" Ma Nanping looked at Xiang Chen in disbelief.

"It depends on Mr.'s teaching and my own ability." Xiang Chen nodded seriously.

"When did you start studying articles, and to what extent. Tell me in detail." Ma Nanping looked at Xiang Chen and said seriously.

Xiang Chen roughly talked about the time he spent studying this ancient prose.Of course it couldn't be in modern times. He also learned these things for several years in modern times. In those few years, his grandfather's health was not as good as before.His biggest hobby is to read these ancient documents. Others are busy and no one wants to read them with his grandfather.

During that time he was at home on vacation and had nothing to do.If you think about it, just stay with his grandfather. After all, since childhood, his grandfather treated him better than his parents.Naturally, he was doing his filial piety, and at first he watched it together.In the end, grandpa was too tired to watch together.Just let him read, if he doesn't learn well.I can't read it at all, and I always break a sentence wrong.

Ma Nanping frowned when he heard what Xiang Chen said.This is the meaning of not learning any articles. It is indeed difficult to test by yourself.

"In this case, you can study with me starting tonight." Ma Nanping said after thinking for a while.

Hearing these words, Xiang Chen felt that her evening time was also taken up.There are daytime things during the day, and nighttime things at night.I'm really too busy now, I might have to plant herbs tomorrow.I'm going to be very busy again.

"What's the matter?" Ma Nanping looked at Xiang Chen with some puzzlement, if he wanted to take the Tongsheng Exam.You have to learn it right away, don't look at it as just a child's test.It is not so easy to pass the exam.

"It's okay, let's start tonight. Those children will come over tomorrow. Do you think the class will start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Xiang Chen looked at Ma Nanping and asked.

"I still need to take a look at the records of these students. Let's check the situation tomorrow. Let's start teaching the day after tomorrow." Ma Nanping replied after thinking for a while.

"Most of these children are for literacy, sir, it's better not to dislike it." Xiang Chen knew that the salary of the husband here also depends on the qualifications of the students, and most of these students may only be literate.You don't need to look at whether you can be admitted to Juren's qualifications, it may not be there.

Ma Nanping looked at Xiang Chen in surprise, "I understand." He nodded his head.

"The house here is really nice, much better than your run-down house." At this moment, Xia Fei and Shangguan Xing came in from the outside.Xia Fei complained directly that Ma Nanping's house was indeed a bit broken.Over the years, all the money was used up to give Ma Nanping the exam.Xia Fei only met Ma Nanping in the past two years, and he knew about the past.

"As long as you like it." Ma Nanping said indifferently, and he didn't really care about these things.Xiang Chen felt that this Ma Nanping was no different from other scholars.I really have no requirements for life, as long as I can pass the imperial examination.

"Well, let's live here from now on. Anyway, I will deduct your Shu Xiu." Xia Fei likes this place more, there are many people here.In that house, apart from him, there were only two people, Ma Nanping.Ma Nanping spends most of his time reading because he has nothing else to do.When he was bored, he wanted to go out to practice medicine.However, he also adapted to his master.As long as he gets married, he can't practice medicine, so he didn't open a medical clinic.

"Okay, you can make up your mind." Ma Nanping acted as if he believed in Xia Fei's opinion, but Xiang Chen was a little surprised.Shuang'er's status in this world is not high, and ordinary families will not marry Shuang'er as their main wife.A scholar like Ma Nanping would not marry Shuang'er as his wife.

"There are two schools here, but we may only be able to open one at the beginning." The total number of these students counted by Xiang Chen is only about [-].They can be taught together, and the age difference between these children is not too great.Neither very small nor very large, almost all around the age of seven or eight.

"Well, I'm the only one. I can only teach one class." Ma Nanping nodded.

"At night, I'll be in another school. Give me a lesson." Xiang Chen looked at Ma Nanping and said.

"Okay." Ma Nanping didn't have any objection, just nodded directly.

"Then sir, rest first, someone will bring the food." Xiang Chen looked at Ma Nanping and continued.

"Really, it's great. I don't have to cook by myself, I hate what I cook." Xia Fei was even more satisfied with this place when he heard that he still took care of the food.

"Actually, you did a good job." Ma Nanping looked at Xia Fei seriously, as if Xia Fei really did a good job.

"Everything you eat is good. When your father was around, the one you made yourself couldn't eat it. Don't you think it's good too. The key is that you and your father both eat with gusto. Me too I really convinced you, I was almost beaten to death after I tasted it." Xia Fei said directly without giving Ma Nanping a slap in the face, his father used to eat these things made by Ma Nanping.Can eat it, his father knows that a scholar can't go to the kitchen.However, they had no money to hire a cook.In the end, only Ma Nanping went to the kitchen by himself. After all, his father's health was not good.It's impossible to get out of bed and cook for him. It seems that Ma Nanping's father is really good to him.

"It's fine if you're familiar with it." Ma Nanping's request was too low, and both Xiang Chen and Shangguan Xing looked at Ma Nanping in shock.This requirement is really too low, and such people live the best life.Because he can survive with a little food, Xiang Chen feels that his life is the same as before.If it were replaced by this person, he would definitely be able to live well.

"Why are you here?" At this time, Kong You and Xiang Bao also got up.I didn't see Xiang Chen in the backyard, so when I knew they were here, I came here directly.Kong You was still yawning, as if he hadn't woken up.

"What time is it, you guys just woke up?" Shangguan Xing looked at the two of them dissatisfied.

"I won't do it next time." Xiang Bao lowered his head in embarrassment. He was brought up late several times by Kong You.He himself felt embarrassed, when he was farming.When will you wake up so late.

"Don't be late, you're so tired at night. It's normal to go to bed late, you can wake up whenever I wake up." Kong You said indifferently.

"Stop talking." Xiang Bao looked at Kong You with some embarrassment, really, don't talk about this directly here.There are outsiders here.Kong You is shameless, but he still needs shame.
