Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

The students who entered the examination institute stood back and forth in order, and after a while, the officials took them into the hut one by one. Don't think that a search outside the examination institute is the end, it's just an appetizer Just side dishes.

The yamen servants were very nimble, and people only saw people coming and going in and out of that hut, and soon it was Xu Jian's turn.

When Xu Jian was a child, he often heard about his adoptive father taking him to the scientific examination, so he was familiar with the procedures in it.The second body search in the examination hall is very strict. In addition to the clothes and shoes and socks, the seven orifices including the hair are the focus of the inspection.

Although it would make people feel very uncomfortable to think about it, but if you don't check, you can't take the exam, so Xu Jian bit the bullet and followed the two guards.

After entering the hut, the guard first checked Xu Jian's ears and mouth, then let him let his hair loose, and finally grabbed Xu Jian's butt while Xu Jian was not paying attention.

Xu Jian was attacked from behind, and instinctively tensed his muscles to look back. Just as he turned his head, the person in front of Xu Jian reached out and patted his lower abdomen again, and heard the echo without any abnormality. Then he said: "Don't misunderstand, Shangfeng told us to take care of you, so we must not let you take off your pants like others and let us check. But it's hard for us to explain if you don't check, after all, you are here for the first time Exams, I don’t understand anything, if something is brought in, it will be the two of us who lose their heads, so please don’t be offended.”

Xu Jian didn't say anything after hearing that, she tidied up her loose hair and walked out of the house. Now he finally knew why the people who came in before had two walking postures when they went out.It turns out that there are so many ways to search the body, and those who don't pay for it can only suffer.

But why didn't these fathers mention it to him Xu Jian was a little puzzled, but then he remembered the very difficult financial conditions in his family at that time, and fell silent immediately.

After re-searching, those who have no problems will be led by the guards to the master book. There are three open bamboo tubes on the table in front of the master book, with bamboo sticks inserted one by one, and they are brought over. The students go into the bamboo tube at a time to draw out a bamboo stick, and there is the number of the examination room under it.

Xu Jian got the No. [-] room in Di Zi. The location is not bad, the lighting is good and the ventilation is good. Among so many rooms, it can be regarded as a lottery.

After the students had finished taking the exam room, the yamen servants brought them over in batches. At this time, the county magistrate of Fengcheng also came with the exam papers. After confirming the time, the county magistrate asked the students to They entered the examination room and sealed the doors of each examination room with seals.

After the seal is pasted, it will never be opened unless the exam is over.

After Xu Jian entered the examination room, he first observed the surrounding environment. There was only a table, a chair, a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and an unused candle.After placing these things in a small space, there is no room for turning around.

There is also a small cylinder in the corner of the room. Xu Jian knows what it is for. There is a small window on the wall next to the door, only the size of a human head. It is the window for delivering meals at noon, and it is also the inspection adult. The monitoring port used to observe the status of the students in the examination room.

As the doors of each examination room were sealed one after another, the examination questions for this year's county examination were also handed in from the outside through the small window.

Xu Jian took the test questions and unpacked them. The four books were from "The Doctrine of the Mean", while the five classics were from "Spring and Autumn".

Seeing this, Xu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his bet was right.

It turned out that before the exam, Xu Jian deliberately inquired about the situation of the county magistrate, and learned that he was taking the "Spring and Autumn" Juren during the county exam. Presumably this person is the best at writing this book among the five classics, so He will focus on "Spring and Autumn" in the next review.

Now looking at the questions posed by the county magistrate, it turns out that his hard work these days has not been in vain.

Thinking of this, Xu Jian studied the ink vigorously while drawing the manuscript in his heart. When he felt that it was almost done, he unfolded the rice paper and started to write on it with a brush and ink.

When people are doing things with peace of mind, time always passes very fast.Xu Jian didn't know when it was noon, but he only knew that after handing in the papers, he was really thirsty, so he couldn't help asking for a bowl of hot soup while eating.Then he was too absorbed in the afternoon exam, so when he finished answering the afternoon exam paper, he felt that his stomach was about to explode.

So there is really no need to mention the bad mood later, anyway, when he walked out of the examination institute, his face must have looked very bad, otherwise Yue Jiu didn't have to be so cautious when picking him up.

Shen Chenai, who was waiting outside with Yue Jiu, originally wanted to ask Xu Jian how the exam was, and asked him to go out for a meal together, but after seeing Xu Jian's face, he fell silent.But God knows, Xu Jian's bad complexion wasn't because he did badly in the exam.

This problem was not known until a few days later when the government tried to release the list.

But at this moment, Xu Jian was really not in the mood to eat. After a few polite words with Shen Chenai, he left in a hurry with the other students. After returning home, the first thing Xu Jian did was to He fell asleep all the time, and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Shen Chenai saw off Xu Jian, who was full of exhaustion, and bought a new pair of cotton shoes on the way back.There is no way that the paparazzi of their family have recently changed their teeth. It may be that the teeth are specially raised when the teeth grow outwards, so the paparazzi who have always been well-behaved have recently begun to cause damage at home.

Shoes and clothes in the house, the sides of cabinets, the corners of chairs.As long as there is a place where they can bite, there is no piece that has not been bitten by them.

When he got up early this morning, Luo Ding found that the pair of cotton shoes he often wore had been bitten to pieces by two puppies.

Seeing the two puppies with innocent faces rushing towards him wagging their tails, Luo Ding still patted their heads fiercely, and then pointed to his shoes.Knowing that he made a mistake, the son of a bitch slipped away obediently with his tail between his legs, leaving Luo Ding alone sighing at his worn cotton shoes.

This scene was clearly seen by Shen Chenai on the heated kang, but fortunately, those shoes had been worn for a long time, so in the end Shen Chenai simply threw the shoes to the paparazzi to play with, while she took advantage of the time to go home, According to Luo Ding's size, I bought him another pair at the market.

When Shen Chenai arrived home, Yuegui ran off to play somewhere else. Mrs. Chen was sitting on the kang in the west room, teaching Xiao Shan to speak bit by bit, while the two puppies who were changing their teeth were licking their teeth in the yard. Running wildly in Luo Ding's broken cotton shoes.

The puppies have been putting the pair of ripped cotton shoes in front of the tiger, trying to arouse its interest. Unfortunately, this kind of game is quite interesting for the puppies, but the mother dog does not participate at all. Come in mean.

Sometimes it is really annoying to be entangled by the puppies, and the tiger will growl in a low voice to warn its puppies.

Seeing that the two puppies had temporarily shifted their targets, Shen Chenai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to worry about waking up, and something would become riddled with holes.

Seeing Shen Chenai entering the house, Mrs. Chen handed over the hill she was holding in her arms to him, and went down to the ground to light the fire and prepare dinner.

Shen Chenai hugged the hill up and down, feeling that the child was a lot heavier. She was thinking about the baby-fat Yuegui recently. It seems that the two children have gained a lot of flesh in the past few months, which proves that they should be well-raised. .

Thinking of this, Shen Chenai, who was in a good mood, took out a book from her bookshelf. When she saw the cover of the book, it happened to be the disciple's book, so Shen Chenai opened the book and read to Xiao Shan who was still learning to speak: "Disciple Rules, sages' instructions, the first filial brother, the second sincere letter..."

Mrs. Chen, who was lighting a fire in the outer room, listened to Shen Chenai reading the Disciple Rules to Xiao Shan in the room, with an envious look on her face.She knew that Brother Chen went out early today to help his friends who took the government exam.

Brother Chen is so outstanding, his friend must be a person with great knowledge, maybe in a few years their Fengcheng will have another Juren or even Jinshi.

Even if it wasn't, then look at the hills, you can listen to the teachings of the sage at a young age, thinking about your grandson, he still can't read a few big words when he is a teenager.

Hey, it's incomparable.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen sighed heavily, thinking that Luo Ding is really lucky, marrying a learned man and coming back, the children and grandchildren of the family will benefit from it endlessly.In the future, if Xiao Shan passes the exam, then Luo Ding will be regarded as changing his family and honoring his ancestors.

Even if Xiao Shan did not pass the exam, he would not take the imperial examination.But as long as he can learn painting from Brother Chen, not only will he not starve to death, but he will also be respected wherever he goes, which is much better than those who dig and eat people in the land.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen's heart was not only moved, but she was thinking of her youngest grandson. That child has been in poor health since he was a child. No matter how the family takes care of him, he is still with dry bones.

With that kind of body, the family members dare not let him go to the ground, fearing that he will be exhausted after not doing much work.But that child is about to be ten years old, and a child of this age is already half of the family's labor force.The conditions of their family are not that rich, so the child's future will become the most worrying thing for Mrs. Chen and the others.

Originally, the adults in the family wanted to send him to that shop as an apprentice. If he couldn’t cultivate land, he must have a craft to make a living. However, the restaurants and salt gangs are the most numerous in Fengcheng. These two places are too Chaos, let them send their children there is really worrying.

It would be great if I could send the children to Shen Chenai's side, not to mention being a student, even if it was to serve Shen Chenai by my side for a few years, it would be fine to let the children know how to write and count, even if it was for Shu Xiu.

Mrs. Chen, who had something on her mind, was hesitant to speak for the next few days. Just when she was thinking about whether to open the mouth with Shen Chenai, the county government posted the list of this government examination. Not only is Jane's name on the list, but her position is not too low.
