After tossing and tossing for a while, Wang Zisheng felt that this body was finally his own, and it was sore.This feeling is really uncomfortable, move your neck, and hear the servant girl say: "Young Master Wang is going to prepare a meal." Wang Zisheng said weakly: "No need, it's a hot day, I don't have an appetite, get some ice and put it in the room to cool down Bar!"

The servant girl backed away after answering, and Duanyin came in after a while, holding a food box in her hand, and said: "I know that the uncle can't eat it now, so why not try this." Opening the food box, a cold breath came out. It was very comfortable, and when I took a closer look, there were two bowls inside, one bowl was plum soup with ice balls on it; the other bowl was various fruits cut into cubes, and a layer of white yogurt was poured on top. The colorful collocation makes people move their index fingers.Duan Yin said, "This is yogurt and fruit soup, which has been kept iced. Try it, Mr. Lin ordered the cook to make this." Wang Zisheng's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the word "Mr. Lin" When he got up, without waiting for others to do anything, he directly brought over a bowl of yoghurt and fruit soup. After taking the first bite, he immediately felt refreshed. He didn't know whether it was due to the yoghurt and fruit soup or Mr. Lin.

Duan Yin saw that Wang Zisheng ate it, and he breathed a sigh of relief, even the little maids in the room also breathed a sigh of relief.Duanyin continued: "This is not an ordinary thing. I heard that it was a prescription handed down by the ancestors of the Lin family, but later the Lin family also moved from Jinling to the capital. The weather is not so hot, so this prescription is not very useful. It was the same year when Mr. Lin went back to his hometown for the exam, he was so hot that he couldn’t eat or sleep, but his body couldn’t hold the ice, so the old housekeeper thought about it for a long time before he remembered it.”

While listening, Wang Zisheng ate almost all of this sea bowl, and then let go. He was still a little bit unsatisfied, and was withdrawn by the clever maid. Duanyin waved his hand, and a team of maids came in with food boxes. They are all small dishes, each with bright colors, and there is only one meat dish among them.Prince Katsuki, who finally felt hungry, began to eat.

Not only Wang Zisheng, Yang Mu and Jia She also experienced this feeling of surviving after a catastrophe.

In the afternoon, when the three of them gathered in the main room, Lin Ruhai brought the papers that had been corrected. Wang Zisheng blushed when he saw it. The writing is worse, the handwriting is sloppy, some Wang Zisheng doesn’t know what he wrote, and those who don’t know think it’s a ghost-hunting charm drawn by a Taoist priest, and there are various ink drips on it, one piece on the left, one piece on the right, the whole piece The paper gives people a feeling that it is a work of graffiti, which is difficult to be elegant.This kind of paper is handed in, and the examiner will take a look at it, and I'm afraid it will be thrown out.Yang Mu was also ashamed. In all fairness, this question was not difficult at all, but the condition at that time was really bad, and the paper was also sloppy.Jia Amnesty also felt blushing, but he didn't pay attention at the time, sweat dripped onto the paper and stained the ink, and it turned into black balls, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Lin Ruhai stood up and poured herbal tea for the three of them with his own hands, before saying: "In fact, there are many unwritten rules in the imperial examination, I hope the three virtuous brothers will keep them in mind. First, the rolls should be clean and tidy. Don't paint or change them. There are drips on them. Ink ink; the second is the font, it must be in the style of a pavilion, this is not negotiable; the third is to remember to be impetuous; the fourth is to learn to be calm, and the mountain collapses in front of you without changing your color, and people are rolling melons outside the examination room Randomly familiar scriptures, when I see the test papers, I can’t remember them suddenly, and then lose my calmness, hysteria, resulting in many people who can’t answer the questions, so calmness is a must. After handing out the test papers, the first The thing is to read it roughly from the beginning to the end, both the front and the back, so as not to miss the questions. After reading it, you will feel that you are sure. The bottom is over, and the next thing to do is to put down the test paper and look around the numbered room for a week. In some numbered rooms, it is inevitable that the roof leaks, and a series of problems. At this time, it is not a matter of patience, but to create The best conditions and the most comfortable environment to take the exam, Yang Mu has done a good job and deserves praise."

Jia Sheqi said: "This house is so bad, doesn't the imperial court allocate money to maintain it every year? The imperial examination is the imperial court's top priority, shouldn't it?" Lin Ruhai laughed: "The imperial court naturally attaches importance to it. Approved by the Ministry, and then it becomes 'peeling' layer by layer." His eyes darkened and he said: "From the household department to the provincial level, then the prefectural capital and county, and then to the township, and finally turned into bricks, tiles and wood, labor and hard workers , so there are rooms that are ventilated, leaky, and small and narrow." Looking at the three people, he said in a deep voice: "As for the people who have already passed, they are all masters. On the surface It is said that one can be a master if one suffers through hardships. As for whether one is thinking about the fear of future generations, who knows? Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, who likes to be busy. There are many mistakes. This is the only magic weapon for people in the officialdom. If that stunned young man really brought it up, what the court will say is that everyone else is fine, so why are you the only one who has a lot of trouble? , that didn’t come from it, so it’s fine anyway, so it’s because you can’t use it, and you can’t even stand the slightest bit of fatigue.”

Jia She said angrily: "This is all fallacious theory. What's wrong with being more comfortable? Could it be that the Grand Scholars have no children and grandchildren? Don't they take the imperial examination? Does the old man have no disciples? Don't their disciples want to be famous? "

Yang Mu pondered for a while, and said: "If that stunned young man said it, he would definitely be excluded, and he might not be able to stay in the officialdom. Besides, the matter in the court does not require money, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the drought in the north, and the war the day after tomorrow. They need military pay, and the day after tomorrow they need to repair gardens, repair this and that, and everything needs money. Especially famine, not only relief, but also tax exemption, so that the imperial treasury will lose another piece of money. This is the house! Anyway, it won’t collapse, so we can live together! Anyway, it’s only a few days, and those who can’t make it through are those who have lost their reputations, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Lin Ruhai nodded, "It's such a strange circle that the conditions are not up or down, and we have to get used to it. This is still good. If it catches up with March and April, when the spring is cold and the weather changes, it will be pitiful. Many candidates will suffer from frostbite. , there is no way, even to get rid of the root of the disease, for a lifetime. After a while, I will go to the front, the room with a special door for exercise, and it will be cool, and I will have a set of punches. Only when the bones are recovered will there be other things. At night In the main room, let’s read books together and rewrite the questions that I didn’t know in the morning, that’s all.”
