The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, he quickly let go, and took the other's hand to check carefully.

There were a few tooth marks on the white and tender fingers, but fortunately there was no bite bleeding.

He held the other person's hand and blew a few breaths, "Does it still hurt? Don't be so messy next time, do you hear me?"

Shi Yunchen curled his lips, did not speak, and continued to look at him with pitiful eyes.

This made Lu Xiuyuan a little embarrassed, he doesn't seem to be able to coax people?

"Achen?" He called out tentatively.

"It still hurts." The other party's watery eyes were shining.

He thought about it, didn't know how to comfort him, and finally kissed the tooth marks on the young master's finger lightly, and said like coaxing a child: "Okay, the pain has been driven away, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's silly appearance, the other party couldn't help being amused by him.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

When Shi Yunchen spoke, it meant that he was coaxed, and then he put his hands on his chest and began to teach the other party.

"Don't do this next time, it's so dangerous, what if you bite it, don't make such a fuss."

"Okay, I see." The other party responded obediently.

Lu Xiuyuan glanced sideways at the sky outside, there was still some time before the sun went down.

"Then play for yourself first, and I'll chat with you when I'm free after reviewing." After speaking, he continued to recite the article in his hand silently.

Looking at the paper in his hand, Lu Xiuyuan felt that he was not concentrating enough.

It may be related to the reason why he has been studying all day. He obviously feels that his energy is not as good as that in the morning, and the efficiency of endorsement has also been greatly reduced.

He pinched himself to refresh himself, and quickly found a blank piece of paper beside him, copying and memorizing it to help him deepen his memory.

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's serious and hard-working appearance, Shi Yunchen was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he simply left to prepare the carriage.

Judging by the endorsement, after reading these articles, it will probably be very late again, and I have to ride an ox cart with others when I go home. I can't bear to think about it. If I take a horse-drawn carriage, I can still take a rest on the road meeting.

At this time, Lu Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to the people around him, but kept writing by heart, and continued to read the article.

Fortunately, he finally memorized everyone's answers to the second question of the Four Books before the sun set.

Forget it, in addition to doing the questions today, I also memorized an article of more than 1 words, no wonder my head is groggy.

However, he has also gained a lot, at least he has some vocabulary skills for answering the questions.

Although this kind of cramming exam-oriented education is often criticized, the stereotyped text of the imperial examination is a stepping stone. Once you knock on it, you will not rely on the stereotyped text to govern the country in the future.

The essence of the imperial examination is to select talents.

Seeing that the sun was about to set outside, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone to Dr. Xu's place yet. Although his elder brother had helped bring the luggage back, he said he would go today, so he still had to go.

Standing up and pulling away the chair, he went to the yard to do some activities. He sat for a whole day today, and there was no part of his body that was not stiff.

After a little stretching, Lu Xiuyuan went to say goodbye to Shi Yunchen.

"The food is ready, don't you stay for dinner?" the other party asked.

He shook his head slightly and refused: "No, no, I still have to go to the Ping'an Hall before it gets dark."

"Okay then." Shi Yunchen looked a little disappointed, "The carriage is ready for you, you can go back directly in the carriage later."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Xiuyuan shook the other party's hand, "Then we will see you tomorrow."

"There is a snack I just put in the compartment drawer. If you're hungry, eat something to fill your stomach." Shi Yunchen shouted towards his back.

He also turned around and waved, "Okay, I see~"

Watching Lu Xiuyuan go away, Shi Yunchen returned to the dining table lonely to eat alone.

Sitting in the carriage, due to the close distance between Shifu and Ping'an Hall, he felt that his buttocks were not yet seated, and he heard the coachman remind him that he had arrived at his destination.

Lu Xiuyuan jumped out of the car and took a look. There were no patients in the lobby.

I guessed in my heart that it might be because the door was closed for too long before, and today is the first time to open the door, and no one knows the reason yet.

Walking into the lobby, Dr. Xu was drinking tea, and shopkeeper Li next to him was chatting with Shishi while eating melon seeds, talking about what he had seen and heard in Longmenguan before.

When shopkeeper Li saw Lu Xiuyuan coming in, he quickly got up and brought him a chair, "Lu, Lu Xiucai, sit down quickly!"

He looked at the scene in front of him with an embarrassed expression, "What are you doing, shopkeeper?"

"After hearing about the incident at the border, I just realized that Lu Xiucai's medical skills are still so good." Shopkeeper Li smiled at him, "Thinking of the Shanglu incident before, I still have doubts about you, and I feel a little embarrassed."

"It's been so long, I've already forgotten it, the shopkeeper doesn't have to keep it in mind."

Lu Xiuyuan took the bench and sat down beside Dr. Xu, "Master, it's getting late today, I'm going to go back after sitting here for a while."

Dr. Xu frowned, "Looking at the weather outside, I thought you wouldn't come today, why did you come so late?"

When the master asked, he didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly told the other party about his study plan for today.

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's listless look, Dr. Xu thought it would be inconvenient for him to run back and forth in the village, so he suggested it.

"Why don't you tell your family members that you might as well live here in the future?"

Lu Xiuyuan thought for a while, and felt a little moved, but he was also a little embarrassed, "Are you going to cause trouble for Master?"

When Dr. Xu heard this, his eyes widened, "Trouble? What trouble? Isn't it just a matter of eating extra chopsticks?"

Seeing the other party like this, he couldn't help laughing, "Then I will trouble Master."

Dr. Xu doesn't care much about these things, but now that he has decided to live in the Ping'an Hall, it's better for people to go back and tell his family members earlier.

"It's getting late, you should go back and tell your family first, and you can just bring a change of clothes tomorrow."

Lu Xiuyuan thought about the future review, so he can't live in the town forever?This way, you spend less time with your family.

He has only been back from the border for a day, so he should go home early to accompany Mrs. Zhang.

So Lu Xiuyuan nodded, without being polite to Dr. Xu, he got up and left to go home.

When he left, he stepped out of the lobby door, and vaguely heard the surprised voice of Shopkeeper Li inside.

"Shishi, did I hear you right? Lu Xiucai called Dr. Xu Master?"

Not caring about what happened behind him, Lu Xiuyuan directly got into the carriage, talked to the groom who was driving the carriage, then leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage was walking on the dirt road, and Lu Xiuyuan was a little sleepy, he patted his cheek to make himself more sober, and then he still recited those few articles silently in his heart, carefully comprehending the thoughts that the other party wanted to express.

Although the idea of ​​studying was good, the excessive mental activity still made him fall asleep leaning against the carriage.

When he arrived at the destination and Lu Xiuyuan was woken up, he was still a little unresponsive.

Didn't you just endorse it?

He jumped out of the carriage with a dazed expression, and then watched the carriage go away.

He rubbed his head, drank some water at the door, and washed his face, and then managed to pull himself together and walked into the door.

In the yard, Xiaolian was teasing the cow with hay, and poked the nose of the cow with the tip of the straw from time to time.

The cow was itchy from being poked, and snorted at her face, and then made Xiao Lian salivate.

It was obvious that the little girl was dumbfounded, curled her lips, wiped her face with her sleeve in disgust, and continued to poke Niu's nose.

This bear boy!

Lu Xiuyuan was immediately laughed angrily by her, he took two steps forward and pulled her over, "So busy? Have you finished all the homework assigned by the master?"

Um?Xiao Lian blinked her eyes, and when she found out that it was her uncle, she was pleasantly surprised and wanted to jump on him.

"Uncle, you are back!"

"You're covered in cow's saliva, don't rub me." Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from the other party.

The little girl lowered her head and sniffed herself, "It's tasteless, not dirty." After speaking, she unconsciously wanted to rush forward.

Lu Xiuyuan directly put his hand against Xiao Lian's head, "You can't touch me until you change your clothes."

The little girl pursed her mouth unwillingly, and complained aggrievedly: "Uncle, you are too much!"

"Did you finish your homework? Just play like this?" he asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Lian instantly felt complacent, and put her hands on her hips, "I've already finished memorizing such a simple homework!"

Seeing the other party's proud look, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help asking: "What have you learned now?"

"We have already learned the Liren chapter. The master asked us to memorize it first, and explain the meaning to us tomorrow."

I have already learned the fourth chapter of the Analects of Confucius. As a child, this progress is quite fast.

"Then it looks like our Xiaolian has already memorized it?" He asked tentatively.

"Of course!" The little girl raised her jaw, "I'm the first one in our school to memorize it!"

"Xiao Lian is so powerful?" Lu Xiuyuan pretended to be surprised and praised.

Hearing this, the other party covered his mouth and laughed happily, "Uncle, let me tell you, Lin Zhi was the one who memorized the fastest in the original school, but since I went there, every time I am the first to memorize it in class I'm the only one!"

He was quite surprised that Xiao Lian was so talented in reciting, but if she is the number one in the school, will she be bullied?

"Is there anyone in the school who bullies you because you are No.1 or from another village?"

If there is such a situation, it is still necessary to intervene to stop it as soon as possible. Children are the most innocent and meaningless at this time, and they will not know how much their random isolated behavior will affect others.

What's more, Xiaolian is still a girl.

Hearing Lu Xiuyuan's question, Xiao Lian waved her fist and said domineeringly, "Don't worry, uncle, I have convinced anyone who bullies me! I, Lu Lian, are the boss of the school now!"

Whoa!It seems that he is overthinking.

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help smiling, and rubbed the little girl's head, it's good to be fierce, so at least he doesn't have to worry about being bullied by others.

"Uncle, do you want me to recite it to you? I can still tell the general meaning!" Xiao Lian tilted her head and looked at him eagerly.

"Then you recite it, uncle, listen." Lu Xiuyuan did not discourage the little girl's enthusiasm, and put on an appearance of listening attentively.

Seeing this, Xiao Lian giggled, shook her head and began to recite in a childish voice.

"The Master said: "Benevolence is beauty.If you choose not to be benevolent, how can you know? ", this sentence probably talks about being with good people, you are good, if you hang out with bad people, how can you prove that you are good?"

……

Lu Xiuyuan listened carefully. He found that Xiao Lian didn't stutter when she recited, and she articulated clearly and fluently. Although the annotations of some sentences were not standard, it was great for her age!

The more he listened to it, the more he thought it was a good seed, until the other party shook his head and recited the 19th paragraph.

"... The Master said: "When parents are here, if you don't travel far, you must travel well. ", this sentence means that when your parents are here, don't go far away. If you want to go far away, you must tell your parents where you are going."

Hearing these words, Lu Xiuyuan felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart, and he looked at the busy figure in the kitchen with some guilt.

He couldn't listen to what Xiaolian said later, and when the other party finished reciting, he led the little girl to wash her hands.

Lu Xiuyuan explained to Zhang in a nervous mood that in order to save time for his stomach, he decided to move to the town and come back to live for one day every ten days.

Seeing his nervousness, Mrs. Zhang came over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Why this expression? Isn't it a good thing to save two hours of running back and forth and read more books?"

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head and said nothing, because he saw the loneliness in the other party's smile.
