Scholar and old attack

"Whoa whoa whoa."

Xu Shuizhou was breastfeeding the baby in his arms. He was in a hurry by himself. Just as he put his sister down, his brother was crying and needed to be coaxed. After coaxing his brother, his sister started crying again.

"Wait, did I feed my brother or sister just now?"

Just as Xu Shuizhou coaxed a child to put it down, he turned his back to look at the milk bowl on the table, and patted his forehead. The two children's quarrel completely made him forget who he was going to feed just now.

"Wow wow wow..."

The two children who had just been coaxed began to cry again. Xu Shuizhou looked at the two crying children and thought about it. The younger sister cried the loudest, probably because she was hungry, and picked her up to feed her.

My sister started spitting up milk after just two bites.

"Have you fed too much?"

Xu Shuizhou muttered, put the child on the bed, and picked up the sobbing elder brother to feed him. As soon as the elder brother smelled the sweet smell of milk, he smacked his lips vigorously, his tender mouth wanted to swallow the wooden spoon.

Seeing the child sucking milk vigorously, Xu Shuizhou was completely dumbfounded. Did he not feed his elder brother just now, but kept feeding his younger sister?

"Did you, the little villain, disrupt Dad's rhythm?"

Xu Shuizhou gently pinched his sister's delicate little nose, silently punishing her.

"Hehehe..."

When the younger sister saw Xu Shuizhou's hand, she thought her daddy was playing with her, and she danced and laughed. With her tender little hands, she grabbed and danced vigorously in the air, and her chubby calves were also kicking on the bed.

"Still laughing, look at how you starved my brother, he's not good at all."

Xu Shuizhou pinched her flamboyant little face again. There was really nothing she could do about this "naughty" daughter. She had learned to bully her brother before she was a full-term child. She wouldn't be naughty when she grew up.

Mo Mo drank too much milk, choked a little, Xu Shuizhou didn't care about talking to Qiqi, picked him up and patted the milk, waited for him to calm down, and fed him two more mouthfuls, he was relieved when he saw that he didn't want to eat.

But before he put it down, he felt a hot sensation from his abdomen. He lifted the child's butt and saw that the child had urinated on him.

Xu Shuizhou was about to be laughed at by the two brothers and sisters, and slapped the two children's buttocks lightly, "Next time you pee on daddy, daddy will really kill you. "

"Giggle cluck..."

It was obvious that Xu Shuizhou's punishment didn't have any effect, instead it made the two children laugh even more vigorously, as if it would be fun to make daddy mess up and draw a map on daddy.

"Mother, mother, look after the child for me, I'm going to change clothes."

Xu Shuizhou had no choice but to call for foreign aid because the two children couldn't leave each other.

Chen Xiuxiu walked in after washing her hands, and smiled when she saw the map on Xu Shuizhou's body, "These two kids pissed on you again, next time I piss I'll beat my ass in two."

"It's too hot, and it's easy to get a rash if you stuff it with a diaper. It'll be fine in winter." Xu Shuizhou said he wanted to be punished, but he didn't care at all in his heart.

This is not always the case with children, just get used to it.

"That's not going to work. You can't form a habit for them, or you will be exhausted just washing the sheets and clothes."

Chen Xiuxiu helped Mo Mo change his clothes. His pee just now not only wet Xu Shuizhou's clothes, but also wet his own clothes.

Xu Shuizhou changed into fresh clothes and came out of the room. Seeing the two children who were not crying and making trouble, he smiled, and the dimples on his cheeks became more and more charming. How did the father test go?"

Fang Xinli's whole body was trembling slightly. He didn't know what was written in the letter, and he didn't know if the person in front of him saw something, his head turned white.

The inspector took the letter and tremblingly went inside to find someone. He, a small inspector, couldn't decide on such a big matter.

Fang Xinli waited on the spot with cold hands and feet, not daring to move, thinking in his heart how to excuse his parents if something happened to him.

Jiang Jingyuan and the others had already checked their bodies inside, and when they saw the inspector from the outside come in in a hurry, they found the person in charge inside, and whispered in his ear for a long time.

Jiang Jingyuan slightly evoked a smile, it seemed that things were developing as he expected.

The highest responsible officer here could not make up his mind after hearing the report from the people below, so he hurriedly reported to a higher level.

When people went to report to the people above, Fang Xinli standing at the door was being bombarded by other students. Because of him, the progress of the inspection was infinitely extended, and the others were definitely not happy.

They all whispered to Fang Xinli.

"The student in front doesn't have any problem with his identity." A scholar standing not far behind Fang Xinli looked a little irritable. He saw Fang Xinli's pale face, so there must be something wrong.

When others heard what he said, they echoed, "It seems that he has a problem, and the problem is not small, we have to stay away from him, so as not to be troubled by the fish in the pond."

As soon as this person finished speaking, the people around him took a few steps back in a very tacit understanding. They didn't dare to bet their own future. They managed to get outside the gate of the scientific examination, but they couldn't even get in.

"If you have any problems, you should leave earlier. Isn't this just a waste of time for us?" Someone stood there for a long time and began to complain.

"Hey, hey, today is really unlucky. I thought I would be able to enter the dormitory sooner, but I didn't expect to stand for so long."

Fang Xinli listened to other people's words, and the fear in his heart was infinitely magnified. It was a scorching summer day, but he broke out in a cold sweat. His whole body seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move.

It was passed up layer by layer, and finally the highest level in charge of this scientific expedition was alarmed, and the second-rank, third-rank, fourth-rank, and fifth-rank officials all rushed to the door of the house.

Seeing this group of people appear, the students standing in line at the door were suddenly in an uproar. With so many adults dispatched, it seems that the student standing at the front committed a serious crime.

No matter how curious the heart is, the body still instinctively bows to these adults, "See all the adults."

Then I just waited to see a good show, some good people wanted to remember today's incident firmly, and go back to have fun with other students, but the next scene made everyone's faces swollen.

The adults did not go to look at the scholars who were saluting, but instead saw Fang Xinli who was standing at the door in a daze without saluting at the first sight, with smiles on his normally stern faces, he stepped forward to greet him,

"This must be student Fang."

"what?"

Fang Xinli was surprised by the officials wearing various official uniforms in front of him. Judging from their expressions, they shouldn't come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes... right?

The officials glanced at Fang Xinli who was stunned and smiled. It seemed that their battle was too big to scare the other party, and they quickly comforted him, "Student Fang, don't be nervous, we are just here to say hello to you, there is nothing else to do." mean."

"Oh oh oh"

Fang Xinli quickly regained his senses, heaved a sigh of relief, the cold sweat on his forehead gradually cooled down, and hurriedly bowed to all the adults.

"Don't be too polite, don't be too polite." The adults saw that Fang Xinli was quite polite, and they were satisfied for a while, stroked their beards, and hurriedly told the people below, "I still don't want to find a better one for Fang Xinli." house."

The people below took action immediately.

Fang Xinli was still in a state of ignorance, but at this time the fool also knew that the letter from Jiang Jingyuan was definitely not simple, and he was very grateful to Jiang Jingyuan in his heart.

"Student Fang, take the exam well, we are optimistic about you."

After the adults chatted with Fang Xinli for a few words, the people below had already prepared the best house for Fang Xinli. With the cheers of the adults, Fang Xinli stepped into the room nervously.

Passing all the way, Fang Xinli didn't even check the inspection until he sat in a luxurious dormitory, Fang Xinli was completely relieved, he really passed the scientific inspection!

As soon as Fang Xinli left, there was an uproar outside the whole house.

"What is the origin of that student just now, and it can make all the adults greet you with a smile."

"I don't know. Looking at the face, we just came to Datong."

"All the adults greeted him with more than just smiles. I think they all seemed a little servile. Did you see just now that even the senior officials of the second rank wanted to befriend him."

At this time, there was a scholar who bowed his head in deep thought, hesitant to speak, but the scholars beside him were not fools, so they could see his melancholy, so they pushed him, "It's okay for this brother to speak directly. .”

The scholar who was pushed out saw that everyone was surrounding him, and if he didn't speak, he might not be able to get off the stage, so he had no choice but to say bravely,

"This student used to be a student of our Bo Xue Academy, but he was not well-known among the students. He dropped out after only half a year of study. After that, we don't know much about him."

"No way, Boxue Academy is far worse than Chongyang Academy. He has such a great background, so instead of going to Chongyang Academy, go to Boxue Academy instead?"

Everyone didn't quite believe the student's words. They didn't see that the senior officials of the second grade greeted him with smiles. With this background, why can't they enter the academy.

Amidst all the discussions, someone who knew Fang Xinli finally came out to explain,

"What the student said just now was true. The scholar leader of our Wutong County just now took us to hold poetry meetings. It's just that I don't know what happened this year, and he doesn't want to play with people like us. If so, the Poetry Association will be disbanded.”

"It seems that there is a strong backing. If I knew this, I would have the cheek to hug my thigh."

The man was very regretful as he spoke, thinking that he and Fang Xinli had a pretty good friendship back then, but after the poetry club disbanded, they switched to other poetry clubs, and now thinking about it, it is too late to regret it.

No matter how everyone discussed, Fang Xinli sat in the super luxurious version of the dormitory, wondering what the letter from Jiang Jingyuan was capable of, which could alarm so many adults.

While Fang Xinli was wondering, all the adults were also guessing with their recommendation letters, because this letter was so unusual.

It not only has the official seal of the current Taifu, but also the private official seal of the emperor. The other three sponsors are among the best figures in the court, and their status is much higher than the officials who have been dispatched to other places.

A little talented man can shock the entire court, which talented man in the world can do this.

If it's just an ordinary person, or a person with a certain status, if there is no problem with his status, he can be recommended by just a few people. Why does this student need such a big fanfare.

Questions about his identity?If there is a problem, the emperor will guarantee him?

What background does he have?No matter how big the backstage is, can it be bigger than the emperor?

The court needs him?Makes sense!

Although the imperial examination was extremely popular in this dynasty, there were some amazing and talented people who did not need to pass the imperial examination to become officials, but the court is not the emperor alone.

It has to be agreed by the literati and bureaucrats, and there is no achievement. What can be used to persuade the court, so I have to come up with such a dark secret.

The more the adults thought about it, the closer they felt to the truth, and they even decided that even if this student Fang did not pass the exam this time, he would be ranked in the front row.

The emperor told them his plan so blatantly, he was just a talented man, if the emperor's plan was broken, they were afraid that they would lose their position.

Jiang Jingyuan was sitting in the most ordinary dormitory at the moment, not regretting that he gave Fang Xinli his recommendation letter at all, as long as he could take the imperial examination, it would be the same anywhere.

What's more, he also wanted to see where he was at the level of stereotyped essays he had learned in ancient times for a year. As for the blatant opening of the backstage by the emperor and the master, it was just to scare some young people.

So the recommendation letter didn't even have a signature, which happened to be convenient for Fang Xinli.

----

Wei Liangjun was uneasy at the moment. He didn't know if something happened to Fang Xinli, but he didn't hear any noise outside in the dormitory, and he finally let go of his heart.

If Fang Xinli's identity had really been found out, the house would have been full of excitement by now.

Only Xiao Zilei sat in the dormitory with a speechless face, looked at the dormitory that was as simple as a latrine, and cursed angrily, "Is this young master worthy of living in a dormitory like this?"

"If... if it's my father... forget it."

Xiao Zilei originally wanted to say that if he got his father's recommendation letter, no matter how many people there were, they wouldn't dare to assign him to such a crude dormitory.

But after thinking about it, he had already run away from home, and he had nothing to do with that family's father anymore. Even the letter of recommendation was obtained for him by Jiang Jingyuan, so he immediately fell silent.

It's only been nine days and it's over.

After everyone entered the dormitory, the outside of the dormitory was locked, and the small dormitory assigned to each person was also locked to prevent people from whispering and passing on news.

All the candidates are quietly waiting for the examiner's test paper.

When Jiang Jingyuan got the test paper, he hurriedly glanced at the questions on the test paper, smiled slightly, and as expected, he boredly took out two wooden barrels and started to carve.

It takes nine days and nine nights to do just a few questions, and the days are too tough, so why not do something interesting to adjust your state.

After Xiao Zilei got the test paper, his eyeballs almost popped out. The top question was "On Business Tax". Write a few smart sentences.

After looking through the other questions, most of them were the ones that Jiang Jingyuan told him to review.

Xiao Zilei completely admired Jiang Jingyuan, no wonder Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun listened to him so much, and they were really good at betting, if Jiang Jingyuan was willing to make money from it.

Mountains of gold and silver are not dreams.

Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun also got the test paper at this time, and opened it apprehensively. After seeing the three words on the top, they were also in the same mood as Xiao Zilei, both excited and complicated.

Both are scholars, why is Jiang Jingyuan so outstanding.

Finally, after thinking about it, people cannot be compared with each other, so it is better to try to answer the questions and try to pass the exam.

three days later...

"so boring."

In different places at the same time, Xiao Zilei, Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun sighed at the same time.

It's really boring. They have practiced these questions a long time ago, and they can do it with their eyes closed. As for the questions they can't do, they can't do it even if they scratch their heads.

This leads them to finish the problem, but there is nothing to do.

Besides sleeping in a daze, what else can I do in this dormitory? You can’t bring books or even read them. The important thing is that there are still six days before you can go out.

Only Jiang Jingyuan was still carving his own small wooden barrel. He had expected that he would face such a problem when he came in, so he made plans early.

Sculpture is a thing that needs to be concentrated. Time passes quickly as soon as you concentrate, and six days pass by in a flash.

At this time, Jiang Jingyuan looked at the small wooden barrel that was completely carved in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, and put it aside, then began to grind the ink slowly, and began to write the answers that had been typed in his mind long ago.

There are wailing sounds from time to time in the dormitory next to it. It is really too difficult. You are not allowed to leave the dormitory for nine days and nine nights. There are no books to read and no one to talk to you. Same.

If the concentration is a little weak, maybe you can go crazy directly.

Even Fang Xinli, sitting in the super luxurious dormitory, was rolling with boredom, counting the days on his fingers, when will he be able to go out.

They are really fed up with this place, and they don't want to enter the examination room again in this life.

Only Jiang Jingyuan was still struggling to write, which surprised the candidates in the dormitory opposite him.

A few days ago, everyone thought Jiang Jingyuan was a fool.

For such an important matter of scientific research, I have been sculpting for the first six days, and only started writing for the last three days. Can I read the article I wrote?

I'm afraid it's not sharpening the gun in front of the battle, or breaking the can and smashing it?

But in the last two days, they began to envy Jiang Jingyuan.

At least Jiang Jingyuan didn't have to be as bored as they were. He was so bored that he didn't even want to drive away the mosquitoes. He just leaned on the table like this, watching Jiang Jingyuan burying his head in writing in boredom, with a look of envy on his face.

On the last day, Jiang Jingyuan finally stopped the pen in his hand, massaged his sore right hand, and wrote non-stop except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet for three consecutive days.

His right hand had long been sore and sore, but fortunately there was still some time before the paper was handed in, so he could spare time to give him a good massage.

On the evening of August [-]th, as the examiner handed in the test paper, all the candidates sighed with emotion that they could finally get out of this ghostly place.

When Jiang Jingyuan went out with the crowd, he saw many people's faces were ashen, and even the dark night could not hide their haggardness. I don't know if they didn't pass the exam, or they stayed in the dormitory for too long, and they were a little "unacceptable". .

After waiting for a while, he finally waited until Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun and the others saw that the three of them only looked a little haggard and were fine, and he was slightly relieved.

Just don't be like the few who were dragged out just now...

"How did you get so haggard?"

Jiang Jingyuan asked curiously.

The three of them looked at Jiang Jingyuan, who was still alive and well, with weird expressions, and looked at him like a freak.

"Why don't you look haggard, isn't the time in the dormitory difficult?"

Jiang Jingyuan shook his head indifferently, "Fortunately, I think time passes by in a flash, and I don't think it's too difficult."

"Go to hell you."

The three of them stared at Jiang Jingyuan indignantly, their hatred was too much.

"Go back, or wait for the announcement."

Jiang Jingyuan really wanted to go home, he had been away for more than ten days, and he missed his A Zhou.

"Go home, go home."

Fang Xinli leaned on Wei Liangjun and waved weakly. He was really fed up with the dark days in the examination room. He wanted to go home and enjoy it, otherwise he was really afraid that he would have a nervous breakdown.

When Wei Liangjun came out of the examination room, he stared at Fang Xinli without blinking. Seeing that he was fine, his worried heart in the examination room was relieved.

Hearing that he was going home, he agreed in his heart. After all, he lived in the examination room like a year, and worried about Fang Xinli, he wished he could fly out of the examination room immediately.

Only Xiao Zilei lowered his eyes, everyone has a home, but he has no home.

After 20 days away from home, no one in the family sent anyone to look for him. Datong is such a big place, and his father is the prefect of Datong. He didn't deliberately hide himself, and it was not easy to find him.

Why don't you come to find yourself? It's just that you don't want to recognize him as a useless son.

"You are already very good. You passed the examination of scholar at the age of 14, and the examination of Juren at the age of 16. If there are no accidents this time, you will be at the bottom of the list. Juren at the age of 16 is not common in the Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Jingyuan patted Xiao Zilei on the shoulder, this kid is only 16 years old, he is the age of rebellion, but rebellion can't hide his excellence, it's just that his parents love to compare him with other children, which makes this kid feel a little inferior , an extreme lack of recognition from others.

Xiao Zilei blushed when he heard Jiang Jingyuan's words, this was the first time he heard others praise him.

"If you don't mind, come and live with me for a while."

Jiang Jingyuan stretched out his hand to invite him.

"Husband, Xiaolei..."

Standing not far away in the dark night were two shadows, whispering.

"Go back, we are too strict with Xiaolei, he is only 16 years old after all."

Xiao Kaiqi sighed. Before that, they hadn't realized their own problems. They kept thinking about other people's children, but ignored their own children's feelings.

It wasn't until someone came to the door with a piece of paper that day that they saw repentance for the first time.

It's a pity that some scars can't be repaired just by repairing them.

"Hey, it's all my fault. I can't listen to a word or two of others showing off."

Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears, regretting that she shouldn't talk too much to Xiao Zilei on weekdays, and now she can only sneak a look at her son.

They didn't have any malice, they just wanted their son to grow up quickly, but they forgot that the child was still young, and they backed it up.

It's too late to regret now.

Jiangjia

"Momo, Qiqi, you have to be good, otherwise your father won't like you when he comes back."

Xu Shuizhou hugged the baby in one hand and coaxed softly, the smile on his mouth became more and more warm, and sugar could ooze out of his dimples.

The two children looked at their father stupidly, rolling their dark eyes and laughing loudly.

The calf was still kicking and kicking, and the little foot kicked Xu Shuizhou's arm, which was very comfortable.

Xu Shuizhou chuckled and pinched the cheeks of the two of them, "You two brats, don't think I don't know what you two are thinking, whenever you two want to pee, you will laugh Kick your legs, you have learned how to hide your eyes when you are still young, but unfortunately you are still too tender, Father can see through it at a glance."

Chen Xiuxiu came in with hot water. The weather was fine today, and she wanted to wash the two little guys. Hearing Xu Shuizhou's words, she laughed and said, "These two kids are smart, and they must be two smart ones in the future. You've been tired all day. Let me pee on them."

As Chen Xiuxiu said, she picked up one and stood up to pee the child.

On the way home, Fang Xinli kept chirping, "We will come home early this time, and we will definitely surprise Aunt Xiu and Zhu and Xiao Zhou."

"I think it's more or less frightened." Xiao Zilei curled his lips. He went home early either because he didn't pass the exam, or if he was unsure, his family would definitely be worried.

When they arrived home, Jiang Jingyuan and the others sneaked into the house and headed towards the place where there were children's voices. As soon as they opened the door, a smell of urine fell from the sky...

The author has something to say: I'm here, I'm a little late today, I'm really sorry.
