Gospel of Lazy Cancer

Knowing that Yao Chen woke up, Pu Jiayan took a deep breath and went in with his usual expression.

Pu Jiayan didn't say anything to Yao Chen, he put away the family letter, went to see the old fox, and asked Yao Chen about when he would be able to leave.

"He asked you to ask?" Mrs. Fang was a little surprised, and asked instead of answering.

Park Jiayan shook his head.

"Too urgent." Mrs. Fang looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

"If you miss this year's test, you will have to wait another five years." Park Jiayan had no choice but to ask the old fox for advice.

He was nineteen years old after his birthday, and he really couldn't afford to wait.

The time of the imperial examination was uncertain at the beginning, sometimes one or two years, and now it is officially set to be every three years after ascension to the throne.In autumn, each prefecture conducts a state examination (solution examination), and in the spring of the following year, the Ministry of Rites conducts a provincial examination.

"What are you planning?" Old Master Fang's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the junior he was most optimistic about in front of him vigilantly. He felt that the other party was holding back his big move, but after careful thought, he didn't find any clues.

Pushing Yao Chen into an official career so eagerly, what good will it do him?

"Don't ask, it's not a bad thing." Park Jiayan swore.

Mrs. Fang said sharply: "When did you get into trouble and you thought it was a bad thing?"

Park Jiayan choked for a moment: "This time is different."

He didn't want to get entangled in this topic: "Just give me a straight line, Jing Xing is going to take the exam now, whether he can pass."

"It's up to the sage to decide whether to hit or not..." The old fox was watertight, originally wanted to practice Tai Chi, but seeing that Pu Jiayan was in a hurry and was on the verge of breaking out, he murmured: "Maybe you can give it a try."

"Success! I accept your permission."

Old Fox: Who agreed? !

Park Jiayan went to Yao Chen with the old fox's "meaning". Yao Chen didn't react much after hearing it. He fell into deep thought and didn't notice the tension that Park Jiayan hid so well.

Eat while it's hot... Bah, strike while the iron is hot.

In fact, this vaguely met his expectations, but he was worried about being called frivolous, so he was especially careful in front of his teacher, and he didn't reveal any meaning of taking the exam hastily in an attempt to get away with it.

I really didn't expect the old man to be so open-minded.

Maybe his teacher thinks it's okay for young people to fail, and treat them as setbacks for education.

Yao Chen simply said: "Then listen to the teacher, this year's end, do you have confidence in me?"

"It's not a big joke that Mr. Fang's closed-door disciple didn't pass the test." Pu Jiayan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but his mouth was still unforgiving.

"..." Yao Chen: I'll just pretend you're saying "Of course I have confidence in you".

So Yao Chen worked even harder, and even cut down on the time for dating - the time for sleeping and rest has not moved, this is the last line of defense.

Park Jiayan has no complaints, he will silently stand by while Yao Chen is reading, refilling tea and pouring water.

Yao Chen didn't think it was wrong either. Maybe the little wolf dog was too good in the past, so he got used to it and didn't investigate it carefully.

Occasionally, Yao Chen would also be discouraged, unable to read a book or compose a line of poetry due to irritability.

"It would be fine if I didn't have any fame." He acted like a baby to the little wolf dog.

Pu Jiayan joked: "If you don't have fame, I will find a way to send you to a good place and keep you in captivity in the mansion. I won't let you do anything, and I will spoil you every day."

It's just a dream come true.You don't need to use your brain to eat and sleep with you, just think about it.

This gave Yao Chen inspiration.

He looked up and down Park Jiayan, dressed in brocade clothes, with a flamboyant demeanor, and a stern and aggressive look in his eyes, he looked like a cannon fodder villain, who could lock Xiaoshoushou into a small black house, and then be locked up. The genuine Xiaogong slapped him to death.

The two directed, acted, and entertained themselves with a scene in which bullies force good women and men.

"Please... please let me go." The weak and slender boy shrank back and hid, there were tears in his eyes, as if he had been bullied a lot, so he mustered up the courage to look at the man who controlled everything about him With one glance, after saying this begging for mercy, he lost all strength to resist and could only tremble helplessly.

"Who do you think you're talking to?" The man's voice sounded in the room, cold and domineering, as if merciless, and the burning desire was suppressed inside.

The boy trembled even more violently, and he whimpered: "Don't..." It was like the cry of a small animal.

The man seemed to have lost his little patience, and approached the boy who was about to collapse: "Be smarter for me."

"Don't come here... If you come here again, I, I will call someone..." The young man retreated in despair until he backed to the wall and was trapped in a corner.

Man, no, Park Jiayan was a little embarrassed: "Do you have to read this?" The words written by the little rabbit were embarrassing.

Yao Chen nodded sharply, this is a standard configuration.

Well... The little wolf dog raised his eyebrows, and pulled out a nasty and cruel smile: "Even if you yell and break your throat, no one will come to save you."

"Hahaha!"

Yao Chen happily rolled in the little wolf dog's arms.

Park Jiayan sighed, and looked at him indulgently, his eyes were so gentle that he could drown.

Only the tone barely maintained the coldness, and finished the last line with dedication: "Disobedient pets will be punished."

Yao Chen enjoyed a bit of role-playing, received a big punishment, and went to read sage books full of energy.

Book of Sages: ...I don't want to be read by you, I feel so dirty.

Yao Chen took leave to go to the test.

When Zheng Hao heard the news, he felt that it was unexpected but also reasonable.

The accident was because the preparation time was too short. After thinking about it, he felt that he could understand. Yao Chen's study progress has been very fast, his talent is outstanding, and his journey went smoothly. Prime Minister's disciple.It was as if nothing was strange about what happened to him.

In contrast, my own family is still the same, seeking peace and stability, and asking him to study for a few more years. Although Yao Chen came from behind, the rapid progress made people feel a little uneasy, he was eager to try it, and finally got it The family's wishes, grind your temper.

But fortunately, the family is not in a hurry.

A figure appeared in Zheng Hao's mind, the corners of his mouth could not help but curled up, and his eyes revealed a trace of affection.

Don't worry, wait for Yao Chen to understand and try again...

Yao Chen didn't know that his exam was being missed by many people, and he had just entered the Gongyuan at this time.

While waiting in line for the body search, Yao Chen was thinking wildly.

The name Gongyuan has a meaning, which means to contribute talents to the saints, and Jieshi is also called Qiugong because it is in autumn.

I am like pork waiting for quality inspection. After passing all-round tests and tests, the examiner stamps the seal of "passed" and presents it to the emperor.

The line in front gradually shortened, and finally it was Yao Chen's turn.

The unpacking test was obviously much stricter than the boy's test. He took off his shoes and socks, unbuttoned his coat, and was inspected by the soldiers. The baskets and packages were opened and searched one by one to prevent entrainment.The imperial court's scientific examination is very strict to prevent favoritism and malpractice. Once it is found that the examination is the lightest ban, the fame and fame will be deprived, and those with serious circumstances will be exiled and beheaded.

After the body search, Yao Chen felt that he was no longer pure, so I'm sorry for the little wolf dog.

Bing pawn: ... I have a daughter-in-law!Breasts are bigger than you!

"Get a card yourself, go in!" The soldier who knew nothing about the scholar's mind pointed to a large basket in the distance.

Yao Chen took a wooden sign with a number from the big basket.

The exam adopts the system of pasting names, and the roll number should be written on the surface of the pasting paper, so that the examiners can gather the candidates' papers together.

Yao Chen glanced at the number: six nine, a good sign.

After entering the examination room, Yao Chen tightened his mind, forgetting about things and me, and gathered all his energy to deal with it.

The solution test lasted for three days, and there were three exams in total.

He already had some experience in the examination, and he was taught by teachers and classmates who were very experienced in imperial examinations in the school, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

For example, there are candidates who have diarrhea for three days due to nervousness or bad eating, those who have run out of candles and have no refills and can only write in the dark, those who do not bring enough things to suffer from cold and starvation, and those who use drafts as toilet paper and use them as toilet paper. You have to hand in as many sheets of paper as you want, even one less)...

These minefields are perfectly avoided.

Yao Chen's control and planning of time are few and far between. He rests when it's time to rest, and hurry up when it's time to rest. He has a good grasp of the rhythm of the exam. In addition, he is young, and the candidates in the exam room belong to his spirit most.

He looked at the first topic carefully: "Zi said, a gentleman is in the world, there is nothing suitable, there is nothing, and righteousness is comparable."

Make a good draft, write a composition on straw paper, and first write an explanation to explain the meaning of this sentence: "A gentleman has no relatives and friends in the world, but righteousness lies in it, which is compared with a blind date." Then use your own understanding, talk about a gentleman, Talking about the villain, the logic is rigorous and the thinking is smooth.Answer all the questions smoothly, check at the end, and copy them onto the official answer sheet.

The whole street of Gongyuan was under martial law, Pu Jiayan was waiting in the guest house two streets away, the servant persuaded him to eat, but he waved him away.

"I don't have much appetite, let's put it away for now."

"No." The servant could only obey.

Two hours later, he persuaded him a few more times: "Master, let's use some snacks, he won't be able to take care of Mr. Yao Xiaolang if he is starving."

Park Jiayan just ate a little.

He looked in the direction of the Gong Yuan, guessing which exam Yao Chen was taking at this time, and he didn't know how he was resting at night.

On the right side of the Gongyuan, you can faintly see a three-story high-rise building called Quanxue Building, which is the core of the entire Gongyuan.Pu Jiayan was lucky enough to visit it. The courtyard where the Quanxue Building is located is the Judging Court, where the judging will be done.

At that time, Pu Jiayan thought that the buildings of the Gongyuan were old and the alleys were cramped and narrow, which was not very interesting. Who would have thought that there would be a day when he would look at it and not think about it?

Park Jiayan smiled self-deprecatingly.

The admission quota is limited by the imperial court. Park Jiayan has inquired that the quota for this year is about 5000 people. Jinyang is no different than the South, and there are not many places.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Yao Chen's knowledge, it's just that he cares about it, and his expression is out of place.

When Yao Chen was released, he was a little depressed. Seeing that Pu Jiayan's face was worse than his own, he accepted the complaints that were already on his lips, and his tone changed to comfort.

"I think I can hit it."

A middle-aged examinee just heard it, and couldn't help but look sideways, thinking that the young man is really arrogant, but he no longer has the energy to preach, and was taken away by his family dying.

Yao Chen and Park Jiayan slept all day.

Pure sleep.

Eat when you wake up, and sleep when you are full.

Let the overworked brain rest for about ten hours, shut down and restart, and then rethink.

Before preparing for the exam, he couldn't get distracted. Looking back now, he finally found out that something was wrong with Park Jiayan in the past six months. After a little probing, Park Jiayan only said that his father was a monster and troubled him, and he was already dealing with it, but he didn't talk about the details.

What trouble has remained unresolved for so long?

Yao Chen guessed that the trouble might be serious, but the little wolf dog avoided talking about it, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

Judgment Court.

The examiners write "pass" or "no" on the paper with a red pen to judge whether the candidate will stay or not, and at the same time sign their names at the bottom. The paper must be jointly tested by the supervisor and the examiner. The more, the better.

The judge of the first trial handed the paper in his hand to Xueshi Hu, the main writer: "This paper is better than the simple text, it hits the point, the style is sharp, and it can be excellent."

Xueshi Hu read it carefully and nodded: "Yes." Write a comment below.

There are no fewer rules than examination papers. It is necessary to mark the merits of those who pass, and the faults of those who are dismissed, so as to show fairness.

As night fell and the courtyard was brightly lit, the fate of countless students under Zhu's command was settled.

Ten days later, the test released the list, and Yao Chen was on the list.

It is not unprecedented for a son to be born in the year of the dancing elephant, but it is also a rare and handsome young man.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, full of infinite possibilities, handsome and gentle.

And not yet married.

For a while, the threshold of the Yao family was broken by the matchmaker. Many merchants and landlords wanted to make a move as soon as possible. Now their family background is still worthy of being a master of Juren. If he has to go further and get a title on the gold list, then he will not be able to reach the top. .

The elders of the Yao family and their parents asked Yao Chen what he thought, and they all felt that they were not in a hurry, so they rejected them one by one, but this did not stop everyone's enthusiasm.

Yao Chen's popularity in the marriage market soared, even Yao Man and Yao Xing were asked to marry.

Yao Xing: I'm just a child!

Yao Dalang discussed with Mrs. Li, and felt that his daughter was pretty and talented. Now that Yao Chen had a promising future, he would definitely not worry about marrying. However, he had indeed reached the age to talk about marriage. Now that a matchmaker came to the door, he didn't say anything. Say goodbye Look at each other.

When the matchmaker sees a show, she is very concerned.If you can't be the matchmaker of Master Juren himself, it's not bad to be the elder sister of Juren, and the Yao family is considered well-off, so thanking the matchmaker is not enough.

Hearing that the Yao family frequently had matchmakers come to their door, some people couldn't sit still.

Yao Chen thought it would be a little wolf dog who came to the door, but it was Zheng Hao.

Zheng Hao congratulated him first, exchanged some pleasantries, and then explained the purpose of coming very simply.

"Ask to marry my sister?" Yao Chen was stunned.

Suddenly, he looked up and down and narrowed his eyes.

When did this kid do it?Your own good cabbage was slapped by others?

In his heart, Yao Man is just like his daughter—well, before the little wolf dog appeared, he helped him wash, cook and take care of his daughter—in short, he grew up by himself, and he couldn't just teach the wild boy to cheat.

Zheng Hao was a little embarrassed, but he was a gentleman and told the truth in every detail.

There was a bet between the two before, and Zheng Hao lost the bet and came to Yao's house to do a few days of white labor. He got to know Yao Man and had a very good impression of her.Later, the Yao family started to do pastry business, and the female members of the Zheng family liked it very much, so Zheng Hao often came to patronize them, and the two became acquainted with each other after coming and going, and they had a good impression of each other.

One is a handsome gentleman, and the other is a gentle, virtuous and beautiful girl, which is also a good match.

Yao Chen cautiously asked: "You came to find me, does my sister know?"

Zheng Hao shook his head, his voice was a little embarrassed: "We have not confessed our feelings yet. I am in love with Ling Jie, and I am asking for marriage out of sincerity. Due to the woman's reputation, I dare not express it with my mouth. .”

More than friendship, not enough lovers.

Yao Chen knew it in his heart, he hadn't written his horoscope yet, that's good, his Chinese cabbage is still his Chinese cabbage.

But he took a high look at Primary School Bully, Zheng Hao was quite knowledgeable and knew how to come to him first.

It doesn't work with anyone but him.

Zheng Hao was born in a scholarly family. Although he did not fall in the middle of the journey and only gradually rose in the last two generations, the Yao family is absolutely unworthy in terms of family background. After all, those noble families look down on even the royal family. Unless Zheng Hao can change the family's destiny and become an official smoothly, Moreover, they had to go to high school, otherwise the two would miss the best age for marriage, and they might be suspended.

Yao Chen asked about the situation at Zheng Hao's home again, but didn't say yes or no: "You go back first, I'll think about it carefully."

Zheng Hao didn't feel very disappointed either, Yao Chen didn't scold him for being a disciple and beat him out, it was already good, and before leaving, he went to the front shop to buy chicken cakes.Recently, new flavors have been released. In addition to the original flavor, there are also those with red dates, walnuts or preserved fruits.

He picked the right time, the new oven was still baking, so he waited while talking softly to Yao Man.

Yao Man's mood is not very good recently, her mother visited a few families with her in private, all of them are from good families, and the husband is also good, but she is not very willing.

It was the age of the young girl Huaichun, and the person in the dream of Chungui was a gentle, considerate and knowledgeable little man.

She has admired people who can read and write since she was a child. When she was in the village, Yao Chen and Yao Xing would teach her how to read when she was free. She herself is also working hard to learn. Although she learned very slowly and piecemeal, she has already learned hundreds of characters. .Later, when she entered the city, she helped in the shop. At first she was shy and dared not speak. She just listened to the customers silently. Most of what they said she didn’t understand.The longer the time, the more courageous she became, and the wider her horizons became. She no longer only knows about farming and housework. Now even if the adults in the family are away, she can independently support the shop and entertain guests.

The young gentleman of the Zheng family treats people very well, he doesn't dislike her for being stupid, he guides her carefully, and even encourages her when she knows she is learning to read, and he will not mock her like others, saying that a woman who has no talent is a virtue.

If you don't mind, it's fake.

She had thought she would be content to see him now and then and talk like that.

And ever since her mother visited him for her, she could no longer escape.

I am a bit wishful thinking.

Yao Man was sad.

Paying attention, Yao Chen discovered the change in his sister.

He saw that Yao Man was not interested in Zheng Hao, so he persuaded his elders to make an engagement for his sister after he came back from Beijing. The reason was ready-made: Jinshi's sister married better, so he waited another year at most, and it wouldn't delay her. It's been a long time, and Yao Man's help is needed in the shop.

Yao Man didn't know that his younger brother had discovered his secret, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile returned to his face, revealing the radiance of a girl.

Uncle Yao Chen smiled, hiding his achievements and fame.
