"What?!" Shen Junqian and Shen Junluo were both shocked, Shen Junluo hurriedly grabbed Shen Junxi's sleeve and asked, "Second brother, is what you said true?"

Shen Junxi nodded, "What kind of exam book you said is definitely not there, but this one, uncle, father and third uncle all require every disciple of our Shen clan to remember word for word." I remember when I was a child when I was trained by this book, I heard the third uncle jokingly say that if you want to memorize the title of the gold list when you grow up, you should memorize it and do it in your heart, it is the treasure book of our Shen family's 'one door and three jinshi, father and son two champions'. ”

"You two must have been teased by the third uncle, maybe the third uncle is laughing at you at this time? He told you that the Shen family has a test book, is this book, it can be regarded as there, but he didn't mean that the Shen family's book is called. Shen Junchun laughed evilly on the side.

Shen Ji'an, the third master of the Shen family, has no elders in front of the younger generations on weekdays, and has always been the most gentle person, unlike the eldest lord who is upright and strict, and even more like the second lord who always smiles with a cunning face. It's just that the third master has a habit and likes to tease the younger generation, and no one in the younger generation of the Shen family seems to be able to escape.

Shen Junluo pursed her lips, she was teased by her father since she was a child, and she had long practiced her own ability to be iron-walled, but this time she was accidentally teased by her own father again, and said dissatisfiedly: "My father is boring, isn't it boring, didn't he say that he wanted to concentrate on reading books to take the top exam, and he actually had time to play these careful thoughts." ”

At the beginning, it was originally because Shen Junqian wanted to help his friend Guo Baobao, and from Guo Baobao, it was heard that the Shen family had such a book, but it was they who fell into a misunderstanding of their thoughts by their preconceived ideas, thinking that the title of the "Shen's Exam Classic" that was so popular by the outside world was this, but I didn't expect that the Shen family did have such a book, but the title of the book could not match the eight poles of the exam.

Shen Junqian was still a little unwilling, it was better not to have such a book, so he asked unwillingly: "Is it really that one?" Could it be that the brothers made a mistake, I and the fifth sister have also seen that book, and there is no half of it related to the imperial examination. Moreover, the third uncle just threw it on the desk so casually, and he didn't pay much attention to it?"

Xiao Shi listened quietly on the side for a long time, and also heard a rough idea, seeing that Shen Junluo and Shen Junqian were all kinds of unwilling, Xiao Shi recruited the two to his side, touched the heads of the two, and said with a smile: "You two little girls, what does this exam have to do with your two little girls, could it be that you still want to take the top prize, that can't be done, now you don't want to dress up as a man to enter the field, you two girls should have this kind of thought, you can dispel it as soon as possible." ”

"Mother, what are you talking about, my fifth sister and I are just curious, I have been hearing from others recently that our Shen family is because of such an exam-taking book, so my father can do so well in the exam, and even my friends came to ask. Shen Junqian is not stupid, she has long seen Dayin's imperial examination system from books. Although Dayin's restraint on women is not as strict as in her previous life, there will never be a figure like Meng Lijun in the imperial examination, because if a woman appears in a scientific examination, not only the woman herself will be punished, but the woman's family, the examiner of the scientific examination, and even the local officials will be implicated.

Shen Junluo also nodded in agreement, "Yes, second aunt, you don't know that the last time I went to my grandmother's, my aunt and uncle were very curious." ”

Shen Junxi smiled and said lightly: "That's all spread by outsiders, if our Shen family can be proud in the field with just one book, it won't have the fame it has now, and Cangwu Academy won't attract so many great Confucian scholars." ”

"However, the book you mentioned, my fifth sister and I have seen it, and I haven't seen the third uncle pay much attention to it and put it on the desk, and the content in it is not like the orthodox imperial examination books, but it asks the side to see more miscellaneous books, and travel around the world. Shen Junqian couldn't figure out that such a book that was not right when a serious family learned and trained would actually be a "test-taking book" that was rumored to be like a god outside.

"Because it's not important in the first place!" Shen Junchun said with a look of course: "That is, you two stupid girls are busy with their work, and they are still asking about us who are brothers and mysteries, covering up half of them and asking about them, if you said that you were looking for this, you still need to work hard, everyone in our study has a copy, what do you want to think." ”

Shen Junqian turned his head and asked Shen Junrui, who had a plate, that the little brother would never lie to himself, "Little brother, really, each of you has a copy?"

Shen Junrui nodded and replied: "Yes, we all have it, and we must memorize it before we can start the official enrollment as soon as we enter the school." ”

His reputation in the little sister is actually not as good as that of his younger brother, Shen Junchun expressed his unhappiness, and said faintly: "How much my sister doesn't trust me, how many times have I deceived you." ”

Shen Junluo gloated and said: "Third brother, don't quibble, a few brothers belong to you the most spirited, and I also believe in the fourth brother more." ”

Shen Junxi saw that Shen Junchun was depressed and shrunk in a depressed position by his little sister and cousin and did not speak, so he explained with a smile: "Junchun didn't tease you this time, this book is really nothing, each of us takes it as a lesson when we go to school, and we need to memorize it all before we can officially enroll."

In fact, to be serious, this book is indeed beneficial for us to participate in the imperial examination, and to recommend miscellaneous books such as history, military medicine, etc., is to let us know more about various kinds of knowledge, and find the most suitable way for ourselves to learn. As for going out to study, not to mention that 'it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books', our Shen family has always disagreed with this kind of thing behind closed doors, so we have always encouraged our disciples to travel more and gain knowledge.

As for grandpa, uncle and dad, there is nothing special about the proudness of their few examination rooms, it is nothing more than working harder than others. ”

Shen Junqian listened to Shen Junxi's explanation unsatisfied, and finally asked unwillingly: "Is it better than others?"

"Just this sentence is more than how much hard work others have to pay, you are not satisfied, otherwise what do you want. I can see the efforts of your uncle and father, not to mention that ordinary people can do what they do, only one-third, even if they will be on the list, they will be fine. ”

Seeing that several of the younger ones were looking at him, even the eldest son Shen Junxi was full of curiosity, and then said: "Our family has a Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, and there is a champion hole on the Zhuangzi, which outsiders don't know, but in our Shen family, it is famous. Back then, the old lady wanted to urge the two masters to study. In a stalactite cave on the mountain, it has been rebuilt and has become the place where your father and uncle read and practiced calligraphy. Back then, your father and uncle can be said to have stayed in that cave all year round and studied hard, so that they have today's achievements. Although the Zhuangzi is idle now, the cave is not deserted, and it has always retained the traces of the original two masters studying. ”

"Mother, have I been to Zhuangzi? When will we go again, I heard my mother say this, I also want to go to the 'Zhuangyuan Cave' to see." Shen Junqian thought hard for a long time and didn't remember to go to such a special Zhuangzi, so he asked Xiao for help.

Shen Junluo bit her fingers on the side, and her face was obviously full of "I also want to go, you come and ask me".

Xiao Shi touched Shen Junluo's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Since you want to go, let's go together when you find a time, that cave has always been taken care of, don't go to see it, you just go and stay overnight." ”

Xiao Shi said to Shen Junqian half-complaining and half-spoiling: "I really don't know what kind of sex you are still having, the matter of your friend in the academy has already been handled by your father, and you don't need to do anything, so it's a big deal to toss with your fifth sister here." ”

Of course, Shen Junqian knew that the matter of Guo Baobao's family was solved, and after she finished talking to her father, the old man of Guo Baobao's family followed the door not long after. After reaching a certain age, many people act naturally, and are not affected by the outside world, and Old Man Guo is almost in this ranks, so Old Man Guo and Shen Jitang don't know what to talk about in the study, and it is always when the old man goes out of the Shen family that he seems to be full of red face.

When he went to the academy again, Guo Baobao took his newly made hibiscus cake and stuffed it to Shen Junqian, thanked her, and said that the matter at home was solved. Shen Junqian was very embarrassed, in fact, she really couldn't figure out what her father and the old man of the Guo family talked about.

"Baby, in fact, I didn't help much, I found out clearly, our family doesn't have any treasures or the like, in addition to books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, there is a family study motto, and it is written inexplicably. Shen Junqian rarely came a little earlier, and hurriedly ran to Guo Baobao to explain to her before class.

Guo Baobao looked indifferent, and said with a grin: "Sister Qian, you think too much, our old man now mysteriously doesn't know what my brothers say, I think your father must be suing my grandfather for something." But it doesn't matter what he does, it doesn't matter to us. ”

This tossing was originally because Shen Junqian agreed to Guo Baobao, but now he turned around and found that except for himself and his fifth sister, everyone else seemed to be doing their own thing, as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, what does it have to do with us, we can't go to the imperial examination. Shen Junqian shrugged his shoulders and talked to Guo Baobao about himself and Shen Junluo this time, under the stimulation of the third master of the Shen family, they jumped up and down in the backyard irrationally, and glanced around like headless flies.

"Alas, you don't know how stupid we were at the time, knowing that it was wrong and doing things vigorously, as a result, it was a joke for others for a long time, which was really not interesting. ”。
