Chapter Eighty-Seven: Li Zhu Goes to the Exam

After the Lantern Festival, Li Yu's family began to be busy with things in the fields and sand, of course, this also includes the sands of Li Zhu's family. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Zhu offered to help, but Li Yu blocked it back, and asked Li Zhu to read at home and leave these alone. Li Zhu's family was grateful, Deng took over the task of cooking, and Li Zhu took over the task of delivering food. Li Yu was not hypocritical this time, took a bag of grain, and put it in the kitchen of Li Zhu's house, because he was busy with farming in the spring, he changed it to three meals a day, which were all eaten at Li Zhu's house. Old Man Li also went to the ground to help, and Mama Li and Old Man Li naturally ate at Li Zhu's house. Deng looked at the large number of people, and also made Uncle Li Hongshen and Aunt Sun's, Aunt Sun was afraid that cooking so many people's food would tire Deng's, so she agreed to come over to eat, and at the same time came to help cook. Aunt Sun came over, and Deng also wrapped the chicken food. In this way, Li Zhu's family kept burning all day and night, and they were also busy.

Lehi took care of Hamahama, and now Lehi has taught Hamahama to read and write in addition to reading books himself. Of course Hamahama recognized these words, but she didn't dare to say anything other than "Yiah", Hamahama had never brought a child, but there was always a score in her heart, how could a child who was less than half a year old speak.

But Hamahama began to crawl. This was found last time in the cave, and the people in the family also found it.

It's cold underground, and Hamahama just simply climbs on the kang, which is considered to be exercise.

When Li Bo fed the rabbit, he found that the belly of a gray rabbit was bigger, and Li Bo told Li Zhu, who happily said that the rabbit was going to give birth to a baby at this time, and this good news would be a beautiful day for the family. Li Zhu decided to come out of the backyard of the uncle's house, the place where the chickens were raised, and the place where the rabbits were raised.

Li Zhu asked his uncle Li Hongshen to go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo. Because the rabbit was caught by Li Zhu himself this time, Li Hongshen is not good at scolding Li Zhu, but there are complaints.

Because of the experience of the previous laps, this time it was quickly completed.

When the snow turns into spring, there is a "dripping click" sound of snow everywhere, and the greenery hits, and the happiest is Li Zhu, because there are too many grass-eating animals at home, and the grass is almost insufficient.

The chickens raised in the uncle's house can be released and let them eat freely, so that the chicken food can be less, saving a lot of effort, and the cattle and sheep only need to be led out to walk around, almost on the line. The lamb's hair grows, and its appearance is different from that of the sheep it usually sees, it has no horns, its limbs are high, its body is long and wide, its hindquarters are more developed, its head is slightly narrow, and its body is curled with hair.

Li Zhu's family was surprised when they saw it, they had never seen such a sheep. Except, of course, Hamahama. Hamahama's eyes lit up when he looked at the sheep, which means sweaters, blankets, hats, and gloves...... Here, before these things exist, that's a lot of money. Hamahama drooled when he thought about it. Hamahama watched the sheep drool more often, and the family thought she was going to grow teeth. Unfortunately not.

Deng Shi looked at the sheep and shook his head, saying that this sheep should not be very good at producing milk, and now it is not even the only use, no wonder it was discarded at that time. Fortunately, the lamb is very gentle and quiet, Li Zhu looked pitiful and decided to keep it, Deng wanted to raise it for so long anyway, and he didn't call that little grass, so he had no opinion. In this way, the sheep was able to continue to stay in Li Zhu.

The gray rabbit successfully gave birth to five rabbits, which made Brother Li Hai happy for a while. It's a joy to behold. Li Zhu moved the other three rabbits to the prepared rabbit pen, leaving the mother rabbit and the baby rabbit in the firewood room, where Li Tao and Li Bo fed and cleaned them.

The puppy has adapted to Li Zhu's family, running and jumping in the yard from time to time, and now he can recognize people, and Li Zhu's family and Li Yu's family are very close, Li Qiunu likes this puppy very much, no matter how busy he is, he will play with it for a while.

Mama Li never came out to walk around except for eating, and Li Tao and Li Bo did not point to the person to introduce the puppy, so the puppy just didn't bark at Mama Li, and didn't kiss it.

In addition to reading books every day, Li Zhu also takes care of the vegetable field, now the snow has melted, the vegetables in the vegetable field grow well, in addition to eating at home, Li Zhu entrusts Uncle Zhang or Old Man Yu to Li Quan, Li Mu, Deng Ju's family, and Master Mu's family to bring some to the past.

Li Zhu has always been worried about planting bamboo, Li Zhu read in the morning, and after lunch, he would take the ox cart to the bamboo forest behind the village to dig bamboo and dig bamboo shoots. In addition to adding vegetables, there is also the planting of bamboo. In front of his cave, Li Zhu planted a piece of bamboo by the stream, which was not enough, between his house and the room of his second brother's house, near his yard, three steps away from the direction of the courtyard, and planted more than a dozen peach trees.

When Li Yu came back and saw Li Zhu planting bamboo in front of his house, he was happy and said with a smile: "How did your bamboo come out after it survived?" Planting bamboo in front of your own house, you are reading the books of sages in vain, reading stupidly, right? Li Zhu responded with a smile: "Brother, this hasn't arrived at my door yet, look, there are still three steps." This bamboo won't stand in the way of the peach tree, and there are still three steps. It won't affect our daily entry and exit. Li Yu saw Li Zhu's affirmation, and knew that he had made up his mind, so he bargained and only let Li Zhu plant five, Li Zhu had no choice but to agree, and the other five were planted in the chicken pen behind the uncle's house.

Li Hongshen saw the bamboo in Li Zhu's yard, and was so angry that he dug it up and planted it in the chicken pen, and said: "If you plant this, the bamboo will survive in the future, how will your family come out?" Li Zhu touched his nose and didn't say anything. Li Yu thought, the stubborn still has to be tempered.

The days passed little by little in the chaos of the family.

In February, the township and county examinations began, and fifteen consecutive examinations were held in the town. Li Mu registered for Li Zhu. Li Zhu's family went to live at Li Mu's house again this time. However, he was stopped by Li Quan, saying that he lived in Li Mu's house last time and would change people this time. Li Zhu had no choice but to settle down at Li Quan's house. And this time Li Hongshen and Aunt Sun didn't go, and the livestock at home were taken care of by Li Hongshen and Aunt Sun. Li Hongshen didn't take this matter to heart at all, so he let these young people have a good time.

Of course, Deng wanted Li Zhu to get the exam, but he also knew that it was impossible, after all, Li Zhu had only studied at the age of five or six, during which he had followed Master Mu and learned two words by himself, and now he had only read the book for half a year, and he had no hope that Li Zhu would be able to pass the exam this time. So Deng has a very positive attitude.

After listening to Deng's analysis, Deng Juren's family thought that his uncle was going to try it this time, and they were familiar with the examination room and test questions. There is no need to be successful, if Li Zhu is assigned to work as a laborer this year, and there is no farming at home, the Deng family can go back to his parents' house to live, which is also a good thing. Deng Juren's family cleaned up the house for the Deng family in advance.

Li Quan and Li Mu are not serious, they think that Li Zhu must be a talent, but it is definitely not now, after all, he has only read books for half a year, and he is still busy with this and that during this period. Li Quan half-jokingly prepared a bunch of food for Li Zhu, chicken, pork, and fish, and told him to eat and sleep well and live the life of a big man. Li Zhu smiled and came down one by one, and also brought it to the examination room.

Hamahama has never gone through this, and vaguely feels that the exams here are different from the ancient times in her previous life, and Hamahama has listened to the words of adults these days, and only then did she know that there is a reason why the talent here is noble. If you want to become a showman, you really need to pass five levels and kill six generals. These five levels are the township test, the county test, the government test, the birth test, the ink test, and the six generals are the six generals of physiology, this test is individual work, there is no good body, how can you stick to the fifteen tests, this is two months. Hamahama had never heard of several exams in the same place for several days in a row, and if you don't have a good mentality, you can really drive people crazy. Hamahama guessed correctly, every year the test will produce a bunch of crazy people.

Li Zhu brought two months' worth of dry food, a small bag of rice, a bundle of vegetables, a half-cooked chicken, two catties of pork, two sets of changing clothes, a small pot, a bundle of firewood, an umbrella, and a small quilt, and the four treasures of the study. Li Zhu's mentality is very correct, if he gets the test, he will pick up a big bargain, and if he can't get the test, he should be, after all, he has only read the book for half a year, and he is only a half-hanger, and he is more than a star and a half away from the students who were enlightened at the age of six and learned to be more than ten years old. So Li Zhu's test is like going on an outing.

When Li Zhu was taken in, he ushered in a bunch of suspicious eyes, who would bring so many things to the examination room, and if they have this time to cook and eat, it is better to answer the questions, and few of these scholars can cook.

Li Zhu was assigned to the open-air test center, and as soon as Li Zhu sat down, he held up an umbrella and tied it to the corner of the table, just covering the entire table. This is protected from the rain.

The township test and county test are the familiarity with the Four Books and Five Classics, and most of them are written silently. There is also a little bit of analysis, and these analyses are also officially recorded in the Four Books and Five Classics, which is equivalent to silent writing. Of course, if the candidate does not remember, the answer can probably be given at the discretion of the score. Candidates who have completed the township test can hand in the test papers immediately, and then the invigilator will hand the test papers to the examiner outside the door through the crack in the door. The scores are then announced immediately after the ten examiners have seen the signatures and confirmations.

After everyone has finished the test, an average score is announced, and those with higher than average scores stay to participate in the next round of the county exam, and those who do not have can go home.

As soon as the time comes, after the file is sealed and filed, 15 examiners will revise the papers on the spot, and then the list of people who can participate in the government examination will be immediately announced on the spot, and the examination will continue on the second day. Those who want to take the government examination are not allowed to go out, and they eat and drink in the examination room.

Li Zhu's transcendent memory is like a fish in water in the township and county exams, Li Zhu looked at it, and the seven-day test paper can be answered in about three days. In order not to be bored, Li Zhu cooks at a fixed point, eats and drinks at a fixed point. The examiner saw the most leisurely candidate ever. Everyone else is desperately answering the questions, while he is eating, drinking, and sleeping.

This is also the reason why the status of scholars is so high, these five levels and six generals are cut down one by one, and they are all real and do not seep water.

As expected, Li Zhu passed the county exam with a perfect score, and the government exam began again on the second day.

The government test is understanding, and this is also analyzed in the official record, which is also a simple matter for Li Zhu, that is, silent writing. In fact, being able to write out the Four Books and Five Classics word for word is also considered to be capable.

The invigilators in the exam room all noticed the candidate who had just scored a perfect score. In fact, there are many people who have full scores in the township and county exams, after all, these tests are memorization. But the attitude of this candidate, a calm and breezy attitude, is very intriguing. In fact, they didn't know, Li Zhu just didn't care, and if he didn't care, it would be clear.

After the government test, the paper was also revised on the spot, and this time a group of examiners were changed, which was different from the one just now. This time it was twenty examiners. As soon as the government examination is passed, it is a child, and with the qualification of a child, you can participate in the spring festival in March next month.

In other words, those who are eligible to participate in the spring festival will take the exam for two months. You can't go out of the exam room during the period, and if you run out of food, you can only pay for dry food. This is also the reason why the examination of Xiucai requires a large amount of money, and this ration alone is a big expense.

No accident, Li Zhu passed the government examination and became a child. Li Zhu hurriedly counted the rations he brought, the rice and meat were all eaten, and the dry food was still there, and he could live a month if he saved it. Li Zhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
