At the beginning of Emperor Yong'an's accession to the throne, Emperor Jingshun's wife, Empress Wei's family, the Wei family and even the Cheng King Yang Jingfu left by Empress Wei were all in that purge, and the century-old clan was uprooted, along with dozens of officials who were close to him, they were also dismissed and cleansed, and the prosperous capital was wiped out for a while. Later, when talking about this purge, there is a sentence: the cars and horses in the capital are sparsely crowded.

The Wei family has been in business for a hundred years, and the forces of the DPRK and China are intertwined and numerous, and this purge has sparsely sparse even the cars, horses, and pedestrians who come and go on the streets of the capital. Generally, when a new emperor ascends the throne or has a great joy, he will often take some kind of benevolence, such as pardon for sinners; is also an example of Enke, who is a scholar in the world, and seeks talents and selects talents for the imperial court.

The year that Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne happened to be the year before the normal scientific examination, and there was no way to open Enke, so in the autumn of the first year of Yong'an, at the same time as the normal scientific examination, Enke was opened at the same time. Different from the previous test of Enke only in Beijing, this time Yong'an Chaoenke started from the most basic county examination, and reformed the subjects of the reading and scientific examination, no longer only testing scriptures and poems, but also adding a question to the people and a preparation test on the basis of the traditional scientific examination project. Asking the people is a civil inquiry, because most of the people who participate in the county examination are young children, so this questioning examination is relatively simple, it may be related to the price of rice and grain related to the people's livelihood, it may also be produced locally, or it may be the customs and folk customs of mutual neighborliness...... These questions are generally involved in daily life, and as long as you don't die reading, you can answer them with a little attention. The establishment of this examination program can, to a certain extent, improve the bad habit of students who die to study, close their eyes and listen to the world; If you can be an official, you can also think about what the people think, and you can better understand the people's feelings, and when handling government affairs, you will naturally be better thinking about the people and doing things for the people.

It is also relatively simple to prepare a subject, which may be the calculation of the price of money for buying and selling things; It may also be that the number and variety of real estate are the most basic two-digit addition and subtraction calculations. The establishment of the preparation test, that is, the arithmetic department, is also to prevent the reader from being full of mouths, but he does not know anything about general affairs. I wonder how a person who doesn't even know basic arithmetic can be a parent and shepherd?

After Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne, the matter of Enke was conveyed to all prefectures and counties across the country, and those scholars who studied the scriptures and history complained while hurriedly learning arithmetic and understanding the people's livelihood.

In contrast to the reform of the scientific research program, the county schools and government schools in various parts of the prefecture and county have also reformed their systems, increasing funds, expanding school buildings, and supplementing teachers, with the purpose of expanding enrollment and opening a scholarship system. Anyone who passes the county examination can enter the county school to study. Students with excellent test results are exempted from tuition and book fees, and the school provides free study and room and board for free. Those with outstanding grades can also get scholarships, ranging from 20 taels, 10 taels, and 5 taels per year. The funds are allocated by the imperial court and earmarked for special purposes.

The Liu Jiaao Lin family, who had just experienced the grand event of Junwen Junshu and Lin Xu in the same subject, sent three children, Ah Fu and Jun Yan Junzhang, to participate in the county examination at the same time. Just because the Yang family's household registration is in Qinghe County, and Afu's household registration is in Anping County, the three children can only be divided into two places, and they will participate in the Enke County test in Anping County and Qinghe County respectively.

Qiu Chen, who hadn't taken care of Ah Fu's daily life for a long time, got up early this morning, rushed to Ah Fu's house, and personally instructed the girl to prepare hot water for Ah Fu to bathe.

In the clean room, the heat was steaming, Qiu Chen sat on the wooden bench behind the bathtub, grabbed a handful of black thick hair, and rubbed it carefully and lightly. The young man, wearing only a pair of obscene pants, sat in the barrel, blushing slightly from shyness. Feeling the movements of the mother behind him, in the thick steam, the tears in the young man's eyes flashed and fell.

I don't know whether the tears blindfolded the eyes, or the steam blurred the vision, in the fog, the boy seemed to return to the poor years of his childhood, in the first memory, the mother always worked hard all day and night, but the life at home was still poor and poor, but after all, he could still eat and clothe warm. When the news of the death of his father, whose memory was completely blurred, came, his mother fell ill all of a sudden. Without his mother's industrious management, the family suddenly stepped down. Although that period was only ten or twenty days, that deep fear accompanied by hunger has always been engraved in the deepest part of my memory. After that serious illness, my mother seemed to have changed people, from few words and only knew how to work, became open-minded and open-minded, and the life of the family was getting better day by day, and soon there was no worry about food and clothing, and then, I became rich and noble...... Since that serious illness, his mother seems to have been smiling, and he and his sister have grown up in their mother's smile. But as he grew older, Ah Fu knew that his mother had not stopped working hard over the years. Whether it is in Liujiaao, Anyang City, or after entering Beijing, my mother is always smiling, and she is always in a hurry......

"Okay, get up and dry it, come out with your middle coat on, and I'll twist your hair!" Qiu Chen wrung out the cleaned towel, put it on his son's shoulder, patted Ah Fu's shoulder, smiled and commanded easily, got up, put Ah Fu's clothes into a basin, and walked out of the clean room with his hands in his hand.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ah Fu, dressed in a white shirt, walked out of the clean room, his long black and thick hair draped behind his head.

Qiu Chen looked at the eldest son who had already been somewhat promoted, and the little boy's slightly thin body was like a green bamboo, and he was thinner. The appearance follows more than half of the begonias, and it looks very delicate, which makes this small bamboo quite pleasing to the eye and handsome.

The fourteen-year-old boy has begun to rise in size rapidly, as if he was a child the day before, and in a blink of an eye, he has grown taller and grown. When he first arrived here, Ah Fu was still a four-year-old child, yellow and thin, almost skinny, with only a pair of big eyes, which were always the same, clear, gentle, and moist.

"Mother......" Ah Fu's cheeks were flushed, and he called softly with a smile.

The girl in the house retreated knowingly, and only Qiu Chen sat alone on the edge of the kang. Hearing Ah Fu's call, Qiu Chen woke up, hurriedly got up, wrapped Ah Fu's hair with the cloth towel in his hand, and then beckoned Ah Fu to sit down, she stood behind her son, while carefully twisting her hair.

After squeezing off most of the water and changing two handkerchiefs, Qiu Chen took a yellow horn comb, combed his hair little by little, and said softly: "How long has it been since I combed your hair?" ”

opened such a question, which successfully evoked the memories of the mother and son.

"It seems like a long time...... Ah Fuluo hesitated slightly, but his eyes were still gentle and bright, and his smile deepened, and he said slowly, "My mother used to go out and come back, and she always combed my sister and me by herself. Later, we added manpower to our family......"

Qiu Chen was also smiling, and the comb under his hand did not stop, only looking at the young man's relieved eyes, there was also a little reluctance and regret.

It seems that before they can hold it in their hands and love it enough, the child will grow up, and then they will leave the mother's arms and go to a wider world, and they will have their own friends, lovers, children, and families ...... them will have their own friends, lovers, children, and families...... Become a lover's partner and a child's dependence...... The growth of the child makes the mother proud and gratified, but the growth of the child also means that she or he is no longer your unique baby, and it is inevitable that there will be a little loss and sorrow.

Ten years after coming to this world, Qiu Chen's skills in combing his hair and pulling his hair have been very proficient, although he can't comb too many fancy hair, but it is already very easy to comb a boy's hair bun. The time was not late, Qiu Chen deliberately slowed down the speed, combed the long black and thick hair very carefully, and let it dry for a while, until the hair was completely dry, then he started, and skillfully combed the sideburns on both sides into two small braids, and cleaned up the sideburns that were slightly scattered, and then saved them together on the top of his head, holding it with a silver hair button, and then, raising his hand, took out a new light cyan scholar crown from the official hat box next to him, and put it on Ah Fu's head, turned around and looked at it for a while, to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then he recognized it with satisfaction.

"Come, it's cold, the number in the county school is windy on all sides, you wear a thin cotton vest and ...... in it" Qiu Chen said as he gave Ah Fu the prepared clothes one by one to put on his body.

In a few moments, Ah Fu was already dressed.

Qiu Chen stroked Ah Fu's collar, pulled La Ah Fu's placket again, took a step back, looked up and down, left and right, looked at the son who was at her mercy with a smile, and couldn't help but smile: "Fu'er has grown up...... Well, okay, hurry up and eat, after eating, my mother will send you down! ”

Ah Fu was not surprised, nor repulsed, nodded with a smile, and walked out of the room obediently under his mother's gaze.

The outside room was equally quiet, without any sound, and the girls and ladies all went to the door of the house to wait. There was a man sitting on the chair in the main hall, and the man had a short mustache on his lips, which made people look more mature and calm, and also had the seriousness of an elder.

Ah Fu raised his eyes and saw that the man was not surprised, but his footsteps were still slightly paused, and then he subconsciously brushed the hem of his clothes, as if to brush away the dust that did not exist, and then raised a smile and stepped forward.

At the age of fourteen, his body has not yet grown up, and his appearance is still childish, but his waist is straight, his bearing is dignified, and his eyes looking at him are clear and calm, but deep enough...... If Qiu Chen judged the child's growth from the child's height and body shape, Qin Zheng saw a deeper level, he saw the ** of the child's thoughts in front of him, and his thoughts were deeper. Increasing age does not necessarily mean that you are deeper and more mature, but maturity and depth are destined to be signs of growth.

"Well," Qin Zheng raised his eyes to look at the young man who slowly walked out, nodded with satisfaction, his cold eyebrows and eyes were much gentler, and there was a touch of approval in his eyes, and he asked gently, "Are you ready?" ”

Ah Fu also came to Qin Zheng, bowed for a long time, and said respectfully: "Thank you father for your care, everything is ready, father doesn't have to worry." ”

Qin Zheng pursed the corners of his mouth, a faint smile flashed, and he gently bowed his head and said, "According to your knowledge, you can also participate in the county exam three years ago." However, if you don't need a child prodigy to decorate the façade at home, it won't let you end up prematurely. This trip is over, and take the exam with peace of mind, don't think about anything else, there is your mother and father! ”

These words didn't sound sensational, and even a little faint, but in Ah Fu's ears, it made his heart move secretly, and his eyes were slightly red.

In any case, his mother is the greatest mother, and his stepfather is good enough, he loves his sister very much, but he is not doting, he always cares and asks, and sometimes he is a little less responsible, and he really takes on the responsibility of a father......

The young man's eyes were slightly wavering, but he was covered by a smile, and after bowing his hands and listening respectfully, he knelt down in a proper manner and solemnly kowtowed goodbye to his stepfather and mother. Qiu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, held the young man's arm and helped him up, while sighing in his heart, the son who was once on her back has now grown up!
