After Chen Junsheng asked the maid to secretly send the hand-copied books into the house, Mei Xueyan never came out of the threshold, and studied day and night for three consecutive days, and it snowed in the night for several days, and the quiet courtyard was always lit with dim lamps. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Lady, I know that you are sick and bored, don't be bored in the house, you have to breathe more, reading too much will hurt your nerves."

Mrs. Chen followed Mei Xueyan into the Lin Mansion together, she had never heard her say that she could read, she explained that her father and mother taught her when she was young, but she was not yet six years old at that time, and her memory was not opened. Mrs. Chen always persuaded her to move around more, Mei Xueyan only smiled and agreed, still going her own way, Mrs. Chen didn't know what she was going to do, she just thought it was reading to relieve her fatigue, so she could only be left undisturbed.

"The University", "The Mean", "The Analects", "Mencius" and "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "The Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn" brought by Jun Sheng are the most basic four books and five classics, and eighty percent of the examination questions in the township examination are from them, but if you want to be admitted to the children's school, these are far from enough."

The basic Four Books and Five Classics, Mei Xueyan has been familiar with them from the memory of her previous life, and Chen Junsheng has copied these books the most, and most of those who are determined to take the test will inevitably be.

Mei Xueyan guessed that the child's test was knowledge, and the more books he read, the better, and Chen Junsheng also thought so, fortunately, he could use it in the bookstore, so unlike other poor children, even if he had the heart to read poetry and books, he didn't have money to buy books, and most of the students would make up a few people to make money and transcribe a few copies after buying.

"I am also familiar with "Historical Records", "Zuo Chuan", "Mozi", etc., but I ......"

Mei Xueyan's biggest problem is that although the Chinese history of her previous life is roughly the same as the history of Jingguo's previous dynasties, there are some differences in the details and time of the characters! How broad is the long history? Mei Xueyan sorted out and integrated day and night, and only then did she sort out the major events of celebrities in the past dynasties.

"There can be no mistakes and mistakes in the time, place, and dynasties."

Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin and Han Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties...... After the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, it was the Sui Dynasty, not the Jing Dynasty where Mei Xueyan was located, although there were also imperial examinations in Chinese history, but the formation was after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, unlike the previous dynasties before Jingguo, which paid attention to talent and literary talents, and the beginning of the imperial examination was the sage Confucius!

It is said that after Kong Qiu was born, he looked ugly and was abandoned in the wilderness by his parents, but he was protected by birds and beasts, and he was fed animal milk to relieve his heat, and then returned to his mother. Confucius's mother was a concubine, and her status was underground, and she was later kicked out of the house by her wife.

Mei Xueyan deeply felt the same when she read this, she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin Mansion, which was worse than the concubine's room, and her life experience was as bleak as that of Kong Sheng.

Kong Qiu was poor and ordinary when he was young, and it was not until he was middle-aged that he traveled around the world to learn from the past and the present, and was later reused by the Lu State and served as the chief secretary. Subsequently, he revised the "Book of Music" and "Book of Rites" and other books, and wrote the "Spring and Autumn Period" by himself, which shocked the world and was named a saint. Subsequently, the imperial examination system was established to select talents for various countries to follow, and from then on, disciples of the poor family could also be knighted.

After Confucius was old, he founded Qufu Academy, with 30,000 disciples, 3,000 personal descendants, and 72 virtuous disciples.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and after all, Confucianism was respected.

The saint passed away, but the Qufu Academy was famous for a hundred generations, for the Jingguo Academy, the Academy of Literature and the Imperial Court complement each other, the meritocracy, the imperial examination to distinguish the literary position, divided into children, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, Confucian.

Today's Jingguo is the most important person to learn, and the literati are supreme!

Although the civil position does not have the power of an official position, it is as noble as an official position!

"Once I get a literary position, my identity will be completely different, if the Shen family wants to embarrass me again, I must also weigh my own weight, and this Lin Mansion is no longer my prison place! There is no record in history that a woman participated in the imperial examination, but the private school of the Academy of Literature did not refuse the daughter of the official eunuch to go to school, so I will be the first person! ”

Mei Xueyan only slept for one hour every night, because the next day was the township test, she added an extra hour to this night in order to recuperate, although her body was tired, her spirit was vigorous and sober.

Carefully packed up the things for the exam, Mei Xueyan sat on the bed and waited for the hour, the sky was slightly bright, only the rough maiden in the house got up, and the lady also got up early to follow the female training, but she would go to the ancestral hall to recite the scriptures and worship, and the Shen family would not get up until the time came, and Mei Xueyan had to avoid their people if she wanted to sneak out of the house.

Just as Mei Xueyan got up, there was a bang at the courtyard door.

"What time are you still sleeping? The dead pigs in it are not up to work! It's just such a lazy pig woman who is sick and dies, what is Mrs. Chen picking up and doing?! Waste my Lin family's food! ”

Mei Xueyan's expression changed slightly, and then returned to the same as before, in the Lin Mansion, there is only the Shen family, she is definitely not early, why is it abnormal today?

Looking around, Mei Xueyan hurriedly pressed the book under the table.

"Sick man! Hurry up and do the laundry and sweep the floor! I won't talk about you being lazy these days, but you're really lying in the house every day? How thick is the dust in the yard? If you come back and see such a scene in the house, watch out for your little slut's hooves! ”

Mei Xueyan is silent, although the Lin Mansion is in decline, it is not even a sweeping girl, could it be that without her, the Lin Mansion will be deserted? It's nothing more than the Shen family deceiving people.

From Shen's words, Mei Xueyan also heard it, no wonder she got up early today, it turned out that her husband Lin Erlang had returned home today, and she had to make a good greeting. Lin Erlang said on the face that he was in charge of business outside, and he only returned home after three days and two ends, and no one knew whether he was really buying and exporting goods or messing around.

The courtyard door was already rotten, and even the bolt was broken, Chen Pozi only took a broom to resist it, and was kicked open by Shen, and rushed in in a hurry.

"Isn't that already up? What are you doing in the house? ”

Shen wanted to drag Mei Xueyan out of the futon and pull her outside to work, but she didn't expect that she was already dressed, and there were a few patches on the cotton robe, but they were also tightly covered.

Shen Shifeng's eyes moved, she thought that Mei Xueyan was terminally ill, and even if Mrs. Chen brought it back, she would support it for two days at most, not to mention that she had already banned food for the two of them, and she had to starve to death? I didn't expect it to be good, despite the yellowing appearance of the face after the first recovery from a serious illness, I finally have some energy, and it seems that I have come back to life!

"I'm about to clean the yard, what is my sister-in-law doing?"

Mei Xueyan lowered her eyebrows and said seemingly softly.

Shen was slightly stunned, sister-in-law? This little slut has never called herself a sister-in-law, she is San Lang's child daughter-in-law, and Shen is Lin Erlang's wife, she doesn't want to have anything to do with her at all, and she lost her identity!

"What are you rubbing about? Waiting for me to invite you? ”

Shen, who originally wanted to do it immediately, was made by her sister-in-law to not have a seizure, Shen did not treat Mei Xueyan as the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, but only treated her as a subordinate, and when she shouted like this, Shen realized that Mei Xueyan had grown up, only half an inch shorter than herself, standing in front of her, she actually lost her condescending momentum.

This is also related to Mei Xueyan's frequent bowing of her head and waist in the past.

"Thank you sister-in-law for coming to visit, I'm already much better, thanks to my sister-in-law's bodhisattva's heart, I invited Lang Zhong to catch the medicine for me, otherwise I will definitely not be able to survive this catastrophe and be eaten by evil ghosts."

What invited Langzhong? Lang Zhong, who treated her, didn't invite her, Shen knew it very well.

"Could this little hoof be sick and confused? And thank me. ”

Shen is in a daze, Mei Xueyan has always been silent, even if the stick falls on her, she is like a dead person, and she actually spoke today. Shen was made by her like this, and his anger disappeared by thirty percent, who doesn't want to be praised? didn't notice that the evil ghost in Mei Xueyan's mouth was her.

"Don't be close to me!" Shen Shi stiffened his face and shouted, "In the past few days, I have cut off the rations of you and Mrs. Chen, but your little hooves are so good, I already knew that you had private money, except for the monthly money issued by the Lin Mansion, everything else is public, where did your private money come from?" Where to hide?! ”

Mei Xueyan knew that she was here to kill them all.

When Mei Xueyan came into the house, not only was the dowry taken away by her wife, but she never even got a single ingot of silver after that, and Mrs. Chen was also troubled, and she never had any monthly silver! It's nothing more than that Mrs. allocated some silver taels for her treatment for the sake of face, and she was targeted by the Shen family.

"My sister-in-law has a great kindness to me, not to mention silver, my things are all my sister-in-law's, and if my sister-in-law sees anything in this house, I will take it."

Shen didn't realize that Mei Xueyan regarded herself as a bandit and robber, and thought that she had taken the wrong medicine and her brain was not bright.

Shen Shi was not polite, and turned his head around in the hut.

The cold kiln was ugly, and there was not even anything valuable, Mei Xueyan stood aside with cold eyes, rummaging around with her. There was only an old bed in the room, not even a mosquito net shelf, a cabinet that the lady did not use, and a lame wooden table with books and a small stove under the legs.

The quilt and pillow were lifted, and Shen Shi didn't find a copper plate, what else was in the cabinet except for a few tattered clothes? Of course, Shen couldn't find the silver, so he kicked a few times in anger, and the cabinet door fell down and startled Shen.

Shen held back the fire and had nowhere to vent, and suddenly saw a stack of books under the table legs, and kicked it down.

"Where did this come from? Do you know how expensive paper is? You used it to pad the table?! ”

"It's written, sister-in-law, if there is a shortage of charcoal in the house, I'll help you take it back and burn it as firewood!"

Shen snorted, she is not rare, the paper burns fast and smokes a lot, and it is almost the same to take it back as toilet paper to wipe her buttocks! She came with her teeth and claws, and Mei Xueyan dissolved it for her with a smile, like a punch on cotton, and finally rectified Mei Xueyan, Shen didn't find the remaining money, and muttered, "How weird is this sick ghost today" and strode out of the door.

She didn't want to stay longer, for fear of contaminating Mei Xueyan's illness. When I went to the yard to see a few small cabbages planted by Mrs. Chen, Shen stepped on them a few times, and she also got a foot of snow cement on her, scolding outside.

"Who allowed you to make the courtyard of the house into such virtue? Build a melon shed to cultivate vegetable furrows, when it is a thatched hut in the countryside? Outsiders can't laugh at me when they see it, Lin Mansion is shabby! I'll send someone to tear it down!" ”

Mei Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally persuaded Shen to retreat, but fortunately Shen was illiterate and didn't really want these waste papers, but Chen's mother came back, but she had to feel sorry for the cabbage seedlings she had worked so hard to steal.

"It's still early, and the Shen family won't come when they leave."

Putting up her jacket collar, Mei Xueyan braved the cold wind and sneaked out of the Lin Mansion.
