In the blink of an eye, it is winter again, and the new year is also coming in the sound of snowflakes and firecrackers.

Let's say that after all those messy things last year, the Chunyu family didn't have time to enjoy this comfortable life and prepare for a happy year, and it was time to be very nervous again.

The reason is that the county government has already released the list text, and the date of this year's county examination has been decided, and the time is set for February 17, and now the county examination is less than a month away.

And Chunsheng is going to participate in the county examination of the children's examination, which is a major event for the old Li family. You must know that the old Li family has been a farmer for generations, and now there is a scholar in the family, and he has passed the student exam at a young age, and now he is going to participate in the children's life test. Because Chunsheng is only nine years old this year, if he can break the three levels of Xiucai this time, then he will be the youngest Xiucai in Moshan in the past two years. A few years ago, there was a little prodigy here, but he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of six, which made the people here have a long face. But it's a pity that the seven-year-old Xiucai didn't pass the exam later, but went home to farm, but this can't stop people's admiration for him.

At that time, Guo Lin's county exam had already passed the championship, and he was also underreported by two years old, and he reported that he was twelve years old. But he is smart and diligent, and it is very easy to pass the county examination and the government examination, that is, the college examination is passed twice, and because of his outstanding results, he has become a gifted student, not only can he receive the gift rice but also be exempted from the errand, and he can not be punished casually and other privileges if he does not kneel in the county. It's just that he didn't slack off his pride because of this, but studied harder, and laid a solid foundation for the future township examination and the final palace examination.

Chunyu remembered that although her grandfather Yang Xiucai was also a Xiucai at that time, he was an increaser, although he also led the rice to see the official without kneeling, but he was not gifted. It's just that because he was stuck in the township examination and couldn't pass it anymore, he dispelled the idea of taking the imperial examination.

And when it comes to this age, it can't be underestimated. It is said that there are a lot of jokes in this examination room because of age, for example, some students are fifteen or sixteen, but they are reported to be eleven or twelve years old, which is not a few years old. Others are already in their early twenties, but they report that they have just won the crown. What's more, those old students who have never passed the exam all their lives have already practiced thicker than the city wall. Obviously, it seems that he is more than forty years old, but he still dares to open his mouth to report his age of twenty-seven or eight.

In fact, the reason why this kind of thing happens is because there is an unspoken rule here. Because when you go to the county school for the exam, you need to report your age, and if you pass the county exam after reporting, you will also use this age to enter the file in other exams in the future. So if the next exams are all passed, and then the later government exams or even the Beijing rush exams are counted according to this age. If you wait for the step by step switch to the end of the test after the list, then the question comes, a teenage list or a champion in his thirties and forties, which do you think has a broader development space and prospect......

However, Chunyu felt that although her younger brother Xiao Baozi worked hard, after all, he had only received an orthodox education for three years, although he had been enlightened at home for a long time, and he only knew how to read basic books, but he still didn't understand the poetry and policy theory, not to mention the obscure eight-strand text. So although she is also nervous with the people in the family, she is prepared in her heart, Xiao Baozi can pass the test best, it doesn't matter if he can't pass the test, after all, he is less than nine years old, and this child has been tested twice every three years, where has he not had a chance.

Most of the county exams are held in the county school, and the chief examiner is the local county official, who generally takes five exams, respectively, and examines the eight strands of literature and the scriptures, the theory of poetry, the law, and the policy. Moreover, the county examination also requires that there are four local residents of the village and one veteran Xiucai Baoju in order to take the exam. Mr. Zhang, the teacher who is easy to show talent, can be born, and the villagers can say, who in the village doesn't want to be able to make friends with the old Li family. Now the life of Lao Li's family is getting better and better, and first it is the guarantee of the spring student exam, which many people are willing to do.

As for Chunsheng, he has been reading books in the house since years ago, reading the sample articles prepared for him by his teacher, Mr. Zhang, and the handouts of the previous exam experience given to him by Guo Lin, which is very intimate. Chunsheng was grateful for the careful teaching of his teacher and senior brother Guo Lin, so he worked harder and devoted himself to studying. And now he has to work hard to write an eight-strand every day, and he has to practice writing, and he has to practice writing, and he has made a lot of progress in the use of words, but Chunsheng's ambition is high, so he always feels unsatisfied.

Every time Chunyu passes by the window of her younger brother Xiaobaozi, or listens to him reading, or when it is dark, she sees his figure of writing hard on the window paper, and always feels that this child is a little too ruthless. And at such a young age, is it really good to be so enthusiastic about exams? Wouldn't it be a bit utilitarian? But there is one thing she doesn't know, Chunsheng's yearning for fame is all influenced by Guo Lin, thinking that studying is to gain fame. She didn't know about this kind of thought, and if she knew, she might not say anything about her brother.

It was precisely because she didn't understand Xiao Baozi's true thoughts that Chunyu was even more worried, she was afraid that Xiao Baozi would work hard like this at such a young age, and stop exhausting her body. So in the past few days, he tried to make all kinds of nutritious meals for him to eat, and insisted that he drink more water and eat more fruits, and he couldn't stay up too late if he wanted to read, and despite Xiao Baozi's reluctance, he got up early to pull him to run and exercise.

Sure enough, in the past half a month, Chunsheng obviously felt that his body was better than before, and his memory seemed to have improved, and he was also insisted on by his eldest sister to do a set of gymnastics, which is said to be called gymnastics, and the cervical spine that occasionally aches after reading and writing articles for a long time is not uncomfortable. I was very grateful to his eldest sister, and I felt that his eldest sister was a strange woman with skills and ideas. And he is also more determined that he wants to get good results in the exam, so that his family can rest assured and proud of him, and he can enter the court as an official in the future, so that his family can get rid of the poor family of farmers for generations. Chunyu didn't know that Chunsheng was really as she said, and her utilitarianism was a little stronger. However, compared with the sour Confucianism who disdains mundane things and only reads the books of sages and sages at this time, Chunsheng's psychology is still good.
