Chapter 110: County Exam
Add more, ask for pink.
……
Seeing that Mrs. Ji didn't talk, Uncle Gu exchanged a look with the Jiang family.
"Xia'er has always been with the eldest sister in the past. Xia'er went out, and there was only Xiaoyun by the eldest sister's side, and it was strange that she fell to the ground. Xiaoyun also lost a companion. Uncle Gu had no choice but to continue, "Eldest sister, it's better to let Xue'er come to the eldest sister to accompany the eldest sister and be a companion for Xiaoyun." ”
Uncle Gu said it so clearly, and Mrs. Ji couldn't pretend that she didn't understand.
"Oh......" Mrs. Ji Oh for a while, she didn't go to look at Gu Xue'er, "I'm also old, and I don't like to be as lively as in the past." It's enough to have Xiaoyun, and now there is Xiaotang. It's the two of you, Xia'er is out of the house, and you should keep Xue'er by your side. ”
"This day flies, and in two years, Xue'er should also say goodbye. When the time comes, no matter how much you want to build on Cher's strengths, you can't. …… Take Cher with you. ”
When Mrs. Ji said this, she clearly indicated that she did not plan to take Gu Xue'er to live by her side for a long time. I don't know if she was cold-hearted because of Gu Xia'er's matter, or because she didn't like Gu Xue'er very much in the first place.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were a little speechless. Gu Xue'er was on the side, and she felt that she couldn't get off the stage, her face was flushed, and her mouth was pouted.
Gu Xue'er didn't think that this was because she didn't please Old Lady Ji, she completely counted this matter on Gu Xia'er.
It was Gu Xia'er who offended Mrs. Ji so badly, so she was affected. And Gu Xia'er still refused to help her speak.
She easily persuaded Uncle Gu and the Jiang family to tell Mrs. Ji on her behalf, but Mrs. Ji simply refused. Gu Xue'er sat sullenly for a while, and then felt that she couldn't sit down, so she simply got up and left without saying a word.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family didn't have time to stop them, and watched Gu Xue'er leave.
"This kid! Even if there is something at home, it shouldn't be left in such a hurry. Uncle Gu saw that Gu Xue'er was too different, so he was busy smiling and making up for her.
"Yes, it's something at home, Xue'er is a solid-eyed child, and she regards her eldest sister as a close relative." Jiang also chimed in.
"Hmm......" Mrs. Ji didn't reveal it, she only responded, but after all, she couldn't help but say, "Xue'er, this girl, is still a little reckless." The ancestors of the Gu family did not have such people. ”
Old Mrs. Ji said this, and deliberately glanced at the Jiang family. The implication of her words was obvious, Gu Xue'er's temper naturally followed not the Gu family, but her mother. It's all Jiang's fault.
"If only the eldest sister was willing to teach Cher more." Uncle Gu said with a shy face.
Mrs. Ji didn't answer for a long time.
"I'm old, and I'm out of energy." Finally, Mrs. Ji said.
When Gu Xue'er came to live with Mrs. Ji, it was completely impossible in the end.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were a little unwilling in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
In the blink of an eye, the first month of the year, February, is the month of the county test.
Master Ji Er had already registered for Master Ji San in the county office room, and in the first half of February, he almost pushed a qiē social, and only watched Master Ji San study and prepare for the exam at home attentively.
Seeing that the exam date was approaching, Master Ji Er came up with several sets of test questions according to the rules of the county examination for Master Ji San to do, and looking at the test papers that Master Ji San answered, Master Ji Er became more and more worried.
No one knows the details of Master Ji San's knowledge better than him.
Unless it happens to be a question that he usually does, the results of Master Ji San's participation in the county exam are very worrying.
On this day, in the library pavilion, the second master Ji told his third master Ji and Ji Xiaotang about his worries.
"The third brother will continue to work as such, and he will take the county exam in two years, and it should be fine." Second Master Ji said.
Master Ji San's face immediately became bitter, and if he was asked to work like this for another two years, he would never be able to do it. He is willing to work hard in the short term because he got Ji Xiaotang's promise.
Master Ji San turned his head to look at Ji Xiaotang.
"According to my father, my uncle's words have passed, and when I talk about the four books and five classics, I can still hold on without showing timidity for a while, right?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Yes." Second Master Ji nodded.
"The rules of the exam, my father has taught all the rules to my uncle?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.
Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji both nodded.
"I also agree with my father's words, as long as the county test is the question that the uncle has done, then the uncle will definitely be able to pass the county test." Ji Xiaotang said.
Second Master Ji naturally wouldn't suspect that Ji Xiaotang was going to bribe Xie Zhixian or steal the exam questions of the county exam. He thought of things that most exam-taking readers would think of.
"Xiaotang is talking about the question?"
"Exactly." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
There are five county exams, of which the first one is the most critical, and the exam questions are two four-book essays, plus a five-word and six-rhyme test poem.
"I prayed to my grandfather for three ......"
Ji Xiaotang solemnly took out three sticks from his sleeve.
"Uncle prepares for the county exam like this, and nine times out of ten, he will be able to pass the exam."
"Take it and see it." Master Ji San immediately said eagerly.
Ji Xiaotang handed the signature to Master Ji San, who didn't look at it himself, but forwarded it to Master Ji Er. Second Master Ji took the sign in his hand and looked at it for a long time.
"This is indeed the topic that Xie Ziqian will come up with." Second Master Ji said slowly.
Second Master Ji still had some doubts. He agreed to Ji Xiaotang's request to sign up for the county exam for Master Ji San, and let out the news outside, mainly because he wanted to urge Master Ji San to study. As for taking the exam to gain fame, in his opinion, Master Ji San still has to work hard and wait two more years.
Ji Xiaotang had already guessed what Ji Er was thinking.
"I know my dad doesn't believe it, but my uncle will take the county exam this year, so there is no harm to us, right? Since that's the case, why not give it a try? Ji Xiaotang persuaded Second Master Ji.
"Second brother, I'm willing to try." Master Ji San immediately said.
"Daddy, you promised me." Ji Xiaotang said again.
"Well, it's up to you." If you think about it, this is indeed the truth. "It's not the same thing according to your business."
Once you've decided on the topics you want to prepare, the rest will be easy.
Ji Xiaotang grabbed the pen, Ji Er touched up, two flowery but not outstanding articles, and a regular trial poem were all prepared. Master Ji San only needs to recite it word for word and write it silently in the examination room.
On February 15, the first test of Qingyuan County was opened.
Everyone in the Ji family, including Mrs. Ji, got up early in the morning, and the family sent Master Ji San out of the gate. Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang also followed Master Ji San into the carriage and wanted to personally send Master Ji San into the examination room.
The examination room for the county examination in Qingyuan County is located in the county office.
The carriage of the Ji family arrived early, and although the second master Ji felt sorry for the third master Ji, he still asked him to get off the bus and go to the queue by himself. Ji Xiaotang helped Master Ji San check the test basket for the last time.
Master Ji's test basket was prepared by Ji Xiaotang and the girls according to the list issued by Master Ji, which can be said to be complete.
Ji Xiaotang followed Master Ji San out of the carriage and handed the test basket to Master Ji San.
"Uncle, go in later, remember not to rush no matter what." Ji Xiaotang winked at Master Ji San, and reminded him again not to get carried away because he saw the familiar exam questions, to remember that he is not a great talent, and when the time comes, he must answer the questions slowly, and don't let people, especially Xie Zhixian, who knows his details, see the flaws.
"Don't worry, Uncle remembers it." Master Ji San also blinked knowingly.
The spring is cold, and Master Ji San refused to let Ji Xiaotang stand under the carriage for a long time.
"Go back with your father and wait for the good news from your uncle."
Although Master Ji San said this, Ji Xiaotang still watched Master Ji San enter the examination room with his own eyes, and then returned to the carriage and sat down. got into the carriage, Ji Xiaotang did not go home, but went to the restaurant in front of the county office.
Master Ji Er had already set a location in the restaurant, which was diagonally opposite the exit of the county examination room, which was the so-called Dragon Gate. As long as there are candidates coming out of it, their father and daughter can see it in the restaurant.
They sent Master Ji San to take the exam, and they also had to personally pick up Master Ji San to go back.
They are obviously not the only parents of candidates with such an idea.
There are people who recognize the second master of Ji who came up to greet and talk, and they all said that the eldest brother is like a father, and what he said is that the second master Ji is to the third master of Ji. Second Master Ji has high hopes for Third Master Ji.
The county examination in Qingyuan County started at the beginning of the morning, and the first batch of ten candidates handed in their papers at the end of the morning. In this, naturally, there is no Master Ji San.
Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang looked at the direction of the examination room, one worried and the other relieved.
What Master Ji Er is worried about is that there is no Master Ji Third among these candidates, could it be that Ji Xiaotang did not bet on the right question? Ji Xiaotang was relieved that Master Ji San was still able to calm down after all.
After the first batch of ten people came out, only a little more than a quarter of an hour apart, the second batch of ten candidates came out of the examination room.
"Uncle, daddy, look, uncle is out." Ji Xiaotang's eyes were sharp, and he recognized Master Ji San from ten people at a glance.
"Okay, let's pick up your uncle." Second Master Ji was also happy to see Third Master Ji, so he took Ji Xiaotang down from the restaurant.
Master Ji San held the exam basket in his hand and looked at the second master Ji and Ji Xiaotang who rushed to him.
"Second brother, Xiaotang, didn't you go home? Just waiting for me? Oops, I didn't say it, just let the guys wait for me. The second brother should stay at home at this time, Lang Zhong can say that the second sister-in-law's delivery date is in these days. Master Ji San said babblingly.
Master Ji San is usually not a person of many words. He's like that now, not just because of gratitude, but because of excitement. Naturally, others couldn't see it, because Master Ji San had almost no expression on his face at the moment.
But this can't be hidden from Ji Xiaotang.
"Daddy, uncle, let's stop talking here, get in the car and go home. Grandmother and mother should be in a hurry. Ji Xiaotang said.
"That's right." Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji said at the same time.
The three men got into the carriage and looked at each other, but they didn't speak. Until the carriage entered the gate of the Ji family, the three of them sat in the front study first.
After retiring the people who served, without waiting for Second Master Ji to ask, Third Master Ji's paralyzed face had already turned into a big smile.
"Xiaotang, hit, hit!"
Master Ji San said these words with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Ji Xiaotang, looking at his posture, but he wanted to pick up Ji Xiaotang and throw him into the air. When Ji Xiaotang was still a ball, Master Ji San often took Ji Xiaotang to play like this behind his back. Ji Xiaotang is very familiar with this posture.
Ji Xiaotang squinted and stood still.
It was still Master Ji San who found out that something was wrong. Ji Xiaotang is no longer a small ball that he can casually throw up. Even so, Master Ji San did not withdraw his hand, but still hugged Ji Xiaotang's shoulders and raised it.
"Ahem!" Ji Er coughed dryly.
Only then did Master Ji San put Ji Xiaotang down.
"Tell me about it." Second Master Ji was also a little anxious.
"Second brother, Xiaotang has won all three questions." Only then did Master Ji San smile and say to Second Master Ji.
"All hit?" Second Master Ji was surprised and delighted.
"All-in-the-middle." Master Ji San had calmed down a little at the moment, so he talked to Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang about the things in the examination room.
“…… When I opened the exam paper, I read all the questions first, and it was the question that Xiaotang bet on. Master Ji San was so happy at that time that he almost jumped up.
