Everything was ready to stop, and the construction of Du Fu's thatched cottage began before spring ploughing.

This time, Du Fu lived in several thatched huts were repaired by the Wang family, the ruins of Du Fu's thatched cottage restored by Weizhuang are still there, and the place chosen is very good, Zhang Fangping felt that the scene in Du Fu's poem was allusive, so he did not change the place, only let the Wang family repair it on the original site.

Peach trees, bamboos, plum trees, plum blossoms, etc., spring is also a good time for transplanting, and several families quickly sent people to plant flowers and trees.

The only thing that needed to be built was the Du Fu Temple, which was originally not there, so it had to be built from scratch, and a statue of Du Fu had to be made. It is estimated that the transplanted flowers and trees will adapt to the water and soil on this side of Huanhua Creek, and Du Fu Temple can see the eyebrows!

Unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry, Zhang Fangping arranged things and turned to implement the spring ploughing.

There are many mountains in the land of Bashu, if it were not for the predecessors who built Dujiangyan, it would not have become the "country of abundance" in the mouths of everyone.

Because of this, spring ploughing must be implemented well, so as not to have problems with this year's harvest!

Last year, the drought in Jingdong and western Beijing has continued to this day, and the food gap there has to be filled by other places, and I don't know if it will fall on the head of Chengdu, so they have to prepare early. No matter what, you must not allow yourself to starve the people of the earth!

It's the middle of summer again, and Su Lu has been living in Chengdu for a year.

Su Lu studied with Su Shi and them every day, received double the edification of the two great writers, and occasionally went out to play at the invitation of Li Shao and them when he was idle, and met the young people who knew Chengdu Mansion.

Chengdu Mansion is close to Meishan, which is more suitable for development as their rear base than his father's Rendi Lizhou.

It doesn't hurt to know a few more people anyway.

As the summer heat became stronger, it was time for Su Shi and his party to return to their hometowns.

Their ancestral home is Meizhou, and they have to take the township test in Meizhou, and there are more than two months before the township test, so they have to go back to prepare for it.

Su Lu naturally had no reason to stay alone.

Su Lu said goodbye to the little lady of the Zhang family, and asked the little lady of the Zhang family to write a letter to him, and he would come again after the New Year.

At that time, he may accompany his cousin and them to Beijing to take the exam.

Su Lu originally planned to go to his father's place to have a look, but unfortunately there was too much rain in spring and too hot in summer, too dry in autumn and too cold in winter, and no season was suitable for walking on rugged mountain roads.

Li Bai and his old people all said that "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky", so he won't challenge this ultimate difficulty, so let's go to Kaifeng with my cousin and them for a walk.

Last time, their family passed through Kaifeng, and only stayed in a hurry for a few days before returning to Meishan, this time he had to enjoy the scenery of Kaifeng.

Back in Meishan, Su Shi, father and son, had to start preparing for the exam.

It's fine work.

Candidates have to make their own files, and write down their origins, resumes, family situations, etc.

This small book will follow the candidates from the township test to the provincial test.

Some reputable bookstores will help candidates do these things, they have experience, they are not easy to make mistakes, and the fees are not high, mainly thinking that if the candidates are in high school, they can also touch each other's light!

Su Xun didn't respond to the test for the first time, and did not entrust the bookstore outside to help me, but took his two sons to paste the exam roster.

Su Lu observed the whole process from the side, and felt that he had seen a long time.

Su Xun saw Su Lu leaning next to him with a curious face, and casually gave Su Lu about the popular science examination, saying that the examination roster must indicate the family situation within three generations, and beware of someone "moving to take the exam".

It turned out that the township examination of the Great Song Dynasty was to allocate the quota to each state, and the quota in each state was different, and the difficulty of the examination and the strength of the competitors were also very different, so there was already a situation of "imperial examination immigration" in this era!

If there is little hope of getting out of the exam in this state, some people will go to compete for places in small backward areas, and even many people will directly run away from Fengfeng to confess fake relatives and call others to be their fathers, just to be qualified to stay in the capital for the exam.

After all, the acceptance rate of Kaifeng Prefecture is particularly high.

Seeing that these loopholes are becoming more and more common, the imperial court naturally has to start plugging loopholes, and Su Shi's examination roster is one of the measures to standardize the imperial examination!

Su Lu listened to these very familiar gossip about the imperial examination, and had to sigh at people's wisdom in exploiting loopholes: As long as you dare to leave loopholes, someone will dare to do everything possible to drill them!

Buying a house elsewhere and settling down is considered a serious immigration, and the kind of person who changes his name and surname and directly changes his father is really shameless!

Su Lu resolutely resisted such shameful acts.

He asked with concern: "Is it really easy to take the test in Kaifeng?" If my father goes back to the court as a court official, am I considered a Kaifeng person? Will I be able to take the test in Kaifeng then? ”

Faced with Su Xun's long list of questions, Su Xun patiently answered: "Of course, there are a lot of exams over there in Kaifeng. If you want to take the exam in Kaifeng, it is also simple, your father has a place on hand to let you enter the Guozijian to study, then the Kaifeng Guozijian will set up a separate examination room, as long as you pass the Guozijian exam, you will be eligible to participate in the provincial examination, and you don't have to go back to Meishan to participate in the township examination. ”

When Su Lu heard this, he still had to go to school, it was too bitter!

He just wants to be a jinshi, and he doesn't need to think about the ranking.

Even if you get the top prize, there are so many champions throughout the ages, and how many of them can be remembered?

Anyway, Su Lu felt that it was difficult for him to leave a name in history and be famous for centuries with his own ability!

Su Lu said: "If I don't go to Guozijian, can I take the exam directly in Kaifeng?" ”

Su Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "With your father's current official position, it should be possible." ”

Not to mention the number of places for the examination for the children of officials, it is not impossible to directly shadow officials, so it is quite easy for Su Lu to take the exam directly in Kaifeng.

Of course, it would be best for Su Jian to serve in Kaifeng at that time, so as not to fall into the mouth!

Su Lu was relieved.

He is different from those guys who immigrated to the imperial examination, he is an upright Kaifeng candidate.

Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, has a low score in the township test, and the admission rate is high, and now the imperial court is strictly controlled, basically putting an end to the bad behavior of outsiders grabbing places in Kaifeng.

Whether you can do it or not, you can blow it up first.

Su Lu is always full of confidence in himself.

In order to let Lao Su, Da Su and Xiao Su prepare for the exam well, Su Lu asked Yun Niang to ponder nutritious meals for them every day, and change tricks to replenish their brains and bodies.

The effect of Su Lu's care is very significant.

When the autumn breeze started, the Su family began to change out of thin summer clothes and put on slightly thicker autumn clothes.

At this time, the three prospective candidates of the Su family suddenly found that they couldn't wear last year's autumn clothes!

Su Shi stood in front of the autumn clothes he had rummaged through with a shocked face, and his eyes were clearly written in disbelief.

He's fat!

He's so fat that he can't fit into his clothes!

Wang Fu came in from outside with two clothes in his arms, and saw Su Shi's devastated expression, a little unclear.

When he saw the old clothes piled up in front of Su Shi, Wang Fu understood, and said with a smile: "The weather suddenly turned cold today, and I didn't even have time to try the newly cut autumn clothes." You won't be able to wear last year's clothes, and I've helped you change your summer clothes several times during this time. ”

Su Shi said with a wry smile: "I usually eat and drink between readings, and I don't think I have eaten much, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even wear clothes." ”

Wang Fu said: "Brother Gong asked someone to prepare three meals a day for you, not to mention, a snack in the afternoon, a supper at night, and soup and meat dishes every day, how can there be a reason not to be fat?" ”

To be honest, even she and her mother-in-law have gained a little weight.

If it weren't for the woman's beauty-loving nature that made them restrain themselves from eating more, their weight gain speed might not be able to keep up with Su Shi's father and son!

Su Shi thought about the good dishes, soups and snacks he ate every day, and said resolutely: "That's all my brother's intention, how can I live up to it?" ”

Even if he gains a hundred pounds, it can't stop him from continuing to eat!
