Chapter 171: A Great Thing
After this money incident, he and his father seem to be more affectionate, and even his mother Chen rarely served his father several times at dinner.
The day at home is warm and plain, the day has never been interrupted to get up early to practice calligraphy, after practicing calligraphy, Zhu Ping'an went to a nearby place not far to read a book for a while, and then came back to enjoy his mother's loving breakfast. After eating, reading books, warming books, and copying books, the day is so plain but fulfilling.
In this way, the days passed, Zhu Ping'an finished copying the books he borrowed from Li Da Cai's house, and after breakfast, Zhu Ping'an was about to return the books from his home to Li Da Cai's house when there was a knock on the door.
Zhu Ping'an went to open the door with his schoolbag cross-legged, but the moment he opened the door, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
"Teacher, you're back."
After Zhu Ping'an arrived, he bowed as soon as possible, "When the teacher arrived home, it was safe and sound, and I couldn't go to meet the teacher." β
Standing outside the door was Zhu Ping'an's mentor Sun Laofu, Sun Laofu's red face was full of energy, holding a cloth bag, smiling and brushing his beard, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years younger.
"Excuse me, excuse me. The old man is in a hurry to come and get used to it. β
When Mr. Sun saluted Zhu Ping'an, he immediately supported him with one hand.
"Teacher, please come in quickly."
Zhu Ping'an insisted on arching to the end, and then got up with a smile and opened the door wide.
Old man Sun walked in with a cloth bag in his hand.
At this time, Zhu's father had been driving the ox cart out for a while, and the eldest brother was also gone, and only his mother Chen was at home.
"He's here, please take a seat. Baby. Say hello. β
Mother Chen made a pot of hot tea, brought it to the hall, and then went back to the room, giving the hall to Zhu Ping'an and Mrs. Sun.
"I'm tired." Old man Sun said politely.
"The old man was very pleased with this children's test." Old man Sun stroked his beard. With a red face, he was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's performance in this children's test.
"It's all taught by the teacher, and it's just a good time to be born." Zhu Ping'an replied with a smile.
"The head of the high school case, he is still not arrogant or impatient, and the old man is quite pleased, but this time the child test. Your performance is worthy of the old man's praise. Mr. Sun was quite pleased that Zhu Ping'an was still not arrogant or impatient after his achievements, and he was even more satisfied with his own excavation.
Zhu Ping'an had to laugh.
"The old man came this time because I have something to tell you." Old man Sun looked at Zhu Ping'an, stroked his beard and smiled.
A great thing?

What would be a great thing? Look at me as young and promising as in the novel. Want to introduce me? But the granddaughters and granddaughters of Old Husband Sun's family have already got married, and the great-granddaughter or something is estimated to be able to run now, which is not suitable.
Zhu Ping'an didn't know what the good thing Sun Laofu said for a while.
Old man Sun looked at his proud protΓ©gΓ© at a loss, and was relieved, "This year coincides with the ten-year ceremony of the enthronement of the saint, and there is an official report that the Qilin in the northwest is patrolling the mountain, and the saint is overjoyed, and the dragon is happy." Special Purpose Enco. β
Enko?
The emperor is going to open Enke, the township exam was originally opened next year, and the last township exam was just taken last year. Originally, I thought that I would have to wait another two years to take the township exam, but I didn't expect the emperor to open Enke, so doesn't that mean that I can go to the township exam this year.

In other words, when is Enko going to take the exam? It won't be winter, the township test is not like the children's test, but you have to stay in the examination room for several days in a row. It's a little scary to think about the fact that in the middle of winter, you have to live in the narrow house of Jiangnan Gongyuan for several days.
Old man Sun looked at Zhu Ping'an's appearance. I thought Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed.
"Don't get too excited, you're still young. This time, you can do your best. Old man Sun picked up the teacup, blew it slightly, took a sip slowly, and exhorted Zhu Ping'an.
"Oh, thank you for the reminder." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hand and thanked him respectfully.
"Well, although you are young, you are the most reassuring to me." Old man Sun nodded with satisfaction.
After a while, Old Man Sun put down the teacup in his hand and pushed the cloth bag on the table to Zhu Ping'an.
belch
This is?
Zhu Ping'an was a little puzzled.
Although you are young, the old man is quite pleased to be the first to take the high school entrance examination. This time, if there is no accident, you can definitely go. Therefore, the old man decided to crown you in advance, and it is also a gift, this bag is a gift from your wife, and tomorrow you will come to the old man's house with this dress, and the old man will crown you. β
After Mr. Sun pushed the cloth bag to Zhu Ping'an's side, he said the main purpose of the trip.
Crowning, so fast, isn't it possible for adults to be crowned.
The crown ceremony is a kind of Chinese national ceremony, and it is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Han men in ancient China. During the Yuan Dynasty, the crown ceremony was almost abolished, and the Ming Dynasty quickly restored the destroyed Chinese etiquette system, and the crown ceremony achieved a second revival. In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the crown ceremony was edicted, from the emperor and the imperial officials, and the people of the lower and the concubines, all formulated the ceremony of the crown ceremony, and on the whole, the crown ceremony of the Ming Dynasty was more popular.
Of course, the crown ceremony is mainly valued by the upper class, and the mountains and villages are less valued. However, as a scholar, the crown ceremony is also very important, and most of them are crowned by elders and teachers. There are basically few crowning ceremonies in Xiahe Village, and they don't pay attention to it, so Old Man Sun will be responsible for crowning Zhu Ping'an.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Zhu Ping'an took the cloth bag, got up from the table, and bowed long.
After Mr. Sun finished speaking, he stayed for a while, told Zhu Ping'an some of the essentials of the Four Books and Five Classics, and left. Zhu Ping'an sent Mr. Sun to the entrance of the village before returning.
"Tell my mother, what is Enko?"
As soon as Zhu Ping'an entered the house, he was dragged by his mother Chen, and asked curiously and excitedly.

Listen to the corner, no, Mother.
"The ordinary township test is an annual test, Enke, how to say it, that is, there is a great joy in the imperial court, and the holy lord specially issued a holy decree to test Enke. It's just to take the exam once, so I can go to the township exam this year. Zhu Ping'an explained to his mother Chen.
"Township test, what is it?" Mother Chen's curiosity became even stronger.
"The township test is an exam that can only be taken by talents, and after being admitted, it is a lift." Zhu Ping'an then explained.
"Is it a big official?" Mother Chen was so excited.
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to continue to explain to his mother Chen, but after listening to Zhu Ping'an's explanation to the lifter, his mother Chen continued to ask what the benefits of lifting the person were and so on.
When he heard that Zhu Ping'an would bring the preferential treatment of the lifter one by one, especially when he heard that the lifter was almost stepping on the door of being an official, his mother Chen urged Zhu Ping'an to study with her eyes shining.
"Go read the book, read it well"
Mother Chen couldn't help but push Zhu Ping'an to the room and let him read the book, Zhu Ping'an had to cross the cloth bag and smile bitterly, saying that he was going to go to Li's house to return the book just now, so he had to go again in the afternoon. (To be continued)
