holiday
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, spring has come to an end, and summer has arrived.
Through this period of tireless study, coupled with Master Zhang's opening of a small stove from time to time, Xie Yanqing's understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics in just a few months is a higher level than before.
As the saying goes, "in the summer of June, the body is hot and sweaty", and the temperature in ancient summer was not to be underestimated. In the absence of air conditioning and fans, ice is a good tool for cooling down, but although the county school is a government-run school, it has not been able to provide ice to the students' classrooms. Therefore, in the hot weather of thirty or forty degrees, Xie Yanqing and his students still have to wear long shirts to study in the stuffy and narrow classroom, which is sour......
The Xia Dynasty allowed merchants to open ice cellars, but digging ice cellars required great financial and material resources, so unless they were big businessmen or bureaucrats who planned to sell ice, ordinary people would not have ice cellars.
As for saltpeter ice, Xie Yanqing just wants to hehe. The method of making ice from saltpeter was discovered in the Tang Dynasty, but since then, saltpeter has been under the control of the government, and it is simply impossible for ordinary people to get saltpeter.
But fortunately, not only Xie Yanqing and his students couldn't stand such a hot weather, but also the masters of the county school couldn't stand it.
In addition, the busy farming season is approaching, so the edict ordered someone to post a notice yesterday that the county school will be closed from July 8 to August 17.
"Yan Qing, I heard that the results of this test have been posted, let's wait and see. Hey, it's too hot this day, the iceberg won't melt after a while, and the house is like a steamer. Zhou Junbo looked at Xie Yanqing, who was writing there shirtless, and said weakly, how can it be so hot this day?
"It's getting hot outside, so let's go and see it after dinner. But then again, you don't care about the test results, why are you in such a hurry? Xie Yan replied without raising his head.
"If you're okay, just pack your luggage, tomorrow after the teaching, presumably we will have a holiday, and you will inevitably miss your things temporarily.
"The luggage will be packed up in the next two treasures, you can rest assured!" Zhou Junbo waved his hand and said absentmindedly, on such a hot day, let him pack his luggage, it is better to let him die.
"But, Yan Qing, are you sure you will get the first place in this test?"
"I've done my best."
Xie Yanqing replied calmly that after coming to the county school, they had a total of three monthly exams, the first monthly exam he was third, and the second monthly exam he won the first place. He has played at his highest level in this monthly exam, and it is good to be the first to be the first, but if he fails to get the first place, he will not complain.
"You're so calm, but with your results, it's either first or second, and there's nothing to worry about......"
Under the scorching sun, a sturdy ox was walking slowly with a crunching carriage, when suddenly, a dark-skinned teenager poked his head out of the carriage, and in a few moments, the cart stopped. Then another fair-skinned teenager rushed out of the ox cart in one go, ran to the side of the road, and vomited.
"Stone, are you feeling better? Why don't we rest a little longer? Chen Da looked at Xie Yanqing, who was pale, and said worriedly.
"It's okay, cousin, let's hurry up, it's going to Fanzhou Town soon, I'll just go to the town to drink a bowl of herbal tea." Xie Yanqing took Chen Da's hand and got into the ox cart slowly, and said weakly.
He now understands why so many books are on the way, this ancient road is really not human. He vomited three times today, and if he didn't get home and get some rest, he was afraid that he wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
"Stone, you really should exercise more, usually your exercise is still too little." Looking at the thin Xie Yanqing, Chen Da couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Xie Yanqing's tears were about to fall. 100 push-ups a day, 50 sit-ups, and a quarter of an hour of horse walking, which is called less exercise?
After seeing the familiar village, Xie Yanqing couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, oh my God, he finally returned home alive.
The ox cart stopped at the gate of the Xie family, and when he heard the sound, the Li family, who was busy in the house, rushed out at once. His old cow happened to be staying in the cowshed, and this sound was definitely the return of his precious grandson.
"Stone, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xie Yanqing, who was pale and was helped out of the ox cart by Chen Da, Li's tears fell all of a sudden, her precious grandson suffered a great crime!
"Milk, I'm just a little sick, it's not a big deal, just take a break." Looking at the Li family with tears like rain, Xie Yanqing's nose twitched, this is the family, it will hurt because of your pain.
"Okay, milk stone, it's good to be back! I'll help you go back to your room to rest, you sleep first, and I'll let my little sister go to the doctor. ”
Xie Yanqing did not refuse the Li family, after all, he himself was a little worried now, this ancient medical level, he had to guard against it.
"The stone is just motion sickness and a little bit of heat stroke, it's not a big problem, wait for the three bowls of medicine I left to fry into a bowl, and after drinking it, it's okay to sweat, brother, you can rest assured." Lin Lin Ping packed up his medicine box and comforted Xie Mancang.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you so much." Xie Mancang sincerely thanked Lin Linping, stone is his lifeblood.
