The old mansion of the Lin family, compared to Lin Ruhai's official residence, is naturally much more lively. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wing room that the fourth uncle cleaned up was not the wing room on Lin Ruhai's side. This place has been vacant for many years, and it is inconvenient to eat, so I still have to go to the main hall to eat, so I simply live in Lin Feng's house.

"Ah Lan, the family is not as good as the house, this servant has something to take care of, so I won't give you a servant, forgive me. If there is anything, you can tell Ah Qing that the two of you have also gotten along during the New Year's Festival, and you will not have any differences. "The Lin family has been lonely for decades, and the only ancestral property left is the old house and some fields, so there are not many people in the house.

Lin Qing on the side also looks like a clear eyebrow, which is somewhat similar to the fourth uncle, and he looks good with a big white tooth smile, "Yes." If Brother Lan has anything, just tell me to do it, you're welcome. ”

"Then the two of you will talk first, in this way, I will go to the student who promised to be protected, ask him to sign it, and wait in the scientific research shed on the eighth day of the first month of next month."

Presiding over the younger generations of the family to participate in the scientific examination is a major event in the Lin Mansion. It can be said that without the light of Xungui, if the younger generations are not motivated in their later years, the family will soon fall. Now the Lin family is all supported by Lin Ruhai alone, and I don't know who will be able to carry this pillar after Lin Ruhai retires.

"A-Qing, are you still taking the college exam this year?"

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Of course." Last year almost passed, but unfortunately, it was a little bit worse, and this year it will definitely pass! ”

Lin Lan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "Come on." By the way, where does the old uncle who has taken more than 30 county exams and still hasn't passed the county exam live? ”

"Oh, you mean Uncle Wenchang, he lives in the rightmost corner of the back, what are you looking for him, Brother Lan?"

Lin Lan squinted his eyes and smiled: "Find the most experienced person to learn from it." ”

Although he took the name of Wenchang, but God did not favor this old boy, the county has taken the exam more than 30 times, and the county master has changed six or seven, and he is still taking the exam, and there is no one with this experience.

When Lin Lan passed, he happened to see the fourth uncle of the Lin family coming out of there, "Ah Lan, why did you come here?" ”

"Oh, I heard that Uncle Wenchang has a lot of experience in the examination room, so I came here to learn from the scriptures, and I am a little sure."

The fourth uncle frowned and said, "Ah Lan, Uncle Wenchang is very taboo about this, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Old Master Qian, don't go to reveal his old man's scars." ”

"Is it a doll from the Three Boys' family?"

"Yes, cousin." When Lin Feng saw the old man coming out, he respectfully turned around and saluted.

The old man was wearing a gown, his head was full of white hair, the heels of a pair of cloth shoes had long been stepped on, as if they were dragged like slippers, and the half-bald pen in his hand was still stained with ink.

"Uncle Wenchang is good." Lin Lan bowed.

"Well, sure enough, like the three boys, he is a talent. Ah Feng, you go back first, since this kid has something to ask me, and it is rare for the Lin family to produce a talent, I, as an uncle, will naturally teach me. ”

Lin Lan secretly slandered to herself, this old uncle is really embarrassed, he has taken the exam more than 30 times, and he has not passed the first test of the county exam, how smelly the article is can be imagined, there is no ink in his chest, and he has to take the exam, not to mention that he has wasted his life, and he has eaten the food of the Lin family in vain. Of course, these words can only be thought about in Lin Lan's stomach, as a junior, naturally he can't say this about an elder.

The fourth uncle glanced at Lin Lan, and said softly when he rubbed his shoulders: "Pay attention to your tone, don't make him angry, he is a lot older." ”

Lin Lan nodded. Knowing this age, the Lin family has long not expected this old uncle to be able to be named on the gold list, but only to let this elder do what he wants. Such a product of the destruction of the feudal imperial examination is a tragedy.

"Ask, what do you want to ask?"

Lin Lan said: "Where did our Lin family go to take the county test?" ”

"Pingjiang County."

Lin Lan asked again: "How many years has the county magistrate who took the main test this year been serving as the magistrate of Pingjiang?" ”

"It's been a few years." Some expatriate county officials began to rise in a year or two, and some of them were like the county magistrates of Pingjiang County, who served for several years, as stable as dogs.

"Uncle Wenchang, do you remember the exam questions over the years?"

As soon as he heard that Lin Lan had turned around in such a big circle, he still returned to the county test, Lin Wenchang said: "Naturally remember this, I'll go back to the house and get it for you." I have a good habit of writing down any questions I take every year. ”

The corners of Lin Lan's mouth twitched, this good habit didn't seem to bring you good luck.

Lin Wenchang is old, his legs and feet are still vigorous, and it didn't take long to take the five pages over, hand them to Lin Lan, and said: "This is the exam question of our county in the past five years, you can take it and see, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me." ”

Lin Lan glanced at the test questions on the paper, it didn't matter whether he understood the test questions he had taken in previous years. The county lord will not be stupid enough to come up with his own questions again, Lin Lan just wants to see if the county lord will be interested in making things difficult for others.

Some county officials who came up with the questions, in order to show their extraordinary level, did their best to do some bad questions. Some are taken out of context, some cut off the original sentences, and some are just a few punctuation, purely to embarrass candidates. This is like the difficult and strange questions that Lin Lan encountered when he took the college entrance examination, these are the knowledge points, he will set some levels for you and make a few turns.

After reading the title, Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this county master is also a kind person, and the questions are all some common classic sentences. This county exam is originally the lowest level of the exam, and it is really not necessary to make it too difficult, Lin Lan has some confidence in his heart, at least it is no problem to pass, as for the ranking, it depends on fate.

In the face of the imperial examination, he, a modern man, does not have the slightest advantage, and naturally has no sense of superiority. It's good to be able to show your strength.

"Finished reading so soon?" Seeing Lin Lan hand over the test questions, Lin Wenchang was a little unhappy, "Lan boy, didn't my uncle say you, have you thought carefully about this topic and analyzed it?" What can you learn by scanning it like this? Your dad wasn't like you back then. ”

"What my uncle taught me is that Lan'er must take it back and study it well, so as to live up to your teachings."

Lin Wenchang stroked his beard and smiled: "This is a good boy, okay, let's go." I still have a few scriptures to read, so I won't talk to you. ”

Lin Lan secretly scolded herself, you also know that you are talking nonsense. He smiled and walked away.

When he returned to the house, Lin Lan had already thrown away the papers and was still studying, knowing that he would not take the exam, he only went to prepare after his brain was amused.
