"His second aunt, have you heard that those two boys of the Xia family have passed the county exam and are about to go to the examination house to take the exam?"

"What is the county test, and what is the government test?"

"Why are you confused, didn't your kid also follow Master Xia to read and write, he will have to take the exam in the future, the county exam and the government exam are all to be examined, by the way, there is a college exam later, do you know what it is after the college exam, that is Xiucai!"

Regarding the fact that the two brothers Xia Yuanding passed the county examination, Dushan Village was lively and discussed, mostly with envy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After returning home from the county seat, after entering the village, Xia Yuanding found that the villagers' eyes on him had changed.

If he usually shouts his name very casually, he will even have intimate movements, but when the county test comes back this time, even if the villagers who come up to say hello are a little cautious, Xia Yuanding doesn't know if it's good or not.

I don't want to do this, when I go home and see my mother who I haven't seen for many days, Xia Yuanding is a little excited, I really miss my relatives at home after being away from home for so many days.

Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel, even after experiencing the first long trip, Xia Yuanding returned to his own village and his home again, and felt that he couldn't see enough of everything.

"After a day's journey, I'm hungry, my mother made food, you sit first, and my mother will go and get it for you!"

After reading the case, the four of them hurried home, but it was already twilight when they got home.

Hearing what his mother said, Xia Yuanding sat down unceremoniously, but he didn't see it, when Xia Li turned around, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help but cry because of joy!

Xia Yingxue came up and asked, "Yuan Ding, is the county test very simple?" ”

"It's hard to get good in the county test!"

Is the county exam very simple, how could Xia Yuanding admit it, the county exam is very difficult, otherwise why did so many people fail it!

After Daning went through several monarchs, this level of culture and education naturally went up, relative to the Taizu period, it was just after the end of the war, and the population had decreased by a few percent, not to mention people who could read and write.

At that time, when a county took the most basic county examination, the imperial court required that at least three people should be admitted, but there were remote counties, and when the county examination was conducted in a year, only three people took the exam.

Seeing her younger brother answer like this, Xia Yingxue had no choice but to find a stool to sit next to him, her hands supporting her cheeks, and her two big eyes were rolling.

When the mother brought the food, she wanted to hear how her son was living in the county these days, so Xia Yuanding had to go through some of the things he had experienced in detail.

When the plain story was told, I didn't expect the family of three to listen to it with relish, and Xia Yuanding had to admire his eloquence.

However, when Wang Jinxuan decided to go to Bianjing to study medicine, her father and mother sighed at the same time, which was really confusing, what is the pity!

"Okay, now that the county test has passed, let's prepare for the government test in the next time!"

"Got it!"

Every day is short, Xia Yuanding knows that as he grows up day by day, his parents will slowly get older, and now is the time for him to enjoy family affection.

Because of the passing of the county test, Xia Jizu deliberately let him rest for two days, and using these two days, Xia Yuanding also had time to adjust well.

Although on the whole, there was not much time for the official examination of the county examination, but at that time, his spirit was very tight, and he felt a little tired after this relaxation.

"The old man Gu Ji invited me to Tian's house. The green tree village is close to the edge, and the green mountain Guo is oblique outside. Open the noodle garden, and talk about the wine. Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come to chrysanthemums. ”

Due to interest, Xia Yuanding recited a poem and was in a good mood.

"Oh no, no!"

No, when he was in a good mood, why was someone so unhappy, Xia Yuanding decided to take a good look at it, but who was so disappointed.

At this time, Xia Yuanding was next to the bamboo forest at the back of the house, and suddenly heard someone shouting that it was not good, and he thought that something big was going to happen, so he wanted to go and see what was going on.

But after walking a few steps, he bumped into his sister Xia Yingxue.

Xia Yingxue also exclaimed: "Oh no, Yuan Ding, mother!" ”

"What a fuss, mother is in ......"

"Mother, it's not good!"

was tricked again, and Xia Yuanding, who was about to answer, swallowed his words back, scratched his head, and ran back to the house.

"Frizzy, what are you panicking, let's say, what's going on!"

"Mother, the people who entered the city today came back and said that a notice was posted in the city, saying that the royal family was going to choose a concubine, so they would choose from us!"

Xia Li's face changed suddenly, and his voice trembled a little and said, "This, this is impossible!" ”

"Mother, it was Uncle Li who said it himself, I have been in the city for several days, and I just came back from the county seat this morning, please follow me to take a look!" Xia Yingxue tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and said.

At this time, it was evening, and it was only a day before Xia Yuanding and them came back from the county seat, could this notice be posted yesterday afternoon, things were really sudden, and this was the first time that Xia Yuanding suddenly encountered such a thorny problem.

"Yingxue, don't worry, you follow your mother to ask what happened, the emperor was no longer in his prime, and the selection of concubines has stopped for a few years, why did this suddenly come up!"

Regarding the system of choosing concubines, Xia Yuanding inadvertently read a book on this subject, which is still stipulated by Ning Taizu: all the sons of heaven, after the prince, concubines, palace concubines, carefully choose the daughters of good families for them, and those who enter will accept it.

This means that the wives chosen by the emperor and the princes, whether they are concubines or concubines, must go through a strict selection process, and be selected from among the children of ordinary people.

Seeing that his sister and mother were in a hurry to go out, Xia Yuanding naturally followed, otherwise what else could he do.

A courtyard with the gate facing east is the home of Uncle Li who conveyed this matter in Xia Yingxue's mouth.

"Brother Li, what did you say about this?" Coming to the side of the crowd, Xia Li also began to ask anxiously.

"Shi Niang, you don't have to worry, this is nothing to do with your family, no matter what, it won't be Yingxue's turn!"

"That's right!" Xia Li reacted at this time, and at the same time felt a little annoyed that he was in such a hurry, and pulled Yingxue to retreat.

It turned out to be a false alarm, listening to what Uncle Li said, it was a girl between thirteen and sixteen years old, and my sister was not yet old, so it was really unreasonable for them to be anxious.

Someone asked again: "Brother Li, is it really a notice?" ”

"This is still false, I just listened to the person who preached that it was a concubine, and I think the specific details will be conveyed to the township soon, so you better hurry up and prepare!"

Those who come here are basically unmarried girls of appropriate age in their families, and they don't need to worry about their ugly children, but they are more worried about their handsome appearance, good facial features, and suitable figure.

After listening to a few words, Xia Li put his mind at ease, and pulled the child to go back, the cloth at home has not been woven yet, how can he have time to listen to this.

"Mother, Uncle Li hasn't finished talking yet!" Xia Yingxue doesn't want to leave yet, she still wants to hear it.

"I owe it, don't go home yet!"

Seeing this, Xia Yuanding snickered gloatingly, no wonder his sister didn't give him a good face at this time.

Halfway through, Xia Yuanding was stunned, suddenly thought of something, smiled and asked, "Mother, is it time for the cousin of the uncle's family to reach the age!" ”

It's no wonder that Xia Yuanding can't remember it, it's really that this cousin rarely has contact with them, and she is a person who loves to be quiet and doesn't like to move.

"You said Qingxue, she should be fifteen, your uncle is planning to tell her about her in-laws, this is a bad thing!" After saying that, Xia Li didn't want to go back to weaving, so it was better for her to hurry up and inform her.

I complained that the daughter of the Xia family looked better than a water spirit, and this unprovoked disaster had caused trouble, and I didn't know how to get through this difficulty.

Seeing that his mother had already taken a step forward, Xia Yuanding also took steps to continue to move forward.

"Yuan Ding, where are we going?" Xia Yingxue asked.

"Go home!" Xia Yuanding didn't look back, and he didn't care if his sister had the same idea as him, he felt that it was useless for him to run around, and it was better to stay honest.
