"Big brother!"

Xia Yuanding followed his father to his uncle's house and met Xia Shouren. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Fourth brother, but are you going to go back to the ancestral tomb to worship your ancestors?" Xia Shouren is dressed as a literati scholar, and his eyes always look at each other when talking to people, so that people will not feel despised .

Xia Yuanding listened to the conversation and realized that he had come to pick up some things to prepare for the ancestors, and these things had always been placed in Xia Shouren's house, and Xia Shouzhi said a few days ago that he would come to pick them up when he was free.

"Everything is ready for you, Yuhuan, go and get the things!"

I saw that Xia Yuanding's eldest aunt immediately turned around and went to the inner room, took a prepared package, and put it on the table next to her.

"Shouzhi will stay and eat!" Although the uncle is dressed as a scholar, Xia Yuanding sees that the aunt is dressed like an ordinary peasant woman, except for cleaning up, there is no other difference, and it is not the daughter of a scholar.

"I don't want to, I'm waiting at home, I won't go, they can't cook!" Xia Shouzhi resolutely refused, it is not a trivial matter to eat someone else's meal casually, although they are brothers, but after all, they are separated.

"Shouzhi just stay, and be polite to me!" Xia Shouren also said the same.

"Big brother, forget it, it's really not good today!" Xia Shouzhi said.

Xia Shouren saw that the fourth brother refused resolutely, and he didn't say anything anymore, he also knew that leaving someone to eat like this would definitely be rejected, but kind words were always indispensable.

"Yuan Ding, come, give, this is what your aunt prepared for you, take it and eat it!"

Xia Shouzhi saw that his aunt was stuffing food into his arms, and he didn't know whether to ask for it for a while, so he had to ask Xia Shouzhi for help.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go back to eat right away, don't give Yuan Ding anything to eat, save waste!" stopped talking, Xia Yuanding felt that this was not something that his father could say, what did he say if he ate it, he would waste it, and he couldn't eat the mountain goods that others ate.

"I don't like to hear Shouzhi's words, but my father is praising Yuanding, and the eldest aunt gives it, so you can't refuse!" said that the things had already arrived in Xia Yuanding's hands.

"Okay......" This kind of care, Xia Yuanding silently endured it, thinking to himself, this trip with his father was not in vain, but in the script, aren't aunts and uncles all bad people, what is wrong.

"Big brother, this Yuanzhi went to study in other places, and he said that he was looking for a famous teacher before, and he has been gone for a while, but there is a letter to send!" Xia Shouzhi didn't stop his son this time, so he changed the topic and chatted with his eldest brother.

"After I just left after the year, I came to a letter, saying that everything was going well, and that I was very nervous about my studies, and I was going to read the next letter soon. Xia Shouren talked about his son's situation, and praised his nephew by the way.

"I heard that Yuanzhi is going to take the children's exam this year, counting the days, the county exam should have passed, right, I don't know if the eldest brother can get the results?" Xia Shouzhi remembered that when the eldest brother used to take the children's exam, it was in February. Xia Shouzhi cares about this, and naturally has secrets that no one knows.

"I've passed the test, but the news hasn't come yet, and I don't know what the result is!" Xia Shouren said that he didn't know, and what if he passed, he was far away from the qualification of Xiucai!

The children's examination is an examination to obtain the qualification of students, and students are also known as Xiucai. There are three stages of the children's examination, the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination.

The requirement for the county examination is that only four people from the village and one person can be promoted. In February, it was presided over by the magistrate, and there were a total of five exams, including the examination of the text, the trial of poetry, the scriptures, the law, the policy theory, etc., and those who have been admitted are eligible for the next government examination.

In April, the prefectural examination was held by the prefect, and five village residents and one scholar were required to take the prefect examination.

Xia Jizu and Xia Shouren have both passed the county examination and the government examination, and they can be called children, but they have repeatedly been stuck in the hospital examination and cannot pass this hurdle. Of course, you can't laugh at them, because such people are not one or two, and some people are still children when they survive to the age of sixties.

In Dushan Village, no one dares to laugh at their Xia family, a family with two children, which is also a great honor, who dares to laugh at the scholars.

Seeing that the uncle became excited when he talked about the exam, Xia Yuanding had gained a lot, but he didn't expect that a small show talent would have to pass three levels and break through five generals, this difficulty is not ordinarily easy!

Before, he thought that his grandfather hadn't graduated from elementary school according to his division, but now it seems that he really looks down on it.

"Yuan Ding is still young, and his studies are not solid, but it is good to take the test a few more times, and it will be easy to take the test again after gaining experience!" Speaking of his nephew, Xia Shouren kindly reminded.

"What the eldest brother said is that in the future, I will ask you more people!" Xia Shouzhi was humbly taught.

"With my father here, why do you need me, but there are two books, you can take them with you when you go back, which can be regarded as a gift from me to Yuan Ding to go to school!" Xia Shouren said with a smile.

"Big brother, this can't be done, how can you give away books casually!"

"It's not in the way, I can't use this book, and I don't need Yuanzhi, it's just right for Yuanding!" Xia Shouren's words relieved Xia Shouzhi's doubts and made him feel at ease to accept them.

"Yuan Ding, don't thank you uncle soon!" Xia Shouzhi urged his son and said.

"Thank you, uncle, will I be able to take the children's exam next year?" Xia Yuanding thanked him and asked about his exam.

"Don't underestimate the difficulty of this child's exam, Uncle still suggests that you wait a few years before going, next year will be a bit rushed!" Xia Shouren reminded.

At this point, Xia Yuanding also understood that the uncle was worried that he would not understand the scriptures, and it would be a waste of time and energy to go. But Xia Yuanding felt that time was short, he couldn't wait for so many years, he couldn't catch up this year, and he had to prepare well next year, which was a good opportunity to travel.

As for being admitted, Xia Yuanding doesn't have much hope for himself, because now he is also learning from scratch, although the starting point is higher than others, but after all, he will not be tested for poetry, otherwise he will write a famous article silently, and he will not win the championship in one fell swoop.

It feels like everything is aimed at him, and he always encounters something that he is difficult to solve, and it is not easy to be easy.

But the uncle's words also make sense, a six-year-old child went to take the county exam, what a terrifying existence, when he was six years old, other children were still literate. It's really passed, that's not a miracle power. It's not like I'm worried about being dissected here, because in the long history, there haven't been a few supernatural powers.

When reading history books in the past, Xia Yuanding used to be suspicious of certain people because they were beyond common sense.

Before leaving, Xia Yuanding followed him to the uncle's study and got two books presented by the uncle, the books are ordinary scriptures, and the precious ones are the notes that the uncle worked hard to write, which are all painstaking efforts, Xia Yuanding praised the uncle in his heart. In the past, his image of the uncle was only on paper, but he didn't expect to come to the uncle's house, but his impression of the uncle immediately improved.

After taking the book, Xia Yuanding and his father went home, and the stomach that was waiting to be fed needed food comfort, this trip was also a small gain, Xia Yuanding couldn't think of how his father could think of taking him, he couldn't speculate with malice, it could only be attributed to the fact that everything was just a coincidence.

Back to the old issue of worshipping ancestors, this time it was determined that Xia Shouren would not go, Xia Shouzhi went back, but he didn't know that Xia Jizu would go back with a few sons, anyway, Xia Shouzhi went back every year, because he was free at this time of year, and his brothers were not like this.

However, due to the limited conditions, everyone can't go, otherwise there will be only women and minor children left in the family, and who should they turn to if there is something.

I haven't eaten eggs for many days, and I don't know if there will be an egg to eat when the Qingming Festival arrives. Whether "painting eggs" is popular here or not, Xia Yuanding misses the fact that he used to "touch eggs" with other children when he was a child.

"Red dyed peach blossoms and snow pressed pears, when the delicate chicken wins. This year is not a bright and cold food, and there is a different period for the secret swing. ”

Finally, when it was almost time for Qingming, Xia Yuanding got a mixed news, his action of "touching eggs" was about to come to naught, and Xia Jizu decided to take him to worship his ancestors.

The reason was high-sounding, saying that he had never been to the ancestral tomb and should take him to see it. That being the case, why didn't Yuan De and Yuan Chu's cousins, who had also never been there, bring it, was it just that the car was too small.

There is a Lingquan Mountain in the north of Sanhe County, the ancestral tomb of their Xia family is on this mountain, this is calculated by the Taoist priest, buried here, there will be a rich and noble descendants, so many generations, there has not been a trace, some things are still people will win the day!
