The vibration in the court did not affect the examination, which was carried out normally.

Three days before the exam, Mrs. Gu went to Lingshan Temple to ask the Bodhisattva to bless Fu Jing Ene High School. Then, he lived in the mountains.

It was also Qingshu who said that he would prepare something for Fu Jingene to eat, otherwise he would have to take Qingshu to worship the Bodhisattva together.

The day before the exam, Qingshu and Fu Jingene said: "Don't think about it, you will definitely be able to pass the exam at your level." As long as you pass the exam, you don't care about the ranking. ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "The ranking is still very important, it will not be good if you fall into the top three." ”

Generally speaking, the imperial examination is to take the top three, the first is the top three, that is, the well-known champion list eye tanhua, the fame of these three people is commonly known as 'Jinshi and first'; the second class is generally from the fourth to the hundredth, generally given by the imperial court 'Jinshi origin'; the third class is generally ranked after the hundredth, and is given by the imperial court 'Tongjinshi origin'.

Scholars naturally hope that they can enter the first grade, and if not, the second grade is not bad. As for the top three, not to mention being looked down upon by the top two, the prospects for career are not as good as the first two.

Qingshu smiled and said, "No, I will definitely be able to enter the second class." ”

Fu Jingene said: "Just let Aunt Xiang prepare the food, don't do it, it's too hard." ”

Qingshu didn't agree, and said, "No matter how hard it is, it's just these three times." Now that the weather is hot, I'll prepare some more dry noodles for you, and you can boil them and eat them with meat sauce. ”

Having said that, Qingshu still prepared rice balls for Fu Jingene for three meals, as well as easy-to-preserve flatbread and dry noodles, as well as mint tea and herbs.

There are many mosquitoes in May, so this herb is essential.

The herbs prepared by Qingshu were specially configured by Dr. Huang, and as long as they were worn on their bodies, they did not dare to get close.

Everything had to be checked when I went in for the exam, but the herbs were finely chopped up and looked over.

After entering the Gongyuan and finding his own examination shed, Fu Jingene took cotton yarn and wrapped these medicinal materials into three small packets and put them close to his body. Then I also went to fetch water, boiled water again and again, and scrubbed the inside and outside of the examination room.

After the water boiled, Fu Jingene took a bite of the poked rice ball and drank a sip of boiling water.

After eating and drinking enough, he leaned against the plank and closed his eyes to take a nap, and he did not open his eyes until the examiner came.

The general examination is the same as the township examination, and the main test is four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and policy questions. I also take these tests now, but I have added many things such as the law of arithmetic.

When he got the exam questions, Fu Jingene quickly skimmed through them, and then began to answer the questions.

Qingshu was about to go into the house to read after breakfast, when she heard Chen's mother reply that Feng Xiaoyu was here.

"Why did you come here so early?"

Feng Xiaoyu took her arm and said, "Fu Jingene is going to take the exam, you must be restless now, I'll come over and talk to you with you." ”

Qingshu pursed his lips and smiled: "I think, it's not me who is restless, it's you!" ”

Looking at her smiling and groaning, Feng Xiaoyu asked a little puzzled, "Are you really not worried?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's useless to worry?" He is not me about the exam, and he has solid knowledge, and Mr. Yan also said that this time it should be no problem. ”

"But no one can guarantee the exam!"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Even if there is a case, I can't control it?" If you really fail the exam, then wait three years to take the exam. Anyway, Jing Ene is only twenty years old this year, and it is not too old to wait for another three years for the exam. ”

Feng Xiaoyu saw that she was sincere: "I've never seen you so broad-hearted." ”

"It's not the heart, it's the truth."

Feng Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile and said, "I know it's the truth. It's one thing to know, it's another thing to worry, you're so calm. If you let Fu Jingene see it, maybe you will think that you don't care about him! ”

"And what about you, you didn't sleep all night last night?"

Feng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I'm worried, worried that he will fall off the list." ”

"I think you're just idle, come, come with me to practice calligraphy."

Feng Xiaoyu didn't shirk this time, and obediently followed Qingshu to the study to practice calligraphy.

After practicing for half an hour, Feng Xiaoyu's mood had calmed down.

The two went for a walk in the back garden. The back garden of Yude Lane is not very big and you can see the end at a glance, but it is early summer, and there are still a lot of flowers in the garden.

Feng Xiaoyu looked at these words and said with a smile: "Do you know that the house in Goldfish Hutong has been transformed into a vegetable garden by them?" ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes, Jing Ene told me, but how do you know." ”

Feng Xiaoyu laughed: "It was Guan Zhenqi who wrote to tell me, and I was so happy at that time." This Fu Jingene is used by talents, and he actually changed the garden into a vegetable garden. ”

Qing Shu felt that there was nothing funny, and said: "The house has been vacant for many years, and the flowers and trees in the garden have long since died. The porter looked at it but felt desolate, so it was time to plant vegetables. ”

"If you feel desolate, transplant flowers and trees! Precious flowers and plants are not easy to raise, but ordinary flowers and plants can grow well as long as they are sown and watered. ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "You can't eat flowers and plants, but you can eat vegetables!" And it's planted in the back garden, so you can pick it and eat it directly, how convenient. ”

"Just go to the market and buy it."

Qingshu shook his head and said softly: "It costs money to buy it, and you don't have to spend money to grow it yourself." ”

Feng Xiaoyu said disapprehantly: "How much money can it cost?" ”

"That's a lot. Jing Ene has six servants and a child by his side, and he gets two or three taels of silver for food every month. Now that I grow my own vegetable crops, I only need to buy meat and vegetables, which saves a lot. ”

"How much money can you have? One meal is enough for them to buy vegetables for a year. ”

Qing Shu said unceremoniously: "You are like this, you are quite similar to the emperor in history who 'why not eat minced meat'. Twenty or thirty taels of silver is not a lot for you, but for many people, it is remarkable to be able to save so much silver in a year. ”

Looking at her straight face, Feng Xiaoyu burst out laughing: "Qingshu, in fact, I think it's a pity that you don't become a teacher." ”

Seeing Qingshu looking at her, Feng Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "Really, Qingshu, I'm not laughing at you." I really think you're a good fit to be a teacher. You see, how irritable Yi An was at the beginning! If you don't agree with each other, she will beat someone, and many people can't take a detour when they see her. but you have been submissive. Not only that, but she has also become milder under your influence. Qingshu, it's all your credit. ”

"I'm not interested in teaching."

Feng Xiaoyu was a little pity: "If you become a gentleman, my child can be handed over to you in the future." ”

Qingshu scolded with a smile: "You haven't even married and considered the child, are you ashamed!" ”

Feng Xiaoyu said confidently: "What are you ashamed of! Some of them got married early, and their children were two or three years old. ”
