Xu Darong replied, "That's natural, knowing that my father has always had high hopes for me, I read a book alone every night until midnight, and I don't dare to relax and develop good habits." This is a man, the first thing is to be self-disciplined, there is no big man in ancient times who does not endure hardships, and there are no hardships, I naturally understand these truths, Dad, you can rest assured. It is fateful to be able to pass the exam, but it is a matter of my attitude not to relax my study, and my attitude must not be relaxed. ”

If Yao listens to these words, he can smack his face!

Every night in the room of the girl, I do such shameless fish and water things, and I also read and study......

Bullshit!

Xu Youde nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Darong said again, "Dad, do you think our family's luck has come?" What to do is smooth, you can make money by opening a winery, feeding pigs and pigs are fat, taking the children's exam, you can be admitted to the two of them in one exam, this is the family luck avenue, this time the test Xiucai, our family may be able to produce two! When the time comes, you will sit and wait for someone to congratulate you every day, if not, the lord of the town yamen will invite you to drink tea and make friends. ”

Xu Youde thought about this kind of scene for a while, and wanted to have a more serious expression on his face, which made him seem less reserved, and he couldn't do it.

The eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, "Da Lang, is this sure?" ”

Xu Darong lowered his voice and said, "Dad, Da Lang has almost prepared for the exam, but this kind of thing, you also know, this year's examiner has a different style, he likes to come up with this type of exam questions, and next year he will change the examiner, the style is different, and he will change another type of exam question, which makes it difficult for students to bet on the questions, and no one dares to say that they are 100% sure." ”

Xu Youde's smile froze, "That's ...... Who are this year's examiners? Do you have eyebrows? ”

Xu Darong replied, "Dad, you are still knowledgeable, and you get to the point of the problem as soon as you say it." It stands to reason that before the exam, who the examiner is and what identity and background are kept secret, saving students from studying the type of questions he likes. However, our family's luck this year is too good to say! Da Lang has a classmate who has inside information, which came from the provincial capital, saying that he secretly inquired about who this year's examiner is, so there are people who know the examiner very well, and they began to bet on the question, not to say that the topic is very accurate, it is estimated that there can be seven or eight points accurate, if you get these questions, Xiucai's position will be stable! ”

……

Here, Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Zhang's were cooking in the kitchen, and Xu Zhang's had already slaughtered the fat rabbit and skinned the blood of his hand.

Xu Jiaojiao's ears moved, "Mother, the eldest brother seems to be talking to his father about something private, should we go over and listen?" ”

Her hearing is good, and she has been paying attention to the movement in the upper room, what Xu Darong and Xu Youde said, she can hear it clearly, and even Liao Qing can hear what they are talking about scientific research in the backyard study.

When Xu Zhangshi heard Xu Jiaojiao say this, he immediately put the rabbit skin in his hand, and the blood on his hands was not washed, but he just rubbed his apron and walked away, "Go and see, what do you want to fool your father?" The boss is not a year, and when he comes home every year, I think there is nothing good to do. ”

Xu Jiaojiao also hurriedly followed.

……

Upper room in the hall.

Xu Youde was a little moved by Xu Darong's words, "Then how did this bet come about?" Have you inquired? ”

Xu Darong said in a low voice, "Inquire well, Da Lang's classmate has a way, you can get a question, but this is a secret thing, many people want to do it, it's not easy, even if there is a way, you have to make the silver in the middle to make a dot, many people are the same sharpened head to inquire everywhere, but this topic, will not be easy for people to hear, there are many leaks, will be investigated and punished, it must only be a small amount of provision, it depends on whose live pan silver is more......"

Xu Youde understood what Xu Darong meant, "How much silver does it cost?" ”

"Our Da Lang is his classmate's bus, the two of them partnered up to buy a bet, one only used half of the door to pay a fee, said that it was two hundred taels per person, but Da Lang's classmate knew that I was just a poor and sour talent, not much silver taels, he took care of Da Lang, he gave more than half, only let Da Lang pay one hundred and fifty taels to become a ......"

As soon as the number of one hundred and fifty taels came out, I saw that Xu Youde's eyebrows were twisted together, and Xu Darong said again, "Dad, as soon as I heard that I wanted so much, my first reaction was to refuse, so much silver was admitted to Xiucai, if I become a teacher like me in the future, how many teenagers will have to earn it back?" Our family's background is not thick, where to get so much silver, but Dalang and her mother said that the child's examination is the beginning of fame, and it is the beginning of hope.

Of course, the most important thing is to win glory for our old Xu family, if our old Xu family has another show, it will be a two-show talent, no, one and three shows, Da Lang has won the question, and he will definitely share a share of the Liao Qing brothers, the Liao Qing brothers are on the ancestral tree of our family, and they are also the people of our old Xu family.

One hundred and fifty taels, I and Da Lang and her mother smashed pots and sold iron at home, and when some clothes and furniture were dropped, you could make up fifty taels for free, but the remaining one hundred taels were not settled, so I came back to discuss with my father, and you were the master of this matter, ...... father."

As soon as Xu Darong's words fell, he saw Xu Zhang's hands rushing in with blood.

"Whew! Boss of Dog Day, I said why did you come home for no reason, and specially congratulated Liao Qing and Xiaosi on being admitted to Tongsheng? Phew! I want to come back to make money again! Break us all away, fool your father here, it's a hundred taels as soon as you open your mouth, you have the ability to rob it! People are admitted to Xiucai based on their ability, you fooled your father and spent money to buy Xiucai, what about your face? ”

Xu Darong finally avoided everyone and talked to Xu Youde, but as a result, Xu Zhang's suddenly broke in.

He knew that if Xu Zhang's knew about this matter, Xu Zhang's would be the first to disagree and break it, so he had to talk to Xu Youde first, and persuade Xu Youde before he could discuss this matter publicly, otherwise, he would have no other consequences except being sprayed by Xu Zhang's family.

Obviously he had already lowered his voice, but he was still discovered.

I could only bite the bullet and explain, "Mother, it's not what you said, it's that the imperial examination questions are endlessly varied, once a son of heaven and a courtier, an examiner and a style, no matter how hard the students study, no matter how solid they are, most of them are in vain." In ancient times, the candidates who took the test for fame would bet on the question before preparing for the exam, and the question was a legitimate act, that is, before Liao Qing and Xiao Si'er took the exam, did the master also help them bet on the question? In your mouth, it becomes unbearable, and it becomes a showman, where is it so serious? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, how many students' hearts will be chilled! ”
