In the following days, as long as there is time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will sit under the window of the west wing, Ah Xiu carefully embroidered the handkerchief, and Chang learned the stitching she taught little by little.

Women in this era can embroider a few flowers, and the basic work will be when she is a girl, Ah Xiu has demonstrated it to Chang a few times, and the overall situation is quite smooth, and Chang quickly mastered the essentials.

Of course, this is also related to the teaching of Ah Xiu, at the beginning she went from simple to complex, teaching the simplest set of needles and styles.

In this way, the lights on this side of the West Chamber will be lit up until late every day, but fortunately, now that the family is divided, the oil is bought by themselves, otherwise the Hong family will definitely make a fuss every day.

At this time in Hekou Town, Song Ercai's work was idle, and he would go out to see if there was a good location when he had time, and inquire about the shop.

On this day, Song Ercai came back from the street and saw Song Hong coming over, standing at the door of the pharmacy waiting for him.

"Second uncle."

Song Hong greeted Song Ercai from afar.

Song Ercai nodded, looked at his neat and tidy student shirt, and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I've used it in the cafeteria."

Song Hong said, taking out a rolled question paper from his sleeve.

"Recently, Mr. talked about the trial post, let us do a few articles, and ask the second uncle to help me see it first."

Song Hong handed over the paper scroll, Song Ercai had promised him before that he would help read the article, and he didn't refuse at this time, so he reached out and took it.

"Mr. in the school, even Ding Ban is a talented person with a small reputation, I can help you see it first, but if you have the opportunity, you should ask the master more."

A master is in charge of more than a dozen students, Song Ercai naturally knows that it is impossible to take care of them all, but he is just a child, and he also walked out of the town school hall at the beginning, to teach and educate people, he is also afraid that his knowledge level is not enough.

"Second uncle, I know."

Song Hong smiled faintly, and saw that Song Ercai had already taken it apart, so he said, "There is still class in the afternoon, so I'll leave first, and the second uncle will help me explain tomorrow." ”

Song Ercai nodded, watching Song Hong leave, but his brows gradually wrinkled.

He had already glanced at the trial post in his hand just now, and he hadn't changed it, and he was still as casual and exaggerated as before.

In the afternoon, Song Ercai didn't go out, turned out his dilapidated books, and corrected and annotated Song Hong's trial posts.

At noon the next day, Song Hong arrived as scheduled.

There was no one in the pharmacy in the town, so Song Ercai found a place in the hall and told his opinion.

Song Hong's several articles cover a wide range of topics and are very long, and by the time Song Er finished speaking, it had been almost half an hour.

"Brother Hong, I know you work hard, but there is a sentence that the second uncle has to remind you that you must first understand the meaning of the topic when making a test post. With your current knowledge, it's too hard to do Bayan rhyme, it's not who has more words can be outstanding, the important thing is to infiltrate the theory in the book.

Take this post as an example, you didn't even understand the title, and no matter how much you write the following verses, it's in vain. And your words are not subtle and solemn enough, blindly pursuing rhyme, and the meaning expressed in the text is too straightforward and superficial, in my opinion, your trial posts are unqualified. ”

It's not the first time Song Ercai has mentioned something similar, but this time he said it more bluntly.

Song Hong is a very face-saving person, and her face turned red unconsciously.

"Second uncle, Hong'er knows."

Song Hong stood up and bowed to Song Ercai gratefully.

Song Ercai nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second Uncle also hopes that you can make some progress, go back and take a good look at those comments, and work hard to get good results next time." ”

"Yes."

Song Hong hurried away with the question paper, hanging his head all the way, afraid that passers-by would see his embarrassment.

Although he didn't know any of those people, he cared about vanity, even if it was an unfamiliar look.

Before entering the door of the school hall, Song Hong's face recovered a little, and he didn't want three people to come behind him, and one of them even hugged his shoulder.

"Brother Song, where did you come from? You won't go to a drink anywhere behind our brothers' backs. ”

The three of them were students who lived in the same house as Song Hong, and when they first came to the meeting, Song Hong invited them to have two drinks, and the relationship was good.

The name of the speaker is Jiang Boyuan, who came from the next town to study, and his family is a wealthy squire, and it is rumored that there are shops in the town and the city, and he often eats and drinks outside.

Jiang Boyuan is one year younger than Song Hong, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his face is whiter than that of a girl, a rare handsome person.

Song Hong smelled alcohol from him, and it was obvious that this person had just been drinking outside.

"I went to the pharmacy to help. Are you coming back from eating out? ”

Song Hong looked back at the other two, and heard them laugh and say that they were invited by Brother Jiang.

Song Hong sighed in her heart that it was a pity, but the exam was imminent, and there was no way to do it.

The four of them entered the school, Song Hong came out to make a fake note to Zhaifu, and the other three were empty-handed, but they stuffed a few coins into the porter when they went out before.

The school is semi-closed, except for the students who have run day schools, others only have the opportunity to go out twice a month, and it is obvious that they are all used up.

Back at the house, the others fell asleep while they still had some time.

Song Hong sat on his bed and secretly took out the first test post to read.

In fact, the previous master's request was to write only one, but he gave Song Ercai six articles, and Song Ercai wrote two of these six articles for him alone, as well as many example sentences and explanations.

Song Hong read silently over and over again, remembering those sentences in her heart.

In a few days, if he can draw one of the questions, his results will not be bad, and if he can draw something related to the example, it will be even better.

Not long after coming here, Song Hong didn't learn much, but he had a rough idea of the master's preferences and the rules of the questions. Others are picking key points and reviewing more, but he uses other means.

There will be three days off after the high school entrance examination, and Song Hong unexpectedly took the first exam.

The moment he got the exam paper, he felt that the humiliation he had suffered before was worth it.

He happily packed up his things and prepared to go back, and before leaving, Zhang Shou, who had made a bet with him, invited him to drink a small meal of wine, and the four people in the house went to the tavern to sit again before they dispersed.

It wasn't until dark that Song Hong entered the village humming an unknown song.

Zhou knew that her son was on vacation today, so she was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early, and she was thinking about whether to go out to find someone, when she saw Song Hong, who was wearing a student shirt, appear at the entrance of the village.

"It's finally back."

Zhou's eyebrows smiled, and when he turned around, he shouted to the courtyard: "Mother, Brother Hong is back, let's go down." ”

The noodles in the stove room have already been rolled, just waiting for Song Hong's return.

Although the family has divided the family, but the food has not been divided, in the past, Song Er came back and could eat meat and fine grain, but now it is replaced by Song Hong.

Hong answered in the hall, and then ordered Wang to fry an egg for Song Hong.
