Chapter 118: The Contrast Is Too Great (Chapter 7: Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Ye Chunqiu's mind moved: "Not really, is there only a way out by reading?" Auntie, Juncai has a good physique, I have an idea, you might as well listen to it, it's better to let him learn martial arts and take a martial arts test. ”

The martial arts examination is the martial arts examination, and the martial arts examination in the Ming Dynasty was created very early, but the system has not been determined. It was not until the fourteenth year of Chenghua that according to the suggestion of the eunuch Wang Zhi, taking liberal arts as an example, Wuke Township and Huijiao were set up. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, Dingwuke tried every six years, first strategy, then bow horse, and those who failed to succeed were not allowed to try bow horses. Later, it was changed to a triennial trial. The content of the exam is mainly horse walking, bowing and archery, and strategy test.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, and military attachés and martial artists and martial artists could hardly raise their heads in front of civil officials, but this was only relative, no matter what you said, this is also an official, and he lowered his eyebrows in front of civil officials, but with an official body, it is always better than the flat-headed people, or following the father behind the back to collect rent or squatting at home to play in the mud.

The reason why Ye Chunqiu moved this idea is because although Juncai can't pass the exam, he has read so many books in ethnology, and the cultural foundation is still there, and the cultural foundation required for martial arts does not need to be too high, but most people in this era are blind, Juncai is stronger than them, in addition, it is a bow horse, Juncai usually likes to play with strength, and he has to beat people at every turn, and his physique is big, as long as he practices hard, the chance is still very great, after all, there are not many people who take the martial arts exam, because people who read books disdain to take the martial arts exam, And most of the people with strength are low-level crop men, who can't read big characters, which is the advantage of talents.

When the third aunt heard this, she was also moved, and she began to calculate in her heart, she can also be an official if she wins the martial arts, although she is a military attaché, but the waterway inspection in the county, don't look at it as just a nine-grade military attaché, nodding in front of the county order, but in the waterway inspection department, it is said that it is the same, and the ordinary squire also wants to stammer, as for the ordinary people, it is needless to say.

Ah...... She slapped her forehead, this is the Spring and Autumn Period wants to raise the talent, it is said that learning to bow the horse is not a small cost, doesn't it say that the poor are rich in martial arts, the price of a healthy horse is not expensive, it is several times the price of the general horse, and every day to use fine forage, a day's expenses are worth a few men, this bow and arrow needless to say, really to prepare for martial arts, this is not a small amount.

She hurriedly said happily: "What do you say in Chunqiu, Juncai listens to Chunqiu, you are his brother, if you really want to promote him, he dares to be lazy and mess around, and his aunt must beat him to death." ”

Ye Chunqiu was amused, because in his impression, it has always been the talented people who chased after him and beat him, but now, anyway, he is the head of the big house, and the clan power will fall into the hands of his father sooner or later, so Ye Chunqiu also wishes that the people in the family are a little promising, and they will take care of each other in the future, and it is too difficult to fight alone in this era.

"Well, when will the third uncle go to the county to see, buy a healthy horse and come back, oh, I'm afraid I will have to invite a groom, such a horse, ordinary stables can not be raised, bows and arrows have to be built, of course, you have to report to the yali in advance, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, I will repair a letter, the main book of the county and I have had a few faces, he will definitely be willing to help with this little thing." Ye Chunqiu thought for a while, and said: "No, I'm afraid that there are no good horses in the county, I always have to find a good horse, let Juncai go to Ningbo with me in a few days, I have friends in Haining Weili, please ask them to help, it's more appropriate." Someone takes care of it, and it is easy for him to take the martial arts test. ”

Ah, Spring and Autumn also have friends in Hainingwei, and the third aunt listened to it in shock, and felt more and more that Spring and Autumn was not simple, and she was busy agreeing, and she was already excited. She only has such a son, so she naturally cherishes it very much, well, although it is a scumbag.

After two days of idleness, Ye Chunqiu took Ye Juncai and set off, usually he went by himself, but this time it was different, the coachman of the Ye family drove the ox cart to send him off, the coachman Ye Hu was a little afraid of Ye Chunqiu, he followed Ye Song to act as a tiger at the beginning, fortunately, Ye Chunqiu was no different to him, and occasionally chatted with him, which made him feel at ease, in fact, he also went to Ningbo for the first time, after all, he went too far, but he had to guide the road, and this time it was different, there was Ye Chunqiu, this is the road guide of the human form, I am not afraid of the officers and soldiers along the way.

When Ye Juncai heard that he was going to practice martial arts, and when he heard that he would have to buy horses and bows and arrows for him, he was already excited, but he felt that this cousin was closer than his father, and he obeyed Ye Chunqiu's words along the way.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't communicate with him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, he usually practiced calligraphy when he was resting, he practiced sword when he got up, and he took a nap in the car.

Originally, Ye Chunqiu wanted to go to see his father in the county, but after thinking about it carefully, he still forgot it, it was rare for his father to study in the county, so he should be allowed to be alone, and it was not good for him to run away by himself, so Ye Chunqiu did not stay, and went straight to Ningbo.

As soon as he arrived in Ningbo, Ye Juncai looked at the bustle everywhere, if it weren't for Ye Chunqiu staring, he wouldn't know where to go, since he brought his cousin out, Ye Chunqiu of course had the responsibility of 'discipline', and directly pulled him to Tongjitang, but when he arrived at Tongjitang, it was a different scene.

Originally, Ye Chunqiu thought that there must be a prosperous business here, but in fact, the business of the medical hall is indeed very good, many people come and go, from the outside, the doctors inside are very busy, and the apprentices are also serving tea and water, or doing some superficial bandaging work for people, sorting drugs and boiling medicines, in short, everything is as Ye Chunqiu expected.

It's just that the women's medical hall next door is a little too 'quiet', why is there no one, could it be that there is something wrong with their own ideas? Looking at it like this, it's like ...... No customers at all?

This female medical hall is a killer for Ye Chunqiu, there is nothing unusual about opening a medical hall, but after all, the female medical hall is a new thing, and the most difficult place for the female medical hall is in the training of doctors.

But...... There was no business at all, there were no cars and horses at the door, and a few female apprentices were clearly seen taking a nap on the counter, just at this time, Qingxia came out with a bucket to splash water, she inadvertently saw Ye Chunqiu, her hand was crooked, the bucket fell to the ground, and she ate and said: "Gong...... Childe ......"

Ye Chunqiu stepped forward and infected Qingxia, who was a little flustered and surprised, with a smile: "Be careful, it's okay if the bucket falls, it's bad if people fall, and doctors don't heal themselves." ”
