The long-troubled grain processing problem was successfully solved, and the state exam was about to start.

Under the supervision of his wife, Zhu Chengjun experienced the bitterness of ancient scholars this time.

With the personal experience of these three days, Zhu Chengjun has to admit that the students who can be named on the gold list are absolutely ruthless.

Even if a modern person who has experienced three years of hell in high school almost lost in these three days, it may be because he has been slacking off for too long. Ten years of cold window? Hehe...... If you really want to play like this, buddy will definitely die young. Now it seems that the ancients liked to call scholars weak, and most of them were overdrawn by the ten-year cold window.

For three days in a row, he was immersed in the obscure ancient scriptures of the sea, and Zhu Chengjun actually missed the three years of brushing the questions.

Others study so hard to have a clear and only goal, to gain fame and fame, and to step into the official career, but to look at themselves, just to be able to infiltrate the business into the upper class. Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but think that if the Southern Song Dynasty could not perish in his lifetime, he would simply take the road of the imperial examination like the ancient students, because it is really good to be an official, especially a civil official in the Song Dynasty.

Approaching dusk, the clouds covered the sun, and the remnant sun dyed the west mountain.

The sky is about to become dim, the gloomy glow is sprinkled, and the entire Zhu family mansion is shrouded in the sunset.

Zhu Chengjun walked out of the study and came to the courtyard, rubbed his stagnant eyes, and then collapsed weakly on the chaise longue.

In a trance, I felt that there were two pairs of cool and soft little hands to gently soothe my tired body, and under the gentle service of the beautiful woman, the fatigue instantly went to the small half, Zhu Chengjun opened his eyes and saw two pairs of wonderful eyes with a look of concern.

"Husband, are you tired these days?" Lan'er's gentle and sweet voice sounded in her ears.

"Sister Rui is really...... forced the husband so hard. Luan'er was distressed when she saw Ai Lang with a tired face.

Zhu Chengjun opened his arms and hugged Lan'er and Luan'er into his arms, and said apologetically: "I have snubbed you in the past few days. ”

The two jade faces buried in Zhu Chengjun's arms turned red instantly, and they looked even more delicate against the sunset, but the two hearts were full of warmth and happiness. As a concubine, a woman from a non-good family can still be treated and favored by her husband, and if Langjun is like this, presumably other women will only be envious.

Lan'er and Luan'er looked at the sunset, and their hearts rose with infinite longing for a better future.

"It's not early, it's time for the concubine to serve her husband and bathe." Luan'er whispered timidly.

"Squint a little longer......"

Holding the soft and fragrant jade man, Zhu Chengjun actually had a trace of greed in his heart.

"Ahem......"

Rui Jinxuan's sudden appearance woke up several mandarin ducks who were leaning on each other in the courtyard.

Lan'er and Luan'er hurriedly broke free from Zhu Chengjun's embrace, dodged and retreated to the side with their heads lowered, their faces were like red glow, and there was a faint fear in their eyes.

Rui Jinxuan glared at Lan'er and Luan'er, her pretty face was slightly stunned, "Husband is so tired, you are still entangled." ”

Lan'er and Luan'er said in their hearts: My husband is so tired, it's not because of you.

The second daughter knew that Rui Jinxuan did this for the good of her husband, even if she was misunderstood, she didn't feel wronged in her heart.

Zhu Chengjun stretched his waist, looked at Rui Jinxuan, and said, "It's not early, let's order someone to pass the meal." ”

"It's not time to eat yet." Then, Rui Jinxuan turned her eyes to look at Lan'er and Luan'er, and ordered: "You serve your husband to bathe and change clothes first, and I will watch from the sidelines, and you will never be allowed to come here tonight." ”

After listening to Rui Jinxuan's words, Zhu Chengjun almost ran away, what is this called. In order to prepare for the exam, we haven't been close to women for three days, and now we are tired, who still has the heart to think about that aspect of things, do you need to guard against it like this.

"Is this necessary?" Zhu Chengjun smiled bitterly.

Rui Jinxuan rolled her eyes and said in her heart: I care about you and for your good, don't be ignorant.

"It is necessary! In case you ......" The latter words were really a little difficult to say, Rui Jinxuan hurriedly changed her words, "The exam will start tomorrow, what you need to do now is to recharge your energy and take care of your spirit." ”

"Good...... Yes, sir. Zhu Chengjun didn't have a straight shape, his eyes roamed up and down Rui Jinxuan's body, and he smiled evilly, "Lan'er and Luan'er are tired enough to manage the affairs of the mansion, or ...... I'm sorry you to wait for me to bathe ......."

"You...... Do it yourself. Rui Jinxuan saw that Zhu Chengjun seemed to be beating her own idea, and Fang Xin was ashamed.

"Don't ...... I'm lazy, I can't have no one to wait. Rui Jinxuan still couldn't help but tease, Zhu Chengjun had no choice but to give up.

"Poof......" The second daughter who secretly watched the two stumble couldn't help laughing.

The discord between the owner and the hostess of this house has long been known to everyone, and the two of them will soon become-for-tat without saying a few words together.

The 'husband and wife' stumbled, but Rui Jinxuan did not fall behind at all in the supervision duties that should be performed.

During the bath, Rui Jinxuan was present, Zhu Chengjun was not good at Lan'er and Luan'er, and it was rare to be honest in the face of beauty.

"Are you all alright?" Through the screen, Rui Jinxuan seemed to see that the person was already changing clothes, and after a long time, no one came out, and Rui Jinxuan couldn't wait to go in and pull the person out.

"Alright." Zhu Chengjun responded impatiently.

Rui Jinxuan still waited, and only then did she let down her guard when she saw Zhu Chengjun dressed neatly and walked out.

After bathing, the exhaustion was gone, and Zhu Chengjun felt that his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength. can be seen dead by Rui Jinxuan, the mandarin duck bath that she often enjoyed in the past did not succeed, and it tickled people's hearts unbearably.

When he came to the dining room, Zhu Chengjun saw that the main hall and the side hall were lined with dishes, and wondered: "There are guests?" ”

Rui Jinxuan didn't reply, turned to look at Lan'er and Luan'er, and ordered: "I've wronged the two sisters, please go to the side hall for dinner." After eating, the two younger sisters will rest early, and tomorrow they will get up early, and my husband will leave it to me to serve. ”

Concubines are not allowed to serve at the table, this is the rule.

Zhu Chengjun saw that Rui Jinxuan didn't even give himself a chance to give him a look, and when he saw her stubborn insistence, he complied with her.

After dinner, Zhu Chengjun accompanied Rui Jinxuan to walk in the courtyard for a while, and then the two went back to the room.

"Ding...... Ding...... "It's actually a bell!" Rui Jinxuan really took great pains to prevent herself from stealing food.

"You and I don't even have that trust?" The bell will ring non-stop at the slightest breeze, and if you want to touch the concubine's room to do that blissful thing while Rui Jinxuan is asleep, it seems impossible to succeed now.

Rui Jinxuan sighed slowly, "Someone promises well, but often gets up at night, do you really think I don't know what you're doing?" Young Master Zhu, it is you who have betrayed my trust in you again and again, in your words, 'Your credit with me is zero!' ’”

Sure enough, personal credit is overdrawn, and no one will believe the truth.

Under heavy care, Zhu Chengjun didn't want to fall out with Rui Jinxuan, so he was a gentleman that night.

The next day, Xu Xiao drove Zhu Chengjun to the Tribute Courtyard, accompanied by Rui Jinxuan, Lan'er and Luan'er.

"There are so many people!" Zhu Chengjun obviously felt that the carriage was much slower, and when he lifted the curtain of the carriage, he saw that the direction to the Gongyuan was full of students rushing to take the exam and relatives and friends who were sending the exam, and the streets were also full of ordinary people standing onlookers.

Zhu Chengjun didn't reply when he saw the three daughters, and even Rui Jinxuan, who has always loved to stumble with herself, rarely didn't refute it, which made Zhu Chengjun feel a little unaccustomed.

Rui Jinxuan lowered her head to sort out the packages and various exam vouchers, and only after confirming that they were correct did she feel a little relieved, she solemnly handed it over to Zhu Chengjun and said, "Husband, remember to put it away carefully, and don't let other candidates touch it." Then, Rui Jinxuan took out a purse containing a small half bag of broken silver, and while putting the small objects wrapped in silver foil into it, she instructed: "The husband will live in the tribute courtyard for three days, and it will cost money to eat and drink in it, and the spices wrapped in silver foil for the concubine's body will be taken out for emergency ...... when the husband can't stand it."

Rui Jinxuan frowned, lest something was missing.

"I remember everything you said, and I'll take care of myself inside." Zhu Chengjun saw that Rui Jinxuan was a little more nervous than the candidates participating in the imperial examination at the moment, Zhu Chengjun suddenly felt that his words were extremely awkward, and it sounded like his buddy was in prison, going in to squat to change evil and good.

"There are a lot of cars ahead, so you can send them here." Zhu Chengjun smiled warmly at the three daughters, and when he saw that his wife and concubine were still frowning, he made a joke, "You have to be obedient at home, don't miss me too much." ”

Feeling Zhu Chengjun's teasing full of concern, the three girls instantly stretched their brows.

When the words fell, Zhu Chengjun jumped out of the carriage, and when he turned around, he saw the third girl with tears in her eyes.

Walking into the bustling crowd, Zhu Chengjun lined up for inspection like a candidate in this era.

"The brother in front, your things have landed."

"You've just fallen first, you've tried to fall first!"

"Sorry...... Yes 'and No.'"

A kind reminder was actually treated as a donkey's liver and lungs?

In fact, it's not, 'landing', 'falling first', homonym, candidates are the most taboo about this.

Before the exam started, cursing people for 'falling down', and getting angry at you is light.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Chengjun suddenly remembered that the mothers who sent their children to take the college entrance examination seemed to be wearing cheongsam, which means 'winning the flag', and the hem should be cut a few inches up at the slit to expose the root of the thigh, which means 'high open'. Although it is absurd and funny, it is also a hope and good wishes for children.

In the vast crowd, Zhu Chengjun saw a familiar figure, stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile: "Classmate Zhu." ”

"It's you, boy." Zhu Hanmo turned around and saw that his son didn't have a proper smile, so he reprimanded him slightly.

"The child wishes his father the title of the gold list." Zhu Chengjun said with a smile.

Zhu Hanmo smiled and said, "You are participating in the scientific examination for the first time, so you don't need to be overly nervous, you should be experienced." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw that his father Zhu Hanmo was trembling when he spoke, and said in his heart: Who is nervous.

If you really want to count the previous life, we will accept large and small exams at the age of six or seven, and we will definitely be called veterans on the battlefield, and our psychological quality will be absolutely excellent, nervous? That's non-existent.

"Follow your father's teachings." Saying that, Zhu Chengjun's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "The child wants to make a bet with his father, if the father ranks behind the child in the scientific examination list this time, you have to pay me a thousand taels of silver." ”

"Wow...... Who do you look down on! As a veteran of the battlefield, how can he lose to you as a battlefield recruit? Joke! Bet on it! After Zhu Chengjun's agitation, Zhu Hanmo instantly became high-spirited.

"Today, you and my father and son high-five!"

"A gentleman is a promise, a horse is hard to chase!"

"Gentleman Yinuo!"

"Smack!" The father and son slapped each other loudly.

"Someone fainted! Fast! ”

An old examinee with gray hair fainted on the way to the queue due to excessive nervousness.

In this regard, there is only regret and sympathy in the eyes of many candidates, and they can't enter the examination room, let alone talk about carp jumping over the dragon gate.

Zhu Chengjun saw that everyone ignored it, and at this time Zhu Hanmo was being examined.

Cutting in line must be annoying, Zhu Chengjun rescued the fainting candidates, dare to love that this old boy has not eaten well in order to prepare for the exam in the past few days, low blood sugar and excessive nervousness caused by fainting, in fact, the problem is not big, it will be fine if you slow down.
