Chapter 30 Examinations
Early in the morning, Feng Xue's ears rang with a gentle knock on the door, and she reached out helplessly and patted the maid who said good morning to her little brother, signaling her to hurry up.
Since eating Tai Sui, I seem to have strengthened a lot in this regard, is this the so-called "nourishing the kidneys and liver, nourishing the spleen and moisturizing the lungs, and nourishing the essence and qi"?
"Childe, it's time for us to go. The maid who pushed open the door glanced at the maid on the bed who began to help Feng Xue clean up with some envy, and then reminded her.
"Oh, got it. Feng Xue nodded, no nonsense, and waited until everything was over, he got dressed and began to wash under the service of the maid.
The aristocratic life in this era is very troublesome, because every time he goes out, he has to change his clothes again, not that he didn't change his clothes at home and when he goes out in his previous life, but the clothes in this era are really very troublesome.
It's just that because the clothes define the class to a certain extent, all the T-shirts he made were destroyed by the doorman in the name of "violating etiquette" - just kidding, if this thing is seen by outsiders, will the reputation of the Childe's Mansion be gone?
The etiquette is called summer, this is not a casual talk!
Changing into a shirt that favored a scribe's robe (although there was no definition of a scribe in those days), Feng Xue left the Gongzi's Mansion with a huge crowd and walked towards Xiakao Park, not far from the village.
Yes, parks, the kind with rockeries, lakes, woods, pavilions, the kind of places that were often used by scholars in ancient dramas to hold literary meetings.
Of course, Feng Xue can't get the kind of Suzhou garden that kind of one step at a time, or he is not qualified to do it, but under the engineering technology he promoted, it still shows a wonderful landscape that does not match the times.
In the early summer, spring ploughing has passed, and every household has gradually begun to have some leisure, and at this point in time, it is also the day that countless ordinary people in Xujiazhuang and even the entire Sheyang County are looking forward to.
Because, today, the exam.
Yes, exams.
Just like the name of the park, Feng Xue will hold an exam here at the beginning of summer every year, the test questions are divided into five subjects: basic and medical, science, engineering and agriculture, and those who pass the basic subjects can get a reward, if any of them can achieve excellence, they are eligible to become Feng Xue's disciples, enjoy quite generous treatment, there is a monthly calendar, there are allowances, including food, accommodation and distribution, for civilian families, even if it is a relatively wealthy family, it is quite attractive treatment, as long as there is a child in the family can be admitted, the living standard of the family can immediately reach the middle class, such as Zhang San, you can put a grain merchant with a painful amount, with no intention of coming back at all, to lend it out.
However, it is a pity that although this exam has been conducted five times, there are only thirteen people who have really become Feng Xue's disciples.
"Wu Zhu, why are you here?" The ox cart was moving slowly, and Feng Xue suddenly saw an ox cart heading in the same direction.
When the coachman heard Feng Xue's words, he immediately merged the ox cart with interest, so that the two cars could get close enough that they would not collide and that the nobles in the car could easily chat.
"The old man has long heard that Xujiazhuang has selected materials for the exam, and there is no free time in previous years, but this time I must come and have a look. Wu Zhu in the car saw Feng Xue, smiled and touched his beard that had turned back into black, since he ate Tai Sui, the old man has returned to his thirty or forty years old, I heard that his wife who has a bite of Tai Sui is pregnant again, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will give birth to a little son younger than his grandson.
"The children will be very happy. Feng Xue also smiled and complimented, but in his heart he understood that this was Wu Zhu repaying the favor, as soon as his old man appeared, it was basically equivalent to helping Feng Xue memorize the book, if anyone dared to embarrass Feng Xue in this regard, just wait for the next sacrifice day to be used to sacrifice to the sky!
The two ox carts were moving forward slowly, when suddenly the coachman said loudly:
"Childe/Wu Zhu! There's something strange ahead!"
The ox cart slowly stopped with the movements of the two coachmen, Feng Xue and Wu Zhu also got off the ox cart, and after more than ten meters, they saw several guards nervously blocking in front of the ox cart, and not far in front of them, a small, seemingly cute little animal, stopped in the middle of the road to see Feng Xue get out of the car, and immediately deftly passed through the guard's defense line, rushed to Feng Xue in a few steps, and then stopped steadily three meters away as if afraid of scaring Feng Xue.
"Protect Childe!"
"Protect Wu Zhu!"
Two groups of voices with different directions but the same meaning rang out one after another, and the frightened guards hurried towards this direction, as if they couldn't believe that they had been crossed so easily.
However, Wu Zhu suddenly raised his hand and said to the guards:
"Don't panic!"
This voice seemed to have some special magic power, and as soon as the words came out, those guards slowly stopped, only a few guards who followed Feng Xue and Wu Zhu were still vigilant, looking nervously at the little thing in front of them.
This thing has a white face, triangular ears, golden-red body hair, a black belly, a long big tail, and a cute appearance, which looks very cute.
Feng Xue knows this thing, or most of the post-90s generation should know it, after all, everyone has seen it in person.
Baby Raccoon ......
Well, to be exact, it should be the red panda on the face of the little raccoon.
This thing is small and cute, even children will not be afraid, the reason why it will be regarded as strange and threatening by the guards and coachmen, is because at this time, it is wearing a gauze scarf that I don't know where to find, staring at a small flower with branches on its head, and the small body figure stands up, and from a distance it will even think that it is a child in fur.
Know how to dress up, even if it's not a monster?
Since the frivolous thing, the entire Sheyang County has PTSD for monsters!
However, the little guy didn't mean to harm people at this time, but looked at Feng Xue with cute eyes, a pair of front paws that looked like bear paws were closed in front of him, bowing to Feng Xue, which looked very interesting, and people couldn't help but want to take it home and raise it.
"Wu Zhu, what's the situation?" Feng Xue frowned, and looked at Wu Zhu with some confusion, but Wu Zhu showed a kind expression and said:
"This is a nine-tailed fox who came to beg for a seal, Childe will do it himself, if you want to have a good fate, give a seal, and don't speak ill of each other if you are worried about increasing karma, let it leave. ”
When Feng Xue heard this, his face was a little strange, he knew that there were legends about animals such as yellow skins and foxes, but when would this red panda also come out?
Wait, Wu Zhu seems to be talking about a nine-tailed fox?
I don't read much, don't lie to me! This is obviously a red panda!
......
PS1: The white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, well, look for a picture of a red panda, isn't this the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed (knot) tail? The nine-tailed fox's tail on the ancient mural is a nine-knotted one like an ear of wheat, and later it probably evolved into the current fork from the root of the tail, just like the three-headed dog of hell is just for the convenience of carving, in fact, there are fifty heads. In addition, the red panda is also known as the nine-section Niang (wolf), the fire fox, and when in danger, it will stand up straight and salute the French military, and look at it from a distance like a child in fur is waving.
ps2: The heavy mouth book can indeed reduce the impairment of the Dao heart, Feng Xue saw that Tai Sui could be reduced by this, but it was not reduced much, after all, in addition to the appearance, there are also erosion problems such as demonic energy, it is impossible to completely reduce it, and seeing it with your own eyes is different from what you see in the book after all. To put it simply, although the zombies in the book are said to stink, you can't smell them, but the stench in reality...... You get the idea.
