The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 242 Darkness
Sanmao and Simao characters are better, so I am responsible for writing Spring Festival couplets.

It's much simpler to write the word "Fu" well, and at any rate, I went to the academy to learn it from my master.

Fang Qingqing also prepared all the required red paper, which happened to be bought at a special price in the system mall, and one point bought a big pack.

"The time to test you has come, you have also studied in the academy for a long time, but you are not yet ready to take the imperial examination.

However, it is always possible to write Spring Festival couplets, right?
Sanmao Simao is mainly responsible for this matter, mother, let me teach you how to cut paper.

Don't worry, when these Spring Festival couplets are written, I promise to earn back their meal money. "Fang Qingqing said with a smile.

It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish, which is what Fang Qingqing wants to teach them.

If you want to live well in this world, you don't have to study and take the imperial examination.

Every three years, there are so many scholars who take part in Qiuwei and Chunwei. Every time, there are tens of thousands of people from all over the country to take the exam, and there may be only one or two hundred or two or three hundred people who can get in the end.

Among these people, it is unknown how many people can really become officials and be reused by the emperor.

The point is that not every official is a good official who knows how to seek benefits for ordinary people.

There is no harm in ordinary people reading more, at least reading can make them understand more knowledge and do more things.

It's not convenient for Fang Qingqing to say this sentence directly to the old Li's family, but it's okay to tell them the truth.

The children of the Li family are of course willing to do jobs that can make money.

Although half of the money earned needs to be handed over to the public, at least I can keep some of it, which is also needed for socializing with friends and buying pens and ink on weekdays.

At present, only three or four Maos are studying in the family, and there are quite a lot of bundle repairs that need to be paid every year.

They can't do anything about it, but anyway, it's better if they can earn what they usually spend.

All four of the children were recruited all of a sudden, and even Shi's little sister Li also helped.

There was a brazier in the room, but it was warm, and a few people were talking and laughing while doing things.

It was not difficult to pass the time, even the old man Li's eyes became warm when he saw it, and he clumsily imitated Shi's appearance and cut out large sheets of red paper according to the specifications given by Fang Qingqing.

The person in charge took the lead, so the whole family got into action.

As a result, old man Li discovered that this person is really different from person to person, and he is a good hand at working in the fields.

And because the carpentry work is good, the old man Li also does a good job in paper cutting. Needless to say, Li's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are all used to manual work.

Even Li Dalang is okay, but it turned out that Li Erlang, who often goes out for running on weekdays, is not good at doing this?
He couldn't write well, and the cut paper almost broke, Li Erlang was very discouraged.

When Fang Qingqing came back, she ran to ask her what she could do.

If I couldn't do the fine work, I went to do odd jobs. Fang Qingqing asked Li Erlang to spread out the couplets written by the children to dry the ink and then put them together neatly.

And put them away according to the size. After Fang Qingqing told them what to do in the morning, she went to the pharmacy.

Then in the afternoon, after several hours of effort, I wrote nearly [-] pages very well.

It is actually very tiring to write with the pen hanging on the wrist all the time. It is mainly because of the effort, and finally the third aunt said that today I can take a rest for a while.

The children were so tired that they almost collapsed on the kang.

At this moment, even though Mrs. Li has been working in the kitchen for a long time and cooked a large table of delicious food, she doesn't want to move.

Even when copying books before, I never kept writing and writing for so long.

Si Mao, who was more lively, couldn't help complaining: "Aunt San, you are too strict, and you are simply oppressing us."

Writing couplets is not fun at all, it is very boring.

It's snowing heavily outside, and their academy is obviously a holiday for the children to play, why is the third aunt so cruel?
"It's for your own good."

"For our own good?" Si Mao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's right, you all have to take the imperial examination in the future. You don't have to copy books and you have to copy a lot in the past few years. So from now on, what's wrong with writing couplets?"

Fang Qingqing told them again: "During the imperial examination, it is very important to write neatly and neatly on the paper. Your handwriting is good, and you are superior to other people. When the examiner marks your paper, the first impression will naturally be given to you. points."

For example, Li Xiuping used to read and write when he was free at home.

Li old man Shi can prove this point.

Shi also told the children: "Third Uncle always locks himself in his room to study every time he is on vacation. For several years, he never went out to play."

Of course, the more important reason is that he is not in good health, and it would be wild not to be in the village with other children.

There is no need to tell a few children about this point.

"Reading and writing are very boring, and if you write too much, your hands will be sore and tiring.

However, what to do is not tiring and boring?

If you are going to take an exam in the future, you will have to write a lot of words every time, and you will first write it on the manuscript paper and then copy it to the paper.

If you write slowly and don't have enough time, you will regret it afterwards. "

He was educated by the third aunt with earnestness and earnestness, and was threatened by his grandparents.

Three Maos and Four Maos suddenly felt that the sky was dark. In fact, it would be nice not to have a holiday. They would rather go back to the academy to continue studying!
In fact, they were just babbling, and a table of delicious food immediately comforted everyone.

The snow has finally stopped, but there is still a lot of snow outside. The road is fine, and there are not many people walking in the alley.

The food this morning was very good. Early in the morning, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Li prepared corn pancakes and millet porridge for the family.

After eating and drinking well, a few brats went to the yard to have a snowball fight, and even Li Xiaomei looked cheerfully on the sidelines.

Old man Li Shi was even more happy. The third child was not in such good health before, and he never dared to go out in heavy snow.

The grandchildren are serious about reading and doing things, and it's good to have fun occasionally.

Now that everyone ate and drank well and even had fun, everyone has their own things to do, which are all assigned by Fang Qingqing.

Anyway, it is a fact that there are scholars in Lao Li's family, and the neighbors also know that the champion of the new subject is from their family.

So this gimmick can be used, and some of the written Spring Festival couplets can be sold directly near here.

For the most part, Fang Qingqing is certainly not so stupid.

There are many cultural people in the capital, and there are also many business people outside. It is simply a dream to make money by selling Spring Festival couplets before the New Year in the capital.

Fang Qingqing was interested in rural but not so remote places outside the outskirts of the capital city. She had inquired about them before, and Li Erlang was in charge of purchasing them in the cookbook.

He is more familiar with this place, so he took his family out of the city and planned to get rid of all the five hundred Spring Festival couplets today.
