Carrying ex-boyfriend to farm

Chapter 359
"Miss Yun, the carriage is ready, please follow me."

"it is good."

The county magistrate's wife's nanny is an old woman in her 40s. Don't look at her age, her shrewd eyes seem to have seen Yun Xiaoxiao thoroughly at a glance.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Nanny just took a look, then lowered her head and led the way out of the mansion.

The two carriages that brought Yun Xiaoxiao were parked at the door.

And the groom changed from Yang Zhijie to a strange man, and he explained respectfully, "Miss Yun, my son drank with the elders, so he can't send you back. The younger one is Madam's groom, and now the villain will send you off." go home."

Drinking and not driving is a good habit.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn't make trouble, but nodded, "Then I will trouble you."

The groom was terrified, and hurriedly replied, "It's a small honor to be able to serve distinguished guests."

Yun Xiaoxiao was about to get into the carriage when someone shouted from beside him.

"Little!"

Looking back, it was Bai Chi.

Seemingly puzzled, he asked, "Why are you in the county?"

Bai Chi was wearing thin clothes, and his robe fluttered wildly in the cold wind, but he still smiled happily and said, "Well, I was worried about you, so I came to the county with you."

Obviously, Bai Chi was worried about letting the girl go out alone.But in order not to spoil Yun Xiaoxiao's interest during the New Year's Eve, he quietly followed up to protect him all the way.

Seeing that the person left the Yang Mansion safely, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yun Xiaoxiao didn't come out today, Bai Chi would dare to break in and ask the county magistrate for someone.

Looking up and looking around, Yun Dashan was not seen, so Yun Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Where is Dad? He probably didn't come with you."

In the past, Yun Dashan would have rushed to the county seat to guard his precious daughter.But now, with an extra woman and child in the family, the idea is different.

As if afraid that Yun Xiaoxiao would be sad, Bai Chi joked deliberately, "Father now has a wife and a son, so I don't want you as a girl anymore. How about we plot to get rid of the mother and son, so that you will be your father again?" sweetheart."

Yun Xiaoxiao was speechless, "There is an old saying that a boy should be married when he grows up, and a girl should be married when he grows up. Dad should indeed marry a wife and have children. He will not only bear the responsibility of a father, but also the responsibility of a husband. I am not a three-year-old child anymore. , how could it be possible to be jealous over such a thing."

Bai Chi nodded, "That's my opinion of a villain."

It was so cold that day, my body froze after standing for a while.

Now there are warm horse-drawn carriages to sit in, but it is impossible to walk like this, and it is impossible to ride in an ox-drawn cart.

At this point, Yun Xiaoxiao turned around, smiled slightly and asked the groom, "This is my husband, can he go back in the carriage with me?"

Everyone subconsciously called Yun Xiaoxiao Miss Yun, thinking that she was not married, and even guessed that she was the young master's favorite girl, but they didn't want her to have a husband.

In this way, the groom stared blankly at the sudden appearance of Bai Chi for a long time, and finally said belatedly, "Madam specially arranged the carriage for Miss Yun, and Miss Yun can take other people to ride with her."

"Thank you." Yun Xiaoxiao responded politely, then looked at Bai Chi and said, "Husband, get in the carriage, let's go home, Daddy must be in a hurry at home."

"Okay." Bai Chi didn't refuse. Apparently, he had been squatting in the county magistrate's mansion for a long time, his bones were frozen and he couldn't walk.Plus there is a carriage, how could he be walking.

The two stepped on the horse stool one after the other and got into the carriage.

It seems that the county magistrate's family didn't neglect Yun Xiaoxiao because of her refusal to do business with her. There is not only a lively scent in the horse, but also a scent to prevent motion sickness.

There are even a lot of things piled up inside. In addition to the snacks specially prepared by the county magistrate's wife, there are also things they need such as rice, vegetables, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

This winter will soon be over.

If you want to be admitted as a scholar, you must pass the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination three times, so that you can become a serious scholar, and then you are eligible to enter the county school or the government school.

If you just pass the county examination and government examination, you can only become a child student.

Soon this winter passed with laughter, and because Lin Keqing didn't want to delay the imperial examination in Yunda Mountain, the wedding was postponed, and everyone in the village knew about it, so there were no gossips.

After all, the wedding date is fixed.

In order to prevent Lin Keqing and Pingan from being wronged, Yun Dashan went door to door with a kitchen knife to notify them.And warn these people, whoever dares to speak ill of his daughter-in-law and son behind his back, don't blame him for cutting people with his head.

It is a great thing for Yun Dashan to leave the order.

The happiest families in the village are those with unmarried daughters.They had long been worried that Yun Dashan could not find a wife and would come to the house to snatch her.

Now a widow and an old bachelor are a perfect match.

Two days before the county test, Yun Dashan's family packed their bags and went to the county seat in a mighty way. It was inconvenient to sit in the inn, so they directly rented a house with a small courtyard.

According to the rules, the day before the exam, you have to eat the number one scholar and the first porridge.Yun Xiaoxiao doesn't know if eating it is useful or not, but it can definitely win a lot of money.

But Yun Xiaoxiao didn't know how to cook, and there was no delivery system, so she went to the restaurant in the county seat and bought five large bowls and brought them back in a pot. Obviously, she also wanted to taste what kind of delicacy this was.

Zhuangyuan and No. [-] porridge are mainly made of rice, which is boiled with pig offal and other ingredients.It tastes smooth, fragrant and delicious, with a mellow taste.

I have to say that everyone enjoyed their meal.

Before the exam, you can't stay up late. Yun Dashan and Bai Chi have to raise their spirits and prepare for the first test of the imperial examination, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to kneel in the first test.

And Yun Xiaoxiao and Lin Keqing were still preparing the things needed for the imperial examination for the two men in the family, and they had prepared some more in case there was something wrong with the pen and ink in the examination room.

Soon, it was the eighth day of February.

Yun Xiaoxiao got up early in the morning and prepared hot porridge and steamed buns, so that the two men in the family could go to the examination room with a hot meal, so that they could sleep well and eat well before taking the exam well.

It's just that the sky is not beautiful and it's raining.

It's so noisy, it's so lively.

After Yun Dashan and Bai Chi had eaten and drank enough, they picked up the basket Yun Xiaoxiao had prepared for them, took an umbrella, and went out, heading towards the examination room.

As for Yun Xiaoxiao and Lin Keqing, they went to see each other off with peace.

The heavy rain was pattering on the oil-paper umbrella, but the five of them were wearing fleece jackets, and they didn't feel cold, but the rain dripped on the clothes and felt uncomfortable.

In order to prevent cheating in the exam, candidates are not allowed to wear interlayer clothes.So there should be nothing wrong with Yun Xiaoxiao making fake animal skin clothes.

Wear thick, not shivering in the cold unintentionally admitted.

Many scholars fail the exam, not because they are not talented enough, and some of them may be because the exam is too cold, and as a result, they get sick and have to quit midway.

As the examination room approached, there were more and more people.

Some people come to the exam alone, and some people accompany them.

Most of the people who came alone were from poor families, standing alone in the corner with thin clothes, forming a landscape.Accompanied by someone who is either a family member or a servant, they are all telling the precautions during the exam or asking what the young master needs.

In this way, it is very similar to the time of the college entrance examination.

You have to be encouraged before the exam, so Yun Xiaoxiao said to Yun Dashan and Bai Chi, "Father, Bai Chi, take the exam well, don't worry about us."

"Okay." Yun Dashan and Bai Chi said in unison.

Yun Xiaoxiao worried and continued, "You two don't have any psychological burdens. We are scholars if you pass the exam. If you fail the exam, you have to work harder and farm the land to earn more money."

Bai Chi had no choice but to say, "Xiao Xiao, we haven't taken the exam yet, so you say we won't pass the exam."

Yun Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, and immediately changed her words, "I know you guys are good enough to pass the exam, so I'm not afraid to spit three times."

Bai Chi smiled, "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, I will never embarrass you, I will definitely give you a scholar exam and come back, so that you can become the envied lady of a scholar first."

Now during the exam, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't refute, fearing that it would affect Bai Chi's mood and he would fail the exam. Instead, he hummed twice along with these words, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

And at this moment, the door of the examination room opened, and a group of officers and soldiers came out from inside, driving away the surrounding spectators, and let those scholars queue up for inspection and enter the examination room in order.

Yun Xiaoxiao and Lin Keqing, who was holding the child, were stopped outside. They watched as Yun Dashan and Bai Chi followed the rules of the examination room and started queuing up to be checked.

Before entering the examination room, the identity information of the candidates must be checked, and the next step of inspection can only be carried out after verification.

During the inspection, only one pair of trousers was left, and then the whole body was checked.Check whether there is writing on the clothes on your body, and check whether there are cheat sheets hidden in your belongings.

If it wasn't for the upper body to be stripped during the examination, Yun Xiaoxiao would have thought of disguised as a man to take part in the imperial examination.It's a pity that it was just this one step, which directly made him stop thinking.

Candidates can only enter the examination room if there is no problem in the inspection.

And at this time, the chief examiner will appear, none other than the county magistrate Yun Xiaoxiao knows.Before the exam, he will explain to the candidates the various precautions for the exam.

It was Bai Chi and Yun Dashan's first exam, and they both listened very carefully.

Started the guarantee system, three people one guarantee, even sitting.If one of the three cheats, all three will be punished.And Yun Dashan, Bai Chi and a poor scholar were together.

In order to ensure the true identity of the candidates when they enter the venue, while closing the guarantee and providing proof of appearance, the Imperial Examination Academy also needs to sing the guarantee when entering the examination hall.

It is to let the guarantors stand behind the chief examiner after they are all present, and then ask the candidates to enter the venue. Every time the name of a candidate is called, the identity must be verified again.

Obviously, I am worried that candidates will take the exam.

After passing many checkpoints, Yun Dashan and Bai Chi entered the examination room.The examination room is full of very small rooms, and the left and right sides are directly separated by walls, leaving only one side unblocked.

Sitting in it, it is impossible for you to peek at other people's test papers.

Obviously, in the imperial examination, great pains were taken to prevent cheating.

The king seeks the virtuous, and he seeks the true and virtuous.

Bai Chi was lucky, the exam room he was assigned directly was in the middle, there was no rain leakage, and it faced the sun with sufficient light, so he wouldn't be able to see clearly with his eyes wide open.

Yun Dashan was unlucky, and was actually assigned to the toilet. The stench was unbearable for ordinary people.Fortunately, he is a countryman, and the boss is used to the smell, so it doesn't matter much.

Time is money, very precious.

After the two sat down, they began to prepare pen and ink, preparing for the first imperial examination candidate in their lives.Not to mention, the thief is exciting, a bit like the illusion of carrying a gun to the battlefield.

The rain stopped soon, only the water droplets from the eaves fell to the ground.

Candidates who leaked rain during the exam, all tears flowed down, and they called Bodhisattva to bless them.

The first part of the county exam is the main exam. The questions are relatively simple compared to the later exams. They are the most common questions from the Four Books and Five Classics.

How to test?The scholar said...

Those who post the scriptures, cover the two ends of the scriptures they have studied, open a single line in the middle, and cut the paper for the post.The three characters in the posts can be added or lost at any time, whether it can be different, or it is common to get four, five, or six.

It can be seen that the post scriptures focus on memorization, similar to the filling questions in today's Chinese exams. The test questions are generally an excerpt of a sentence from the scriptures and a few words are covered up. Candidates need to fill in the missing words.

Due to the increasing number of candidates and the need to eliminate them, the method of posting scriptures is becoming more and more biased.In order to cope with the exam and make it easier to memorize, the method of "tiekuo" was created, that is, to summarize difficult-to-remember remote scriptures into the form of poems, poems and songs.

Anyway, it is to change various tricks to increase the difficulty.

Memorizing this level by rote is not enough, it is indeed only suitable for going home and farming for a lifetime.Of course, it is not ruled out that some people do not have books to study, but if you do not have books to study, you will test wool.

The surrounding area of ​​the examination room was quiet, except for the footsteps of the examiners, there was the rustling of writing, and even the raindrops hanging on the eaves were dried by the sun.

Time passed quickly, and Bai Chi and Yun Dashan finished writing scriptures one after another.After all, when two people usually study, they will recite each other's sentences to test each other.

Although you won't memorize it backwards, you can basically remember the full text.

As long as it is not a repeated subtitle, you can know what is being said basically as long as you say a few words to connect the meaning.

This learning method was proposed by Bai Chi.

Compared with memorizing by rote quietly by one person, this kind of interaction tests flexibility, memory, etc., and it also deepens the memory again under the condition of memorization.

Especially after reciting the wrong words, I am deeply impressed.

No, Yun Dashan was lucky, many of the sentences were memorized by himself, and Bai Chi corrected them to deepen his impression, and now he wrote them all easily.

In addition to silently writing the Four Books and Five Classics, the following is writing test post poems.

The test post poem is a kind of poetry style, also called Fu Dede.

In short, it is to follow the rules of the examination paper and make a poem with a meter.

This is somewhat difficult for Bai Chi and Yun Dashan.

Their stomachs were already growling, and while they were thinking about poetry, the two picked up the jujube and walnut cake that Yun Xiaoxiao had prepared for them and ate it. The examination room provided clear water, so they didn't choke.

Just to prevent the note from being carried, all these red dates and walnut cakes were smashed into scum.Fortunately, it does not affect the taste and tastes delicious.

When you eat delicious food, you will be happy, and being happy is easy to inspire.

In this way, the two picked up their pens and began to write poems.

Bai Chi didn't study literature in his previous life, but it was not difficult to imitate the poems he had recited before to write a serious poem, but imitating would not be a classic.

As for Yun Dashan, he was reminded by Bai Chi that literary talent is second, and rhythm is important. If you want to get a high score, you'd better flatter the current emperor. Even if you don't get a high score, it's impossible to give a low score.

In this way, each of the two exams has its own tricks.

The sun was setting, and it was obviously getting late.

After finishing the questions, Yun Dashan and Bai Chi checked the exam papers one after another, and when they saw that there were no major problems, they stood up and handed in the papers.That appearance is full of confidence, as if a scholar is already in his pocket.

As for the other candidates who came out, they were a little downcast, saying what they said they remembered but forgot how to write.Some were elated, saying that the exam was guaranteed.

There are also some candidates who are psychologically resistant, squatting on the ground and crying like a child.After ten years of studying hard for the present, they failed the exam.
