Rebirth of the Imperial Examination: The Empress of the Impoverished Family

The weather has become much warmer, and the sun is shining, and it still feels a little hot.

After doing the math, Jiang Jin hasn't been back to the academy for nearly four months.

The scenery along the way is changing, and the dry scene in the past is now covered with lush greenery.

The people around him were also changing, Bai Chaoyi remained silent as always, Song Jiangli's topic was still on eating.

Jiang Jin cherishes this ordinary friendship very much.

Although all three of them are not quite normal.

It was almost evening when the three of them arrived.

The academy has already had two batches of freshmen, and the academy is full of brand new faces.

Now Jiang Jin has also become a senior brother.

On the road, someone even greeted him, and Jiang Jin was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Actually, no one expected that you would choose to come back." Song Jiangli said.

Holding the snack in his hand, he seemed to be struggling, but he still insisted not to be helped.

Jiang Jin smiled and said nothing.

She really can't stay for long.

The three of them wanted to go back to pack their belongings, and they separated at the door.

Not long after Jiang Jin stayed in the dormitory, a junior brother ran over and said that Mr. Zou was looking for him.

Jiang Jin said she knew, and looked in her luggage for the paper she had written from memory two days ago.

"When your news came back, although Mr. Zou didn't say anything, everyone could tell that he was very happy."

"Ah?"

Jiang Jin couldn't imagine how happy Mr. Zou was.

It must be calling her a trick again.

However, Jiang Jin did not object to Mr. Zou reading the papers.

This is why she came back from this trip.

Relying on herself, this road will be more difficult after all.

When Jiang Jin arrived, Mr. Zou was making tea under the tree in the courtyard.

He was dressed in plain clothes, sitting on the floor, his hair and beard were messed up by the wind, but his expression was still focused on the object in his hand.

I don't know if it's the setting sun or the light of the fire, but Mr. Zou is enveloped in warm colors, and the clouds and light seem misty and interesting.

Now he probably caught a glimpse of her arriving, and only called her to "sit."

Jiang Jin sat down and was putting down the paper, but Mr. Zou motioned her to wait until the tea was ready.

Jiang Jin also waited obediently.

In my impression, Mr. Zou has always been impatient, but now he boils tea slowly.

Mr. Zou didn't speak until the tea soup was slightly boiling and white smoke billowed up.

"Is the way back going smoothly?"

Jiang Jin didn't know what aspect Mr. Zou was talking about, but she really couldn't tell what she had done recently, so she could only say "smooth" out of conscience.

Mr. Zou snorted, and dropped the fan in his hand, "Do you think I am blind and deaf when I am on the mountain?"

With a sound of "clang", a cup of tea fell in front of Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin took the tea and drank it without blushing. She was right, although the method was indeed a bit extreme.

Mr. Zou didn't say anything, just kept a straight face, and filled her teacup again.

"You, what should I say about you?"

Jiang Jin couldn't speak, so he could only drink tea in silence.

"Good?" Mr. Zou raised his eyebrows and asked her.

Of course, Jiang Jin's answer was delicious, and he couldn't take pride in his husband's face.

Mr. Zou sighed, "I'm no match for you."

He filled his teacup, "Do you know how to make a good pot of tea?"

Jiang Jin thought about what Auntie usually made, and then replied, "The heat and the texture of the tea itself."

Mr. Zou smiled "heh", "You also know that you need to pay attention to the heat."

He pointed to the teapot, "If the heat is to be moderate, the ears, eyes, lips, and tongue must not be lazy, so as to have a moderate water temperature to go well with the tea."

"If a pot of boiling water is poured down, even the best tea will be spoiled."

Jiang Jin nodded half-understood.

Mr. Zou gave her a blank look, and said earnestly, "Whether it's people or things, only when they are moderate can they be mellow but not treacherous, honest and kind without being bullied by others, one advance and one retreat, just like the firepower's one breath and one extinguishment, sometimes too If you are too upright, you will hurt yourself, do you understand this truth?"

Jiang Jin blushed and said, "Thank you for your teaching, sir."

"It's good if you know." Mr. Zou put down the object in his hand, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving. If you force the vicious dog to a place where it has nowhere to go, you will inevitably be retaliated by it. You have a long way to go in the future." long."

"Yes, sir."

Jiang Jin really didn't think about it.

She should have plucked herself out and just put on a sack like before.

"Okay, let's not talk about you, do you have the paper?"

"Have."

Jiang Jin handed over the paper respectfully, and then talked about his grades.

Mr. Zou nodded while watching.

"For your age, it's great to write articles like this, but talent is important or unimportant for scientific research."

"Even if you have the ability of photographic memory, the badness is not in the writing, but in the practical insights and historical thinking. This is why your government did not get the first place in the examination."

"Before I told you to read a book thoroughly, I was afraid that you would swallow it whole, but now you have to remember that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

"The knowledge you feel will be much more real than what you read in books."

Jiang Jin also felt this way.

When she wrote the article, she was powerless, so she could only pick a few simple points to write.

She hurriedly said modestly, "What Mr. said is that the students are immersed in the books all day long, and they really neglected these things."

Mr. Zou nodded, "It's good that you know these things."

He put down the paper, "If you have free time, you can go for a walk in the countryside, or take a look at the dam."

Jiang Jin naturally wanted to listen to Mr. Zou's advice, and it was for her own good.

Seeing Jiang Jin listening to him like this for the first time, Mr. Zou felt a little unnatural.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Jiang Jin asked instead, "Sir, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

Mr. Zou coughed twice.

He is really not used to it!
Obviously, I would choke if I said two sentences before.

"It's nothing. Your county test and government test are all in the front. Of course, you can take the college test, but you can study the preferences of the chief examiner."

He took out a stack of books from under the table, "These are some of Ji Xuedao's articles that have been circulated outside, you can read them, remember to read them, don't deliberately flatter and flatter, understand?"

"Mr. teaches, students naturally save money."

Jiang Jin thanked him again.

When she left Lin'an Mansion, Zhu Yange also gave her a set.

Now that she has two sets in hand, she can compare them.

Jiang Jin's appearance gave Mr. Zou goosebumps.

This child is really abnormal when he comes back.

He couldn't help but reminded again, "You are the only one, if you can't read it, you can take it back to the old man."

How could Jiang Jin be willing to give it back to him!
So it was rare to say mischievously: "Since the master gave it to the students, don't take it back, sir, leave!"

She ran away after she finished speaking, and drank all the tea in the teacup when she was done.

Mr. Zou was so angry that he shook his head behind him and laughed.

"You little bastard! It hasn't changed at all!"
