Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After sitting blankly in the study for about an hour and drinking a cup of tea, Su Mu suddenly laughed: "What am I trying to do with myself? This time I won't take this test. The reason why I wrote the composition just now is just If you want to adjust your mood and state, why bother with yourself."

"This is the old Mr. Wu who fooled himself into a demon. If that's the case, why bother. Why don't you just take an excellent model essay on the same topic and copy it, and treat it as a kind of leisure."

Thinking of this, Su Mu didn't bother thinking about it, he went through the "Stupid Scholar Essays of Past Dynasties" edited by his mentor in his mind, and then transcribed the model essay of Kang Hai's No. 16 Essay in Hongzhi's [-]th year.

Not to mention, remembering things, if you don't pull them out to bask in the sun often, you really have to forget them.

After thinking for a long time, I finally recalled that article completely.

An stereotyped essay is only about [-] words, and Su Mu doesn't need to copy all of them, just extract the main points, three or two hundred words is ok.After writing two pages, he felt his mood gradually calm down.

There is a vague sense of excitement. Calligraphy does have an inexplicable magical power.

After finishing writing, Su Mu simply found out all the examination questions of Hongzhi's 16 years in real history, and passed Kang Hai's model essay roughly according to his memory.

The whole day passed by so quickly.

During this day, the house seemed extremely quiet, and the servants walked lightly, for fear of disturbing the Grand Master's preparation for the exam.

At night, Su Mu was surprised to find that he felt relaxed all over, as if he had taken a hot bath.

He was very satisfied in his heart: It seems that this adjustment method is very good.

During this day, Xiaodie has already prepared Su Mu and Wu Shiqi's test baskets and the objects used in the imperial examination.

After dinner, Su Mu stopped reading, picked up a pen and copied two Tang poems on paper, and then went to bed.

This sleep was comfortable, and at around 02:30 Beijing time, Su Mu was woken up by Xiaodie.In fact, Su Mu would wake up without her shouting.During the four or two months at the General Administration Department, he had already formed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

It was not yet dawn, but it was bright outside. When I looked up, there was a waning moon in the sky.When the clear light fell, it seemed that a layer of milky white matter was flowing on the ground.

According to the imperial examination system, at four o'clock in the morning this morning, he will go to the Tribute Court for roll call.

There are more than 7000 candidates, and it will take a whole day just to roll their names.If you are lucky, you may be able to enter the examination room early in the morning.Otherwise, it may not be possible to enter until evening.

After entering the examination room, as soon as it gets dark, the test questions will come down.At that time, whether you sleep with your head covered or stay up late to answer questions, it is up to you.

Anyway, the first session will only take five questions for three days, how to arrange it is your own business.

This is the fourth time Su Mu has taken the imperial examination after traveling to the Ming Dynasty. There are three boy exams, one rural exam, and now it is the most important general exam.

Although it is said that if an ancient scholar wants to complete the entire imperial examination process, in addition to Chunwei, there is also a palace examination.However, as long as you pass the test, you will be awarded the honor of a member.As for the final imperial examination, it is just a ranking for the Chinese candidates.

There is no elimination at that level, so as long as you pass the test, you are considered a genuine Jinshi.

The urgency of this hurdle naturally goes without saying.

Su Mu originally thought that his family members would be facing a big enemy, so they looked extremely solemn.

But this morning felt no different from the past, and the family members still looked calm.

In more than a year, Su Mu participated in four exams in one go, and the boy won the first place in all three exams, winning a small three yuan.There were some twists and turns in the township examination, and the ranking was very low, but he still passed the exam without any risk. ,

After watching too much, I am tired of aesthetics, and Xiaodie has a kind of blind confidence in Su Mu.It seems that the Chinese style of sumac is normal, and if it is not right, it is a strange thing.

As for what to do before the exam, Xiaodie naturally knew that everything Su Mu needed had been prepared half a month ago.

Ordinarily, the meal before the exam should be light, so as not to be too meaty and make the examinee's mind unclear.However, just roll call today may take a whole day, and the examination room is not obliged to prepare lunch for everyone.

Therefore, this morning's meal was extremely rich.A total of six meat, three vegetables, one soup, and wine.

Mr. Wu also came over, saying that he wanted to try Xiaodie's handicraft before the exam.You know, even Emperor Zhengde loved Xiaodie's culinary skills very much.

The same hospital examination is different from the rural examination. The general examination is the real national talent ceremony. Meals will also be provided in the examination room, so you don't need to bring your own rations in.

Su Mu also knew that this breakfast was very important, so he simply opened his stomach and gave up until he couldn't fill it.

Probably because he was afraid that Mr. Wu would fall ill again after entering the examination room. He woke up early in the morning, took the medicine as usual, and got up early again. When the old man mentioned chopsticks, his eyes would fight.

Eating and eating, he stared at him in a daze, only to wake up when someone called out, said a few words of kindness, took a few mouthfuls, and closed his eyes again.

His head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Xiaodie glanced at Su Mu worriedly: "Master, this Mr. Wu is so sleepy, what should he do when he enters the examination room?"

Su Mu swallowed a mouthful of beef, and said: "Don't worry, there will be a whole day, and the assignment paper will not be distributed until evening, and there will be time for tomorrow's work. By then, the effects of the medicine will have passed."

Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, I'm still worried!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Die whispered again: "According to the girl on Mr. Wu's side, after the old man started taking medicine, the place is very clean, and everyone in the mansion feels very comfortable. She also said that if Mr. Wu That's fine."

It seemed that the servants couldn't stand the old gentleman's nagging and difficulty.

Su Mu laughed loudly: "You can't speak ill of Mr. Wu behind his back."

At this time, Wu Shiqi woke up suddenly: "Who is calling me, who is calling me?"

Su Mu and Xiaodie were taken aback.

Xiaodie hurriedly said: "My lord, hurry up and eat, it's better to go to the Gongyuan earlier, if you go late, be careful not to squeeze in. Back then when my lord took part in the provincial examination, there was such a blockage!"

Wu Shiqi came to his senses: "Yes, yes, don't eat, let's go!"

He stood up and walked outside with great strides.

Su Mu was only [-]% full after eating, so he had no choice but to stand up.

Outside the gate, there were already two sedan chairs waiting. In the halo of the lantern, Su Mu saw Miss Wu standing there, waiting quietly.Seeing his father and Su Mu, he didn't speak, but gave a little blessing, his eyes were filled with joy, worry, and anticipation.

She was wearing thin clothes, standing in the morning breeze, her skirts fluttering, there was an indescribable beauty.

Su Mu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Dawn, you can go back, there is no need to send it off."

"Yes..." Ms. Wu is a typical good wife and mother, and she only responded softly: "I wish Ziqiao and Daddy every success."

"Naturally it will succeed." Even though he was not sure about this test, Su Mu lifted his spirits and comforted her: "Don't worry, when the time comes, we, Weng and my son-in-law, will be on the gold list together. But it’s also a good story.”

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden thunderous sound, which seemed unusually loud at dawn.

Su Mu and Ms. Wu were horrified, and when they looked back, it turned out that Mr. Wu had already fallen asleep in the sedan chair.

Double the dose is really powerful.
