The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 118: Scientific Examination 2
"Brother, do you have all the supplies for your scientific examination?"

Yuechan brought a bowl of lotus seed eight-treasure porridge into Haoyu's study.

Putting down the book in his hand, Haoyu led Yuechan to sit down, and said with a smile: "Is there anything to prepare, isn't it just brushes, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Yuechan was completely stunned, and looked at Haoyu in disbelief. Is her brother a fool in studying? He didn't even ask about such a big matter as the scientific examination. Really, let her not know what to say.

"What's your expression like?"

Meng Haoyu looked at Yuechan helplessly: "I know you are smart, but you can't treat my brother as a fool."

Yuechan rubbed her forehead, feeling a severe headache: "Brother, I really shouldn't let you read so many books, you are so stupid!"

While talking, Yuechan stood up and pointed at Haoyu: "Brother, you know that Qiu Wei will last for nine days, moreover, food and lodging are all in there, even going to the toilet is settled in there, and now, but In late autumn, cotton-padded clothes are not allowed during scientific examinations, how are you going to survive these nine days?"

"Ah!" Meng Haoyu opened his mouth wide: "That's it! Mr. Why..."

Yuechan caressed her forehead: "Mr. is not a fool. He is going to tell you. You are not too scared to enter the examination room. You don't know. Every time Qiu Wei can't hold on, there are many candidates who are weak. Maybe he died inside."

Now, Haoyu immediately looked at Yuechan seriously, "Then what do you want to do, you can't stop taking the exam just because of this."

Yuechan smiled: "Of course not, but you should prepare well."

While talking, Yuechan clapped her hands outside, Huamei came in with a few maids, each of them held something, and after the maids put the things on the table, they bowed and left.

Yuechan first took the test basket and handed it to Meng Haoyu: "This is the test basket I specially ordered. I got the pattern, and when I asked his family to do it, I specially made one for you. This is for nothing, but my brother doesn’t know. The Yu family made quite a few of my pattern. This time, just selling these test baskets, their family will Made a lot of money."

Yuechan opened the cover neatly, and saw that the compartments inside were clearly divided, the place where the pen was placed, the place where the inkstone was placed, and the place where clear water was placed, and there was also a roll of white paper, and this layer was placed Open it, and put a lot of carbon on the bottom, and put rice and other things in another layer. The design of this test basket is very reasonable, and everything is placed well, so it is not afraid of being broken if it is not placed properly.

"There are some charcoal fires here. In addition, I asked someone to prepare a small charcoal stove and a small pot. During the nine days of the exam, my brother can't eat cold and hard things. The dry food and other things can be placed in the Heat it up in the pot before eating." Yuechan smiled, and picked up something else on the table: "This is incense. Everyone eats and drinks for nine days in the examination room, and the smell must be unpleasant. Mint is added to this incense. Light it up, clear your eyes and clear your mind, and get rid of evil smells.”

Meng Haoyu took the small incense burner and smelt it. It was indeed very refreshing. He couldn't help being moved by Yuechan's care.

Yuechan put the incense burner away, and picked up a piece of oilcloth that she had made: "It's autumn now, and it's hard to guarantee when it will rain. When my brother entered the examination room, he propped up this piece of oilcloth with bamboo poles. The examination number has been in disrepair for a long time. Yes, who knows which one will leak, and you also know that if it rains, and the exam paper is blurred, this exam will be in vain."

Meng Haoyu couldn't help but nodded, a little dumbfounded, how could such a small exam have such a big trick in it.

Putting the oilcloth away, Yuechan picked up another piece of clothing and handed it to Meng Haoyu: "Brother, try this piece of clothing and it fits well. This is the yarn I spun and the cloth I wove. I cut and sew the clothes myself. You are not allowed to wear them in the examination room." Cotton clothes, I entrusted the extremely rare silk woven material that Team Master Yu found, it is very warm to wear, it is this single clothes, it is warmer than the fur clothes, you try it first, if there is something wrong, We still have time to fix it."

Looking at a light green shirt woven with natural bamboo patterns in his hand, the exquisite patterns, the meticulous workmanship, and the soft and warm touch of the fabric, for some reason, Meng Haoyu felt sore in his heart, and looked at Yuechan's face. A gentle and gentle smile, a little embarrassed.

This is my younger sister. When my mother passed away, the younger sister I was most worried about. My mother told me to take good care of my younger sister. However, after a few years, he, the older brother, has never taken care of Yuechan. Chan is taking care of him, working hard for him, trying to persuade him, taking care of everything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never letting him worry about it.

Looking at Yuechan's thin face, Meng Haoyu felt uncomfortable. He felt sorry for his dead mother, and even more sorry for Yuechan. He is an older brother, and he deserved his efforts, but he made his younger sister work so hard. He really didn't deserve to be a brother.

"Yuechan..."

Meng Haoyu hugged Yuechan fiercely: "Brother is sorry for you, he didn't take good care of you, and made you suffer."

Yuechan smiled lightly, and hugged Meng Haoyu back: "I don't work hard at all, as long as my brother is good, I am happy in my heart. Besides, my brother has studied hard for so many years to protect Yuechan in the future." Ah, brother has worked hard too, you have to study hard, you will become a Jinshi master in the future, and after you become a high-ranking official, no one will dare to touch Yuechan."

"Ok!"

Meng Haoyu responded when he was reborn: "My brother will definitely work hard, and I will definitely protect Yuechan well."

There were tears in the eyes of both brothers and sisters, reflecting the warm light coming through the window, they were indescribably warm and harmonious.

Meng Zhiwen stood at the door with a moved face.

He originally wanted to come over to see how Haoyu was preparing. In the past few days, he also asked his colleagues. There was a nephew in the family who had participated in the scientific examination. He also asked a lot of experience. He wanted to come over and warn Hao Yu let out a cry, but unexpectedly heard and saw such a scene of siblings getting close.

These two kids...

At this moment, Meng Zhiwen realized that he, as a father, was really negligent of his duties, and had never really cared about his children. If he could take care of his children a little more, how could Haoyu and Yuechan be like this... Hard work .

Lowering his head slightly, Meng Zhiwen didn't say anything, and backed out again. He couldn't help sighing as he walked all the way, thinking that he would take care of his children more from now on, but the children are all grown up now. Yes, if he cared, I don't know if it would be a little late.

For a few days, Yuechan went to Haoyu's study every day. The brother and sister talked about scriptures and handouts. Yuechan guessed some scientific examination questions by herself, and asked someone to help. , she just watched from the sidelines, and sometimes she added a sentence or two, which benefited Haoyu a lot.

It was only at this time that Haoyu realized how knowledgeable Yuechan was. This girl is like a moving library. No matter what sentence in any book, she can accurately say it. No matter how strange it is, she can speak without thinking provenance.

Moreover, the lectures are more thorough than what their husbands said, and they are more concise and easy to understand, so that people can understand them and remember them deeply.

There are also some policy topics aimed at current disadvantages, and Yuechan also discusses them with Haoyu. She is afraid that Haoyu is young and energetic. It's a big event, when the time comes, not only Haoyu will be involved.

According to Emperor Tianchen's personality, Yuechan analyzed many possible policy topics, analyzed and explained them one by one with Haoyu, thinking about the people's livelihood and the customs of various places she saw when she was a ghost in her previous life, and argued with Haoyu.

In a few days, Haoyu seemed to have been completely reborn, his whole person became softer and calmer, and he did not show any sharpness. If Haoyu was a pearl before, now he has become a moist jade, and his temperament has changed. many.

Meng Haoyu couldn't help but admire Yuechan, and he didn't know how this girl knew so much at such a young age. Some things can't be learned just by reading.

Meng Yuechan's explanation was that her past three years were not in vain. She often sneaked out to go shopping. There were people from all over the city of Chang'an who came to settle down. Yuechan could hear some things from listening to their chats. The class leader's business is all over the world, and Yuechan can get some information from him if she wants to know about the situation in any place.

This explanation gave Meng Haoyu a sudden insight. Before, he looked down on businessmen, but now that he thinks about it, businessmen have their advantages. At least, they are well-informed. If they become officials in the future, they will have to deal with these people.

Let’s not talk about how the brothers and sisters prepare for the exam, but on the day of the scientific exam, Yuechan got up early and asked a few servants to help Haoyu clean up. examination room.

After some preparations, Haoyu entered the examination room wearing unlined clothes, carrying baskets, stoves, pots, oilcloths, etc., which really became a highlight of this autumn session.

Which examinee is not as well-prepared as he is, even bringing the stove and pot. Could it be that he still wants to cook in the examination room?This gentleman is far from being a cook, judging by Haoyu's clothes, he should not be born in poverty, how could he be able to light a stove and cook.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Mrs. Fei, because Yuechan was afraid that Haoyu would not know how to do this, so she asked Mrs. Fei to train him for several days, so she taught him the simplest things before the exam.

The other candidates all brought quilts and wore several unlined clothes, but Haoyu wore a single unlined garment without even a quilt, which made people curious and puzzled.

If you say that the examinee is not prepared, the things he brought are complete. If you say that he is prepared, don’t you know that the cold in the room is frightening, and the cold wind is blowing at night, and he didn’t even bring the quilt , Aren’t you afraid of freezing sick and failing the exam?

No matter what others think, the elder brother of the Meng family entered the examination room leisurely, entered his examination number, put his things away, and waited for the examiner to hand out the papers.

Of course, I am very happy in my heart. I have a good sister who has thought of everything. Candidates are jealous.

When Meng Haoyu was waiting for the exam papers to be handed out, he turned his head and looked at the candidates in the left and right exam numbers. On the left was a fat man, wearing several single clothes, and shivering from the cold. His fat body was just for display.

The person on the right, Haoyu, does know him. Yu Yuanniang’s half-brother Liu Yuansheng, this Liu Yuansheng is a shrewd person because he has suffered a lot since childhood, and he studies hard. He has good grades in the academy and is very popular with Mr. Liu Yuansheng wore a dress similar to his, Hao Yu laughed, his sister was trying to win over the Yu family.

Looking at the opposite side again, Hao Yu was a little puzzled. There was a young man in white sitting across from him. It wasn't that he was dressed in white that attracted attention, but that this man's appearance was too exquisite and beautiful. Nothing bad, handsome and moist eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, especially those eyes, so clear that it makes people want to look more often.

This kind of character is really stunning when he is worthy of being shocked. Just by looking at this person, one can know what the real beauty is.

This is not very strange, the key point is that the man is wearing a white shirt, the material is obviously very ordinary, but he is only wearing a shirt, but he is sitting still, as if he is not cold at all.
