After the Encore Exam period is announced, the Cohort Exam is expected to be soon.
Zhu Pingan s focus of study is also placed on the science examination, the science examination is in accordance with the curriculum of the county school and the government school, the four books, this “scripture”, “the complete book of sexuality”, “Zhu Zi Compendium” as the centre, rites, music, books and so on are no longer to read, the science examination is not to test the book of rites and music. The types of questions in the imperial examinations were also roughly the sutras, books, righteousness, tables, strategies, etc. Oh, and sometimes members were asked to recite them. Zhu Pingan targeted his practice to the above content and question types.
In addition to this, Zhu Pingan’s study intensity was also strengthened a lot more than before, getting up about half an hour earlier in the morning than before, and going to bed half an hour later in the evening than before.
Although the scientific examination is the school officer is generally presided over by the school officer to each county, the government, but sometimes the school officer will also take the “hanging test” and “class test” way, “patrols toil, only high cited the sun and the moon. To the big than, only commissioned by the government, the county class test and the joint test.” Hanging test, refers to the mention of the school officer according to a government, will be other government students to this government to conduct the examination. The so-called class examination is also known as the school officials currently commissioned by the county government officials on the student assessment, and then sent to the provincial capital, by the school officials to conduct the examination. The Hanging Examination would make the trekking of the students unbearable, while the Class Examination, because of the current examination by the county government officials, would be prone to breeding*. Ideally, the examination should be conducted in person by the school inspector on a regular basis.
Zhu Pingan, in addition to studying and reviewing, also followed up on the last time he gave the abdominal black girl a lecture on “Yi Tian Tu Zhi Zhi” and wrote a few thousand words, although it took up quite a lot of time, but rightly so, as a practice of writing.
Mother Chen is also changing patterns to give Zhu Pingan do delicious, stewing, boiling, steaming, deep frying, frying, pickling, cooking eighteen martial arts all on, every let Zhu Pingan eat full, lest the nutrition can not keep up.
“Swine. How about we don’t take the test anymore?”
One day, Chen looked at Zhu Pingan at the dinner table and suddenly opened her mouth.
Not only was Zhu Pingan, who was eating happily, stunned, even Zhu’s father and elder brother and Zhu Pingchuan on the side were stunned.
Mother Chen the other day was spreading joy around to people bragging that their son is going to go to the examination, that enthusiasm than Zhu Pingan are much higher. Chen loved to show off. Regardless of whether or not Zhu Pingan could pass the exam, simply going to the imperial examination, this simple going to the imperial examination was enough for Chen to show off.
Therefore, it was Chen’s sudden words that surprised the crowd.
“What is it, Mother?” Zhu Pingan swallowed the chicken in his mouth. Very surprised, he looked at his mother Chen and asked in disbelief.
Mother Chen looked at Zhu Pingan with great heartache, “Mother sees that you are too tired from studying, these days Mother has been making delicious food for you in different ways, but not only did she not fatten you up. Mother has seen you lose weight. Let’s not take the exam.”
At these words, Zhu Pingan was touched by his mother Chen’s strong maternal love and was unable to stop crying and laughing.
“What’s the point of a boy growing so fat.” Father Zhu took a bite of the meat cake and casually said without caring.
Then
Father Zhu stirred up a hornet’s nest with these words.
“Zhu Shouyi, it’s not the meat that fell off your body, of course you don’t feel sorry for it!” Mother Chen put her chopsticks on the table at once and glared hard at Father Zhu, then she saw the meat cake in Father Zhu’s hand before snatching it from his mouth. “This meatcake is for swine’s son and Dachuan, there’s no portion for you!”
Then, mother Chen placed the meatloaf with a corner missing in front of Zhu Pingan.
Cough cough. Looking at the meatloaf that had been bitten by Zhu father, Zhu Pingan laughed bitterly.
“Mother, I’m growing, the meat is growing in size, look, my son has grown quite a bit in the past few days.” Zhu Pingan said and stood up from the table. Using his hand to gesture twice on the top of his head, indicating that he had grown taller.
“How can you grow that fast.” Mother Chen was so interrupted by Zhu Pingan. She was in a much better mood, crying and laughing as she snapped.
“Swine brother. Really grew taller.” Big brother Zhu Pingchuan also opened his mouth at the right time, speaking from the heart, feeling that the second brother was really taller in the past two days.
“Really?” Mother Chen’s eyes lit up, this eldest son of his own is a virtue with his father, and will not pickpocket blind words.
“Really.”
Zhu Pingan and his elder brother Zhu Pingan said in unison.
Then, mother Chen’s mood only got much better, and she stopped mentioning words that would make Zhu Pingan not take the exam.
Zhu Pingan duly placed the missing corner of the meatloaf back into Zhu father’s bowl.
Father Zhu looked at the meatloaf, looked at Chen, and did not dare to speak.
“What are you looking at, eat your cake, who would eat what you’ve bitten.” Mother Chen looked at Father Zhu and rolled her eyes, scolding.
Only after hearing Chen’s scolding did Zhu’s father grin and eat.
“Look at you!” Mother Chen didn’t hold back her laughter.
The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately harmonious, the family ate breakfast beautifully, these years Zhu family’s standard of living is looking at the improvement, Zhu father drove the oxcart harvest quite fee, elder brother Zhu Pingchuan in the mountains also have more harvests, mother Chen’s needlework can often make up for the family, last year, Zhu father and the village in the lower river in the ten acres of paddy land, ten acres of dry land, coupled with the original field, now the Zhu family is considered to be the village’s affluent family. The Zhu family is now considered to be a wealthy family in the village.
Especially after Zhu Pingan passed the examination, the status of the Zhu family in the lower river village has also been raised a lot, and now the mother Chen’s out of the door, are other people rush to greet, so that the mother Chen’s every day is happy.
Big brother Zhu Pingchuan’s marriage is also steady, waiting for the waxing of more win Juan sister into the door, on this sister-in-law, Zhu Pingan perennial book, but never face, but heard people say is quite good. Especially big brother, satisfied with this sister-in-law can not be satisfied again, often approaching people in different ways, before big brother’s old man is still often hindered, but since Zhu Pingan in the student especially in the Xiu Cai, big brother’s old man not only turn a blind eye, and occasionally take the initiative to go out and shop around.
In short, everything in the Zhu family is flourishing.
Relative to Zhu Pingan’s family, the old house Zhu family is a bit sour, although the grandfather Zhu old man and grandmother out of other people are also compliments, but always feel the village people compliments in some make fun of.
The old man often sighed in the courtyard, if the old man is not divided out of the family, then how good ah.
“I heard from the oldest two’s family that the swine’s son is going to take the Lifaoren exam again.” Grandfather sat on a chair without a head and said something to grandmother who was picking vegetables.
“We haven’t even started yet, but the Lao Er family is talking as if they’ve passed the exam.” The grandmother who was picking vegetables bristled.
“What do you know, it’s a big deal to be able to take the exams.” Grandfather puffed on his cigarette.
“You smoke less, how long did you cough last night.”
Grandmother sniffing stunned for a long time, looked up and saw grandfather lit another pot of cigarettes, could not help but put down the dishes in his hand to discourage.
“Just a couple of puffs.” Grandfather flattened his mouth.
Quietness returned to the old Zhu family mansion, only the humming of chickens, ducks and pigs
