Chapter 71 Boy Lifting
On the construction site of the skateboard club, Sun Yue and Lu Mengzheng, each with a large glass of watermelon juice, used reed poles as straws, and drank them one by one.
"Is there anything missing in my family's life?"
"No need, my mother and I don't have much stuff in total. This house is transparent from north to south, warm in winter and cool in summer, much better than when we were at the foot of Mount Song before."
"Well, I said yes, you don't have any salary to help me manage this club, but you can tell me any difficulties in your life."
Lu Mengzheng smiled confidently and said, "No need. After Tong Ju, I will get the reward from the official family, so my family will not have to be so tight."
"Are you so sure that you will be able to win the boy's reputation?"
"Hahaha, if you can't even beat a mere child, how can you have the right to drink watermelon juice with Brother Sun?"
Then, Lu Mengzheng said with a bitter expression: "But what my mother meant is that after she passed the Tong Ju, she would just marry a woman from a wealthy family, so..."
Sun Yue was stunned, but said, "What your mother said is nothing wrong. Will you start a family first and then start a career? My sister won't blame you. It will take at least seven or eight years to wait for you to pass the Jinshi. Even if my sister is willing to wait, Uncle Cao will not let you go. Although you two still have a little hope, it is actually not great."
Lu Mengzheng nodded and said, "I am also thinking about it, but I always feel unwilling to get married just like this."
The two were silent.
"Forget it, let's talk about these things when you finish the exam tomorrow. Let's compare and see who has the better ranking. I'm going back."
"Okay, see you in the exam tomorrow."
“See you in the exam room.”
…………
The next morning, when Sun Yue opened his eyes, he couldn't help but take out the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius and read it again. He was sure to memorize it and then closed the book with peace of mind.
After leaving the house, the whole family had already gotten up and the breakfast was ready. They were all looking at him with ardent eyes. This feeling was very familiar, and it felt a bit like the college entrance examination in the previous life.
It was not until after dinner that Sun Chunming said the first sentence to him: "Take a good exam. If you fail the exam, don't come back."
Sun Yue also pretended to be relaxed and said: "If you fail the exam? It doesn't exist, wait for the news of my victory, and leave."
As he said that, Sun Yue stepped on the skateboard and left with a whoosh.
Although the Boy's Evaluation is also an integral part of the imperial examination, the court actually did not attach much importance to it, and its influence is far from being comparable to that of Jinshi, so the corresponding process is also relatively simple.
If you want to participate in the Boys' Entrance Examination, you must first go through the recommendation of the prefecture. If there are more famous prodigy among the people under the jurisdiction of the prefectures in various places, you can recommend it. Sun Yue has lived in Kaifeng City for a year now, so he naturally has his hometown in Kaifeng Prefecture, or is it recommended by Zhao Guangyi himself.
The boy who was recommended arrived at the first level of Kaifeng City, called the inspection. In fact, he went to the Imperial College to do a set of papers and judged on the spot. Only those who passed the exam could be admitted to the Zhongshu for the examination. Finally, the emperor personally recommended the favor and followed the Jinshi's provincial examination, provincial examination, and palace examination, but it took much shorter time to walk around.
What Sun Yue is going to participate in today is this first level, and the inspection is completed.
I walked to the Imperial College on a skateboard. Because it was not yet time, the door of the Imperial College was closed. A large number of prodigy were waiting outside the door nervously. Some were holding this book and sharpening their guns in the face of battle, some took the opportunity to pass on the name and start socializing, and some chatted in groups of three or three. In this atmosphere, even those who were not nervous would definitely be nervous.
So, when Sun Yue stepped on the skateboard and stopped at the door with a handsome drift, it seemed a bit destructive and particularly conspicuous.
"Everyone, the one I'm stepping on under my feet is called skateboard, it's so fun. It's the most popular toy in Kaifeng City. There is currently a skateboard club under construction in the city, with all kinds of fun things in it. It will be opened next month. It will be paid for guests in the first month. There is no membership fee. Skateboarding is free to play. If you pass the exam, stay in Kaifeng and you can play skateboarding with me in your spare time."
The other candidates looked at him with a strange look and started whispering.
"Who is this kid? Which state recommends it? Is he really a prodigy?"
"It's about to be tested. I don't want to read the book, but I just want to play. Whose prodigy will be so stupid? Some people recommend such a child. Really, haha."
"Brother is wrong. Look at his age, I don't think he is more than ten years old. Although this child is always under fifteen, who has ever heard of a child prodigy under ten? I think, which relative of the prefect sent him to have a long experience, is it important to participate? So the pressure in his heart cannot be compared with those who are bound to win. A child is understandable if he is a child."
"No, since this is a new toy from Kaifeng City, and this kid knows so well, it should be recommended by Kaifeng Prefecture. Then his recommender should be the second king. This kid can't be a royal relative."
"It's true, how could the Second King recommend such a young child?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and Sun Yue naturally heard it, but he didn't mind. In his opinion, the behavior of reading books at the entrance of the exam room was really stupid. It was useless except to make him more nervous. The more stupid one was those who found someone he didn't know and chatted about it at this time.
Think about what you can talk about at this time? It’s just a few polite words and some discussions on exam preparations. It would be strange if you don’t talk too much.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the opportunity to promote your own business. No matter where these children come from, as long as they pass the imperial examination, they will almost stay in Kaifeng. They are just a time to play with each other. They are all their potential customers. This is the real useful effort.
Well...most of these cute customers are calling themselves stupid.
But, after all, is it only the majority? There is still a small part of it that came over.
The first one to come over was a real child who looked like a porcelain doll, looking only five or six years old. Sun Yue was in a bad mood. He was so younger than himself. Is such a young child really recommended to take the exam?
Just saw this naughty child with a snot and biting his fingers. The key was that he looked very ugly. Children of other people's age were all pink, but he had a big pancake face, and he was still the kind of big pancake face that was harshly shot with a pan. Sun Yue always thought that only island anime would draw such a curious effect on human faces, but he didn't expect to watch them today.
"Is this a skateboard? Wow, I've wanted one for a long time. Can my elder brother let me play?"
Sun Yue's expression moved and said, "Little brother, are you a candidate from Kaifeng?"
"Yes, but I am different from my elder brothers. I am really here to join in the fun. My father is the censor and has a good relationship with the second king. So let me come and join in the fun."
Sun Yueqi said: "What do you call Lingzun?"
"Censor, Wang You."
