One, Yao Anyi is a concubine, and he is the eldest son.
If Yao Anhong fails to pass the exam, it will put great pressure on the Yao family.
Only when he passed the exam and worked hard to take over from Uncle Yao, the following brothers and nephews would have time to grow up slowly.
On the other hand, Yao Anyi's father has already become an official. Even if he is just a junior official, he is still an official. As long as Uncle Yao has no nephew in Beijing and Mr. Yao does not make any obvious mistakes, the third house can be considered stable.
Yao An is relieved and has time to grow up slowly.
But Yao Anhong is different because his second wife has no official position.
The reason why Mr. Yao Er Ye's reputation as a scholar and Yao Anhong's reputation as a scholar are useful is because Jinling is a small place, and the other is because the Yao family was once a wealthy family, and a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
But these Jinlings are only in Jinling.
If you are outside the circle of Jinling, you are no longer a person.
Yao Anhong knew very well that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
He needs to get good grades as soon as possible and stand out.
However, Yao Anhong also knew that he did not necessarily have to pass the exam this time. Gu Qingling was in good health and had remarried Prince Chong; Uncle Yao was only in his thirties.
He still has at least several years of preparation.
This time, in addition to gaining experience, he also wanted to see how far he could pass the exam and see how far he was from his goal.
In February, the county examination is coming.
It was Yao Anyi's first time to leave the exam, and she was young, so Aunt Chen naturally sent her to the examination room in person.
No matter how much Mrs. Yao San disliked her son, she did not dare to hold back at this time and gave him away obediently.
Mrs. Yao Er was pregnant and was afraid of being bumped into, so she didn't come, but Mr. Yao, Yao Anhong and Yao Anling all came.
"Relax, your goal is to answer all the questions you know." Yao Anhong patted Yao Anyi on the shoulder.
Yao Anyi nodded: "Yes!"
Yao Anling knew that the exam was a big deal, so she rarely "bullied" Yao Anyi, and even shook her fist at him: "Third cousin, come on! I have worshiped Wenquxing for you, you are the best!"
"Thank you!" Yao Anyi smiled, because this cousin usually didn't like to call him "cousin", but he didn't expect to call him so simply this time.
Just by calling Yao Anling "third cousin", he couldn't disappoint Yao Anling.
Because Yao Anhong had told Yao Anyi what the county exam was going to be like in advance, he was not surprised at all when he stood in the queue and was asked by soldiers to strip for inspection.
He was mentally prepared and didn't feel embarrassed, just a little embarrassed.
After all, it's still a little embarrassing to take off your clothes in front of so many people.
But fortunately, they took off their clothes while standing indoors, which saved the face of future scholars like them.
The weather in February is still a bit cold, but this is not the first time that the Yao family has been away from home, and everything that should be prepared for Yao Anyi has been prepared.
In addition, he often took exams when he was at Yao's Book School, and also simulated county and government exams, so that he could handle them with ease.
When Yao Anyi got the exam questions, he was a little surprised, because half of the questions looked "sounds familiar".
Thinking of the collection of past examination questions specially sent by Yaojia Bookstore, and the scope of questions that his husband and cousin Yao Anhong helped plan, he seemed to suddenly understand why Yao Anhong said that the most important thing in the county examination is not the attempt of knowledge, but the breadth.
Because these questions are indeed not in-depth, they are basically some basic knowledge.
However, if the study goes in the wrong direction, then the basics are no longer the basics, but become "side topics".
Yao Anyi is very lucky. Fortunately, he was born in the Yao family. Fortunately, there are so many people in front of him to protect him, otherwise...
Although the question looked familiar, Yao Anyi did not dare to be careless. He read the question carefully to avoid being "careless".
Write it in a draft first, and then copy it down after making sure it is correct.
Before I knew it, it got dark.
Only then did Yao Anyi feel that his hands and feet were a little cold. He quickly packed away the answers he had answered in the morning and checked them again. If there were no problems, he took the answer sheets and put them away.
After making sure that the water on the small stove was still warm, Yao Anyi poured a bowl, took out the medicinal powder he had prepared in advance, and drank a bowl with warm water.
The medicinal powder is to drive away cold, but he was afraid that it would be too cold today and he would catch wind chill in the examination room.
There was no way, it was cold in February, and it was impossible to wear quilted clothes during the exam, so I had to put on a few extra clothes.
Therefore, in addition to preparing more antifreeze items, you should also prepare cold-repelling medicine in advance.
After drinking a bowl of warm water, Yao Anyi felt alive and began to prepare food by himself.
At this time, Yao Anyi really admired the remarried old lady for her thoughtfulness - they said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but the old lady didn't have so many taboos and just let their children learn to cook like playing house.
Be self-reliant.
It seems quite embarrassing, but in the examination room, it is still very effective.
After all, you can only make food for yourself in the examination room. If you don't know how to do it, you can only eat cold and bad food.
If they could eat better, who would be willing to suffer this?
Therefore, when Yao Anyi was eating noodles from a hot bowl, he found that the candidate opposite was staring at him with jealous eyes and an angry look.
If you look closely, you will see that the man is holding a steamed bun that has been torn into shreds by the inspecting soldiers.
Yao Anyi: "..."
Although my noodles have also been pinched, the noodles are originally special thin noodles and are cooked. Just blanch them with hot water and they will be ready.
Although there is no meat, compared to others who can only eat pickles, crumbled pancakes and the like, his treatment is really very good.
After eating, Yao Anyi signaled to Brother Cha that he had to go to the latrine.
After coming out of the hut, Yao Anyi washed his hands with cold water from outside and returned to his examination booth.
Then he took out the quilt from the examination room and laid it out, and went to bed honestly regardless of whether the person next door was still working on the questions.
My eldest cousin Yao Anhong said that he can do the questions faster than the average person, so don’t worry about the exam, just make the bed and rest. Although there will be three days of rest after the exam, the exam room is not as good as home after all, so it is best to do whatever
How to find comfort? People are more important than exams.
"You are young and you are here to accumulate experience. You don't have to pass the exam. Relax your mind and take a good rest after you finish. If you pass, there will be another one waiting for you. If you don't take care of your spirit and body,
Okay, what about the next one?"
The examination room opposite: "..."
Depend on!
You fell asleep now?!
You don’t check anymore?!
Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable looking at the candlelight on his table.
He still has several more questions, otherwise, should he get up and do it again tomorrow?
At this moment, an exclamation came from an examination booth on the left. It seemed that a candle accidentally touched the candle and fell on the examination paper.
The invigilator was alerted and the man was pulled out directly.
"No, I don't want to go out, I still have to take the exam..."
