What kind of wife do you want to find in the future?
After hearing this question, Zhu Ping'an turned his attention to the sinister girl Li Shu with burning eyes, and stayed there for about two or three seconds.
Mink fur dress, charming and charming.
When Li Shu was looking a little shy when Zhu Pingan looked at her, Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu, raised the corners of his lips and spoke in a joking way:
"You don't have to be too beautiful, you don't have to be too smart, you don't have to be unruly and willful, you don't have to be messy, you have to be gentle and virtuous, you have to be considerate and caring, you have to"
Every time Zhu Ping'an said something, Li Shu's charming face became colder.
"There are so many demands, it's better to be a monk!"
Li Shu had a dark face, made a mess of the chess pieces on the chessboard, and lost his temper inexplicably.
Then
Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu with curious eyes and said that he was talking nonsense, why is this girl so excited?!
"Ahem, I wanted to introduce my maid to you, but I didn't expect you to be a bad choice. Humph, you didn't even look in the mirror yourself. You thought this was too much, and you didn't know a good heart.
!”
Li Shu noticed Zhu Pingan's curious eyes and realized that she had lost control of her emotions. Her face flushed slightly, but she confidently placed all the responsibilities on Zhu Pingan and vented her anger naturally.
"Don't worry, I will find my own daughter-in-law myself, so you won't have to worry about it anymore!" Zhu Pingan shook his head and thanked her.
"You're so old!" Li Shu, a sinister girl, glared hard at Zhu Ping'an, and her expression seemed even worse.
This girl must have forgotten to take her medicine.
"Three games just now, um. Just think that I won two games, as we agreed before. I'm going to find my two books." Zhu Pingan stood up, said lightly, and walked to the bookshelf.
go.
"Just take it as it is, that's what it is." Li Shu pouted unhappily.
Zhu Ping'an just glanced at Li Shu with a childish look like he was looking at a kitten pulling a ball of wool, then shook his head slightly and turned around and walked towards the bookshelf.
When Zhu Pingan walked to the bookshelf, he heard the voice of the scheming girl losing her temper, as if she was lecturing a certain little maid. It was really a privilege of a feudal hierarchical society.
"Come here, are you blind? Didn't you see that the chess piece fell to the ground? Didn't you know that my father made this chess piece for me out of ivory? You can't even buy one if I sell it!"
Then there was the timid and apologetic voice of the little maid Nuonuo. The voice was a bit unfamiliar. It was not the little maid Baozi, but probably a lower-level maid. She was almost made to cry by the sinister girl Li Shu.
"Hey, why are you crying? Did I wrong you?" The sinister girl was aggressive.
"No, I'm sorry, miss." The little maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground for fear that her miss would lose her temper again.
She is such a naughty little girl, as unlovable as she was when she was a child.
Zhu Ping'an curled his lips, selected a book he needed from the bookshelf, and then continued to browse through it. He found six books one after another, all of which were about eight-part essays and policy theory. The Li Shu family has a lot of books, most of which can be said to be hundreds of books.
More than ninety percent of them were imperial examination books. Zhu Pingan became the biggest beneficiary of the Li family's study. In many cases, Zhu Pingan was still full of gratitude to the Li family.
"Hey Zhu Pingan, when are you going to try it out?"
Li Shu, who was teaching the little maid over there, asked with a sullen face when she saw Zhu Ping'an had chosen a book.
"It's almost here. I originally wanted to wait until my brother got married before going there, but after reading some previous experiences, I found that there's not enough time. From now on, we're going to the capital, which is thousands of miles away. We probably have to leave in a few days."
Zhu Pingan put the book on the desk, leaned over to register the books, and replied calmly.
The Enke Township Examination started in early March, and now it is more than December. There is only about March left, and there is not much time.
There is no comparison between ancient times and modern times. The ancients traveled with two animals and three cars at a time, and there were boats on the rivers. However, it is winter now, and the rivers and lakes are frozen. Boats are blocked, so they can only use two animals and three cars at a time. In the past few days, Yesterday, Zhu Ping asked someone to inquire, but he had yet to find out about the convoy going from Kaoshan Town or Huaining County to the capital. Since the snow started, most of the convoys had stopped.
You can probably only walk.
It is about 1,200 miles from my home to the capital, and it cannot be a straight line distance, so it is only a little more. Fortunately, building bridges and paving roads is considered a significant political achievement of local officials. For the sake of political achievements, local officials in various places have built roads for their predecessors. It is difficult for future generations to succeed, so every official has done it. There are quite a lot of roads from home to the capital, but there are very few official roads; however, there are still quite a lot of journeys through remote and wild mountain roads.
There are a few things you should pay attention to when going to Beijing to take the exam. First, you should basically prepare dry food to eat. The heavier you carry, the slower the journey; second, there are big insects and beasts and robbers. Although it is a peaceful day, you still have to be on guard; third, you have to find a way to rest at sunset. It's a good place to go. I'm going to Beijing to take the exam, so I think I can stay at the inns. However, the inns are set up by the government, with three to five guest rooms, and the Luoma Hotel. There are more in the metropolitan areas, Jinkou, and thoroughfares. Generally, the inns are in counties and prefectures. Rare. Therefore, when there is no inn, you have to consider staying in folk houses, temples, inns, etc.
As the saying goes, everything is fine at home, but everything is difficult when going out!
Considering the above situation, it is estimated that I can travel 30 miles a day, which is considered good. If I catch a carriage, I can travel about 50 miles a day. However, if there are any unexpected things on the road, it will take a long time. I have been traveling for months. When you arrive in the capital, you have to rest for a few days and review for a few days before the exam. You have to set aside time.
Due to the distance and various uncertainties, I had to leave for the capital earlier.
"So fast?" The sinister girl Li Shu seemed a little surprised.
"What, is something wrong?" After Zhu Ping'an registered the books, he looked at Li Shu.
"No, no." Li Shu flattened her mouth and her face was slightly red.
"Zhu Ping'an, what are you taking the test for? Are you taking the No. 1 exam?" Hua'er, the little maid of Baozi on the other side, couldn't help but interjected and asked. She was really curious.
"Stupid girl, he took the examination for the general examination. After passing the examination, he is called a 'Gongshi'. The Gongshi then goes to take the palace examination. In the palace examination, the top three will be awarded the Jinshi. The first place will be the number one scholar, and the second place will be the second place. , the third place is Tanhua; the second place is given to Jinshi origin, the first place is generally called Chuanlu; the third place is given to the same Jinshi background."
Hua'er, the little maid with a bun face, had just finished asking, when she was hit on the forehead by Li Shu, the sinister girl next to her.
"Isn't that the exam for the number one scholar?" Hua'er, the little maid with a bun face, covered her forehead and looked at her young lady with an aggrieved look, very puzzled.
"You are so stupid." The sinister girl rolled her eyes.
"Miss, where am I stupid?" Hua'er, the little maid with a bun face, was puzzled. (To be continued...)
