Chapter 67 The toad also wants the imperial examination
What an unlovable stinky girl!
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly and turned his gaze away from the sinister girl Li Shu, no longer paying attention to this girl who was spoiled by her family. Then he saw Baozi's maid Hua'er still staring at him with curiosity and admiration.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"I watched the sky at night and calculated with my fingers that it will snow today."
Zhu Pingan dusted off the snowflakes on his body and answered the questions asked by Baozi's maid Hua'er just now as seriously as a stickman.
Baozi's maid, Hua'er, blinked her eyes with confusion on her face.
"Idiot Hua'er, what he wrote was 'It's snowing today' and he told you to open it only when it snows. Can you deny it?" Li Shu couldn't help but stretched out her delicate hand and tapped Baozi's maid's forehead.
Baozi's maid Hua'er touched her forehead in grievance and thought for a long time. Then she suddenly raised her head and suddenly realized, puffed up her cheeks, glared at Zhu Pingan and said, "Oh, it turns out that I have been fooled by a bad guy like you again!"
Zhu Ping'an looked away and couldn't help but laugh.
"You bad guy, I won't give you anything to eat today!" Baozi's maid Hua'er said angrily.
The old woman behind the sinister girl Li Shu and the other little maids all laughed. There were no entertainment programs in ancient times, so these people were still looking forward to Zhu Pingan coming to borrow books. Every time he came to borrow and return books, he only needed to bring some snacks and delicious food.
It's Zhu Ping'an's turn to tell a story, whether it's about gods, spirits, monsters or martial arts. However, this kid is very picky. However, every time Hua'er brings snacks and delicacies, he always hits his liking, and Hua'er always
The most positive person, so I found it funny when I heard Hua'er complaining about not giving him anything to eat.
The study room of Rich Man Li's house is very elegant and spacious, and has a rich collection of books. Every time there is a book that attracts Zhu Ping'an's attention.
There was a Whitebeard accountant taking care of the study. Zhu Pingan entered the study and returned the books he borrowed last time from the schoolbag he carried with both hands. After being inspected by the Whitebeard accountant, he could go in and select the borrowed books this time.
.
"Well, Brother An is a book lover. How about it? He will be a boy in a few months. Do you want to go out and try your skills?" Whitebeard asked jokingly after checking that the books were in good condition.
The Tongzi Examination, also known as the Children's Examination and commonly known as the Examination for Scholars, is divided into three stages: "County Examination", "Fufu Examination" and "Yuan Examination". The County Examination is held in each county and is presided over by the county magistrate. This dynasty is usually held in February every year
, take five consecutive exams. After passing the exam, there will be a government exam presided over by government officials. It will be held in April and take three consecutive exams. Those who pass the county and government exams can be called "tongsheng" and participate in the provincial academic administration or academic Taoist examinations.
He presided over the college examination. Those who passed the college examination were called students (xiucai). The first place in the provincial examination was called Jieyuan.
Zhu Ping'an's uncle passed the county and government examinations and got the title of Tongsheng, but he never passed the college examination. Since Zhu Ping'an's family was divided, his uncle took the imperial examination twice more. As before, he failed.
The halberd fell into the sand. In a few months, it will be another boy's test that is held every three years. Of course, the uncle will still participate. There are rumors that the uncle threatened to pass this time.
As for whether Zhu Pingan will participate this time...
"What about the boy's exam? Well, it seems that my mentor said a few days ago that he was not planning to let the boy go. It's just that a senior brother is staying at home and can't take part in the scientific examination. To apply for the exam, five people must co-sponsor the exam, so there is a shortage of one place.
My teacher said that I want you to experience the imperial examination and learn from the experience, so that you won’t panic when taking the exam in the future. Haha, I just want to make up for it, just to learn from the experience of failure..."
Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment, then recounted the words of his mentor Sun Laofuzi again, and smiled at himself at the end.
Candidates who take the Children's Examination must register at the county's office and fill in their name, place of origin, age, and resume of three generations. Students who apply for the Children's Examination must have five co-sponsors from the same examination and a local student from the county as a guarantor.
, the issuance of a guarantee bond is called "acknowledgment of guarantee". Zhu Pingan's mentor, Mr. Sun, was a junior student who was qualified as a guarantee. At first, he was not prepared to let Zhu Pingan go, but one of the five people who originally acted as guarantee went to observe filial piety.
There was one person missing, so Mr. Sun added Zhu Pingan. He didn't even expect Zhu Pingan to pass the exam, he was just a make-up.
"Hey, toads are still self-aware. If a bad boy like you, who specializes in deceiving little girls with his talk, can pass the exam, it will not be until the sun comes out in the west. If you ask me, saying that you make up the numbers is just flattering you. Only Wenquxing can pass the exam.
Come on, you are just a toad."
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the scheming girl Li Shu who followed behind started to mock him.
After the sinister girl Li Shu finished speaking, she started laughing looking at Zhu Ping'an's dazed look, and then all the old ladies and maids behind her started laughing at him.
Although the words of the sinister girl made me a little unhappy, it was also pleasing to see so many girls laughing in front of me.
Zhu Ping'an just smiled faintly at this.
Then he went to the study room to pick out the books he needed. Because the exam was about to take place, Zhu Ping'an generally chose books on the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight-legged Prose. Ancient imperial examinations also had textbooks. Don't think that the Four Books and Five Classics are all the same. Zhu Xi did
The annotations by Su Shi and the annotations by Su Shi are two versions. The book "The Doctrine of the Mean" selected by Zhu Pingan this time is annotated by Zhu Xi.
You can only borrow one book at a time
This rule came from the mouth of the sinister girl Li Shu who just laughed at him. Rich Man Li wanted to pamper her to the sky, so he naturally nodded and set this rule.
Borrowing a good book, but the sinister girl wouldn't let Zhu Ping'an leave, and had to tell a story. She was not allowed to borrow the book without telling a story.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads, so Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to continue the story of The Eight Parts of the Dragon that he had not finished last time.
The little maids and old ladies also moved the stools and chairs with ease, took out snacks, and sat in a row.
This time I offended Baozi's maid Hua'er, and she didn't have any snacks to eat. However, the dark girl deliberately asked the kitchen to make hot shabu-shabu, thinly sliced mutton, fish, and vegetables. She spread the table and greeted Hua'er and several others.
The two little maids gathered around the table together, listening to stories and cooking mutton hot pot, and even deliberately smacked their lips, making Zhu Pingan salivate.
On a snowy day, shabu-shabu seems to be the best choice.
Zhu Ping'an didn't know how many times he had to swallow his saliva. He couldn't bear it anymore and started to discuss with Hua'er: "Miss Hua'er..."
Baozi maid Hua'er's mouth was stuffed with mutton. She looked at Zhu Pingan and waved her hands, muttering, "Don't think about it, I won't give you anything to eat this time."
"No, I don't want to eat. Please give me a handkerchief." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
"What are you doing?"
Hua'er asked in confusion.
"When I see you eating, wipe your saliva..."
Zhu Pingan glanced at them and said calmly.
Wipe saliva
Hearing this, the girls surrounding the shabu-shabu let out a string of laughter like silver bells.
"Look at your worthless appearance. You still want to take the imperial examination. I have never seen any Wenquxing star be so worthless!" The sinister girl Li Shu rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an in disgust, and was very disdainful of his worthlessness, "You
The sound of swallowing is so unpleasant!”
Speaking of this, the sinister girl pointed at an old woman and said, "Go and ask the cook to bring a pot."
