What an unlovable stinky girl!
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly and turned his attention 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 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 Pingan 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 looking forward to Zhu Pingan coming to borrow books. Every time I come to borrow and return books, I just need to bring some snacks and delicacies, and Zhu Ping'an can tell a story for a while, whether it's about gods and monsters or martial arts. However, this kid is very picky, so he brings it every time. Snacks and delicacies are always what he likes, and Hua'er is always the most positive, so it's funny to hear 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 Pingan'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? In a few months, he will be a boy. 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 Tongzi Examination, is commonly known as the Examination for Scholars. It is divided into three stages: the "County Examination", the "Prefectural Examination" and the "College Examination". County examinations are held in each county and are presided over by the county magistrate. This court is usually held in February every year, with five consecutive exams. After passing the exam, there will be a government examination presided over by government officials, which will be held in April with three consecutive exams. Those who pass the county or government examinations can be called "tongsheng" and participate in the college examinations hosted by the provincial academic administration or academic education. Those who pass the college examination are called students (scholars). The first place in the provincial examination is 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, the uncle took the imperial examination twice more. As before, he failed. The halberd sank into the sand. In a few months, it will be another boy's test that is held every three years, and the uncle will certainly participate. There are rumors that the uncle threatens to pass this time.
As for whether Zhu Pingan will participate this time...
"Is the boy taking the 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 cannot 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 the boy should go and experience the imperial examination, learn from the experience, and not panic when taking the test in the future. Haha, the boy is just a do-it-yourselfer, just to learn from the experience of failure..."
Zhu Ping'an thought for a moment, then recounted the words of his mentor, Old Master Sun, and smiled to himself at the end.
Candidates who want to take the Boy's Examination must register at the county's office and fill in their name, place of origin, age, and resume of three generations. Children who apply for the exam must have five co-guarantors who are taking the exam, and a local student from the county as a guarantor, who will issue a guarantee bond, which is called "guaranteed". Zhu Ping'an's mentor, Mr. Sun, was a junior student who had the qualifications to be a guarantor. He was not prepared to let Zhu Ping'an go at first, but one of the five original guarantors left to observe filial piety. One person was missing, so Mr. Sun added Zhu Ping'an. . There was no hope that Zhu Ping'an would 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 be unless 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 scheming 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 Pingan just smiled lightly.
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 annotation by Su Shi and the annotation by Su Shi are two versions. The book "The Doctrine of the Mean" selected by Zhu Pingan this time was 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, the sinister girl refused to let Zhu Pingan leave, insisting on telling a story. No books are allowed to be borrowed without telling a story.
People under the eaves had to lower their heads, and 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 she offended Baozi's maid Hua'er and had no snacks to eat. The dark girl deliberately asked the kitchen to make hot shabu-shabu, thinly sliced mutton, fish and vegetables, and spread it all over the table. She 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 lightly.
Wipe saliva
Hearing this, the girls who were eating shabu-shabu burst into 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.";
