my grandmother

Chapter 2 Ala Xuedong is not easy

Li Xiaonan nodded at Mr. Gao with her head and her body, and plunged into the arms of the elder sister, looking so weak that she was about to faint.

"My brother is exhausted. I'll carry him home first, and let him talk to my husband in the evening." Li Jinzhu hurriedly picked up Li Xiaonan, carried him back and ran away.

"Go back and rest! Don't come here at night, let him rest well! Don't come here!" Mr. Gao followed Li Jinzhu a few steps and waved his hands.

Alas, this child Xuedong is really too thin and weak. He has worked too hard and wasted too much this time.Alas, it's really not easy for these siblings.

Mr. Gao looked at Li Jinzhu's patched and patched clothes, and Li Xuedong's thinness, and felt sad for a while, then walked back, and then waited for the two students.

Li Jinzhu carried Li Xiaonan on her back, and ran into the small firewood room behind the foot shop in one breath.

The second elder sister Li Yuzhu, who was sitting at the door of the firewood room mending clothes, jumped up and dropped all the old clothes on the floor.

Li Xuedong, who was dressed as Li Xiaonan, was sitting next to Li Yuzhu, with his head down, unpacking an old jacket, and was thrown backward by Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu rushed forward, but before she could hug Li Xiaonan, Li Jinzhu's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

"It's okay, nothing happened, everything went smoothly." Seeing that the second elder sister turned pale with fright, Li Xiaonan hurriedly explained.

Li Yuzhu groaned, and sat on the ground with limp legs, raising her hands to wipe off the cold sweat.

On this day, her heart was like being boiled in oil.

"Mister, didn't you recognize him?" Li Xuedong climbed up to Li Xiaonan, and asked with a suppressed voice.

"No." Li Xiaonan stretched her neck, looked left and right, pushed Li Xuedong into the firewood room, "Hurry up and change!"

Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu were in charge of each, and they combed their hair and changed their clothes very quickly. Li Xiaonan let out a long breath, "Okay, elder sister, look at it, and I will explain the exam questions to my brother."

Li Jinzhu took the needle and thread, sat at the door mending clothes, and watched the movement around her.Li Yuzhu went to the kitchen to boil water.

Li Xiaonan and Li Xuedong put their heads together, and carefully explained to Li Xuedong the topic of today's exam, how she thought about it when she wrote two articles and poems, what else she thought of, and the exam process.

After Li Xuedong understood it, he recited it until the dead of night, and recited two articles and one poem by heart.

....................................

On the second day, the rankings will be released in the morning, and the class numbers will be announced in the afternoon.

The sun had just risen, and two yamen servants came out beating the gong, and pasted a red list on the snow-white screen wall outside the gate of the county school.

Mr. Gao is a tall man, standing far away, passing the crowd, calmly watching the excitement in front of the screen wall.

He brought three students to the exam without any hope.

He knew the bottom line of his three students, none of them were particularly smart, and their academic performance was very mediocre, and none of them had ever been on the list in Gao Family Academy.

Mr. Gao was thinking about the things Zhi’s mother asked him to buy back again, when he suddenly heard someone calling Li Xuedong, he was stunned, and hurriedly looked at the two students and asked, “Is that Li Xuedong you called just now?”

The two students nodded together.

"I'll go and have a look!" Mr. Gao said, and ran forward with the front of his long gown.

After a while, Mr. Gao’s cap was crooked. Seeing two students, he didn’t say anything, so he laughed, “It’s really Xuedong, the sixth! It’s not easy, it’s not easy! Look for it, Xuedong Woolen cloth?"

Li Xuedong was sixth in the inner circle, and Mr. Gao's other two students were outside the outer circle.

Huang Xianzun posted a notice that if students outside the circle wanted to take the next few exams, they would all be allowed.

Li Xuedong's No. 6 greatly encouraged Mr. Gao, and Mr. Gao immediately decided to let the other two students follow along to the end of the exam.

In the afternoon, Huang Xianzun met with [-] students from the inner circle and [-] students from the outer circle in the hall of the county school.

According to the ranking, Li Xuedong stood in the first row.

Huang Xianzun did not ask random questions for random exams, but chose one article from each of the top ten Shiyi articles, and explained them in detail, what was good and what was not good, and it was extremely detailed.

Mr. Gao stood outside the lobby, stretched his neck, and listened in admiration.

Huang Xianzun is a serious and serious Jinshi in the second list, this level is high!

After talking about the ten ink scrolls, Huang Xianzun looked at the top ten one by one, walked up to Li Xuedong, stopped and said with a smile: "Li Xuedong, raise your head, don't be afraid."

Li Xuedong raised his head in fear, and looked at Huang Xianzun.

Huang Xianzun had deep wrinkles on his thin face, and his eyes were bright and gentle.

"You are a human being in this essay, you choose the mean, you explain it well, it's excellent! Take the exam well." Huang Xianzun smiled, patted Li Xuedong, and moved away.

Li Xuedong was relieved in one breath, only feeling a layer of cold sweat on his back.

When Huang Xianzun called him, he thought that Huang Xianzun had found out about Ah Nan taking the exam.

Taking a test is a felony!

The next day, the third test will be taken in half a day in the morning, and the fourth and fifth test will be taken in half a day in the afternoon.

For half a day in the morning, there is an article on Shiyi, an article on Confucianism, and more than a hundred words on silent laws and regulations.

In this exam, when handing in the papers, Li Xiaonan continued her principle of going with the crowd, not coming out, and immediately threw herself into the arms of the eldest sister Li Jinzhu.

Mr. Gao looked at the real and fake Xuedong with great concern and love, and kept urging Li Jinzhu to carry Xuedong back quickly. There was still an hour and a half before the exam in the afternoon, so that Xuedong could sleep for a while. Sleep.

In the afternoon, there are two sessions of one hour each. There is no limit to Shiwen, Poems, Confucianism, and Parallel Prose. You can choose one article for each session, and then silently listen to the first two sentences of the law in the morning.

In the fourth round, Li Xiaonan chose a contemporary essay, and in the fifth round she chose a five-character and eight-rhyme poem.After the exam, he fled back to the foot store, lying on Li Jinzhu's back, looking exhausted and exhausted.

　After half a year of rest, I am full of energy and start a new article!
　　It is regularly updated at 8 o'clock every night. This book is going to be updated regularly to the conclusion on the basis of continuous updates. Please encourage me!
　　………………

　　This article continues to refer to the Northern Song Dynasty as the basic background, but there must be many changes due to the text, so there is no need to be too serious.

　　Most of the imperial examinations in this chapter are from the "Records of Imperial Examinations in the Qing Dynasty" published by the Palace Museum Publishing House. This book contains many details of the imperial examinations.

　　The scientific examination, starting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was basically finalized in the Song Dynasty, and the general framework was basically unchanged after that, but the details, such as the scope of the examination questions, must have been changing.

　　It's just for reference, don't need to go into details.

　　After all, Xiao Xian is writing entertainment novels, not textual research papers, right?

　　Finally, ask for tickets!
