green bamboo dream

On the day when Chunwei began on the ninth day of February, the entire capital seemed to speed up its pace and fell into some kind of strange commotion. 【26nbsp;】Because all the Juren and Gongsheng students from all over the country gathered in the capital, all the innkeepers laughed heartily. Poor scholars and "rich" Juren are the best tenants.Elegant and courteous, clean and tidy, and almost not reckless about the rent, more than one innkeeper regrets that he will try to hold it only once every three years, and the time is only from the ninth day of February to the fifteenth day of February, which is too short.

Also happy are the parents and elders of various families in the capital. Who doesn't have a baby girl? People from ordinary families naturally hope to find a well-matched Gongsheng student.After all, who doesn't want their daughter to have a good home, and if they want to get ahead, they have to marry high. Which of the rich and powerful families in the capital is not a thief today, but Gongsheng is different. Except for the children cultivated by big families, most of them rely on their intelligence. And those who studied hard to get ahead, their family background is not much better, but they are definitely better than those dudes who only know how to fight and run dogs. If anyone has a good eye and a quick hand, they will be settled first.Maybe this prospective son-in-law will pass the exam all the way, pass the palace exam, and instantly change from the ruled class to the ruling class.No wonder these small families value it so much, there have been precedents before.

The Sheng family in the east of the city was originally a small family that was not well-known. Only one person donated a ninth-rank official to barely keep the plaque in front of the door from changing from "Sheng Mansion" to "Sheng House".However, such a family did not know how many families were envied during the Spring Festival in the ninth year of Minghui. They only supported a poor tribute student whose parents died and did not even have a book boy, and the ancestor showed his spirit and recruited him as his son-in-law. . In the palace examination, he was also number one in the emperor's heart.This requires good knowledge - read a lot, quick thinking - a smart mind can not be a nerd who is dead on reading, but also very good-looking - in order not to lose the face of the court, this requirement is too high, you have to read so many books, If you don't read stupid, you should snicker, and look handsome.It is not enough to emit green smoke from the ancestral grave, it is necessary to breathe fire.So at that time, the entire upper class society in the capital was shocked by it, and Emperor Ming Hui was also very happy with the dragon's heart, and he valued it very much.With this son-in-law, the Sheng family became the most wealthy family in the capital.

Since then, every year, Chunwei has become the best stage for choosing a son-in-law. Even some famous families will keep their eyes open and pick a few Gongsheng students to invest.The emperor was very satisfied, and it was also a peace of mind, lest the marriages of the various families would become monolithic, which would be very unsettling.

On the eighth day of February, the son-in-law was selected early, and the rest was just praying. Even ordinary people in the capital could feel the tense and depressing atmosphere.Yuzhu thinks that the modern college entrance examination is just a child's play compared with this one. The college entrance examination determines the fate. Opportunity is also the most difficult hurdle. After all, the palace test is just a formality. As long as you don't run out of ink, it's not a big problem.

As a result, the temples near the capital were overcrowded, and devout family members kowtowed and burned incense everywhere. Some people even kowtowed step by step, their foreheads were bruised, and they were so dizzy that they couldn't walk and refused to leave. It seemed that as long as they were in the temple, they would be blessed by the Buddha It is really embarrassing to be able to get what you want.

Yuzhu also wanted to offer incense with the Cui family, and the place where the officials and family members were received was not at the same place as the ordinary people, which once again proved that the equality of all beings that Buddha said could not exist in reality.Cui Shi knelt in front of the exquisite altar, praying sincerely.Although Yuzhu doesn't believe in the power of ghosts and gods like in her previous life, she still believes in her brother's ability even more. She just went outside to watch the fun after a short obeisance, which made Cui grab her white jade-like ears and laugh and scold, "He has no conscience." little things".

Going back in the evening is another toss. There will be three nine-day exams, not only knowledge, but also endurance. Gong students and supervising students cannot come out within three days of entering the Gong Yuan unless they hand in their papers.Fortunately, Lin Yuanzhi had experienced it himself, and with his guidance, Cui's panic was slightly stopped.

When Maoshi just arrived, thousands of tribute students at the gate of the Gongyuan entered the Gongyuan one by one with lanterns.In order to prevent cheating, every Gongsheng must be searched carefully from top to bottom. No piece of paper or words can be brought in, only books and lamps can be brought in, and each person will be given three candles. After entering, the number door will be closed immediately. Lock, examinees answer questions in it, and rest in it at night. Yu Zhu once served as a temporary tour guide of the Gongyuan in the previous life, and she understands it best. There are tens of thousands of rooms in the Gongyuan, called number rooms, five feet long and four feet wide. Eight feet tall, the small ones can only be curled up for people to sleep in. At that time, she still sympathized with these poor scholars. They were so weak that they had to suffer so much. But the world is unpredictable, and she actually wanted to send her own brother to take the exam , It's really God's will.

Yu Zhu thought about what to do by herself when eating inside, but she was really worried about her brother's cooking skills, and there was no berberine to save her stomach if she ate badly.Then he rushed to his own small kitchen, where Mama Zhong and Mama Yu were still in charge, put aside Yu Zhu's worries, and said with a smile: "Miss, are you going to make some cooked food for the second young master to bring in? But it's been a long time. It will be broken, but not beautiful."

"Hey, of course I know this. Let's see if I can make some small snacks. They should be light and durable, and the ingredients should be put firmly. Is it convenient to make them the size of a thumb, one bite at a time?"

Seeing that Yuzhu's enthusiasm was so high, Mother Zhong couldn't refute, so she just smiled and persuaded: "Let's ask Mrs. Madam first."

Lin Yuanzhi was telling his son about his own experience. Hearing the younger daughter's worries, he couldn't help being happy. He pulled Yuzhu over, pinched the little hairpin on her head, and then glanced at the embarrassed eldest son. He smiled and said: "Silly girl, I just put the rice and water together to cook, what's wrong with it, it was the first time Daddy cooked, and nothing happened, and you are not allowed to bring other things. The note inside the snack was discovered, and the qualification for the examination was subsequently disqualified."

Suddenly, Yuzhu got an idea, and hurriedly tugged on Lin Yuanzhi's sleeve: "Daddy, what if it's in powder form?" The more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt: "The cook in Qingzhou made a snack called Fried wheat flour, once made into a big jar, when eating, just boil it with boiling water, add sugar, it will be very sweet, why don’t you make some for your brother and take it there.”

Mrs. Cui was obviously very careful, and felt that her daughter's worry was very reasonable, so she hurriedly urged: "Master, is it okay to bring it?" Lin Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It's in powder form, it should be checked if there is no note inside. no problem."

Cui Shi was so happy that she quickly stood up, but Yu Zhu was a step ahead of her, took her hand and ran to the kitchen, asking, "Mother, is there any wheat at home?"

Seeing the two walking out with the wind under their feet, Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Zongyan looked at each other and smiled, and patted their son on the shoulder. Lin Yuanzhi showed a rare gentle smile: "Take a good exam."

Lin Zongyan's handsome face was calm, but there was a warm smile that couldn't be concealed in his long and narrow black eyes.
