"I see what you mean." Eleven Niang moved the Kang Table on the big Kang near the window, and sat side by side with Xu Sijie, "although your father and I have food and clothing, and your brother takes care of me, you still want to do your best."

"Yes, yes!" Xu Si Jie even nodded, his eyes lit up, "that's what I mean!"

"Have you ever thought about it? What do you do to me and your father?" Eleven Niang looked at him gently.

"So, I want to take a scientific examination." Xu Sijie's voice was very low, and he seemed a little embarrassed, "in this way, I can find a job. If you have a job, you will get a salary. You can buy something for your mother. "

If Xu Si Jie was so angry that he could get a test of a whole person or a Jinshi, even if he was not an official, he would be a successful person in the eyes of the world. It would be a good thing to see the official sitting flat and tax-free.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: "if you want to be an official in the imperial examination, you have to be a Jinshi. If you want to be a Jinshi, you have to be promoted first. If you want to be promoted, you have to test the scholar. As for the scholar, I have to take the exam three times. The first was called County examination, the second was government examination, and the third was hospital examination. Among them, there are four county examinations. The first and the second are all about one article and one poem. The third one is about a Fu and a poem. Sometimes, they will test a strategy and a theory. In the fourth interview, I will talk about three or four arts... " She told Xu Sijie about the examination process.

Hearing this, Xu Sijie was excited: "mother, as long as I learn the poems and songs first, I can pass the county test?"

"Yes Eleven Niang says with a smile, "the house also starts from the foundation, brick by brick. The same is true of this scientific examination. First of all, we should learn from the county test, and after we have passed the examination, we will take the government test and the hospital test. "

"Well!" Xu Si Jie got up a little excitedly, and walked up and down in front of the eleven niangs, "in this way, as long as I follow my teacher's instructions, I can go to the county test!"

"Not bad!" Eleven Niang said with a smile, "however, it's not easy to pass the county test..."

Before she finished her words, Xu Sijie had already turned and pulled the sleeve of Shiniang: "mother, don't worry, I will go through the hardships and taste the gall, and hang the beam and stab the stock..."

Eleven Niang laughed.

Although I don't know what the result will be, Xu Sijie has such determination at this time, so don't beat his confidence for the time being.

"You can tell Mr. Zhao about it." She thought for a while and exhorted, "Mr. Zhao is a person who has participated in the scientific examination and has experience. If he knows your plan, he will be able to point you out on your homework, and you will be more confident to take part in the county examination at that time... "

Mother and son are talking here. Brother Jin has finished painting red. He sits there idly, turning over a travel note that eleven Niang has left under the Kang Table, quietly looking for the words he can recognize.

Ah Jin brought cherries in: "six young masters, what are they talking about?"

"Oh Jin Ge'er Yan Yan said, "tell me about a man going to Putuo Mountain to offer incense."

Seeing that he was not in a high mood, ah Jin wanted to amuse him. Seeing him reading books there, ah Jin approached him and said, "it's a pilgrimage! I heard from Huang's mother in the outer courtyard that there were temple fairs on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and women from small families would wear beautiful clothes and go to the temple to offer incense together. It's exciting. Since this man talked about his going to the temple fair, it must be interesting. Six young master, tell me what this man said

Jin elder brother son knows the word is not enough for him to understand what is written in the book. Seeing ah Jin's eyes looking at him eagerly, he felt a little weak, but he was not willing to show his ignorance in front of ah Jin: "Oh, that is to say, he went to Guanyin's Taoist temple of Putuo Mountain!" After that, he opened the book and pointed to the words in the book and said, "look, it says" Mahavira hall. "It says" Nanwu Guanyin ". It says" green shade smashes the ground " That is to say, in the summer, he Putuo Mountain offered incense to GuanShiYin Bodhisattva! "

"Yes, yes." Ah Jin saw that the words of brother Jin could be read together, and he looked at him with honor, "young master, after all, followed Mr. Qi Meng. Such a thick book knows what to write."

Jin elder brother son some uneasily avoided her eyes, turned to pick up a cherry and threw it into his mouth.

Ah Jin stared at the book and muttered, "young master, where is Putuo Mountain? Why have I never heard of it? Is it farther than the west mountain She has been in the West Mountain since she was a child.

Jin elder brother son also did not hear.

"Not necessarily!" Jin elder brother son's brain quickly turns, "this person says he is riding a donkey to go. If it is far away, you should take a carriage or go to TongZhou by boat. It's not very far. " "Maybe not famous, so we haven't heard of it," he guessed

"What the young master said is reasonable." Ah Jin nodded his head seriously. "I heard from mother du that our great lady once went to Huashan for incense, and you often go out to see the world with Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Du. Even you have never heard of it. It can be seen that Putuo Mountain is not famous."

Xu Lingyi, who has come to find eleven Niang, is standing at the door. She can't listen.

What a mess.

How to be like those ignorant women in the streets!He frowned and coughed gently.

The people in the study immediately heard the news.

"Daddy

"Marquis!"

One of them ran over in high spirits, and one bowed his knees.

"Why are you here?" Jin Ge'er took Xu Lingyi's hand and went into the study, pointing to the Shu brocade on the wall, "how nice? It's a birthday gift from my fourth brother. "

"Very nice!" Xu Lingyi glanced and perfunctorily said, "what did you give your mother?" Then he said, "what about your mother? How can I leave you here alone? Don't you say that you want to paint it in the afternoon? "

"I gave my mother an ivory fan!" Jin elder brother smile some complacent, "Niang can like, put it next to the pillow." Then he ran to show his father his red painting, "I've done it for a long time." "His mother and five brothers are talking next door," he said

Xu Lingyi saw that the characters were described neatly and neatly, and his head was slightly gnarled: "did you let the back of the book, sir?"

"It's a long time ago." Jin elder brother son said, shaking his head to recite the content to Xu Lingyi.

Very fluent.

Xu Lingyi took a few sentences.

The answer was clear, and a lot of comments were made.

It can be seen that these things that Mr. Zhao taught him were easy for him to master.

"Now that you've finished your homework, why don't you go out and play?" Xu Lingyi picked up ah Jinfeng's tea with satisfaction and took a sip.

"Mother said, let me not run around." Jin elder brother son some depressed way, "can Niang speak with five elder brothers. I'll tell my mother when they've finished speaking. " "Dad, I tell you, my dog is going to have a puppy. When it gets off the dog, I'll give one to the third cousin of the Yu family, another to Ji Ting, and one to Mrs. Gantai... "

Xu Lingyi looked at her son's face, which made him look so excited when he talked about something he liked, and thought of the way he had just pulled his head

Since eleven Niang taught Jin elder brother son a lesson severely, Jin elder brother son is to become very obedient, the temper is much better, also understand a lot, did not have the old domineering, but also a few points let him appreciate the spirit.

"Brother Jing," he said, "do you want to ride a horse with your father?"

Jin elder brother son's eye is bright, but show a bit hesitant immediately.

"Dad," he glanced at ah Jin standing by the corner of his eye and whispered to Xu Lingyi, "I don't want to go riding now. Can you tell me where Putuo Mountain is

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

Then he burst into laughter.

"Good!" While holding Jin elder brother's son, he told ah Jin and others, "you don't have to follow me. If the lady asked, she would say that I was in the study with the sixth young master. "

******

Xu Lingyi took out a red sandalwood box from the warm Pavilion behind the study, and carefully opened the map of Jiuzhou hidden in the box, and laid it on the large book case of huanglimu.

"See, the black thick lines above are rivers, the shallower lines are roads, the sharp ones are mountains, the one after another like clouds are lakes, and the other like fish scales are the sea You see, there are a group of small islands along the coast, and Putuo Mountain is among them. Together with Mt. Wutai, Mt. Emei and Mt. Jiuhua, it is known as the four holy places of Zen. "

Jin elder brother son's small face then changed.

Xu Lingyi looked funny, but did not nod, pointing to the other mountains to brother Jing.

"Putuo Mountain is in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province..." He pointed to a small spot not far from Zhoushan, "that's Yuhang." At this point, the corner of his mouth cocked up a little, "your grandfather's house is here. Your mother grew up here. I came to Beijing when I was 13 years old... "

Jin elder brother son looks at how tongue: "good small ah!"

"It's one to one hundred thousand." "This is Yanjing, this is Yuhang. But from Yanjing to Yuhang, it takes more than a month. "

Jin elder brother son excites: "Daddy, daddy, where is TongZhou?"

"You can find it yourself." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "didn't I just tell you how to recognize the map?"

Jin elder brother son lies on the big book case to look for.

In this era, the map is a treasure that can't be bought with money. What's more, the map in Xu Lingyi's hand is used for military purposes, which is more accurate and clearly marked than ordinary maps. He always liked it. When he left office, he pretended that he didn't know what to do, so the Deputy generals naturally pretended to be deaf and dumb. The military officials did not dare to say anything in front of Xu Lingyi, and murmured in front of those aides, but no one paid attention to it. The matter ended in this way. Xu Lingyi has kept this map in her study.

"Dad," very quickly, Jin brother son pointed to one of the small points, "TongZhou!"

Xu Lingyi was a little surprised.

"It takes only two days for Tongzhou to get to Yanjing," Jing elder brother was a little proud, "just look around Yanjing!""Good, good!" Xu Lingyi was very relieved.

Jin brother-in-law on the map: "to Yuhang to walk more than a month, Yuhang to Zhoushan so long Then, from Yanjing to Putuo, don't you go for more than two months? "

Not everyone can understand the map.

Xu Lingyi raised her eyebrows and looked at her son with more solemnity.
