Chapter 154: The Forgotten Man
On the seventh day of the second lunar month, when the disciples asked for peace in the morning, Zhao Hao asked them, how were the exam equipment prepared?
"Master, don't worry, during the period of retreat with your master, the disciples have broken their hearts for these unconscious guys, and they are all ready......" Wang Wuyang immediately smiled and said.
"It's just that it's ready, it's a lot of nonsense......" Hua Shuyang muttered quietly.
"It's getting more and more like a eunuch." Wang Dingjue also echoed softly.
The rest of the junior brothers laughed when they ate and laughed, they didn't dare to make fun of the senior brother like the second senior brother and the third senior brother.
"We'll see." Zhao Hao is really a little worried about whether these nerds who can't take care of themselves will lose their lives.
But then again, I don't know what to do with the person who is served by a nerd who can't take care of himself? Vegetative?
Everyone accompanied Zhao Hao to the west treasury, which was the place where Yu Shensi pouted and listened to Zhao Shizhen's lecture.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Hao saw seven wooden exam boxes with the same style.
Although softwood is used for lightweightness, and expensive hardwood is not used, the design and production of the test case are very exquisite. The four corners are decorated with openwork bronze ornaments, the front and back sides are painted with elegant landscape paintings, and there is a delicate copper lock on the door.
It was like a large suitcase in later generations, which could be used as a stool for candidates to sit on while they were waiting. And under each test box, there are four iron wheels, which can be dragged by ropes.
To make it easier to distinguish, seven colors were used for the seven ropes. Not surprisingly, they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple......
"This is the exam box that Shizhen helped us build." The senior brother said, patted Zhao Shizhen's head and said:
"Shizhen has helped a lot this time, and I have never seen such a beautiful and exquisite examination box."
"Uh-huh, that's good." The exam-takers unanimously gave praise, and even Yu Shensi and Zhang Jian, who did not take the exam, were also full of praise.
Zhao Shizhen made them embarrassed to boast: "Time is too rushed, it can only be done to this extent......"
Hearing that they were all full of praise, Zhao Hao asked Hua Shuyang to open his exam box with great interest.
I saw that it was divided into three layers, with a large drawer at the top and bottom, and two small drawers on the middle floor. When I opened the top one, I saw that there were tops, curtains, nails, and hammers neatly stacked inside...... After entering the venue, pick up the utensils in the room. There are also a number of brushes, ink cartridges, and double copies of the pressing ring, as well as roll bags, pencil cases, emergency medicines, windproof candlesticks and candles...... They are all placed in different small boxes.
The drawer on the left side of the lower head is used to hold three days of food, and all of the mooncakes, longan meat, ginseng, rice, tea and other things that can be preserved are wrapped in oiled paper. In addition, there is room for freshly cooked cooked food, which will be packed in a silver lunch box the night before the exam. As soon as you heat up after entering, you can eat hot soup and hot rice.
"What? Can you still eat hot soup and hot rice? Zhao Hao couldn't help but be surprised: "Can there still be a fire in the tribute courtyard?" ”
He remembered that he was not allowed to bring fire into the Tianxiang test......
"Master said this. It's only been February, and the dripping water has turned into ice, if you don't let the fire be made, your precious apprentices, won't you freeze to death? Hua Shuyang opened a drawer on the right with a smile, and there was indeed a brass stove in it. There are also three boxes of specially made coal roots. ”
"One box can burn for a day, enough for use." Zhao Shizhen said confidently.
"No wonder I also brought rice and tea," Zhao Hao said suddenly: "Drinking tea while taking the exam is really enjoyable." ”
"Drinking tea helps to think." The third disciple hurriedly replied, "It can also refresh yourself." ”
"We southerners, if we don't eat rice for a day, we feel tired." The elder brother also explained.
"Oh." Zhao Hao opened Yu Shenxing's oven to see, and there was really no rice in it.
"Freshly steamed buns, fragrant." Yu Shenxing hurriedly explained that he had already invited the kitchen to steam a pot of steamed buns the day before the exam.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to steam it in the number room......
The bottom layer is covered with a futon of prescribed characteristics.
~~
After careful inspection, Zhao Hao realized that he didn't know what to bring to the entrance.
But as a master, you can't just look and not speak. Zhao Hao held back for a long time before he thought of a good question: "Why seven?" ”
With Zhao Shouzheng, a total of five people took the exam this time, and it is said that there are at most six sets, and it is enough to have one set of spare.
"One set of spare, and the other set is to prevent ......problems with backup," Zhao Shizhen replied with a serious face.
"Uh, be cautious......" The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth twitched twice, and he suddenly felt tasteless.
It's a waste of time to worry about a bunch of serious scientists.
When he came out of the courtyard from the warehouse, Zhao Hao saw the long-lost county lord's sister and her pig-headed brother walking in.
"Big brother, you're out!" As soon as she saw him, Li Mingyue smiled and ran towards him with joy.
She suddenly remembered her own personality, hurriedly stood still, turned around and glanced at Li Chengen timidly and said:
"Brother, why are you pushing me?"
"Uh, did I push it?" Li Chengen pointed to his mouth in surprise, and finally succumbed to his sister's kind gaze. "Okay, pushed. Because...... I'm naughty. ”
Zhao Hao couldn't help but speak to the county lord: "That's very dangerous, what if you accidentally fall in the face?" ”
"That's right." Li Mingyue walked to Zhao Hao's side, looking like an accusation, but in fact she looked at her brother with a warning.
"I'll pay attention to it in the future." Li Chengen said with a sad face.
He knew that this was the evil result that he had to follow, but he didn't worry about his sister coming alone......
Hey, my brother who has a younger sister, I'm worried about entering and retreating, it's difficult.
"By the way, brother, did the old-timers come out? My mother asked me to say hello on her behalf. Li Chengen had no choice but to change the topic and said: "I miss him a lot, too." ”
Zhao Haoxin said, where is this? The mother asked her son to say hello to his first love, and the two of them were quite angry......
Holding back the strange expression, Zhao Hao told him that his father was still sleeping, and it was estimated that he would not be able to get up until tomorrow.
Li Chengen showed a disappointed look, as if the trip was not complete.
"By the way, brother, don't you want to see Xiwa?" Li Mingyue motioned to him with her gaze and quickly disappeared from front of him.
"yes, it's been a long time since I've seen him. I don't know if he has given up the idea of becoming a monk......"
Li Chengen didn't know whether he really missed Xiwa, or was forced to be helpless, so he obediently went to the West Wing.
After a while, Xiwa's irritable roar came from the side room:
"You're just a monk! Lao Tzu is normal. When I can go, I'll go out and spend a lot of money right away! Spend all three tickets! ”
"Aren't they two?" While hiding her mouth and snickering, Li Mingyue couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Oh, I sent him an injury compensation." Zhao Hao replied, and then asked the county lord: "By the way, is there something wrong with the sister?" ”
"Uh-huh." Li Mingyue said in her heart, in fact, I came to see you. But he said obediently: "My mother heard that it was very cold in the examination room, so I asked me to send a few boxes of silver ratskin mattresses, sleeve covers, and pants, etc., saying that this kind of light and warm is single-layered, and can be brought into the examination room." ”
"It's so hard to worry about it." Zhao Hao hurriedly thanked him. The heart said apprentices, you are all stained with the ancestors.
"That's right, big brother." Li Mingyue suddenly remembered something and said: "When I came, I saw a beggar at the door of your house. ”
She tilted her head to think about it, and then changed her words: "Or, a beggar? ”
Yu Shensi, who was sweeping the yard, slapped his forehead and said, "That Jin Xue has been ...... outside."
