Chapter 179: The Enke Period is Out
"Zhu Ping'an, you can come in, but that dead fat pig is not allowed to come in."
Just when Zhu Ping'an looked at a certain red-nosed fat man with a painful face, the door of the study opened, and the black-bellied girl Li Shu poked her head out of the door, and reluctantly pouted and shouted to Zhu Ping'an, her face full of reluctance.
"If it weren't for Daddy's explanation that the study was close to you when he left, I wouldn't have let you in!" The black-bellied girl pouted and rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an.
A certain fat man who was caught in the head by the door, hearing this, his obscene little eyes sparkled and sparkled back and forth between Zhu Ping'an and the black-bellied girl.
"Then you'll wait for me outside."
Originally, Zhu Ping'an didn't want to leave the fat man and go in alone, but when he saw the fat man's virtue, he immediately left a sentence, patted his ass and left. Although the black-bellied girl has a stinky face, but her appearance is high, it is much better than looking at the obscene face of the fat man, not to mention that she was originally going to return the book and borrow the book, so it is better to be practical.
Zhu Ping'an entered the study to return the book, and quickly borrowed two books, but was stopped by the black-bellied girl when he was about to leave.
"Something?" Zhu Ping'an looked at the black-bellied girl and asked.
"Nonsense, why stop you if you have nothing to do!" The black-bellied girl looked disdainful, "Next time you come to borrow a book, you must bring me five thousand, no, at least six thousand words of story, if you want to copy it, the font must be neat, and you should practice calligraphy." β
After the black-bellied girl finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Ping'an without blinking, waiting for Zhu Ping'an's answer.
"Okay, I'll try." Zhu Ping'an nodded.
"What does it mean to try as much as possible, is to be certain!" The black-bellied girl was dissatisfied, revealing her little tiger teeth.
On the way back to Zhu Ping'an's house from Li's house. The fat man's fat face is full of gossip expressions, and he opens and closes his mouth to ask what study is the place for your tryst, what have you been doing in the study for so long......
"You're really born in the wrong era." Zhu Ping'an glanced at the fat man with gossip on his face, and said lightly.
"Huh?" The fat man was puzzled.
"It can only be understood, but not spoken." Zhu Ping'an shook his head, pretending to be mysterious.
"Huh. You're just changing the subject, saying that you're in the study......" The fat man started gossiping again.
The sound of frogs, birdsong, and the gossip of fat men rang out all the way......
In the evening, Li Zheng of Xiahe Village led two young people carrying rice, flour, oil and meat into the gate of Zhu Ping'an's house.
"Lizheng, what are you doing here?" Father Zhu came out of the room when he heard the sound. I was very surprised to see the things that Li Zheng and the two posteriors were carrying.
"Brother Zhu, this is not what I want to do, it is the subsidy that the county allocates to your second child according to the routine."
Li Zheng was full of smiles, and waved his hand to signal the descendants behind him to put the things in the courtyard of Zhu Ping'an's house.
"That's a lot of that." Mother Chen came out of the room. Looking at the rice, flour, oil, and meat carried by the two later generations, I couldn't stop smacking my tongue, this is a bag of rice, a jar of oil, a small bag of flour and a large piece of meat, which is enough to eat for a long time.
Zhu Ping'an, the fat man and the eldest brother Zhu Ping'an then walked out, and when Li Zheng saw Zhu Ping'an, he smiled and congratulated, "I haven't said hello to Zhu Gongzi yet, the Holy Dragon has opened Enke, and Zhu Gongzi can try his skills again." β
"Oh, I almost forgot. This was sent to the town by the county, and the town asked me to hand it over to Zhu Gongzi. As he spoke, he patted his head. took out a piece of red paper with a seal from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Ping'an.
"Thank you." Zhu Ping'an took the red paper and thanked him.
"Where, where, along the way." Ri is shaking his hands, and his face is full of smiles.
Li Zheng chatted in the courtyard of Zhu's house for a while and left, and Zhu Ping'an opened the red paper in his hand. I found that the above is the specific news of Enke this time, and in front of it is a lot of words of praise for merit and virtue such as unicorns. Later is the specific time of Enko, the fourth day of November.
The fourth day of November?
At first glance see this time. Zhu Ping'an was a little puzzled, because the number four has always been an unlucky number in our country, and it is very taboo among the people, let alone above the court. However, after thinking about Emperor Jiajing's personality, Zhu Ping'an was also relieved.
Emperor Jiajing is fond of alchemy and cultivating immortals, in some auspicious and evil also like to ask the gods to ask the immortals, the way is also very special, the question is written on paper, sealed, there are eunuchs handed over to the Taoist, and the Taoist priest burns it to the immortals, and then two branches are erected on the sand table, and the two eunuchs hold down the branches with their fingers, when the gods appear, the two eunuchs close their eyes and press the branches to scribble on the sand table, and then Emperor Jiajing studies the will of the gods according to the "Book of Heaven" displayed on the sand table.
No, this November 4th came from this way.
After the fat man saw the time, he screamed like a fire burning his buttocks, "Why is it this year, I thought it would be the beginning of next year, so wouldn't I have to go back to prepare for the scientific examination?" β
The scientific examination in the mouth of the fat man refers to the examination in the year of Dabi, well, that is, the year before the township examination, which is presided over by the school officer from the selection of students and supervisors to participate in the township examination, which is generally after the annual examination and then presided over by the school officer, but Zhu Ping'an They are special, they are students this year, so they only need to participate in the scientific examination. The scientific examination ranking is divided into six grades, generally speaking, the promotion officer is given more than the third grade, and there are few or even no below the third class. Only the first and second class of the scientific examination can participate in the township examination.
The reason why the fat man is so nervous is because the first and second class are admitted to the scientific examination, and there are also places. Each county government has a fixed quota, and if I remember correctly, it will take another five or six years or so for this dynasty to limit the number of places to be admitted to the township examination in proportion to the number of places in previous years.
There are about 23,400 people in the entire Nanzhili, which are distributed to various counties, and there are only about 10 people in each county, which is only a few. There are at least 100 talents in each county, and only about 10 people can participate in the township test.
Even the qualification examination for the township examination is difficult or not, but according to the usual practice, the capital of the case is stable and can pass the scientific examination to participate in the township examination.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an is not very worried about this.
Soon, the day before yesterday, the nursing home that sent the fat man to Xiahe Village also came with a carriage, and he got the news that the fat man's family in Fengyang Mansion was sent by the horse overnight, and asked the fat man to hurry home to prepare for the scientific examination.
The fat man was reluctant to leave the Zhu family......
"Godmother, the pickled cucumber ......" I have to say that the way the fat man is reluctant is also very special.
"Godmother gives you a whole altar." Mother Chen took a whole jar of freshly pickled from the yard and put it on the fat man's carriage, and she also liked this chubby godson who had lived in the Zhu family for a few days.
"I'm sorry about that...... the fat man said in his mouth, and he was not slow in his hands, and he pulled a pickled cucumber that his mother Chen had put on the carriage into the carriage.
"What's bad, you can marinate another jar in a few days." Mother Chen waved her hand carelessly.
"Godmother, the dried mushrooms ......" The fat man pointed to the dried mushrooms in the yard and was reluctant again, the chicken soup stewed by the godmother with mushrooms last night was too delicious.
"Godmother will pretend to ...... you," Mother Chen was very generous.
"Godmother, that ......" The fat man took the mushrooms and was reluctant again......
"It's over, so leave me some!" Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and pressed the reluctant fat man into the carriage.
Zhu Ping'an's actions provoked Chen to laugh and scold, and picked up a lot of fat people's favorite things from home and stuffed them into the fat man's carriage, squeezing the fat man's eyebrows and eyebrows at Zhu Ping'an.
"Be naΓ―ve, don't patronize eating and sleeping, read more books, the provincial scientific examination township test is embarrassing."
Zhu Ping'an complained disdainfully about the fat man's childish behavior.
"Will the fat man be ashamed? You wait to be impressed. The fat man roared away in a carriage with his fat face held high. (To be continued)
