God bless the fall.

When he heard this result, Cao Hao was not surprised. Like Nian Xi, the twelve-year-old is a minority after all.

If you are 12 years old, you may be 13 years old. If you can be admitted to the Shujishi, it's good, there are still three years of overstudy; If you can't pass the test, you will be released directly, and the thirteen-year-old seven-pin Zhengyin official is not a farce, what is it?

Zhili is a large province for the township test, and there are many test takers, and it is not uncommon for God to be old and experienced.

Even so, Tianyou was still very frustrated.

He didn't ask for leave, and still went to Qixue to study every day, but he couldn't hide his loss between his eyebrows.

Cao Hao once dismissed him once, and he was much luckier than those scholars who had only passed the boys' examination in their early years. Nowadays, it is normal that this subject is not selected.

Others have been studying for more than ten years or decades, but he has only studied for seven years. It was already a fluke to be able to pass the children's exam with a first-class score before.

If he is frustrated once, he is so depressed, and the reader who has studied hard for decades and still can't be lifted is so self-contained? In the examination room, there was no shortage of old Confucians in their forties and fifties, and this was what he had seen in person.

About next year, Enke will be opened, and three years later, in the year of the township examination, even if he takes the middle lift twice, he is only fifteen years old, which is younger than when his uncles won the lift.

When Tianyou heard this, he seemed to be a little enlightened.

Chu Yu knew that his son had a high heart, and he was afraid that he would be unhappy because of the fall, so he wanted to ask him for a few days off and let him go to Haidian Zhuangzi to relax. God blessed his mother, only said that it was okay, and still went to study as usual.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, he fainted in Qixue and was sent back by his classmates in the school...... Aoi-in, upper room.

Sending the imperial doctor away, looking at his son with a pale face and closed eyes on the kang, Chu Yu looked at the maids Le Qing and Bai Lu beside Tianyou, with a little anger on his face.

Le Qing held the boiled Chinese medicine in his hand and sent it to Chu Yu with a little apprehension.

Chu Yu leaned over to call Tianyou, Tianyou opened his eyes, saw his mother's worried face, and said, "Mother ......"

Chu Yu saw that his eyes were sunken, thinking that the imperial doctor said that he was "depressed and overly angry", he couldn't do it in distress, and said with tears: "You kid, since you are uncomfortable, why are you still holding on?" I can't listen to you this time, I have sent someone to Qixue to ask you for leave, so that you can rest for a while. ”

Although Tianyou was precocious, he was only twelve years old, and he caught up with the illness, so he couldn't help it and lowered his head.

His tears fell on the single quilt one by one, and after a while, they became wet, and Chu Yu also had red eyes, hugged his son, hugged him in his arms, and choked up: "I knew you were like this, I shouldn't have let you go......"

Tianyou didn't look up, in his mother's arms, "woo" cried out, which was rare to be a little childish.

He is the eldest son, and he is usually in front of his parents, and he is like a little adult, and it is rare to have such a time.

After crying for a while, he was a little embarrassed, struggled up from Chu Yu's arms, lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said in a muffled voice: "My son is not filial, which makes my mother worried." The son is fine, the mother will go back first......"

Chu Yu saw that his heart was knotted, where was he willing to rest assured, and said: "I heard that you have been reading until the fourth watch every night these days, so why?" The body is skinned, and you are affected by your parents, and it is not you who suffer like this, but the life of me and your father. And your grandmother, who loves you the most. It's summer heat now, if you learn that you are sick, what will happen in a hurry, have you thought about it? ”

Seeing that his mother, who had always been loving, reprimanded him without pretending to be colored, Tianyou straightened up, followed solemnly, and confessed his mistake: "Mother, it is the son who is not promising, his homework is not solid, and he has not set an example for his younger brothers......"

Chu Yu saw that he was still on the tip of the bull's horns, so he fell into the first place, shook his head and said: "Who told you that only when you are on the list can you be an example for your younger brothers?" Your father hasn't been out yet, so isn't he worthy of your uncles' respect? ”

Tianyou heard this, and hurriedly said: "My son has no such intention!" Is the son bad...... Self-righteous, the teacher once taught that the emperor attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, and most of the questions in this year's exam are related to the livelihood of the people. The son only reads dead books, has a short knowledge, and does not make good articles......"

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh: "How old are you, where do you have to worry about the country and the people?" If you have passed the test, you will pass the test, and if you can't let it go like this, it will make your younger brothers and sisters laugh. ”

Tianyou said: "But when my father was so old, he was already able to pass through the economy and share his grandfather's worries." ”

Chu Yu was speechless when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say.

After Tianyou finished speaking, his mother did not answer, and said: "The son doesn't want to compare with his father, but just thinks that it would be good if he could share his father's worries like his father did when he was a teenager......

Before the words fell, I heard someone at the door snort coldly: "I don't have anything to worry about for you, as long as you don't let me worry, thank God!" ”

It's Cao Hao who is back.

The instructor in Qixue was afraid of being involved, so he sent Tianyou back to Cao's house on the one hand, and sent a letter to Cao Hao to the yamen.

Cao Hao immediately put down his errand and hurried back, just in time for his wife to relieve his son.

After listening to his wife's persuasion for a long time, his son was dead, and Cao Hao immediately held back an evil fire in his heart.

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and walked in with a straight face.

Tianyou saw that his face was not good, and he turned over and got off the kang, but because of his weak body, he was a little unstable, and he was busy leaning on the edge of the kang and standing up, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

Seeing that he was weak, Cao Hao was distressed and angry, and said: "I really didn't expect that my son Cao Hao would be so delicate, he couldn't stand the blow of a fall, and what kind of imperial examination did he take?" Burn all the books, wait until sixteen, and go directly from the martial arts. In the end, I was getting more and more annoyed.

But I don't know whether to be annoyed by my son's brainlessness, or annoyed that I shouldn't be lucky and let my son take the exam at such a young age.

The son's hard study is not the result of his hope that his son will take the career of the imperial examination, which will add fuel to the fire. Children of such a big age in other people's homes are still innocent and playful.

When Tianyou heard this, his face turned pale, and he said, "Father, my son doesn't dare anymore." ”

Cao Hao glared at him and said, "I persuaded you a few days ago, and you said that you wanted to understand." This is what you do as a sensible person? The Cao family is not short of a nerd, rather than letting your mother follow you to be afraid, this imperial examination will not be taken from now on! ”

Tianyou was trained so that tears rolled in his eyes, but he didn't dare to distinguish them.

Chu Yu felt sorry for his son, and said in a low voice: "Master, Tianyou just took the medicine and is sweating, let him go for a while, right?" ”

Cao Hao was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he said ruthlessly: "You care so much about the false name of the imperial examination, but because your fourth and fifth uncles were admitted to the Jinshi, they dislike me as a father who was born as a prisoner?" ”

This is really a heart-wrenching word, Tianyou felt a "buzzing" sound in his brain, and prayed: "Father, the son has no ......"

Cao Hao ignored him, turned around and left.

Tianyou didn't expect his father to be so angry, he looked at Chu Yu in a daze, and some couldn't react.

Chu Yu sighed in his heart and helped him lie down again.

Tianyou made a bitter face and said: "Mother, in the son's heart, the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle combined, they can't compare to the father's ......."

Chu Yu said: "Your father is just annoyed that you don't care for yourself, if you get better soon, he won't be annoyed......"

"Really? The father seemed to be very annoyed...... "Tianyou can't take care of thinking about the first thing, and with a little caution, he looked at Chu Yu and said."

Chu Yu poked his head with his finger and said, "Do you know you're afraid?" Then wait until you are well and ask your father to punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days to vent your anger. ”

"Well, as long as my father can dissipate his anger." At this time, Tianyou is well-behaved.

Chu Yu saw that although there was worry in his eyes, his spirit was better than that of Fang Cai, so he was a little relieved, sat on the edge of the kang, coaxed him to sleep, and then put down the tent and walked outside.

Le Qing and Bai Lu followed out carefully, Chu Yu was afraid of disturbing Tianyou, so when he sat down in the West House, he said with a frosty face: "I am relieved to hand over the uncle to you, and you will wait like this?" Knowing that he has studied until the fourth watch, even if he can't be persuaded, he can't move your step and tell me? ”

Le Qing and Bai Lu are two, one is transferred from Wutong Garden, and the other is a child who grew up with Tianyou, and is the big girl of Kwai Yuan.

Neither of them dared to argue, and honestly knelt on the ground.

Chu Yu became more and more annoyed when he saw it, but he thought that his son had an idea when he was young, if he sent a message, even if it was Le Qing and Bai Lu, who were older than him, they would just wait to comply.

She looked at Le Qing, a little disappointed, and said, "It's only been a few years since I came from Wutong Garden, it seems that I can't control you?" If you don't deserve this errand, go back to Sycamore Garden! ”

Le Qing listened and said, "Mrs...... Please allow the slave and maid to atone for their sins, and the slave and maid will be ready to wait for the uncle......"

She has been waiting for her best in the past few years, Chu Yu frowned and said: "Demote to the second class, and get three months of money." If you are still so loose, I will not dare to work you anymore. After speaking, he turned to Bai Lu and said, "The people who waited for the uncle earlier were all let out when they were old. Only you were young, stayed, and received a second-class monthly example. It's just that you're sensible, but I didn't expect you to be a kid who doesn't know the severity. Le Qing was frightened by the uncle, can you also be frightened by the uncle? Have you ever thought about what would happen if the uncle didn't faint in the school, but fainted right away? ”

In that case, something big will happen, and it is not enough to take a few pairs of medicine and raise it for two days.

Bai Lu is the young daughter of the big housekeeper Cao Yuan, and she went to the Kwai Courtyard as an errand early, and the Li family and Chu Yu did not regard her as ordinary slaves.

Bai Lu's face turned pale, and she said with red eyes: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid should have gone to tell the wife a long time ago." ”

Chu Yu said: "Uncle is my lifeline, and if there is another such thing, I won't be able to live." If you punish Le Qing, you will also be punished, so let's demote it to the third class......"

After disposing of Le Qing and Bai Lu, Chu Yu went to the East House to see his son again, and saw that he was sleeping peacefully, so he returned to Wutong Garden.

Cao Hao was in Wutong Garden, already waiting for his heart to be anxious.

"How about that kid, he still hasn't entered Yanjin?" Seeing his wife come back, he couldn't wait to ask.

"I was scolded by my lord, and I didn't care about the imperial examination, so I thought about how to make my lord angry. But I'm very tired, and now I'm sleeping soundly. Chu Yu said.

When Cao Hao heard this, he was relieved, sat down and said: "It's all my fault, since the fourth and fifth brothers were admitted to the Jinshi, I have been talking about the imperial examination in front of the children for the past few years, which has made my son too burdened." ”

Chu Yu thought for a while and said, "Master, if Tianyou doesn't want to take the test, just wait for him to be older, right?" ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "Of course, although I am talking about the imperial examination heirloom, I never thought of forcing the children to take this path. There are too many variables on the road to the imperial examination, and it is not possible to achieve what you want with diligence. Tianyou had a good life before, and because he was the eldest son and eldest grandson, he received too much praise, and now he has failed, so he has drilled the horns. When he is older, he will understand the path......"

* The sky is scorching, and the scalp is numb...... Tianyou only felt as if he was immersed in water, and his clothes were attached to his body. The sweat on his forehead, snaking and remaining, had a drop that slid directly across his cheeks and fell into his mouth.

Salty, my mouth was dry, but now I feel even thirstier.

Tianyou swallowed hard and spat, only to feel his legs and stomach spin. He couldn't stand still, and he heard a cold snort behind him.

He was so frightened that he straightened his waist again.

Heng Sheng, Zuo Zhu, and Zuo Cheng looked at the pocket watch and told him, "Big brother, two quarters of an hour have passed, just stand for another six quarters of an hour." ”

Tianyou was a little helpless, and felt that his throat was about to smoke.

Then he saw his father turn from behind him to him and say, "Burn the book!" ”

Tianyou only felt confused, and saw the little guys carrying a lot of books out of the study and piling them up in front of him.

As the torches lit, the books burst ablaze, and tongues of fire rolled up on their faces.

"Fire! Fire! Tianyou was so frightened that he couldn't help waving his arms and calling out loudly.

"Uncle, wake up, but I'm in a bad ......" Le Qing heard the movement in the inner room and hurriedly came over to visit.

The new curtain was made of a tulle made by the palace and used as a mosquito net, so it was very gentle. Tianyou slept dishonestly, next to the curtain, and at some point a light wind blew up the curtain and slid it on his face.

Tianyou opened his eyes, he was still in a nightmare, and he said for a while: "Water, I'm so thirsty......"

* Compared with Tianyou's loss and frustration, Sun Li, who is on the list, is much more comfortable.

Sun Wencheng had already asked Sun Jin to go to the official school of the Internal Affairs Office to ask Sun Li for a long vacation, and then cleaned up a secluded courtyard at home and gave Sun Li alone, just to let him prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

Those old people in the Internal Affairs Office have already gotten the news and know that Sun Wencheng's recovery is imminent.

Sun Li is the grandson of the Sun family and the nephew of the Cao family, so someone will come to the door and mention Sun Li's family affairs, wanting to repair the relationship with the Sun family.

Sun Wencheng was not in a hurry, he knew that the most important thing in front of his grandson was to prepare for the exam, and nothing else was important. If you can get a young jinshi, you will have a chance to enter the Shu Jishi.

You must know that in addition to attaching importance to the knowledge of the jinshi, the kaoshu jishi also selects the age of the new jinshi.

Even if Sun Li doesn't get into the current subject and doesn't get in next year, he will only be twenty years old in the next department, and there is still a lot of hope. For the sake of his grandson's homework, he once made a special trip to visit the teacher of the official school, and knew that his grandson's homework was solid, and the imperial examination was promising.

In the next five years, he will take the test three times, and he believes that his grandson will definitely win.

In that case, the eldest grandson will become a righteous official from a professional class, and his future will be very good.

Sun Li is not arrogant or impatient, and in addition to greeting his grandparents and parents, he studies in the courtyard......
