Chapter 282: The provincial examination is a small dish

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the provincial examination was completely over, and the examination room also began to drive people away. Many of them were like two willows. Teenagers came out of the examination room, either happy or melancholy, with different expressions.

Liu You and his group also stood up and crowded to the entrance of the examination room with the crowd, waiting for Liu Er You to come out from inside.

Liu Ertiao held his little book boy with his hands on his back, held his head up, and walked out of the examination room proudly. Seeing his stinky fart look, he seemed to have done a good job in the exam.

Why didn't this kid restrain himself at all? Liu Yi chuckled and shook his head, and then let go of his heart. Liu Eryi must have been confident that he was so arrogant.

"Dad, mother, brother, sister-in-law, are you all here?" Seeing his family side again, Liu Erzhao hurriedly put away his stinky fart-like appearance, replied to his previous obedient appearance, took two steps, and came up to greet his family.

"Yeah, come on, come on, drink some sour plum soup first, calm down, and get angry." Lao Liu nodded and ordered Xiao Xi to pour a bowl of iced sour plum soup for Liu Erzhao. Seeing that there were some sweat stains on the front of Liu Erzhao, I wonder how much he suffered in the examination room, the old couple felt very distressed.

"Well, Xiaoxi, pour some for Xiaoyan. Thanks to him being there for the past two days." Liu Yiu saw that the little book boy behind Liu Ertiao was carrying some test utensils. His clothes were so wet all over his body, so he ordered Xiaoxi and rewarded the little book boy.

This book boy was selected by Liu Ertiao in "Xifang" a while ago. He was ten years old, strong, handsome and well-behaved. Liu Ertiao almost fell in love with him at first sight and spent 800 cents of money to buy him.

Usually, he brought Liu Erzhao books, inkstone ink tables, and inkstones, and knocked on his shoulders and backs. He felt comfortable serving Liu Erzhao, which made Liu Erzhao feel comfortable as a second-generation ancestor. For this reason, Liu Erzhao also specially named him Liu Yan.

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were similar to the modern college entrance examination, but they were not the same. During the examination, once candidates entered the examination room, unless they gave up the examination, they would have no personal freedom. In the next few days, they would not be allowed to enter and exit at will, eat, drink, defecate, sleep, sit and walk, and sit and lie down. They were not allowed to step out of the examination room. Most of them were equipped with wing rooms, which were included in the examination room during the day and go to bed at night.

Because I was afraid that the candidates would not be busy, the court specially allowed every candidate with conditions to bring a book boy to the venue to take care of the candidates' daily food, clothing and expenses. This is a relatively humane rule. However, this humane is mostly for those nobles from wealthy families and ordinary poor scholars, who even have problems with eating. Where can I have spare money to invite a book boy?

If it were the past, I would have no need to think about it. It was a luxury. In Lao Liu's words, can a poor child need to be taken care of by a child? It would be a waste of money.

However, now that life is getting better, I can no longer treat their second son badly. I don’t want to do some of the daily trivial matters. I should also find someone to help him with some of the usual trivial matters.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Miss Xiaoxi!" Liu Yan licked his lips, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would have his own portion. He took the sour plum soup with both hands and felt the coolness coming from the bowl. Liu Yan hurriedly bent over to thank Liu Yi, then raised his neck, drank a while, and drank the soup in the bowl clean.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work these days, no, this is the reward given to you by the master and the old lady. After you go back, you can give you a day off. You can come out to play for a day." As he said that, Liu Yiu took out more than ten cents from his arms and handed them to Liu Yan, and said to him with a smile.

If you have meritorious rewards and punishments, it seems that Liu Ertiao is not tired at all. Maybe how can you exploit Liu Yan, a child laborer in the examination room? Give Liu Yan more compensation, which can be regarded as atonement for Liu Ertiao, this guy.

"Yeah, ok. Thanks to Xiao Yan here these days, otherwise I would have time to study without a caring person in the exam room. No, Xiao Yan, this is what your second young master admires you!" Liu Erzhao also took out a few cents from his arms and stuffed them into Liu Yan's little hand. He won the hearts of people. After following Liu Yi for a long time, he naturally learned some.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, young master!" Liu Yanliang stared at the silver coins in Liu Yipeng and Liu Erzhao's hands, and excitedly thanked Lao Liu Yipeng and Liu Yipeng. He had never seen so much money with such a large amount of money. He took the silver coins with both hands. Liu Yan was so happy that he couldn't find it. He felt that all the fatigue in the exam room these two days had disappeared.

After all, Liu You was still a child. Liu You chuckled and shook his head, but he was quite satisfied with Liu Eryou's actions this time. This kid also began to learn to win people's hearts. Haha, he has improved a lot compared to before, but he was a little stingy when he took action. He touched it in his arms for a long time before he took out five cents.

"Erzhao," pushing Lao Liu's wheelchair, Liu Yiuan asked Liu Erzhao: "How do you feel about this provincial examination? Are you sure you pass it?"

After hearing Liu Yiu’s question, Lao Liu and Liu He both raised their ears, which was also their most concerned issue now.

"Have you good!" Liu Ertiao learned from Liu Yi's tone and spoke proudly to Liu Yi and the others: "For me, this provincial examination is like taking pictures. After seven days, I will definitely have my name Liu Ertiao on the list."

"Well, that's good, that's good!" Old Liu nodded comfortably when he heard this, and a hint of joy appeared on his face with Liu He.

"Then congratulations to my uncle!" Zhang Chuchu also whispered to Liu Ertiao. Although the provincial examination is just the first step in the imperial examination, it is a happy event to pass it.

"Thank you sister-in-law!" Liu Ertiao was praised and congratulated by her beautiful sister-in-law, and her little tail was almost raised to the sky. When she walked, she pulled her hands, which made people couldn't help but want to kick her.

"I just passed the village once, what's worthy of praise?" Liu Yiuan couldn't help but want to hit the boy. He saw that their second son was a little proud and said, "There are more people who can pass the provincial examination. There are at least thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. You are just one of these thousands. You can stand out from these thousands. You can pass the provincial examination and the final re-examination, and you are really capable!"

"Uh! Brother said that, Ertiao was a little arrogant." Liu Ertiao drooped his head again and tightly shrank his little tail that had just been raised. He understood what Liu Yi meant. The provincial examination was just a small threshold. After crossing it, there was still the possibility of being bombarded again. The key was the provincial examination and the re-examination.

"Husband!" Zhang Chuchu cursed and said, "A happy thing made him lose all his interest in one sentence." Although these words make sense, will they not wait until later? Really.

"I know, I know," Liu You smiled and responded to her, saying, "I had expected Erzhao to pass the provincial examination, but I just didn't want him to be too complacent. You should know that "fullness brings harm, humility brings benefits" is too arrogant and complacent, and you will inevitably suffer losses in the future. Yes, but being able to pass the provincial examination is indeed a happy event. I have told Wuchen to go back and prepare for the banquet. Tonight, our family will celebrate Erzhao well!"

"Well, this is the case. Our old Liu family finally hopes to have an official. We have to celebrate it!" Lao Liu couldn't hear the previous words, but he heard the latter words realistically and smiled and followed the instructions.

"Brother said, I've been taught." Liu Erzhao bowed to Liu Yi seriously, and then he looked up at Liu Yi laughing and said to Liu Yi in a low voice: "But, brother, why do I seem to hear a trace of sourness from your words?"

"You little brat, where did you come from so much nonsense? Get in the car!" Liu Yi slapped Liu Ertiao's head with a little shame, then carried Lao Liu into the carriage, and sent them away first, leaving only him and Chu Chu in the place. Well, of course, there was also Liu Wuhen's hundred-mile donkey.

He gently helped Zhang Chuchu onto Liu Wuhen's back, and Liu Yi turned over to the donkey, hugged Zhang Chuchu tightly in his arms, touched Liu Wuhen's donkey ears, and followed slowly.

Touching Chuchu's belly and rubbing Chuchu's beautiful hair, Liu Yi was a little intoxicated, lying her head on Chuchu's shoulders, smelling the seductive body fragrance of Chuchu's body, and feeling the breeze of the countryside on the road, Liu Yi felt a little sleepy.

"Husband," Chuchu leaned gently in Liu Yi's arms, savoring the familiar smell on Liu Yi's body, and screamed softly.

"Hmm?" Liu Yi opened his eyes slightly and responded lazily: "What's wrong?"

"It's not that much, I just miss you a little." Chuchu lowered her head slightly, shy. Even if she said such shameful words to her husband, she still felt a little burning on her face.

"Well, I miss you too, and the little baby in your belly." Liu Yiuan gently stroked Chuchu's belly again, then turned his head, and kissed Chuchu's cheek affectionately through the gauze.

Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches bloom in spring.

I hope you will pick more of this thing, which is the most love-loving thing.
