Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight sick exam
Time flies, and there is no news of war in the northeastern border. The war in the northwest comes from time to time. Zhulan is worried about her three nephews. As the provincial examination approaches, Zhulan focuses on Zhou Shuren.
The Zhou family was very nervous. Even though the Zhou family's sons were very confident in their father, they were all in love with their grandchildren. The Zhou family's yard was very quiet every day.
Even if you believe in Zhou Shuren, the closer you are, the more you are, the more you are afraid of accidents. Before the provincial examination, the academic and political associations of each province organized an exam in advance, and those with excellent grades were allowed to take the provincial examination.
Zhou Shuren passed successfully, with her grades, and the second place was Wu Ming.
There are special examination rooms for the provincial examinations. The examination rooms in each prefecture are in the southeast direction. The examination rooms are tribute schools and there are three provincial examinations, each three days, and each examination must be entered one day in advance.
The candidates spent three days in the grid room in the examination room. Zhulan listened to Zhou Shuren's popular science. The grid room for the examination was very small. Two boards were put together as a bed. If they were separated, they would be a table and a chair.
The ancients were quite wise, and both boards were flexible and able to change.
Zhulan and Li spent a lot of effort on eating, just to make Zhou Shuren eat better.
Having said that, fortunately, the temperature in Northeast China is not cold or too hot, and the exams can be more comfortable, unlike in the south, and the Guangdong area is still very hot in August!
It was originally uncomfortable enough to be in the lattice test room. Staying in the stuffy weather for three days will particularly affect the mood of the exam.
The day before the exam, the Zhou family didn't even move at dinner. Zhulan was very clear in her heart. Everyone in the room was afraid that it would affect Zhou Shuren's responsibility!
Zhou Shuren was the least nervous one. He should eat and drink, and had a good night's sleep at night.
After dinner the next morning, Zhou Shuren was going to the examination room to attend the tribute tutoring in advance. Zhulan checked twice and confirmed that it was not lost, so she personally sent Zhou Shuren to the tribute tutoring in person.
When we arrived outside the Gongyuan, there were already a long queue at the entrance of the Gongyuan, and there were even more carriages at the door. The carriage could not be passed. Zhou Laoer looked at the carriage, and Zhulan and Zhou Laoda sent Zhou Shuren to queue up.
After Zhou Shuren lined up, Zhulan and Boss Zhou did not leave either, waiting for Zhou Shuren to go in before leaving.
The inspection at the Gongyuan Institute is very strict. Not only are the things they bring, but even the people are checked. There are two sheds at the entrance of the Gongyuan Institute, which are specially designed to check the candidates' clothes. When you go in, you have to take off your clothes and check it. There is no intention of humiliation, but it is just to prevent someone from cheating.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhou Shuren successfully entered the inspection. The inspection was so strict. The candidates' hair was checked. Zhou Shuren, a candidate who could not comb his hair, had a messy hair and was embarrassed by the bamboo orchid.
Boss Zhou was speechless. He really didn't expect that his father wouldn't comb his hair. He could comb his hair like such a stupid person. Seeing that his father was in the tribute courtyard, Boss Zhou was relieved, "Mom, let's go home!"
Zhulan glanced at the Gongyuan again and said, "Yeah, come back."
I came here again three days later, and I had three provincial exams, each for three days. I had a bad body and couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Zhou Shuren's body exercise was good.
When Zhou Laoer saw his mother and elder brother come back, he knew that his father had successfully entered the exam room, so he put his heart back in his stomach.
On the way back, Zhulan met Wu Li, who was walking back and signaled Zhou Laoer to stop the car, "Auntie, uncle, let's take the car back together!"
Wu Li waved his hand, "Uncle and I were very nervous. We can still feel at ease when we walk back slowly. You can go back first!"
Zhulan said, "Then I'll leave first."
"Let's go!"
There were so many carriages on the way back, and the speed was incomparable to the time he came. When I got home, I waited for the letter at home and found out that I had successfully entered the examination room, and I felt relieved.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren dealt with their son and daughter-in-law hard. This time, no one dared to ask Zhulan in his ear, and tried their best to hide from Zhulan, fearing that Zhulan would be in a bad mood and would be vented.
Three days passed quickly, and the first exam was over. This time, Zhulan and her two sons went to the door early to guard.
As soon as the gate opened, the entrance of the Gongyuan was crowded with people, all of whom were in Pingzhou City or were relatives who came to accompany the exam.
It is best for Zhou Shuren to accept it. It is the right thing to have messy hair. Some people get dizzy when they go out. This is because they have weak bones. Zhou Shuren walked out with big strides and was in good spirits.
Zhulan felt relieved and curled her lips, "Get into the car, I'll comb your hair."
Zhou Shuren coughed, "Yes."
He also tried to comb his hair by himself, and his current appearance is the best he has combed.
Zhou Laoer hurriedly took the box from his father's hand and said, "Dad, I'll help you get into the car."
Zhou Shuren, “Yeah.”
Don’t think that he didn’t see Zhou Laoer’s mouth twitched. In the past, Zhulan helped to comb his hair. The children at home really didn’t know that he couldn’t comb his hair, but this time they all knew.
I couldn't get away after returning to the carriage for a while. The carriage behind me was blocked. There was only one carriage from Zhulan's family, and several of them were from some wealthy families!
Zhulan asked while combing Zhou Shuren's hair, "How have you been resting these days?"
Zhou Shuren, "In addition to the smaller place, you can rest."
Thanks to two long trips, the conditions of the Gongyuan are at least not to worry about safety. It is good to have a rest at night.
Zhulan knew that Zhou Shuren had not lying to her, and could tell from her spirit that she combed Zhou Shuren's hair, "The hot water at home is boiled, so go back and take a good bath."
Zhou Shuren nodded and said, "I hope the weather for the remaining two games is as good as it is now."
I also hope that the bamboo orchids will not be hot these days, and the breeze will blow from time to time. What is more important is that it is cloudless. The most feared thing about the exam is that it rains. It cannot be interrupted if it rains. Although there is a place to shelter from the rain, the moisture will not affect the mood, and the rest at night will not be good. The most important thing is that it is that it is afraid of catching a cold and getting sick.
The carriage was waiting for a while, and the road ahead was open. It was already an hour later when I got home. Zhou Shuren went to take a shower first.
Li made a large table of dishes, and Zhulan specially asked the boss to buy a sheep and kill it, just to nourish Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren took a shower and ate and rested.
The Zhou family was still cautious and did not dare to make any noise.
Zhulan washed the clothes that Zhou Shuren changed, and after washing the clothes, he prepared the clothes for Zhou Shuren for the next exam.
As soon as the Zhou family arrived, they were serving Zhou Shuren until the last exam was over.
After the last exam, some people fell ill when they went to the tribute hospital and some people cried loudly, and there were all kinds of situations.
No matter how good Zhou Shuren was, he felt relieved after the exam. Zhulan combed Zhou Shuren's hair and Zhou Shuren went to bed.
Zhou Shuren slept for a long time this time, and after nearly a day of sleep, Zhulan asked Boss Zhou to take a bath and change the clothes.
Zhou Shuren has had enough sleep and rest, and only has to wait for the results.
Even though the exam was over, the Zhou family was still quiet. Zhou Shuren was very calm and was in the mood to go out to meet Zhao Bo.
Zhulan's attention has always been on Zhou Shuren. When Wu Ning came, Zhulan realized that Wu Ming insisted on completing the exam with illness. The Wu family was worried about his grades, so Wu Ning couldn't come these days, and she wanted to stay at home to take care of Wu Ming.
