Chapter 69 High School

There are three rural examinations, each lasting three days. During these three days, the candidates have to eat, drink, sleep, and have to take care of everything in the examination room.

The Zhao family and his son paid tribute to the courtyard, and Mrs. Zhao Cui and the others were about to go back. As soon as they turned around, they heard someone shouting: "Sister Shu."

Zhao Wangshu looked back , smiled and said: "Aunt Qin, Sister Hua."

Grandma Qin bowed slightly and said, "Hello Aunt Qin, hello brother and sister."

"Hello. "Zhao Cui nodded slightly.

"Hello, third sister-in-law." Zhao Li said with a smile.

After saying hello, everyone walked out together. When getting on the carriage, Zhao Wangshu felt someone looking at her. When she turned her eyes, she saw Lin Fang not far away.

Zhao Wangshu frowned, is she here to see her eldest brother off?

"Yue'er." Mrs. Zhao Cui called from the car.

Zhao Wangshu couldn’t think anymore and got into the car.

The matter between Lin Fang and the eldest brother should wait until the eldest brother finishes the exam.

The Zhao family father and son were taking exams in Gongyuan, and Mrs. Zhao Cui was not idle either. She took Zhao Wangshu to become a disciple.

Ms. Zhao Cui felt that most of the techniques she learned at the Zhao family mansion were not practical.

“Study medicine?” Zhao Wangshu was surprised, “Grandma, you want me to be a doctor?”

“I don’t want you to be a doctor, Grandma can’t bear to leave you. It's so hard, just to learn some medicine knowledge. There are so many dirty things in the back house, we don't harm others, but we must be able to protect ourselves." Mrs. Zhao Cui touched her head and said.

"Grandma, do you want me to live in such a complicated family?" Zhao Wangshu pouted, "I don't want to marry."

The home should be warm and beautiful. She doesn't want to quarrel with others.

Ms. Zhao Cui smiled, "Of course grandma will not marry you to such a family, but Yue'er, things are unpredictable and people's hearts are unpredictable. Even if you learn some medicine, even if it is not useful, You can also learn to take care of yourself."

"But, grandma, I will be out for a few days. When dad and eldest brother finish the provincial examination, I have to go back to the mansion." Zhao Wangshu was depressed. typical.

"It won't take long, grandma will pick you up."

Zhao Wangshu nuzzled into her arms, "I know, grandma, I will learn from it. ."

Mrs. Zhao Cui found a master for Zhao Wangshu. She was a female doctor, surnamed Shen. She was over fifty years old. She was a former imperial doctor. She had no father, no mother, no children, no daughters, and she was alone. , had been traveling abroad before returning to the capital.

"Aci, this is my little granddaughterWangshu, nicknamed Yue'er. " Mrs. Zhao Cui smiled.

Doctor Shen smiled, "Is this my little apprentice? Doesn't look like you, but looks better than you. "

"What you are saying is, am I ugly? "

"How old are you? Your face is full of wrinkles. How can you look good? "Dr. Shen joked.

Dr. Shen threw a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica" to Zhao Wangshu, "Take this book back and study it carefully. I will teach you after you finish reading it. "

"Yes, Master. "Zhao Wangshu took the book and said respectfully.

Opening the book, it read: One hundred and twenty kinds of medicine are prescribed for the king. He nourishes life and responds to the sky. It is non-toxic. Take it often and for a long time. Taking it will not hurt people. If you want to lighten your body and replenish your energy, you will not grow old

After studying with Dr. Shen for two days, after having lunch early on the tenth day of the lunar month, Zhao Wangshu went to Gongyuan with his grandmother and mother to pick him up.

The carriage moved very slowly, and the streets were full of people, all going to the Gongyuan to pick up people.

“With so many candidates, I wonder how many of them can pass the examination? "Zhao Wangshu vaguely remembered that the acceptance rate of the provincial examination was not high.

"Only more than a hundred people. Mrs. Zhao Cui sighed, "This is the third time your father has taken the provincial examination." "

"Daddy will definitely pass the exam this time. "Zhao Wangshu said with confidence.

"I also hope he can win, otherwise your brother will fail in high school and he will be embarrassed to take the test for the fourth time. "

"Grandma, this is my brother's first time taking the provincial examination. Are you so sure that my brother will pass the exam in the first try? "Zhao Wangshu asked.

"Your brother has been smart since he was a child and is much better than your father. "

"Grandma, Daddy will be sad if he hears you say that. "

Mrs. Zhao Cui smiled, "Don't let anyone tell you the truth. ”

The grandfather and grandson talked and arrived outside the Gongyuan.

At the beginning of Shenshi, the gate of Gongyuan opened again.

In order to prevent a stampede. Despite the accident, candidates still had to queue up when going out.

After staying in the examination room for three days and two nights, the frail candidates were already dying and were helped out by soldiers.
< br />The Zhao family's father and son were in good health. As soon as they left the tribute courtyard carrying a box and cage on their backs, they heard someone shouting: "Master, Master, this way, this way." "

At first glance, it was Axiang waving. He squeezed past and met his family members. Zhao Wangshu wrinkled his nose and said, "Dad, brother, why do you stink so much?" ”

“It’s so hot, they haven’t bathed for two or three days, but the smell is so bad, they should go back quickly.” "Zhao Cui dislikestypical.

The servant helped the two of them to find the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Zhao Li poured Qi and Yangshen soup for the two of them to drink.

After drinking the warm soup, the Zhao family and his son felt a little energetic.

Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "Mother, this time my son thinks he can do it."

"It will be great." Mrs. Zhao Cui handed him the wet handkerchief.

Returning to the small courtyard, they washed up hastily, ate a bowl of noodles, and then the father and son rested.

On the 12th and 14th, the second and third games were played. The Zhao family and his son went away in high spirits and returned with haggard heads.

The provincial examination was finally over, and Mrs. Zhao Cui sent Zhao Wangshu back to the Zhao family mansion.

Back at the mansion, Zhao Wangshu did not forget to study the "Compendium of Materia Medica". On her rest day, she went to see Dr. Shen.

"Book, you have been reading it for a while, and now I will test you, what is the effect of Ju Hua?" Dr. Shen.

"Ju Hua, bitter and mild, mainly wind, dizziness, swelling and pain, vision loss, tears, skin dead muscle, aversion to rheumatism"

Dr. Shen slightly Nodding, "Donkey-hide gelatin."

"Donkey-hide gelatin has a sweet and flat taste. It is used for confidants, internal collapse, and extreme fatigue. It is used as a sprinkle

No matter what Dr. Shen asked, Zhao Wangshu answered fluently. This is Dr. Shen was quite satisfied, "Good boy. ”

On the second day of September, the provincial examination results were released.

Zhao Wangshu returned to the small courtyard in Guizhi Lane on the first day of junior high school and waited for the results with his family.

Zhao Cheng was restless and walked around the yard.

“Stop dangling there, it makes me dizzy. Mrs. Zhao Cui couldn't help it, "I'm not as stable as your son." "

Mrs. Zhao Li comforted him, "Master, don't worry, you will definitely win." ”

　“Hmm. "Zhao Cheng nodded, but his nervousness and anxiety could still be seen.

" Hit, hit. "Axiang and Luoshan who went to see the results are back.

"Who won? "Zhao Cui and Zhao Cheng asked eagerly at the same time.

"The eldest young master graduated from high school. "Axiang said happily.

"I missed again. "Zhao Cheng's face turned pale.

He had read more books than his son, and he thought he could write better articles than his son. His son's first provincial examination, when he was only seventeen years old, passed high school and passed the exam. He studied hard for many years, but failed in the third provincial examination.

"I also won, ranking thirty-seventh. "Axiang said quickly.

"I won! I won too!" Zhao Cheng laughed loudly, "It's good that I won, it's good that I won."

The ranking is not important, let alone him This name is not too low, and I can give it a try next spring.

Zhao Cheng also got hit, and everyone in the family heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Wangshu smiled and said: "Congratulations to dad, congratulations to brother."

While speaking, something came from outside. The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers indicates the arrival of the messenger.
