Chapter 1160 Government Examination
Yan Gaomin thought that this time, he would never let himself miss it again.
Only when you have achieved fame can you be qualified to speak to noble people.
Yan Gaomin buried his head and concentrated on answering the questions.
Outside, Zhu Da and Zhu Er knew that Zhu San would not come out so quickly, so they divided their labors and cooperated. One person was guarding outside to prevent accidents; the other took the list opened by Zhu San and started making purchases.
With Liu Nong here, Zhu Da doesn't have to worry about being deceived, passing off quality goods, or passing off fake goods as genuine.
This is the advantage of "having people outside makes it easier to do things".
It stands to reason that with so many servants in the Zhu family, there is no need for Zhu Da or Zhu Er to handle this kind of thing himself. He can just leave it to the servants directly. But the problem is, Zhu Da and Zhu Er have never done it before. What if Zhu Er does it?
What about fooling them?
This time Zhu Sanlai and the others came out to "gain experience", so naturally he wanted to find ways to give them some training opportunities so that they could learn more things.
There is no need for Zhu Da or Zhu Er to do it well, but after general experience, you can know a little bit.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er didn't stupidly insist on waiting for Zhu San to finish the exam and drag them back with the big carriage and small carriage when everyone went back together. Instead, they followed Zhu San's arrangement and rented it directly after completing the purchase.
Escort, let the other party help transport the goods.
After they finished their work here, Zhu San also finished the exam.
Compared with the county examination, the government examination was obviously more tiring. When Zhu San came out, his steps were sluggish.
Brothers Zhu Da and Zhu Er were so frightened that they quickly stepped forward to help him: "Third brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I want to go back and take a nap." Drawing on the lessons learned last time, Zhu San decided to tell him in advance that he wanted to take a nap by himself, so that his two brothers would not worry in vain.
"Hey, let's go back quickly, and you can sleep quickly..."
He helped Zhu Da get on the carriage, let Zhu Da eat something, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and then let him drink a bowl of medicine and go to sleep.
Zhu Da also arranged for a servant to go to the inn and ask about Mr. Cen's situation. If he needed to run errands, he could borrow someone from them.
Not to mention, Zhu Da sent people to party.
It turned out that Cen Guangji fainted when he came out. He was really unlucky. He was still young, but he was assigned a bad number. Now he was in trouble.
What is the stinky number? It is the place closest to the latrine. Whenever someone goes to the toilet, he will be the first to know.
I also met one or two people who drank cold water and had diarrhea. Oops, you can smell that stench even if your nose is stuffed with something...
Poor Cen Guangji, how else can he do the questions well?
But he was also stubborn, and he insisted on holding on until the end of the exam, and then he came out together with everyone else.
As soon as he saw Mr. Cen, Cen Guangji's tense nerves relaxed, and then he couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.
No matter how experienced Mr. Cen was, he would be frightened to see his son like this.
Fortunately, after seeing the doctor, they said it was nothing serious, just a little cold, coupled with the fear... cough cough, I fainted, I just need to go back and take good care of myself.
When Zhu San woke up and heard what happened to Cen Guangji, he was also sad: "I didn't expect to meet him."
"Yes, who would have thought that this is the first time I take the government examination and I will encounter a bad name. No matter how well I study, there is nothing I can do if I encounter a bad name." Zhu Da handed the medicine bowl to Zhu San and said
, "Fortunately, he is fine. Mr. Cen is just a son. If something happens, it will be too late to cry."
"Brother, I'm awake now, don't I need to drink medicine?" This didn't happen last time.
"Drink, you must drink it. This is what you said after waking up, to replenish the body..." Zhu Da said with certainty and told Zhu San that everyone would drink a bowl after taking the exam. He took the prescription to the pharmacy to confirm
It was only boiled after it was cooked.
The exam was so hard, and if others had it, his third brother had to have it too.
Zhu San didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only drink a full stomach of medicine, then get up, wash his face and mouth, and go to eat.
After recuperating and feeling like there was nothing wrong with them, the three Zhu brothers planned to go to the inn again to confirm Cen Guangji's condition.
Just as I was going out, I heard crying sounds coming from next door, as if they were saying that if something happens to so-and-so, I won't be done with him.
Because they were in a hurry to see Cen Guangji, the three Zhu brothers did not listen carefully.
But on the way, Zhu Er whispered to them: "I know what's going on. Isn't there a man named Qin who lives there? The family seems to be in good condition, but he looks down on people very much. The man named Yan... is the one before
The one who keeps coming to see Third Brother is particularly difficult to deal with."
"On the day when my third brother came out from the exam, didn't I run in and out? I happened to see a doctor over there. It seemed that the man named Qin was dying."
…
Zhu Er didn't know the specifics. He only knew that there was a scholar named Qin over there.
But at that time, they were thinking about Mr. Cen's son, and there was Zhu San who was still "sleeping" at home, so they didn't care about other people's affairs.
When they arrived at the inn, Cen Guangji woke up early. He didn't sleep as long as Zhu San, but he was not in good spirits and was very sick.
Zhu San slept until the next day and was full of energy; but Cen Guangji was different. He was half asleep and half awake. He looked like he was awake, but in fact it was because he was too weak and couldn't sleep.
Very good.
"Mr. Cen, it's too miserable here. If it's convenient, you can ask Guangji to move to our place first. Ours is a small independent courtyard. It's convenient to make medicine or something." Zhu San advised.
, "If Mr. Cen is worried that Guang Ji is the only one who has not had a good past, there is no need. Guang Ji is not feeling well and there is nothing we can do. After all, his senior brothers do not want anything to happen to this junior brother."
Those students naturally did not dare to respond, and they all said that it was okay for them to stay in the inn. The main reason was Guangji. He was already feeling unwell and should receive better care.
Not only did Mr. Cen help Cen Guangji move out, he also helped pack things and send people there.
As for themselves, they did not worry Mr. Cen. Anyway, they were all older than Cen Guangji. Some of them were married, and some of them took the lead in taking care of the younger ones. As long as they did not carry Mr. Cen around on their backs,
, basically there is no big problem.
Mr. Cen was also worried about Cen Guangji's health, so he could only express his gratitude to everyone with a grateful face.
Although the yard Zhu San and the others live in is not big, they used to have one brother living in the same house, and they also brought a woman who was responsible for cleaning and cooking, and a boy who was responsible for driving the carriage and running errands, so the house was full.
.
The Zhu brothers gave up the best room to Cen and his son, and their three brothers were squeezed together. Cen and his son were naturally very grateful.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er were also planning to make a room for Zhu San to live alone, but Zhu San refused: "No, it's okay for me to live with the eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother doesn't dislike me snoring at night."
"
"Hahaha... I fell asleep as soon as I went to bed. How could I hear you snoring? Don't let my snoring wake you up." Zhu laughed.
"Then let's compare who woke whom at night."
