The Transmigrated Li Jin’s Daily Farming Life

In recent days, unless Li Jin is too busy to get out of his body, under normal circumstances, he will follow Zhushan to study the reconstruction of the ship.

In order to let the body quickly adapt to the cold, he even only wore a thin jacket.

In the cold winter season, no one except the officials of the upper dynasty wears such thin clothes.After all, officials should not be obstructive when facing the saint.

And the clothes of pedestrians on the road are so thick and thick, even Zhu Shan is slightly bloated.

Along the way, Zhu Shan glanced at Li Jin several times. Although he knew that Li Jin was about to take part in the test, there were many high school students in the capital who would'torture' themselves like Li Jin.

But understanding is to understand, he felt cold looking at Li Jin, but he couldn't persuade Li Jin.

After all, being able to test is the most important thing. If you endure hardships, you can become a master.

A bleak cold wind blew, and Zhu Shan did not care about his demeanor, and copied his hands into his cuffs, as if to wrap himself up tightly before letting go.

After another ten days, Zhu Shan walked with Li Jin again, and he couldn't help admiring Li Jin's physical adaptability.

After all, Li Jin wore such a thin dress at first, and occasionally sneezed, and his face could also tell that he was enduring hard.

But now Li Jin's complexion is as usual when he walks, as if he can't feel the cold wind at all.

Zhu Shan asked him, Li Jin smiled and said, "I am used to it."

This is really not because he has a special physique, but because he has been exercising and taking cold showers every day for six years. With the foundation of his body, he can adjust so quickly.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the eve before the test.

Qin Muwen carefully packed his baskets and counted the items over and over again.

Qin Muwen asked many neighbors about the food in the examination room, and made a lot of tricks, but the only thing he could bring in was three scallion pancakes, some cabbage leaves, potatoes and dried buns.

In fact, if you want to take the meat with you today, it's not impossible, but the size of the book basket is limited. If the candidate can fit it, then let him go.

But Li Jin felt that the meat was not easy to bring. Even if the family members prepared it, they would have to heat it with water after entering the room to eat it.

Chunwei's charcoal basin is not only for cooking, but also for heating. The experience of countless'predecessors' with blood and tears is one word, saving.

Therefore, after the exchange between Li Jin and Qin Muwen, he still planned to bring some simple dry food. Anyway, it only lasts for nine days.

Early in the morning of the ninth day of February, Li Jin got up to wash in the yard and saw the oil lamp in the main house light up.

Qin Muwen went out to pour water on him, then he rolled up his hair and tied a ribbon.

At this moment, the day was still dark, and it was only a little after Yinshi (three o'clock). Qin Muwen went to the kitchen to heat up the meal. After the two had eaten together, he lighted the lantern and sent Li Jin to the front door.

Qin Muwen’s lips curled up, revealing his first smile in the past few days, and then quickly kissed Li Jin’s lips.

"People in the village say that I am blessed. I now want to give all the blessing to my husband. I just hope that everything goes well."

Li Jin also had a smile in his eyes, rubbing his head: "Little Lucky Star, I'm leaving."

Afterwards, he opened the door, carrying a book basket, and playing a lantern to go to the Beijing Gongyuan.

This year is also Enke. There are not as many candidates participating in the test as in previous years, so Jiangnan Gongyuan is not open.

The Jingcheng Gongyuan has been expanded to more than nine thousand rooms, which is enough to accommodate all the candidates.

Although there are only two thousand juren in the country every three years, the imperial examination has been followed for so many years, and the number of juren has already exceeded 10,000.

In previous years, when the southern waterways were icy and travel was inconvenient, the emperor would allow candidates from Jiangnan to take part in the test directly at Jiangnan Gongyuan.

The southern style of writing is more prosperous. When the country was stable, there were even scenes of Wan Ju people taking part in the test at Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Li Jin remembers Wan Yun saying that Jiangnan Gongyuan has been expanded to more than 18,000 rooms, and the entire Qinhuai River beside the Confucius Temple is the Gongyuan.

Now your Majesty is diligent in politics and loves the people, the people live in peace, and the number of scholars is increasing day by day. It seems that the expansion will continue in the future.

Li Jin thought, fortunately, he was born in a peaceful and stable era.

If the war was continuous and the beacon was everywhere, maybe he would not have the chance of imperial examination.However, he still has the skills of TCM that he is not very proficient in. In the future, he will be a barefoot doctor and can earn money to support his family.

Li Jin stood in line at the place prescribed by the Ministry of Ritual, and his ears were full of the trembling teeth of the people around him.

After a while, finally began to sing the trumpet, and those who were called to the trumpet came forward in order, and only after a body search could they visit the statue of Confucius.

Similar to the Confucius Temple in Jiangnan Gongyuan, each Gongyuan will have a statue of the Confucius, and candidates must pay homage to the Master before entering the room.

"Hongyan Village, Li Jin."

When Li Jin was called, he handed the lantern to the guard next to him. After being checked by the two instructors, he followed the instructions to search.

Li Jin put the book basket on the table, and the natural person quickly took it away.

According to the regulations, he took off his leather jacket, robe, middle clothes, and trousers.

Every piece of clothing must also be checked for entrainment and cheat sheet before it can be returned to them.

The difference from the examination in the township examination is that the officials in the examination examination take away the candidates' shoes and socks, feel the thickness of the base, and check whether there is any'pinched feet' inside.

The pinch is something someone deliberately made a little thinner on the toe of the shoe. After putting in a few cheat sheets, the thickness is exactly the same as the rest of the shoe. If you don't check it carefully, you really can't find it.

However, everyone is from a literary background, and everyone knows the consequences of bringing in cheat sheets.

That would directly be expelled from fame!

Therefore, even if the inspections are becoming stricter and stricter, everyone is not flustered at all, after all, they are really open.

Li Jin thought that he would be fine after taking off the inspection, but the officials directly asked him to take a bath.

You can only dry and change clothes after taking a bath.

After such a toss, everyone has checked it out, and the hour has passed.

When Li Jin sat in the room, he only felt that some parts of his body were not dry after the bath, and the water stains directly on the clothes, making people feel more and more cold.

But Li Jin didn't have time to deal with this for the time being, he had to spend all his time answering questions.

There is an extra crock in the room number of the test, which allows candidates to use the crock to hold excrement for the three days.

To put it another way, it means that the room cannot be released for three days.

Furthermore, the test-takers had to eat, drink and sleep in the room that was four feet long (1.3 meters) and less than five feet deep (about 1.5 meters) within three days.

Of course, the most important thing is to write a beautiful article.

The first session of the test is similar to that of the township test. It is the most time-consuming and the most time-consuming part of the four-book essays and five-jing essays that are related to the historical theory.

If you want to make a good impression on the examiner, you must get a good answer in the first game.

The first question from Li Jin's side is that "Zhou and Tang are more important than the outside, and the Qin and Wei are less important than the inside, and each has its own merits."

This question seems easy to write. As long as you understand the philosophy and history of governing the country in Zhou, Tang and Qin Wei, it is not difficult to answer it.

Li Jin probably had an idea in his mind and began to look at the second question.

Several questions in the four books must be answered, while the questions in the five verses are still four out of twenty.

Therefore, Li Jin chose to read the questions first. He knew that every question was answered as a pass.

But if an article is to be truly written, it must be one link after another.

Just like the last rural exam, the big reason Li Jin can stand out is that his five scriptures combine the four points of water conservancy, farming and mulberry, arithmetic and shipbuilding, which are closely linked to each other, which makes the chief examiner shine.

This time Li Jin had a bolder idea. The four books began to ask questions from historical theories, so he focused on the river transportation and shipbuilding he wanted to introduce.

Speaking of the Grand Canal in Zhou and Tang, “using the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall” to introduce my own views.

Each essay is progressive, allowing your own ideas and conclusions to penetrate into the examiner’s thinking.

Thinking about it this way, Li Jin's thoughts became much clearer. Once he found his point, he started to list the ideas one by one.

On the first day, Li Jin finished reading all the questions at noon. He realized that he had been sitting for a long time. When he wanted to stand up, he realized that his legs had been frozen and numb.

He put down the pen, shook his hand into a fist, and lightly hammered his calf.

When the calf could move slightly, Li Jin left a sixth of the charcoal fire in the brazier and lit it.He did not rush to boil the water, but put the potatoes on the charcoal fire, and then put the scallion pancakes on the potatoes to bake.

In winter, it is cold, sweat does not evaporate as quickly as in autumn, and the demand for water is not as great as in autumn.

When the pancakes were hot, the potatoes were not yet cooked. Li Jin ate the pancakes first, and then asked the guards to fetch water, put the pot on the brazier, and moved the brazier to his feet.

In this way, he was warming up.

With the brazier by her side, the body's temperature gradually increased. When the charcoal fire was almost finished, Li Jin drank hot water to warm her body while answering questions.

He had specific ideas and drafted the article quickly, but it was dark early in the winter, and Li Jin felt that the room was dark before the unitary hour (5 to 7 in the evening).

Li Jinqiang held the candle until his eyes were sore.

Taking advantage of his own writings, he directly listed three four books in drafts, then blew out the candle, re-boiled water, and heated potatoes to eat.

Li Jin wrapped up the leftover cabbage, scallion pancakes and steamed buns, and planned to put them on hand when he went to bed at night.

If a mouse comes, he can also chase away immediately.

Li Jin didn't plan to start a fire at night, it didn't matter if it was cold, but it must not cause a fire.

There used to be candidates who were afraid of the cold in the middle of the night, and the living were sleeping in the brazier.

In the end, Room No. was abruptly burned, and dozens of Juren who were close to him were also burned to death.

Therefore, some aspects of the imperial examination are actually fate.

Li Jin put the two wooden boards together and put them on the ground, and piled the crock by the door. After thinking about it, he put the extinguished brazier and bamboo basket beside the crock.

If he accidentally kicked the earthen jar at night, it might abruptly ruin his thoughts on answering questions.

The answer sheets and the plain papers for drafting are stacked on the side of his head, which is the safest.

With such an arrangement, Li Jin took off his robe, wrapped one piece and covered one piece, and fell asleep slowly.

When Li Jin woke up, he thought it was already the next day. He heard the snoring noise coming from around him, and he saw the dark night through the door of the number room.Only then did he realize that it was probably just over now.

One night, Li Jin was awakened three or four times from the cold. As soon as the snoring in the surrounding rooms stopped, he followed up to boil hot water and light candles to answer the questions.

During the spring season, the days are short and the nights are long, and each candidate gets three candles, which is fair.

On the second day, Li Jin drafted five scriptures and polished up the entire seven essays.

In this way, only transcription is left for the third day.

By this time, only half of Li Jin's three candles were left.

The scallion pancakes with boiled cabbage have also been eaten, tomorrow I can only eat potatoes and steamed buns.

Originally, Li Jin planned to make scallion pancakes a day, but there was a crock pot here, so he couldn't cook lightly and eat them.

The moment Li Jin came out of the examination room, his pace was fast.Jun Zhuo, who had a fate of one side, only had time to see Li Jin's back, and he couldn't see anyone if he tried to find him.

On the contrary, many people gathered around him quickly.

All these people have joy on their faces: "Enke is not difficult, I have answered them all."

"Me too, just memorized them all."

Jun Zhuo smiled and congratulated them, and the group walked towards the inn.

At the same time, the examiners in the inner curtain also began to copy the candidates' first answers.

There were more than 4,000 people participating in Chunwei this time.

According to the ratio, about two hundred people can be admitted as Gongshi.

The results of the test will be announced within 20 days after the test, so all examiners have heavy tasks on their shoulders.

Li Jin went home and took a shower, holding the little bun... While his father was sleeping, in the curtain of the Gongyuan courtyard in Beijing, a young examiner suddenly exclaimed.

"This, this word is also so beautifully written, I have never seen such a beautiful word in my life!"
