The examination process of the college entrance examination is basically no different from the county entrance examination and the government entrance examination. However, the county entrance examination and the government entrance examination are formal examinations that are at the first level in the Ming Dynasty's fourth-level imperial examination, provincial examination, imperial examination, and palace examination.

Therefore, the formality of the college examination is obviously higher than that of the county examination and the government examination. In addition to increasing manpower inside and outside the examination room, the examination paper must be copied and copied, and the review will be more standardized. In addition to introducing the study, Liu Bing will participate in the review of the papers, and will also invite famous scholars within a radius of 500 miles to come to review the papers, ensuring that each paper has no less than two people reviewed it and commented.

June 19th is the last day before the hospital examination. Chen Xi was still locked in the study in the morning and was not allowed to come out for breathing until noon.

Lin Dai and 6 Xier held hands and looked at Chen Xi from afar, like two little resentful women. Since Chen Xi prepared for the exam, the two little loli basically had no chance to play with Chen Xi. At this time, they were just allowed to come over to meet Chen Xi, just like visiting a prison cell.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the exam tomorrow, don't disturb him. Dai'er, take Xi'er to the pharmacy. Your Aunt Sun is busy there, and there is no one to help me with the medicine!"

Zhou always kept in charge of Lin Dai's work, but Liu Xier did nothing every day. Even if she wanted to do something for Lin Dai, she would be flatly rejected by Zhou. In Zhou's eyes, Miss Liu Xier was born and was different from Lin Dai, a child bride. She was not as meticulous as Liu Xier when she was with her little daughter.

Chen Xi said: "Mom, can I go and see my younger brother and sister? I haven't seen each other for several days."

"Your brothers and sisters are all breastfeeding. Do you want to see what they do? Your task now is to study and learn again. Do you understand?"

Chen Xi’s younger brother and sister are less than one year old and have not been weaned yet. It is a bit difficult for a wet nurse to feed her. Occasionally, Zhou also feeds her herself. In her words, she is not a young grandmother from a wealthy family, so it’s already good if someone helps to raise her. How can she get out of it?

Chen Xi stuck out his tongue and pretended that he didn't say anything, he went back to the house to review his homework.

As a result, a rustling sound came from the door. Lin Dai opened the door, brought a bowl in, and placed it on the desk.

Chen Xi looked into the bowl and asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Lin Dai pouted and said, "This is what my mother gave you, saying that she had drunk it to nourish your body."

Chen Xi felt speechlessly asking the sky. How old is he, he still drinks milk? And it is also human milk! Zhou felt that there was nothing he could give him tonic, so he simply used the most direct method to express concern.

Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "You'd better take it back..."

Lin Dai smiled and said, "Mom said she must watch you drink it and take the empty bowl back."

"You are still laughing... This is my mother's wish. I don't want to drink it, so you can drink it." Chen Xi was earnest and tempted.

Lin Dai made a face and ran to the door: "Mom gave it to you, don't drink it, wait for you to be beaten."

When Lin Dai left, Chen Xi continued to pick up the brush to write, but she did not do her homework. Instead, she continued to write his "Jin Ping Mei", which contained "Yu Xiao asked Ruyi'er to squeeze half a cup of milk and went straight to the study to take medicine with Ximen Qing." Chen Xi immediately felt that writing these things at such age was prone to weak fire because her body was not yet mature and could not be released.

Chen Xi had to put down his brush and pick up the books, but these books had been memorized by him for a long time and could not be read in them at all.

At dusk, Zhou and Hui Niang came to visit each other. Seeing a bowl of things on the table, Hui Niang was a little curious, but Zhou shouted sternly: "Why don't you drink it?"

Chen Xi looked a little embarrassed: "Mom. I'm not a child anymore, so I'd better keep it for my younger brother and sister."

Hui Niang suddenly realized something inside and laughed silently: "Xiaolang, this is your mother's wish. You always blame your mother for scolding you, but she feels so painful in her heart."

Zhou cursed: "This kid just doesn't appreciate it... Sister, he doesn't drink it. Have you drunk it?"

Hui Niang looked embarrassed, but she naturally gave Chen Xi a blank look. Then she looked back and said to Zhou: "Sister, don't spend time with me. It's better to leave this kind of thing for the child."

Zhou didn't mind much. Seeing that Chen Xi and Zhou were not drinking, she picked up the bowl and drank it on her own, then put it down and said, "I came out of it myself, and drink it back. I'll go over for dinner and have a break in the evening. Your father will take you to the exam room tomorrow morning. You'll leave before dawn, so don't sleep."

Chen Xi and Hui Niang went out together and happened to meet Shen Mingjun back.

When Shen Mingjun saw Hui Niang being a little panicked, he quickly avoided it. Hui Niang also intentionally did not get too close to Shen Mingjun.

As Hui Niang became more and more famous in the chamber of commerce, there were more rumors about her outside. People were afraid of being famous and pigs were afraid of being strong. If Hui Niang was born as a man, there would be less trouble. The problem was that she was a woman and a beautiful widow. She had a good relationship with the Shen family, and it was inevitable that others would tell her how she and Shen Mingjun were.

The supper was one hour earlier than usual. Before dark, Chen Xi picked up the bowl of rice. After he had eaten, he had to go into the house to sleep. Hui Niang had to help prepare the pen and ink for Chen Xi's exam, as well as some food and water for the future, put it in the test basket, and then check it for Chen Xi to check if something was left.

"I used to have those two exams. Although my mother was nervous, it was not like this time. I couldn't sleep these days. I dreamed that you passed the scholar and your grandmother came to the city to congratulate you. I was happy that I woke up with a smile. After waking up, I couldn't sleep. It was hard to dream it was all right. You said God is the same, and I didn't even let me do a beautiful dream for a while..."

Chen Xi could probably understand my mother's mentality. Although he passed the county and government exams at a young age, it was a preparatory exam after all, and it would not change his social status after passing it. However, once Chen Xi passed the exam, Zhou would be the scholar's mother. Even when he met customers in business, he could speak much more.

Chen Xi pulled the rice grains and said, "Mom, I will try my best to make your dream come true."

Zhou Shi glanced at Chen Xi: "Forget it, I don't ask you to pass this time. I have thought about it. It would be great if you can become a scholar before you are twenty years old. Your uncle is also a scholar at the age of twenty. Didn't your grandmother hold him to you all day long? If you pass the scholar, your mother will save money for you to take the provincial exam and make you a juren, but before that, you have to get married with Dai'er first."

When Zhou spoke gently, he heard her words, Lin Dai's face suddenly turned red. Recently, Zhou's nose was raised by her. She thought her future mother-in-law had disliked her, but she didn't expect that she suddenly mentioned her marriage to Chen Xi at this time.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Mom, can I marry Dai'er if I become a scholar?"

Zhou clapped his fingers and calculated, and muttered, "If you don't win this class, you will be almost the same age in two years. You should be sensible at that time. Dai'er is fifteen years old and can be a good family. Then she will give birth to a big fat boy." Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Mom promises you that you will be the scholar. You will work harder."

What to work for?

A middle-aged scholar or a big fat boy?

Chen Xi thought to himself, after all, I didn't calculate what would happen if I got to the top of the year. If he really "lucky" passed this year, even if he got married with Lin Dai, he would probably not be able to "reconcile the family". Lin Dai is now a girl in bud, but his seed has not yet sprouted.

After dinner, Zhou rushed Chenxi back to her room to sleep. In midsummer, it was almost time for Xu to go to the sky and the sky was not completely dark. As soon as Chenxi lay down, Zhou was worried and came to check.

"It's not OK to have this window opened, the idiot is still sweating all over... Husband, why don't I stay and fan him?" Zhou took the fan over and was about to fan Chen Xi, preparing to wait until Chen Xi fell asleep before leaving.

Shen Mingjun said: "Let Dai'er stay and fan him. You have to get up early tomorrow and go see Xiaolang off..."

Zhou nodded: "That's true. I'll get up early tomorrow morning to cook some food for him." As she said that, she handed the fan to Lin Dai, "Dai'er, fan it carefully, and wait until the naive baby falls asleep before you go back to your room. If you get up at night, come and see if Xiaolang is sweating. If he sweats, wipe it, do you know?"

Chen Xixin said that my mother's care was really meticulous and arranged for Lin Dai, the future daughter-in-law, to do it for her, which shows that I have prepared to let go when she grows up.

When Zhou left, Lin Dai shook with a fan. The little girl said with a little displeasure: "You... you must be admitted to the scholar this year."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Why, little lady, are you in such a hurry to marry me?"

Lin Dai hit Chen Xi with a fan, as if he was scolding him for talking nonsense, and then continued to shake the fan and said, "Mom said, only if you win the scholar can marry me. If you fail this year, then you will have to wait two years later. At that time, Mom may ask you to marry whom. If you fail the year after year, I will be sixteen at that time..."

Chen Xi thought to himself, it turns out that the kind of mother-in-law there is, the kind of daughter-in-law there is.

My mother has been poisoned by her grandmother Li, and now she has started to poison Lin Dai again. In the past, the little girl didn't like talking, but now in front of him, the little girl is really like a housekeeper when she nagged, and even her tone is no different from when Zhou's chatter.

Chen Xi interrupted Lin Dai: "Okay, okay, I will definitely become a scholar this year and marry you."

Lin Dai smiled and said, "Well, this is what you said. If you missed..." The little girl paused a little, "If you don't allow you to marry me, you can take me to elope."

Hearing Lin Dai's words, Chen Xi immediately felt that he was not very good.

Or the stories he told the little girl on weekdays were too unearthable, such as Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, A Chinese Ghost Story, Age of Love and Love, Always of Love and Love, Romantic and romantic stories that made the little girl come into contact with something that she should not be touched at this age, which made her have such bold ideas.

However, this just shows that the little girl was just in her first love, and the little girl placed all her longing for a beautiful love on him alone.
