Chapter 611 The Memory She Received Seemed to Be Incomplete

Bai Yunxi twitched her lips,

"Thank you for your good words. Although Xiaowu has a talent for studying, he has been staying at home for three years after all, so he always needs to slow down. After the sacrifice is over, I will prepare a gift for Xiaowu, and go to the town to visit Chang Xiucai first, and let him give me some advice."

"What are the specific rules? Listen to Chang Xiucai's opinion."

The man is a friend of the old scholar. With his help, Xiaowu will be much smoother.

In the past, Xiaowu followed his father to study, and his homework was always taught by him. If he wants to sprint for the provincial examination, he must worship a teacher and ask a famous teacher for advice.

No matter how talented a player is, he can't just work behind closed doors.

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, the old man nodded, but did not object.

"It's a good thing to have someone to help with the advice. You did the right thing, but Xiaowu has not slacked off in the past few years. He has read all the books for the imperial examination left by his father. After passing the examination, it's okay to try it. Even if you don't pass, it's okay."

Listening to the old man's reminder, Bai Yunxi smiled and didn't object. Not to mention directly participating in the provincial examination, she had no objection to directly taking the top prize. You have to be able to pass it, right?

Thinking about it, you have to consult Chang Xiucai for the specifics. She only has some written knowledge of the imperial examinations during this period, and the details have to be from the local natives.

Bai Yuntang coughed,

"Dad, the imperial examination is not a trivial matter. You can't force it. Do you think it's easy to pass the examination? You have to stand out from many students.

Listening to Bai Yuntang's refutation, the old man raised his beard and snorted,

"You don't have to say this. Although I'm old, I'm not confused. Xiaowu is very talented. He was the first to be admitted in the county exam. The headmaster of Qingyu Academy said that Xiaowu is one of the few students with extremely high talent that he has ever seen. "

"I was there at the time and met the headmaster with Yunhui. He also said that he hoped to see him again in Qingyu Academy in a few years..."

Speaking of this, the old man stopped talking. He must have thought of Yunhui, and his eyes were full of regret.

Listening to the proud tone of the old man, Bai Yunxi was stunned. The original owner only knew that Xiaowu was the most outstanding one in his batch of county exams. She had no memory of the headmaster's lecture. She didn't know whether the old scholar didn't tell her or the memory she received was incomplete.

"No wonder Third Uncle is so confident in Xiaowu. Yunhui didn't mention this to me. ”

At critical moments, a universal scapegoat has to appear.

The old man and Bai Yunshan were not surprised. In their minds, imperial examinations and the like are men's business, and it doesn't matter whether women know it or not.

"Studying requires modesty and calmness. Xiaowu is young, and the headmaster has known Yunhui for a long time. This was said by the headmaster in front of Yunhui and me. Xiaowu was not present at the time."

The old man came back to his senses and waved his hand.

"If Xiaowu passes the exam, he might meet the headmaster. His surname is Zhang, and he is a respected scholar. Listening to his communication with Yunhui, the relationship between the two should be more than just familiarity. Pay more attention in the future, and you might really meet him."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, Uncle San. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about this. "

Bai Yunxi nodded. Considering the relationship between the original owner and his wife, she felt that the memory she had received should be an incomplete version.

The one that was missing after knocking his head should be a fragment.

After staying at the third uncle's house for a while and talking to his cousin, Bai Yunxi returned home.

During dinner in the evening, Bai Yunxi told Xiaowu what the third uncle said as a joke, and couldn't help but tease,

"Your third grandfather is old and dares to think of anything. He wants you to take two exams a year, which most people dare not even think of. Originally, I planned to wait until you passed the examination and then go directly to the county school. You will have a better chance of taking the provincial examination three years later."

Listening to his mother's tone, Xiaowu blinked,

"I understand what the third grandfather meant. He wanted me to try my hand. Even if I failed, it would be considered as gaining experience. I did think about the provincial examination, but it's too early now. "

At present, he only needs to prepare for the college entrance examination next year. He didn't even get the title of scholar, so why did he want to take the provincial examination?

He is not stupid, he knows his own limitations, and he should take one step at a time.

Listening to Xiaowu's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded with relief,

"It's good that you understand it in your heart. When you go back to visit Scholar Chang, do you need your mother to accompany you?"

Xiaowu thought for a while and shook his head,

"There are too many things to do at home, so mother doesn't need to go with me. I can take Renyi to visit. ”

He is not a child anymore. Besides, everyone in the family is busy with things. He can’t help with other things, and he can’t add more burden to his mother.

Listening to Xiaowu’s plan, Bai Yunxi thought about it and didn’t force it. As long as she prepared enough gifts, Xiaowu could go alone.

If she went, the scholar’s ​​wife would have to come out to receive her, which would cause trouble for others.

In a blink of an eye, the day of construction arrived.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Du prepared the altar and asked the second and fourth sons to carry it to the slope together.

When the villagers learned that they would start construction today, some of them went to watch the excitement. For a while, the slope was full of villagers.

Just as they were ready, Cui Zhangmo arrived with the construction team.

As the person presiding over the sacrificial ceremony, Bai Yunshan recited a few prayers according to custom, and bowed to the four directions.

Finally, he took Bai Yunxi to dig a shovel of soil on the foundation, and the whole sacrificial ceremony was over.

After the construction started, Bai Yunxi was free.

Because the whole process was packaged, everything was arranged by Cui Zhangmo, even the quantity and time of daily delivery of bricks and tiles from the kiln were required by him.

Here at Baiyun River, all we have to do is wait to pay.

However, as the owner, it is also appropriate to lend a hand and help from time to time.

Therefore, Baiyunxi asked Du to provide hot water for the construction team. Later, I found out that they had built the stove themselves. After asking, I found out.

According to the requirements of the construction team, everyone brings their own dry food. But it's autumn now, and the weather occasionally gets a little cold. In order to prevent everyone from getting upset, I set up a stove nearby to heat food and boil water.

Seeing how busy they were, Baiyunxi would bring them some vegetables every day when he went over to check on them. Later, Du Shi reminded them and sent them a jar of sauerkraut at home, just as a vegetable for them.

Of course, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Bai Yunxi jokingly added that his family had a lot of sauerkraut, so treating them to it had nothing to do with wages.

Cui Zhangmo was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"My little sister has always exaggerated that she is a cheerful person. It is said that she does not have much contact with the older sister, but she inexplicably trusts Aunt Zhao's vision. Don't talk about her, Cui also gives a thumbs up to the older sister."

She is worthy of being a noble lady, her knowledge is extraordinary, and her heart is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
