74. Crying

The first test of Mr. Xue taking disciples made He Zijin think of the college entrance examination in his previous life...

I drank the porridge early in the morning, but it was actually very early. Mrs. He and Mrs. Shen said, "Let's go now, go early and arrange a good seat. If you are impressed, you can come back early."

Chen Nian still wanted to go and follow him, He Zijin said, "You can come back in half an hour at most. A Nian will wait at home. You and A Lie will read the Thousand-word text I taught yesterday. When I come back to check, if anyone can't read it, he will take off his pants and spank him."

Chen Niante wanted to say that he had read all of them yesterday. But due to Shen's expression, he didn't dare to say anything. If Shen had any expression, Shen was not Mrs. He, who always kept his emotions on his face. In fact, Shen had no expression, just like usual, but Chen Nian had this sensitive intuition, and he felt that Shen was unhappy. Chen Nian felt that Shen and his mother seemed to be like his mother before. He never laughed and griefed like the women outside. His mother never lost her temper at him, but Chen Nian knew that his mother was not happy. This complex emotion could not be fully expressed in words, but the intuition in his heart would not be wrong. He reluctantly sent He Zijin to the door and said, "Sister Zijin, you and the third sister are back soon."

"I know, don't worry." He Zijin muttered, "I guess there is no show."

Old Madam He was angry, "Go and go quickly! If you don't pass the exam, you won't be beaten to death!"

Chen Nian quickly shouted, "Sister Zijin, you will definitely pass the exam!" He was afraid that Sister Zijin would not pass the exam and would be beaten, so he added later, "Sister Zijin will definitely pass the exam!"

Mrs. He is very happy, "The child's eyes are the most vivid, and A Nian's words are sure to be effective."

He Lie also made fun of it, "Can pass the exam! Can pass the exam!"

The whole family laughed, and Shen told Miss He Zijin the third girl, "Don't worry, no one knows what they take, just take a closer look. I will make braised lamb for you at noon."

He Zijin said, "If there is fish ball soup again, I will definitely be more motivated to take the exam."

Shen scolded, "If you talk too much, you will be beaten up."

He Zijin and the third girl went to the examination room hand in hand.

He Zijin came very early, and even the third girl felt that it was not too late. The He family had no lazy people, so they got up early enough, so they naturally could not go much later. But... it was crowded with people...

I think the college entrance examination was just like this back then. This is He Zijin’s idea.

The third girl’s idea was, “My good dear is more lively than the temple fair.”

He Zijin put his fat hand on his forehead and tiptoed to stretch his neck to look into the distance. Unfortunately, due to his height limitation, he could not see anything except blocking the crowds in front of him.

The third girl said, "So many people have to wait."

He Zijin had no good idea, and looked at the front man and said, "It's not a good idea to rush in line. It's not a good idea to squeeze in at the entrance of the embroidery shop like this."

"Who doesn't want to go in one earlier?" Thinking that He Zijin is young and stops being squeezed, the third girl said, "Let's stand up and not squeeze with others. How much difference can one get one by one sooner or later?"

He Zijin was not happy to squeeze in the bustle, so he went to the quieter roadside with the third girl. He Zijin looked around and there were people she knew. He Zijin shouted, "Brother Han, you are here too~"

He Han was squeezing his sister in. When he heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw that it was He Zijin, so he brought his sister over and laughed, "Sister Zijin, why are you here to become a disciple?"

He Zijin smiled, "I came with my cousin."

"It's normal for the third sister to come. Aren't you studying in the Chen family?"

"You can eat everything in one trick. If you can learn a hundred taels of craftsmanship, you will have a job in this life." He Zijin smiled at He Han's sister He Peipei, and said, "If you know Peipei comes, just ask her to join us."

He Han glanced at the crowd in front of the embroidery house and said, "How long can you wait for these many people? Behind me, I will take you in so far as to rank in front." He Han is tall and has the strength to squeeze in.

He Zijin said, "It's better to persuade the people who are here to sign up to line up. It's not a way to squeeze in like this." They are all from the same county, and Bishui County is not big, so they look down and see each other. In fact, most of them know each other.

He Han, "I'm in a hurry to open the exam at this moment, so who is willing to listen to you and queue up?"

Several people were talking about the crowds of people. For a moment, several embroidery ladies who were familiar to the third girl also arrived, among which He Qi, who was more outstanding in embroidery than the third girl. He Qi was about the same size as the third girl, and had a clear and beautiful face, but his eyes were a little blue. It was thought that it was caused by lack of sleep or excessive use of his eyes. He Qi took her sister He Xuan, and He Xuan looked older than He Zijin. After everyone greeted him, they realized that He Xuan was indeed two years older than He Zijin.

He Qi sighed, "I really don't know when these many people will wait."

He Zijin smiled, "I want me to say, it's useless to squeeze. This is not a matter of squeezing. I signed up yesterday. Could it be that if anyone is ahead, he will ask whoever takes the exam first? This is no rules. The embroidery workshop recruits people and must have their own rules. Maybe the order of registration will follow. Those who register early will try first, and those who are late will try later."

The third girl said, "This makes sense."

He Qi said, "I heard that there were many people who did not sign up yesterday, and many of them came to make up for the registration."

He Zijin said, "There is no need to hurry. They will register today and they will be ranked behind us."

An old embroidery lady named Li said, "Fortunately, the embroidery workshop is about to open."

Many people know each other. Although today is a competitive relationship, when they come early this morning, they get together to talk and talk. Fortunately, the sun is good now in the cold weather, and everyone is warm in the sun.

Until the sun was out and the embroidery workshop opened, what Zijin said was that he entered the venue in the order of yesterday's registration. As for those who registered, they had to wait until these people who came to the exam were arranged to enter the exam room before they could register.

He Han entrusted his sister to He Zijin, "If I go in one place and take care of Peipei, she will not be as smart as you." He Han is completely Gu's sister, but He Peipei has long disliked He Zijin. Especially when she heard her brother say that she was not so smart, He Pei glared at her brother fiercely, "You are waiting outside! I'm in the front, so I won't touch you!" After that, it was He Peipei's turn to order, and she ignored her brother and went in angrily.

He Zijin was so happy, He Han scratched his head and sighed, "I'm so annoying! I'm willing to bring her here." It wasn't his mother's instructions, so he insisted on sending his sister to him.

He Zijin and the third girl were also in front of each other. When they heard their names, they went in. Not to mention, because the order with He Peipei was not far away, they were really taking the exam together. The third girl had been working part-time in the embroidery workshop, so there was no need to say that her needlework was not difficult, and He Zijin could handle it, but she was not very good at doing it. He Peipei glanced at He Zijin's needlework, snorted, and raised her chin proudly. He Zijin ignored her and tilted her head to see the third girl's needlework. It turned out to be very exquisite.

After trying needlework and cultural courses, He Zijin is average in needlework, and cultural courses can be ranked among girls in Bishui County. The main reason is that men have little chance of education these days, so girls are naturally even lower. He Zijin, who can recite "Thousand Characters", "The Book of Songs", "Thousand Family Poems" and "The Analects of Confucius" has become an anomaly. He Zijin said that the intellectual light on her body is simply unconcealed and shines on the world!

The examiner was Aunt Li. Aunt Li had never met He Zijin and knew her, and said, "I heard from your grandmother that you have been studying since childhood, and you are really good at studying."

He Zijin said in a fake manner, "I just recognize a few words randomly."

Aunt Li smiled, "You want to learn craftsmanship, will you stop studying in the future?"

He Zijin said, "Studying is not about following the teacher every day. As long as you have a heart and learn everywhere, you don't have to stick to the form."

Aunt Li looked at He Zijin and was very suspicious of who taught her Gang's words, and said, "It's a pity that you have such talent but don't study."

"If you study, you can't take the exam for fame and fortune. It's better to learn skills and make a living." Nowadays, women can't take the civil service exam for no matter how knowledgeable they are. He Zijin has already thought about it. Anyway, she can recognize her words and can read books at any time if she wants to read them. She doesn't have a skill and always feels very safe. Besides, she also likes embroidery.

He Zijin had already made other candidates look at me when Aunt Li asked this a few questions. Aunt Li sent someone to the re-examination sign to their sisters. Someone told them the time for the re-examination, so they went home.

However, because of the existence of these two annoying Xiao Ming next door: in terms of needlework, she could not catch up with the third girl; in terms of knowledge, she could not catch up with He Zijin; in terms of intelligence, she seemed not outstanding. Moreover, what she hated the most was that she was assigned to this comparison group! So, He Peipei failed the exam tragically.

When the same examination room went out, He Han squeezed in front and waited to pick up his sister. Seeing that his sister looked unlucky, he quickly comforted him, "If you can't pass the exam, you can't pass the exam. If you can't pass the exam, you won't be upset about this."

He Peipei's eyes were covered with tears: Who said that many people could not pass the exam? The two annoying people next door of her house passed the exam. She also had a stinky big brother who was stabbing the knife in the heart. When her brother saw the third girl He Zijin coming out, he asked, "Sister Zijin, did you pass the exam?"

He Zijin smiled, "It's okay, the question is not difficult."

The third girl was naturally happy to have the re-examination, "You know, I was doing work in the embroidery workshop, and the needlework was always a little better."

He Han is a generous person, not to mention that he and He Zijin grew up together. Although his sister failed the exam, He Han was still happy to He Zijin's third girl and smiled, "I knew that Zijin's sister is so smart, she will definitely pass the exam! Not to mention the third sister!"

He Handao, "I didn't pass the exam. My mother doesn't know much about embroidery. If she wants to learn embroidery in the future, I have to ask you to give her some advice."

The third girl smiled, "What's the matter? I've done this all day long at home. Peipei thought, come here at any time."

He Han smiled and said to his sister, "Although I didn't get this exam, look, I've found you a good gentleman..." Before he finished speaking, he saw that his sister was crying. He Han hurriedly coaxed her, "Why are you crying? Isn't it just that I didn't get this exam? Not many people didn't get this exam."

It would be fine if He Han didn't coax it, but he coaxed it. He Peipei burst into tears: How could he be so annoying? He knew that she didn't pass the exam, but her brother kept saying that she didn't pass the exam... He had to keep saying things to these two annoying people for so long... Her brother didn't know how to comfort her...

When He Peipei cried, He Han was suddenly one after another. What's even more terrible is that He Peipei's voice resonated with many failed students. For a moment, outside Aunt Li's embroidery workshop, the crying sounded shook the sky!
