Wear It with Space - Chapter 25
Shen Ling later asked Zheng Ming about how to write a good policy. Zheng Ming’s advice to him was to let him read the Di Bao.
After Shen Ling bought back the mansion newspaper, he found that the contents included the emperor’s daily life, words and deeds, decree, imperial decree, edicts, decrees, etc., as well as the appointment, promotion, decrement, rewards and punishments of officials, as well as ministers and various localities. Official memorials and so on.
After studying the Dibao for several nights, Shen Ling dreamed of the content recorded in the Dibao when she dreamed at night, and then woke up from the dream. He took a long breath, and was about to roll over and sleep again, when he heard Lan Zhu whisper by the side: “Are you awake?”
Shen Ling saw her eyes open through the bright moonlight outside, she was not sleepy at all. He couldn’t help asking: “Why are you still up?”
Lan Zhu said: “There is no sleepiness. Now I can’t sleep before midnight every night.”
Shen Ling seemed to remember that it was mentioned in a book that pregnant women couldn’t sleep at night because of lack of yin and blood. He said: “Let Mrs. Li make some white fungus soup for you tomorrow! The white fungus soup has the effect of nourishing yin and can make you fall asleep earlier.”
Lan Zhu turned over under the bed, turned her face to him, and said, “Msang-gong, you can speak with me!” If it is usual, she would definitely not be able to say this, but she didn’t know it was because of her pregnancy. I feel that I need my husband’s attention now.
After Shen Ling woke up, he didn’t feel sleepy for a while, and said: “Okay, you can tell me, I’ll listen.”
Lan Zhu looked at him and smiled lightly, his smile filled with satisfaction, “Msang-gong, do you think I am pregnant with a daughter or a son?”
Shen Ling said: “Girls and sons are good.”
Lan Zhu said: “My mother-in-law said that I was vomiting so badly in this birth, and maybe it was a girl.”
Shen Ling said: “The girl is pretty good. I like the girl.”
Lan Zhu said, “But I think this child is a son.”
Shen Ling didn’t know what to say.
Lan Zhu said again: “Msang-gong, do you think my baby is a daughter or a son?”
Shen Ling thought for a while: “I think it’s a girl.” He suddenly understood. Lan Zhu asked him if he was a son or a girl. She clearly wanted someone to speak with her.
That night, Shen Ling spoke with Lan Zhu for half an hour, and she said the child’s name from the child’s gender.
Seeing Lan Zhu fall asleep next to him, Shen Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time there was a very complicated emotion deep in his heart.
In the original world, although Shen Ling had talked about a few love affairs, every time she wanted to talk about marriage, either she would break up or the other party would break up. So she has never been married, nor has she ever experienced the feeling of being a mother.
Now he will be promoted to the child’s father soon after he comes to this world. To be honest, Shen Ling really doesn’t feel anything. Maybe it has nothing to do with this child, it’s just related to him.
When Shen Ling went to sleep, he was still thinking that maybe when the second child arrives, he might have some excitement or excitement.
During Shen Ling’s study of how to write policies during the day and night classes, Lan Zhu quickly survived the first three months. Shen Ling followed Huang’s intentions, brought some gifts to Lan Zhu’s home, and reported the good news to Lan Zhu’s parents.
When he came back, he saw that there were oranges on the street, thinking that Lan Zhu had been particularly fond of sour things recently, so he planned to buy it after seeing the bookstore opened by Zheng Tang.
Zheng Tang opened the bookstore not far from Zhou’s house, and Shen Ling arrived soon after he left. When he arrived, Zheng Tang was discussing with someone to carve an exam paper, which he prepared to sell to candidates taking the exam next year.
Shen Ling read the books in the store while listening to them. When Zheng Tang came to find him, Shen Ling asked how he was discussing.
Zheng Tang said: “The engraving shop has already said that, but there is still a master who chooses the article.” He asked Shen Ling if he had any books of interest, so he could take it back and read it carefully.
Shen Ling was also different from his politeness. He chose two exam papers from the previous year and prepared to go back and study them. Zheng Tang looked at the book he chose and couldn’t help saying: “Why, are you going to end next year?”
“I have this idea.” Shen Ling has been working hard to read and write these days, consciously it may be a little difficult to be a talent, but it is not difficult to come back from the exam for a child.
Zheng Feng said: “If you can go to school in the future, I won’t have to bother to find the person who chooses the article. Just leave it to you.” He said, “I will go to Ji County in a few days to look for it. A famous writer who chooses articles, you have something you want me to carry.”
Shen Lingman said casually: “I haven’t been to Ji County. Are there any specialties there?”
Zheng Feng said, “I heard that there are a lot of mountain products near the deep mountains and old forests.”
Shen Ling said casually: “Then you can help me carry some dried fruits such as chestnuts and walnuts!” I heard people say that pregnant women eat more walnuts to make their babies smarter, but I don’t know if it’s true.
Shen Ling left after choosing the book, and did not forget to take a few catties of oranges with him when he went back.
Lan Zhu was sitting in the room making small clothes for an unborn child. When she saw Shen Ling bringing oranges back, she couldn’t help but said, “I was thinking of eating this thing, but you bought it by coincidence.”
Shen Ling watched as she ate three oranges in a row, and asked Zhui’er to take the oranges away, not allowing her to eat more. Shen Ling talked to her for a while before going to the study to read.
He had studied the Di Bao for several days before, and read many policy questions made by his predecessors, and he had a general direction on how to write policy questions. Zheng Ming later told him specifically that Ce Qun did not account for a large proportion of the county examination and government examinations, and that stereotypes should still be the mainstay now. Therefore, Shen Ling has now set aside policy questions and continues to study the stereotyped essays of everyone.
Now Zheng Ming is paying more and more attention to him. Although he is not as good as his proud disciple Zheng Qiao, he can still occupy a certain position in Zheng Ming’s heart.
Xu is due to the county exam in February next year. On this day, Zheng Ming left a few students who had not passed the county exam in Shen Ling after he finished the morning scriptures. These students are all people Zheng Ming thinks may pass the exam and become a child.
Zheng Ming didn’t say much, just told them that from tomorrow on, he would create another topic for them.
In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Ling and the others separated from the other students and started the pre-examination training for the county examination.
Shen Ling soon discovered that Zheng Ming paid great attention to stereotypes. Although he would also issue some topics on the meaning of ink and poetry, most of them were stereotypes.
Shen Ling and the others handed in the article based on his topic, and he reviewed it on the same day, and it stated that the article’s deficiencies still needed to be revised. Shen Ling and the others revised according to his comments, and if they didn’t modify it to the point of satisfying him, he would not let them go home.
Then the next day, he would revise the article they submitted the second time, and then send it to them, asking them to copy it and memorize it.
This method is particularly useful. Shen Ling feels that his articles are getting better day by day, and he has more confidence. When thinking about the county test next year, it is not difficult to say that the test case will come back first, but it must be easy to be on the list.
Half a month later, Zheng Tang returned from Ji County. Not only brought back some dried fruit and game from the mountains, but also gave him two pots of orchids. When Shen Ling asked where Qiulan came from, Zheng Tang said: “Didn’t you ask me to pick up some dried fruits, so I went to a nearby mountain village. I didn’t think that there are people who love flowers in such a mountainous land. Two pots of orchids were bought from a hunter’s house. He went hunting in the mountains all year round. Sometimes he saw beautiful flowers and plants and moved them to his house. Once he entered his house, the yard was full of flowers and plants. It’s the gardener’s house!”
Zheng Tang said again: “But the flowers and plants in the yard make this orchid attractive. I bought it with money, thinking that you will give it to the husband of Xueli in the New Year. It is both elegant and decent.”
Shen Ling laughed and said: “It’s hard for you to bother thinking about me like this. Even the gifts for my husband are prepared for me. I have nothing to thank. Let’s stay for a meal in the evening! I will let the family put them away in the study. One table, let’s talk hard.”
At first, Shen Ling was willing to lend Zheng Tang silver, thinking that Zheng Tang was the only friend of Zheng Feng, and he didn’t have the silver, so he helped. Looking at Zheng Tang’s actions now, he feels more and more that Zheng Tang can have a deep friendship. Not only is it calm and reliable, but also considerate.
At the beginning, the system gave him twenty years of task time. In these twenty years, even if he could be admitted as a scholar, he would have such friends around him. With such an idea, he treated Zheng Tang more sincerely.
After Mrs. Li rectified the table, Shen Ling first toasted him a few glasses of wine, and then asked him how he was looking for famous writers who selected articles.
Zheng Tang sighed: “Although he has already invited people, the Ji Xianggong only promised to stay in the store for half a month. I don’t know if I can finish the examination papers. Take one step as one step!”
Shen Ling tried to suggest: “I have a way. Now the county test is about to come, why don’t you publish a collection of questions for the test.” He saw that Zheng Tang was a little confused and explained to him, “It is based on the county test institute. The content of the test is combined with some questions from previous years, and then some similar questions are produced, and then the corresponding answers or articles are written according to the questions. “According to later generations, it is a set of simulated questions.
Zheng Tang thought about it for a while and said, “This is a good idea. It’s where to find such a person, write these questions, and then write the answers and articles.” He hesitated, “I will spend it just by asking Ji Xianggong. After ten taels of silver, if you hire another one, you really won’t be able to come up with that much.”
Shen Ling said: “You only said that this idea is good or not, as for the candidate, I already have it.” He paused, “I only have one request. You can only sell this volume of questions in other counties, not in this county. “
Zheng Tang seemed to understand, he glanced at Shen Ling, “Is this candidate you?”
Shen Ling smiled and said: “It’s me. To tell you the truth, your husband is currently giving us some questions for the county examination and government examinations for us to do. The questions need not be mentioned. As for the article, it is not a problem. We hand in it every day. Mr. will revise the article twice, and the final revised article is no worse than those made by the talents.”
Zheng Tang said: “If this is the case, then this must be done. In the future, you and my brother will get half of the money you will get from selling books.”
Shen Ling hurriedly said: “The wages shop is yours, how can I get half of the profit.”
The two pushed back and forth, and finally set three or seven points.
After Zheng Tang left, Shen Ling searched through Zheng Ming’s topics and transcribed the articles that he had revised one by one. But in one night, seven or eight sets of simulation questions were collected. He added some comments from Zheng Ming to the article, and then asked Lan Zhu for some stitches to sew it. At a glance, it looked decent.
A few days later, Shen Ling added Zheng Ming’s new questions one by one, and then handed the booklet he had made to Zheng Tang.
