The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 417 The Eve of the County Exam

If it wasn't for this news, Gu Yiju and Gu Lengyi would not have come to Jiangning County in person if they just returned a life-saving pill.

Cheng Wenliu clicked his tongue, how did Gu Yiju and the others know about this, even the name was so clearly stated, was it someone in the palace or someone from Jishitang who knew something and told them.

Not sure if this matter could be spoken out, Cheng Wenliu fell silent.

Gu Leng observed the complaint and solemnly explained: "Brother Wenliu, my junior brother didn't make it clear just now. We are interested in this matter because our little senior uncle discovered a very special plant a few years ago. We The valley has always called that kind of plant, Ferntail, and there is a kind of very thin silk in that kind of plant. At that time, a patient rolled down the mountain, and the wound was wrapped in the thin silk on the skin of the plant, because the thin silk had been embedded in it. In the tendon, it is difficult to deal with the fusion of the tendon and vein. The little master didn't take out the thread easily before he thought of a good solution. I didn't expect that the thread disappeared by itself after two days. I was thinking about that Is silk the type of gut you mean, and if so it would be a major discovery."

"The source of the news about the catgut is actually very simple. Our genius doctor, Gu, has someone in the imperial physician." Gu Yiju blinked Cheng Wenliu, "This is the tacit understanding between us and the royal family."

The two of them understood Cheng Wenliu as soon as they said this, and they were not as guarded as before, and told them part of what he knew about the gut, but they still kept their eyes open and didn't finish everything.

Xiaoyao Wang would choose to treat his illness in Jishitang at the beginning, he must have investigated the background of Jishitang.

Later, he stayed in Jiangning County for a month, living in the small courtyard next to Jishi Hall, believing that King Xiaoyao trusted them.

But not afraid of [-], just in case, the rivers and lakes and the court have never really been in harmony, for the safety of his family, Cheng Wenliu did not foolishly tell Gu Yiju and them all.

Gu Yiju and Gu Lengyi learned something from Cheng Wenliu, combined with the information collected by their genius doctor Gu and poison doctor, and prepared to leave for the capital.

After Gu Lengyi and Gu Yiju left, Cheng Wenliu immediately wrote a letter to Xiaoyao Wang about what he had told the two of them about the catgut thread.

In fact, Cheng Wenliu didn't know much about this kind of thread, just like what he told Xiaoyao Wang back then, Lin Xiazhi didn't know if this kind of thread would be successful, so he would tell Cheng Wenliu to let Xiaoyaowang do experiments on animals first.

The last time Xiaoyao Wangyou wrote to tell Cheng Wenliu that the sheep gut had failed on pigs, which made Lin Xiazhi feel complicated, and felt that this was normal when he was disappointed.

It has been so long since the news came back from the border last time. The war between Jingguo and Xiliangguo must have gone on for several more rounds. I don’t know how many soldiers will be injured on the battlefield. Gut, making everyone's wounds heal faster, is a good thing for the benefit of soldiers.

After dealing with the outside affairs, Cheng Wenliu returned home and handed the life-saving pill to Lin Xiazhi, and told him about the process of seeing Gu Lengyi and Gu Yiju today.

"They mean that there is a kind of filament in the skin of a plant called Pteris pratense, which can grow in human veins and fuse with them?" Lin Xiazhi asked.

This statement breaks through Lin Xiazhi's understanding of plants. It stands to reason that most of the things in plants should be fibers, while most of the tendons are blood vessels and nerves. How can these two completely different things grow together?

"That's what Gu Lengyi said. He said that the silk is very thin. Maybe you can use a magnifying glass to see what it is." Cheng Wenliu didn't know Lin Xiazhi's doubts, but he felt that Gu Lengyi didn't need to lie.

Lin Xiazhi couldn't figure it out, and could only think that that kind of plant might be unique to this world, or it might be that modern technology hasn't discovered it yet.

Whether catgut can be made or not, Lin Xiazhi has no idea at all. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if he could make another version with the help of Doctor Doctor Gu and Poison Doctor Sect. Anyway, he couldn’t make any more specific questions about it. comments to help.

After Gu Lengyi and Gu Yiju left Jiangning County, the atmosphere in Jiangning County became more and more tense because the county examination was about to start. The checks on entering and exiting the city were stricter, and the examination room was also stepped up, with heavy patrols every day.

Lin Chengzong and Li Xiu found a time to go around the outside of the examination room ahead of time, so as not to have trouble finding a seat on the day of the examination or being delayed due to other reasons on the road.

In the last two days, Li Xiu once again sorted out the things that Lin Chengzong wanted to bring into the examination room.

This time, Lin Chengzong will stay in the examination room for a full three days, and he needs to prepare a lot of things, but the quantity and dosage cannot exceed the prescribed amount of the examination room.

The most important thing is clothes, not too thick or too thin, warm during the day, and can be used as a quilt when taken off at night.

Li Xiu thought of a way to make two outer robes, the outer one was a little thicker and made of down, and the inner one didn't use down, and was only stuffed with a layer of cotton to make it fit better.

You can take off the inner one when it is warm during the day, and put on the inner one when it gets cold at night, and use the outer robe as a quilt to cover your body.

In addition, the food must also be very particular, because some people used to put notes in the food, so when entering the examination room, all the food will be carefully checked by the officials.

If it is something like steamed buns and pancakes, it will be broken and checked.

Originally, it was uncomfortable to only eat some steamed buns and pancakes for three days. If someone broke them into pieces, it would be even more uncomfortable to throw them there.

Lin Xiazhi gave Li Xiu an idea - replace the staple food with fried noodles, and bring a glass jar of kimchi and jerky, and a small jar of sweet-scented osmanthus honey.

Enough water and a certain amount of charcoal fire will be provided in the examination room. When it’s time to eat, you only need to use a small amount of charcoal fire to boil hot water and fry noodles with oil. Kimchi and jerky can be eaten directly without heating.

At other times, if you feel cold, you can boil hot water to make a cup of hot osmanthus honey tea, and then eat some dried meat to warm your stomach and hands.

In this way, there is no need to use charcoal fire to heat the meal, which can save charcoal fire for heating at night, and the things brought in are not illegal, and it is convenient for inspection.

This method is very good, Lin Xiazhi has asked Cheng Wenliu De, and it is sure that it can be used.

Li Xiu finished packing in a hurry, and the county examination began.

Li Xiu and Lin Huzi, Yang Yusheng and Lin Chengzu, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu were all at home to send Lin Chengzong to the examination room.

It was already dawn, and the temperature outside had not yet risen, but there were already many people on the way to the examination room.

The closer you entered the examination room, the more you could feel the tense atmosphere. Everyone kept silent and walked forward silently.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the examination room, there were people's heads all over the place, most of them were relatives who sent the examinees over.

Everyone dared not speak loudly, and only dared to tell their children what to pay attention to in the examination room in a low voice.

As for the farm students who said that their family members did not know what was going on in the examination room, their family members were much more silent.

As Lin Huzi was the head of the family, Li Xiu pushed him and asked him to say something first.

Although it had been discussed a long time ago, Lin Huzi became nervous at this moment. He coughed twice, feeling his throat was dry and unable to speak.

On the contrary, Lin Chengzong seemed to be in much better condition than him: "Father?"

"Zong'er, take the exam well and don't get distracted when you enter the exam room." Under the gaze of his son, Lin Huzi quickly said these words.

"Father, I know." Lin Chengzong nodded.

After Lin Huzi finished speaking, Li Xiu continued: "Now the day is warmer than the night. You can add and undress while watching the sky. Don't catch cold inside. When it's cold, burn charcoal fire. Eat when you're hungry. Eat the food prepared at home. enough."

"Ah, I will pay attention."

Lin Chengzu stepped forward: "Zong'er, you know about our family's situation. How about not needing you to work hard to get a good name? My brother wants you to study because I like it."

"Thank you, brother." Lin Chengzong was moved.

Yang Yusheng stood side by side with Lin Chengzu: "Zong'er, after you finish the exam, my brother will make you a big table. You like delicious food."

"Thank you brother!" Lin Chengzong's tone was obviously much more cheerful.

Lin Xiazhi stepped forward and patted Lin Chengzong: "Zong'er, although everyone tells you not to be stressed or nervous, but the second brother is here to tell you that stress and tension can be transformed into motivation. Expectations haven't changed."

"Second brother, Zong'er understands." This is an agreement between the two of them, and only they know it.

Cheng Wenliu saw that everyone had said everything that needed to be said, and was the last one to step forward: "Zong'er, remember the shit I told you, haha."

"Brother..." Lin Chengzong couldn't help laughing.

Except for the two of them, Lin Xiazhi understands what it means. This is a scientific research "custom" that Lin Xiazhi doesn't understand.

The imperial examination will last for three full days. During these three days, if someone proposes to go to the latrine, his test paper will be stamped with shit.

It is normal for people to excrete after eating whole grains, and it is normal to have shit stamped on them, but all the examiners have been prejudiced against test papers with shit stamps.

Except for the particularly excellent ones, other test papers with shit stamps will basically not be selected.

Is this idea really anti-human?Are scholars not human beings?Don't you need to eat?Even those examiners can't guarantee that they will not go to the latrine in three days.

Therefore, during these three days, candidates have to carefully arrange what they eat, try to eat as little as possible, and have to control their stomachs, which is really miserable.

After everyone had spoken, Lin Chengzong carried his basket and walked to the gate of the examination room step by step, waiting in line for the official inspection.

The others stood in place and watched him, seeing the little man standing in the cold wind, queuing up with a group of people taller than him, Li Xiu's eyes were red.

Lin Huzi felt Li Xiu's mood, and he hugged Li Xiu's shoulder to comfort him silently.
