After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, the academy officially closed for holiday.

However, for students who plan to take the imperial examination next year, they must not slack off in their studies, whether they go to the academy or not.

Qin Yan gets up at 3:00 am and goes to bed at 1:00 pm every day, and he has even become a little thinner.

Fang Tong couldn't bear it and often advised him to rest more and not to rush.

But Qin Yan had his own ideas and said he knew his limits. Fang Tong couldn't persuade him and could only force him to eat more every day.

On this day, Qin Shucai came to the door, which was a bit surprising.

After Qin Shucai failed the last provincial examination, the Qin family became low-key and no longer had their previous arrogance. In addition, the Fang family's old house was much bustling, so the whole family almost forgot about them.

However, Qin Shucai and Qin Yan had a good relationship in the clan. He had been educated by Qin Yan's father and was also familiar with Qian Fengping.

It was Fang Tong who opened the door. When he saw Qin Shucai, he scratched his head and turned around to call Qin Yan, but Qian Fengping came out just in time.

"The book has just arrived, come in quickly!"

Fang Tong felt relieved when he saw that she was visibly happy. It seemed that Qin Shucai not only had a good relationship with Qin Yan, but also with Qian Niang. He suddenly became enthusiastic.

"come on in!"

Qin Shucai walked in, holding a basket in his right hand and something in his left hand.

"Aunt Qian, this is a New Year's gift."

"Look at you, you come to send gifts every year, it's such a waste. You can just come in person in the future. I don't need anything now!"

Hearing her say that Qin Shucai comes every year, Fang Tong's smile became more sincere: "Don't stand in the yard, it's cold outside. Brother Yan is in the house. Come in and chat with us!"

Only after they all entered the house did Qin Shu feel that this place was indeed different.

The room was very warm. Aunt Qian and Qin Yan were wearing new clothes and seemed to have bought many things they had not had before.

"Brother Shucai, please sit down."

Qin Shucai always sent his New Year gifts earlier in the day; they were used to it. When Qin Yan's father was alive, the Qin family would prepare snacks and the like. After Qin Xiucai passed away, the child saved up money to prepare his New Year gifts, always practical things, including food and cloth. Although it wasn't much, it was a token of his thoughtfulness.

They all remember these good things.

Qian Fengping was still thinking about the time when she heard that he was ill at the banquet. Now that they rarely met, she couldn't help but express her concern.

Fang Tong ran to the kitchen, poured some water, took out some cake and sugar-roasted chestnuts, and brought them to him.

In previous years, Qin Shucai would definitely be embarrassed to eat his food, but he could more or less see that Aunt Qian and Qin Yan were indeed living a better life now, so he couldn't help but have a piece.

Fang Tong watched from the side and thought that Chief Qin was also strange. He was narrow-minded, but he raised a good grandson.

This is how good bamboo shoots come from bad bamboo.

Qin Shucai ate while chatting with them. He was very polite and answered everyone who spoke. He didn't even ignore Fang Yin.

Just a casual glance out of the corner of my eye revealed that what was spread out in front of Qin Yan on the other side of the table seemed to be a collection of questions.

At first glance, he thought he was seeing things, but subconsciously he took another glance and was sure it was true, after all, he was also someone who had been there before.

He was confused, but knew better than to ask any more questions.

Qin Shucai left after politely declining Aunt Qian's invitation to stay for dinner. Before leaving, Fang Tong politely asked him to visit often in the future.

However, what he didn't expect was that after noon, Qin Shucai really came back with the basket he had taken away.

"You kid, are you here to deliver something again? If you do this, I won't dare let you come next time."

Qin Shucai smiled gently: "No, Aunt Qian, I want to talk to Qin Yan about something."

Qian Fengping looked at him helplessly: "Okay, then you guys tell me!"

She let the person in and went to the kitchen.

Qin Shucai went into the house to find Qin Yan.

As soon as they met, he opened the basket and took out the things inside.

It was indeed a gift, but not a New Year's gift: "This is the note I took when I was preparing for the exam. Take it and have a look."

Qin Yan was slightly stunned and stretched out his hands to take it.

"Also, I came here now because I wanted to tell you about my previous fate..."

Qin Shucai told him every detail of his previous experience, including travel, accommodation, examiners, and examination halls...

Qin Yan listened attentively.

After a long time, he finished speaking, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Qin Yan was grateful and thanked him softly. Qin Shu then waved his hand and left.

Neither of them said it clearly, especially about Qin Yan's leg. Could he still take the imperial examination?

But everything is implied, and sometimes some things don’t need to be so clear.

As for Qin Yan, he didn't mind what Qin Shucai guessed.

He still trusted his character. At first, his family didn't make the matter public so that he could study with peace of mind. Today, it happened to be discovered by Brother Shucai. Given his personality, even if he was sure that he was going to end up in trouble, he wouldn't say anything to others.

He opened Qin Shucai's notes. There was a lot of content in it, even his thoughts on the questions when preparing for the exam. Just by looking at it, you could tell how carefully the person who wrote it down prepared.

Although I didn’t pass the exam, all these experiences were not gained in vain.

This is really a big favor.

At this time, Fang Nanzhi was at Zhou's home, taking an exam!

She now regretted it immensely, wondering why she had spoken so much before and told him that Mr. Zheng had given her a quiz a few years ago and she had gotten an A.

I don’t know what Mr. Zhou is thinking, he also wants to test her!

Fang Nanzhi sighed inwardly while doing the questions, but did not dare to be too distracted, because the questions the teacher asked now were not the same as at the beginning.

She scratched her head and moved on to the next question on the paper in front of her.

The prescription and efficacy of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction.

This is a famous recipe, she can remember it.

Cornus officinalis, Chinese yam, moutan bark, oriental water chestnut, and poria cocos are effective in nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys...

The little girl was writing seriously. Mr. Zhou next to her seemed to be lying on a recliner with his eyes closed, but in fact he would glance over from time to time.

What are the pulse conditions for qi stagnation, blood stasis, essence damage, and blood deficiency?

Fang Nanzhi picked up the pen.

The pulse is usually astringent, like a light knife scraping bamboo...

After writing for almost half an hour, Fang Nanzhi finally finished and handed the paper to Mr. Zhou.

The old doctor Zhou reviewed the papers very quickly, and he became more and more satisfied as he went through each one.

Half an hour later.

"Not bad, first-class! From now on, you can also take your annual leave!"

Fang Nanzhi was so happy all of a sudden!

"Oh! It's vacation time! It's vacation time!"

Mr. Zhou was at a loss for words: "Are you so happy that you don't have to come to my place?"

Fang Nanzhi's eyes darted around: "No, it's Chinese New Year and everyone's happy! And my dad said that no matter what you study, you have to rest well. If you're too tired, your body will be damaged and you won't be able to study!"

"Hehe, sir, I'm home! I'd like to wish you a happy new year in advance. I wish you 'a long and prosperous new year'!"

Old Zhou waved his hand and let her go. When he saw the little girl jumping away, he smiled and shook his head.

"This girl!"
