An alpha's ancient life record

On the second day's teacher appreciation banquet, Shen Qingshu saw the chief examiner Hong Xuezheng at close range. She had only glimpsed it from a distance before the exam.

Hong Xuezheng was nearly fifty years old. He was originally a bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy.

He was busy with official duties and time was precious, so he only selected a few outstanding students to take the exam to encourage them, and left the table after a few chopsticks.

After he left, the students present felt much more at ease.

Seats are arranged according to their rankings. Seeing that Shen Qingshu was about the same age, Guan Yiming took the initiative to talk to her.

Although the case was gone, Shen Qingshu didn't have any opinion on him.

"Brother Shen, if it wasn't for how old I was, I might not be able to beat you in this hospital exam." Guan Yiming sighed.

"Where, you deserve it," Shen Qingshu shook her head. After some conversation, she also admired Guan Yiming. He has solid knowledge and his poems are also excellent.

Guan Yiming is the son of an official, his father is an official in other places, he still has the sincerity of a young man, his words and deeds are measured, gentle and refined, Shen Qingshu and him chatting for a while, it seems to get along well.

After all, it was an official banquet, and after that everyone sat for a while, and then broke up when the face was up. When they parted, Guan Yiming still felt a little bit like seeing each other late. Shen Qingshu was going back to Beijing soon, and they agreed with him to see each other after four years in the rural examination.

The township exam is held every three years, and next year will be the year of the township exam, but both of them feel that their knowledge is insufficient and they still need to polish it, so they will not participate in this session.

After everything was over, Shen Qingshu had already been away from home for eight months.

-

"Young master, the young master is back!"

"Madam, the young master is here!"

Accompanied by Shen Qingshu's footsteps, shouts came to the inner house one after another.

Ever since she received the letter from Shen Qingshu, the scholar, old Liu has been counting the days waiting for her to come back, these few days she has to visit the door eight times every day.

At this moment, she heard the noise outside, stood up all of a sudden, and walked out excitedly, not looking like an old man at all.

The two met each other in the middle hall, and before they could speak, old Liu's tears rolled down his face, and Shen Qingshu was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Grandma, you should be happy when I come back. Why are you still crying? I'm fine, don't worry."

"It's been eight months since I left." Mrs. Liu clasped her arm tightly with both hands, holding on with great force, as if she couldn't stand upright. In a blink of an eye, I can take the exam alone.”

Shen Qingshu helped her walk in slowly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma, I've been selected as a scholar this time, and in the next few years, I will stay in the capital and study hard."

Speaking of scholars, Old Liu wiped his tears with a handkerchief, showing some relief, "Such a young scholar, even in the entire capital, there are not many, let alone our Wuxun family, now you As a talent, I can finally be worthy of the Shen family."

As she spoke, she felt a little resentful, "You were weak and sick when you were young, and those devoid of conscience cursed you behind your back for not being able to support you. Now that you are so upbeat, I don't think anyone would dare to gossip about our sincere uncle's house."

Shen Qingshu reckoned that the original owner was not weak and sick, but that her mother was afraid of revealing her identity, so she found an excuse not to let her go out.But they echoed repeatedly, "Grandmother said that I will win the Juren and Jinshi in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." Old Liu was finally coaxed into a smile by her, his wrinkled face came alive, and the silver hair at the sideburns also shone a bit.

When they sat down in the main hall, He Shi and Shen Peili also rushed over after hearing the news, dragging her and weeping bitterly again, there was a sense of relief that only the mother and daughter could understand.

I haven't seen each other for eight months, and the whole family has endless things to say, pulling Shen Qingshu to ask questions, as if they want to finish what they have saved before.

Listening to their nagging, Shen Qingshu didn't feel impatient. In fact, she quite enjoyed the feeling of being cared about at any time.

How are the uncle and grandpa's family?How is the environment of the examination room?How much did you suffer along the way?

She answered all questions seriously.She was also familiar with all kinds of customs and customs that she experienced on the road, and she spoke vividly and interestingly, which made the whole family laugh.

It wasn't until after lunch that old Liu became a little sleepy, so he took a rest under Shen Qingshu's persuasion.

Shen Qingshu still had to face her mother's torture.

"Shu'er, now that the hospital exam is over, tell your mother honestly, what method did you use to get away with it?" He's expression was very serious. Impossible to buy all the inspecting soldiers, right?

Shen Qingshu had already thought of a countermeasure for this problem.She checked the inside and outside of the door to make sure there was no one there, so she lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Mom, do you know about hypnotism?"

He Shi was made nervous by her, and imitated her to move closer to his head, and lowered his voice, "What blowing sleep technique?"

Shen Qingshu began to fool Dafa.

"This is a spell from the Western Regions. It can communicate through psychological hints and make people lose their self-awareness."

"What does the sleep-blowing technique from the Western Regions have to do with your exam?" She spoke in a vague way, and Mrs. He didn't quite understand it.

"Mother, look, after the master of the temple hypnotizes people, he can let them see the past and present lives. The slappers use this to slap people and follow them obediently. Similarly, after I hypnotize, the searcher who checks can't see my true self." I'm dead, so I passed the test."

"Oh, so that's how it is," He suddenly realized. She had indeed seen the master chanting sutras to others, and they fell asleep while chanting. After waking up, her heart problems disappeared.In addition, Shen Qingshu said firmly that she is a housewife with limited knowledge, so she is no doubt there, "Then Shu'er, where did you learn the hypnosis technique?"

"This... the last time I went to Huayan Temple, it was passed to me by an eminent monk I don't know"

"Well, why did he pass it on to you?"

"I don't know, hehe, maybe it's because of my talent!"

Although I always felt that there were some loopholes in this method, since the exams were successfully completed, Mrs. He didn't think about it.

Seeing that she believed it, Shen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, this was the reason she was willing to say it now.Methods that have been tested vary greatly in their credibility and persuasiveness.

If she had told He this before the exam that she didn't know if this method would work, she would definitely be worried and hesitant, and would ask around.

But tell her now that even if there are loopholes in her statement, she will subconsciously ignore it, and even find reasons for it to fill the loopholes.

After figuring it out, He was a little curious again, "Shu'er, can you show your mother your hypnotizing technique?"

Shen Qingshu had no choice but to cover her sight with mental power.

Seeing Shen Qingshu disappear in front of her eyes, He Shi was shocked, and believed in her words even more.

After the demonstration, Shen Qingshu warned again: "Mother, when the master passed on this spell to me, he specifically ordered me not to pass it on to others. This is related to the wealth and life of the entire uncle's house. Only our mother and daughter know it. You must guard it carefully." Don't tell anyone else this secret."

"Mother knows, it's just like your identity, mother will definitely not say it." Mrs. He nodded in response, and was a little happy thinking about it, "Then you and Miss Lin's marriage, can't you also hide it?" .”

"How is it possible? I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it forever. Even if I can hide it, it would be too unfair to Miss Lin who keeps it in the dark."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingshu thought of his trip to Suzhou, and became a little depressed again. That Miss Lin didn't accept her kindness at all.

"That's right, our family is sorry for her," He sighed, patted her hand, her eyes were a little moist, "But in my mother's heart, I still want you to marry Lin girl, even if she is also a woman, but we have been married for a hundred years. After that, there will always be someone to accompany you, so that you will not be alone."

Shen Qingshu was a little moved by his love and care, and comforted her softly, "Mother, no, I can still adopt one."

Mrs. He wiped away her tears, and felt a little bit of self-pity, "Oh, it's all because you blame your mother for not being able to give birth to a son, which ruined your whole life!"

These words are really sloppy. Every time this topic is brought up, He always feels that it is his fault in the end. Shen Qingshu has no choice but to grab her hand that pats his stomach, "Mother, didn't I say it many times?" Well, I really don't blame you, it's fine now."

"Don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I will properly handle the marriage contract with Miss Lin. Although I will have no children in the future, my sister will have one, and so will my uncle's. I will not be alone."

Shen Qingshu persuaded He Shi a little more, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
