After the inspection was completed, the academician walked back and asked, "Was that He Jinshu just now?"
"Yes, it's him according to the household registration information." The prefect nodded.
"Did he have people make the rice transplanter that has been discussed in the city recently?" the academician asked again.
Upon hearing this, the prefect said, "It is said that he had it made. I've been busy with the imperial examinations recently, so I haven't asked anyone to verify it yet. However, I heard from the merchants in Linshe County that it was indeed He Jinshu who had it made, and they even provided the drawings.
After seeing the blueprint, I ordered someone to make a rice transplanter. After people tried it out, they found it to be very useful. Usually, one person could only transplant a little over an acre of land a day, but with this transplanter, they can transplant ten acres a day, which is nearly 10 times more efficient.
After hearing this, the academician just nodded silently and said nothing more.
The prefect looked at the academician's face. After thinking for a while, he still did not tell the academician about the memorial submitted by the Linshe County magistrate. After all, the academician was only here to preside over the provincial examination and would leave soon afterwards. As for methods like this that could increase production, he might as well submit them directly to the emperor.
After all, these are political achievements within his jurisdiction, which is also of certain benefit to him as the prefect. The fewer people know about it now, the greater the surprise will be in the future.
He Jinshu was taking the exam in the examination room, while Chen Chen was playing at home with her two children.
Last night, when they were lying in bed and didn't see John Ho, the two children kept looking around and kept making "ahhh" sounds, as if asking, "Where's Dad?" "Why is Dad gone?"
Seeing this, Chen Chen kept saying to them, "Your father has gone to take the exam and will not be back until the day after tomorrow."
After making a fuss for a while, I don’t know if they understood or were just sleepy, but the two children fell asleep with unhappy faces.
After breakfast today, without seeing John Ho, both children started to pout.
Seeing this, Chen Chen had no choice but to hug the two of them and coax them, then play games with them to divert their attention.
When they went to bed at night, the two children started looking for He Jinshu again. Seeing this, Chen Zhen had no choice but to take one of He Jinshu's scholar robes and put it on. Then he helped them to have a hairstyle similar to He Jinshu's, hoping that this would have some effect.
However, although the two children were quiet for a while, they started looking for someone again. Chen Zhen even suspected that they were looking for "him" again.
But he couldn't split himself, nor could he create another person for them, so he just talked to them and stayed with them for a while.
Children sleep a lot, and after a while, the two of them fell asleep with wrinkled faces.
Chen Zhen kissed them each and said, "Your father will be back tomorrow. It's really important that you don't find him smelly."
Chen Zhen heard from others that during the exam, everyone ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the same room, and there was not even a shower. In such a hot day, one wondered how bad He Jinshu's mood would be.
It started raining that night and continued until the next day.
When I woke up in the morning, I heard a few screams in the examination room. It turned out that some students had finished their studies a little late last night and just tidied up the test paper and then put it casually on the desk.
However, the examination rooms are simple and some of them may leak. If the leak is above the table, the test paper will definitely not be saved and the exam will be invalidated.
The first rule of the Dongli National Examination is that the paper must be clean and not smudged, let alone soaked by rain.
He Jinshu's room also leaked, but every time he finished writing the test paper, he would put it in the waterproof box specially prepared for him by Chen Zhen, so he was spared.
After the exam that day, He Jinshu handed in his test paper as soon as the hour of You passed. The rain had not stopped yet, so he bought a straw raincoat in the examination room and then walked out of the examination room.
Chen Zhen asked Wen Feng to drive a carriage to pick up He Jinshu early this morning. His two sons were a little unhappy because they couldn't see He Jinshu these days, so even though it was raining, he still brought them here early. Coming earlier would allow them to see He Jinshu earlier.
After He Jinshu went out, he saw his own carriage and walked towards it.
When I got on the carriage, I saw Chen Chen holding his two sons and telling them that their father would be here soon.
After He Jinshu got into the carriage, his two sons stretched out their short arms and wanted him to hug them when they saw him.
As Chen Zhen handed the child to him, he said, "These two have been unhappy since you left for the past few days and have been looking for you."
Upon hearing this, He Jinshu smiled faintly and prepared to hug his two sons. However, as soon as he stretched out his hands, the two kids' noses moved, and then they retracted their hands and shrank towards Chen Zhen, looking at He Jinshu with a pair of eyes that seemed a little disgusted.
Seeing this, Chen Chen laughed out loud, and then said while laughing: "Ashu, have you been in a bad mood these days? Your sons dislike you."
The smile on He Jinshu's face froze when he heard this. He was so happy that he forgot about this.
He lowered his head and sniffed himself. It wasn't noticeable when he was used to staying in the room, but when he came out, there was indeed a smell. It was no wonder that his sons were a little disgusted.
So he said stiffly, "Go home first."
Seeing his somewhat embarrassed expression, Chen Chen leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then said, "It's okay, I don't dislike you."
He Jinshu's expression looked better after hearing this, and then he told Wen Feng to go home quickly.
After arriving home, He Jinshu took a bath first. Before leaving, Chen Zhen asked Wen Li to prepare the bath water so that He Jinshu could take a bath as soon as he came back.
After taking a shower and washing their hair, it was almost time for dinner. Wen Li also came back with the food packed from the restaurant, so He Jinshu and Chen Chen took their sons to eat while chatting with each other.
"How is it? Are the food I brought you enough? Are they spoiled?" Chen Chen asked while feeding his son.
He Jinshu was also feeding He Sixuan milk. After hearing what Chen Chen said, he said, "Okay, it's not spoiled. Just prepare this amount for me tomorrow."
I have a day off tomorrow, and He Jinshu has to go to the examination hall the day after tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen immediately agreed.
After dinner, He Jinshu didn't read anymore, but played with his two sons in the room.
The two children hadn't seen He Jinshu for a few days, and they were very clingy, holding on to He Jinshu's clothes with their little hands and refusing to let go.
Chen Zhen suspected that if the two of them could crawl, they would have climbed onto He Jinshu and refused to get down.
While coaxing his two sons, He Jinshu looked at the scholar's robe casually placed on the bed, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you miss me the same way?"
