Even if it doesn't work the first time, it will work the second time and the third time. By then, he was only in his early thirties.
In Yun State, those in their early thirties are considered young.
There are many people who, after taking exams all their lives, are still talented.
There are even quite a few children who have turned gray in the examination!
He is now willing to make progress and wants to be happier than anyone else in the clan, especially her grandparents and the others.
Besides, the fame of being a scholar is better than being a scholar.
It is equivalent to stepping into the official career.
If you don't want to continue to take the college entrance examination, you can do the same as Xu Chongguang and find connections to get an official position.
It's just that it's impossible to be a county magistrate first. It's probably like being the county chief registrar or something like that.
Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars ranked first. It can be seen that people with juren and other titles have high status.
While Li Yuan was thinking about this, Li Jun said: "Sister, I don't lack that much skill, but Cancan and I may have to live with you. I have a shallow foundation, and I need my brother-in-law to take me through it first. Then I'll find an academy. But don't worry, I won't disturb him before his imperial examination. Before that, just come to me for anything you want to do. Whether it's opening a workshop or buying Zhuangzi seeds. Watermelon, whatever."
"My family doesn't talk to each other. Don't say that you are my brother. You are just a good friend of Brother Xie. He is probably happier than anyone else when he sees your progress. If you can be a Jinshi one day and become an official, you will be with him. Words are also a kind of help from connections. If nothing else, just like Master Ji and Master Meng."
Li Jun nodded: "Well, the same is true for me and my brother-in-law. Sister, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first. Just leave the New Year's gifts at home to me and Cancan."
After Li Yuan left, Li Jun sat next to Wang Can, holding her with one hand and stroking her already bulging belly with the other.
He said with an apology: "Cancan, I'm sorry, I decided to continue the scientific examination without consulting you. Next, I have to continue studying and can't make money to support my family. Everything at home will have to be hard on you. But don't worry, I will Work hard and try to pass the exam within six years. Can you give me six years?"
Wang Can nodded and smiled brightly.
In her opinion, nothing makes her happier than a man who is progressive and treats her and her children well.
What's more, she now has a lot of money on hand. Except for the money she earned herself, most of it was given by her relatives on Brother Junzi's side.
For example, cousin Caijing, such as aunt, and then aunt.
Besides, living with my sister, she doesn’t need to buy a house. Even if she has expenses, they are limited.
But this is still the current stage. In a few years, when the situation at my brother-in-law's side improves and her children grow up, she can buy a house and move out.
Because of the help of Li Jun and Wang Can, Li Yuan took Caiwei and Qingsha to Zhuangzi the next day after Xie Yanzhi went to the Imperial College.
As soon as she arrived at Zhuangzi, Ma saw her bringing her children there, and asked, "Mother Yuan, did you have a quarrel with Shao'an?"
Otherwise, why would you bring your children here in such a cold weather?
Except for Ma's family of four, there is no one else in this village now.
Li Yuan didn't have so many scruples when speaking.
She first asked Caiwei to follow her uncle and aunt to arrange the luggage, and she and Li Sanhai told them what happened to the Hou Mansion.
When Ma and Li Sanhai heard that Marquis Zhenguo said that they wanted to take a concubine for Xie Yanzhi, their faces turned dark.
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Sanhai frowned, while Ma Shi cursed loudly.
"Everyone just eats carrots and doesn't worry about other people's affairs. Do they need to take care of other people's affairs? What's wrong with Helifu? What's in their way? Back in the countryside, Helifu doesn't have farmers like us. What do they eat and drink? ? That bullshit Marquis, despite his age, is totally indifferent and acts like a fool, pushing his nephew and son-in-law, who has some relationship with his family, to others."
"That's right, he is like this because he has no ability. As long as he has some ability, Yuan Niang, you and Aunt Han will not be able to tightly trap Shao An into his sphere of influence. In this way, Shao An will be fine, but he will not be able to do it. Are you grateful to him?"
"Like a fool, you push people away, and you think you are doing it for Shao An's benefit. If you really want Shao An to take a concubine, then her mother's family is stronger. Where can the Xie family still have room for Yuan Niang to stand? Yuan Niang, you are already in trouble If it’s so crowded, how can he manage the Marquis’ Mansion? Can’t we leave our parents’ family behind to be grateful to him as a matchmaker?”
"You're a stupid thing, and you can't think as deeply as a country woman like me."
Li Yuan heard the phrase "place to stand" and corrected it: "Third Aunt, it's not a place to stand, it's a place to stand."
Ma waved her hand impatiently and said: "That's more or less what you meant. Yuan Niang, Shao'an was so unlucky before, but his luck got better because of you. Let's follow him to endure hardships. That, that..."
Li Yuan added: "The wife of chaff!"
"Yes, he is a poor wife, so you can't ask him to take a concubine. Don't just listen to what others say. Men sometimes say they don't want it, but they really want it in their hearts. Even if they don't do it at first. Thoughts can’t stop so many women coming to my door. Once, two or three times is fine, but it’s hard to say if it’s too many times.”
"Especially Yuan Niang, you are not young anymore, you have not given birth to a child for Shao An, and you are divorced. Even if Shao An says he doesn't mind, as time goes by and there are yellow girls to compare him with, he will inevitably think about it. ."
Li Sanhai on the side also said: "Mother Yuan, you can't let go about taking concubines. Once you let go, there will be no end to it. If outsiders say you are jealous, let them go. It doesn't hurt anyway, you Just coax Shao An well."
"Well, Third Uncle, I can't! Brother Xie was angrier than me that day. I heard that he fell out with Mr. Hou. And my aunt will also think about me. Just don't worry. I'm here right now, mainly It’s to avoid those people who want to win over Brother Xie. I’m afraid that if I stay at home, they will come to my door at every turn, and then nothing will happen and something will happen.”
"Yes, then you can live here. I think this village is very good. I wonder if your cousin is willing to sell it. We can pay more. If the money is not enough, the third aunt will not take this share. , Yuan Niang, take it all and buy Zhuangzi first."
Li Yuan felt warm in her heart, "Third Aunt, Caijing's house probably won't sell it. Let's look for it after spring starts and buy something suitable."
Ma nodded, thought for a while and then said: "Mother Yuan, according to what you said, Shao'an is so famous now. I guess it will be more troublesome during the New Year period. Many people will come to him, and it is not easy to avoid him." Come on. How about you all come over after Shaoan goes on his annual vacation in the Imperial College, and we celebrate the New Year here?"
"As for selling vegetables, you don't have to come forward. Just leave Junzi and us. If you reduce your presence, you will save someone from always making fun of you and Li's identity."
