After these three months of getting along, Yueniang has learned from Xie Yu's actions and words.
I just feel that Xie Yu has become mature and sensible. Naturally, he will no longer regard Xie Yu as the child he was before, but as a man who can truly rely on.
Yueniang: "Right away, very soon. You go and warm up the book for a while. When it's done, I'll call you."
I have to say, it’s so nice not to have to cook, wash and wash clothes by myself. After making a gesture, Xie Yu left.
According to the jurisdiction, Xie Yu's household registration is in Xiangfu County, so naturally he has to go to Xiangfu County to take the exam.
On the second day, Yueniang, who had been closed for the whole day with a divorce ticket issued by Meng Xue, took Xie Yu on a train and rushed to Xue Shi Academy in Xiangfu County.
When I arrived, I saw a crowd of people in front of the academy, mostly candidates and their families.
The Taiping Car could no longer move at this point, so Xie Yu and Yueniang got off the carriage.
Several officials were maintaining order.
There was a gentleman among them, but he raised his voice and said to the scholars who were rushing towards the academy: "Only the candidates are allowed to enter, the rest will stay here!"
Quite the style of college entrance examination.
At this time, someone shouted from the front: "Enter the examination room, entered the examination room."
Hearing this, people immediately rushed forward.
Yueniang hung the book box on Xie Yu and said: "Ayu, hold on to the book box, don't lose it because of the crowd. Sister will be waiting for you."
Xie Yu: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely do well in the exam."
After saying that, Xie Yu, who was walking forward, was quickly carried forward. When he was a little looser, Yueniang could no longer be seen.
The reason is simple. Xie Yu is too short now.
In fact, it was not that there were no people of his age among the abortions, it was just that there seemed to be more adults taking the boy exam, and there were even people with gray hair.
What Xie Yu knows is that even if a boy has passed the exam, he will not be considered to have any fame or tax exemption.
It's just that you can wear Confucian shirts, study in official academies, and avoid servitude.
Obviously Xie Yu had never served as a corvee, otherwise he would not have said this.
You must know that ordinary men in ancient times had to serve in rural service at the age of sixteen, and at the age of twenty they had to serve in state and county service. They had to serve until they were sixty years old.
After entering the gate of the County Academy, I queued up to the dining room, handed in my admission ticket, and checked the examination equipment.
A clerk gave Xie Yu a sign and said: "Sit according to the instructions above."
Xie Yu handed over his hands, took the book box and walked inside.
After that, Xie Yu got the number plate and came to a small bookcase on the eaves of a corridor. Although he was not assigned to the indoor, it was better than those assigned to the white ground in the courtyard.
Xie Yu opened the bookcase and took out the pen, ink and inkstone, as well as a bamboo tube of water. This water could quench thirst and be used to grind ink.
Xie Yu felt a little hungry, so before all the candidates arrived, she ate a few eggs given by Yueniang.
These are all-natural free-range eggs, big and delicious.
Then Xie Yu felt that she was not full enough, so she opened the bookcase, picked up a piece of pancake, and started to nibble on it. However, she did not dare to drink more water in the bamboo tube, otherwise she would be in trouble later.
Of course, I don't dare to eat too much. After all, my body is young, and eating too much will make my head dizzy and affect my ability to answer questions.
After a long time, everyone basically arrived. Some people dressed as officials led a few small officials and soldiers, and left after a patrol.
Some candidates on the side began to pour water to study ink, and other students followed suit, and Xie Yu naturally did the same.
Soon several officials handed out papers to the candidates. In fact, the contents of the papers were very simple, just to test your recitation ability.
Xie Yu is naturally somewhat confident in this aspect, but no matter how familiar he is with memorizing books on weekdays, there are always some corners and corners. You feel that you have mastered everything, but when it comes to the exam, you will always encounter one or two. I just can't remember the topic at the moment.
In this regard, Xie Yu is not discouraged, just perform at his best level.
After all, the boy test is done twice a year. If it doesn’t work this year, it will be next year. Don’t worry.
After handing in the papers, I left the academy.
Xie Yu, who was originally in a good mood, saw Yueniang chatting with a young Confucian scholar wearing Confucian robes.
Although the rituals were not overstepped, there seemed to be some affection between the two of them.
Xie Yu suddenly felt a green field approaching him.
Could this be the last world? It's too ridiculous, so...
So depressed.
Fortunately, when she saw a student coming out, Yueniang turned around and naturally saw Xie Yu.
Suddenly she woke up and thinking about what happened that night, Yueniang felt that she was no longer worthy of Zhang Xiucai.
So Yueniang stopped stepping on Zhang Xiucai and quickly walked towards Xie Yu.
Zhang Xiucai also saw Xie Yu, opened his mouth, swallowed some words again, hesitated, and turned around to leave.
Taking the bookbox from Xie Yu's shoulder, Yueniang asked like other family members: "Ayu, how did you do in the exam? Were the questions difficult?"
Xie Yu: "It's a bit difficult, sister, who was that person just now?"
Yueniang pretended not to know and continued: "It's okay, Ayu is still young and can't do this subject. We have the next subject and will definitely pass it."
Jian Yueniang didn't want to answer.
Xie Yu didn't want to ask again, so he said: "Well, this is the first time to take the exam, just to gain experience. I will definitely be good at the next subject."
Yueniang touched Xie Yu's head, which had grown a lot of hair, and said, "My Ayu is the smartest, and she will definitely be able to do it."
Xie Yu: "Well, sister and I are thinking the same thing. Sister, I'm hungry."
Yueniang: "Okay, sister will prepare delicious food for you."
After saying that, he stopped a taxi that had been waiting for him for a long time and wanted to go to the poor streets.
At night, while the cot was shaking, Xie Yu suddenly said: "Sister, can you open your eyes and look at me?"
Yueniang didn't answer.
Xie Yu asked again: "Sister, who is that Confucian scholar today!"
Yueniang's figure tightened, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
But seeing that Yueniang still didn't answer, Xie Yu was shaking even more.
Five days later, the boy's test results will be released!
It is said that there are thousands of candidates participating, but the number of admissions is only 99.
Xie Yu unexpectedly made the list, ranking eighty-seven.
From today on, he is considered a child and can enroll in Xiangfu County School. However, Xie Yu's grades are too low. Not only does he not get any subsidy, but he also has to pay a fee to enroll.
Yueniang was still very happy about this unexpected joy, which made Xie Yumo worry about the cost.
At the same time, he quickly took Xie Yu to the tomb of his parents and burned paper to announce the good news.
In her excitement, she listened to Yueniang's even somewhat incoherent words.
Xie Yu: "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Sister is my wife now, and I am her official. We will support each other and go on."
This made Yueniang startled, and she said: "Father, mother, and Ayu, please feel free to leave Ayu to me. I will definitely make him shine as the lintel of the Xie family."
The worship service ended quickly.
When walking back, Yueniang suddenly said: "The Confucian scholar's surname is Zhang. His mother is not in good health. I have been to see her several times. He and I... have nothing to do with each other."
After that, nothing more was said.
These words felt a bit like there was no silver 300 taels here, but Xie Yu would not ask more questions. Once some words were said, it would be difficult to take them back.
After that, Xie Yu went to the Mongolian School to thank the Mongolian teacher and did not let Yueniang go again.
The next day, Yueniang took Xie Yu to Xiangfu County to register her name. Although she was a student at her own expense, she took Xie Yu's age into account.
Not only did the scholar not despise Xie Yu, but he allowed Xie Yu to rent a house outside the academy and let his family arrange for servants to take care of him.
Yueniang's idea was naturally to consider that Xie Yu was young and wanted to rent a house outside the academy and hire a nanny from the labor market to take care of him.
Xie Yu naturally refused, saying that studying is a personal matter. If you live in the county, you will have more interactions with classmates, and it will be easier to improve your knowledge.
If someone takes care of you, you will become lazy and hinder your progress in learning.
The scholar was very satisfied after hearing this, and specifically told Xie Yu that his surname was Sun.
Xie Yu naturally understood what he meant and immediately treated Sun Xuexue as a student.
Sun Xuexiu was very satisfied with Xie Yu's sensible attitude. It is rare to meet a young and really smart person these days, so he thought Xie Yu was a potential stock.
You know, many husbands in this dynasty were born prodigies.
His Sun family's rise in power was naturally due to the fact that the eldest brother was a child prodigy. Not only did he rise faster than others at the same time in the current dynasty, but he was also young and could protect the Sun family for many years.
So Sun Xuexiu said that he would make arrangements for Xie Yu to come to the county school in half a month and wait for classes to start.
Xie Yu and Yueniang naturally saluted and thanked them.
After returning home, Yueniang came to her senses and said, "Brother, maybe that scholar Sun has fallen in love with you."
Xie Yu: "I just think I have some potential. Sister, don't worry. With Sun Xuexue taking care of me, at least my life will be fine."
"You can only rely on yourself for academic matters."
That night, Yueniang knew that she couldn't help with academic matters, so she let Xie Yu covet her more in bed.
Half a month later, Xie Yu entered Xiangfu County School.
When he arrived at the county school, Xie Yu learned that in addition to those who had been admitted, there were more ancestral Yintelu, such as those with noble titles in the family and nephews with official ranks above the fifth rank.
In short, it is good to be an official, especially a high official. If one person is an official, the whole family will benefit.
Sure enough, it is still an era of official books!
Just listening to those out-of-sync accents, Xie Yu understood why everyone was learning the Rhyme Test of the Ministry of Rites based on the Bianjing dialect as the first lesson in the county.
Just like speaking Mandarin, Beijingers take advantage.
And as a Bianjing household registration, Xie Yu only needs to take the county examination and pass it.
Candidates from other places must not only take the county exam, but also take the prefectural exam to be eligible for admission to the county school.
Of course, it also happens in ordinary county governments that more than a thousand students take the county examination at one time.
There are two to three hundred people, which is a large county for enlightenment.
As for the life of the county school, Sun Xuejun arranged for Xie Yu to live with him and a disciple named Guo who was five years older than Xie Yu and help take care of him at the same time.
Senior Brother Guo is an honest and honest man with a good temper, and he is really good to Xie Yu.
After that, Xie Yu stayed at the county school to study peacefully. However, when he arrived here, even Xie Yu, who was originally very confident in his memory, was quickly hit.
They are indeed professionals. Although the ancients were limited by their knowledge, IQ...
How should I put it? After Youqi entered the study of the Four Books, he could recite many words, but when it came to understanding, he was always slower than his classmates!
One time is nothing, but it happens again and again. Even if Xie Yu has the knowledge of modern people and occasionally performs a little bit differently, overall he is much worse.
This also made Sun Xuexue think that Xie Yu was a pseudo-prodigy who knew how to endorse, and he didn't take much care of him on weekdays.
Until three months later, I looked at the evaluations of "poor", "poor"... in the quiz.
Xie Yu, who was very suspicious that she had no talent for reading, finally couldn't bear the pressure and went home.
In the past three months, Yueniang had visited Xie Yu twice, but due to the actual situation, Yueniang only gave Xie Yu some money and food and drink.
Seeing Xie Yu's sudden return, Yueniang was also very surprised.
In his heart, Xie Yu believed that Yueniang was the person who could accompany him in this world, and he did not hide his confusion about studying.
Yueniang just thinks that Xie Yu is still young and has only studied for a few years, while others have studied much longer than Xie Yu.
Xie Yu knew it wasn't this, and Yueniang naturally didn't know what kind of soul lived in the body of little Xie Yu in front of her.
Xie Yu naturally understood that some things just don't require hard work.
But I could feel Yueniang's relief and felt much better.
So, come to the bedroom.
Yueniang naturally understood what Xie Yu meant. In fact, she was already somewhat used to being with Xie Yu... and so was she.
But, now during the day, she didn't want to...
It's a pity that Xie Yu insisted. Yueniang knew that Xie Yu was under great pressure to study, so she had no choice but to give it up.
But I didn’t expect to see that kind of thing after it was over.
Yueniang felt anxious again, worried that Xie Yu had indeed grown up.
This would happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so early.
What's even more disturbing is that if she is pregnant now, it would be good to continue the incense of the Xie family, but this would be a disservice to Zhang Xiucai in her heart.
But if she is not pregnant and cannot continue the incest for the Xie family, how can she be worthy of her deceased father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Xie Yu didn't expect this. After venting for a while, his mood improved a lot, and he turned around and fell asleep.
Because it was daytime, Yueniang had no choice but to endure the hardship and continue to open the door for business.
First, she didn't want outsiders to see anything, and second, she didn't expect that Xie Yu's expenses seemed to be much higher than expected after studying, so she wanted to save more for Xie Yu.
In fact, Xie Yu has already been very frugal. However, with the productivity of ancient times, studying is still expensive. Generally, a scholar from a small family needs to be supported by the whole family.
However, the location of Xie's Pharmacy is in a slum area, and no one is rich. Everyone comes to Xie's Pharmacy to buy medicine because it is cheap, affordable and effective.
In ancient times, it was okay to open a cheap drug store in Hukou, but it was difficult to make a fortune!
However, Yueniang naturally didn't know that Xie Yu had the support of gold and silver cakes, so she didn't need to spend too much effort.
After that, for a year, Xie Yu also had a bit of a temper. He relied on his memory and studied hard. Except for coming back once a month to vent, he basically stayed in the county and studied hard.
But in the year-end exam, I only passed a few, barely keeping up with everyone else's scores.
Seeing Xie Yu's efforts, Sun Xuexiu nodded, but the fantasy of the child prodigy had been shattered in his heart.
But when she returned home during the Chinese New Year, Yueniang was still very satisfied with Xie Yu'en's "successful" results. She specially placed these test papers on the memorial tablets of her parents-in-law and paid homage to them.
Seeing that Xie Yu had grown a little taller, Yueniang touched her belly and felt complicated for a moment.
The next year, during the annual exam, Xie Yu finally got an excellent grade in one subject after working hard for a year.
Among other students, they were also in the middle of the pack.
Sun Xuexiu suddenly met Xie Yu and said bluntly that Xie Yu did not have the talent to pass the Jinshi examination and that he would have no chance of studying like this.
