When preparing some supplies for the imperial examination, Qin Liuchen didn't let anyone else interfere. Since he couldn't feel this emotion, he tried to blend in as much as possible.The imperial examination itself is a strict group, and there are no high-tech methods in the future, so it can be considered very strict in terms of inspection.

The first thing is to wear single clothes. Fortunately, we are in the Jiangnan area now. Even if it is cold in March, it does not feel like the twelfth lunar month of winter.However, a student can only wear five layers of single clothes at most, which really tests the skills of the women in the family.

Qin Liuchen didn't have such good craftsmanship. Besides, the reason why the two of them didn't feel cold every day was because they bought underwear from the system store that had the same style as the current clothes, but the material was completely different.Wearing this, at least it can ensure that Chu Bai will not get sick. Chu Bai's original body bones were not very strong. Although he has been raised for less than a year, his foundation is still worse than others.

There is also an examination basket containing pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which is directly used for the examination basket that Chu Erlang used to test scholars at that time. After all, he passed it in one try. Although this is a feudal superstition, it can't help but have psychological implications.

During this period, Chu Bai also went to the government school to attend classes and exchange knowledge with outstanding students like Yan Shao. After all, he just completed the so-called graduation exam and got the ticket for the imperial examination. It did not mean that he actually took the exam. Become a scholar.

In the evening, I also went to Chu's father's study, where three people taught him some experiences.Those who have passed the imperial examination pave the way in front, and those behind guide.This is indeed something that ordinary people have no way of knowing.There are no examination manuals or guides anymore, you can only rely on the experience of those who came before you.

After Chu Bai listened, he would also retell it to Qin Liuchen. First, he would say it again so that he could have an impression in his mind. Secondly, he also knew that Qin Liuchen was recording the lives of the two of them.Of course, such an "interesting" thing as the imperial examination must be recorded to prevent future students from feeling that school is very difficult and thinking that they can change their destiny by traveling through time. This idea is very dangerous. It is better to study hard and stop thinking about other things. Yes.

The day of the imperial examination was scheduled for the tenth day of March. In fact, before this day, Chu Bai took the documentary certificate given by the government school and went to the Yamen to register for his examination card. The Yamen also wanted to make sure that this person was really qualified to take the examination. In order to prevent mistakes, Chu's father led his son to do this in person every time. After qualifying for the college entrance examination, he would know when he would enter the exam.

Because before the imperial examination begins, strict body searches and inspections are required, which consumes time and energy. Therefore, in most cases, the entrance begins at Xu o'clock in the evening of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and this inspection must be completed before Mao o'clock.

Because the invigilators all have to enter after midnight.The official start of the exam is at Chenshizheng, and once it starts, the entire courtyard will be closed.

The entire college examination lasts for two days and one night.It ends at the fourth quarter of the hour on March [-]th. At that time, the courtyard door can be opened only after collecting the papers, and this time is basically Xu Shizheng.

After Chu Bai got the exam card, the card and entry time were random. At this time, it all depended on luck. You must not draw the so-called bad number, and you couldn't choose the first one to enter at the entry time, otherwise It would be unbearable for people to endure the cold all night.

When he opened it, Chu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he entered the hotel at 03:30 a.m., and calculated the time, it was basically [-]:[-] in the morning. It was not too early, nor was it particularly late.

If you go in too early, you will know that you will have to wait a long time to start. If you go in too late, you will be prone to various conflicts and problems.This time is still an hour and a half away from the final closing time.Chu's father also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this time. It's okay, it's not the beginning or the end.

Looking at the number plate again, it was the examination booth where Chu Bai was going to stay these two days and one night. Father Chu squinted and thought for a moment. After setting up the examination booth in the examination room, he nodded. Chu Bai felt relieved. It looked like he was not there. Damn it, as for the specific environment of the examination room, we will see at that time.

Chu Bai told Qin Liuchen happily, and Qin Liuchen also breathed a sigh of relief. The examination environment is very affecting people's mood, and it cannot be changed. It lasts for two days.

A person's exam affects the whole family's heart. Qin Liuchen didn't even go to the workshop recently, leaving many things to the Song family and Shang Mohua.

These two people are also busy from morning to night every day, especially Mrs. Song who has the power of housekeeper. Qin Liuchen asked her at that time if she couldn't come over because she was too busy. Mrs. Song instead waved her hand and told her not to worry. Mrs. Song was that special I like the feeling that everything is handled by her, and I am the leader at home and outside.

Chu Dalang now plays with his daughter every night. His daughter-in-law occupied his study room to settle accounts. He was still laughing at that time. What kind of things could these three women do? He never thought that the more they did, the bigger they got. Now he Reduced to an idle person looking after children.After putting the child to sleep, he went to the study room, "How is it? Is there anything you need my help with?"

As soon as Ms. Song looked up, she saw her husband coming over to ask her, "I can still figure this out."

Looking at his wife's triumphant expression, Chu Dalang also reminded her, "The most taboo thing about accounting is that there should be no distinction between public and private matters. You are not only in charge of the accounts at home, but also in the shop. Be careful, don't Do bad things.”

Mrs. Song rolled her eyes at him, cleared up the inventory and then said, "You don't need to remind me. Of course I know that what I am giving away now is the family's account. I never take the workshop's account home to settle. The same is true for my family's account." I don't count going to the workshop, so there is no mistake. In the past, the third brother and sister spent a lot of time in the workshop. I basically went there in the afternoon, so as to save time. But now you can also see that the third brother and sister are busy. Regarding the third brother's exam, of course I have to stay in the workshop like the second brother and sister. Besides, I am just a settler, and the money is not under my control. There is a mother-in-law at home who is watching the workshop, and the second and third brothers are watching inside. Wait, how could I be confused?"

"That's all I asked. I really said, you have ten sentences to wait." Chu Dalang smiled, walked to the desk, lowered his head and looked at the family's expenses, "I feel that our family's expenses are not very high." It’s big.”

It happened that Mrs. Song had also settled her accounts and had a good-bye with her husband. "You only see this day. Normally, you just buy groceries and so on. You want to see the month or the end of the month." As he said that, he turned the ledger to the expenses at the end of last month. "The biggest income of our family, apart from our food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as our family's monthly salary, is the wages of these servants. There are fifteen or six servants in our family. Calculating this, our monthly income is stable Eighty taels and three cents of silver. Not counting Bi Niang, there are ten adults in my family. Each person’s monthly money is different. It is also a stable number, which is 23 taels. These two items alone are fixed expenses for a month. It’s already over 30 taels.”

Hearing this, Chu Dalang stopped again and again, "Hey, don't we have two taels of silver per person in our family? How come there are three and a half extra taels of silver?" Mrs. Song gently tapped her husband's forehead with her bare hands, "You... People are too lazy to study. We young people get [-] taels each, but not my father-in-law. My father-in-law gets [-] taels of silver every month, my mother-in-law gets [-] and a half taels, my aunt gets one tael, and my fourth brother is still young. If you don’t have a wife, you naturally know that it should be one tael of silver. See, isn’t this account clear?”

Chu Dalang didn't expect that this family would have so much money every month, so he quickly asked how much his income was.

"Income? What kind of income do you have? It all depends on your father-in-law, the money you get from school every month, the tenants and rent at the end of the year, the usual filial piety, and the shop that was part of your mother-in-law's dowry. Every year There is also a lot of rent for renting out, which is about 500 taels of silver a year, depending on the harvest. Our family's basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, including the schooling of the third and fourth brothers, gifts when coming and going, etc., are almost enough. Spend as much as you earn.”

Mrs. Song saw that her husband was already standing there, and thought it was very funny. "I never knew my father was so capable."

"Do you really think that calling me "Master of Juren" is for nothing? The filial piety from time to time is all the money sent from below. Those landlords and old wealthy people hope that their family's land will always be in their father's name, and they also take a fancy to Erlang's future. I'm sure I can win this one too." Mrs. Song said with a smile as she put some things away.
