The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chief Bai said excitedly, "Okay, okay, Zhao girl is a lucky girl. Without you, the Bai family wouldn't be what it is today! After the New Year, let your third uncle send you to the capital."

Uncle Bai also sighed, "Zhao Zhao, Jishitang has expanded rapidly in the past two months, and Baiji Workshop has made a lot of money. I will give you your share of the interest later.

Your uncle will always be guarding Hexi Village. After a while, your second uncle and his family will move over. He plans to open another workshop in the suburbs of the city.

Besides, you can see that the West Courtyard is being renovated, and the third and fourth rooms will move in next month. I wanted you to slowly get familiar with everyone, but you have to stay in the capital!"

Aunt Bai San said, "It's not like we won't come back. Besides, Linyang County is not far from the capital, only three or four days away. We can still go visit Miss Zhao anytime in the future!"

"That's right, Third Aunt is right!" Bai Zhaozhao quickly changed the subject. She remembered that the Third and Fourth Houses seemed to have some conflicts, so she asked curiously, "Are Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa going to live together?"

Chief Bai understood what she meant and said with a smile, "Although they are brothers, they have already separated, so it is naturally inconvenient for them to be together. A wall will be built in the middle of the west courtyard."

In the afternoon, Bai Zhaozhao came to the study. She didn't know much about the three direct branches of the Bai family, so she came specifically to ask Bai Hao and Bai Lin.

Bai Lin explained: "You know about Elder Bai back then, right?"

Bai Zhaozhao: “I know!”

"He has two legitimate sons. The eldest son has two sons, namely the grandfather of the first house and the grandfather of the clan leader of the sixth house. However, the grandfather of the first house died young, so the grandfather of the sixth house inherited the position of clan leader and half of the real estate here."

"Then the two grandfathers of the third and fourth rooms are the two sons of the second legitimate son!"

"That's right. Your grandfather and your great grandfather are the sons of Lord Bai's illegitimate son. But your grandfather never married and had no branches. He has always been following your great grandfather and is considered the fifth branch. But strictly speaking, you and your grandfather should be the seventh branch!"

Now Bai Zhaozhao basically understood: "Cousin Lin, are you confident of passing the imperial examination this time?"

Bai Lin nodded: "Of course, my father has prepared me very well!"

Bai Zhaozhao suddenly asked, "I remember that your father was also a scholar. Is he taking the exam this year?"

Bai Zhaozhao had known about the Third House before. The eldest son of the Third Grandfather, Bai Lin's father, was a scholar who had failed the imperial examinations many times and went to teach in the clan school. The second son of the Third Grandfather was an eighth-rank official and was still in Hexi County.

Bai Lin was a little surprised: "Of course my father won't go. He said he had given up the idea of ​​becoming an official a long time ago."

Bai Zhaozhao quickly fooled him, "But things are different now! Cousin Lin, you see, if our Bai family wants to rise, it's not just a matter of renovating the house, we need someone to set up a household!

Two months ago, when Baiji Workshop was just starting out, there were already people who were jealous. If I hadn’t met the county lord by chance, who knows what would have happened!

At present, there are only two officials in the Bai family. The third uncle of the sixth room is a sixth-rank official, and the second uncle of the third room is an eighth-rank official. Is this enough? This is definitely not enough! Go back and talk to your father, and take the imperial examination together, isn't it good?"

Bai Lin was a little dazed after hearing this, and nodded, saying, "Sister Zhao is right, I am short-sighted. Now that the Bai family has made money, they should also have the corresponding strength! I will go home tomorrow and call my father!"

"Well, cousin Lin has good taste! By the way, ask your father to take a good look at the books I found!"

"it is good!"

Bai Zhaozhao remembered that in the original novel, although Cheng Jiayu had no problem passing the imperial examination, his teacher advised him to take the exam again three years later because he had already won the third place in the junior class and many people were paying attention to him and expected him to win the first place.

However, Cheng Jiayu refused. He hoped to enter the court as soon as possible and become a superior person. After all, there were so many beauties waiting for him! Therefore, Cheng Jiayu ranked tenth in the original book, which was a good result.

There is a small episode here. Two days before the exam, a group of students gathered at Qingfeng Teahouse. Cheng Jiayu was sought after as the top scorer in the Hexi County examination for the scholar. A top scorer from another county was very dissatisfied and became jealous of him for some unknown reason and then made things difficult for him.

Afterwards, for some reason, a student suggested that several top scorers from various counties compete with each other. When it was Cheng Jiayu's turn, the student who was jealous of him deliberately gave him an obscure and difficult question from the book "University".

Just when the other party thought that Cheng Jiayu could not answer and was mocking her, Cheng Jiayu smiled slightly, calmly exchanged for the reading potion, absorbed the book "University", and then quoted from classics, talked eloquently, and slapped the other party in the face.

As a result, Cheng Jiayu became famous in one battle.

Until the time of the exam, he was still regretting that he had wasted a lot of points to absorb a book that he had not been tested on for many years, but when he got the test paper, he felt that it was God's help!

After the exam, many students who knew about the situation thanked him, saying that because of his explanation, they were able to answer several questions that they had not been able to answer before.

That is to say, if it weren't for the difficulty caused by that talented scholar, he might not have been able to get the tenth place!

After the results were announced, everyone congratulated Cheng Jiayu. He took the opportunity to increase his popularity and said regretfully that a scholar from the same village had an accident and was unable to take the exam.

Just from this one sentence, Bai Zhaozhao knew that it was Bai Lin who was being talked about. When she saw Bai Lin coming to the capital city before, she felt as if she had overlooked something. Now thinking back, he was the cannon fodder in the book that Cheng Jiayu regretted with just one sentence!

There is only half a month left before the exam. What kind of accident will happen to Bai Lin?

three days later.

Bai Lin looked worried: "Sister Zhao, just tell me what you want to say! I can accept anything!"

Bai Zhaozhao blinked: "No, cousin Lin, just continue reading!"

"Then why do you always follow me?"

"You don't understand this! As the saying goes, sharpening your spear before the battle is better than sharpening it! So I decided to watch you study before the exam!"

Bai Lin was silent for a moment, then glanced at Bai Hao who was doing handicraft work beside him with a dogtail grass in his mouth. The meaning was obvious: why wasn't he staring at him while he was reading.

Bai Zhaozhao explained: "Cousin Hao has memorized all the books I gave him. I checked it!"

Bai Lin immediately perked up: "I've memorized it too! I'll recite it to you!"

"No need, I know you can recite it! Cousin Lin, you don't understand, I had a dream, in which you were in trouble, so let's be more careful this time! I have high hopes for you!"

“…My father also has high hopes for me” He didn’t even stare at me like that.

"Uncle Sanfang said he felt relieved knowing I was watching you."

Bai Lin: How can I not be at ease? In the entire Bai family, who else doesn't favor you?

Bai Lin resigned himself to his fate and made a request: "Then can you stand further away when I go to the toilet?"

Bai Zhaozhao said sadly: "I'm afraid you'll fall..."
