After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family

Standing on the dock, after saying goodbye to his family one by one, Song Jushu boarded the ship to Quanzhou.

It would be faster to go to Kyoto by boat, arriving in half a month. If she went by land, she would miss the scientific expedition time.

This was what she considered good. Although water transportation was expensive, it was safe and fast, and the various waterside stations were also relatively safe.

Not only are the mountain roads difficult to travel on, but you may also encounter bandits and large wild animals. If you take the official road, you will have to pay ten times the price.

Therefore, many people who go to take the exam will choose to take the water route. There are many water routes in the Water Country, and there will be patrolling officers and soldiers on the river.

No matter what, it is more stable to travel by water, and no matter how expensive it is, it is not as expensive as taking the official road.

Pan Xiaofu watched the boat going farther and farther away, feeling a little worried, but more relieved that Song Jushu was late for the scientific expedition.

There were more than a hundred people on the boat, most of whom were going to take the imperial examination. Therefore, the county magistrate also sent a few female soldiers with good martial arts skills to escort them.

This is the pride and future of Changshu County! So she dare not be careless.

Song Jushu looks like she is in her 30s, and no one knows that she is actually 55 years old.

As long as the scholars meet the requirements for the imperial examination, no matter how old you are, you can take part. Some people will continue to take the exam even if they fail. Some girls are still taking the exam even when they are old.

No one laughed at it. This was a game of pursuing knowledge and fame, and it was the obsession of scholars.

The boat swayed away from the waterway of Changshu County, carrying the ideals and aspirations of every scholar. Wasn't it for the imperial examinations every three years that several years or even decades of hard study?

The Song family also started to get busy. Now that the martial arts training has stopped, the family members are preparing Song Yu for the provincial examination.

Nowadays, money is spent like water. Song Yu spent no less than several hundred taels of silver on paper and pen. However, Song Yu's pen was provided by Wu He, who was said to have been used by her daughter who passed the imperial examination that year.

There are many types of people who pass the imperial examinations, and Wu Zhuqing is considered one of the best, at least he got into the second place.

Song Yu was not picky and just used it. It was a child test and she passed it easily.

But seeing her family members worrying about her and cheering her on, she felt warm at heart.

So, her grandfather arranged courses for her, which were all instructed by Song Jushu when he left.

Song Yu:……………………

Oh! Grandma’s love is so great that she was so moved that she wanted to cry!

Chang Feng often comes to the Song family. She is very respectful to Song Yu and her attitude is even better than that to Chang Wei, the old mother.

Chang Wei, who was standing by, felt that she had raised her daughter in vain and felt jealous, but her daughter also had vision and the young lady was very capable!

"Sister Feng, are you going to take the exam to become a scholar?"

Chang Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"In the county town, there is an exam every year. It doesn't take three years. There is an exam in March and August every year."

The examination for the scholar was not as important as the examination for the juren, but scholars from all over the world had to take the examination in their own county, otherwise their results would be invalidated. This was stipulated by law.

However, the process of becoming a Tongsheng student was not so compulsory. You had to go to the Tongyuan in your town, where famous teachers and government officials would review your information to see if it was true and whether you had covered the knowledge points in the enlightenment textbooks. This process was also a very strict process before you could pass.

"Did Sister Feng take the exam?"

Chang Feng patiently answered her question again.

"No, I plan to leave in August this year. I won't leave in March. There are still some knowledge points that I haven't mastered yet and need to polish."

Song Yu nodded. Yes, Chang Feng has a stable character and is worth cultivating.

In the study, besides Song Yu, there was also Chang Feng. The old and the young teamed up to study together.

Song Jing was sitting in her seat, embroidering a bright red dress, some red plum blossoms, and a pair of bright red boots with rabbit fur embroidered all around.

Liu Xiaoman curled her lips. Who is Song Jing doing this for? She hasn't rushed to make the clothes for the order for several days.

After Song Jing finished, a rare satisfied smile appeared on her face. The clothes for her sister's trial exam were ready, and wearing them would surely bring good luck to her sister.

He didn't rush to make today's order because all the orders were from that woman. He smiled and embroidered a cuff in a good mood.

Liu Xiaoman:…………………………

He doesn't work hard even when money is delivered to his door. It has been two years, and he is always calm and composed. If I give it to him, he will finish it even if he has to stay up late.

Song Jing didn't even look at him. The conjunctivitis wasn't just today. As long as he didn't do anything bad for him, he wouldn't deal with him.

The 13-year-old Song Jingsheng is pretty and handsome, with elegant and calm manners, and he always shows the etiquette of a lady from a noble family.

Many girls had their own little ideas, but they were all rejected. Song Jing soon became famous in this area as a cold lotus that could be admired from afar but not touched.

The owner of the clothing store is a young man. He also has a daughter, but she is only seven years old. He often sighs that they are not destined to be together.

Looking at Song Jing's figure, he, a man, was moved! Not to mention Song Jing's elegant temperament, which was very charming.

Song Jing happily took the clothes back home, knocked on the door, and handed the clothes to Song Yu.

Looking at Song Jing's charming smile in the room, he was instantly distracted and uttered a word of praise in an inexplicable way.

"Sister Yu, your brother is so handsome."

Song Yu said proudly.

"Needless to say, my second brother is the most gentle brother in the family."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately became alert. Was Chang Feng planning to target her second brother?

Chang Feng quickly withdrew her gaze. She was not a lustful person. She was just looking at Song Jing with appreciation for beautiful things and had no intention of offending her.

Song Yu was relieved. Her second brother would have to find the best one in the future, so she had to carefully screen him, especially the woman who would send packages to her second brother every year.

My family hasn't been setting up the stall recently and has been staying at home to take care of Song Yu.

Song Yu:……………………

All right! She'll just pretend to work harder!

Song Xin didn't go to school until the beginning of April. There was no exam for boys in the school and students graduated at the age of 12. If he wanted to go to school like girls, it would be too difficult.

Even if you pass the exam, you cannot take the science exam. The reality is so cruel. There are no exceptions at all, and there is no such example in history.

Chang Feng's company made her life a little less boring, but time also passed quite quickly.

The first day of March.

The Tongshitongyuan in the county town was full of people. Wu He had arranged everything. Song Yu's seat was the first one. Each seat was separated by a wooden board, and the distance between them was two meters.

Looking at this scene, Song Yu sighed, the examinations of the ancients were really strict!

In this children's examination, there was not only Song Yu, but also two three-year-old children. They looked at each other and then looked away.
