After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family
Chapter 93: A Grand Banquet
Song Jushu never thought that he would be able to enter the Quanzhou Imperial Examination Hall in his lifetime, and it was all thanks to his granddaughter.
An old woman looked at her. Song Jushu stood there, not daring to move, because this woman was the most powerful dean in the Imperial Examination Hall.
She was holding a cup of tea in her hand. She looked at her and nodded, then shook her head, which made Song Jushu feel uneasy.
"Your granddaughter Song Yu can enter my Quanzhou Imperial College. I wonder if you are willing to send her to school?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the expression on Song Jushu's face was quite shocked.
"Would you like that?"
The old man asked again patiently.
"Of course I am willing, but my family is too busy with trivial matters now, and I don't know if I can postpone it. I promise that my sister Yu will enter the Quanzhou Imperial Academy with excellent results."
When Song Jushu said this, she had a plan. She had just passed the imperial examination, but she was already old and there were not many options she could plan for herself.
If Yu Jie'er is always exposed to the public, not only will she be targeted, but she may also die young. For a poor family, it is very easy to make a genius disappear.
It was really unsafe. She planned to let Yu Jie go to Bailu Academy in the county town after she turned six.
She took it step by step. She didn't want to be remembered because of this exhibition. In the future, when Yu Jie'er came to the Imperial Examination Hall with her own strength, there wouldn't be too many handles left.
In the final analysis, the family has no real power and no connections, so it cannot take on the current big pie.
The more you live, the more you see things. The old woman was also an experienced person, so she did not press her, but gave her a piece of paper.
"This is a letter of recommendation from the Quanzhou Imperial Examination Hall. It can be used anytime, even after I die."
After placing the letter of recommendation on the table, she left. It was getting late and if she didn't leave now the Imperial Examination Hall would be closed.
Song Jushu was such a smart person. She left with the recommendation letter and her package that day. The money owed to the inn had been returned long ago. This time, she got two months of free accommodation.
Some people also chartered boats to leave at night. They were all businessmen, but Song Jushu didn't mind at all. Merchant ships were not that expensive. She paid the money and got on the ship.
She has no power and now feels that it is quite dangerous to stay in Quanzhou. She needs planning and connections, but this matter cannot be rushed.
When the prefect sent someone to look for her again, Song Jushu had already left. The prefect had no choice but to give up. It would take half a month by boat to reach the county town, so why should she waste time?
Besides, if the commotion gets too big, it will inevitably attract attention from the higher-ups. The seed players are still there, so she can still make plans and strive for a promotion, a raise, and a move to Kyoto as soon as possible.
The merchants on the ship all came to make friends with Song Jushu. This man is a juren! Maybe only a few hundred people out of ten thousand can pass the exam!
Just tell me if it’s powerful or not?
Song Yu was the most popular person in the county, the top student! She was an excellent student, and she might even be the top scholar in the future. Besides, she was only three years old.
The county magistrate came to visit and Wu He went to greet him. She and the Song family were relatives, and Song Jushu asked her to take care of him, so how could she ignore it.
A steady stream of wealthy men, businessmen, and minor officials came to visit him out of respect.
Song Yi didn't go to the farm either. She also needed to have her own circle of contacts, so she could put farming aside for the time being.
Ma Taozhi and Pan Xiaofu were laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. Song Jing was so angry that she went to the pharmacy to get some medicine for them. Only then did their mouths start to feel better.
After a month, the Song family returned to peace. It was not until Song Jushu returned home that the Song family began to become lively again.
"My dear, I didn't expect that! With your strength, my Wenxuan is way out of his league! I really admire you!"
Wu He had to admit that Song Jushu was a capable man, and his character and vision were not comparable to ordinary people.
"No way! I was just lucky."
Song Jushu answered very naturally, without any trace of pride, arrogance or complacency.
Wu He admired her even more. This woman was extraordinary. If she hadn't been delayed, she might be able to call the shots in the court now.
This time, Song Jushu did not keep a low profile. She paid for a banquet with several tables at a restaurant, a banquet for the Juren scholar.
The county town was suddenly in an uproar again. The Song family was truly extraordinary!
As a result, countless scholars, businessmen and government officials came to visit and celebrate. The restaurant was full for a while. She had no choice but to open a few more tables, and spent a total of five hundred taels of silver.
But it's still acceptable as I don't have to pay for my studies.
Song Jushu opened her own literary gallery to support those who could not afford to go to school by allowing them to study in her shop, and she did not charge a penny.
She also opened a funding agency, where any scholar who encountered serious difficulties could go to her funding agency and get ten taels of silver for emergency assistance.
But not everyone can get it. You can only apply after getting confirmation.
After passing the imperial examination this time, not only did her Song family stand up, but money also flowed into their pockets continuously. Song Jushu was not stupid.
Don’t refuse something that comes to your door, because there will be many places to spend money in the future!
Now she wanted to pursue her career and expand her network of contacts. Thinking about the time she would spend in Kyoto, she made up her mind to spur Yu Jie'er on.
Song Yu:…………………………
I... am still a child! Grandma, wake up!
June is here.
There are more and more tourists in the county town. Song Yu’s house is under renovation, and the whole family is now living in the Wu family’s guest room.
Wu Wenxuan was discussing embroidered clothes patterns with Song Jing. It must be said that the two of them got along exceptionally well. Song Jing always loved to wear beautiful clothes and show off everywhere.
Now his family can be said to have escaped from the peasant life, and he also pays special attention to the young ladies from wealthy and powerful families in the county.
At the men's college, he learned another very important lesson: finding a good wife is the best help to the family.
Song Yu was still very much liked by Wu He, who even left a separate study room for her in the Wu family, which was directly converted from her daughter's study room.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Song Yi arranged all the crops to be worked on. The Wu family has extensive businesses, and not just in Changshu County.
However, her ancestral home is here, so Wu He is reluctant to leave. She is a homesick person.
In two months, Chang Feng will take the examination for the title of scholar, which makes Chang Wei extremely anxious.
The one who is going to take the exam is Chang Feng. I don't know why she is so anxious?
But Song Yu was still a good boss, so he gave her three days off.
There is a temple on Lishan Mountain outside the county town. It is very small, but many people visit it, and there are only a few monks inside.
Chang Feng was taken by Chang Wei and her father to burn incense and pray for peace and blessings.
People coming and going on the road climbed up the mountain one by one, panting. Chang Wei was very abnormal. Not only was she not tired, she felt like she could fly... no, use that lightness skill to fly up.
But it’s not good to be too conspicuous, she has to keep a low profile.
