Zi Hu sighed and said, "You two have so much strength. While you are still young, study hard and you will definitely achieve great success in the future."

The brother and sister said at the same time: "I'll leave it to you, Master, from now on."

"Oh, right." Zi Hu glanced at the courtyard, "Miss Aman, I heard that you have an older sister? Is your sister willing to learn martial arts?"

Song Chuman knew he would ask this question, and said, "Master, we asked our eldest sister yesterday. She saw us practicing martial arts and wanted to learn it too. But she had a bad experience before and often went hungry, which weakened her body. She is not suitable for learning yet. Let her take care of her body and learn it when there is a chance in the future."

As for He Xiaoshuang, she also asked her if she was willing to learn martial arts.

She was unwilling to do so, saying that she was already satisfied as long as she could recognize a few words every day.

Song Chuman didn't force her.

Zi Hu nodded: "Indeed, if people with poor health learn martial arts, they will not be able to achieve the effect of strengthening their bodies, and it is very likely to have adverse effects..."

Therefore, starting from this day, if the weather was good, Song Chuman and Song Chuhuai would go fishing during the day, learn martial arts with Zihu in the afternoon, and let Song Hexiu give them literary lessons in the evening.

If the weather is bad, I will study all day and arrange the time randomly.

Zihu was indeed a martial arts expert, and he could use any weapon with ease, which made the brother and sister admire him very much.

On July 14th, Song Hexiu took part in the Tongshi exam.

There are three children's examinations in total. The children's examinations in Xuanling Country are very different from those in ancient China in the previous life. There are no examinations every few months, but the times are scheduled together.

Each exam lasts for three days, so three exams together last for nine days in total.

The cycle is three days, with one day of rest in the middle, but you cannot leave the examination room and can only rest at your seat.

In the past, the schedules were not arranged so closely, but more than a hundred years ago, an emperor of the Xuanling Kingdom felt that the three exams had to be separated by several months, which was a waste of money and time, so he scheduled them all together.

One of the purposes is to allow candidates to pay attention to their physical health and exercise more in addition to studying.

In the past, there were candidates who, after only three days of taking the exam, became exhausted and fainted in the exam room before even leaving. Thus, all their ten years of hard study were wasted.

Xuanling Kingdom does not need officials with such poor health.

Just imagine, if the officials were the first to fall every time the people were suffering, wouldn’t that be adding to the chaos?

Scheduling the time so tightly is not only a test for the candidates, but also can reduce the burden on the examiners.

Those who are in poor health may be eliminated before they have submitted all their test papers.

Therefore, on the afternoon of July 16, when Song Hexiu came out of the examination room, he looked like a lost soul.

There are very strict regulations in the examination room. After entering the examination room, candidates are not allowed to hand anything outside or accept anything from outside, even during the two rest days.

You can only bring in change of clothes on the first day, and the things you bring in are also subject to strict inspection. If any abnormality is found, you will be disqualified from the exam.

Even water bags cannot be brought in.

Before the exam, a separate small table with a day's worth of water was prepared next to each candidate's desk.

There was also a special person to add water for them.

For the three examinations, a total of ninety taels of silver were paid.
