An alpha's ancient life record

After arriving home, Shen Qingshu rested for a while, and a servant informed her to have dinner.

Originally, big families paid attention to sharing meals, but Chengyibo's mansion is really sparsely populated, and it would be too boring not to get together.

In the evening, her sister Shen Peili also arrived, and the whole family sat around to eat, so they inevitably asked her how she was doing today, and she answered them one by one.

"It's true that I have forgotten some of my homework in the past, but my husband didn't make things difficult for me, and let me get used to it slowly. It will be fine after a while."

He served her a bowl of chicken soup, forced a smile and said, "Shu'er, you are still young, so don't worry."

Old Liu also said: "Yes, you should study for two more years, and then leave when you are sure. I heard today that your classmate, Mr. Gao's second son, failed the county examination in February this year. He just passed the exam. Several times, my confidence was gone.”

Shen Qingshu was taken aback, did he mean Gao Mingche?

He Shi asked: "Is it the tall man with a pair of tan flowers?"

Old Mrs. Liu nodded, "His eldest son, Mr. Xiao Gao, also won the Tanhua prize last year, and became a good talk in the capital for a while."

Shen Peili clapped her hands, "Ah, I saw Master Xiao Gao riding a horse through the streets last year!"

It turns out that this is the situation in Senior Brother Gao's family, his father and elder brother are all Tanhualang, but he himself is not even a scholar.Seeing him walking around alone today, looking serious and unsmiling, he must be under a lot of pressure.

Shen Qingshu couldn't help but remain silent.

After dinner, it's time to go to sleep when night falls. The ancients went to bed after sunrise, but Shen Qingshu couldn't get used to it. For her, seven or eight o'clock was still too early.

But there was not much entertainment in this era, Shen Qingshu tossed and turned on the bed for a while, but still couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and went to the study to read.

She never expected that she would have a day of reading by candlelight.

Shizu, you are so omnipotent, why didn't you invent electricity together?

Under the dim candlelight, combined with the original owner's densely packed notes, Shen Qingshu even guessed, but could barely understand the meaning.

Speaking of which, the original owner's handwriting was also pretty good, and the handwriting was beautiful. If Shen Qingshu hadn't just practiced calligraphy in his previous life, he really didn't know how to solve this problem.

While reading a book, with a sound of support, her mother suddenly opened the door and came in.

Shen Qingshu put down the book, "Why are you here?"

He brought a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup over, and put it lightly on her table, "Mother sees that the light is still on in your study, I'll bring you something to eat."

Shen Qingshu reluctantly took two sips and put it aside, "I'm sorry, I'll drink it later."

The hesitant expression on He's face was too obvious, Shen Qingshu took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

He nodded, sat down on the chair next to her, and looked at her lovingly, "You are in good shape, why are you still reading so late?"

Shen Qingshu said casually: "The baby can't fall asleep, so just get up and sit."

Mrs. He was silent for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Shu'er, you are getting older now, so you don't need to work so hard."

this?

Shen Qingshu's heart moved, and he showed a bit of entanglement and embarrassment on his face, "But my grandmother has been urging me, and I will definitely give it a try in two years."

Mrs. He also showed a sad look, "Your grandmother, she wants you to revitalize the uncle's house wholeheartedly, but this is a terrible disaster! Alas, we are afraid that she will not be able to bear it, so we have been hiding it from her, but you must not end Yes, I have to tell her then."

Although she had already guessed it before, Shen Qingshu was still a little surprised that after more than ten years of getting along, her grandmother was really kept in the dark.

Shen Qingshu pretended to be dazed and said: "Then the books I have read for so many years are not for nothing?"

He felt a pain in his heart, and held her hand, "It's mother's fault, Shu'er, it's all because mother is sorry for you, but mother really has nothing to do."

Shen Qingshu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Mother, what were you thinking at that time?!"

Mrs. He didn't suspect him, and hurriedly explained, "Your father was already dying of illness. If you were a girl, the imperial court would take back the title after he died. We orphans and widows, how can we keep such a huge family business?"

"And your grandmother, your father's only son, will go with him at that time, and she will be better when she hears the news of your birth. There is nothing we can do."

Shen Qingshu nodded secretly, which basically confirmed her guess.

In the context of polygamy and adoptive blood relatives, it is actually very rare to be deprived of a title because of extinction.

But it is so difficult for the heirs of the Chengyi uncle's house. Her grandfather only had two younger brothers, one died young, and the other only had a pair of sons and daughters, and no grandson.

The third generation didn't have a single male!

Shen Qingshu suspected that there was something wrong with the Shen family's y gene, which forced her father to make such a bad move in order to keep his title.

And it's just a little sincerity, there are so many princes above, and no one came to check it specially, so that they escaped a catastrophe.

Shen Qingshu sorted out his thoughts, held her mother's hand instead, and comforted: "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself, I don't blame you."

He only thought that she was insincere, but still felt very guilty, "It's hard for you, a good daughter's family, but she has to dress up as a man, not to mention studying hard every day, and she won't be able to marry and have children for the rest of her life."

Shen Qingshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, I don't think it's bitter, I'm good at studying, I really can't bear it if I get married and have children."

Shen Qingshu didn't know what the original owner thought, anyway, she was quite lucky.

Although there are traversers who have changed history and women's social status has improved a bit, this is still a patriarchal society after all.She is a descendant, if she is really going to marry someone, serve her husband with someone, and spend all day in the backyard, jealousy and intrigue, then she might as well be a man.

Isn't that just being a single dog?fine!

Love is not just necessary.

She traveled over and used the original owner's body, so it could be said that the original owner had favored her with life.Then she has to protect the original owner's family and let them spend this life in peace.

Moreover, the original owner studied so hard, probably because he wanted to take the imperial examination to show what he had learned.Now that she passed through and used her mental power to confuse the inspector's perception, she could do this.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingshu warned: "Mother, I'm afraid grandma won't be able to accept it. Since grandma doesn't know about this, then don't tell her. You don't have to worry about the scientific examination, I have my own way."

He Shi was suspicious, "What way?"

"Keep it secret, you'll know when the time comes." Shen Qingshu smiled at her, but stopped talking, and instead urged her, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

He had no choice but to get up, "Okay, Shu'er, don't watch it too late."

The next day, Shen Qingshu got up early again, but this time she was the only one eating alone, and she found out tearfully that she was the only one in the mansion who got up early, and yesterday was her first day back to school, it was just a special case.

At this point, Shen Qingshu started his daily study in Dayan, leaving early and returning late every day, traveling between the uncle's residence and the private school.

After all, she is an adult, and she has no fear of Mr. Zheng. Whenever she encounters a question that she doesn't understand, she has the cheek to ask Mr. Zheng. She is not timid at all.

After a period of time, she improved so fast that everyone in the school felt insecure and worked even harder.

The imperial examination system here is very similar to that of later generations. Those who pass the county, government, and academy examinations are called scholars, those who pass the provincial examination are called Juren, those who pass the general examination are called Gongshi, and those who pass the palace examination are called Jinshi.

In terms of examination content, the Xiucai stage focuses on scriptures and ink meanings, similar to later generations' poetry filling in the blanks, classical Chinese translation and short-answer questions, while the Jinshi stage focuses on theory and policy, that is, writing essays.

The difference is that, in addition to these, law, arithmetic, history and geography also occupy an important place after the college entrance examination.

Of course this was caused by the traversers.

In addition, after Yan Shizu plagiarized many poems from later generations, perhaps out of guilt, he took advantage of the opportunity to include poems and prose into the examination content, which made Shen Qingshu's teeth itch with hatred.

As we all know, the traveler is the least good at writing poems. Fortunately, the proportion of poems and prose in the total score is relatively low.

Therefore, besides teaching the scriptures, Mr. Zheng also taught them some basic arithmetic and poetry and essays, and occasionally pointed out their calligraphy.

Every time he wrote a poem, Shen Qingshu would first scold Shizu in his heart, and then think hard, scratching his head for a long time, and finally wrote a horrible poem, which made Mr. Zheng shake his head again and again, and was ridiculed by several classmates.

When it comes to counting, the situation is completely reversed, Shen Qingshu is completely outstanding, even Zheng Heng can't compare to her.

You know, in her previous life, she was a professional and technical talent who graduated from a military academy. She was too tired to do two high math problems to relax and relax. Winning this group of elementary school students really didn't feel any sense of pride.
