Chapter 262 Chapter 261 Preparation
After dinner, the family enjoys the shade in the yard, talking about the interesting things they encountered today, or discussing the future development of the family.

Of course, there are also people who say why Wei Ziang has become so dark lately. Xiaomi knows what's going on, but he also booed, saying that Wei Ziang is not as fair and cute as before.

As for the reason, can you go out of the city and enter the city under the scorching sun every day without getting tanned?

This is thanks to Xiaomi putting him in the space. When practicing swords, he can absorb spiritual energy. Otherwise, he might have turned into a little black man.

However, Jiang Hu patted Wei Ziang's arm: "I seem to have grown a lot in the past two months, and the clothes are a bit short today, Er Niang, do you still have cloth at home?"

"Yes, I happen to be free recently. I'll get a ruler and make you all a new dress."

As the so-called half-children eat poor old men, the four older boys in the family are also good at eating in hot weather.

Not only that, but the height is also growing rapidly, especially Jiang Yu and Liu Ze, the childishness on their faces has faded a lot, and they have transformed from children into handsome teenagers.

Full of vigor and high spirits.

When he changed his bunt and put on his long gown, he looked even more majestic and dignified.

Xiaomi dragged his chin with both hands, blinked and asked: "Brother, Brother Ze, you are both over 12 years old, and you are [-] years old, and you are also adults. Is there anyone to match you?"

It is basically the norm to talk about marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and to get married at fifteen or sixteen.

After all, he was still a child, and when asked such intimate words, his face would inevitably blush: "What are you talking about, Xiaomi, you are a girl, how can you ask such a question."

Of course Jiang Yu said this, Liu Ze didn't speak, but his eyes drifted to Xiaoxue next to him.

Xiaoxue's eyes were bright and curious. If it wasn't for the girl's habitual reserve, she might want to ask her too.

After all, the two elder brothers in the family are very good. Not only are they good-looking, but Grandpa Liu also said that they are often praised by the master in school.

Such a good brother will definitely be missed by many matchmakers.

With just one glance, Liu Ze could see what Xiaoxue was thinking. He sighed slightly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face, "Even if someone is a matchmaker, they are still negotiating with the elders. Why would they come to us?"

Xiaoxue nodded instinctively: "That's right, when I was in Fu'an Village, the village chief's grandmother told my mother."

I still remember that they insisted on matching Jiang Yu because of the village chief's wife, so they almost didn't force the girl into their house.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes: "Xiaoxue, can we not talk about this?"

I didn't see that Grandpa Liu and Liu Ze were laughing.

As a result, Jiang Yu changed the subject and looked at Liu Ze with a smile: "Ah Ze, how about you? Has anyone told you about your marriage? You have a good family background. I guess the threshold of your family has been broken, right?"

Liu Ze hadn't spoken yet, but Uncle Liu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "No rush, Ze'er is still young, we'll talk about it in two years."

Liu Ze nodded along the way: "That's right, it's more important to study now, the exam is coming this year, brother Yu, how are you preparing?"

This exam is the college exam. If you pass the exam, you will be a scholar. Even the land at home can be tax-exempted!
Jiang Yu became serious in an instant: "No matter what, do your best."

Uncle Liu comforted: "Don't worry, you are still young, this time you should practice your courage and accumulate some experience."

After all, the examination of talent is not as simple as Tongsheng, it is more rigorous and harder.

Examination for talent is a severe physical and mental test. The college examination lasts for three consecutive days. During these three days, the basic necessities of life are in the examination room, and you cannot leave.

If I fail this year's college exam, which is held twice every three years, I will be able to take the exam again at the end of next year. At that time, I will be almost 14 years old. After studying for a few more years, I will be at the right age to take the rural exam.

The township examination is even more difficult. There are three consecutive exams, each of which lasts three days. You are not allowed to leave the exam room for nine days, and you have to prepare food and drink by yourself.

Although juren cannot directly enter the court as an official, they can appoint Jiaoyu, county magistrate, Zhu Bo and other official positions. Well, officials at the deputy county level have also entered the officialdom.

However, if you want to get to this point, you have to pay a lot of hardships, and it is not something you can achieve with hard work.

Jiang Hu is not as clear as Uncle Liu, but he also nodded: "Regardless of whether you can pass the exam or not, rest assured, you are still young, it doesn't matter if you take the exam a few more times."

Uncle Liu laughed and said, "There's no need to take the exam a few more times. The last time I went back, I happened to meet their master in the opera garden. I heard the master talk about it."

Uncle Liu would go back to live for a few days every once in a while, to see old friends, etc., and it was normal to meet his wife.

"Master said that although Yu'er is smart, she was enlightened too late and her foundation is a bit unstable. Instead of trying to pass the exam now, it's better to settle down for two years, and it won't be a problem to get a high ranking in the next exam."

Jiang Yu was surprised: "Grandpa Liu, does Master really say that about me?"

Uncle Liu nodded: "That's right, it's not long before the hospital exam. If there are no accidents, he should specifically tell you about this in the past few days."

The college has more people admitted to being a scholar, the dean and the master will have good looks, and the reputation of the college will be better.

But in addition to the number of people, the ranking is also very important. If it is a student of any college, it will get a higher ranking and a longer face!
Starting from one point, and Jiang Yu is indeed still young, it is normal to have such a suggestion.

Jiang Yu thought about it for a moment: "If that's the case, it's not impossible to try the water first this year."

After all, he also wanted a high ranking, which would be a good foundation for the township examination and even the palace examination in the future.

Of course, the premise is that if he can get to that step.

Jiang Hu listened to the exchange between the two, he was not familiar with these, and he couldn't get in the way. After they finished talking, he asked: "Uncle Liu, are you going to Fuzhou for the college examination?"

Before, I always felt that Fu'an Village was remote, and it took eight or nine days to take a horse-drawn carriage to Cheng County.

It is farther from Kecheng County to Fuzhou!

I heard it will take nearly 20 days!This is on the premise that the road is unimpeded.

"Fuzhou? So far away? Wouldn't it take nearly two or three months?"

Erniang began to feel reluctant.

It’s just that the journey will take forty days, and the exam will take nine days. You should go some time in advance to get acquainted first, and you also need to rest and recuperate from the hard work of the journey, right?
After the exam is over, you still have to rest for a few days to recuperate your body, and you can't come back until the results are released.

In this way, not to mention three months, two and a half months is certain.

"Don't worry, those who can go to Fuzhou to take the college exam are all young talents in the county. The county magistrate also pays special attention to it, and will send special government servants to send the students to Fuzhou."

Uncle Liu thought Jiang Hu Erniang was worried about Jiang Yu's safety.

Xiaomi could tell at a glance that her parents didn't mean that.

The eyeballs rolled around, and I thought: "Grandpa Liu, can we go together? If someone takes care of you, brother and brother Ze will take the exam more calmly and worry-free, right?"

If it is handed over to the yamen servants, the most is to live in the inn, eat in the inn, there are too many people, and you can't review your homework well.

Although the eldest brother will not pass the exam this time, and will focus and focus on the next time, but this reference experience can't be too bad.

Parents must have thought the same way, after all, it was the first time for the elder brother to take the scholar's exam, so don't worry about passing it, it's very important, of course, they all hope that they can participate in it as soon as possible.

It's just that the two of them are thin-skinned, so I'm embarrassed to say it.

Uncle Liu nodded with a smile: "Of course it's no problem. If you want me to say, why not go with the whole family and go to Fuzhou to open your eyes. Fuzhou is much more prosperous than our Chengxian County."

"At that time, I will drive two carriages by myself and set off with the servants. You don't have to worry about safety on the road, and you can go together when you come back."

Both Jiang and Hu's mothers were moved, and when they saw a few more children, they all looked forward to it.

Jiang Hu calmed down and asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know when we will leave this year? Let's get our home settled as soon as possible."

There are so many chickens, ducks, geese and pigs in the house. In two months, corn and sorghum will be harvested, so we have to make arrangements in advance.

Fortunately, almost all the work in the fields this year is done by hiring people, so it shouldn't be a problem to hire people in advance.

Uncle Liu calculated the time: "It should be within half a month, so you can rest assured to play, I can't toss about this old bone, just leave it to me at home."

It would be even better if Mr. Liu was in charge. Qi Xi and Aunt Yang would definitely stay when Uncle Liu was at home. They both knew the work in the fields very well, so you could rest assured.

Then simply discuss what to prepare.

Uncle Liu leaned on the rocking chair and fanned the cattail fan in his hand: "Well, since everyone is going, I'll ask Ze'er's mother to find someone first, go to Fuzhou as soon as possible, and rent a small yard near the examination room."

"Also, during the exam, students have to eat, drink and live in the exam room for nine days and cannot go out. See what you can bring to eat. It is the kind of food that is convenient for inspection and cannot be hidden to cheat."

"By the way, we need to prepare charcoal, and the food must be quick and convenient. They are in the examination room, and they need to make food by themselves..."

I don't know, but I was shocked when I said it, so much attention was paid, not only the food, but also the clothes that came with it had to be carefully checked.

Not only do they have to bring their own food and cook for themselves, each examinee is in a small room of his own, which has a seat, a bed, and a keg bucket, and even the kung fu has to be solved in it.

No one is allowed to leave the examination room until the end of the examination.

I didn't expect it to be so hard. Hearing Uncle Liu's words, Erniang Jiang and Hu wanted to go with her even more.

They are all twelve or thirteen-year-old children. If there is no adult to accompany them, they probably don't even know what food to prepare.

Of course, the children in my family are not that bad in terms of self-care, but I can't help worrying.

According to Uncle Liu, this year's hospital exam should be in mid-August, and if there are no accidents, you can start in early July, so as to avoid any accidents on the road that delay the exam time.

There are still about ten days left, and Erniang can also think about it, what can be kept for ten days without spoiling, and it can also fill the stomach and be convenient to eat.

While the three adults were still chatting, the children were driven to bed. It was getting late, so go to bed early, and they had to get up early to go to school tomorrow morning.

In addition to preparing food, I also need to make a few more changes of clothes. This trip will take nearly three months, and when I come back, it should be autumn to cool down.

Fortunately, they will live in Fuzhou for a period of time, and then they can make two thicker clothes.

This time I went to Fuzhou, the whole family was naturally dispatched, even Xiaoxue had to ask for leave from the embroidery workshop, and when she came back from Fuzhou, she would go to the embroidery workshop to continue her studies.

Even in the past few days, she has to work with her mother to make some new clothes that fit her brothers and sisters first.

Last year's summer clothes can no longer be worn at all, Jiang Wei and Wei Ziang are all wearing Liu Ze and Jiang Yu's last year's clothes.

It has only been worn for a year, and the clothes are all made of cotton, and there is no damage.

Even Xiaomi, there are second sisters in the house who have changed into clothes that are too small.

People in the village often said that the children of Jiang's family seemed to be a little older than their actual age, taller than many children of the same age in the village.

Even Xiaocao, who is almost nine years old, is more than a year older than Xiaomi, and now they are about the same height.

It has to be said that Jiang guy eats well, not only does the child grow well, he even grows taller, his body is better, and his face is even more beautiful.

Who would have thought that the skinny and hungry family back then had sunken cheeks, protruding eyes, and foreheads that seemed to protrude, and they were not at all attractive.

But now, all of them are heroic, fair-skinned and beautiful.

Xiaomi stretched his waist, and told Xiaocao that he couldn't hunt with her for a few days. When he learned that Jiang Yu was going to take the college entrance examination, the whole family was going to accompany him. Xiaocao expressed his envy.

After everyone discussed it last night, Xiaomi didn't ask about the situation in detail, and led Xiaocao to hunt today as usual.

Xiaocao has made rapid progress, her strength is much stronger than before, her archery posture has become more standard, and her center of gravity is lowered and steady.

It's just that the accuracy needs to be practiced again. I almost hunted a rabbit two days ago, but it just floated past the rabbit's back.

Although there was blood, it was just the kind of scratched skin. The rabbit managed to escape, leaving only a little blood on the arrow.

It was also this spot of blood that gave Xiaocao endless motivation, saying that when Xiaomi came back, he must catch a prey by himself!
Sure enough, that night, Jiang Yu and Liu Ze brought back the news that the master told them about the hospital examination, and ten days later, on July [-]st, they set off for Fuzhou on time.

As for the candidates, the students should first sign up according to their own learning situation, and the master will make a test for the test. If they pass, the master will recommend them and the county magistrate will send someone to escort them.

As for the rest, if you want to take the hospital examination, you can only find a way to do it yourself.

This afternoon, the master has already passed the assessment, Jiang Yu and Liu Ze passed the test successfully, and just wait until then to set off with the yamen servants.

The advantage of being escorted by a yamen servant is that you don't have to worry about safety issues, but you still have to be responsible for all expenses on the way.

Therefore, under such circumstances, some families who are not rich enough will not easily take the college examination before they are sure.

Now, it's just a matter of getting ready to go.
