My wife is a squeamish bag

Chapter 85

"Yes, Qiuyue and the others have four siblings, Mochizuki is the third, and the fourth brother Shuxin is studying in a private school. Although Wangwangyue is only 12 years old this year, he already has a solid foundation in embroidery." Qi Yingxue replied with a smile.

"Oh, then let her embroider, I have no objection."

Well, as long as it's not Xu Qiuyue, she doesn't care.

Xu Qiuyue really wanted to find a trace of aggrievedness and resentment on An Beibei's face, but she couldn't find it, so she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

I couldn't help but snort coldly in my heart, no matter how well I hid it, I couldn't believe that she was really angry.

"You are so kind, Beibei."

Qi Yingxue glanced at An Beibei gratefully, then pulled up Xu Qiuyue who looked worried, and said, "Let's go, let's dig wild vegetables, and I'll come back early to embroider handkerchiefs with Mochizuki."

"Go, go, and don't worry about the embroidered handkerchief, that thing hurts your eyes." Qi Yun said with a smile on the side.

When the two walked out of the room, she turned her gaze to An Beibei: "Girl An, don't you really want to play with me?"

"No, no." An Beibei shook her head like a rattle, "I'll stay at home with grandma."

She doesn't want to go out with Xu Qiuyue, she has nothing to do all day looking for trouble, and she will be killed if she is not mad at her.

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't think grandma is boring."

Qi Yunshi patted her hand and said with a smile.

"Of course not, grandma, let me squeeze your shoulders again."

An Beibei volunteered, but it was a pity that Qi Yun didn't give her a chance, "No, you move the stool over and sit down, and we, grandparents and grandchildren, can have a good chat."

"Okay!"

When Qi Yunshi talked about chattering, it was really chattering, and most of the time she was talking about it, and they were talking about things that were not in the family, such as the Xu family.

When they were first exiled here, they were unfamiliar with the place, and everything started from scratch. The Xu family and the Ying family and the Qi family helped a lot.

Especially the Xu family.

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The two families are so close that the children play together.

Xu Yang is a kind-hearted person who knows that the men in his family are useless, and he will help them with heavy work such as firewood and so on.

Of course, the Qi family is not without feedback.

Xu Xinyue's younger brother, Xu Shuxin, was taught by Qi Wencai and devoted himself to teaching him. He didn't attend the private school until the beginning of this year.

Because Qi Wencai had no fame, he could not recruit disciples, nor could he recommend him for the imperial examination.

However, it has been three generations since the exile of the Xu family to Xu Shuxin's generation, so they can take part in the imperial examination, which is the only way to get rid of military status besides imperial pardon and illustrious military achievements.

Yes, in order to prevent the exiled people from abandoning themselves and creating chaos, the ruler also left them a way out, that is, they can only take the imperial examination after three generations.

If you pass the examination as a scholar, you can cancel your status as a military household.

If you pass the exam, the whole family can be exempted.

For example, the Qi family, Qi Wencai, Qi Jingyu, and Qi Mingyou were not allowed to take the imperial examination. They had to wait until Qi Mingyou's son grew up to take the imperial examination.

This road seems to be easier than military merit, but it is actually very difficult.

Not to mention that the imperial examination is originally a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops to cross, as a military household, it is destined to be more difficult than ordinary candidates.

Moreover, in the borderlands, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is easy for the local dignitaries to stop the future of a military household.

Therefore, in recent years, very few people have been able to change their military status through the imperial examination.

Even if there are, most of them rely on the local dignitaries and are willing to become a pawn.

But even so, some families of officials who were exiled still hold a glimmer of hope of returning to the family, and devote all their efforts to cultivate a scholar.

That's what the Xu family planned.
