Chapter 28
The imperial examination is a road to honor the ancestors.

But too many people are disadvantaged in the imperial examination. Although many people envy them, more people know that the imperial examination does not necessarily lead to success.

How many scholars can a county get each year?
There are even fewer Juren at the top.

As for Jinshi?Every three years, there are only more than 100 people, distributed to the whole country, how many people are there in a state?
Therefore, Mrs. Xie understood that the Zhou family seemed beautiful, and it was good for the old scholar to praise Zhou Tingyu, but the old scholar himself was only a scholar, so what could he see?
Zhou Tingyu was lucky, and when he came back from the examination for a scholar, it was only [-] acres of scholar's land, and it was just that he didn't have to pay taxes, and it wasn't bestowed by the court.

Further up, every time you have to go to the state to take the imperial examination, the cost is not ordinary.

Simply relying on [-] acres of scholar fields cannot afford to support them.

Although she doesn't know the Zhou family very well, it was just the most authentic farmer before, how much money can they have?
The more you expect now, the more you will be disappointed later.

So, just in case, Second Aunt Xie also felt that there was no need for her to be too hot with her sister-in-law.

Anyway, when my sister-in-law is at home, she can take advantage of it as well.

When my sister-in-law gets married, I don't know whether to take advantage of it or come back to play the autumn breeze.

So, people's ideas are different.

A difference of thought may lead to huge differences.

As soon as the second sister-in-law Xie thought of it, she subconsciously moved away from Xie Daoyun.

Sister-in-law Xie was a little strange, wondering what happened to this younger brother and sister?
Does this mean we have a smell?
Who is different from whom?
Xie Daoyun keenly felt the change of the second sister-in-law, although she didn't know why, and she didn't know that the second sister-in-law Xie had thought so much in just such a short time.

If Xie Daoyun knew about Mrs. Xie's worries, she didn't know whether to praise Mrs. Xie's foresight, or whether she felt that she had poor eyesight and that she could not earn enough to support Zhou Tingyu's imperial examination fees.

Or, do you think that Zhou Tingyu's ability is not enough, and the scholar has reached the top?

Although she didn't know what Xie Ersao was thinking, but Xie Ersao's behavior clearly wanted to alienate herself.

Xie Daoyun still felt this very clearly.

I was a little baffled in my heart, and I reflected that I had done nothing wrong.

The relationship between people is just like this.

Thanks to sister-in-law for taking care of her, she naturally became closer to sister-in-law.

As for nephews and nieces, they are all the same to her, but they are more important than boys.

She didn't want to hear the words that her natal family was her reliance.

As a girl, she prefers her niece.

Coupled with the relationship with his sister-in-law, Xie Daoyun naturally prefers his niece.

Xie Daoyun turned her head and took a deep look at Mrs. Xie.

Second sister-in-law Xie was taken aback, wondering if what she did just now was too obvious?
But after thinking about it: "That's fine, my sister-in-law already knows what I think, so it will be easier to alienate me in the future. As for the benefits, anyway, the family is not separated, and there are still what should be."

Thinking about it this way, Second Aunt Xie felt that there was nothing wrong with her, so she calmed down.

As for who the sister-in-law is friends with, she doesn't care.

If you can't eat an extra piece of pastry, what can you have?
Well, I was wrong, can I really have an extra piece of crisp?

Second Sister Xie watched Xie Daoyun take out another piece of pastry and gave it to Sister Xie, feeling a little appreciative in her heart.

They are all sisters-in-law, do you want to be so obvious?
Although the eldest sister-in-law didn't want it at first, but was later divided into two halves by Xie Daoyun, one half for each person, but the second sister-in-law Xie still has some taste.

Forget it, get these now, and pay more in the future.

So, my sister-in-law is still shrewd. Could it be said that the previous ten years of foolish life accumulated shrewdness, and it was released once?

Second Sister-in-law Xie slandered in her heart, and followed the sister-in-law and sister-in-law in front to the big banyan tree.

When they arrived, Uncle Shuigen was already waiting here with the ox cart.

Xie Daoyun thought that she might use Uncle Shuigen's oxcart frequently in the future, even though Uncle Shuigen would still run if given money, this is his livelihood.

But with a good relationship, it will be more comfortable to travel, right?

At that moment, Xie Daoyun took two pieces of pear cake: "Uncle Shuigen, I bought some pear cake, have you eaten yet? Here, these two pieces of pear cake are my tribute to your old age."

Uncle Shuigen's family life is good, but he didn't eat this snack.

This thing, he knew, was very expensive.

Uncle Shuigen was still thinking that he could earn more and keep the money for his grandson to study in the future.

The younger generation of the Zhou family in Huluao next door went to study, and the old scholar kept praising him, saying that he would definitely be able to take the imperial examination in the future.

Uncle Shui Gen also has ambitions. If the grandson of the family has this wisdom root and comes back from the Jinshi examination in the future, it will be smoke from the ancestral grave.

He is not willing to eat this snack, how much money is he afraid for this piece?

Uncle Shuigen was about to refuse, but he was too embarrassed to take other people's food.

Who is not short of money?

This thing is old and expensive.

But before he could speak, Xie Daoyun stuffed the pear cake into his hand, and Uncle Shui Gen stretched out his hand to refuse, then took it back.

"That's fine, then I will thank you."

He ate one piece, and left another piece: "Let's leave this piece for my grandson, he has never eaten this snack before. Well, I'll just eat half a piece, and give the half piece to my son and daughter-in-law. "

"No thanks, at your age, you are also older than my father. They are all from the same clan. I respect my elders."

Xie Daoyun looked a little sad. Although he was not from his own family, he was still a relative.

Uncle Shuigen's family is doing well, at least in Xiejia Village.

That's it, I can't bear to eat that pastry.

I only ate half of it, and I have to take the rest back for my family to taste.

From the way it looked, it was supposed to be for his grandson.

It is conceivable what kind of life the other families are living.

After Xie Daoyun woke up, she chatted with her sister-in-law these days and got some information.

Two years ago, there was a drought here, and the harvest in the field was halved, which made every family poor.

The novel starts from the perspective of the heroine, that is, this year, so she naturally doesn't know anything about it.

Besides, the novel only has that few words, and there are not many situations that can be shown.

In the real world, the situation she has to consider is far more complicated than a novel.

"Hey, so, what kind of prior knowledge, what kind of plot development, are actually not safe."

Xie Daoyun sighed here, and Uncle Shuigen also cleaned up and took some fodder for the cattle.

It also takes a lot of effort to pull the cart. If it is not served well, it will lose weight and its strength will also decrease, which will also affect the livelihood of pulling the cart.

If the cow is sick and dies, it will be even more troublesome.

The livelihood of the whole family depends on it.

Xie Daoyun stared at the cow, Mrs. Xie thought that Xie Daoyun was feeling sorry for the cow, but she didn't know that Xie Daoyun was actually thinking: "Hey, in this ancient society, if you want to eat beef, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."
