The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Mrs. Liao looked at the account book, and heard the servant girl report that Miss Six had arrived, so she hurriedly ordered the maidservant to bring the food and drinks prepared for her daughter quickly.

"Rong'er, why didn't you sleep more today?"

Seeing her daughter, Liao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She touched her daughter's little face, and asked with some distress: "After I left yesterday, did you sneak up to read again? Look, your eyes are turning blue!"

Seeing the genuine love on his mother's face, Tu Huirong felt that the next plan might come true.

Before Sheng Yuan said that when looking at a problem, one must focus on the key points, and when solving a problem, one must also focus on the key points.

But after tossing and turning overnight, she realized.

The point is not elusive. Although it is invisible and intangible, it depends on reality and existence.

What she is facing now is to drop out of school and return home ordered by her grandfather.

The focus of this is naturally to solve this problem.

Sheng Yuan said that this person needs to learn to make himself happy.

As for her, she naturally didn't want to leave the academy, or rather, as long as she wasn't confined in the mansion.

So the focus of what she is dealing with now is to find a way to stay in the academy to study.

But, can studying in the academy really make her happy?
Tu Huirong thought for a while, then shook his head silently.

No, no, no, what she wants, on the surface, is to study, but in fact, she just wants to have clean ears, so that the sisters in the mansion can't laugh at her, and she wants those in the mansion to feel pity or helplessness or All the smiling eyes disappeared.

So where is the key to solving this problem?
This question puzzled her for a long time.

While her thoughts were chaotic, she was at a loss like a trapped animal, and couldn't help sighing: "It would be great if student Sheng Yuan was here."

Thinking of Sheng Yuan, a white, plump and red girl with smiling and confident eyes always appeared in her mind, and the words that girl once said to Xia Shuangjun echoed in her ears involuntarily:

"Don't be too persistent when thinking about problems. If you can't figure it out, think about it in reverse; if you can't find a solution, first find a way to go around it, and then slowly figure it out. There will always be a solution."

This joke was remembered by her at some point, and she kept repeating it in her ears until she had a flash of inspiration.

Tu Huirong discovered that she could not change the opinions of others, but she could change herself.

Hiding in the academy to study is the most comfortable way she can get.

But what can I do to get her grandparents to promise her not to drop out of school? !
The previous question had an answer, and the next question came up again.

It took her less than half an hour to sort out the connections in the Tu mansion, and then she found that the only ones who could really help her were her brother and her mother.

But her brother is only 12 years old and has not yet performed the coronation ceremony. In the eyes of adults, he is still a child, and he is soft-spoken and unable to help.

Her mother could talk to her father, but her mother was always virtuous and abiding by the rules. If she wanted to persuade her to help her, she really had to grasp the key points that student Sheng Yuan said.

Concerned about it, Tu Huirong thought about it, and acted like a baby and asked her mother to take a walk with her in the small courtyard.

"You girl, do you have something to say?"

Among the stone paths in the small garden, Mrs. Liao smiled and asked her daughter who was hesitant to speak several times: "You don't want to drop out of school?"

When Tu Huirong heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "How do you know what I want to say?"

"The wise girl Mo Ruomu, you crawled out of my intestines, how can I not know you?"

Liao smiled and patted her hand: "This matter needs a long-term plan... But there is no rush, how old are you now? Even if we leave Jiujiang Academy temporarily, we can still go to Ning's house after a while when the weather calms down. Study at Luming Academy."

"Luming Academy?" Tu Huirong didn't have this confidence, "My grandparents were quite critical of my previous affairs in Jiujiang Academy. If I really quit school, I'm afraid they would just let me stay in the house."

Mrs. Liao smiled, looked around the branches among the flowers, but spoke in a much lower voice: "A while ago, I heard a few words from your father, and after contemplating them together for a long time, I finally found out some news...your grandfather Maybe you want to send a granddaughter to study at Ning's Luming Academy...don't tell anyone about this."

Tu Huirong heard this, but his complexion was not very good: "Among the people of the right age, the five sisters and seven sisters are all similar to me, and my grandfather would not choose me."

"Why not?" Liao disapproved, "Wu Niang is introverted, not good at speech and clumsy in hands and feet; Qiniang is competitive and unstable, who can compare to my Ronger? Your grandfather once said, if you are a son, You must be a good seedling for studying, even if the eleven sons of the Tu family get together, there may not be anyone who is more talented than you!"

Mentioning this, Liao was both happy and depressed: "Speaking of which, if Fan Yun gives half of your talent to your brother, maybe I can still be an imperial edict in my life."

After saying this, she felt that something was wrong again, afraid that her daughter would be spoiled, she smiled and comforted her and said: "But it's okay, if my son can have a royal seal in the future, it will be considered as comforting my regret."

Hearing this, Tu Huirong felt a little sad.

Her father married four wives in total. After the original wife reconciled with him, he married three more times. If the original wife was not counted, her mother could be considered the third wife of the Tu family.

The previous three wives gave birth to five sons and one daughter to her father, because they formed their own faction, and they had a sense of face with her mother; as for her father, he was appointed by the two Madam Yuan, but he disappeared with her mother. movement.

One is that her father's official position is not high, and after two requests for conferment, another request for conferment is likely to be shelved.

Secondly, it was also her father's own thoughts.

Her father had a deep affection for Mrs. Yuan who made him reconcile with his first wife, and he doted on Mrs. Yuan's children on weekdays, for fear that anyone would treat them badly.

Mrs. Xiao Yuan is Mrs. Yuan's concubine sister, and her father is still very wary of her. Even the three sons she gave birth to together are not as important as Mrs. Yuan's children. He is afraid that Mrs. Yuan will treat her beloved son and daughter badly. .You know, Mrs. Xiao Yuan is his aunt who loves his son and daughter!

Therefore, if the mother wants to be the emperor, the only one she can count on is her brother.

and many more!

Tu Huirong remembered what Mr. He said several times before... If a woman can take the imperial examination, wouldn't she also be able to win the imperial order for her mother? !

Thinking of this, her heart started beating fast.

Tu Huirong came here to ask for help, but now that he has hope, he naturally wants to tell his mother.

When Liao heard her whisper, she was so shocked that the handkerchief in her hand fell off.

"This, this... How is this possible!" Her face was filled with surprise, hesitation, and timidity.

"Mr. He, the inspector of the academy, personally said it, and many other students have heard of it, such as my classmate Sheng Yuan. She comes from the Duke Sheng's mansion. Her father is the Prince's cousin. The news must not be faked!"

Liao didn't expect their mother and daughter to have such an encounter, she was so happy that she wanted to cry, she put her palms together and kept thanking God.

After a long time, she supported her little daughter's shoulders again, and said excitedly, "Rong Er, don't worry, Mother will definitely find a way to let you enter Luming Academy!"
