Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

To apply for the exam, you must have a natural guarantor. Five people can choose to sign up for each other's classmates. Zhou Xiucai will arrange it, which is undoubtedly both trouble-free and safe.

Regarding Zhou Xiucai's decision to leave the county test in February, Gu Wenxuan went home and talked to Zhou Banxia, ​​and they unanimously decided not to tell his family first.

There is one person.

Zhou Yujiang.

According to Zhou Xiucai, he was enlightened at the age of six. Now he is fourteen this year, Dajiang can also try it out this year.

Zhou Banxia is extremely satisfied with this younger brother.

Before, I was worried that he was too sensible and too thoughtful, and he was trapped in Qinghe Village, so I still tended to send him to Huang Xiucai to study after the Lantern Festival.

After all, there is a scholar named Sixth Grandpa. I have to consider whether it will bring more pressure to him and whether it will always remind him how pathetic it is to be the son and grandson of Zhou Daniu.

If people want to be trapped, they can only change the environment and come into contact with more different people and things. Sooner or later, he will understand that Zhou Daniu is a fool, and he is the unique Zhou Yujiang.

As a result, in just three or two months, her eldest brother seemed to have been reborn. He was stable and no longer timid. He was obviously confident and relaxed. The change was not ordinary.

Of course, she didn't know that there were more reasons why she was still there, including her parents, eldest sister and younger brother. Just like the eldest sister said, she suddenly had a backbone.

Go try it.

It's nothing more than the insurance premium of five taels of silver, and the remaining expenses are only two or three hundred cents, which are not worth mentioning. It's time for my helper to go to the examination shed to gain experience.

Dajiang was amused by his third sister's arrogant tone, and when his third brother-in-law asked him if he was a man, he wanted to give it a try, so there was no need to hesitate.

go with.

After getting the answer, Dajiang was asked to keep quiet for now and wait for her parents to make arrangements.

Leaving the two of them reading, Zhou Banxia personally took his things and went to Zhou Xiucai's house.

Both Gu Wenxuan and she heard that Zhou Xiucai felt that he was a grandfather and wanted to pay for Da Jiang's exam fees, but there was no reason for this.

After having a good talk with Zhou Xiucai about which aspect Dajiang would focus on in his next review, she secretly stuffed a purse into her aunt Xiaobai's pocket before leaving.

She is the daughter-in-law of Zhou Xiucai. In terms of descending order, the Li family is the oldest, and the Xiaobai family is the youngest. Therefore, Zhou Banxia, ​​the four siblings, call her aunt.

Dabai was Zhou Xiucai's wife, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also nieces and nephews. Since Zhou Xiucai only had an only son, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very good.

It can be said that Xiaobai is more eloquent than her husband at home, and is a good person. She is also very protective of Li, the sister-in-law who adopted the name of the eighth master of the eldest family.

Seeing Zhou Banxia winking and telling her not to let her grandpa see her, Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh, not being polite to her niece who seemed so cute and well-organized.

Even if she didn't accept the insurance premium from her father-in-law today, the child would still receive generous gifts in other names tomorrow.

Uninformed people in the village always thought that she did not need to adopt a child into the name of the child's uncle, so she was willing to take more care of the child's uncle's family.

Where are you?

It's hard to say who will take care of whom, even Daya's child is extremely polite, but she scolds her children when they need to be scolded, without thinking that she is an outsider.

Mrs. Dabai was not surprised that her daughter-in-law came back with a purse in her hand. She knew better than her daughter-in-law what her grandniece cared about most. Why else would the child's eldest grandfather always feel that the child is extremely filial? This is because he is worried that her aunt will be worried if her eldest grandfather provides supplements.

Apart from not wanting to take advantage of this, Zhou Banxia also had this idea.

Her grandpa is often a bit stupid in his studies. It is obvious that his family's wealth is saved by his old wife and daughter-in-law, and he is often poor and generous.

After all, it benefits the people in the village. There are some supercilious people, but there are also many people who are grateful. But every year, they just give students the money to pay for the benefactor's guarantee.

It costs five taels of silver per person. He doesn't make much money in a year, and unlike other scholars who help others write complaints, the top dollar is less than twenty taels.

The sixth day of the new year.

Zhou Xiucai, who was considered poor and generous by Zhou Banxia, ​​helped Gu Wenxuan arrange two insurance policies. Naturally, Dajiang's two insurance policies were also arranged at the same time.

The two of them each have an insurance policy guaranteed by the county students, and a mutual insurance policy for five people who take the exam together. If one cheats, the five people will sit together.

The seventh day of the new year.

Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang took their insurance policies and went to the county government office to register with their classmates who were taking this year's county examination, filling in their names, place of origin, age, and resumes of three generations.

These are all procedures that must be followed in the scientific examination, in order to prevent cheating such as unclear wealth or imposters, and to maintain the fairness of the scientific examination.

Previously, Zhou Banxia had used both soft and hard tactics to adopt her father out. The reason was that Zhou Daniu's team was unreliable and her two younger brothers would not be able to take the scientific examinations one day.

After the registration was completed, the two and their classmates returned to school to continue classes. Two days later, Zhou Banxia secretly rented a small courtyard near the county school through shopkeeper Wang.

It would be impossible if we didn’t rent it sooner.

The county examination takes three days in total, not three consecutive days. There is a day between each day of the examination, which means that in total, you will have to stay in the county for at least six days.

Moreover, before dawn on the first day of the exam, candidates have to line up in front of the exam booth set up in the square near the county school. Most of them rent houses in advance.

Even if you can't rent a house, someone will book a room in the inn early, and some people will even say hello to relatives who want to stay with them before the year.

Rather than staying with relatives or staying at an inn, Zhou Banxia, ​​who has two candidates at home, prefers to rent a house. Peace is one thing, but more about freedom.

At the same time, she also brought back letters from Mrs. Gao, Shopkeeper Hu and others from the county seat, as well as the inevitable gift of another wooden box after another.

Among them are the materials that Shopkeeper Hu brought through the Zhao family. Due to transportation, the wooden boxes are also framed with wooden strips. You can imagine how much they are piled up.

She originally went to see the yard under the pretense of going to Shopkeeper Wang to see whether there was a reply or not. Mrs. Liu guessed that there was a reply, but she didn't expect to bring back a large cart of things.

What I didn't even expect was, what, her Liulang applied for the February county examination?

Ms. Liu was startled for a moment, "Quick, quick, quick, go and call your father back. He is at your great-grandfather's house. Oh, by the way, let your Uncle Cai call him. Don't go."

That's great, my second brother is going to take the scholar exam! Little Baoya was also stunned for a moment, then nodded her head in understanding, spread her short legs and ran away.

"Slow down, be careful about knocking." Zhou Banxia shouted, and her sister-in-law disappeared, so she had to continue to coax her mother-in-law, who was holding two fists and spinning around.

Looking at her excited and nervous look, this was also the reason why she said she would wait a few days and inform her family after everything was done. It was so unexpected and surprising, wasn't it?
