Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

It's strange to say that after being tortured by Mr. Shao for a month, Su Mu's whole body was completely numb. He was not in the mood to think about tomorrow's exam, and naturally he couldn't talk about any nervousness.

I have to admit that a whole set of methods have been formed since ancient times to adjust the candidates' psychology before the exam, and some methods are still very useful.

As usual, the entrance time for the college examination is set at riveting time, so you need to rush there early in the morning.

Besides Su Mu in the Su family, Su Ruisheng also had to take the exam.

Before the exam, there was a dignified atmosphere in the Su residence.Everyone walked lightly and spoke very softly, for fear of disturbing Master Su Ruisheng who was studying in the study.

It is already the beginning of May in the lunar calendar, June in the post-world, and the weather is very hot.

Cicada yelled, sour plum soup and ice cubes were sent over non-stop. These things are nothing serious in the eyes of later generations, but if the ancients wanted to enjoy them, they would need to spend a lot of money.From this, it can also be seen how much the Su family attaches importance to him.

Su Ruisheng is a leader among the younger generation of the Su family, and he has passed both the county and government examinations once. He has also gained some fame after studying abroad these years.The Su family felt that Master Ruisheng would definitely win this time. If there were no accidents, besides Master Su San, another new talent would appear in the Su family.

As for Su Mu, no one cared.

No matter how famous Su Mu is among Baoding scholars these days, it seems that he has nothing to do with the Su family.

Seeing that the Su family favored one another, Xiaodie felt aggrieved, and couldn't help but sneer: "They're all young masters of the Su family, and they all have to take the entrance examination, and if they pass, they're all scholars, so there's a difference between a scholar student and a scholar student. "

It was getting dark, but it was still hot.After eating in the evening, Su Mu took a shower and went to bed early, but he had just finished two homework assignments and was still a little excited, so he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

After rolling on the mat for a long time, I felt that my body was getting hotter and hotter. After a while, the rush mat was covered with a layer of sweat.

Seeing that Su Mu was very hot, Xiaodie hurriedly took off her shoes, got into the mosquito net with a fan, and fanned Su Mu carefully.

Su Mu: "Although scholars are all the same, there are many poor and sour scholars in this world. The fame of a scholar is just the qualification to not kneel before officials and exempt from corvee and tax, but it does not guarantee that you will be rich and prosperous. Maybe, in the eyes of others, even if I, Su Mu, have achieved the fame of a scholar, I'm afraid I'm just a gentleman, how can I compare to Su Ruisheng, a noble young master."

Xiaodie said bitterly: "Su Ruisheng is the young master of the third house, and you are still the eldest son of the first house. Why?"

"Young master, son of a prince, you can't use it indiscriminately." Su Mu said lightly: "The Su family can't trouble me. It's a high incense. Once I get the fame of a scholar, I will move to Beijing and never come back. Xiaodie, you I am willing to leave Baoding."

Su Mu had already figured it out that if the college examination goes well and he is selected as a scholar, he will be eligible to take the higher-level imperial examination.

It is also his luck, this year is the year of the competition, that is to say.After the hospital examination, there will be the rural examination in Beizhili in August.

According to the examination system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, civil servant examinations at the provincial level were held every three years, starting in the year of Zi, Mao, Wu, and You, which was called Zhengke.When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be an additional test, which is called Enke.

This year happens to be Dingmao, if you miss it, you have to wait for two years.

It's been so hard in just one hospital exam, Su Mu doesn't think he can suffer like this for another two years.Moreover, no one can predict in advance what will happen in two years.

Therefore, this exam must be passed.

When you are selected as a scholar, you will go to Beijing to study and prepare for the exam.Only by winning the Juren can one be qualified to be an official.

From here to Beijing, it will take about ten days on the road. If you wait until July to go north, it will seem a bit hasty, so it is better to go earlier.

Today's Su Mu can be regarded as having a small fortune. Boss Lin still has a yard in Beijing, and he promised to let Su Mu live.

Living in the capital is also easy.

The key is that Su Mu is full of curiosity about Beijing, the largest city in this time and space, that is the real vast world!

Su Mu no longer has any nostalgia for Baoding.

"Go to Beijing, what are you going to do in Beijing?" Xiaodie's eyes widened, and the fan in her hand stopped.

"Go and wait for the township examination." Su Mu replied casually.

Xiaodie: "Didn't the young master tell Xiaodie a few days ago that you are not sure about tomorrow's exam? If you can't pass, what are you going to do in Beijing?

The fan stopped, and the mosquito net suddenly became hot. Su Mu pointed to the fan in Xiaodie's hand, and said, "I don't think it should be difficult this time. I'm sure. You don't have to worry too much, even if you don't win, I will go to Beijing."

"What are you going to do if you don't win?" Xiaodie said angrily, "There are so many places in Beijing, and you haven't entered the competition now, young master. Aren't you going there just to starve?"

"What are you worried about?" Su Mu said, "Boss Lin, you know."

"I know, what's wrong?"

Su Mu: "Mr. Lin from the Lin Family Bookstore has a yard in Beijing, and he promised to let us live there for free. As for the food, don't worry about it. With him taking care of it, it's not a big problem."

"Boss Lin didn't do good deeds, why would he let you live here for nothing?" Xiaodie expressed disbelief.

"Didn't I write a book called Journey to the West?"

"I know, so what's the matter?"

"Isn't that book published in the Lin family bookstore? Mr. Lin has made a lot of money from this book, so he should be pleased. Besides, I should have some royalties from him, because the book hasn't been finished yet. I didn't ask him for it." Su Mu felt that it was time to talk to Xiaodie about the manuscript fee, so as to save the little girl from worrying about her future life.

Xiaodie knew that Su Mu was writing this book, and when she heard that the manuscript fee was required, she suddenly became happy: "Ah, there is money to take, how much, how much?" Eyes are bright.

Su Mu proudly raised two fingers.

"Two or two."

"No, guess again."

"twenty……"

Su Mu shook his head.

Xiaodie trembled and stuttered: "Could it be two hundred, my God!"

Su Mu was discouraged: "Are you looking down on me like that? It's only two hundred."

Anyway, Xiaodie suddenly became excited, interrupted Su Mu, and murmured: "200 taels, 200 taels, how can I spend it all? Okay, let's go to Beijing, even if we don't have money, let's go. This place, I’m tired of being bored, looking at the faces of those people all day long, I’m so depressed!”

After finishing speaking, he fanned himself excitedly.

"It's cold, the wind is too strong!" Su Mu shouted deliberately: "It's so cold that I'm sweating profusely."

Xiaodie let out a giggle and fell on Su Mu's chest.
