"Mom, Qiao Mom doesn't understand."

Qiao Niang pulled the corner of Du's clothes in a daze.

In fact, Du couldn't understand it. The answer between the two grandparents and grandchildren was also impossible. They said that they were taboo things, and they could only quote the classics and understand them separately. It was also a way for Xiao Song to test Xiao Ye.

If Xiao Ye answered Xiao Song's question in vernacular, no matter how correct the answer was and how clear the truth was, he would be inferior. Not only would he not receive Xiao Song's support, but the Du family and his daughter would not escape the misfortune.

“Haha~~”

Xiao Song laughed and asked, "How sure is the one with the sage?"

Xiao Ye bowed and said, "The literary list is as deep as the sea, and Yangzhou is full of talents. How dare you speak lightly? It's just to do your best and leave your will."

"What a good person to do his best and leave his destiny!"

Xiao Song nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's rare that you are not arrogant or discouraged. Come on, take my notes!"

"yes!"

A maid entered the study and moved a box out.

Xiao Song opened the box himself, looked at the booklets affectionately, and sighed: "These are all the imperial examination questions that I have compiled for decades. From the Tongsheng to the Palace Examination, there is almost no gap. Take it back and take it, maybe it may be of some help."

These books are difficult to buy even if you have money. In the imperial examination families in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they are family heirlooms, to ensure that the family continues to emerge with juren and even Jinshi. The Jiangnan clans in the Ming and Qing dynasties have lasted for hundreds of years, and are inseparable from the experience of imperial examinations accumulated over generations. This is clearly a timely help!

It can be seen from this that Xiao Song always had the ambition to revive his family.

In history, there have been countless ups and downs in the big family. I am not afraid of being demoted, but I am afraid of losing my ambition!

Although Xiao Ye studied the imperial examinations and read all the outstanding imperial examination articles in the Ming and Qing dynasties for five hundred years, and knew the routines in it, here is the unusual Tang Dynasty, which may not be completely in line with the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties. If you understand more, you can at least guess the tendency of the question and the rules of the examiner's choice of articles.

"Thank you for your kind gift!"

Xiao Ye gave a deep gift.

"Come on, take out another ten taels of silver!"

Xiao Song turned around and shouted.

The maid went back to the house again, took a tray, and put two ingots of silver on it, both of which were five taels of official silver.

Xiao Song said: "The clan has a difficult time, and the support for you can only be here. Take it back and buy two new clothes, don't break the face of my Xiao family."

"I'm so kind of accepting it!"

Xiao Ye took two ingots of silver and handed it to Du Shi and said, "The family's money will be kept by my aunt."

"this……"

Du was a little hesitant.

Xiao Song nodded secretly. Xiao Ye handed over the money to Du, which was not only a manifestation of filial piety, but also an indirect protection of Du, highlighting Du's status at home.

This grandson!

Xiao Ye was kind and loyal, which made him feel relieved and couldn't help but smile: "Take it, Ye'er is going to prepare for the imperial examination, but he can't be satisfied. Please ask you at home. There are ten days left to be the spring examination. You can go back early to prepare, don't miss the registration."

"yes!"

Du took the money and put it into his waist purse.

"Uncle, nephew, will say goodbye!"

Xiao Ye picked up the box and bowed deeply. Du and Qiao Niang also bowed to each other. The three of them turned around and left.

After worshiping the ancestral hall, most of the tribesmen picked up farm tools and went down to the fields. The spring farm was not enough to be cultivated. There were only some women and children in the village, pointing at the three of them and talking.

Du felt very uncomfortable, and quickened his pace. While walking, he said, "Ye'er, it's just past the noon. I still have time to pull two pieces of satin to make a new dress for you. Alas, our family has suffered for seven years, and we don't even have a decent dress."

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Auntie said this and saw the matter. My nephew knew what was going on at home. Speaking of which, my uncle and aunt treated my nephew as his own. My nephew always kept in mind. I don't rush to buy clothes for my nephew for this ten taels of silver. My aunt should keep it for household use."

"How did this happen? This was given to you by the clan master."

Du said hurriedly.

Xiao Ye dusted off the washed linen robe, shook his head and said, "In Jiangdu County, there are countless wealthy families, and no one is not rich in clothes or food, wearing gold and silver. Even if my nephew pulls two pairs of satin and cuts new clothes, he is not as good as those rich men in dressing. It is better to take the exam with a plain dress. I heard that Zhang Jianzhi is a pure stream and is very despised towards wealthy and wealthy families. His nephew's cold clothes may be contrary to the old man's appetite."

"oh?"

Du's eyes were slightly brighter, and she became more and more unable to see through this nephew.

Qiao Niang shouted: "Brother saved money to buy plum blossom cake for Qiao Niang!"

"The plum blossom cake of ten taels of silver cannot be enough to hold you!"

Du was so amused and crying. Xianxianyu pointed at Qiao Niang's forehead and said, "I will collect the money for you first. If I win, there are many ways to spend money."

While talking, the three of them came to the entrance of the village. Xiao Ye pushed up a wheelbarrow and smiled and said, "Auntie, Qiaoniang, come on."

"this……"

Du was a little hesitant. It was about ten miles from Jiangdu County to Xiaojiazhuang. She and Qiaoniang were pushed all the way by Xiao Ye, but now it is different. Xiao Ye saved her and Qiaoniang and wanted to prepare for the imperial examination again. How could she dare to be pushed back to the county town?

Xiao Ye said: "Auntie, don't be too old. No matter what, you can't write two characters Xiao in one stroke. Auntie is always an elder."

"mother!"

Qiao Niang turned around looking forward to it.

"Oh well!"

Du nodded reluctantly, lifted the corner of her skirt, sat in the car, and Qiaoniang sat on the other side.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Ye shouted, pushed the cart away.

The dirt roads in the countryside were bumpy, but thanks to the original owner's work since he was a child to chop firewood and make fires and help him with his family, Xiao Yan provided him with his dad to eat and drink shortly. Although he was 16 years old, he was thin, but his body was strong.

After mastering the balance in just a few strokes, it was not difficult to push it. Then I looked at the two beautiful backs, one big and one small, and it was pleasing to the eye.

...

"Dad, the rabbit that reached the mouth ran away, you said something!"

Xiao Rang's family, the eldest son Xiao Chengzong said anxiously.

Xiao Rang said with a gloomy face: "The old man said, don't bother that little bastard before the imperial examination. Let's let him be proud for a while. I think I am a lot of talented people in Jiangdu. In which year, there are not a few thousand students in the exam, but only thirty people will be selected every three years. What kind of virtue can the bastard be able to take the high school county exam?"

Xiao Chengzong hesitated and said, "Father should not be despised. My grandfather was a clan in the court thirty years ago and served Emperor Taizong. Even if he was demoted, his vision was so vicious. Since my grandfather supported the wild man to go to the imperial examination, he was somewhat sure. If he really won the Tongsheng, he would be the first person in the clan in the future. If his father could marry the Du family's wife?"

"yes!"
