If you want to gain the respect of others, you have to rely on your own strength.

Cheng Qing will not complain to Master Cheng Wu, let alone to Governor Yu, if she has a fame, how dare Yu San be presumptuous in front of her?

When Meng Huai sent her down the mountain, Cheng Qing also seized the opportunity to ask about the precautions for the scientific expedition.

If she wants to participate in the scientific examination, she needs to guarantee each other by five children including her in the same examination, and a student from the county needs to write a guarantee document for her...... This is easy to do, it is nothing more than to prove her age and place of origin, not the descendants of prostitutes, and not a reference for filial piety.

Cheng Qing really cared about the process of the scientific examination, she pretended to be curious and asked if anyone cheated during the scientific examination, Meng Huaijin didn't think much about it, but Cheng Qing was afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and told her a lot of things about the examination room.

Before entering the examination room, you need to search your body, but it is not the kind of stripping that allows others to check, but to check whether the examination equipment meets the regulations, to check whether there is entrainment, and to take off your clothes to check the face of the reader, which is forbidden in this dynasty.

After entering the examination room, someone patrols day and night at 12 o'clock, and once they are caught cheating, they will take it immediately!

Body-searching without stripping?

Cheng Qing was overjoyed.

Gender secrets are what she is most worried about being exposed, and she has a way to cover them up just by doing body searches.

Got useful news from Meng Huaijin, Cheng Qing was in a good mood, and returned to Yangliu Lane to wait for the academy to post the red list the next day, she read tirelessly at night, Liu was afraid that she would break her eyes, although the family was not rich, but lit a few big candles in Cheng Qing's house. After returning to Nanyi County for three months, Liu and others not only left the official daughters, but also concentrated on studying on weekdays, and Liu took his three daughters to do some embroidery work.

No, the cost of studying in the future is large, and the academy does not pay the bundles, but it has to buy pen and ink books, and the cost of each exam is also a large amount...... Cheng Qing is inquiring, Liu is also not idle, Cheng Qing has worked hard enough to study, Liu will no longer put economic pressure on Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing will not let her be used as clothing and jewelry, Liu agreed on her lips, but she has her own plans in private.

When there is no money available, I have to go to the pawnshop!

Liu felt sorry for Cheng Qing to bear too much at a young age, Cheng Qing also felt sorry for Liu and her three sisters who never put down the needle and thread, and she couldn't relax in the scientific research, and she also had to find a way to go where to make a sum of money.

In the house, Cheng Qing was practicing calligraphy by memorizing, and Liu and his three daughters were quietly doing needlework on the side.

Tonight, the eldest lady frequently made mistakes when she split the line, Cheng Qing caught a glimpse of it, stopped her pen and asked her:

"Eldest sister, you have something on your mind."

The eldest lady was embarrassed, "Xiaolang, did my sister disturb your study?" ”

"I was tired of writing and wanted to take a break, eldest sister, you have a sad face, but you are worried about me?"

Cheng Qing didn't tell a lie, and after an hour, his wrist was really tired.

The eldest lady nodded hesitantly, "Tomorrow the academy will post a red list, I'm afraid that you will be affected by the previous events." ”

The fifth uncle said that he wanted to make decisions for Xiaolang, and Governor Yu really sent someone to send a gift of apology, but there has been no movement on the second room, and the academy will be released tomorrow, and the eldest lady is still afraid that the second room will be bad.

Cheng Qing thought for a while, "Why don't you go to the academy with me tomorrow to see the list, and if you see it with your own eyes, you will feel at ease." ”

The eldest lady's eyes lit up, "Can I go?" ”

Uncle and grandmother said that it was a place to learn the words of the sage, and it was not appropriate for the female dependents to go, but Xiaolang said that she could go, who should she listen to?

"Of course you can go, with me with you, what are you afraid of? We don't have to shy away from small families, don't those daughters from high-ranking families still go out to incense, go to the lantern festival, and no one accuses them...... Eldest sister, if the brother-in-law's family is dissatisfied because of such a trivial matter in the future, then there is no need to wait for the other party to be picky, I will not agree to the family matter first. ”

The shackles of feudal etiquette and religion can't even break free from Cheng Qing now, but within her ability, Cheng Qing hopes that the Liu family and her three sisters can live happily.

Liu glared at Cheng Qing fiercely, this kid is not shy about talking at all, what is the eldest lady's future husband's family is dissatisfied, it is the eldest lady's uncle's family, if the eldest lady wants to go wrong, she still thinks that Cheng Qing is sowing discord!

Cheng Qing pretended not to see the warning in Liu's eyes.

Although she didn't deliberately provoke, she was really foreshadowing.

The family has been back to Nanyi for more than three months, and the Qi family has not moved.

Cheng Qing suspected that the other party not only didn't want to admit her family, but even her family, a relative, didn't want to admit it.

Cheng Zhiyuan's case is inconclusive, her family is like a rat that has fallen into a pit, normal people will distance themselves, Cheng Qing actually understands. But the eldest lady is the granddaughter of the Qi family, and it is not difficult to send a servant woman to visit and care. There has been no movement for three months, and Cheng Qing has no hope for the Qi family.

The eldest lady has a lot of worries, which may also have something to do with it.

The Qi family may still be waiting to see how the imperial court will convict Cheng Zhiyuan.

If Cheng Zhiyuan is innocent, the marriage contract between the eldest lady and the cousin of the Qi family can probably go on as usual...... But at that time, Cheng Qing didn't want the eldest lady to marry the Qi family, she didn't dare to say this now, and the Liu family might have to beat people when she said it, Cheng Qing decided to take a step at a time, and wait for the Qi family to express her position first!

Hearing that Cheng Qing was going to take the eldest lady to see the list, the third lady was eager to try, and Cheng Qing immediately promised to take the third sister out next time.

The three elder sisters all have good looks, it's okay to take one out, but take two Cheng Qing for fear of attracting disciples.

Liu's four children are actually just as pampered, and the eldest lady is very happy to hear that she can go to see the list, and Liu's doesn't stop her, but just asks the eldest lady to wear a hat.

In the early morning of the second day, Cheng Qing got up early, and the eldest lady was also dressed.

This time, Cheng Qing chose to take a boat.

The early morning river breeze blew the tulle of the lady's hat, and her good appearance loomed, and the lady was in a brisk mood.

Cheng Qing was happy to see her eldest sister, and she was also in a good mood.

The two of them took a boat all the way to the foot of the mountain, but they came too early, and there were many people under the notice board of the academy, all waiting for the academy to post a red list.

Everywhere Cheng Qing went, everyone avoided her, and everyone was unwilling to be with her.

The eldest lady was anxious in her eyes, and Cheng Qing comforted her in turn:

"It's okay eldest sister, no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows that she became famous in one fell swoop, I'm not in a hurry."

Ten years is too long, Cheng Qing can't wait.

But now it's the first year, and Cheng Qing can afford to wait.

After half an hour, people from the academy came down the mountain to post the list, this time there were nearly 100 people taking the entrance exam, and less than 10 people were admitted, and Cheng Qing's name was among them!

"Xiaolang, you have passed the test!"

The big lady's tears swirled in her eyes, which was a sign of joy.

Father Cheng Zhiyuan died suddenly, the pillars of the family fell, and everything since then has developed for the worse, Cheng Qing was admitted to the academy, which is still the first happy event in the family!

Cheng Qing is also happy, everything is difficult at the beginning, it took more than three months, and she can be regarded as taking the first step in the scientific expedition.
