Not to mention, this kind of thing sounds like it's really exciting.

Especially for Xiao Ling'er, who lived in the previous life, everything was good in a peaceful and prosperous world, but in this regard, after all, it was not as general as in ancient times, which made many people a little less ambitious and have the momentum of Lingyun in the world.

I thought that Xie Yuan was just a wooden nerd who had read too many books and didn't know how to be flexible, or just like the Xiao family, he pinned the hopes of the whole family on Xiao Ronghua to get fame and take the whole family to turn over.

Who would have thought that in his heart, what was hidden was the ambition of the entire Xie family, and it took the hard work of the entire Xie family to fulfill the promise to the Holy Grandfather, and this courage and mind were beyond the reach of others.

But in the end, such a responsibility is still somewhat bearable.

For the Holy Grandfather, he has countless generals and officials, and the great people in the world are not kings and ministers, presumably he will have the same expectations for everyone, a person he met during the war, maybe he had a little appreciation at the time, and when he said it, I am afraid that he will soon be drowned in the long stream of time and be covered up by other people.

But this sentence remained in the hearts of the ancestors of the Xie family, and they have been teaching the younger generations like this until Xie Yuan came here.

For the sake of the responsibility on his shoulders and the entrustment of his ancestors, he was willing to give up what he liked more, and devoted himself to the entrance examination, and like many Xie family members, he embarked on this road that may be difficult to see the end of the day.

Xiao Ling'er breathed a long sigh of relief, and her expression eased a lot, "Aunt Yu, it turns out that this is why Brother Xie Yuan is so obsessed with gaining fame in the examination, Xie Family's entrustment, he really put it in his heart." ”

"yes." Aunt Yu was a little stunned, sitting on the chair in the pavilion, and shook her head secretly, "The regret in my father-in-law's heart remained in my heart as a master, and also in Yuan'er's heart, he wanted to be able to enter the court as an official one day, and he could make up for my father-in-law's regrets back then." It also allows the lintel of the Xie family to be looked down upon. It's just、It's just that it's really hard for my family.。 ”

After all, Aunt Yu is not the Xie family, and as a woman in this dynasty, she will be a little less manly in this kind of thing. Compared with the responsibility of the Xie family's ancestors, she thought more about her son, of course, she was distressed.

In fact, according to Yuan'er's temperament and skills, if he does what he likes, even if he can't talk about any small success, he can always live a peaceful and happy life, how can he be like now, full of obsession in those books. is also a big boss, but he has a tight life and has not married a wife and had children, except for the entrance examination, he doesn't think about anything. You said that I am still here, if one day I can't stand this body, so I leave him like this, leaving him alone, and there is no one around me who knows cold and heat, I really can't rest assured. ”

Mu Shishi and Xiao Ling'er can both understand the worries in Aunt Yu's heart.

Although the examination of the Southern Dynasty is roughly similar to the ancient imperial examination system that Xiao Ling'er knew before, it is also slightly different, and the Southern Dynasty has schools in various provinces and counties, and most of the people who can afford to go to the school are local magnates.

And the children of poor families like Xie Yuan or the eldest brother of the Xiao family, who have no money or no relationship to be able to go to the county school, can only rely on the township test, and only after the township test can they be qualified to go to the provincial school with the students of the county school. As for the provincial examination, only the top three can enter Beijing to catch up with the school, and others who have not entered the top three but have passed the provincial examination, although they do not have the qualifications to enter Beijing as a protégé on the day of entry, they can also go to the local area to serve as a petty official with their academic performance.

Therefore, in the Southern Dynasties, above the entrance examination, the township examination was the most basic one. It can be said that the first threshold for entering the entrance examination, but because the heirs of the local magnates can go directly to the county school and do not need to pass the township examination, so this examination is mostly to examine the children of the poor family, and the first is the showman, which can be distinguished from the ordinary people, but there is neither an official position nor a good reputation, in the final analysis, it is just a better reputation, at most, the top does not need to kneel when seeing the county official like other people.

But then again, even if it is the first pass, the township test is not simple. There are a lot of scholars who rush to take the exam every time, and the best ranking is not the top three in the local area, and it is normal to fall first, not to mention the provincial examination.

I think it comes from my aunt's heart, and I am also worried about this.

Xie Yuan put all his thoughts on this, if he repeatedly failed in the exam, Aunt Yu couldn't bear to watch him put half of his life in this.

Mu Shishi sighed, held Aunt Yu with one hand, and patted her on the shoulder with the other, wanting to comfort her. "Aunt Yu, don't worry too much, although the junior brother can't listen to any dissuasion, but he has the heart to take the exam, and he works so hard, maybe he will be in high school one day. Even if...... Even if it really doesn't work, the junior brother has a lot of craftsmanship, and it will be fine. ”

"I'm afraid that if this day is delayed, it will be too late!" Aunt Yu looked a little anxious, took Mu Shishi's hand down, held it in her palm and shook it excitedly, "Miss Mu, you know Yuan'er." You said that my father-in-law was smart and studious since he was a child, and others said that he was talented, and he could pass the township examination in less than double ten, but he didn't win the provincial examination until he was almost forty years old. After being an official for a few years, I didn't want to do anything, and I was a bad crime. Yuan'er can't compare to my father-in-law in reading, and he obviously prefers other crafts, but he has to force himself to study, and he has some talent, no matter what articles he memorizes, he will spend a lot more time than others. I'm really worried that if he goes on like this, he will waste his good years. ”

Xiao Ling'er finally understood what Aunt Yu meant by keeping the two of them today, and she stepped forward, "What Aunt Yu thinks in her heart is for us to help persuade Brother Xie Yuan." ”

Aunt Yu immediately nodded, "I really can't help it, Yuan'er has always been filial, but he refuses to listen to me in this matter." I hadn't read much, and I really didn't know what to say to hear him. But the two girls are different, I just heard you really say everything I want to say in my heart, I really hope that you can help me. ”

Aunt Yu said, and was about to kneel down towards them.

Xiao Ling'er and Mu Shishi hurriedly supported her, "Don't, Aunt Yu, we can't afford this big gift." "It's been a year, and Xiao Ling'er is still not used to the problem of people who come here to kneel down at every turn, and they almost scare her every time.

"It's just Aunt Yu, if we can persuade our junior brother, we will definitely not refuse. It's just that you also know that I persuaded him two years ago, and I told him so much today, but he still can't listen to him. ”

"I know, I know Yuan'er has a stubborn temper, but I really can't think of anything else I can do for him." Aunt Yu was afraid that she really didn't have any other ideas, and when she saw Mu Shishi and Xiao Ling'er coming to persuade her, she put her expectations on the two of them, "Two girls, I came to tell you this today, because I don't want you to be angry with Yuan'er, but also hope that you can help me think of a way, I really don't want to see Yuan'er go on like this." ”

Aunt Yu's face was full of anticipation, and even her hands trembled a little when she spoke.

Mu Shishi hugged her, "Aunt Yu, you're welcome, even if you don't say this, my junior brother is busy, I, as a senior sister, will definitely help." ”

"yes, yes." Xiao Ling'er hurriedly picked up the conversation, "Aunt Yu, rest assured, as long as we can do it, I can't give up my opinion." But this kind of thing, you can't be in a hurry, Brother Xie Yuan is obsessed in his heart, it's useless for us to persuade like this, it seems that we have to think of a way. ”

"What did you think of?"

Mu Shishi and Aunt Yu both looked at her, and Xiao Ling'er shrugged her shoulders, "It's so fast, but Aunt Yu, since I promised you this, I will definitely think of a try, but if there is really no way, you don't have to be surprised." ”

"I can't help myself, thank you two girls." Aunt Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and thanked her several times, and Mu Shishi was relieved, so she sent her back to her house and left with Xiao Ling'er.

Mu Shishi still couldn't let go in her heart, "Ling'er, this matter is not easy to do, my junior brother has a very strong temper. ”

"If it's not easy, you have to try." Xiao Ling'er pursed her lips and grabbed Mu Shishi's arm, "Okay, Sister Shishi, what about this matter, leave it to me for the time being." If it really makes sense, maybe Xie Yuanken will come to our medicine canteen, and the cook's problem will be solved. ”

Originally, when she came out of the Xie family, Xiao Ling'er had already dispelled this idea, but since even Aunt Yu said so, helping others and helping oneself, there are still some things that can be fought for. When the time comes, it really can't be done, so I can only do my best, and then find another cook.

"After all, I don't want to think about this for now, in addition to the cook, there are still things to do to open a medicine canteen. The decoration inside is placed to attract people, and everything has to be thought about. Sister Shishi, you are in the county seat, and you have opened a pharmacy, I see that your pharmacy is elegantly furnished, you should be much more familiar with these jobs than me. ”

"That's fine." Mu Shishi patted her chest, "Leave these chores to me to deal with, since the shop is available, these can be done in a month or two at most." You should think about my junior brother, calculate the time, the medicine field behind you, and after a while, some of them can be harvested. There are also people in Anding Village who sell medicine with you, and you have to explain it well, and you have to be busy. ”

"Okay, I know." Xiao Ling'er laughed, her eyes looked ahead, and her expression became a lot more serious.

Either way, one by one. Anyway, this medicinal canteen, she is open!
