Chapter 121: Another College Entrance Examination
The college entrance examination is held twice every three years. If you miss this year, you will have to wait another two years.
Those who have good knowledge will try it enthusiastically, and once they pass the college examination, they will become scholars.
Some people who feel that they are not good enough plan to refer to it again in two years.
"Students will participate." Jiang Yue did not hesitate. If she failed the exam, she could just take it again in two years.
Seeing Jiang Yue was so confident, Ye Chen naturally couldn't be bad.
“Students also participate.”
The college entrance examination for Jiang Yue and Ye Chen was thus decided.
For this reason, Ye Chen asked Jiang Yue,
"What questions will be tested in the college entrance examination?" Ye Chen really wanted to know.
Surpassing Jiang Yue has become his life goal.
He doesn't want to be second forever, he wants to be first.
"Ye Chen, if you have the time, you might as well learn from the teacher." Jiang Yue didn't dare to say anything nonsense, so he changed the subject with a few words.
...Since the Jiang family moved, Liu Chunfeng began to prepare for the marriage of her eldest granddaughter, and finally set the wedding date on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
After the date was set, Liu Chunfeng was still worried when she heard that Jiang Yue was going to take the college entrance examination.
"Xiao Liu, listen to grandma, let's not take the exam, okay?"
Jiang Yue: "Grandma, don't be afraid. When Xiaoliu wins the title of scholar, you will be the grandmother of the scholar in the future."
Liu Chunfeng secretly shook her head, "Xiao Liu, when our family makes more money and you grow up, grandma has made up her mind. By then, we will move to the county town. Now that you have regained your female body, with your talent, how can you worry about not being able to find a good man? Grandma can't be so selfish and let you keep pretending like this."
"Grandma, Xiaoliu is your grandson."
Jiang Yue never thought about regaining her female body.
Girls have too many concerns, but boys can do more.
She spoke seriously, but Liu Chunfeng's brows were still furrowed.
"But……"
"Don't worry, grandma. Just wait for my good news."
When it comes to scientific examinations, what she fears most is the body search.
If the government becomes strict in the future, the worst that can happen is that the examination will not be held. At the very least, a scholar can bring honor to his family and taxes can be reduced.
Liu Chunfeng swallowed her words. She had a thousand words to say but didn't know how to express them.
As the college examination is approaching, the teachers, the principal and the students of Baichuan Academy are all getting nervous.
All the students who are going to take the college entrance examination are immersed in the sea of books every day.
Jiang Yue combined work and rest, but was often pulled by Master Shen Qing to study hard.
It was not until later that Jiang Yue found out that her master Shen Qing was actually a juren.
Despite his noble background, Master Shen Qing is very low-key and is devoted to medicine.
The college entrance examination is coming soon.
At Baichuan Academy, Ye Chen saw Jiang Yue's calm expression and couldn't help asking,
"Aren't you nervous?"
Jiang Yue: “Nervous.” How could I not be nervous for such an important exam?
Ye Chen: "Why are you still so calm?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you fail the exam?
"Nervousness will only affect your test mentality and the results." Jiang Yue couldn't help but think of Zhao Tiancheng.
"At worst, I can just retake the exam."
"I'm not nervous." Ye Chen said, but his heart was not. "If I fail the exam, I will only drift further and further away from you. Jiang Yue, it's hard to meet a bosom friend in life. You and I should advance and retreat together. In the future, we will serve as officials in the same dynasty. I will use my connections to protect your safety. At the critical moment, you have to help me win the fight."
After saying that, he laughed twice, and the nervousness in his heart at the moment also dissipated a lot.
Jiang Yue: "...Hmm?"
The longer she knew Ye Chen, the more she discovered that this person was simple by nature and really interesting.
"Just because you have connections in Chuanshui County doesn't mean you will have connections after entering the court. If we both become officials in the future, we may not be assigned to the same province or county."
"That's true. The world is so vast that you and I are just a drop in the ocean." Ye Chen was filled with emotion. Outside the county, he was nothing.
Jiang Yue agreed with this, but,
“Although the corn is small, it is the king of the five grains. Although you and I are small, we can also make a difference!”
"I just like your spirit of never giving up!" Ye Chen was determined to enter the officialdom and become an official in the court.
...In the academy examination, the chief examiner was the academician, a censor sent by the imperial court.
Because Huai'an County is relatively remote, there is no college entrance examination test site there.
The college examination was held in Qingyun Prefecture.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue refused to let her grandmother travel long distances on the grounds that she was only nine years old.
But it still failed to offset grandma's worry about her. Even though Lin Guo said that he would escort Jiang Yue, she refused to listen and only the two of them accompanied her.
This time, Zhao Tiancheng was not with them.
At the beginning, Zhao Tiancheng chose Qinglian Academy, where the tuition was relatively cheap, because of his poor family, and he did not plan to take part in the academy examination this year.
Taoyuan Village is about two hundred miles away from Qingyun Prefecture.
When Jiang Yue set out, her sisters were all very nervous, preparing water bags or dried meat and dry food.
On the road, Lin Guo drove the car, while Jiang Yue and her grandmother sat in the carriage, traveling at a leisurely pace.
On the way, Jiang Yue flipped through books from time to time. Her grandmother just sat there quietly and didn't disturb her. She just told her not to be nervous and that the most important thing in the exam was participation.
Jiang Yue studied very hard and lost a lot of weight, which made Liu Chunfeng feel very distressed.
Her little six is clearly...but her character is more determined than that of men.
Qingyunzhou's entrance examination is scheduled for mid-August.
It was the end of July when Jiang Yue and the other two arrived.
As the chief of the nine counties, Qingyun has many city walls and moats.
The city walls built of bluestone bricks are tall and majestic, the moat is as wide as silver, and the water flows gently.
Qingyun Province was completely wrapped in it, stable and solid.
Jiang Yue also truly understood why when two countries were at war, the people liked to run into the city.
She secretly thought that during her lifetime, she hoped that their country of Donglin would enjoy eternal peace, and that her family could live in peace and without worries.
When the three entered the city, they were immediately attracted by the prosperity of Qingyunzhou City.
The closer you are to the city, the more prosperous it is.
The border areas are indeed insufficient.
Although it is not easy to pass the exam to become a Tongsheng, all the Tongsheng candidates in the state gather here, so it is really hard to find an inn.
As they walked along, the three of them were hungry, so they bought some more buns on the way.
Jiang Yue and the other two searched everywhere, but by the evening they still hadn't found a place to stay.
"Grandma, if you really can't find a place, you and Xiaoliu can stay in the carriage tonight." Lin Guo suggested.
Liu Chunfeng sighed, "It has to be this way."
"Maybe, we can go to the B&B and ask." Jiang Yue thought, they would be staying here for more than a month, so they could rent a B&B.
"Okay." Lin Guo also thought so.
It’s not easy to come here, and now that I’m here, I have to wait until the results are announced.
After the matter was settled, Jiang Yue and the other two made some inquiries and finally found a homestay in a remote corner, which they agreed to rent for more than a month.
The owner of the B&B is a kind old grandfather. He can make money, so he agreed.
For the next half month, Jiang Yue was obsessed with reading all day long. She took a full three days off before the exam and went out to relax.
The nearby mountain temples, pavilions and towers are a good place to visit.
On the day of the official examination, Jiang Yue and Ye Chen met outside the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, and they were in a completely different mood.
