Not to mention that Zhu San had not studied for a few years, but the background of the Zhu family was not enough to support these things.

Xu Yujin and Mr. Xu had discussed it a long time ago and felt that if Zhu San could pass the examination like Zhu Qi, it would be considered a good thing.

Fingertips slid across Zhu San's eyebrows, and Xu Yujin's eyes became gentle.

She thought that if Zhu San didn't object, they would take the exam this time. She really couldn't bear to let him suffer such hardship.

What responded to her was Zhu San's snoring: "Hulu... snore..."

Xu Yujin was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, she laughed silently.

——Really, what is she thinking?

——She doesn’t have the final say whether to take the exam or not, she has to ask him what he thinks.

——If he doesn't want to take the exam, forget it. If he is willing to take the exam...

——Sigh... No matter what, I have to make an appointment with him to take the exam only a few times, lest this guy gets into trouble and insists on giving her the exam for the same reason, which will be troublesome.

There was a lot of warmth in the house.

The next day, when Zhu San woke up, he met a pair of gentle eyes.

He was stunned for a moment: "Jin...er?"

"Are you awake? Are you thirsty? Are you thirsty for water? Let me help you up first..." As she said that, Xu Yujin stretched out her arms to help someone.

Zhu San couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm not a patient."

Xu Yujin slapped her forehead: "Oh, I forgot."

Zhu San got up with a smile. Although he did not make fun of Xu Yujin, the expression on his face was very obvious.

Xu Yujin was a little embarrassed and annoyed, so she glared at him: "It's not you who caused it. I've been sleeping since I came back yesterday, and everyone is worried to death."

"Are you sure you're not worried?" Zhu San deliberately mischief.

Xu Yujin glared at him.

"You are still staring at me. It seems that you really don't worry about me anymore," Zhu San said with a regretful expression, "Sigh... I thought I couldn't eat or sleep well after taking exams for so many days.

You must be worried about me. I didn’t expect that you don’t even have me in your heart..."

Xu Yujin knew that he did it on purpose, but had no choice but to call out his full name angrily: "Zhu Shunyou."

Zhu San was afraid that she would be really angry, so he quickly admitted his mistake.

Just as Xu Yujin was about to speak, voices came from the door. It turned out that it was Ye Yuran who sent someone to ask if Zhu San was awake.

Not long after, the news of Zhu San's awakening spread throughout Zhu Mansion.

Upon hearing the news that Zhu San had woken up, Ye Yuran, Lin Sanmei, Lin Simei, Zhu Qi and others naturally rushed over to see him. A group of people gathered around the room and talked for a while.

Ye Yuran's heart dropped completely when she saw that Zhu San was in good spirits and didn't look like he was going to be sick.

Although everyone was very concerned about how Zhu San did in the exam, he had just come out of the exam room. Ye Yuran didn't want him to be too stressed and didn't let everyone ask. Anyway, there would be news in a few days.

When Zhu San found out, he laughed a little, and instead took the initiative to talk to everyone about his exam status.

Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei don't know about the imperial examination situation, but Ye Yuran, Xu Yujin, and Zhu Qi do. ​​In the past years, the imperial examination did not test poetry, songs, and essays. I wish I could select the top five most learned and rich people in the world.

The learned ones.

On the contrary, it is "practical", which is rarely involved in the end.

Therefore, when the latter heard that the big question this time turned out to be practical, and how to be a county magistrate, they were all surprised: Is the direction of the wind going to change?

I don’t blame Ye Yuran and others for being insensitive. It’s because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It’s not like the modern network information is developed. If something happens in the capital, the day lily will be cold by the time it comes over there.

The last time Ye Yuran heard news about the royal family, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Ye Yuran deeply feels that this is the sorrow of the lower class people. Trapped in the predicament of the times, they can only understand the one-third of an acre of land in front of them. If you want to know more, you have to see whether your network of contacts is sufficient.

big.

After hearing what Zhu San answered, looking at it from a modern perspective, Ye Yuran felt that Zhu San could answer the question based on Zhujiacun, listing data and giving examples. Even if he could not be considered particularly outstanding,

That's definitely a pass.

If Zhu San is not good enough, it is just because the place Zhu San sees is only so big. Without in-depth contact, he cannot imagine the farther world and can only answer from point to point.

But this answer is the most practical. If Zhu San is really given such a place, he shouldn't manage it too badly.

However, Ye Yuran didn't know what people of this era would think, especially the examiners of this college examination...

If Zhu San's way of answering questions is not the style that the other party likes, there may be no hope.

Ye Yuran only thought about these in his mind and did not say it out loud. He only gave Zhu San an example of Zhujia Village and helped Zhu San check and fill in the gaps. He made up a lot of things.

What Zhu San knew, apart from what Ye Yuran told him, was what he learned from communicating with the Zhu family through letters from time to time, and his past farming experience. But after he went out to study with Zhu Qi, he had actually learned a lot.

I haven’t been exposed to the life in the village for a long time, so naturally Ye Yuran doesn’t know certain details as well.

When Zhu Da and Zhu Er talk to Zhu San, they will only talk about what they have done. They will not tell Zhu San like Ye Yuran what kind of long-term plan she is based on for this arrangement. If it is realized, then it will probably happen in the future.

What does it look like.

This was also the first time Zhu San knew that his mother wanted to build such a Zhujia Village - with Zhu's elementary school as the center, based on agriculture and education, radiating to the surrounding areas, developing various technology-based economies, and thus driving a large number of people.

Make a fortune and live a beautiful life with the "three things" of "food to eat, clothing to wear, and a house to live in".

"Mom, you..." Zhu San was surprised, looking at his mother's expression, he felt speechless.

He didn't know what to say. He always thought that his mother was just a little "smart". Because she was smart, she gave birth to several of their brothers, and she also knew how to "educate" them and send them to study, read and find a future.

When studying with Zhu Qi, Zhu San's wish was that it would be great if his seventh brother could get something in the exam and support himself.

Later, when Zhu San found out that he could start a business, his wish became—if only I could make more money for my family so that my family could live a good life.

As a result, he accidentally fell into Mr. Xu's eyes and married Xu Yujin. At this time, Zhu San's idea changed again - it would be great if I could also gain fame and become a minor official to find stability.

His thoughts have never left his family, and he has always wanted them to live a good life, but his mother's thoughts are - not only do I want to live a good life, but I also want the people around me to live a good life.

A country woman actually had such an ideal. Zhu San suddenly felt that his own status was too small, and he felt a little sorry for his mother's upbringing over the years.

Ye Yuran saw his surprised expression and smiled: "Why, do you think your mother and I can't do it?"

Zhu San quickly shook his head and said: "Of course not, mother has already done part of it, hasn't she? Zhujiacun has already filled her stomach with your guidance. During the Chinese New Year last year, many of their families were willing to buy new clothes for the whole family.

Yes. I also heard that many of them raise pigs. They dare not say that they eat meat every day, but they can always taste a little bit of meat every few days..."

And these are the days when they used to drink gruel and eat wild vegetables and couldn't even fill their stomachs. They couldn't even think about it.
