Chapter 345 Chapter 344
What's next?

Liu Ze thought about it seriously.

At only 13 years old, he was admitted as a scholar. It is not conceited to say that he is already considered a young talent.

In this regard, Liu Ze has never underestimated himself, but at the same time, he is also more aware that being a scholar, relatively speaking, is only the simplest first step.

Although people have said that he is extremely intelligent since he was a child, he is very good at reading and writing.

However, Liu Ze knew very well that compared to his elder brother, he was still a bit behind. When he was young, his parents were busy, and his elder brother almost taught him his homework.

At that time, the eldest brother was only a few years old, but he was already able to teach himself to be outstanding, which can be imagined by his knowledge.

It's just that the eldest brother himself is gentle and low-key on weekdays, and rarely debates with others, so he doesn't show himself in front of others.

What's more, the elder brother's masters, among them there is an elderly Jinshi who returned to his hometown, they are also full of praise for him.

Even so, my eldest brother has prepared for this exam for a long time.

So Liu Ze is very self-aware. The rural exam is definitely more difficult than the college exam, and there are more things to rely on. Hearing what my elder brother said before, there are laws and regulations, arithmetic, calligraphy, literary talent, political theory, etc.

And these, just reading and reading, are useless, there must be better teachers, especially when taking the exam, it depends on the current situation and so on.

Anyway, along the way, in addition to knowledge, there is also vision, views on the current situation, etc., and these require a good guide.

The most important thing is that even if you have these, you can really pass the exam.

And his elder brother was able to be admitted to Juren in one go, which has to be said to be really good. No wonder his parents were worried that he would be favored in the capital.

However, it was only his elder brother after all, Liu Ze didn't think he could be that powerful.

This time, when he was only thirteen, he was admitted as a scholar. To put it bluntly, he felt that he was lucky.

Before this, the eldest brother often taught them some knowledge that they might pass the test, and basically got a third of the bets, which is why they got such good results this time.

A hand waved in front of his eyes, Liu Ze came back to his senses and saw that it was Jiang Yu: "What are you thinking?"

Liu Ze took a sip of tea slowly: "I was thinking that you can only take the provincial examination after the age of 20, it's still early, just right, before that, it's not bad to get married first."

Jiang Yu was choked for an instant, and then rolled his eyes again: "You think well, Xiaoxue will only be 12 years old in May next year."

Liu Ze chuckled and said, "Brother, what's the rush? I didn't say we're getting married right now, but there's one thing I haven't told Uncle Jiang yet."

As he spoke, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes worried.

"What?" Jiang Yu asked, and then remembered: "You want to marry Xiaoxue? Don't talk about parents, I don't think Xiaoxue knows about it?"

Liu Ze smiled wryly and shook his head: "It would be great if it was such a simple matter. I really like Xiaoxue, and I sincerely ask to marry her. My uncle and aunt probably won't object."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Speaking of which, Liu Ze is also the only foreigner Xiaoxue can get in touch with, and regardless of various conditions, if Xiaoxue marries Liu Ze, it is actually a high bid.

After all, Xiaoxue is just an ordinary country girl, and Liu Zena is the son of the county magistrate, and he is still a scholar.

Of course, in Jiang Yu's heart, his sister is the best, not to mention the son of the county magistrate, even the son of the emperor, she must be worthy of it!

but……

Cough cough, we still need to combine the actual situation.

Leaving Liu Ze's background aside, Liu Ze grew up in their parents' home. Calculating the time, it has been almost seven years.

He has a good understanding of his character and heart, and the most important thing is that he has secretly had thoughts about Xiaoxue since he was a child.

When I was in Fu'an Village before, I would secretly separate those boys who wanted to work with Xiaoxue.

Jiang Yu has already seen through this thought.

Although Xiaoxue is young, she hasn't reached the age of first love, and she doesn't have any thoughts about it, but Jiang Yu has to admit that Xiaoxue's treatment of Liu Ze is indeed different from that of Wei Ziang.

Therefore, it is true that the two are childhood sweethearts and love each other.

From this point of view, it is definitely a good thing for Xiaoxue to marry Liu Ze.

Besides, Liu Jiang and his family have a good relationship. Although Aunt Liu Shuqian is a county magistrate and the other is a businessman, she is also very kind, so she doesn't have to worry about getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Besides, Aunt Qian was so kind to the eldest daughter-in-law, and everyone noticed that she was uncomfortable at home during pregnancy, so they built a house in the village for the daughter-in-law to raise the baby.

After confinement, seeing that they liked the life in Xiangmu Village, I let them come back.

Such a good mother-in-law is also very good to Xiaoxue.

At least, that's how Liu Ze saw it.

However, now that Liu Ze suddenly mentioned his worries, he was puzzled.

"Since you don't worry about your parents' opposition, what are you worried about? Could it be that Uncle Liu and Aunt Qian disagree?"

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, not to mention that he really hadn't thought about it, indeed, the two families were not well-matched, and it seemed that Uncle Liu's objection was not unreasonable.

Liu Ze quickly waved his hand: "What are you talking about? My parents already knew what I was thinking, so how could they object?"

To put it bluntly, he almost died before, and thanks to the Jiang family's blessing, he was able to grow up so big. Even if his parents saw this, they would not object to his relationship with Xiaoxue.

But that's what worries him too.

Thinking of this, Liu Ze sighed softly: "You know my physical condition. If I leave the things that the Jiang family grows and breeds, it will probably become like before in a few years."

"I have also considered this matter during this time. If I have the opportunity, I will take the provincial examination. If I fail the examination, I will not be discouraged. But if I pass the examination, I will not take the general examination, let alone Palace test."

Liu Ze was startled: "Why?"

Don't scholars just want to gain fame and serve the country?What is it to give up all of a sudden?
Liu Ze smiled helplessly: "Brother, let's not talk about whether I have the ability to pass the exam. Even if I pass the exam, if the Holy Majesty sends us down as officials, how many years do you think I can live with my physical condition?"

Seeing that Jiang Yu wanted to speak, Liu Ze waved his hand directly: "Don't say that you can buy food from home. If the journey is too far, the price will be too high."

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, he really had never considered this matter.

After a while, Jiang Yu frowned and said, "It's really just my thinking."

He never thought about taking part in the imperial examination and becoming an official in the court. They will be separated, and it is impossible to stay in one place all the time.

In the past, Fu'an Village was only eight days away from Chengxian County, and they could only deliver food and a small amount of live chickens and ducks.

In just one year, Liu Ze's body has indeed weakened a lot.

If the distance is longer and the journey is longer, for example, it takes two or three months to get to another place, and even the delivery of food must consider rain and other issues.

For Liu Ze, this was indeed the biggest problem.

but……

"So, you are afraid that your parents will not agree. What is it? Is it because you are not in good health? Are you afraid that your parents will not agree to this matter?"

Liu Ze gave a wry smile and nodded: "Actually, I have already thought about it before. After I go back this time, I won't have to go to the academy every day."

"Huh?" Jiang Yu was puzzled, "Then what do you want to do? Can you get a small official position in Cheng County after taking the Juren test? Isn't that very good, why don't you go to the academy?"

Even the third-class Jinshi can take the Shujishi examination together with the second-class Jinshi. Those who pass will be awarded the seventh rank, and they will study in various ministries in the capital for three years, and will be reassigned after three years.

Uncle Liu was a second-class Jinshi back then, and later found an opportunity to be a county magistrate in his hometown.

The top three Jinshi is from No. 60 to No. 4;

However, there are so many Jinshi, so the county magistrate can promote Juren Gongshi under his jurisdiction to some less confidential official positions.

"If you want me to tell you, you just want to study, and I'll talk about the rest later. Don't tell me that you really want to be a son-in-law. You don't look so unambitious."

Although he had joked before about Liu Ze being his son-in-law or something, that was all a joke and couldn't be taken seriously.

Moreover, in the eyes of the world, the door-to-door son-in-law is looked down upon by others. He doesn't think that Liu Ze really doesn't want to fight on his own, but directly comes to the door.

Besides, Jinshi, who can be sure that he will be able to pass the exam, the total number of students who take the exam is tens of thousands, and those who can pass the exam are only the top 300.

So it's not just Liu Ze, Jiang Yu is also the same. Although he has great ambitions, he only thinks about the present and what he will do if he fails the exam.

The best thing, of course, is to pass the provincial examination first. In Chengxian County, if you are lucky, or get a small official position in Nanyang Prefecture, you can continue to take the exam while working.

Even if I can't do it myself, but my son can have a better foundation, maybe his son will be able to pass the exam.

That's why Jiang Yu said that about Liu Ze.

However, Liu Ze obviously wanted to come over what Jiang Yu was thinking about.

"What are you talking about, I didn't say it, just let it go."

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, that's good, no matter what, he didn't want his good brother to just give up like this.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ze continued: "However, I am not interested in being an official. I want to open a small school in Xiangmu Village after I go back this time."

Jiang Yu was surprised: "You want to be a teacher?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "Don't talk about teaching people to get fame, but only teaching people to read and understand characters, it should still be possible."

Most of them lived in the countryside these years, and Jiang Yu saw it more clearly than his parents. Villagers had no money to pay school fees, they couldn't afford so many pens and inks, and it was too far away for them to get fame.

However, he also saw that the more remote, poor and uncivilized the place, the more they like to mess around and make no sense.

And reading and literacy can obviously improve this.

He may have very lofty aspirations when he was young, but after going through a life-and-death moment, now he sees it, and he doesn't particularly insist on those, but wants to do something he likes.

Just when Liu Ze was thinking about this, Jiang Yu suddenly slapped his hands.

"Oh, I see. You mean, you are afraid that if you open a school in the village, my parents will say that you have no ambition, so you are worried that they will disagree?"

Liu Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "There must be this reason."

Didn't he say it, and there are physical reasons, the elder brother just didn't remember it at all.
