A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 150 Will she succeed?
Time flew by and the day of the imperial examination arrived quickly.

In ancient times, it was customary to remove one's clothes to verify one's physical condition before entering the examination hall.

However, this system had been abolished previously.

The reason was that one cold winter, almost half of the candidates fell ill because of the requirement to remove their clothes for the inspection, and some even died.

The candidates' families gathered together, beat the petition drum, and expressed their grief.

The newly enthroned Emperor Xuanhe was grief-stricken, so he abolished the uniform and replaced it with a system where body searches were conducted without removing clothing.

This is also why Chu Yu has been able to get this far without being exposed.

However, the removal of the uniform has led to instances of people smuggling cheat sheets without being caught, and cheating still occurs from time to time.

These people, because they succeeded in cheating, also became officials!
This is also one of the reasons why officials in Daqing are so demoralized these days.

Therefore, it is impossible to say that Emperor Xuanhe bears no responsibility for the current situation in Daqing.

As an emperor, the worst thing you can do is be too kind!
Meanwhile, Chu Yu, filled with trepidation, endured the discomfort of being searched and finally passed through the search, entering the examination hall.

She let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky.

She'll succeed, won't she?
Just as Chu Yu stepped into the examination hall, Su Xiuxiu's family finally arrived in the capital.

Su Xiuxiu had been to Beijing in her previous life, but the modern Beijing was very different from the ancient capital.

Upon arriving in the capital, Su Xiuxiu saw a landscape completely different from the ancient countryside.

The capital city was bustling and prosperous, showing no signs that this dynasty would be overthrown in a few years.

Of course, in Su Xiuxiu's heart, she did not want Daqing to be overthrown.

Since the Daqing regime was overthrown, her position as a seventh-rank female official, which she had been bestowed upon her by the Daqing regime, was no longer valuable.

When Su Xiuxiu saw the textile factories, the groups of female workers, and the Flower Goddess Workshop, she became very excited.

All of this was done by the female officials under Princess Fuqing's orders.

Soap, and a new spinning machine!

More and more evidence proves that Princess Fuqing was indeed from her hometown.

Arriving in the capital, she was very likely to meet someone from her hometown; how could she not be excited?

They were in the carriage and soon passed through a section of the road under their jurisdiction, so they were moving rather slowly.

I found out after asking that today is the day the imperial examination begins.

The section of road they were passing through was the Gongyuan (Imperial Examination Hall).

Su Xiuxiu lifted the curtain and saw the tall and ancient examination hall.

She knew that at that moment, students from all over the country were inside, writing furiously, striving for a chance to enter the imperial court.

Su Xiuxiu thought to herself, thankfully she didn't have to take the imperial examination.

Little did she know that passing the imperial examinations in ancient times was far more difficult than becoming the top provincial scholar in modern times.

Some people, from being a child to an old man with white hair, may not be able to pass the exam.

This shows how difficult and prestigious the imperial examinations were in ancient times.

But even if it's difficult, what can we do?

For a farmer's son, the imperial examination was the only way to transcend social class!

Although Su Xiuxiu kept her distance from the imperial examinations, she greatly admired those who dared to struggle on this path for decades.

The carriage passed by the examination hall and traveled for a while before slowly coming to a stop.

"My lord, we've arrived at Lane 8, Shun'an Road!" the driver called out.

Su Xiuxiu and her family got off the carriage and stood in front of a quaint and beautiful house.

"My goodness, could this be our family home?" Madam Su looked up and exclaimed.

Su Xiuxiu examined the house number. "This should be it. This is the address written on the land deed!" "I have the key. I'll go open the door." Su Xiuxiu took the key and stepped forward.

She was still a little nervous and excited.

After all, this was their family's first house in Beijing.

When the key was inserted into the lock and a click sounded as the lock opened, Su Xiuxiu's heart calmed down.

As the lock was removed, Su Xiuxiu pushed the door open.

This two-courtyard house was a gift from Emperor Xuanhe to Su Xiuxiu.

Although it's only a two-story house, it's a wonderful place for the Su family, who had always lived in cramped houses in the countryside.

Everyone has their own room, and there are still quite a few rooms left after everyone has checked in.

The eldest brother of the Su family and his newlywed wife, Hu Qiurong, were also very happy.

Previously, in the Su family's village in the countryside, although they had a separate room, it was originally a room that had been partitioned off, and their two younger brothers-in-law lived next door.

The space is small, and the soundproofing is poor.

This made the eldest brother and his wife from the Su family dare not make a sound except on their wedding night.

Now, this new house is large and well-insulated.

They couldn't be more satisfied.

Hu Qiurong, in particular, was already quite content with her room in the Su family's house in Xinghua Village.

After all, back at her parents' home, she lived in a shared dormitory with her younger sisters.

She never imagined that she would be able to marry the man she loved and be brought to the capital, a place she never dared to dream of before.

Moreover, she has left her parents' home, and her husband's family is currently treating her very well.

Hu Qiurong felt that perhaps all the suffering she had endured over the past ten years was for the sake of coming to the Su family to enjoy a life of happiness.

Soon, the Su family members chose the rooms they liked.

The house isn't dirty; a simple cleaning is all it takes to move in.

"This plot of land in the yard is nice; I think we can grow vegetables here!" Mrs. Su was very satisfied with the plot of land in the yard.

“Okay, Mother, whatever you say we’ll plant,” Su Xiuxiu agreed.

"It's almost noon, why don't we go buy some groceries and cook some rice?" Old Man Su said.

"Father and Mother, let Qiu Rong and I go. When we arrived, I saw some vegetable and meat stalls around here," Brother Su suggested.

"Alright, then you can go ahead." Su Li gave them money and told them to buy more meat and vegetables.

Su Li brought rice from her hometown, so she started cooking it first.

After the young couple returned, Su Lishi and Hu Qiurong started working in the kitchen.

The men of the Su family were cultivating the land in the yard, preparing to grow vegetables later.

Su Xiuxiu wasn't idle either. She took a cloth and wiped down all the tables, chairs, and other things in the house that needed wiping.

By the time everything was finished, the food was ready.

"Come for dinner."

Now the Su family's life has improved, and the whole family has moved to the capital. Therefore, Su Lishi no longer skimps on food.

Since this was their first meal in the capital, Su Lishi prepared a very lavish meal.

Su Li's cooking skills were quite good, and the whole family ate to their hearts' content.

After finishing her meal, Madam Su patted her round belly, looked at the spacious courtyard, and exclaimed, "Before this, I never imagined I could live such a good life!"
