Chapter 483 Let’s go to Beidu together
Yan Qiu felt that she was not belittling herself.
But she knew herself very well.
She is just a girl from a remote village, how can she compare with the rich lady in the city?
Regardless of family background or talent, there is no comparison. Even if the appearance is not bad, appearance is the most indispensable thing for a wealthy family.
Regarding Ling Ran’s grandfather, since Ling Ran said that his grandfather agreed that she would make the decision on the marriage, Shui Qing thought of going to Beidu to discuss face to face with the suitable girl’s family;
Later, Ling Ran said that the person he wanted to marry was Yan Qiu, and also mentioned that his maternal grandfather agreed. Originally, she thought that Yan Qiu would most likely not agree, so she was not very interested. Now that Yan Qiu agrees, as Yan Qiu's future She really needs to be more careful when choosing a husband!
As Yan Qiu said, it is obvious that the stepmother is particularly cruel, and Ling Ran is the opposite, so there is nothing to be afraid of. In comparison, whether it is the uncle or any of the aunts in the Zhu family, they have more say than Ling Ce and Sang. Rouda!
If they have objections to Yan Qiu, the marriage will not be optimistic, and it may even be better not to get married at all.
She looked at her eldest daughter and decided: "A lot of properties have been purchased in Beidu. Now that there is peace, we have to go there and take care of them.
Let's go to Zhu's family by the way. I won't mention you, but only Ling Ran's marriage, and see what his grandfather, uncle and aunt think about it?
If I agree with you, it goes without saying. If they disagree with us, we can just participate in the marriage they told Ling Ran as relatives. "
The corners of Yan Qiu's lips rose again and again.
It's great that she has a nang.
She just mentioned it, and Aniang already wanted to follow up every step!
She went to Beidu in the name of taking care of the property, and just "incidentally" went to the various families to hear the news. The family members agreed that she was better, but it was okay if they didn't. Her mother was just going to help the girl's family to choose.
Thinking that her mother-in-law, who had never traveled far away, would go to the distant Beidu for her, she asked with some distress: "Okay, but Beidu is far away. When will my mother-in-law plan to go there?"
Shui Qing thought for a moment, "June is the college examination and August is the provincial examination. If your father and Dahu fail the college examination, then we will set off after the college examination. If one of them succeeds, he will enter the provincial examination. How about we go to Beidu and go sightseeing together as a family after the provincial examination?"
Only those who have passed the college examination and become a student member, that is, a scholar, are eligible to participate in the subsequent township examination. Those who have passed the township examination are considered to be juren. Juren are already qualified to enter the officialdom and are considered to be reserve officials.
After the provincial examination, it is time to go to Beijing to take the exam, which is the general examination in February of the next year. If you pass it, you will be a Jinshi. Then there will be the palace examination in March. It will be the same group of people, and the emperor will personally determine the number one, second and third place.
Neither Fan Jin nor Dahu were scholars. They were qualified to take the provincial examination only after passing the college examination. In the past, she was not worried at all - Fan Jinli was still too early to pass the examination, but today Ling Ran brought the books and did not know that this was the case. Will such trivial things be done in advance?
But if you pass the provincial examination, it will be better. If you can take the examination and go to Beijing to take the examination, isn't that the Beidu? It just makes sense.
Shui Qing felt so excited when she thought about finally being able to go out for a sightseeing tour
When Yan Qiu heard that "the whole family is traveling to Beidu together," and saw that the happy look on her mother's face didn't seem to be fake, she felt a surge of admiration in her heart.
No matter what situation she is in, her mother can always find the good side and is extremely optimistic.
For some reason, she was more looking forward to the trip as a family than to Beidu, "Okay, let's go together as a family."
·
People in Shanshui Village, especially children, are more or less literate.
However, only Fan Jin, Fan Hu and Li Changlin, the eldest grandson of the old village chief, took the imperial examination route.
After getting Ling Ran's book, Fan Jin didn't hide it. He wrote a copy over the past few days and sent it to the old village chief's house by Shuiqing.
The old village chief's health has become worse and worse in the past two years. He spends most of his time lying in the yard and rarely goes out.
He originally wanted to hand over the affairs of the village to Shui Qing, but Shui Qing refused - it was not easy to be the village chief. She had to work hard and have the belief to do the best for the village. She thought she was not that noble.
And after becoming the village chief, she was too timid to do many things. She just wanted to earn money without any worries.
The old village chief, Fan Qiye and others thought about letting Wenhua take over again. She didn't need to refuse, but her parents and Wenhua hurriedly refused!
Not to mention that the Hu family is a later member, and that Wenhua is too young. Based on the relationship between the two siblings and the Ding family, if something happens in the future, how will it be handled? No matter how you deal with it, it will be easy to say or not.
Wenhua refused because the village chief had many things to do and he had been traveling for more than half a year and could not handle them in time.
The courtyard door of the old village chief's house was open. When Shui Qing stepped into the courtyard door, he saw that in addition to the old village chief, there were other elderly people in the village sitting in a circle, and they seemed to be discussing things.
Seeing Shui Qing, everyone in the circle was extremely surprised, "Shui Qing, we were discussing who should succeed the village chief, and you just came. Is it God's will?!"
How could Shui Qing not understand?
This is still not giving up.
Luckily now she has a better reason!
She first looked at Wang Guifen and handed over the book in her hand: "Sister-in-law Guifen, these are the books Ling Ran brought. They are all reviews by famous scholars. They are very powerful. Show them to Chang Lin."
Wang Guifen rubbed her hands on the hem of her clothes again and again, took it respectfully, turned around and ran into the house. After a while, Li Changlin followed him out and saluted Shui Qing, "Thank you, aunt. Is Uncle Jin home? I'll go." Thank you to Uncle Jin."
"No, the imperial examination is about to resume. You'd better read quickly. Don't waste time. How many words will you have to say after the exam is over?" Shui Qing said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the yard was stunned. Li Changlin immediately said happily: "Auntie, I understand! I will go back to the house and read a book!"
After studying for more than ten years, I have been exposed to severe cold and scorching heat. Now I finally see hope. How can I not pay attention to it!
The old village chief waited for his grandson to enter the house, and then he couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Shui Qing, did you get any news?"
Mr. Ling came from a big place, so he must be better informed than their remote village!
Shui Qing smiled and nodded, and said to everyone: "It will be peaceful outside from now on. The boss is rushing to take the exam, and I am also going to go out and take a look;
Yuhang, Jinling, Beidu...all the way north, I'm afraid I won't be in the village for several months, and I won't be in the village in the future. I really can't succeed in the position of village chief! "
The elders in the village know these places to some extent. The Jinxiaozi family, Hu family, and Ding family have purchased properties. Jinxiaozi has to rush for the exam, so the burden of inspection falls on Shui Qing. She is going to do business, and she wants to be the village chief. I really can't afford it.
"If it weren't for you, who else in our village could do it?" Father Xu asked disappointedly.
