On the day Cheng Qing took the Nanyi Academy entrance examination, Liu and his three sisters were restless, even more nervous than Cheng Qing himself.

"This is not a scientific test, why should it be like this?"

Cheng Qing joked with them, "I'm so nervous now. When I take the scientific test, you can't sleep at night."

Sanniang muttered, "I didn't fall asleep last night!"

"Sister, you must believe that your younger brother is smart and is a natural seedling of study."

Cheng Qing said a few words to relieve his nervousness, and Liu was in a very complicated mood.

Liu didn't know whether he should expect Cheng Qing to pass the exam.

If he was admitted to the academy, Cheng Qing would really embark on the road to imperial examinations. Liu was destined to worry about Cheng Qing, afraid that Cheng Qing's gender secret would be exposed.

If Cheng Qing fails to pass the exam... Liu also sees the hard study of Cheng Qing for the past two months. Cheng Qing really cares about this and is working hard for it. If Cheng Qing fails to pass the exam, wouldn't it mean that she is worse than others and her fake son will never become true!

The Liu family was in conflict, but Cheng Qing had already sorted out his clothes and went out.

Nanyi Academy was expanded from the Cheng clan school, and was originally located in the south of Nanyi County. Mr. Cheng Liu thought that the clan school was small, so he moved to the northern suburbs of the county town during the expansion, far away from the Cheng clan settlement and the bustling, allowing the academy students to concentrate on their studies.

Nanyi County is densely covered with water networks, and there is a small river at the back door of Cheng Qing’s house that leads directly to the academy. The water route is faster than land route. Cheng Qing looked at the endless boats in the river and gave up the idea of ​​calling the “water taxi”.

Insecure.

It is not guaranteed that anyone will make any bad things.

People like Young Master Yu teased her again, such as deliberately asking her to fall into water, which made her unable to take the exam today, so she would have to wait for another three months.

In the past, the Cheng clan school did not have these rules. After the expansion and upgrading to the "Nanyi Academy", the operation of the academy became more and more formal.

Just say that this entrance examination is open to the outside world, and it is not limited to the students' family background. As long as you are not a low-class person, you can take the exam.

There is an exam opportunity every three months, and it is June, and Cheng Qing takes the summer entrance exam this time.

If you miss this time, you can only take the exam again in September.

Of course she wanted to get into the academy first and wait for another three months, but who knew what would happen?

Cheng Qing gave up on taking a boat and taking a sedan chair and a car, so he should walk on both legs, just pretending to be exercised.

As soon as she went out, neighbors took the initiative to greet her. Cheng Qing's reputation of filial piety and ambition spread throughout Yangliu Lane. Every day, the sound of Lang Lang's calligraphy would come from Cheng Qing's attic. No matter whether it was sunny or rainy, it had never stopped for more than two months.

Most of the neighbors who work so hard have goodwill, hoping that Cheng Qing can pass the exam.

Cheng Qing accepted the kindness of the neighbors:

"Cheng Qing will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another sound of horse hooves behind her. The annoying Young Master Yu sat on the horse's back and looked down at Cheng Qing:

"There is no autumn wind to pay, you can't even afford the taxi. You have to walk to the academy? It's more than ten miles away. When you get to the academy, everyone else will finish the exam."

Cheng Qing ignored him, so Young Master Yu rode his horse and followed Cheng Qing.

It took Cheng Qing more than a dozen miles to arrive at Nanyi Academy. Young Master Yu followed slowly and never stopped sarcastically provoking Cheng Qing along the way.

Why did Cheng Qing tolerate him?

Because the man surnamed Yu only talks but not acts, Cheng Qing becomes an extra free bodyguard. He has a magistrate and a son who travels with him, but no slut dares to act rashly!

Nanyi Academy is built on a hill, located between green mountains and green waters, and the external environment is not picky at all.

The Cheng family in Nanyi spent 20,000 taels of silver, and other gentry in the county donated more than 10,000 taels of gold. It took three years to build this academy. In addition to the attractive reading environment, the teaching quality was also heart-wrenching for students who were determined to take the imperial examination.

In the past two years, every season of the entrance examination, the entrance of Nanyi Academy is crowded with people.

Cheng Qing walked out of breath and saw the academy gate and other candidates from afar. After more than an hour, she could finally get rid of Young Master Yu, the savage and annoying prefect, and her voice was inevitably a bit of joy:

"Thank you, Young Master Yu, for escorting all the way. You don't have to be so enthusiastic next time. Let's just leave you and I!"

Um?

This yellow-faced boy actually regarded him as his guard!

Young Master Yu exploded immediately.

He wanted to chase after Cheng Qing to settle the score. Several classmates came to him and greeted him from afar:

"Yu San, today is the admission exam for the academy every season, and it is also our season holiday. Why don't you go back to the Fucheng to have a good time?"

"Yes, I haven't seen you work so hard on weekdays!"

"Does your relative take the exam today..."

Yu San sneered, "I don't have such a relative, I am Cheng Gui's cousin!"

Cheng Gui’s cousin?

Cheng Gui's cousin is worried about Cheng Gui, so what does it have to do with Yu San, unless... he is the cousin who helped the spirits and returned home!

The classmates laughed at once.

"Yu San, it's said in the county that you and Cheng Gui bullied that little cousin, how dare you get close to him?"

Yu San's face turned black.

Ignoring his classmates' teasing, he looked up at the entrance of the academy. Cheng Qing seemed to be stopped by a servant. The other party gave Cheng Qing a food box, but Cheng Qing refused.

Yu San turned over and got off the horse and walked towards the gate of the academy.

It turned out that the second wife of the Cheng family sent the servant to give Cheng Qing supplements.

Is the second wife of the Cheng family afraid that Cheng Qing would want to please him so little?

Cheng Qing was so annoying that the servant who gave the supplements conveyed the care of the elders of the second house, but Cheng Qing did not accept the stews given by the other party.

The food box was half open, and waves of faint fragrance floated out. The other candidates waiting at the entrance of the academy couldn't help swallowing their saliva, but Cheng Qing was unmoved and took out the snacks in his arms and started eating slowly.

The people around him looked at Cheng Qing like a fool.

Madam Zhou was secretly anxious.

"Young Master Qing——"

"Mum, no need to persuade her step-grandmother. Cheng Qing is grateful for her kindness. Before Cheng Qing is unable to respect her step-grandmother, she will no longer accept any material funding from her!"

Cheng Qing spoke righteously, and Yu San just walked up to hear this.

Why, was it intentionally telling him?

Yu San wanted to mock Cheng Qing a few words, but many candidates were present. This was the gate of the academy. If he had no reason, it would be painful to hit someone with the ruler of the academy.

Buzz —

The bell of Nanyi Academy rang, and Cheng Qing followed the other candidates and walked into the academy.

Madam Zhou was so anxious.

If Cheng Qing really gets admitted to Nanyi Academy, the old lady will definitely blame her for being unfavorable.

Yu San couldn't understand Madam Zhou's anxiety. What a maid was thinking, and the magistrate would not care about it. But looking at Cheng Qing's back, Yu San's expression was also gloomy.

His mood is as complicated as Liu's.

Cheng Qing couldn't pass the exam, so he must ridicule and mock the boy.

But if Cheng Qing was admitted to the academy, it would be fine?

That fell into his hands.
