To gain respect from others, you have to rely on your own strength.

Cheng Qing would not complain to Master Cheng Wu, nor would he complain to Prime Minister Yu. If she had a reputation as a juren, how could Yu San dare to be arrogant in front of her?

When Meng Huaijin sent her down the mountain, Cheng Qing also seized the opportunity to ask about the precautions for the scientific examination.

If she wants to take the scientific examination, she needs to guarantee each other five child students, including her, and a student from the county has to write a guarantee document for her... This is easy to deal with, it is nothing more than to prove her age, hometown, and her descendants of prostitutes and so on, and it is not just a reference for her filial piety period.

What Cheng Qing really cares about is the process of the scientific examination. She pretended to be curious and asked if anyone cheated during the scientific examination. Meng Huaijin didn't think much about it. She just thought that Cheng Qing was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of a rope. She told her a lot of things about the examination room.

You need to search before entering the examination room, but you don’t take off your clothes and let others check it. Instead, you can check whether the test equipment meets the regulations and check whether there are any entrainments. Take off your clothes and check the face of a humiliating scholar. This is prohibited in this dynasty.

After entering the examination room, someone inspected day and night for twelve hours, and once they caught cheating, they immediately took it down!

Do not take off your clothes if you search?

Cheng Qing was overjoyed.

Gender secrets are what she is most worried about being exposed. She has a way to cover up just by searching and checking.

I found useful news from Meng Huaijin. Cheng Qing was in a good mood. When she returned to Yangliu Lane, she was waiting for the academy to post the red list the next day. She studied tirelessly at night. Liu was afraid that she would ruin her eyes. Although her family was not well-off, she lit a few big candles in Cheng Qing's house. After three months of returning to Nanyi County, Liu and others not only left the style of a female family member of the official family, but Cheng Qing focused on studying on weekdays, Liu took her three daughters to do some embroidery work. The mother and daughter were quick-witted, and the money earned from doing embroidery work was enough for daily expenses.

The cost of studying in the future is large, and the academy does not pay for the exam, but has to buy pens and ink books. The expenses are huge every time I take the exam. Even the most basic county examination requires the county's student insurance, and a sum of money is required... Cheng Qing was asking for information, and Liu was not idle either. Cheng Qing had already worked hard enough to study. Liu would no longer put economic pressure on Cheng Qing. Cheng Qing did not let her be used as a garment. Liu agreed, but privately had his own plans.

When I really have no money to be available, I have to go to the pawnshop if I should go!

Liu felt sorry for Cheng Qing to take too much responsibility at such a young age, and Cheng Qing felt sorry for Liu and his three sisters who had never let go of the needle and thread. They could not relax in the scientific examinations, and she also had to find a way to make some money.

In the room, Cheng Qing was memorizing and practicing calligraphy, while Liu and his three daughters were quietly doing needlework.

The eldest lady made frequent mistakes when she split the line tonight. Cheng Qing glanced at her and stopped writing and asked her:

"Sister, you have something to worry about."

The eldest lady was embarrassed, "Xiaolang, have you disturbed your studies?"

"I was tired of writing, and I wanted to take a break. Sister, you looked worried, but are you worried for me?"

Cheng Qing didn't tell any lies. After copying the copybook for an hour, he was really tired.

The eldest lady nodded hesitantly, "The academy will post a red list tomorrow. I'm afraid that your mood will be affected by the previous incident."

The fifth uncle said he wanted to make the decision for Xiaolang. Prefect Yu really sent someone to send an apology gift, but there was no news from the second house. The academy will release the results tomorrow, and the eldest lady is still afraid that the second house will make trouble.

Cheng Qing thought for a while, "It's better for my elder sister to go to the academy with me tomorrow to read the list. If you see it with your own eyes, you will feel at ease."

The eldest lady's eyes lit up, "Can I go?"

My uncle said that it was a place to learn the words of the saints, and it was not appropriate for the female family to go, but Xiaolang said that she could go, who should I listen to?

"Of course you can go. With me accompanying you, what are you afraid of? There is no need to avoid the small families in our family. Those daughters of wealthy families will also go out to burn incense and go to lantern festivals, and no one will blame them... Sister, if my brother-in-law's family is dissatisfied with such trivial matters in the future, then there is no need to wait for the other party to be picky. I will disagree with the marriage first."

Even Cheng Qing can't break free from the constraints of feudal ethics, but within her ability, Cheng Qing hopes that Liu and her three sisters can live a happier life.

Liu glared at Cheng Qing fiercely. No matter how this child spoke, the eldest lady was dissatisfied with her husband's future family. That was the eldest lady's uncle's family. If the eldest lady wanted to make a mistake, she would think Cheng Qing was sowing discord!

Cheng Qing pretended not to see the warning in Liu's eyes.

Although she was not deliberately provoking, she was really making foreshadowing.

The whole family has returned to Nanyi for more than three months, but the Qi family has not been moved.

Cheng Qing suspected that the other party not only did not want to admit the marriage, but also did not want to admit the relative of her family.

Cheng Zhiyuan's case is not finalized. Her family is like a mouse falling into a pit. Normal people will keep a distance. Cheng Qing actually understands it. But the eldest lady is the Qi family's granddaughter, so it is not difficult to send a servant to visit and care. After three months of no movement, Cheng Qing no longer has any hope for the Qi family.

The eldest lady has a lot of worries, which may also be related to this matter.

The Qi family may still be watching to see how the court will convict Cheng Zhiyuan.

程知远若无罪,大娘子和齐家表兄的婚约大概能照常进行吧……但到那时候,程卿却不愿意大娘子嫁去齐家,这话她现在不敢说,说出来柳氏可能要揍人,程卿决定走一步看一步,等齐家那边先表态!

Hearing that Cheng Qing was going to take the eldest lady to see the list, the third lady was eager to try, so Cheng Qing immediately promised to take the third sister out next time.

The three sisters all have a look, so it’s okay to take one out, but they are afraid of attracting the disciples with two Cheng Qings.

Liu actually spoiled all four children. The eldest lady was very happy to hear that she could go to the list, and Liu didn't stop her, but just asked the eldest lady to wear a hat.

The next morning, Cheng Qing got up early and the eldest lady was dressed up.

This time, Cheng Qing chose to take a boat.

The early morning river breeze blows up the gauze of the eldest lady's hat, and her good looks are looming, so the eldest lady is in a light mood.

Cheng Qing was happy when she saw that her elder sister was in a good mood.

The two of them took the boat to the foot of the mountain, but they came too early. There were many people surrounded by the notice board of the academy, waiting for the academy to post the red list.

Wherever Cheng Qing went, everyone avoided her, and everyone was unwilling to be with her.

The eldest lady saw it and was anxious in her heart, so Cheng Qing comforted her in turn:

"It's okay, my sister, no one has ever asked her for ten years. She will become famous all over the world. I'm not in a hurry."

Ten years of hard work have been too long, and Cheng Qing can't wait.

But now it is the first year, and Cheng Qing can still afford to wait.

Half an hour later, academy people came down the mountain to post the list. Nearly 100 people took the entrance examination this time, and less than ten were admitted, and Cheng Qing's name was among them!

"Xiaolang, you passed the exam!"

The eldest lady's tears were circling in her eyes, which was a manifestation of joy.

My father Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly passed away, and the pillars of the family fell. Everything after that went to a disadvantage. Cheng Qing was admitted to the academy and was the first happy event in his family!

Cheng Qing was also happy. Everything was difficult at the beginning. It took more than three months to take her to take the first step in the scientific examination.
Chapter completed!
