An eleven-year-old juren?
Are the Lu family’s genes so powerful?
"Changji, how old were you when you passed the imperial examination?"
"Eight years old!"
Su Sijin was astonished by her beauty. Eight years old? A genius. Lu Changji was a genius among geniuses.
"At what age did you pass the imperial examination?"
"Nine years old."
Su Sijin opened her mouth so wide that she could fit an egg in it.
At the age of nine, Su Sijin was scared to death.
Let her think about the good nine-year-old child still playing in the mud!
When he came to Lu Changji, he became a scholar at the age of eight and a juren at the age of nine.
Child prodigy, so amazing.
Not only is Lu Changji gifted in art, but he is also unexpectedly gifted in studying.
"Did your elder brother pass the imperial examination?" Su Sijin asked expectantly, stroking her belly.
"Well, my eldest brother passed the examination for scholar at the age of seven and passed the examination for juren at the age of eight, and he ranked first in both examinations." Lu Changji's face was full of pride and admiration when he talked about his eldest brother.
The seven-year-old scholar and the eight-year-old juren.
Are all the excellent genes in the Lu family?
Each one is better than the other, and each one is more amazing than the other.
It is incredible and enviable that the Lu family has produced two child prodigies in a row.
Some people tried to pass the examination to become a scholar until their hair turned white, some passed the examination to become a juren until they were gray-haired, and some even failed to pass the examination to become a scholar or a juren in their entire life.
The Lu family had two children who were both scholars and juren.
At that time, the Lu family was so eye-catching and dazzling.
However, Su Sijin searched every corner of her mind, but could not find any mention of the genius prodigy at that time.
Su Sijin touched her belly which had grown bigger with surprise, and couldn't help imagining that since her father and uncle were both child prodigies, the three little ones in her belly should not be too inferior.
Her requirements are not high, as long as she can remember everything she sees.
With the ability to remember everything he sees, there is no need to worry about not producing a few more talented child prodigies.
The more Su Sijin thought about it, the happier she became. However, when she heard about what happened to Lu Changji, she controlled her emotions.
"When I dragged my sick body to the examination hall, I wanted to follow in my elder brother's footsteps, even though I was carried out every time."
Su Sijin comforted him with a few words, and praised and affirmed him a few words.
Lu Changji smiled shyly, patted his chest with great ambition, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I'm a member of the Lu family."
The three words "Lu Jiazi" came out of his mouth with full of pride.
Su Sijin looked at him with a smile, "You're not doing business anymore?"
She still remembered that not long ago, Lu Changji told her with certainty that he wanted to be an imperial merchant, the richest man in Dai Viet and even in the world.
The bold words are still ringing in my ears. Has Lu Changji changed his mind and decided to take the imperial examination?
Su Sijin smiled. Children just have a lot of ideas, and they have a new idea every now and then.
"My ideal hasn't changed, but that won't stop me from taking the imperial examination. I'll try to become the top scorer first, and then come back to join my sister-in-law in business."
Lu Changji didn't feel that there was any conflict between doing business and taking the imperial examination.
"Is it so easy to get the top score? You're just joking? Just say it in front of me, but don't say it outside."
Lu Changji stuck out his tongue and said, "Sister-in-law, I know."
"Even if you pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, will the emperor allow you to return to business? Since ancient times, merchants have been ranked at the bottom of the hierarchy. Perhaps there is a place for you in the court."
Even a fool would not choose to give up being an official appointed by the court, but Lu Changji was obviously a fool. He chose to be a low-ranking businessman.
"Because my father hoped that one of us three brothers would pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. My eldest brother, as the eldest son, has inherited our father's true teachings and is a top-notch soldier."
"Big brother, the reason why you took the imperial examination was, firstly, to verify your own strength, and secondly, to stop others from speculating and slandering our Lu family. If you continue to take the exam, how can a mere top scholar in literature stump you?"
The smile on Su Sijin's lips faded a little, and she felt sorry for the responsibilities Lu Changgong had to bear since he was a child.
"My second brother is a martial arts champion. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely become a powerful general in the future."
"The top scholar in literature that my father has always dreamed of, I cannot go down to the future and not be able to face him directly. Therefore, I must take the imperial examination, even if I don't want to be an official."
"Changji, well done. Sister-in-law supports you. Go and take the imperial examination, then go and explore the world."
The eleven-year-old Lu Changji already had such profound ideas. Su Sijin felt inferior to him but also very proud.
"Then you can go with Master Jiang and the others!" At least there will be someone to look after you.
Lu Changji agreed. He knew what was good and what was bad as long as it could make his family feel at ease.
"Little Tiger, are you taking him with you?" Little Tiger Su Sinian is already six years old, and it's time to put his studies on the agenda.
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Huzi's talent for studying is no worse than mine. If you guide and train him well, he might become a powerful official."
Su Sijin laughed, it turned out that Lu Changji had already made plans!
"What's your implication? Why don't you tell me?"
"I want to take him to the capital. My brother and I have teachers there. I want to ask them to give little Tiger some lessons and help him solve his problems."
Su Sijin naturally had no objection, Lu Changgong and Lu Changji's teacher!
The two child prodigies under his tutelage must have excellent knowledge and insights.
At present, Su Sijin has no plans to go to Beijing, but in the future, her children will most likely be sent to Beijing to study.
"Your starting point is good, and you are thinking about Xiao Huzi, but Chang Ji still needs to consult Xiao Huzi first. If he disagrees, don't force it."
Su Sinian is still young. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to go to the capital to study in the next two or three years. He can go to school with Su Jinse and her brother.
If Xiaohuzi is willing, she will of course agree with both hands. After all, not everyone has talent.
"I'll prepare some things. Come to me tomorrow to get them before you set off."
After Su Sijin finished speaking, her consciousness had already entered the space, looking for something to bring back for Lu Changji.
For example, detoxification pills, typhoid medicine, trauma medicine, spiritual spring water, and some of his favorite foods.
If the spring examination goes well, the palace examination will be in April and I should be able to go home in May.
Su Sijin had already planned how much stuff to bring.
After Lu Changji left, Su Sijin called Zheng Jie and Peng and told them what food to prepare.
While waiting for Lu Changgong to come back at night, Su Sijin told him Lu Changji's thoughts.
"Changji is a man with his own ideas. Once he has made up his mind, he will follow through with his plan. Even if he passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar, he will not become an official."
Su Sijin really wanted to say, this number one scholar is...
As if he could see Su Sijin's regret, Lu Changgong smiled and hugged her in his arms, comforting her: "Changji is smart. Even if he doesn't become an official, a royal doctor, or does not do things according to the rules, he will do his best in everything he does."
I don't know what Lu Changgong was thinking about, but he smiled very meanly. "Changji is committed to becoming the richest man in the world. I think it should be achievable. In the future, my wife and I won't have to bow down for five taels of silver. Isn't that good?"
Su Sijin laughed and scolded: "You are embarrassed to let your brother raise you, but I am embarrassed. My child cannot do such a thing as sucking the blood of his uncle..."
