Chapter 141 The Only Man
but
For those who are truly capable, everything is possible.
Thinking of this, she suggested: "If you are really worried, you can let Yan You accompany you once. On the one hand, this will make you feel more at ease; on the other hand, next time when he wants to take the imperial examination, he will know how to prepare."
Yan You is currently staying at home, studying hard and reviewing his knowledge. Relatively speaking, he has more free time.
Originally, Shu Yanyou should have taken the exam this year, but because his uncle Shu Changqi passed away, he had to postpone the exam and could only wait until the next round.
Shu Yanyou nodded in agreement and said, "I'm willing to go with my uncle."
He also felt happy at the thought of being able to go out and see the world.
As for his pregnant wife at home, Shu Yanyou was thoughtful and planned to ask his mother-in-law to come and help take care of her.
This way, you don’t have to worry about things at home.
There are many people and things to do in the Tang family, so Tang's mother always feels uncomfortable at home.
A few days ago, the Tang family sent someone to pick up Tang's mother. Tang Jianxi mentioned that it seemed that the Tang family had encountered some troubles again.
Tang Jianxi was very worried about her mother.
Even though her mother didn't cause any problems, she was always the one to solve these difficult issues.
However, if he wanted Tang's mother to come and accompany Tang Jianxi, he needed to discuss this matter with his wife Zhao Chunhua.
After all, this is a big thing in the family.
Zhao Yunfeng was about to refuse, but he swallowed the words back.
If he was just asked to accompany her on this trip, he would have refused without hesitation.
But the situation this time was different. Zhao Chunhua gave him a reason that was difficult to refuse - his nephew had just lost his father, and he should lend a helping hand as much as possible when he could.
Although Shu Yanyou may have a harder time during the journey, he will have to go through the same examination journey sooner or later.
Experiencing this tense and challenging atmosphere in advance will be of great benefit to future formal exams, as it will prevent Shu Yanyou from appearing to be flustered at the time.
In the end, it was agreed that Zhao Yunfeng would take his son Zhao Yicheng and Shu Yanyou to take the exam together, so that they could take care of each other and help each other solve problems when they encountered difficulties.
The time for the provincial examination was set for the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which was actually not too far away.
After submitting the registration procedures at the county government office, they can officially begin preparing to set off.
This is an important journey and you must not put it off until the last minute.
Zhao Chunhua sighed, she realized that she had to work harder to paint to earn money for the trip.
After all, this exam is of great significance to them and does not allow for any negligence or slackness.
Zhao Chunhua planned to go to the town to urge the tailor shop to make Shu Yanyou's cloak as soon as possible.
The trip is expected to take two months, from August to October in the lunar calendar, and the weather will have turned much cooler by the time we return.
In order to ensure that you don't catch a cold on the road, it is very necessary to keep warm.
After playing with Xiao Shitou for a while, Zhao's mother felt obviously tired, so Shu Changle quickly helped her back to the room to rest.
This is exactly why Zhao Yunfeng decided to fight in person this year.
Seeing that his parents' health was deteriorating, and the provincial examination was only held every three years, if he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait another three years.
For him, such a wait was too long and too extravagant.
Zhao Chunhua brought Shu Yanyou back home.
They came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything.
While on the way, Zhao Chunhua kept reminding Shu Yanyou to come to their house more often and learn some preparations for the exam.
She also specifically reminded him that if he encountered something he didn't understand during the preparation process, he must ask others for help in time.
The imperial examination is not only labor-intensive, but also requires a large amount of financial support. Naturally, minimizing the number of examinations is the best option.
Zhang Daniu still remembered this, so he expressed to Zhao Chunhua his wish to invite Tang's mother to his home to accompany Bai Youcai.
Zhao Chunhua did not raise any objection to this proposal, but only reminded Zhang Daniuyou that he should prepare some more generous gifts when he came to make the request to show his sincerity and respect.
No matter how many right and wrongs, grudges and hatreds have happened in the Tang family, since Tang's mother was able to live in Zhao Chunhua's house for more than ten days, there should be no major problems if she stays for a few more days.
The most important thing is to prevent Bai Youcai, who is pregnant, from being worried about this matter all day long. This kind of constant worry is very bad for her physical and mental health and the baby in her belly.
In order to make it easier for Zhang Daniu to act while he was still outside, Zhao Chunhua specially took out two silver ingots from home and gave them to him in case of emergency.
Faced with his mother's well-intentioned gift, although Zhang Daniu was a little hesitant, he still planned to politely decline it.
However, when his eyes met Zhao Chunhua's and he felt her determination and trust, he finally accepted the two heavy silver ingots silently.
Obviously, in some situations, going against the wishes of a loved one can be extremely difficult.
"Now that your father has passed away, as the only man in the family, you must start to learn to take on family responsibilities. Your love of learning is of course a very good habit, and I will continue to support your interests; but at the same time, you should also understand that people cannot just bury their heads in books, but also need to know how to deal with all aspects of daily life."
Zhao Chunhua's tone was full of gentleness yet firm strength as she educated her son seriously.
If Zhao Chunhua only studied classics without caring about trivial matters at home, she probably wouldn't be so tolerant and generous towards her son.
In many stories and legends of the past, the scenes that made her most angry were those people who seemed to be working in isolation, only caring about studying hard and ignoring family affairs.
Such people often rely entirely on the meticulous care of their elders or other relatives at home.
It would be acceptable if they were able to realize their self-worth by passing the imperial examinations and give back to the society and relatives who raised them; but those who, once they had achieved some success, became carried away and ruthlessly abandoned their parents, spouses, and children, only caring about their own happiness, were simply unforgivable evil deeds in her eyes.
Unfortunately, such examples are not uncommon in reality.
Hearing these words, Zhang Daniu nodded slightly, and a feeling of over-protection welled up in his heart.
Since his father left, he has to make all the decisions in the family by himself.
