Chapter 146 High Reputation
Therefore, she believes that bills that are more convenient to carry and easier to keep are safer than cash.
After all, the three of them are traveling together this time, and they have a total of thirty taels of money, which should be enough to cope with the needs of this journey.
This expense was entirely incurred because Zhao Chunhua took the initiative to help everyone arrange the itinerary, so she had to bear the cost herself.
However, if I were to take the imperial examination again next time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to receive such generous funding.
When Zhao Chunhua opened the small wooden box used to store gold, silver and jewelry, and looked at the small treasury with some contents missing, she couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.
So he quickly closed the box again, fearing that if he looked at it a few more times he would become reluctant to spend money.
At dawn the next day, without having time to ask others about the outcome of Shu Ziying's blind date, Zhao Chunhua entrusted the small stone to a trustworthy family, and then hurried to the agreed place, ready to go and deal with business.
After slightly adjusting the day's schedule, Zhao Chunhua went to visit Zhao Chunliang's home with gifts in hand.
It turned out that today was Zhao Yiyue's birthday, and she came here specially to celebrate her child's birthday.
Zhao Chunhua spent a lot of time thinking about what gift to give.
In the end, I gave up the idea of continuing to select books for my children.
Although in the Zhao family, no matter what their personal talents are, everyone can basically read and write.
Even so, giving books as gifts on special occasions such as birthdays seems
Not quite appropriate.
Therefore, Zhao Chunhua decided to make a bracelet by herself, and also bought two extra cakes that the children loved.
Since today is to celebrate the birth of the younger generation, Zhao Chunliang did not take everyone back to his hometown to celebrate.
The whole family can save themselves from the hassle of running around and simply setting up some delicious food in their city home can be considered a simple and warm party for the children.
Qiao Mingyan also arrived early to help with the preparations. She came to the scene early and worked carefully and meticulously for the upcoming party.
The little birthday boy Zhao Yiyue seemed extremely happy to see his aunt Zhao Chunhua coming.
Zhao Yiyue quickly threw herself into her aunt's arms, her excitement beyond words.
Zhao Chunhua is gentle and considerate, and always cares for children.
Whether it is a festival or some details in daily life, she can give meticulous care.
"Your daughter's comprehension is still developing."
Zhao Chunliang looked at his sister interacting intimately with the child and slowly began to explain.
He has his own unique understanding of education and knows that it is crucial to give proper attention and guidance to children of this age.
At the same time, this sentence also seems to reveal a hint of beautiful expectations for the future development of his descendants.
When meeting a friend you have never met, "Third sister-in-law, Fourth sister-in-law."
The eldest brother, as the head of the family, was the first to break the brief awkward atmosphere and greeted the two new friends in his gentle and slightly respectful voice.
This is not just a courtesy, but more of a hope to deepen the ties and friendships between families.
Everyone sat down to chat, forming a circle to enjoy this rare family gathering moment. Soon, the topic naturally turned to the recent situation of family members: "I heard that you plan to let your eldest son follow his brother to the provincial capital?"
Among the crowd, Qiao Mingyan, who was always known for her straightforwardness, was the first to ask the question.
Her words were full of curiosity and a bit of worry.
Although there are only students but no scholars in each young generation now, this situation does not affect Qiao Mingyan's vision for the future - she longs to see the next generation pass the imperial examination and realize the family's glory as soon as possible.
"yes!"
She added: “It would be great if we could train a few talented people to come out.”
Zhao Chunhua nodded and said, "Indeed. This is a good opportunity to help your eldest son gain some knowledge and broaden his horizons. At the same time, I also hope that your family has a close relationship with the escort agency, so you can help find a trustworthy business team to ensure the safety of this trip!"
Even a rational and steady person like her dare not take the issue of children's safety lightly.
The other party immediately agreed: "Of course. After all, we have frequent dealings with those escort agencies, and I believe they will ensure that this trip goes smoothly."
This is not only based on the consideration of mutual benefit in business dealings, but also an expression of trust based on the deep emotional foundation between relatives and friends.
When talking about the road to the imperial examination, Qiao Mingyan sighed: "I sincerely hope that there will be more successful people in our family!"
Although she knows that the road to success is never smooth and easy, she still firmly believes that she will achieve her goal through unremitting efforts.
Moreover, although her parents' family is economically better off than her husband's family, she also has a certain voice and influence in her hometown because there are many outstanding talents gathered here.
After training the first student, it will become slightly easier to train more successors.
The Zhao family has set a precedent to prove that the path of education is feasible - since they began to strictly supervise their children's learning progress every day, several students have emerged from the family, and their grades are gradually improving.
This alone made the Zhao family a highly respected figure in the countryside, even attracting young students from neighboring villages and towns to come and seek advice.
Among the neighbors, this has almost become an open secret - if you want your children to make a difference in their future careers, the guidance of the Zhao family is indispensable.
Overall, the outlook seems bright.
Everyone in the village feels that the Zhao family not only has a high reputation now, but also has the potential for continued development in the future.
However, only by reaching a certain level can one be considered to have truly entered the official career, and Qiao Mingyan knew this very well.
She deeply hopes that she will soon see a few talented people in the new generation of the family who are formally recognized for their merits, so as to continue to support and extend this hard-earned glory.
"These children are very smart," Qiao Mingyan said with some pride and expectation, "and several of them are preparing to take the county exam this year. I believe that it won't be long before someone will be able to pass the exam."
In that era, the status of the provincial capital was roughly equivalent to today's municipality.
There, major examinations are held twice every three years, covering a deeper and broader range of knowledge from literary talent to state governance.
"I hope so."
Qiao Mingyan sighed with a hint of helplessness. She knew very well that it was not easy to obtain the title of Jinshi.
