"Aunt, are we also included in our family's future plans?"
Cheng Jinyan asked puzzledly.
The exam is next month, and he wants to go back to his room to read.
"Why aren't we here? Aren't we from the Cheng family?"
Cheng Jinxing immediately refuted.
He didn't want to go back to his room to read. Although talking in the main room was boring, it was better than reading!
"Yeah, Jinxing is right. Jinyan, you're also a member of our Cheng family, so you're definitely included in the plan! I know you're going to take an exam next month, so don't be too nervous. Relax, eat and drink as you should, and attend family meetings seriously. You're so smart, you're sure to pass!"
Cheng Yue said to his eldest nephew.
Since she traveled through time and space to the Cheng family, she has been putting palm water in the well every day. Although this palm water cannot make Cheng Wen become a normal person immediately, it will make everyone's health better and make her two nephews who are studying have clearer thinking and better memory.
Her eldest nephew is a good student, a top student, and he works so hard. She thinks he has a great chance of passing the exam next month.
Cheng Jinyan is seventeen years old this year. He passed the Tongsheng exam last year. If he passes the exam in March this year, he will be a young scholar. Cheng Yue feels that their family will definitely be able to produce a scholar this year.
The imperial examination system of Da Qi was somewhat different from what Cheng Yue knew. In Da Qi, there was an examination in March and September every year. Those who passed the examination became Tongsheng, and those who passed Tongsheng became Xiucai.
After passing the examination to become a scholar, there will be spring and autumn examinations every three years.
Only scholars could participate in the Spring Examination. Those who passed were called Juren. The Autumn Examination was for Juren. Those who passed were called Jinshi. Then they could participate in the Palace Examination, and the top three would be selected and assigned positions.
This is somewhat similar to and different from the ancient imperial examination system that Cheng Yue knows about. However, she is a woman and did not need to take exams in ancient times.
Anyway, she knew that her eldest nephew passed the examination for the tongsheng degree, but her second nephew did not.
If my nephew can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar this year, he will be able to take part in the spring imperial examination held every three years next year. After passing the spring imperial examination, he will be able to take part in the autumn imperial examination.
The second nephew is unlucky. He will have to take the Tongsheng exam again next month. If he fails next month, he will have to take it again in the second half of the year. If he fails in the second half of the year, given his eldest sister-in-law's temper, she will force the second nephew to take the exam until he is at least twenty years old.
In other words, her second nephew still has four years of miserable days to go!
"Jinyan, listen to what your aunt said. You are the eldest grandson of our Cheng family. You are seventeen years old. It's time to understand the situation at home."
Cheng Shun also followed suit to persuade Cheng Jinyan.
Cheng Jinyan: "..."
I didn't say I wouldn't participate!
I just want to read a book!
"Okay, Ayue, tell me!"
Gu Xuelan asked Cheng Yue to continue.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you before that our snack stand can only last until mid-April at the latest? It's May now, the weather is getting hot, and I don't want to set up a stall under the scorching sun. I've been thinking about finding a new way to make money. Now that we have this idea, we can't wait until then to think about what to do. We have to do it now."
Cheng Yue said.
"It's okay! You're afraid of the sun, but I'm not!"
After listening to this, Jiang immediately said.
She still thought that this snack stall that earned fifteen taels of silver a day was very good.
They now set up their stall for an hour and a half every day, and she wants to make more and sell more.
