Su Jingshu, who was in class, glanced out the window. Gu Mama, who had been waiting outside, quickly brought in a small cloak and draped it over Ningbao's shoulders.
Ningbao, who was rubbing her nose, was stunned. Her hair was already wet with sweat from sleeping, so why did the nanny still cover her with a cloak?
Is this punishment for her not studying properly in class?
Actually, Su Jingshu and Granny Gu were just worried that Ningbao would catch a cold.
Under Mu Chengye's insistence, Shen Yuzhen had no choice but to compromise.
On the Shen family's side, Liu Qingru was also packing things for her youngest son. Shen Sijian had gone to join the army, while Shen Sikang was studying medicine with Bai Ming and going to school at the academy.
Shen Sikang also participated in this year's preliminary examination for the imperial examination, a fact that puzzled his mother, Liu Qingru.
"Kang'er, haven't you been learning medicine from Doctor Bai?"
"Why bother participating in scientific expeditions when you can just become a doctor?"
Kang pondered for a moment,
"Mother, studying medicine is just a hobby of mine. I haven't decided yet whether I want to become a professional doctor like my master in the future."
I asked my master, and he said he doesn't force me to become a doctor. He would support me if I wanted to take the imperial examinations.
My older brother has joined the army now. I don't want to live a mediocre life. Even if I don't become an official, it will still be beneficial to pass the imperial examinations.
If I become an official in the future, I can support my elder brother, one in civil affairs and the other in military affairs.
Liu Qingru was very pleased to hear what her son had to say.
She looked at her youngest son with a meaningful expression.
"Sikang, you're still young, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
As long as you try your best, that's all that matters. You're still young, and no matter what the outcome of this preliminary examination is, I hope you can take it in stride.
We must neither be arrogant nor discouraged; just be down-to-earth and do our best in everything.
Kang nodded in thought.
"Yes, Mother, I understand."
The next morning, Chuyun Village became lively.
All the usable donkey carts, horse carts, and oxcarts in the village were harnessed.
Because there were many children taking the exam, teachers Chen Boyu and Xu Qingbin also went along to see them off.
Ning Bao got up very early in the morning. She watched Mu Chunping hitching up the cart.
"Dad, I want to go with you to take my brothers to their exams."
Mu Chunping quickly shook his head.
"no.
During the preliminary examinations for the imperial examinations, the county town will definitely be crowded, and with so many people, trouble is bound to happen.
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep an eye on you!
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.
"Dad, Ningbao will be very good, there's no need to watch."
Don't you always say that Ningbao is a little lucky charm?
I'll go with my brothers to their exams; who knows, maybe it'll bring them good luck.
Mu Chunping never had the heart to refuse his daughter's requests, but he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to take good care of her on his own.
Li Guizhi looked at her son, whose face was full of conflict.
"Chunping, what's there to be conflicted about? If Ningbao wants to go, just take her."
If you're worried about not being able to take good care of her, then bring your wife with you.
Your wife hasn't been to the market since you arrived here.
This is a good opportunity to do some shopping; we're not short of money for hotels anyway.
To be honest, I feel more at ease with Ningbao by my side.
Although Ningbao is young, she is clever and quick-witted, and with her by her side, everything turns out well.
Besides, the child is still young and at that playful age; taking her out to play is a good thing.
Upon hearing his mother's words, Mu Chunping hurriedly ran to the backyard to find his wife.
