Chapter 12 Godly Teammate
Seeing Zhulan was upset, Zhou Shuren hummed in confusion, but he felt uncomfortable because he didn't speak. He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhulan whispered the background of the time travel. Now that she has a great teammate, it would be easier for her to stay away from the supporting role and change her fate. Although she didn't finish reading it, she did have some knowledge of the story, and this information is very important.
The corner of Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched. He also read novels, but they were all about immortal heroes. He had never read any female novels. Even though he had never read them, he understood the general idea. The protagonist had an immortal halo, a physique that attracted misfortunes, and troubles were everywhere around him. These were the laws!
He really didn't expect that his little girl was the original heroine, and the whole family was cannon fodder. He pondered for a while, "When I get better, I will study at home peacefully, pick up all the books, and strive to pass the examination as a scholar as soon as possible. At least only after becoming a scholar can I take the formal examination."
Zhulan smiled, "From what you said, you're not sure if you can pass the test even if it's your first time."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, "Do you think it's easy to pass the exam? Do you know that the exam is held twice every three years, and the average number of people who pass each time is only four or five vacancies per county. How many people are stuck as a student for their entire lives!"
Zhulan was surprised, "Is it really that difficult to pass the test?"
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Not only is it difficult, the examination for the scholar is divided into three tests: the county test, the prefectural test, and the academy test. Each test has four to five sessions, and the content includes eight-part essays, poetry, and policy essays. Just memorizing hundreds of thousands of words is enough. Do you think it is difficult?"
Zhulan hissed and took a breath of cool air. Hundreds of thousands of words of pure classical Chinese. To her, the classical Chinese examinations were all about rote memorization. She had never really absorbed and understood everything. Now she could remember very little. It turned out that it was so difficult to pass the scholar exam. She saw people passing the scholar exam every time she watched TV dramas, so she thought it wasn't difficult!
Zhulan lost confidence instantly and couldn't help asking, "Have you studied all the content for the test? Do you remember it?"
Zhou Shuren could keep his face straight and naturally wouldn't say anything. It was impossible for him to remember everything. His brain wasn't a computer. "So I have to study hard. Doesn't Kangxi have a set of books that must be memorized 120 times? I think it's pretty good. It suits me very well now."
Zhulan couldn't help but shudder. Let alone a hundred and twenty times, she would feel impatient after reading it once. Suddenly, she felt that Zhou Shuren had become pleasing to the eye. This man was also fighting for her.
"I fully support your studies. If you want to buy any books, just let me know and I'll give you the money."
Speaking of money, Zhulan becomes even more proud, because she controls the family's finances!
The original husband had no idea about the financial power. He was a good person, but not flexible enough and sometimes a bit stubborn. After the mother-in-law passed away, the family fortune was directly handed over to Zhulan.
Zhulan recalled the family background of her original body and felt more confident.
Seeing Zhulan's expression changing, Zhou Shuren couldn't help but recall his original memory. His original self really didn't know his family's financial situation. He only knew that their life was better than in the village, but not much better. But judging from Zhulan's appearance, her family's financial situation was not what she saw on the surface.
Zhou Shuren's eyes flickered, "It costs a lot to buy books. People always say that scholars are poor because it costs a lot to support a scholar. The books are the biggest expense, not to mention the pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Then there are the exam fees and hotel fees. In my original memory, I don't know much about my family background. You should also tell me the truth. I am not the only one in my family who is taking the exam. I also want to know whether I should think of a way to make some money first."
Zhulan was satisfied that Zhou Shuren asked directly without testing her. At least they had some trust in each other. She cleared her throat and was about to talk about the family background when Li came over and said, "Mom, dinner is ready."
