Chapter 444 Buying Cloth
The imperial examination system of the Great Chang Kingdom underwent several reforms, with the latest system naturally being established by Emperor Minghua.

After passing the preliminary examination, one becomes a Xiucai; after passing the provincial examination, one becomes a Juren; after passing the metropolitan examination, one becomes a Jinshi; and after passing the palace examination, one is ranked among the top three.

Whether it was the preliminary examination or the provincial examination, only the scores mattered, regardless of the number of candidates.

The exam papers are jointly prepared by neighboring states and counties, and the weight of the questions and the content covered are determined by decree two months before the exam each year.

The official in charge of delivering the imperial edict would send people to supervise the local state and county officials. The process of setting the questions, conducting the exams, collecting the papers, grading, and publishing the results would be supervised until the entire exam was successfully completed.

During the examination period, the official delivering the imperial edict held the edict and could supervise the prefectures and counties, transcending all official ranks, thus possessing immense power.

Therefore, being the official who delivers imperial edicts is considered a lucrative position.

All candidates who achieve the approved score will be admitted and qualified for further examinations.

Do not add people if there are too few, and do not reduce the number if there are too many.

Therefore, during this period, the candidates were happy to help each other within the limits of what was possible.

This includes sharing various exam information.

If it costs money, then that's a different story.

Besides Wang Liulang, Wang Sanlang, Wang Silang, Wang Wulang, and Wang Qilang all reluctantly took out their silver to buy a copy from Wang Erlang and took it back to make a copy.

Wang Wulang had previously planned to take out half of the silver and copy it from Wang Sanlang after Wang Sanlang finished copying it.

While Wang Sanlang was copying, Wang Wulang told him about it.

Wang Sanlang immediately agreed: "That would be great, then I could save half!"

Then Wang Erlang suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said quietly, "You should know that the content of this exam is so important that a small mistake can lead to a huge error. If you copy one part wrong, the meaning may be completely different, and someone who could have gotten a high score might get a zero. Your spirit of sharing is good, but if you copy it wrong later and want to borrow my copy to check it again, that won't work."

After saying this, Wang Sanlang immediately covered the test paper and said to Wang Wulang, "Go away, go away, wait in line, don't delay me from copying! You're just not focused on the right thing. If you put this focus on studying, why would you not do well on the test?"

Wang Wulang: "I..."

How come I never noticed before that Third Brother is so cunning?!
Wang Silang and Wang Qilang, who were hiding in the back, exchanged a glance, pretended that they had never been to this place, and silently left.

Wang Erlang walked away with his hands behind his back, concealing his merits and fame.

Little Ayu witnessed the whole thing and couldn't help but giggle, only to find that her brothers had a good relationship.

"Luckily, I don't have to take the exam, which saves me a lot of money. I'll use the money I save to buy fabric for my mother and the others!" Little Ayu thought to herself, and immediately ran to the fabric store to start picking out fabric.

Inside the space, Tuanzi saw that Xiao Ayu didn't take the matter to heart, closed the book "Establishing Children's Values ​​- Sincerity and Diligence Are Essential", and patted her chest in a humane way.

Thankfully, the kid hasn't gone astray yet.

If she gets turned into a cunning little devil by those older brothers, she'll have nowhere to turn for help.

Just then, Xiao Ayu and the cloth shop owner were pulling on a piece of cloth, one pulling on one end and the other on the other.

The fabric shop owner said with a long face, "Can't you be a little more straightforward when buying things from your shop? I've already told you the most affordable price!"

Little Ayu puffed out her cheeks and grinned, "Grandpa Shopkeeper, please don't lie to me! I heard it all just now. That auntie bought a bolt of cloth, and you gave her half a bolt for free. I don't want that half bolt, so just give me a discount of half a bolt."

The fabric shop owner said, "The fabric I'm giving you isn't the best; it's a badly cut piece. How can it compare? If you want some, I'll give you some scraps too."

Xiao Ayu let go, and the cloth shopkeeper stumbled backward, barely managing to grab the cloth.

Before the triumphant smile could even bloom on his face, he saw Xiao Ayu holding Tangyuan's hand and striding out.

As she walked, she kept turning her head to look at him and said loudly, "Sister Tangyuan, let's walk a little further and go to Ge's Cloth Shop. They not only offer lower prices, but they also give away cloth, scraps of cloth, and even a hair accessory! I'll never come to that shady shop again!"

Xiao Ayu was a celebrity in town, and her words caused many people to stop in front of the shop.

Was it Wang's little lucky baby who said that?

That's very likely true.

Immediately, everyone adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

The shopkeeper cursed inwardly, but still managed a bright smile as he carried the fabric toward Xiao Ayu: "Hey, Ayu, what are you saying? Didn't we agree to give you a hair accessory too? I have some new fabric here that can make really pretty hair accessories that the Ge family doesn't have!"

Little Ayu turned her head, grinned at the cloth shop owner, revealing two rows of clean and neat teeth.

Hidden in the shadows, Red Hare and Red Serpent gazed at each other from afar, both seeing a sudden realization in each other's eyes.
