Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

After Gu Yao returned to the private school, she was warmly welcomed by her classmates. Qian Xiumin looked at her and said jokingly, "Ayao, why did you come back so soon? Aren't you at home with your two husbands? These few days are your good days. You and Ayang are the only two of you who have married, and they haven't yet."

Wang Yang laughed out loud when he heard this: "Then you better hurry up. If you don't go and marry me, I wonder what you'll do."

Gu Yao was helpless: "I have no choice. After all, I don't want to be assigned by the government. Oh, by the way, we are going to take the imperial examination soon. Are you ready? We must pass the examination in one go, even if it means being a Tongsheng."

Wang Yang opened his fan and fanned for a while: "I am ready. This student is in my pocket. If I can't even pass the exam after studying for so many years, I'd better go home and farm."

They want to study because, after all, fame and honor mean power, and they will be respected wherever they go. If they become an official, wouldn't they have everything?

Although they are not so noble, for Wang Yang, studying and becoming an official is her lifelong ambition.

Before the scientific expedition, Gu Yao only went back once. After all, she had a family now and was not single like before.

She was a little embarrassed to marry so many husbands, but every time she married one, she would treat him with care.

After spending a day at home, I returned to the private school and worked even harder.

She had heard Gu's mother say before that she was going to perform corvée labor. After all, this was something that no farmer could escape. Unless there was a scholar in the family who could be exempted from corvée labor, otherwise it would happen every year.

Her mother said that in the past, when corvée labor was severe, people would even die, and the government only paid a small amount of compensation afterwards. But the life is gone, so what’s the use of having money?

The corvée labor this year was not that severe, but after all, her mother was already so old, so I told her at the time that she should still pay for it. Now that the family has a little money, we can still afford it.

After hearing about the forced labor, Gu Yao worked even harder. Even Wang Yang and the others were stunned. They didn't expect that their sister could be so stubborn.

Under Gu Yao's leadership, the other three people were the same as her, either doing their homework or exercising.

Master Li was very happy, as this meant that there might be more students in her private school.

She would also like to think about having a few scholars. If there were more scholars, her private school would be praised by the county magistrate.

Time quickly arrived for the county examination. Master Li also warned the students of the private school to rest well because they would be going to the county town tomorrow.

Mother Gu had already planned to come tomorrow, and she wanted to accompany Gu Yao.

Gu Yao is the only girl in their family and the hope of their family. Of course, they don’t want her to encounter any problems during the scientific examination.

At night, when Gu Yao was about to go to bed, she found that Wang Yang was still reading a book.

"Sister Wang, let's go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Wang Yang raised his head and said nervously: "Ah Yao, are you nervous? I am very nervous. What if I fail the exam? My mother said that I must pass the exam to become a Tongsheng, otherwise I will be beaten when I go back."

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Wang. With your ability, you will definitely pass the exam. Maybe you can even pass the exam to become a scholar. After all, you work so hard, and even the teacher praises you. How could you fail the exam? Don't worry about it. Go to bed quickly or you will be tired tomorrow."

Gu Yao's voice was very gentle, and her soothing words made Wang Yang's heart calm a lot.

"Then I'll go to sleep. You're right. If I don't have enough energy, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep in the exam room. It's better to go to sleep quickly."

I slept all night and the next day I heard from the doorman that Gu's mother had arrived.

After breakfast, Master Li took them to the county town to register. Fortunately, Gu's mother had already given her household registration to Gu Yao, so their registration went smoothly.

Gu Yao was surprised to hear that three generations had to be checked. No wonder people said that imperial examinations were not easy in ancient times.

After all, if you have been a bandit or a pariah within three generations, you will not be able to take the imperial examination even if you have escaped from the status of a pariah.

In the Dream of the Red Chamber, the grandson of Nanny Lai was able to become an official, which should have been due to the help of Rongguo Mansion. After all, their family had been slaves for generations, so the family was able to become rich thanks to Rongguo Mansion.

However, their dynasty was not so bad. Even common people could take the imperial examinations. Merchants in this era could not take the examinations, but at least merchants within the five generations of mourning could take the examinations, so the imperial court did not make this stage too strict.

After registering, she paid your teacher another tael of silver. After all, she had to take the exam to be a scholar as a guarantor. Only now did she remember that although some people called scholars sour scholars, they were not too poor.

Every year, if you act as a guarantor for someone taking the imperial examination, you can earn money for each person. If there are six people, you can earn 6 taels.

This amount can be used as the expenses for a whole family, so as long as you have citizens, you cannot be poor even if you want to.

Moreover, a scholar can open a private school. Her family's Master Li was a scholar. Look at the students in her private school. They can earn a lot of money.

So she thought that if she was lucky enough to become an official, that would be great. If she was not lucky enough to become a scholar or a juren, or if she could never pass the exam again in the future, then she also planned to open a private school.

After all, she can't just starve to death, and she also wants her family to live a good life.

After they registered, before they even entered, Master Li carefully reminded them of the rules inside and asked them to write them down properly.

Looking at Gu Yao, he said, "Ayao, you can't be careless. This is a critical moment. If you pass the examination to become a Tongsheng, your family will have hope. If you can pass the examination to become a Xiucai, your family will have a better life in the future."

I, Master Li, only know that the Gu family is the poorest among these students, so I am looking forward to Gu Yao being able to pass the imperial examination.

Before, Gu Yao was a bit of a spendthrift and always drank, so she didn't have much hope for her. But she has changed a lot during this period of time and is getting married, so naturally, she hopes that she can pass the imperial examinations.

Listening to Master Li's words, Gu Yao said respectfully: "Yes, Master, I will study hard and will not let you down."

Mother Gu nodded immediately: "Yes, Master, A Yaoyi has changed a lot now, and has become more motivated."

Master Li naturally knew Gu Yao's basic situation and was very satisfied with her. The next day, they lined up to enter the examination room.

They watched as the yamen runners inside checked their examination baskets very carefully, and even went through their clothes and hair, for fear that they would cheat.

Gu Yao knew why cheating was rare in ancient times, but there was no shortage of cheating. However, once cheating was discovered, the offender would be banned from taking imperial examinations for life, and would even be fined and beaten with a stick.

Those who have achieved honors may even have their honors revoked, which is really too miserable, so those who usually cheat are those who are too daring.
