The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

However, plans cannot keep up with changes, and the group of nine tribes did not stay in Zhigu for a few days.

Before Shen Youyou's pearl breeding base had a clear goal, the new emperor's decree to open an imperial examination was announced.

Because the dynasty was divided over the years, even though four princes were in power, none of them sat on the throne, and the imperial examinations were suspended for ten years.

It is said that the imperial examinations were reopened when the South was founded. After the new emperor of Northern Yan ascended the throne, the imperial examinations were suspended for many years.

Or the students who were always preparing for the imperial examination began to wait for the examination to be reopened. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were waiting impatiently. Among them, Shen Zhiqiu was probably the only exception.

The nine clans received the news in advance, so they rushed back to Kyoto overnight.

In fact, according to Shen Zhiqiu, even if the imperial examination is held, it will not be until the spring of next year. There are still a few months to prepare now, so there is no need to be nervous.

But the elders in the tribe refused to do so, and there was no other way around it. On the day the notice was posted, all the elders from the nine tribes gathered in the Nine Tribes Supermarket in Shuntian Prefecture, Kyoto, before it opened.

It’s surprising that the person involved, Shen Zhiqiu, as well as his wife, daughter and eldest son, were not there.

In the words of Master Shen, "Little Third Son, there's no need to delay you. The matter of the Zhigu workshop has been delayed for several days. Now we must seize every hour to prepare for the imperial examination."

Look, even Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu were not allowed to go and watch the fun. In the words of the old men, they were to stay at home to accompany Shen Zhiqiu in his studies, and they had to eat and drink well and be served well.

Shen Zhiqiu even curled his lips secretly after hearing this. He was already a little scared of the imperial examination, and now he was even more nervous.

Without further ado, let's talk about the supermarket. Recently, Mrs. Hua hasn't come to the supermarket for a few days. Originally, when she came, she would be very busy.

I guess she has to check everything inside and out herself, and verify the accounts and everything. After all, the old lady can recognize a lot of words now.

But the old lady really had no intention of going in. She just kept walking around in circles in the store. Several groups of supermarket servants had been sent out to gather information.

In fact, if the old lady was not still worried about me, because I was the wife of the loyal and righteous Lord, I would have gone to wait in front of the yamen.

Isn't it just constantly saying: having an identity is not good, people are not free, they can't do whatever they want, and they can't lose face.

Old Man Shen, who was always muttering, was originally very calm, but he would stand at the door of the supermarket and look out from time to time.

It was almost time for the supermarket to open, but the girls didn't dare to ask whether it would still be open as usual today.

The main thing is to see that all the old men and women of the host family have gathered together, and each of them either looks anxious or pretends to be calm.

Fortunately, just when the brave Bingyue couldn't help but want to ask, her brother Huaixu came running back with sweat all over his forehead. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that one of his shoes was lost, which showed how anxious he was.

She was still breathless when she spoke: "Nude, it's sticking...it's sticking out."

Old Mrs. Hua suddenly stopped hesitating, and the old men wiped the tea off their hands and suddenly stood up.

The maids were so frightened that they immediately stepped forward to support her, fearing that she would become dazed and get bumped into something.

“Is it really posted?”

This is Mr. Shen who feels like he is hallucinating.

"It's really posted. There's a long list of exam dates on it. I can't remember them all. There are a few Zhongshangs behind me who are still trying to remember them."

Huai Xu wanted to say that he would come back to inform them first to save the old man and the old lady from waiting anxiously.

But the most impatient old lady Hua no longer cared about anything and rushed out at a trot, followed by her sister-in-law Cui Fen'er, and old lady Wang and others.

In fact, Old Man Shen also wanted to go out, but when he saw that their old man didn't move, his face was full of anxiety.

After finally hearing Huai Xu's words, Master Shen finally came to his senses and knocked the ground twice with his cane:

"Ahem, you can't keep your cool and don't care about your identity. Forget it, how about we follow and take a look?"

This sounded like a question, or like a complaint that his nieces and nieces were not calm enough, but the old man himself walked quite fast.

Gao Liehu was supporting him from behind, while Shen Changqing was supporting him from the other side.

Just as they arrived in front of Fu Huaian's bookstore, cheers came from the bookstore!

The old men who heard this couldn't help but smile. It was indeed worth being happy, and they were very happy in their hearts.

So the walking speed increased a lot unconsciously, and even Mr. Shen’s crutches were no longer useful, so he let Gao the hunter carry it directly.

When they rushed to the notice at the yamen gate, it was crowded with people from all walks of life.

The old ladies who arrived early, including Grandma Hua, took great pains to reach the notice under the cover of a few servants and with the support of their own strong bodies acquired during their escape from famine.

Now, the old ladies and old men of the nine clans all know some words, and they memorize what they can understand.

They also figured out that someone like Xiao Sanzi didn't need to participate in the first three games.

He was already a junior top three scorer, so he directly took part in the provincial examination, then the metropolitan examination, and finally the palace examination.

You don't need to take part in the previous county examinations, academy examinations, and prefectural examinations.

As for those students who have not taken the exams, they have to take the first three exams and be on the list in each exam before they can wait until the autumn of the following year to take part in the provincial examination with their third son.

From this perspective, the third child still has a lot of time to prepare, but the old men and women also know that their third child is different from other students, and has much more to do with the nine clans.

Although they usually wouldn't bother him with things they could decide on their own, there were always things that distracted him.

Moreover, looking around, the white-haired old students around him, although the tears of excitement on their faces have not yet dried, they can't hide the excitement in their eyes.

It's obvious at first glance that he is the kind of person who has never given up on the imperial examination. He may have read much more books than their third son.

Therefore, everyone secretly decided in their hearts that no, they must go back and supervise their little son more strictly, let alone win the big three prizes.

At least you can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

There was only one person here who thought that maybe the third child in their family could really continue to be at the top of the list and get top three marks in the joint entrance examination. That person was Old Master Shen.

The old man is now mysteriously confident about his third son.

There was also someone who was unsure, including Old Lady Hua, who knew Shen Zhiqiu's academic situation best because she often saw her son slacking off.

But it did not bother the old lady, she was still recording each regulation with hope.

This includes writing down the dates of future exams, where to take the exam, what to bring, and even joint guarantees.

Two copies of the guarantee letter are required. One copy is from five students taking the exam together, who guarantee each other. If one of them cheats or takes the exam for someone else, the other four will be implicated.

Another guarantee letter was needed. The old lady thought about it and decided to go directly to Tang Jiugong.

The old man often came to their house to eat and drink for free, and he seemed so casual that they almost forgot that he was a genuine juren.
