Hey heroine, please clear your mind. How can you change the main plot just because you want to?

Especially this kind of crazy idea of changing the male lead midway through the show!!! It's just a pipe dream.

Your childhood sweetheart has already moved in and has been living in your house for almost a month.

Ye Guo did not respond nor did he refuse. Instead, he called people without any hesitation and rushed to the county town.

You can say she is a coward and is avoiding him, but at this moment, Ye Guo can only say three words: ignore her.

"The person has already woken up, why are you so absent-minded?" Ye Lao Er watched the whole process, his mood was ups and downs, but he was always thinking about the purpose of his family's visit.

"Nothing, I was just thinking, Ye An has learned to drive an ox cart, but why can't I do anything?" Ye Guo looked around and complained in a pretended annoyed manner.

"Aunt, just enjoy yourself. I've been driving the cart for you. Now I'm driving an ox cart, and later I'll drive a horse cart." Ye Cheng, still wearing wet pants, deliberately sat sideways in the sun, and said jokingly.

Ye Li also hurriedly said, "And me, I can drive too."

Ye Guo glared at him angrily: "What I need is a driver? If you really want to be nice to me, let's see who can pass the exam and become a scholar first."

She is just talking nonsense.

The Daqing Dynasty also implemented the imperial examination system. Ordinary people had to go through county examinations, prefectural examinations, and academy examinations before they could obtain the qualification of a scholar.

After that, there are the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination.

If you want to pass the exam to become a scholar, you need to be proficient in poetry, songs, and essays, as well as insights into current affairs.

Changhua is a small county, and there are only about ten people who can pass the imperial examination to become a scholar every year.

The worst part is that as long as someone guarantees you, anyone can take the exam regardless of age.

This is much more difficult than the modern junior and senior high school entrance examinations.

Therefore, scholars in Daqing also enjoy many benefits.

He could meet the magistrate without kneeling, could not be tortured, was exempted from corvee labor, had the right to 20 acres of tax-free land, and his house could be three inches taller than that of an ordinary person.

There is a fixed salary and rice every month, and occasionally fish, meat, oil and salt.

Passing the examination to become a scholar is equivalent to obtaining a teacher's certificate. Moreover, as the intellectual elite at the village level, the scholar is responsible for all knowledge-related work in the village, such as naming, writing epitaphs, compiling family genealogies, etc.

As long as you are willing to do it, there will be absolutely no problem in making money to support your family.

And their opinions will be heard on important matters of the village or clan.

Political privileges, economic benefits and social status have been comprehensively improved, commonly known as replacing one's family.

The last scholar in Yejia Village was born more than ten years ago.

Ye Lao Er passed the provincial and prefectural examinations and was admitted as a student. The third examination was to go to Yongzhou Prefecture to take the imperial examination, but he did not have enough money for the trip, so he got married first.

That year, he was eighteen years old and promising, and the Wang family in the county was willing to marry their daughter to him.

Later, he took the third test twice and failed both times. Ye Guo had been persuading him to continue taking the test.

The children's exam is held every year, and Ye Li will only be 14 next year.

A 14-year-old scholar is extremely rare in the whole of Daqing.

I guess someone from our family is coming again.

When Ye Guo thought of this, she felt a severe headache. She would not even go back for that damn engagement, so let's see how they would play.

"Then I admit defeat. Ali is definitely faster than me." Ye Cheng said with a smile without shame, and cheered for Ye Li, "In the past, as long as you were in the clan school, you would definitely be the first. You can definitely do well in the county school."

"Ali, my aunt's future happiness is entirely entrusted to you." Ye Guo also added fuel to the fire.

Ye Li nodded firmly in agreement, although he knew that his aunt might be joking.

In addition to recommendation, one can also take the entrance exam to the county school. The teacher of the clan school said that with his grades, there is no problem at all. However, it is very difficult to support a scholar.

Even when he was farming at home, he never went a day without reading.

It took more than an hour to get from Yejia Village to the county town, and there were delays in the middle. By the time they arrived at the county government office, it was almost time to get off work.

The Changhua County Yamen follows the traditional official architectural style, with a hip roof design, covered with green tiles, and the eaves carved with exquisite patterns.

There are two two-meter-high stone lions in front of the gate, a tall vermilion gate with a plaque engraved with the county name hanging on it, and symmetrical small doors on both sides for daily entry and exit.

"Luckily I came early, otherwise this thing would not be done today." The head of the village was also an "official". Seeing that they were two quarters of an hour later than the agreed time, he complained unhappily.

"I encountered some problems on the road, and I'm sorry to bother you. This is Ali's household registration information, and a letter of recommendation from the clan." Ye Laoer handed the things over with a smile, along with a silver ingot.

"We've arranged everything in advance. We've even invited them to Fuxing Restaurant for lunch." Ye Lizheng took the money, still looking pained, "Otherwise, if you come at this time, you won't be able to find anyone."

Ye Guo: Leaving early?

She pursed her lips, too lazy to complain about this bad habit that has existed since ancient times.

Actually, going to the county government office is just like the old days when students registered for school registration. It is not that complicated. But in this era, going to the county government office to do things is not that simple.

Everything was exactly as the head of the village said, everything had been arranged in advance. In just a quarter of an hour, the two men came out with smiles on their faces.

"Then let's go to the county school now?" After they separated from the village head, Ye Guo held the ancient version of the school record in his hand and asked again and again while looking at it.

Traditional Chinese characters, vertical, no punctuation.

Obscure.

Sympathy for the examiners in Daqing.

"Let's go buy some things for Ali first. The uniforms for the county school are specially made and need to be bought from a fixed place. We also need to buy some pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as books." That's why Ye Laoer insisted on coming, not only because Ali was his son, but also because he was the most educated and experienced person in the family.

"Then shall we go shopping now?" Ye Guo was very flexible. It would be fine if she didn't go, but going really made her depressed.

In the past, the original owner would at most go to a restaurant in the county town for a quick meal, then go to a clothing and jewelry store to see if he could find a bargain, or buy the cheapest items to serve as a display.

It was only today when she went to a high-end clothing store that she realized that here, people of different social status can wear clothes of different colors and styles, not to mention the materials and patterns.

No wonder people on the street wear grey, grey, and grey. The main point is that it is resistant to dirt and washing, and you can't go wrong wearing it.

Then, she took some time to go to the grocery store alone. There were so many things there that she felt like she was shopping in a boutique.

By the time I was halfway through buying things, it was already approaching evening and some stores were starting to close.

They had no choice but to send Ali to the county school first. The school had a low gate and the building was a bit old. There was an old man guarding the door.

Knowing that the county school did not allow outsiders to enter, the few of them separated at the door. Ye Guo also secretly said, "If this place is not good, go home and tell me, and I will change it for you."

Ye Li believed this statement without a doubt and was even more grateful.

"There are still some books that we haven't bought yet. You can go out and buy them with your classmates when you have time." Ye Guo stuffed another bulging purse into Ye Li's arms. "Don't be stingy when you're out, especially among classmates."

Ye Li nodded, suppressed his reluctance, and went into the county school with his bags.

They went to Huichun Hall again, and what happened made everyone practice silent meditation on the way back to the village.

What made Ye Guo's mood even worse was that their ox cart was stopped at the village gate.

The one who stopped them was the tight-fitting man they had seen during the day.
