Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

When Jiang Sanni asked this question, Jiang Erni was also listening carefully. Only Cheng Yuchu was very serious about making the fire.

"I said it was given to me by an old grandfather." Mu Heng recalled, "He later passed away and entrusted Hu Er to me, and also gave me the sick horse."

Speaking of his gang of younger brothers, they are now being let out by him, setting up stalls all over the town and county, selling pork, mutton and other meats.

"Do you know it's a horse?" Jiang Sanni asked the question that had always been in her mind.

Mu Heng: “I know.”

"Then why did you say it in the first place..."

"If I say it's a horse, will you believe it?" Mu Heng asked back. He was in urgent need of money at the time, and even if he didn't spend money, he couldn't support it.

Jiang Sanni nodded, "Of course I don't believe it."

Then, she shook her head again, "Xiao Liuxin."

Jiang Erni and Cheng Yuchu were listening in and thought it was very interesting.

...A busy day passed, and that night, in the thatched hut on the ranch, the aroma of mutton offal soup and white steamed buns filled the air.

Even though the north wind is biting, the food still makes people feel warm.

At dinner time, Jiang Yue suggested expanding the business to the county town.

After hearing this, Lin Guo volunteered to take Mu Heng with him to look for business opportunities.

Just like in the county town, looking for a stable mansion.

Neither of them knew the way, so Cheng Yuchu acted as a guide, and the three of them went to Huai'an County to expand their business.

Compared with Chuanshui County, Huai'an County has wider alleys and broader roads.

Meat sells best at the end of the year, and in just over ten days, the three of them provided a lot of outlets for the Jiang family's ranch.

This year's twelfth month has passed just like this.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, Jiang Yue is eight years old~

After the New Year, building a house at home was put on the agenda.

On the first day of February, Liu Chunfeng asked someone to find a bricklayer in the village, and the construction of the house began.

In February, Jiang Yue's examination for status as a student is approaching.

As for the exam, Wei Changsheng had already registered the students in advance, provided a guarantee, and prepared the required fees.

In response to this, Taoyuan Village also sent out several prestigious people, including the village chief, to guarantee Jiang Yue and Zhao Tiancheng.

No wonder Liu was so disappointed with Jiang Yue. For one exam, Jiang Yue paid a full five taels of insurance premium, which was a considerable expense for an ordinary farmer.

If one person cheats in the exam, all the people who guaranteed him will be punished, so Wei Changsheng explained everything clearly.

Moreover, during the breaks between his lectures, he would explain some exam questions from previous years to Jiang Yue and other students who were going to take the Tongsheng exam.

He also described clearly the problems that one will encounter during the exam.

When grandma and sisters learned that Jiang Yue was going to take the examination, they were happy for her but also worried about her.

After studying hard for a few days after the New Year, on the eve of the Tongsheng Examination, Liu Chunfeng prepared things for Jiang Yue to take to the exam.

She brought everything she needed, including an exam basket, writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as new clothes and shoes she had made herself.

Grandma also decided to go with Jiang Yue on the day of the exam.

The sisters also wanted to go with them, but were politely declined by Jiang Yue.

Mu Heng was going to the county town to deliver meat, so he happened to go along the way.

The day before the exam, Jiang Yue and her grandmother prepared to set off for the county town.

inside the carriage,

"Xiao Liu, don't be nervous. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam. We don't seek fame, we just seek a process."

Jiang Yue had already prepared herself mentally, but Liu Chunfeng hadn't slept for several days and nights.

"Grandma, don't worry about me." Jiang Yue had just finished speaking.

I met Zhao Tiancheng at the entrance of the village.

"Aunt Liu, can you give us a ride?" Liu Chunfeng waited at the entrance of Liu's village and agreed without thinking.

"Come up."

We happened to be on the way, so we had someone in common to talk about, and she would have a companion for tonight's hotel.

As soon as Liu got on the car, Liu Chunfeng asked her about the matter of the student, because Zhao Tiancheng had taken the exam before.

As for Liu, she told him everything she knew, and as the two women talked, the tension gradually dissipated.

Zhao Tiancheng got in the car and sat opposite Jiang Yue without saying a word.

Compared with Jiang Yue, he has lost his appetite for tea and food recently.

If you don’t know, you might think he was heartbroken.

After arriving in Chuanshui County, Mu Heng sent Jiang Yue and others to the door of an inn, and then went to deliver the goods.

Inside the inn, the waiter greeted the guests with a smile.

Jiang Yue and her grandmother lived in one room, and the Liu mother and son asked for two rooms.

At night, the two families went out to the street and bought some buns to fill their stomachs.

On the way back to the inn, Liu Chunfeng and Liu were still talking about the boy students.

Jiang Yue and Zhao Tiancheng followed behind.

"Xiao Liu, aren't you nervous?" Zhao Tiancheng was extremely nervous and even felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

"Let it be." Jiang Yue turned her head and smiled at Zhao Tiancheng, saying, "Brother Tiancheng, do you remember what the teacher taught you?"

Zhao Tiancheng: "I can recite it by heart, even if I don't say it."

Jiang Yue saw that Zhao Tiancheng's severe pre-test anxiety caused him to perform poorly every time.

"Every year, there are many people who apply for the Tongsheng exam. If they pass, everyone is happy. If they fail, isn't it normal? Drink today and worry about tomorrow. There are tens of thousands of students in the world, but how many of them can really become officials? At most, you can be an accountant in the future."

"Don't make fun of me at this time." Hearing this, Zhao Tiancheng's melancholy heart suddenly became clear.

You don't have to become an official after studying. If you fail the exam, the worst that can happen is that you can become an accountant and eventually become a shopkeeper.

It was the beginning of the Chinese New Year, and there was no charcoal fire in the house, so it was still a little cold. At night, Jiang Yue was hugged tightly by her grandmother to keep herself warm.

Liu Chunfeng did not sleep all night. The next morning, when she heard the sound of firecrackers on the street, she woke up Jiang Yue immediately and asked her to eat early.

Jiang Yue looked outside with sleepy eyes. The sky was just getting dark at dawn.

After having breakfast, Jiang Yue and Zhao Tiancheng followed each other to the long street for the exam.

On the streets, the vendors' stalls have not yet started selling and everything around is quiet.

Jiang Yue tried to persuade her grandmother to stay at the inn, but her grandmother refused to listen and insisted on following them.

Now seeing grandma and Liu following behind her, she could only let her go.

On the day of Zhao Tiancheng's exam, he was no longer as nervous as he was the day before. On his way to the exam room, he talked to Jiang Yue about the exam news while walking.

As we approached the Imperial Examination Hall, we saw at a glance that there were as many as two or three hundred students coming to take the exam.

Among them, there are some older ones who have failed the exams many times.

As Jiang Yue was so young and so rare, she couldn't help but be looked back at frequently.

During this period, Jiang Yue and the others met Ye Chen who came to take the exam together, as well as several classmates. They greeted each other together.

Soon, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened, and Jiang Yue followed the students in order and entered one by one.

Before entering, she did not forget to look back and gave her grandmother a comforting look.

After entering, line up for a body search.

When it was Jiang Yue's turn, she looked calm. What else could be found in an eight-year-old child?

Students entering the examination room will be named by the clerks and assigned to their examination seats.

The roll call book records all the candidate's information, including age and appearance, as well as the government scholarship stamp.

They entered the examination room one after another, each person had a cubicle. Jiang Yue found her seat according to the seating order and sat in examination room No. 72, waiting for the examination to begin.

During this period, she put away her writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, waiting for the papers to be distributed.

The county magistrate was on patrol, and when he approached Jiang Yue, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, just because she was the youngest.
