Songjia Village, Zhang Bangchui, and Zhang Zihan passed the imperial examination.

After receiving Song Jinxiu's letter, Songjia Village almost went crazy.

The old patriarch laughed three times, almost fainting from excessive excitement.

Everyone was busy, some were trying to calm down, some were trying to get water, and finally the old patriarch came to his senses, and the person who brought the good news arrived.

Zhang Zihan passed the imperial examination, which was a double blessing.

So Songjia Village held another three-day banquet.

Their Songjia Village was about to make a comeback. A fifth-rank female doctor emerged and was given the title of Princess Kangle.

This is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The old patriarch knelt in the ancestral hall, offered a glass of wine to the ancestors, and drank a glass himself.

"Don't blame me, ancestor. I have to drink this wine because I have good taste. Hahahaha, our Song family is going to be prosperous. We have finally made it from farmers to scholars."

"The entrance hall has been changed. Now I can stand under the imperial archway with a straight back!"

"The little girl is interested in promoting the younger generations of the clan. I have selected three more and will send a few more capable young men along.

Our child is young and needs help in many areas. Please pray to our ancestors to protect her from being bullied in the capital and to help her gain a firm foothold. Our Song family depends entirely on her."

In addition to Tian Xinghua's family, the people from Songjia Village who came to Beijing this time included seven or eight men from the clan, five young men, six or seven maids, and three women: Aunt Cuihua, Second Aunt, and Aunt Huozi.

Song Chunsheng's "Three Knights" liquor, including latte, calcium, zinc, and selenium, is in charge of bronze. Liu Ping and his wife are in charge of the "Meet the Fragrance" shampoo. Xia He is the general manager of the supermarket.

Before leaving, the old clan leader and the village head met Zhang Zihan alone and handed him a purse.

"This is three hundred taels of silver. As the saying goes, a poor family makes a rich journey. Take this money. The food and drink of our clansmen along the way are all depending on you."

Zhang Zihan said, "I have money. Jinxiu left some for me. It won't be a problem for me to take my people to the capital."

The old patriarch said, "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to be away for a moment. Take what I tell you to take."

I still have three thousand taels here. Originally, the clan was going to use the money to purchase clan land. Since you just arrived in Beijing, you can give it to Xiu girl and tell her that everything is fine in the clan and she shouldn't miss home while she is away.

As for these people, if they are useful, keep them. If anyone is dragging their feet, send them back."

It's not easy for children to be outside. If he weren't old and weak, he would have wanted to go and help the children support them for a few years.

There is no mention of the large group of people from Songjia Village going to Beijing.

Xuan Zhenzi blinked his little eyes and looked at Song Jinxiu, shaking his head, sighing, and then full of curiosity.

Song Jinxiu couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Brother, just say it."

Xuan Zhenzi sighed, "I just want to know, where did you get the courage to challenge that girl Cui Zixuan?"

Song Jinxiu glanced at him, "Why? You know she's your grand-disciple, but I'm still your junior sister! You're only boosting others' ambitions while destroying your own prestige. Who are you on your side with?"

Xuan Zhenzi said: "I am speaking objectively. Your mathematics is unmatched, but this art of Kantian needs to be passed down."

Can I side with the girl from the Cui family?

Others may not know, but he knows clearly that Xuantian Sect and Cui Family have a grudge against each other!

He said earnestly, "Even if you have the Heavenly Book, you still need this most basic inheritance. You also need astronomical instruments to assist you. Do you have them?"

As he spoke, the old man rummaged around tremblingly and took out a shiny black tortoise shell and three copper coins for her.

"I don't know if it's too late for me to teach you now."

Song Jinxiu looked at the tortoise shell copper coin and frowned, "What are you doing? You want me to learn fortune-telling to fool people? Astronomy is a science. Brother, this thing is useless."

Xuan Zhenzi's beard trembled with anger. "This is what I eat, and you don't want it?"

Song Jinxiu shook her head, "I don't have any. Since this is my senior brother's treasure, you can keep it. I can see the waxing and waning of the moon. My eyes are still good enough.

But my senior brother did remind me that I should make a few balloons, maybe it would be more accurate."

Xuan Zhenzi asked helplessly, "Don't be so distracted. Do you know what the Cui family represents?"

Song Jinxiu shook her head. "I don't know? Isn't it just the Imperial Observatory? It's very mysterious?"

Xuan Zhenzi said, "Since ancient times, there have been officials in charge of astronomy, passed down from generation to generation. The director of the Cangwu Imperial Observatory has always been a member of the Cui family. At the height of their family's prosperity, they produced a saintly woman who was on par with the emperor."

Song Jinxiu raised her eyebrows. "So impressive? But they do have some skills. They were right in predicting three night rains. There will indeed be sporadic rain tonight."

"Since you know how powerful they are, why did you go to the spiritual arena to compete with her?"

"Your disciple can't stand losing and is very aggressive. I have no choice but to agree. I haven't seen the observatory here yet, so it would be nice to go and see it."

Song Jinxiu didn't care about the authenticity.

"You said the Imperial Observatory is a hereditary institution, passed down from generation to generation. Are all the people here from the Cui family?"

"That's not the case. The Yin-Yang people in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory are divided into Tianwen students (who study astronomy) and Yin-Yang students (who study the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, geomancy, and divination). They are selected from Yin-Yang families who have been engaged in astronomy and calendar calculation for generations."

Song Jinxiu didn't understand. She blinked and asked, "Hermaphrodite? Eunuch?"

Were all ancient astronomers eunuchs? Then where did Cui Zixuan come from? Was she adopted?

Xuan Zhenzi was amused by her, "You, sometimes you are a genius, and sometimes you are a mediocre person, you know nothing.

"This Yin-Yang person refers to someone who is proficient in Yin-Yang theory, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, divination, and other techniques. What does this have to do with eunuchs?"

Song Jinxiu covered her mouth and laughed, "Hey, I misunderstood."

"Hey! I've said so much to you, but it's like talking to a cow anyway. You should take care of yourself. I have to go out for a while. I heard that the sect has sent people here. You should think about how to arrange it."

"Ah? Has anyone from the sect arrived? Then I'll go with you to take a look. I'm short of manpower here. How many people have come?"

“I don’t know how many people have come, I’ll go check it out first and tell them not to cause trouble.

Don't go anywhere these two days. Prepare for the competition. Don't be embarrassed to be outdone by a junior.

Song Jinxiu was speechless. Why was this old man more nervous than her?

How could Xuan Zhenzi not be nervous? He also wants to save face!

He was originally from the master's lineage, but unfortunately he was not interested in the art of Kantian, and he accepted a disciple Hu Yue to inherit his master's mantle early on.

Later, when Hu Yue became the head of the sect, he followed his junior uncle to travel around the world in search of the person who was destined to receive the Heavenly Book.

The head of the sect mainly studies Kantian and metaphysics. The Cui family is the same.

Later, after the Cui family produced a saint, they did not hesitate to use the power of the state to force the Xuantian Sect to hand over the Heavenly Book. They even said that the Heavenly Book was the Heavenly Book of Cangwu and that anyone with the ability could obtain it.

The Xuantian Sect was no pushover either, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. It was at that moment that the Heavenly Book suddenly emitted a burst of golden light and transformed into a wordless Heavenly Book.

The power of the Heavenly Book was unleashed, causing both sides to cease fighting and remain silent on the matter.

Not many people in the sect know about this matter now. Even the sect leader Hu Yue only heard about it from hearsay and doesn’t know much about it.

But he knew that his great-grandmaster had told him and his junior uncle personally before his death that they must find the destined person, reopen the Heavenly Book, and beware of the Cui family.

Now that the Book of Heaven has been opened, Junior Sister is clashing with the Cui family again. Could this be God's will?

No, Junior Sister is simple, but the Cui family has probably been eyeing her for a long time.

The Cui family has indeed set their sights on Song Jinxiu.
