Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Brother Xie shook his head: "My household registration is in Ansu, I have to go back to take the exam.

Grandpa Uncle said it’s only a few hundred miles away, which is much more convenient than those officials’ children whose ancestral home is thousands of miles away.”

"That makes sense." It seems that it is not easy for the eldest brother to take the exam. Calculating the time, Shen Lingzhu hopes that he can pass the county exam, prefectural exam, or even the academy exam this year.

On the way home, she said uncertainly, "Dad, my eldest brother has one more year of study. Should he pass the county government exam in one sitting this year?"

Unexpectedly, I heard Mr. Chi say firmly: "No."

She was very surprised: "Why?"

"Because this year is the provincial examination, there is no academy examination." Shen Chi glanced at her and said, "You haven't asked Xian Zhu yet?"

"No, will there be an entrance exam next year?" It seems that Shen Lingzhu's calculation that there would be two exams every three years was wrong.

Shen Chi calculated with his fingers and said, "There will be the Academy Examination the year after next, the Provincial Examination the year after that, and the Metropolitan Examination the year after that.

But there is no certain time when an encore match will be added.”

“I thought that Big Brother and Brother Songzhu would be able to pass the imperial examination this year.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s good to pass the two tests of the county government. I hope you will pass.

Let's go to the Zhenwu Temple to burn incense and pray for him." As they were about to reach the Zhenwu Temple, Shen Lingzhu immediately wanted to go and pay his respects.

Shen Chi frowned: "As for the imperial examination, wouldn't it be more effective to worship at the Confucius Temple?"

"Let's worship, let's go to the Buddhist temple today." Shen Lingzhu decided to find his mother to go together later.

Perhaps it was because of her sincerity that when the Shun County examination ended in Erfenli, Shen Xianzhu really brought good news that she had passed the county examination. She only had to wait for the provincial examination in April to get more good news.

The well-maintained inns in the capital are well-received because of their good environment, competitive prices, the likable waiter Lu Anling, and the honest new manager, Uncle Jiu Shen Xiao.

In addition to the country dishes made by Grandma Lu, there are also a few dishes that Aunt Jiu learned from Grandpa. With Grandpa Huang Shouchuan occasionally coming to support the kitchen, business is getting better day by day.

Almost as soon as a room is checked out, it is immediately rented again.

That morning, Shen Lingzhu finished work at the food store and was strolling around the outer city with her grandfather, shopping for ingredients, when she suddenly heard someone behind her call out, "Uncle Chuan, little Zhuzi."

"Hey, Uncle Dahuai?" She turned around and saw Huang Dahuai walking towards her quickly, leading a horse.

Grandpa patted his shoulder and said, "It's dark now. Why are you alone? Where's Xiao Zhuzi's father? And where's Wu Huai?"

Da Huai said with a smile, "Second Master Chi, oh no, the Eighth Master has already received the Fifth Master. The road is crowded with cars and horses, so they sent me to be the first to line up in front of Wenming Gate.

By the way, when we passed through the prefectural capital, Mrs. Hu, Xianzhu, Dazhuzi and others happened to be staying at the food store, saying they were waiting for the prefectural examination."

Shen Lingzhu felt something was wrong: "Didn't you and uncle go back to the county town?"

Da Huai followed them back and said in a low voice, "No, the Fifth Master said that we lost a lot of time on the road and we must go to Beijing to report as soon as possible.

Before we entered Zhili, we wrote a letter home."

"Okay, Uncle Dahuai and grandpa can go to the food store to drink some water and rest for a while. I'll go queue up for you." Shen Lingzhu believed that her aunt had received a letter and went to the provincial capital to wait for her uncle.

Otherwise, he would not have walked more than a hundred miles with his younger brothers and sisters.

"There are too many people here, you can't do it alone." Dahuai looked at the people coming and going on the street and the crowds squeezing together.

He even noticed a few overly clever eyes sizing up passersby.

Grandma agreed with his words and said, "Go back to the food store and find your brother Jian Zhang to queue up."

Shen Jianzhang from the third house came to Beijing with his ninth uncle's family at the request of his third grandfather, and currently works in a food store.

Shen Lingzhu thought about it and agreed, "Uncle Dahuai, why did you just change my father's name from Second Master Chi to Eighth Master?"

"It was the Fifth Master who asked us to change the name. He said that in the past we could just let people call us whatever they wanted in the village, but from now on when we move around in Beijing, we can call us whatever we want." After following Shen Huai to see what was happening outside, Dahuai felt that it made sense.

After all, the fifth master was an official, so he changed his words and said that the eldest master would definitely make the clan members think that he deliberately did not follow the seniority ranking and was alienating the clan members.

Therefore, we had to let Mr. Chi Er down and change his name back to Mr. Chi Ba or Mr. Ba Lao.

"I support my uncle." Shen Lingzhu immediately dropped the subject and asked about his uncle Shen Huai's health, whether he had lost weight or gained weight.

She originally thought that no matter how many carriages and horses there were outside the capital, it would only take half an hour to wait for someone. However, she did not expect that she would have to wait for more than an hour before she saw her uncle who had become darker and thinner.

Of course, Master Fang, who came to Beijing with us, was no less impressive.

When everyone met, Shen Jianzhang and another member of the Shen family had already given up their seats to the people behind them several times.

As soon as my uncle Shen Huai entered the city, he didn't have time to talk to his family. He washed up and went to report to the Ministry of Personnel.

They didn't even have time to take a look at the new yard next door that they had rented for them.

He made the whole family wait for a long time until the yamen was closed before he came back. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Second brother, come with me to visit the old man."

"Brother, please eat something." Shen Chi looked at the sky and saw that it was almost sunset.

Shen Huai smiled and shook his head: "I will take up my new post tomorrow, and I will come to thank you today."

When Shen Chi was about to speak, Shen Lingzhu brought the Tremella Soup and said, "Uncle, drink this. It won't take up your time.

My mother and I have sorted out the local specialties you brought and are now wrapping one for you as a welcome gift."

"Yeah, I drink. You sisters have worked hard this year." Shen Huai compared her height. Not bad, she has grown a lot taller.

"Don't worry, uncle, drink quickly. I'll go wrap the gifts." When Shen Lingzhu saw his uncle coming back, he felt that most of the pressure on him was relieved.

She believed that her senior sister had already told him the reason for the transfer. Her uncle was a smart man. The more he knew the reason, the sooner he would meet Prime Minister Li.

Shen Huai was very satisfied with his niece's understanding, but when he looked at his second brother, he found that he was still a little uneasy.

By the time he finished his soup, Shen Lingzhu had already handed him the wrapped gift and the gift list.

And there are two copies in total, in case he goes to Mr. Han's house again.

Shen Huai took a look and said with a smile: "Written by Mr. Fang?"

Shen Lingzhu nodded: "Yes, he took Brother Chen out for a walk and said he would be back before curfew."

"Mr. Fang likes to eat fish. Can you make an extra portion for him?" Shen Huai knew that his master was inquiring about information from all sides for him.

Shen Lingzhu nodded again: "Yes, Aunt Jiu has live fish in the tank at the inn.

The Fire Temple is very close, Grandpa and I will go get it later."

Shen Huai patted her on the shoulder. It turned out that his daughter was considerate. In the provincial capital, Dazhuzi had arranged everything for him perfectly.

Shen Lingzhu saw them off and then asked her grandfather to cook fish.

Grandpa couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that the child of the family he belongs to will take sides with him."

"Grandpa, I'm on your side too."

"Then I'll teach you how to cook. Why don't you learn? It will also give me, an old man, a break."

"Of course I don't want to learn, but I just can't learn. Grandpa, are you missing home?

My parents are making soup in the food store right now. If you miss home, can you ask Uncle Dahuai to take you back in a few days?"
