After hearing Su Yu's assurance, Xu Zhifu nodded in relief.

Then he invited Su Yu to sit down, intending to learn more about Su Yu's knowledge.

"Then let me ask you, have you ever read any books? Have you read the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Su Yu curled his lips slightly and threw a thunderbolt.

"No, to be honest with Aunt Xu, I may not have learned all the characters yet."

When Xu Zhifu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

"What?! How is that possible! Don't you know how to run a business? Don't you know how to read an account book? Don't you know how to run a business?"

How is it possible that he doesn’t even recognize all the characters? "

Magistrate Xu suddenly felt that his breathing was a little difficult!

Is Su Yu lying to her?

"Don't worry, Aunt Xu. I've learned to recognize most of the characters recently. Most of the characters I don't know are rare. There shouldn't be any problem. And..."

Su Yu hesitated to speak.

Xu Zhifu was so angry that he almost laughed.

What else? What else?!

She just doesn't believe there is anything more outrageous than not knowing how to read!

"What else?"

Su Yu hesitated for a moment.

"I can't write well now, and my handwriting is very bad."

When Governor Xu heard Su Yu's words, he felt like the sky was falling!

Blame her! Blame her for thinking that Su Yu has such a good business mind and such sophisticated business tactics.

I thought that although she was not a genius, she should have some good talents!

But what did she hear now? !

She is actually illiterate?! She can’t read or write!

Magistrate Xu was so angry when he saw Su Yu's calm face that he almost vomited blood!

"You really can't read? You can't write?!"

Su Yu shook his head.

Prefect Xu was delighted when she saw this, and she thought that Su Yu had just said those things to deceive her intentionally.

She said that Su Yu was well-spoken and well-educated, so how could he not be well-educated?

Then I heard Su Yu say,

"I can recognize and write, but I don't know some of the rare characters, and my handwriting isn't very pretty."

The joy in Xu Zhifu's heart was immediately shattered. He slammed the table angrily, causing the two teacups on the table to jump up.

"How is that possible! Are you lying to me?

If you can't read or write, how can you talk like this?

How did you learn about sweet potatoes and the improved curved plow?

Su Yu! Are you deliberately teasing me because you think my Ji Yue will marry you?

By the end of his words, Prefect Xu seemed to be getting a little angry.

Su Yu sighed, bowed to Prefect Xu and said,

"Don't be angry, Aunt Xu. How dare I tease you? I'm telling the truth!

Aunt Xu should know that I suddenly appeared in Cangzhou City.

To be honest, I was rescued by Xuerong in a forest, and I have forgotten all my memories before that.

So there are many things I don’t remember, and some things I only remember when I encounter them.”

So if you lose your memory, you'll also forget words? If you can't even recognize all the words, how can you pass the exam? How long will it take to pass the exam?

The more Xu Zhifu listened to Su Yu's words, the more he regretted it.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Fortunately, I didn't expect her to be the top scorer in the imperial examination. For now, it is a great blessing for her to be able to pass the imperial examination!

Xu Zhifu looked at Su Yu and didn't know what to say.

"you,"

Xu Zhifu felt a lump in his throat, and finally he exhaled and said,

"You go back first. I will send some books to you. I will introduce you to the great scholar again in three days.

As for whether that person will accept you or not, it depends on your luck.

If that person doesn't accept you, I will find you a teacher first, and then I will find you another great scholar after you have completed your studies."

Su Yu did not guarantee to Xu Zhifu that the great scholar she mentioned would accept her as a disciple.

But Su Yu was certain in her heart that as long as this great scholar did not discriminate against her calligraphy, he would definitely accept her as his disciple!

The top student can be sure of this little thing!

In modern times, she completed all her studies at the age of eighteen. She had already mastered the Four Books and Five Classics.

The collection of materials here is similar to that in modern history. She asked Fu Feng to find many books. She has read them and found that they are not much different. She is very confident.

But she didn't say it. She wanted to see how determined Magistrate Xu was for his son.

……

That afternoon, Su Yu received the care from Governor Xu - a thick stack of books.

An Xun helped Su Yu put the book away in Shuiyunxuan's study. Su Yu was sitting at the desk, flipping through a copy of the sutra sent by Prefect Xu.

An Xun looked at Su Yu's serious expression and couldn't help but say,

"Wife, are you really sure you want to take the imperial examination?"

Su Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at An Xun, nodding at him.

"Yes, for our future life, I have to work hard."

A complicated feeling welled up in An Xun's heart.

"With my wife's intelligence, getting the top spot in high school will definitely be no problem!"

Su Yu looked at An Xun who was full of confidence in her and smiled.

"Why do you look more confident than me? Didn't you see what I wrote?"

An Xun smiled and said,

"The calligraphy here is nothing. Xun'er has seen my wife's painting skills.

My wife's painting is so exquisite, what does this word mean?

If you spend some time practicing, you will be able to write well soon.

Oh, right,"

An Xun took out a copybook from the book sent by Xu Zhifu and placed it next to Su Yu.

"Master Xu is very concerned about my wife. This calligraphy is very suitable for my wife to copy right now."

Su Yu looked down at the calligraphy and flipped through it.

"Yeah, not bad, pretty basic."

An Xun was actually quite familiar with the imperial examination. He had once sent his sister to take the exam, but now his sister...

An Xun shook his head and threw away his bad mood.

He suggested to Su Yu the order in which to read the books, and when he saw that Su Yu was getting better and better at reading, he quietly left.

Standing at the door of the study, An Xun looked up at the sky. The deep blue sky seemed as clean as if it had been washed.

He took a deep breath of the autumn air, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

……

At the residence of Prefect Xu,

It has been a long time since Xu Zhifu, Su Rouer and Xu Jiuyue, a family of three, sat together and had a harmonious meal.

Xu Jiyue diligently picked up some food for Xu Zhifu.

"Mother, this is your favorite rich shrimp, please try it!"

Xu Zhifu looked at Xu Jiuyue, who smiled at her for the first time in a long time and was so attentive in picking up food.

She couldn't help but exchange a glance with her beloved husband, and they both smiled knowingly.

Xu Zhifu jokingly said,

"Hey, isn't that the guy who did that to my face and nose a while ago?"

When Xu Jiuyue heard this, she immediately stood up and stood behind Xu Zhifu, patting her shoulders and saying to her in a flattering way,

"Who are you talking about, mother? How come I don't know this person? Tell me who he is and I will definitely help you beat him up!"

Magistrate Xu pointed at Xu Jiuyue and smiled at Su Rouer.

"Huh? Look at this kid, I wonder who learned this from!"

Su Rouer looked at her son's energetic appearance, pulled him over and patted her son's hand, saying distressedly,

"I finally see my son happy! You've been through so much during this period.

Look how thin you are, sit down and eat properly, don't just try to appease your mother."

Xu Jiuyue could naturally tell the difference between the big and small kings. When he saw his father speaking, he immediately sat down obediently.
