The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

When Lu Yanyan was adding makeup to Lan Niang, he wanted to return her indenture contract to her, but Lan Niang refused to accept it.

Women like her and Liu Mei, who had a wandering life, sold themselves to the Han family to find a backer. After all, Yan Dahu was not a slave, so there would be no restrictions on their children in the future.

Lu Yanyan thought about it, put the indenture contract away, and gave Yan Dahu and Lan Niang ten days of honeymoon leave.

Their wedding house is in the courtyard bought by Han Qingyun, which is also a workshop for making marinated ingredients. Although Yan Dahu took a honeymoon leave, it did not delay the production of marinated ingredients.

Before the Spring Festival, business in clothing stores is particularly good.

Lan Niang and other embroiderers and tailors were busy working overtime day and night, and only completed all the orders the day before New Year's Eve.

The business of the garment shop was good after the Spring Festival, but there was no need to rush to work anymore.

Lan Niang works in a garment shop and only does high-end custom work. These ten days of wedding leave are the most relaxing and comfortable ten days she has had since she grew up.

After Lan Niang's wedding was completed, February soon arrived.

February 6th is the first examination of this year's Tongsheng exam - the county exam.

On February 4, Yan Shi'an took Han Huaijin, Yan Xuewen, Lu Chang'an and Han Xigu to Lingling County.

The four of them were all registered in Baiyun Village, Yangliu Town, Lingling County, so they had to return to the county to take the county exam.

Lu Youtian originally wanted to go with them, but he was worried that it would put too much pressure on his grandson, so he made a few arrangements with Yan Shian and did not go himself.

Mu Chengkang’s registered residence is in the provincial capital, and Lu’s residence is not far from the examination hall.

Early in the morning of February 6, Lu Yanyan sent Mu Chengkang to the examination room.

Mu Chengkang was a little excited and asked Lu Yanyan to send him to take the provincial examination next time.

The county exam results came out on February 11th, and several children passed the exam.

Han Huaijin ranked first in Lingling County, Han Xigu ranked ninth, and Yan Xuewen and Lu Changan were also ranked in the top 30.

Mu Chengkang ranked first in the Shuntian Prefecture County Examination.

Han Huaijin and Mu Chengkang were both confident in their results. The county exam was not difficult, so they didn't care too much about it.

Yan Xuewen and Lu Changan were both extremely excited. After passing the county examination, they would be eligible to take part in the prefectural examination. If they could pass the prefectural examination, they would become students.

The two were greatly encouraged and soon plunged into intensive study again.

The provincial examination is on April 2nd, which is less than two months away.

Yan Shi'an has been going to the south of the city very frequently recently. Fortunately, the Yan family's business is back on track, and he is not as busy as before.

On February 15th, this year's Spring Examination officially began.

The metropolitan examination also lasted nine days with three sessions, but the examination environment was much better than that of the provincial examination, and it was rare for candidates to be carried out due to lack of strength.

After last year's provincial examination, Lu Youtian was no longer as nervous as last time, but he still insisted on sending his son to take the exam.

This time, not only Lu Youtian went to see Han Qingyun off, but Yan Hui and Yan Shi'an also came to Han's house a day in advance, and the next day, they went with Lu Youtian to see Han Qingyun off to the examination room.

If Han Qingyun can pass the imperial examination this time, he will be directly appointed as an official.

For the Yan family, their current situation requires a relative or friend who can speak with influence more than the Lu family.

On February 23rd, Han Qingyun came out of the examination room. Lu Youtian and Yan Shian were already waiting outside the examination room.

This time, Han Qingyun supported Guan Xueqin and walked out of the examination room together.

Although Han Qingyun looked very tired, he was in good spirits.

After all, Guan Xueqin was old, and he was almost carried out of the examination room by Han Qingyun.

Guan Shannian’s eldest son Guan Pengfei quickly thanked “Grandpa Xiao Han”, then carried Guan Xueqin on his back and got on the Guan family’s carriage.

Han Qingyun was called "Grandpa" by a young man who was not much younger than him. He rubbed his eyebrows, smiled, and went home with Lu Youtian and others.

Lu Yanyan, Chen and several other children saw Han Qingyun's expression and knew that he had done well in the exam, so they stopped asking questions.

In late February, Mingxianglou and Qianbaiwei Food Square opened their east city branches.

These two stores were jointly opened with the Yan family.

The Yan family provided the shop, decoration, manager, accountant, waiter, etc., while Lu Youtian and Lu Yanyan were responsible for providing decoration plans, supply, kitchen staff, performers and scripts, and the profits were split 50-50.

At the end of March, the results of the imperial examination were announced. Han Qingyun ranked second and Guan Xueqin ranked seventh.

Both the Lu and Guan families were very excited. As long as these two had not misbehaved in front of the palace, they would not have been among the same Jinshi.

Although Han Qingyun knew that Luocheng was full of talented people and that second place in the imperial examination was already a very good result, he still felt a little disappointed.

He was born into a family of three minor scholars, and his achievement of first place in the provincial examination gave him the illusion that he could achieve the next three major scholars.

Lu Yanyan couldn't help laughing secretly. Han Qingyun's spirits became higher after coming here. For an art student who used to have a college entrance examination score of less than 500, it was already very impressive for him to get a top score here.

But I still have to comfort my husband.

Lu Yanyan told Han Qingyun everything he had learned.

With Mingxianglou and Meishifang, Lu Yanyan is now well-informed.

Ranked ahead of Han Qingyun is Liu Minghe, the direct descendant of the Liu family, one of the five major families.

When Han Qingyun heard Liu Minghe's name, his eyes lit up instantly, but then he felt a little confused.

Liu Minghe has been extremely intelligent since childhood and is a well-known talent in Dayu. Before Prince Lin grew up, Liu Minghe has always been the number one talent in Luocheng.

Unfortunately, he was not interested in a career in politics and was a representative of those who were only interested in reading books of sages.

However, for a talented person like him, no one would dare to question his talent even if he did not take the imperial examination.

Calculated, Liu Minghe should be almost sixty years old this year. Why would he suddenly take part in the imperial examination?

Lu Yanyan didn't find out the specific reason.

Among the top ten in this examination, except for Han Qingyun, the others were between 36 and 58 years old, and Liu Minghe was the oldest.

No one knows why Liu Minghe, who had been teaching at Xue Ru Academy at the age of 37, suddenly started to take the imperial examinations.

The students of Xue Ru Academy are all talented children from the five major families.

Academies focus on inheritance rather than imperial examinations, so the reason why Xue Ru Academy has been able to maintain its position among the top ten academies is basically due to the college competition rather than the imperial examination results.

But among Liu Minghe's students, almost half of them were able to pass the imperial examinations, and some even became Jinshi.

Liu Minghe almost single-handedly brought the Xue Ru Academy, which was originally ranked seventh or eighth, to fifth place, and its popularity was once even close to that of Nancheng Academy.

If Liu Minghe had not suddenly left Xue Ru Academy four years ago, it would be hard to say which one would be ranked fourth between Nancheng Academy and Xue Ru Academy.

Four years ago, Principal Qi of Xue Ru Academy retired. Liu Minghe, who was expected to become the new principal of the academy, suddenly made a decision that surprised everyone - he was going to take the imperial examination.

Afterwards, Liu Minghe returned to his ancestral home in Zhengcheng, and achieved the title of Junior Three Top Scholars a year later. If he could get the title of Top Scholar in the palace examination this year, he would have achieved the title of Six Top Scholars.

Among Dayu students, almost no one doesn’t know Liu Minghe. Han Qingyun was convinced of his defeat by him.

Holding Lu Yanyan's waist, Han Qingyun rested his chin on Lu Yanyan's ear and said, "Wife, your title of No. 1 Scholar's Wife is gone.

Lu Yanyan chuckled, this guy is quite imaginative.

She turned and looked at Han Qingyun's handsome face.

Among this batch of tribute candidates, some are too old or have ugly appearances. I am afraid that Han Qingyun's palace examination results will be ranked further back.

Han Qingyun also figured it out now.

"Anyway, I still have Huai Jin, Huai An, and Cheng Kang. Among these three guys, one might even get the top six. I'll go give Huai An some more homework later."

Lu Yanyan laughed out loud again. Han Qingyun now looked too much like the kind of parents who knew they couldn't fly high, but still wanted their children to fly as high as possible.

On April 2nd, Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan sent their five children to take the provincial examination.

On April 8th, the results of the provincial examination came out, and all five children passed the exam and became students.

Luocheng admitted 300 students this year, Han Huaijin ranked first, Mu Chengkang ranked second, Han Xigu ranked seventy-eighth, Lu Changan ranked two hundred and seventy-third, and Yan Xuewen ranked two hundred and eighty-sixth.

On the day the results came out, Yan Hui, his son, and Yan Yu burst into tears.

The eleven-year-old boy has a promising future.

In all these years, their Yan family has only trained two students. Yan Shian's studies are now in vain, and the hope of the entire Yan family lies in Yan Xuewen.

Lu Youtian was also very excited. He knew that Lu Changan had been making progress, but this was too much.

In the whole city of Los Angeles, there were nearly 10,000 candidates taking the Tongsheng exam, but only 300 were admitted. His grandson was one of them.

Smoke is coming out of the Lu family’s ancestral grave.

Lu Youtian wanted to laugh, but couldn't help but cry.

Lu Changan stepped forward and hugged Lu Youtian. Lu Youtian could no longer hold back and patted his grandson's back, crying and laughing like a child.
