The daily life of a peasant girl taking the imperial examination

system:"......"

"Host, please don't complain. Put your hand on your heart and tell me, since you started attending the clan school, you've only entered the 'Serve the Country and the People' system a few times. Every time you finish studying at night, you eat dinner and go to sleep. You always find various excuses not to study and keep putting it off until tomorrow."

"Don't you know that tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there? Wasting time is shameful, please cheer up, host," the system earnestly advised.

"System, I've suddenly realized you've become quite cultured."

"Of course! While the host is in class during the day and sleeping at night, I'm working hard to learn about this world. This system isn't as lazy as the host," the system said arrogantly, not forgetting to belittle her.

The system suddenly changed its tone, "Host, you should know that knowledge is priceless. There are golden houses and beautiful women in books. This is not just an empty saying. Study hard, and you will achieve financial freedom in no time."

"Look, your parents, grandparents and relatives are working in the fields on an empty stomach. If you just put in a little effort, you can give them a better life. It's a pity they have a lazy granddaughter/daughter/niece/cousin like you."

"System, stop talking. Starting tonight, I will definitely study hard and study diligently." Zhuge Yunshu realized that the system must have recently been studying some kind of brainwashing technique, otherwise why would its words strike her so deeply?

Seeing Zhuge Yunshu's reaction, the system patted the Lazy Man's Brainwashing Manual in its hand with satisfaction and continued, "Host, as long as you upgrade your calligraphy again, you can start your ancient book copying career. This industry is very lucrative and can also solve your family's current predicament."

Zhuge Yunshu thought about it carefully and felt that what the system said made sense. Now her only way to make money was to use her calligraphy skills to copy books.

Their family has been having a tough time lately. They just paid four taels of silver for exemption from corvée labor a while ago, and then their younger brother is getting married in a few months. The dowry and pre-wedding preparations have cost them a lot of money. To save money, Grandma Chen has been working hard to cut back on the food at home.

I don’t know if it’s because studying is mentally taxing, but her appetite has increased a lot, and she’s never full after a meal.

Moreover, I'm becoming increasingly lazy, lacking motivation, and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be.

Zhuge Yunshu suddenly thought of something, "System, I just haven't entered the Serving the Country and the People System to study for a day, you wouldn't really deduct my IQ points, would you!"

The system chuckled and said, "It seems the host has finally thought of this. Knowing full well that you are committing this crime is unforgivable. If this system hadn't covered for you, you would probably have become an idiot."

"Does the host still remember the rules when you activated the Serving the Country and the People System? You must study in the system for eight hours every day, and you must concentrate when studying in the system, otherwise your IQ and points will be deducted."

Upon hearing this devastating news, Zhuge Yunshu wished he could turn back time.

Yes, she regretted it. You have to understand how hard it is to get IQ and points. The system is always stingy with the rewards, but if you make a mistake, you lose five or six times the reward.

Since hearing the news, Zhuge Yunshu has been listless all day. The others didn't think much of it when they saw this, at most they just muttered to themselves: Look how hungry the child is.

And decided to bring more food tomorrow for my junior sister/cousin.

Zhuge Yunshu had no idea that after today, her good days would begin.

She's feeling down right now, and she can't even muster the energy for her favorite dinner.

After quickly eating a few bites, I went to my room to rest, saying I was tired.

Meanwhile, at the Zhuge family's dinner table, Zhuge Yunli was being interrogated by the entire family.

Grandpa: "Shuanzi, was Dahua bullied at the clan school?"

Grandma: "Dahua usually eats so much, it's so unusual for her."

Uncle and Aunt: "Is the pressure of studying too much?"

Second Uncle and Second Aunt: "Is she sick?"

Zhuge Laifu and his wife: "They may have been traumatized."

My cousins ​​said, "They might have been punished by the teacher."

Zhuge Yunli: "..."

I'm panicking. How would I know about what happened in Class A? Please, have mercy.

The entire Zhuge family: "Shuanzi, why don't you say it!"

The humble Zhuge Yunli trembled, "How should I know? My cousin Da Hua and I don't even study in the same room. We're in two different classes, A and B."

Second Uncle and Second Aunt: "What use are you?"

Zhuge Yunli: "..."

Zhuge Yunshu had no idea what kind of argument had occurred in her family because of her low spirits.

At this moment, she is checking her information in the "Serving the Country and the People" system.

Name: Zhuge Yunshu / Zhuge Dahua

Gender: Female

Appearance: Dark-skinned and skinny (what a waste of a good foundation).

IQ: 102/200 (average person)

Talent Values: 31/100

Laziness rating: 80/100

Points: 80

Skill: Calligraphy (10/100)

Random tasks:

1. Completed studying ancient early childhood education books before the clan school exam (already completed).

2. Obtained a place in the ethnic studies examination (completed)

3. Became the top scorer in the entrance exam (completed)

4. Gained the appreciation of the clan school master (exceeded the target)

Zhuge Yunshu saw that her IQ had decreased by 10 points and her laziness had returned to its previous value. Although she felt bad, it was less than she had imagined, and at least she hadn't lost any points, which was some consolation.

You should know that in the days before, even after she entered the Serving the Country and the People system, her attitude towards learning was not correct.

"System, I didn't expect you to be so humane. I want to apologize to you here. I'm sorry," Zhuge Yunshu said apologetically.

The system grunted: "No need for an apology. This is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time."

"System, after this setback, I've decided that I will study diligently from now on," Zhuge Yunshu declared firmly.

System: "We hope the host will keep their word."

Deep down, it was a mess of tears and snot. Being bound to such a lazy host was the worst luck it could ever have. Luckily, it had finally seen the error of its ways, and its miserable days were finally over.

[Ding! Random task issued by the system]

Zhuge Yun's memorial: (? ○ Д ○)?

Zhuge Yunshu felt that the system was going too far. Now it not only required her to study hard, but also to be likable.

She's not a flower that everyone loves!
