The daily life of a peasant girl taking the imperial examination

......

Half an hour later.

Zhuge Yunshu looked at the results in the buckets of the three of them and couldn't help but shake her head.

So he quickly ran to Li Dani's and Zhang Xiulan's houses and called Yunfu, Yunman, Yunxiang, Mai'er, and Cao'er to help.

It was a paid service. When Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang heard that they would not only get copper coins, but Da Hua would also give their daughters extra tutoring at night, they waved their hands and quickly sent their daughters who were still practicing calligraphy away.

Originally, Li Dani had planned to have her son, Gouzi, help earn copper coins, but Zhuge Yunshu didn't hold back and directly posed three probing questions:

"How much of the Three Character Classic have you memorized? How many characters do you recognize? How many large-character practice sheets have you done?"

So, without looking back, she led the three sisters away gracefully.

Seeing this, Li Dani pointed at her son's head and said angrily:

"You good-for-nothing! In the same amount of time, why can your sisters finish their homework while you're the exception and dragging it out until now... We both came from my belly, so who did you take after to be so clueless..."

Hearing his mother's words, Gouzi hesitated, but after thinking about it, and wanting to ensure he had a full meal that day, he finally decided to kindly remind his mother, and so he said:

"Mother, you've forgotten again. Didn't you say yesterday that my sisters are as smart as you, while I'm as stupid as Father..."

So, it's all his father's fault.

Li Dani: "......"

She didn't know whether to be happy or not.

......

On Zhuge Yunshu's side, after a morning of hard work, the base of the old house in Zhuge Village was thoroughly cleaned by the group.

Although it was a bit of an exaggeration, Zhuge Yunshu was quite satisfied with the three small buckets of white particles mixed with wood ash.

So he took out thirty copper coins from his pocket, gave six to each person, and reminded the five of them, including Sister Mai, to come to her house to learn these words after dinner.

Then, he took Zhuge Yun Chu and Zhuge Yun Xi and jogged home.

However, Mai'er, Cao'er, Yunfu, Yunman, and Yunxiang were stunned for a moment when they saw the six copper coins that Da Hua Meimei stuffed into their hands.

After realizing what had happened, Zhuge Yunfu looked at the other four and said excitedly:

"We actually earned six copper coins this morning!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuge Yunmai continued:

"Yes, Big Flower Sister is really generous."

At this moment, Zhuge Yunman looked at the four excited people and hesitated before speaking:

"I don't want to give all these copper coins to Mother. Although she and Father are very good to us sisters now, who knows how long they can keep it up?"

As he spoke, he took out two copper coins from his hand and hid them in his shoes, one in each shoe.

After doing all this, she looked seriously at the four terrified people, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"Yesterday, didn't Sister Yunshu just tell us the story of 'prevention is better than cure'? I'm doing this to prevent my mother from becoming like she used to be, so I'm making plans in advance..."

Also, from today onwards, we should all call Big Flower Sister Yun Shu Sister. It sounds much better that way, understand?

Zhuge Yunxiang always believed that whatever his sixth sister said was right, so he readily followed Zhuge Yunman's example and hid the two copper coins in his shoe.

The other three hesitated, but they secretly felt that Yun Man's words made a lot of sense, since their parents had been unreliable for a long time.

Besides, Sister Yun Shu said that we should "take precautions before things happen," and she is one of the most capable people in Zhuge Village.

Listen to her, you can't go wrong.
