Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

After chatting with Aunt Luan and Mrs. Yu, Jiang Mingyue felt much calmer. They didn't leave until the end of Xu Shi that night. When they left, Qi Yongsi gave them a medicine bag, saying that it was made by herself and had a soothing effect.

Jiang Mingyue happily took it and said she would hang it by the bed. She didn't know if the medicine bag had worked. She had a good night's sleep. The next day, Jiang Mingyue went to Sun's house and Zhao's house early to ask for help. The two said goodbye.

At the same time, Xie Yuan came to the government office. After he summoned everyone, he ordered Chen Rong to write down their basic information and their positions in the government office. Then he sent a letter to inform the county magistrate below, and he would visit the government office three days later. .

After everyone dispersed, Xie Yuan looked at Yuanjiang Mansion's tax revenue, population, and how much land it had.

This sight made Xie Yuan frown. Yuanjiang Mansion was very large, and it was a very prosperous mansion in the south, but the registered population was not as large as he had imagined.

Because of the population, the tax revenue of each county is much lower than he thought. The only interesting thing is that there are many scholars. There are five or six private schools in each county. The total number of registered scholars in each county is 123. .

Apart from these, there is almost no money in the government warehouse, and there is not much food in the granary.

Xie Yuan spent the whole morning reading the important information and then closed the book. The previous prefect left him a complete mess. He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

In Wanping County, Jiang Mingyue said goodbye to Sun and Zhao, and returned to Kyoto with her younger brother in the afternoon.

Due to the enrollment of Hengshan Academy, it is obvious that Kyoto is much more lively than before, and there are many more stalls on the roadside.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the snacks, and after some discussion with her brother, she simply got out of the carriage. They ate and walked, and returned to Qingshi Hutong, already full.

Because the younger brother was going to Hengshan Academy to take the exam in the early morning, the two siblings went to bed early that night. A little light just appeared in the east the next day, and the two siblings had packed up.

Jiang Mingyue handed her children over to her wet nurse and followed her brother out. They planned to go to Shen's Mansion and pick up Shen Yu to go to Hengshan Academy with them. Unexpectedly, they met him as soon as they walked out of the alley.

The three of them walked together and rode out of the lively inner city. Jiang Mingyue didn't know the way when she went there for the first time, so she followed Shen Yu and her brother the whole time.

The closer they got to Hengshan Academy, the more people there were and the more lively they became. In the end, the horses could no longer pass. Jiang Mingyue and the others had to dismount and handed the horses to the people who came with them. The three of them continued to rush to Hengshan Academy.

"Those who are applying for the exam stand on the right, and those who are seeing off stand on the left."

On the way, Jiang Mingyue heard shouting and looked at Jiang Minghong and Shen Yu: "Go quickly! Don't delay the exam."

"Sister, we have a day of exams, you don't have to wait for us, just go back after a while!" Jiang Minghong looked at his sister and warned.

"I understand, go ahead!"

Watching the two of them stand in the queue on the right, Jiang Mingyue followed the instructions and stood on the left, slowly moving forward with the people in front.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Mingyue looked at the long queue in front of her and breathed out slowly. There were so many people! It felt like there were more people than when Xie Yuan took part in the examination. Fortunately, Hengshan Academy was built in the suburbs. If it were in the inner city, there would be crowding and riots.

Jiang Mingyue stood in the crowd and couldn't see the head in front of her or the tail behind her. She could only move forward with the crowd.

It is worth mentioning that the younger brother and Shen Yu's team lined up very quickly. In just a short while, Jiang Mingyue could no longer see the two of them.

"Sister, look at the scholar in the blue brocade robe. Isn't he very handsome?"

"Keep your voice down, girl, be more reserved."

"I'm usually very reserved, but it's different now! Look at the one in white, he looks good too!"

Jiang Mingyue glanced forward along the source of the sound and found that the speakers were two young girls. They looked at the scholars queuing up to enter the examination room with bright eyes and excited expressions.

Jiang Mingyue withdrew her gaze and glanced back again. Well, there were quite a few young girls.

No wonder it recruits so many girls. In fact, Hengshan Academy recruits all young talents. Being young means having a bright future, and most of them are probably unmarried like my younger brother and Shen Yu. If these two parties see each other right, say Maybe it can even lead to a good marriage.

Jiang Mingyue, like the other girls, looked at the young scholars openly. Well, some of them were really handsome.

Of course, when Jiang Mingyue was appreciating the beauty, she also kept her ears open and listened to the gossip that others spent a lot of effort and money to inquire about or buy.

For example, there is a certain master in the academy who loves to paint bamboos, and a painting is worth a hundred taels. A certain master's calligraphy is so good that even the Holy One has praised it, or the accommodation conditions in Hengshan Academy are a bit crude, and one room costs 100 taels. There are six people living in the house, so everything has to be done by one's own hands, and children are not allowed to take care of children, etc.

Jiang Mingyue listened for a while and found that the most complained about food in Hengshan Academy was the food in Hengshan Academy, which was very unpalatable and bland.

Although students raise this question to the masters every year, those masters say that you are here to study, not to enjoy the blessings. Unpalatable food is also a way to temper your will. There is also a certain master who came from a poor family and said, There is no bad food. In short, Hengshan Academy will not change.

After vomiting more, Jiang Mingyue suddenly heard someone in the crowd say: "Masters and students eat together on weekdays. Masters can tolerate it, but students can't tolerate anything."

Listening to his words, Jiang Mingyue guessed that he was from the academy.

But after he finished speaking, Jiang Mingyue immediately heard someone retort: ​​"It was true at the beginning, but in recent years, the masters have had separate small kitchens, and they rarely eat with the students on weekdays."

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the person who was speaking, a very young girl. She thought that someone in her family was studying in the academy, otherwise she wouldn't know such details.

"So the masters themselves find it unpleasant!"

Jiang Mingyue listened to all kinds of gossip and felt that time passed very quickly. About two-quarters of an hour later, the speed in front suddenly became much faster. Jiang Mingyue raised her head and found that Hengshan Academy was in front of her. The students who were taking exams at that time They have all entered the academy, and those who came to take exams can only stand outside and watch.

Jiang Mingyue stood on tiptoes in the middle of the crowd and looked inside. Maybe there were too many students taking the exam, and the temperature was suitable. Everyone was taking the exam in the open air. There were many tables set up in the academy, with seat numbers and numbers posted on them. Name.

Students need to find their own seats. Jiang Mingyue found that although there were many people taking the exam, everyone was in an orderly manner. After finding their own table, they sat down.

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the students, but did not see her younger brother and Shen Yu. She did not know where they were arranged and whether their positions were good or not.
