Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Before, the books Xu Yun submitted were either from books directly or copied by himself.

But Xu Yun thought about it and felt that it would be a waste of time if he had to copy everything himself.

It is now late autumn. The order to hold the imperial examination will be issued in the winter of next year, and the first imperial examination will officially begin in the spring of next year.

All in all, it’s less than half a year.

Although the first exam was only a county exam in the county town, if one failed the county exam, one would naturally not be eligible to take all subsequent exams and would have to wait another year.

For others, failing once is just fine.

But for Xu Yun, this was only one chance.

Therefore, she couldn't waste any time and had to seize the time to read and study.

Without the guidance of a famous teacher, Xu Yun was actually far behind others. But now, even if she wanted to learn from a master, there was no place to learn from. She could only use the stupid method, which was to memorize, read, and study.

She had no family support, and the books she could afford were not that kind. Therefore, she also needed the support of the library.

So, she thought of a solution.

That is, with such great capabilities in the library, couldn't she just copy down the words while she was reading?

The library originally disagreed, saying there were no regulations.

It took her some effort to convince the pedantic minds in the library.

But the library deducts a few points to redeem for the scanning fee of each book.

Xu Yun had no objection - as long as she didn't copy the materials herself, then these points would be given to her for free by the library!

It's given for free, why would you be dissatisfied?

Moreover, all the books she has collected can be read for free!

Where in the world can you find such benefits!

Not only is it a pie in the sky, but it’s also filled with pure meat!

Xu Yun was very happy. He took some effort to keep calm and went to work as if nothing had happened.

It takes half an hour to walk back to the house from West City.

That's it, we have to go faster.

However, there are buses in the city of Peking.

This was what the bookstore clerk told her when she got off work today.

There was only one line, which was the carriages surrounding the palace, passing through the four major districts in the city.

This bus is operated by the government.

Bus is the abbreviation of public horse-drawn carriage.

There were quite a few such carriages, running every quarter of an hour. The driver was responsible for collecting the fares - one coin for short distances, and one more coin for each city district crossed. The most expensive was no more than four coins.

Xu Yun took the bus today.

Then he gave three coins.

The carriage was not actually much faster - but it could save half the time, and there were chairs to sit on in the carriage, so the three dollars were well worth it.

However, even so, not many people were sitting in it. There were only twelve seats in the car, and only half of them were occupied.

It can be seen that most of the people sitting here are from well-off families.

Xu Yun sat in the carriage, looking at the thriving scenes outside the carriage, and suddenly he had a thought in his mind that even if he passed the exam, he might not be able to achieve anything.

There were all kinds of strange ideas in the city of Peking that she could never imagine.

Who has ever thought about something like a bus before?

Not only that, there are bus stops, rules for going left and right, and this wide road is divided into horse paths, sidewalks, crosswalks, etc. These are all new things.

But it is indeed a good thing that can make the city more organized.

Xu Yun recalled how he had heard others describe the city of Beiping in his previous life: Beiping is different from anywhere else!

Yes, they are all different.

No two places are alike. But each is better than the other.

Xu Yun was lost in thought and amazed all the way.

After returning home, Xie Wanqing was also talking to Hongyu about the bus, which shocked Hongyu so much that her eyes widened.

Xu Yun could see that Xie Wanqing had gained a lot of experience after going out with Aunt Deng today.

She didn't interrupt, but sat down and listened together, and then she actually heard a lot of things she had never seen before.

For example, the Grand Theater. I heard that they have different performances every day, either singing or drama, but the tickets are hard to buy.

For example, if a primary school is to be set up in the city of Peking, it will specifically enroll children over the age of seven for education. No tuition will be charged, only some miscellaneous fees, such as food and book fees.

Not only that, if it is a deceased soldier’s family, even their tuition and miscellaneous fees will be waived and paid by the government.

Xie Wanqing sighed: "King Zhou and King Jiang must be very kind people. They are indeed different from others."

Xu Yun was already extremely shocked: "But now, many children in the city have deceased military relatives in their families. To support so many people to study for free - the Spark Army must be very rich..."

To put it bluntly, only the clan schools of the top few aristocratic families can achieve this level, right?

Xu Yun took a deep breath, because otherwise, she would not be able to calm down the excitement and turmoil in her heart——

She felt that she had glimpsed the purpose of the Spark Army.

The Spark Army is trying to shake up the influence of the aristocratic families on the imperial court, and is even going to end the aristocratic families' monopoly on power!

Something was stirring in Xu Yun's blood, but strangely, her expression was exceptionally calm.

Then Xu Yun smiled.

She thought sincerely: That’s great, it’s really great.

Xie Wanqing was a little worried: "I don't know if this will cause trouble in the future."

She was born into a noble family, so she naturally knew what kind of impact the Spark Army's behavior would bring. But now, the Spark Army has come to this point with the support of many families...

After those families realized what the two kings were thinking, would they really not do anything? Would they really just sit there and wait for death?

Xie Wanqing frowned.

Xu Yun knew what Xie Wanqing was thinking. She smiled and said, "It won't be a mess for a while. These things won't be very useful in a short period of time."

Therefore, it is far from the point of breaking off relations. These families will still work with the two kings to stabilize the situation and build the city of Beiping first.

Without waiting for Xie Wanqing to worry about anything else, Xu Yun asked about the banquet: "Are all the things prepared for today? How is Aunt Deng's etiquette learning?"

Speaking of this, Xie Wanqing's expression instantly became complicated. She opened her mouth, then sighed and said in a tangled way, "I haven't learned it very well. Otherwise, Ah Yun, you can pretend to be a maid and follow her, and give her some advice."

Aunt Deng is also very good at other things.

But I'm slow at learning this and I can never get the hang of it.

After hearing what Xie Wanqing said, Xu Yun knew what the situation was like and nodded immediately: "If it really doesn't work, this is the only thing we can do. However, we still need to practice etiquette."

Otherwise it would be more than just a joke.

But I’m afraid of offending people.

"Oh, by the way, today, someone gave eight servants to Aunt Deng. I don't know what happened to them now." Xie Wanqing talked about another thing: "We found out after we came back from shopping that the family left them at Aunt Deng's house. Aunt Deng was very angry."
