[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Most of the exams for children's students are post scriptures. Generally speaking, as long as you have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, and some stereotyped essays, you can almost pass. Because next February is the children's exam, so it was arranged by the teacher in the school. The homework is to copy books.

For Wang Yue, this is a very simple matter. The only trouble is that he needs to work hard to practice his calligraphy.

Now he is still young and lacks wrist strength. Although he has the background of his previous life, he can only write well and correctly, and he can't do more.

Practicing calligraphy is a matter of years and years, and next February will be the Tongsheng Examination. Even if you work hard now, you can't change his calligraphy much, but what Wang Yue wants to cultivate now is his own habit, so he is even more serious. Be careful.

The children who made an appointment to do their homework together were originally half-aged, and boys at this age couldn't sit still. The reason they made an appointment was because they wanted to play while writing. The reason why they made an appointment at Wang Yue's house was because they were Among them, Wang Yue has the best grades, and everyone in the family is willing to let them play with Wang Yue.

Originally, they came here with the intention of playing, but seeing Wang Yue's writing was very serious, they also became serious.

Because they need to read while copying, and Wang Yue knows it by heart, although he needs to be careful when copying, and the speed slows down, but it is still faster than them.After Wang Yue finished copying the book, she previewed tomorrow's homework, and everyone finished their homework.

A few friends made an appointment to go out to play together, and Wang Yue followed. Although his mental age was older than these children, he was also the most aware of the ways of the world. If he behaved too differently, will inevitably be isolated.And he still needs to rely on these older children to protect him in the private school so that he will not be bullied.

Furthermore, after sitting in the private school all day, the body is already very tired, and it is time to go outside to relax.

A few children played until it was dark before returning home. As soon as Wang Yue entered the room, he smelled the tempting fragrance, and his mouth was induced by the fragrance to secrete a little salivation. He hurried to the kitchen and asked: "Mom, you're killing chickens again!"

Seeing Wang Yue coming in, Mrs. Liu quickly took a chicken leg out of the pot with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, handed it to Wang Yue and said, "Ban'er, hurry up and eat, you see that you are so tired of studying that you have lost weight."

Wang Yue took the chicken leg with a smile, and saw his sister Wang Qing'er staring at it greedily, so she said to his mother, "Mom, I'll go to the main room to eat."

"go Go!"

Wang Yue ran to the door with the bowl in her arms, and quietly waved to his sister. Seeing Wang Qing'er nodding secretly, he went back to the main room.

After a while, Wang Qing'er sneaked out of the kitchen and came to the main room. At this moment, Wang Gou'er was weeding in the field behind the house, and there were only two siblings left in the house, so Wang Yue said to Wang Qing'er: "Sister, come here quickly. , I left meat for you!"

Wang Qing'er hurried over and saw that Wang Yue left most of the chicken legs in the bowl for her. She couldn't help swallowing when she saw the fatty chicken legs, but she only dared to pinch a piece and stuff it into her mouth to satisfy her hunger. I dare not eat any more.

"Sister, you can eat some more!"

Wang Qing'er quickly shook her head. Mrs. Liu knew that Ban'er would leave her food every time, so she specially asked her not to eat too much, and not to let her compete with her younger brother for food. Shi has always been like a god, wishing to listen to Liu Shi in everything.

Seeing that she really didn't dare to eat more, Wang Yue reached out and tore a piece into Wang Qinger's mouth, then tore another piece and stuffed it into his own mouth. Wang Qinger dared to chew the chicken leg meat just now.

Seeing her like this, Wang Yue felt sore, and said to Wang Qing'er, "Sister, when I pass the Juren exam, I will make you eat meat every day."

Wang Qing'er didn't take it seriously when she heard this, but she was very happy in her heart. She parted her mouth and smiled, revealing her bare gums after losing her teeth. This smile made Wang Yue feel even more sad.

In fact, Wang Qing'er can't be said to have suffered in Wang's family, at least compared to other girls in the village who are beaten and scolded at every turn, and have to do heavy work every day, but at home they can only eat leftovers and wear leftovers. The rags are much better, and at least they don’t have to be beaten or scolded in the Wang family. Although the Liu family doesn’t pay much attention to Wang Qing’er, they have never deducted her food and clothing expenses, and have never let her suffer from hunger or cold. Just let her learn needlework at home and help out with some kitchen assistants.

No one can find fault with the Wangs and his wife, and outsiders will feel sorry for Wang Qing'er's good fortune when they see it.

But in Wang Yue's view, the cold and violent treatment of Wang Qing'er by the family members is probably more uncomfortable than the material harsh treatment.

However, Wang Yue couldn't say anything to them.The reason why his father, Wang Gou'er, didn't like this daughter was because the Wang family had been single-passed for four generations. This daughter is also a little uncomfortable.

And his mother, Mrs. Liu, had suffered enough from not having a son.

The Wang family was an upper-class family in the village back then, and if the Liu family could marry into the Wang family, they could be regarded as the right family. At that time, the Liu family also had hundreds of acres of land, and they did not have to worry about food and clothing. As the only daughter, the Liu family really enjoyed everything. parental love.

But who would have thought that once his father passed away, the uncles in the clan would take away all the land left by his father on the grounds that his mother had no sons.

Even though my mother is usually very shrewd, facing her uncles and uncles accusing her of not leaving incense for the Liu family, this makes grandma Liu a lot shorter by nature, and she has no confidence when arguing with those people. He is kind and well-connected in the village. Those elders were concerned about the reputation of the Liu family. They were afraid that people would say that they bullied the orphans and widows. They couldn't see how Liu's uncles made progress, so they came forward and left two yuan for Grandma Liu. land.

If it wasn't for Wang Yue's grandfather who had planned ahead of time before he died, betrothed Liu Shi and left her a dowry alone, Liu's mother and daughter would have suffered a lot.

When Mrs. Liu married into the Wang family, Wang Yue's grandma stared at Mrs. Liu's belly every day because the Wang family had passed it on for several generations. She was very disappointed when she gave birth to a daughter even though she was pregnant only a year after marriage.

Fortunately, the dowry that Mrs. Liu brought over was quite generous, and it was not impossible for her to have children, and she was protected by Wang Yue's father, which made Mrs. Liu's situation better.

However, from then on, Liu secretly vowed to give birth to a son.After another three years, the Liu family gave birth to Wang Yue, which gave her confidence in the Wang family, and was able to take Grandma Liu into her own home to take care of her after the death of the Wang family's grandma.

So it's no wonder that Mrs. Liu is unwilling to hurt this daughter who crawled out of her stomach. It is really her daughter who made her suffer a lot.

As for Grandma Liu, the only regret in her life is that she did not give birth to a son to inherit the incense of the Liu family. She does not think there is anything wrong with her daughter loving her son and ignoring her daughter. As a servant, as for the so-called cold violence, it would be nice to be able to eat enough, so why bother to talk about that!

In the entire Wang family, only Wang Yue loves his elder sister. In the eyes of Wang Gouer and Liu Shi, this son of their family is naturally very kind. To be kind to his sister is to understand the meaning of filial piety at a young age, except for Liu Shi who told him in private Wang Qing'er didn't eat a lot of what his younger brother gave him, and the others didn't have any doubts about Wang Yue's approach.

Wang Qing'er is very introverted, she doesn't like to go out usually, and she doesn't have any good girlfriends in the village. Liu only thinks that her daughter's beauty is more attractive to her future husband's family, not only never encourages her daughter to go outside to play, He also often praised Wang Qing'er's sensible behavior of staying at home, which made Wang Qing'er love staying at home even more.

Wang Yue knew that Wang Qing'er's mentality was wrong, but other people's words were light, and even if they said it, their parents would only listen to it as a joke, so they could only shut up and treat Wang Qing'er better in private.

However, he has already figured it out, whether Wang Qing'er will be able to marry happily in the future depends on his brother, as long as he is a promising younger brother, he does not believe that his future brother-in-law will have the courage to bully his elder sister.

"The meal is ready, Qing'er, come quickly and get the bowls and chopsticks!"

"Understood, Mom!" Wang Qing'er hurriedly wiped off the greasy around her mouth, and ran to the kitchen. Wang Yue also jumped off the bench and ran to the back of the house to call his father back for dinner.

Wang Gou'er had already smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen at the back of the house. At this time, his stomach was empty and he was so hungry that he put away his hoe and followed Wang Yue into the house as soon as he heard that he was about to eat. At this time, the lunch in the main room had been set, and the family took their seats one after another. After Wang Gou'er picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes, everyone began to eat.

Of course, the chicken legs and two chicken arms were reserved for Wang Yue. Wang Yue was not too polite, and he ate very happily. Seeing Mrs. Liu and Grandma Liu smiling, Wang Gouer was also very happy. Although the family was getting more and more difficult, but Finally, I see hope, as long as Ban'er passes the childbirth test, those old relatives who have been estranged in the past can get back together, and there will be many ways to make a fortune by then.No longer have to worry about running out of money at home!

Thinking of this, Wang Gou'er looked at Wang Yue with a more loving expression. The old man called me a waste snack every day. Hmph, although I am a waste, I have raised a good son anyway, which is better than you!

But Ban'er is still too young, and the family doesn't know anything about imperial examinations, so don't worry about losing face, let grandma take Ban'er to Jia's house in advance, maybe you can get away with it, or give your husband some present?
