From this we can see that it is not easy to get into a scholar.

For the subsequent exams, the college exam is just a small test. The provincial exam is one test every three years, each exam is three tests, and every three days is a competition between mental and physical strength.

If you pass the provincial examination, you will be a juren, and the next year will be a juren. Next is the palace examination that will make thousands of students dream of.

The father of the Shen family saw Wang Tongsheng's past experience and made a three-year agreement for them. On the one hand, he was afraid that they would not be able to make a living in the future if they failed the exam for a long time.

On the other hand, the Shen family's financial resources are not enough to support them to study at the same time.

Chen Kang understood very well and nodded, "Dad thought very carefully, so let us father and son make a contract on this. If we cannot pass the high school scholar within three years, we will immediately drop out of school."

Chen Cheng still felt that he owed the child, so he sighed softly and put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Chen Wang did not say much about Chen Cheng's suggestion. She looked at Chen Cheng silently and said, "Dad, don't worry. When the place is taken back, our family will have ten acres of land. After deducting taxes and food and drinks, there will be two or three taels of silver a year. You are just afraid of poverty."

Two, three or two silver?

Chen Kang looked at Chen Wang in surprise, his eyes full of shock, and he couldn't say a word. His heart kept beating "dongdong" and turned his eyes to Chen Cheng.

Excluding taxes and rations, ten acres of land have only two or three taels of silver in a year?

Chen Cheng looked at his eyes, raised his hand and folded his fingers and knocked on his forehead: "Are you stupid?"

Chen Kang bit his lip and asked, "Dad, you can only earn two or three taels of silver a year?"

Chen Cheng sneered: "The children of the farmer's family can't even settle the amount of money. It's all your mother spoiled you." As he said that, he shook his head again.

Chen Wang said: "Our family is full of fertile land. One acre of grain can produce one and a half stones, and ten acres are fifteen stones. Although your elder sister is not at home, the four of us have to eat about seven stones a year. We are taxed ten pounds of rice a year. After this calculation, the grain that can be left with more than four stones a year is equivalent to two or three taels of silver. Do you remember?"

Chen Kang nodded, and suddenly felt a little heavy. How could he allow such a family to support two children to study at the same time?

I have to find a way to get rid of poverty and become rich.

That night, except for Chen Kang, everyone slept very sweetly, and they also had a smile on their dreams because they had two or three taels of silver left in a year.

The moonlight fell in his eyes, reflecting the bright white snow, making it even more difficult for him to fall asleep.

People are poor and have short ambitions!

He wondered, should he sell something?

For example, egg cakes are called "Phoenix Egg Jade Cake". Will anyone buy them?

"Puff" he laughed himself. This kind of street snack might cause a sensation at the beginning. But the method is too simple. Anyone who eats it several times can probably make it. It's not just this one, and the business will get worse and worse.

Make money by writing books?

No, it’s good to be a child who is not bullied by the bookstore. Besides, his cultural level is probably not even considered a seventh-level in this era, so it’s a fantasy to talk about any business.

For example, what about making stinky tofu? Combine some modern marketing methods to make it popular in the scholar circle?

A famous scholar who is famous for his elegance will probably not put such things with a strong irritating odor in his mouth even if he dies, right?

In this way, he can't sell at a high price, and he can't sell at a high price. When will he sell the tofu one piece at a time to make enough money? Where can he still have time to study?

He unconsciously raised his hand and twisted the sleeves of his sleeves and frowned slightly.

As he thought about it, he was secretly worried, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

The next morning, it was dawn, Chen Kang got up, washed his face with the cold well water, changed into clean clothes, and looked at the reflection in the water, and realized what he looked like...

Due to his long-term weakness, his face was paler than that of ordinary people. He had a small jade-white face, his eyes were clearly black and white, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes, which made people unable to explain.

He couldn't help but praise the powerful genes of the Shen family's parents. He originally saw his second brother Chen Chang look like a young man and was so majestic that he was not bad. Although he was still a child, his starry eyes, misty temples, red lips, white teeth, and clearly saw that he had starry eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and patted his chest. His little chest was as thin as a paper man. The road ahead was far away. What could this body do?

I have to start exercising.

Chen Cheng put a car on the side of the ox and called Chen Chang and Chen Kang to the two brothers, and rushed to the county.

The ox cart drove into the Xiping County town and rolled the wheels across the stone pavement, making a clattering sound. Chen Kang once again felt the strong ancient atmosphere. There were many shops on the roadside, and the shouting and hawking sounds were very distinctive.

As the years approached, various shops posted peach talismans and spring posts in advance. He looked carefully and found that there were actually merchants selling Spring Festival couplets on the roadside.

This elegant and wealthy wind blew towards him. Chen Kang looked carefully and saw that the vendors were all wearing clean and tidy thick cotton clothes, with a red face.

Occasionally, the official officials who passed by were wearing fat, dignified, beautiful and generous cloud shoes! Seeing many wealthy families passing by, even the young workers who were rushing the carriage were wearing shoes and hats.

It turned out that the people of the Ming Dynasty were so rich. Shen Kangxin was happy. Instead, he thought that he probably was born in a relatively wealthy Central Plains area, so he was fortunate to see such a folk custom.

If it weren't for the evil wolf in the village, my family's situation would have been much better.

The lively and prosperous scene infected him, and he felt a faint joy in his heart. He saw the air not far away filled with steaming heat, and the smell of meat buns penetrated into his nose. He was sure that it was a bun made of pork and green onion.

I came out of my house in the morning and drank some millet porridge. After more than half an hour's journey, it had already melted. He swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say anything.

Chen Chang poked his hand, flattened his mouth and looked at the meat bun stall that was about to pass by. He lowered his voice and said in his ear: "When my second brother grows up, I will buy you meat buns to eat."

Chen Kang nodded with a smile and replied in a low voice: "Buy two, eat one and throw one."

When Chen Chang shook his head and smiled, "Buy five, each of our family will be one."

Chen Cheng, who was driving the car, said: "Go to pick up Ning Niang first, let's get the New Year's goods together."

"Sister can go home for the New Year!" Chen Chang jumped and was very happy.

Chen Cheng smiled, and was also happy in his heart, saying, "Yes, Ning Niang came back to find someone and said that the master's family sent all the servants who had not signed the contract to sell their bodies home for the New Year, and then came back to work after the 18th day of the first lunar month."

"That's great!" Chen Chang said with a smile: "I haven't seen my elder sister for more than half a year." He looked at Chen Kang and said: "Why are you unhappy? Have you forgotten that my elder sister changed your diaper?"

Chen Kang's face turned red: "Second brother!"

"Oh, dad, look, mistress is embarrassed!"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Miss, let dad see."

Chen Kang blushed like Cui Jian’s famous song: a piece of red cloth. He wanted to bury his face in his clothes and said, “Sister has changed your diapers for you too!”

Chen Chang was stunned, then his face turned red: "Who said that!"

Chen Kang smiled and showed eight white teeth: "What the elder sister said."

"Impossible, how could I wet the bed at the age of six like you? It's impossible." Chen Chang blushed and said firmly.

Chen Cheng said: "You think you are better than the mistress. You still wet your pants until you are eight years old. In the cold weather, Ning Niang went to the river to wash your pants. You didn't change your pants, so you got into the quilt and didn't get into the ground for two days..."

"Dad!" Chen Chang's wailed, which attracted passers-by to look at each other frequently.
