Dong Nuan also felt that the weather was good today. After having breakfast with Gou Qingyun, she rode a donkey to send Hanjiang Tower to the examination room.
Considering that there might be a lot of candidates today, Dong Nuan didn't drive the car, so he let the donkey out alone and rode over.
Facts have proved that there are indeed many candidates taking the exam today, and many of them are local nobles in the county. There are more than ten carriages alone.
If Dong Nuan really drove a donkey cart over, he might not even be able to squeeze in.
Hanjiang Tower was ready early in the morning. Watching Dong Nuan come over, the two of them checked the things together again before leaving the small rented courtyard.
Hanjianglou was afraid that Dong Nuan would be squeezed in, so he motioned for her to sit on the donkey and he would just hold the donkey.
The small courtyard we rented was not far from the examination room, so we passed there in a short time.
It is necessary to check before the exam. The main thing is to prevent candidates from bringing cheat sheets and other things, and check more carefully.
After passing by, Dong Nuan tapped Han Jianglou's shoulder: "Hurry up and line up. I believe you will definitely do well in the exam."
Only after you pass the first exam can you take the second exam.
Only after you have passed the county examination can you take the prefectural examination, and then you can be qualified as a child student and enter the county school.
Dong Nuan believes in the strength of Hanjiang Tower, and of course the main reason is that Hanjiang Tower's performance is particularly reassuring.
Feeling the little girl's hand gently patting his shoulder, Hanjianglou nodded, with a faint smile on his lips: "Well, I know, if Nuanya feels tired, just find a place to rest.
, you can also go and play with the older girls. Don’t stand outside waiting all the time. The sun may be a bit bright at noon, and you will be tired from standing all day.”
Hanjianglou is not worried about his exam. He is 90% confident. After all, he studied in his previous life and studied for a year in this life. His foundation is good. It is just a county exam. It is not difficult for him.
What he was more worried about was Dong Nuan, a small girl. He was outside, and there were so many people outside today. If he met some unsightly people...
It's okay for ordinary people. Whether it's reasoning or taking action, there is always a chance.
Just be afraid of meeting some unreasonable powerful people...
Dong Nuan didn't think much about it, but she didn't want Hanjianglou to still worry about herself when she entered the examination room. Dong Nuan nodded obediently: "Yes, I know."
Seeing that Dong Nuan behaved obediently, Hanjiang Tower was relieved.
Soon, he went over to queue up, waited for the inspection, and then entered the examination room.
There were a lot of candidates, but the person in charge of the examination room was very fast. After all, the examination time could not be delayed.
Therefore, it will soon be the turn of Hanjiang Tower.
During the process, we also encountered some people who wanted to cheat with cheat sheets. After being found out, they all needed to be dealt with.
Dong Nuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief after watching Hanjiang Lou enter the examination room safely.
On this day, Hanjiang Tower will not come out, and many people are worried that they will keep waiting here.
Dong Nuan felt relieved and didn't want to be crowded here all the time.
So, she stayed for a while and then rode the donkey for a walk on the street.
The county seat is certainly much more prosperous than the town, with many more food stalls and various shops.
Dong Nuan also saw two wood carving shops, stood at the door and briefly looked at the craftsmanship of the wood carving masters.
Actually it's not bad, but the variety may not be as many as the winter warmth.
Because Dong Nuan had no intention of buying it, she didn't go in to look more, but turned around to look at the others.
This morning, Dong Nuan wandered around the streets, mainly inspecting the market.
After Hanjianglou comes to study here in the county, the focus of winter warmth will also shift here.
The shop in the town can be left to the family. After all, Dong Yao still needs to study in the town for two years. When the foundation is stable, the master said that it is time to leave and take the exam again.
If you are too young to enter the examination room, one is that your foundation is not good, which can easily affect the final results, and the other is that your mentality cannot be adjusted well, which can easily affect your future study path.
My family won't be able to come for a while, and the winter warmth can't stay in the town forever.
And her ultimate goal is not to spend her whole life carving wood, although if she puts her mind to it, it is actually easy to make money.
but……
It takes a lot of effort.
Another point is that I still have the power of plants. It would be a waste if I don't use it.
Therefore, Dong Nuan's next goal is to make money to buy land, preferably with Zhuangzi's kind, and then plant flowers and make spices, balms, rose water and other things.
These things are technically difficult and difficult to imitate, and they also have a lot of profit margins.
Especially for rose water, because the technical difficulty has never been overcome by the locals, and it relies on goods from foreign countries, a bottle of it was once sold for a hundred gold.
Although the price is not so exaggerated nowadays, a bottle of rose water can still easily sell for hundreds of taels of silver.
In comparison, making spices is more profitable and easier than carving wood.
Therefore, Dong Nuan must plan early and come to the county to make money.
After walking around all morning, I found a small stall at noon and ate a bowl of wontons. Although the sun was nice today, the temperature was not high. After eating a bowl of hot wontons, I felt very comfortable.
After eating and paying, Dong Nuan gathered her coat, took the donkey, and prepared to go to the examination room to have a look.
As soon as we passed by, we found that there were a lot of people gathered there. However, the dozen or so carriages crowded here in the morning had now been reduced by more than half, with only five remaining.
Dong Nuan was actually not very lively, but there were a lot of chirping sounds in his ears, which still let Dong Nuan know what was going on over there.
It is said that a girl whose hometown was hit by a disaster brought her younger brother to seek refuge with relatives. However, when they arrived, they discovered that the relative had disappeared two years earlier.
That relative used to be a steward in a wealthy family named Song here in the county. Now that he can't find his relative, the little girl is at a loss.
The people around her were still discussing, and Dong Nuan listened for a while with her ears perked up.
"The little girl looks very pitiful. It's a pity that we don't have the ability to help."
"Yes, that brother seems to be quite clever."
"Didn't Mrs. Song say that? If two people are willing, they can go to the house to serve."
"Then we'll just lose our slave status. Who would be willing to do that? I guess we'll have to think about it again."
…
Probably after hearing what happened clearly, Dong Nuan didn't make any preparations and didn't care too much.
If you have Zhuangzi, and you have money, you may consider helping poor people.
But now...
Forget it, I can’t afford any help!
Shaking his head gently and putting the matter behind him, Dong Nuan sat on the donkey and waited for Hanjiang Tower to come out of the examination room with his mind empty.
After the crowd dispersed, Dong Nuan took another look.
I found that the poor siblings had already thanked the people around them who kindly helped them, and then walked out with heavy steps.
When passing by Dong Nuan, my sister suddenly tilted her body and lay directly next to the donkey.
