Chapter 11 The Vicious Ex-Wife in the Imperial Examination 11

    ◎Flaws must be reported and ambition ◎

    It was very quiet at night, but Song Tingguan’s boat house was still lit with moonlight, and the bed curtains blocked the light, which did not affect Song Tingguan’s sleep.

    Song Tingzhou put on his clothes, bowed his head in front of the table and read by the lamp at night. He wrote quickly, and a piece of paper was filled with various problems and opinions.

    The first few words were still a little awkward, and the brush was not stable, but gradually regained the feeling of holding the pen at the end, and the hand was thin and sharp, and the handwriting was very elegant.

    Song Tingzhou did not copy the book for endorsement, but wrote down all the things he heard in the docks this year, and then wrote down his own views and solutions, such as a flood in a certain place, how to prevent it, etc. .

    read more, walk more. He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and it can be said that he has read a lot.

    Because my father has been studying since he was five years old, and has accumulated a lot of books for decades, and my grandfather is also a poor scholar. He only has one daughter, his mother, and the most expensive dowry back then was those books.

    It was only later that relatives died of illness one after another, and many of these books were sold for medicine money, which relieved the pressure, and the three taels returned to Uncle Song's family were obtained by selling books.

    But drinking medicine to suspend one's life is a bottomless pit. Since ancient times, mountains of gold and silver are not enough to cure diseases, and books are limited, so exchanging money like this is not sustainable.

    Song Tingzhou sold all that could be sold one after another, and the rest were rare books that he could not part with. Even so, his family still owed a lot of debts in order to hang himself with medicine.

    The money he earns this year is seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and the remaining bits and pieces add up to fifty taels. The heavy burden on his shoulders can be relaxed.

    The cost of studying is not less than the cost of medicine. Song Tingzhou originally didn't want to follow the old path of his grandfather and father.

    They have spent their entire lives in the imperial examinations, and they also died on the road. As men who stand upright, they did not protect the family from the wind and rain. Instead, they brought untold hardships. It seems that there is nothing wrong with choosing such a life path mean.

    It's just... thinking of Li Wan, his heart felt hot, as if a warm current had been injected into him, he wrote with spirit, and the thoughts in his mind gushed out like a spring.

    After he recorded everything he heard in the county, the five-knife paper he bought had already been used twice, and it was full of writing. Song Tingzhou put down the brush, pressed the paper carefully, and waited for the ink to dry. look.

    Song Tingzhou got up, took off his coat and hung it up, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed to sleep. Next to him was Song Tingguan, who was sleeping very deeply, and his sleeping position was not good, with his hands and feet sticking to the wall.

    He didn't feel much during the day, Song Tingzhou was used to the daily busy life, now this rest, the whole body relaxes, tired feeling welling up, very weak.
