The process of the prefectural examination is similar to that of the county examination.
This year's provincial examination will begin in late April. Li Qingzhi, Zhu Xunmiao and others have agreed to go to the provincial city at the end of March. After that, they will go to the provincial government office to register, and then stay in the provincial city to review their lessons and wait for the provincial examination.
The day before departure, Jin Xiaoye took time to pack Li Qingzhi's luggage.
During this period, she asked Fang Jinniang to make several new clothes for Li Qingzhi. Li Qingzhi no longer had only one good piece of clothing to wear like he did at the beginning.
"Aqing, do you want Xiaoshu to accompany you?" Jin Xiaoye asked.
She had actually always wanted to visit the provincial capital, but she couldn't leave now because the goods that Wu Baichuan and Madam Zhu wanted were waiting for her to make.
Li Qingzhi said, "No need. We will take the Zhu family's boat this time. We will stay at the Zhu family's house when we arrive in the city. I can go alone. Didn't Xu Qifei go alone as well?"
"That's fine, but I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhu again." Jin Xiaoye said.
Li Qingzhi smiled and said, "Master Zhu would love it."
He was speaking from the heart.
As a businessman, Zhu Qian was very keen on investing in scholars and was also happy to make friends with them.
Zhu Qian wished he could make more friends with people like him and Xu Qifei.
Jin Xiaoye thought for a while and said, "They think much further than I do." She only wanted to do a good job in the current business, but Zhu Qian thought about the future and tried hard to make friends with scholars.
"How old are you and how old is he? You don't have to compare yourself with him." Li Qingzhi took advantage of Jin Xiaoye's inattention and kissed Jin Xiaoye on the face.
Jin Xiaoye rolled her eyes at Li Qingzhi and coughed softly: "Cui Cui doesn't cry at night now. Let her stay in the same room with Da Mao and Er Mao tonight?"
Some time ago, Chang Cui, Li Damao and Li Ermao had been living in their house.
During the first few days, Chang Cui cried every night.
During the day, the child plays with Jinmao in the morning and with Li Damao and Li Ermao in the afternoon. He doesn't cry much anymore, but when it comes to going to bed, he will sob because he misses his mother, grandmother, and uncle.
But she has stopped crying these days, and listens attentively to Li Qingzhi's stories every night... Of course, if someone mentions her family to her, she will inevitably cry again.
Jin Xiaoye felt sorry for the children. Li Damao and Li Ermao were her sons, so she didn't mind them sleeping in her room.
But because of these three children, she and Li Qingzhi have not had the chance to get close to each other during this period!
Li Qingzhi held Jin Xiaoye's hand and whispered, "After they fall asleep tonight, take them to Da Mao and Er Mao's room."
Chang Cui is still in a state of panic, and she is very dependent on Jin Xiaoye... It would be better not to let her move out for the time being.
But can I take him out in the middle of the night
After the children fall asleep, they are like little pigs and cannot be woken up. Even if you move them to another bed, they won’t know anything.
He also wanted to get close to Jin Xiaoye.
Although he had physical contact with Jin Xiaoye every day these days, he had tasted the meat and was not interested in any soup.
So that night, the three children were quietly moved to another room.
The next morning, the couple got up refreshed and went to Li Damao and Li Ermao's room to wake them up.
