Because I can only work in the daytime, it will take at least ten days to copy this book, and it will take more than a year to save enough travel expenses.

But the next rural examination will be one year later. If he can't pass the hospital examination as soon as possible, he will have to wait another three years.

The boy's mood became low, and Tang Xiaotang knew what he was worried about.

The imperial examination system of Daliang was extremely complicated. Students had to pass the college examination to become students of state colleges. Only those who passed the college examination with excellent results could participate in the local examination.

The economic expenses needed for the imperial examination were not affordable by ordinary families at all. Not to mention the tuition fees, board and lodging, but also the daily consumption of paper and ink, which accumulated a lot of expenses.

What's more, the number of people admitted to the scientific examination is not passed when the score is reached, but selected according to the proportion of the reference number of each province. Therefore, if the common people want to change their fate through the imperial examination, it is impossible unless they are born with a peerless genius.

In fact, Liu Jin had already passed the children's test. At that time, he was ready to take the hospital test, but Liu's mother suddenly became seriously ill, so he had to give up. After Liu's mother died, Liu's father became ill again and spent all his family's savings. Naturally, Liu Jin had no time and energy to take the test.

Now, he has time, but not enough money.

If ordinary people encounter such difficulties, they have no choice but to give up, or choose to continue to wait for three years, but for Liu Jin, a son of the world with great luck, this is not a big problem at all.

Tang Xiaotang knew that, according to the original track, it was the bookshop owner who copied books. Seeing that he was talented and hardworking, he borrowed money to him and asked him to take the exam in the government school.

Liu Jin, of course, was also a very important boss to help him save this money.

Tang Xiaotang does not know whether the other party will help Liu Jin this time, but with her, it is impossible for Liu Jin to starve to death.

If the boss still wants to help, she won't stop it. After all, this is an important way for Liu Jin to get contacts. But if the boss doesn't help, she can also help Liu Jin make money.

Looking at the boy sitting at the table carefully sorting out the paper, Tang Xiaotang thought.

Rice paper is all dry. Liu Jin makes them into a stack. On the top of it is a thick bamboo tube which is polished very smooth. Then he rolls up all the paper sheets like a bamboo mat. The outside is wrapped with cloth and tied slightly to prevent the paper rolls from spreading in the middle.

It's more convenient to carry. He has to start early tomorrow morning. He has to get everything ready today.

Tang Xiaotang is watching the boy pack up his things. After finishing his copy, he turns around and walks out of the room. Tang Xiaotang only hears the sound of rummaging in the kitchen and the sound of water. Then she sees the boy coming in with a bamboo tube and two biscuits.

Both ends of the thick bamboo tube are sealed tightly, and there is a piece of hemp rope tied at the bamboo knot, which should be the kettle here. The two cakes in his other hand look hard, just like two stones. When he put them on the table, Tang Xiaotang even heard the sound of "bang Bang".

It's a real "dry" grain!

Tang Xiaotang watched the young man tidy up things. She was just thinking about how to attract his attention. When he asked him to take her away, the young man took the initiative to pick her up.

"I'm going out tomorrow." The boy pursed his lips and whispered.

He didn't know why he wanted to talk to her about it. She was just a book. He didn't have to tell her anything about him. But he thought of the girl's voice during the day, which made him leave her here. There was always a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had done something wrong.

"Where are you going?" Tang Xiaotang knows it and asks.

"I'll go to the market, return the copied books and buy some more things." Liu Jin said.

"Take me with you." Tang Xiaotang immediately said, "I haven't seen your human market yet." Tang Xiaotang said casually, "when I was conscious, I was in the dark library with many books."

"Just put me and that book together. Don't worry. No one else can hear me. I just want to have a look. It won't cause you any trouble."

The girl's tone is very sincere. Liu Jin also wants to take her to the fair, but there are many people in the market, and there are many thieves. He has to buy rice after he has delivered the book. If there is any accident on the way

Seeing that he didn't answer, the girl's voice became a little urgent. She seemed very afraid that he didn't agree: "don't leave me at home, that woman will come back!"

When she saw that woman today, she had already peeped into this human being. Tang Xiaotang knew more about her character than herself.

Just after Liu Jin's father's first seven years, she came to ask a child for money. Even ordinary people can't do this, let alone she is Liu Jin's third aunt. This shows that this person is cruel and mercenary, and has no moral concept.

Of course, it's normal for an ordinary village woman to have no such thing. After all, the more ignorant people are, sometimes the more terrible things they can do.And it's not the first time that she has taken money from Liu Jin. According to Tang Xiaotang's analysis of the woman's character and her greedy character, when she gets the inkstone, she will not be reconciled to think of her in Liu Jin's hands, and then she will think that there may be other rich things in Liu Jin's hands.

But she has no reason to ask for money again, but tomorrow Liu Jin will go out, so the woman driven by greed is 90% likely to come back and steal.

After all, Liu Jin lives in the ancestral home of Liu family. It's quite remote here. Behind it is a large bamboo forest. Usually no one passes by, and Liu Jin lives alone. The low fence outside can't stop her at all.

At that time, she just needs to make up a reason. Even if she is suspected, there is no evidence in the ancient times without monitoring. And Liu Jin is her younger generation, when the time comes, she will be in trouble.

However, Tang Xiaotang also knows that Liu Jin will not believe what she said, but she chose to say it at this time with a purpose.

"Don't talk nonsense! How could aunt three do such a thing! "

Sure enough, the teenager who had never experienced anything frowned and refuted her. His tone was slightly cold, and he seemed to think that she was saying too much.

Tang Xiaotang didn't refute him either. She knew that none of Liu Jin's uncles and aunts were good. Later, she made a lot of trouble for him because of her meaningless blood relationship. Even after Liu Jin's character changed greatly, she cleaned them up and broke off their relationship, but she fell behind. The third prince seized the opportunity to join him.
