Qiao's steamed stuffed bun stand reopened, but Ruan Siyi's letter stand did not open. Qiao asked him to study hard and strive to be admitted to the scholar next year. This year's food and drink expenses, the money to sell the house can be used for a long time.

Yes, so do they return to their places of origin. The Ruan family's title was taken away, and they were not in the queue that could not participate in the imperial examination.

Ruan Siyi devoted himself to learning. Qiao went out to set up a stall. He read books and occasionally helped mother Chen take her daughter. Seeing that Qiao's stall was closing, he went to pick her up.

The next year, Ruan Siyi entered the examination room full of confidence, but failed to pass the examination.

After the results came down, Ruan Siyi was decadent.

Before the age of 18, he was a good seedling in his husband's mouth. His poems, songs and articles were not bad. Later, he was discouraged and left his knowledge for many years, but now he seems unable to pick it up.

He didn't want to take the exam again and was going to continue to set up a stall to support his family. Qiao scolded him and said, is it difficult that your dream of more than ten years can be put in front of you one day, but do you agree?

Yes, that was what he longed for most in the bottom of his heart a long time ago. This longing had been there since he took the pen, but it was limited by his identity and could only be pressed at the bottom of his heart.

Yeah, how can he recognize counseling?

He can throw away his dignity, face and honor for more than 20 years and become a poor scholar who writes letters on behalf of others. All his self-esteem, spirit and backbone have been lost. Now why can't he afford to lose?

Just start over! In the past few years, he had already crushed the former romantic fourth master Ruan. He could piece himself up a little bit. Now he's not afraid to start all over again!

One year, two years, the third year, Ruan Siyi was finally admitted to the scholar.

The next year he took part in the rural examination and failed.

At this time, Ruan Siyi can face failure calmly, and his mind has been honed by the secular world. He found a private school and taught people as a teacher. In his spare time, he helped Qiao take care of the steamed stuffed bun stall.

In the past three years, Qiao became pregnant again and gave birth to a son named Ruan Zhiyuan.

After three years of accumulation, Ruan Siyi came to an end again. This time, he won the solution of the rural examination.

The whole southern Shaanxi was shocked, but Ruan Siyi quietly returned to the capital with his wife and children.

After seven years, I returned to the familiar and strange capital again.

Ruan Siyi bought a house in the slum where he once lived. Although it was not the one he sold, it was very close to there. Many neighbors don't know the family who just moved in. Only the old neighbors remember the scholar who set up the stall in the street and the baozi landlady sitting next to the scholar.

No one knows that the scholar today is no longer the scholar, but Jie Yuan Ruan Siyi, who caused a sensation in southern Shaanxi in this autumn.

Southern Shaanxi is too far from the capital. Xie Yuan is too small to hit several small officials when he drops a sign.

The capital began to bustle, and more and more people gathered in the capital to be among the students of the son of heaven in the next spring.

At the same time, Ruan Siyi ran to set up a stall in the street again. Qiao's steamed stuffed bun stall didn't open again. She wanted to take two children. She really didn't have time.

In the spring and February of the 14th year of Jingtai, the spring Wei photo period opened for trial.

Ruan Siyi was admitted to the examination institute on the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year and was discharged from the hospital on the evening of the seventeenth day. Qiao had already hired a carriage to wait at the entrance of the examination institute. Ruan Siyi jumped into the carriage and fainted. Qiao shed tears of heartache.

Ruan Siyi slept for three days and nights before waking up. The high-density examination for nine consecutive days exhausted his physical strength and energy, and then he waited for the release day.

When the release day came in late February, Ruan Siyi ranked 12th among the tribute scholars.
