Chapter 170 Mission 016
Countryside families don't have many rules like those of wealthy families, so it doesn't matter if Xiao Yu wakes up late on the second day of her wedding because she just traveled through time. After washing up, he took Wang Nianyun to the main room to have breakfast with Shao's father and Shao's mother.
Now in the Shao family, Wang Nianyun's status is very high, because now the Shao family is begging her, hoping that she can use the dowry to support the original owner's study for the imperial examination, so naturally they will not be dissatisfied with the two people having to wait for their parents-in-law on the second day after their wedding.
When Xiao Yu arrived, he did not change the image and personality of the original owner at will. As soon as he finished breakfast, he said, "Go to the study to read" and then turned around and left. This made Shao's mother, who originally wanted him to spend more time with Wang Nianyun, a little embarrassed. Wang Nianyun explained: "This child just works too hard..."
Although Wang Nianyun felt a little disappointed, she still didn't know about Su Ling, so she simply thought that her husband was really working hard and ignored her for the time being. So she said very sensibly: "My husband works hard like this, so he is young." It is easy to pass the exam to become a scholar, and it is just around the corner to pass the exam.”
This was said beautifully, and it immediately made Shao's father and Shao's mother smile.
Xiao Yu came to the original owner's exclusive study room, casually took a book and spread it in front of him, but opened the system mall in his mind.
At this time, his balance in the system mall was only 90 points. He had been doing tasks for so long, and he only had a total income of 370 points. As a result, he spent 250 points to open a system mall, and the remaining points were still the same as before. The rewards for the two mission worlds are fifty points each for completing the male protagonist's wish mission, and ten points each for conquering the heroine's system mission. The two mission worlds add up to one hundred and twenty points.
Later, he spent 30 points on a space nutrient solution from [Miscellaneous] in the system mall. This space nutrient solution was very useful in cultivating his portable space. Now his portable space has expanded to thirty square meters, which is more than before. More than ten square meters is much. The only thing that makes him regretful is that the system no longer rewards him with space expansion after completing the mission. However, unlocking the system mall is not bad, but the products in the mall are expensive →_→
Now that Xiao Yu's system mall has been unlocked to the second level, he only found that there are many more products on the main interface of the system mall, and those new products are very high-quality things, such as the mission card that he is very eager to get now - —You can skip a task. If he has this task card, he can skip the task of conquering the heroine Su Ling in this world. After the task is over, he can still get the reward of the task of conquering the heroine. Unfortunately, the price of the mission card required a full 150 points. Even if he completed Shao Qingyun's wish mission, he could not afford it.
After being a wealthy person for so many years, I now feel like a poor person.
At the end, Xiao Yu bought another bottle of space nutrient solution, the balance changed from 90 points to 60 points, and then closed the system mall directly.
Being strong yourself is fundamental, and you should not rely too much on external things. He comforted himself like this.
Xiao Yu poured the space nutrient solution into his portable space, and then ignored it. A bottle of space nutrient solution was enough for the portable space to digest it for a long time. With the gradually growing space, he could share the suppression of the laws of each world on him. He will have far fewer constraints in this low-martial world, and it will be much easier to complete tasks.

Shao Qingyun's wish is to be a highly respected minister, so if Xiao Yu wants to stand out as a child from a poor family, he must either take the imperial examination route or join the army.
In fact, he is more inclined to join the army. After all, his strength is worth showing off, and it is not easy to die on the battlefield. But he learned from Shao Qingyun's memories that now was the dynasty's heyday, with submission from all over the world and few wars. It was difficult to get promoted in the army. So if he wanted to complete the task quickly, he had no choice but to take the imperial examination route.
It is not difficult for Xiao Yu to take the imperial examination. Although he has never studied the Four Books and Five Classics before, he has integrated Shao Qingyun's memory and is extremely mentally strong, has good memory, and has very good reaction and understanding. He can learn these ancient No problem at all. It's just that talent alone is not enough to take the imperial examination. You also have to grasp the examiner's g-spot and cater to the examiner's preferences when answering questions. This is a bit troublesome for a farmer like him.
Since ancient times, the imperial examination path for children from aristocratic families has been much easier than for children from poor families. This is not only because of the learning environment and conditions since childhood, but also because those children from aristocratic families have enough connections to inquire about the examiners’ preferences and rely on extra points to recruit extra points. A child from a poor family with dark eyes has a lot of advantages.
Xiao Yu touched his chin, thinking about the provincial examination in the near future. It seemed that he had to prepare early and use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times... He felt that it was not difficult to pass the Jinshi examination. What was difficult was how to do it quickly. Promotion. Unless a civil servant has made great achievements or has strong connections, he has to pass the qualification examination, and he doesn't have that much free time to waste.
He then thought of his current wife, Wang Nianyun, and had to give up the idea of becoming a teacher with strong connections. Wang Nianyun was born as a merchant, a scholar, peasant, industrialist, and merchant. His status as a merchant was the lowest. Although he was rich and powerful, he was actually very discriminated against in the officialdom. This is why many children from poor families who were admitted to the imperial examination were given the dowry of merchant wives during the imperial examination. The reason why his wife went to court.
Now that Xiao Yu has a businesswoman as his wife, he will inevitably be discriminated against and looked down upon when interacting with other nobles, and his road to promotion will be much more bumpy. Unless he can become a master one day, he can get rid of this influence.
The original story is described from the perspective of the heroine Su Ling. It is only written that Shao Qingyun passed the provincial examination several times before the heroine was reborn. It is unknown whether he passed the imperial examination later. After the heroine was reborn, Shao Qingyun's title of scholar was revoked, and he had no chance to pass the imperial examination, let alone the imperial examination.
However, Xiao Ying estimated that if the original owner Shao Qingyun could really pass the imperial examination and become an official, Shao's mother would definitely treat Wang Nianyun as she treated Su Ling at the beginning. In her opinion, any existence that hindered her son's future must be kicked out.
But Xiao Ying would rather not do the system task and enter the punishment world in the next world, and was unwilling to divorce Wang Nianyun. How could he divorce his wife to make his future promotion smoother?
After taking Wang Nianyun into consideration, Xiao Ying decided to take a risk after entering the officialdom in the future.

When Xiao Ying was planning the male supporting role, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the study. He knew it was Wang Nianyun who came. After hearing her knock on the door, he flipped a page of the book and said, "Come in."
With a creak, the not-so-sturdy wooden door of the study was pushed open. Wang Nianyun, who was wearing a gorgeous dress and looked out of tune with the simple environment, walked in with a bowl of soup.
The girl's figure was swaying gracefully, and her beautiful face showed a gentle and sweet smile. She looked at you with loving eyes. Even if she gave you poisonous soup, few men could refuse it, right?
But Xiao Ying was not moved. He said indifferently, "Thank you for the soup, madam, but I don't want anyone to disturb me when I'm reading."
The smile on Wang Nianyun's face froze, and the soup in his hand was shaken and spilled a little. He was a little at a loss.
Seeing this, Xiao Ying sighed helplessly. Although Wang Nianyun is a vicious female supporting role in the plot, she is still a simple little girl now. He can't be too cold to her, otherwise he will push her to the path of evil.
He raised his head and took the soup bowl from her hand, looked at her seriously and said: "Nianyun, in fact, I know that your family looks down on me, so I have to study harder. When I pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, I will let you become an official wife and return to your parents' home in glory."
Wang Nianyun, who was originally a little unhappy and bitter, heard Xiao Ying's words, and suddenly felt a warm current in her heart. Looking at the handsome face of her lover, she felt that she loved him more and more, and she wanted to confess her love. She lowered her head, her face was shy and blushing, and her voice was light and soft: "My husband's heart for me, I understand... I hope my husband will pay more attention to his health when studying hard..." After that, she got up and left very embarrassedly.
Xiao Ying looked at the soup bowl still on the table in front of her and felt a little relieved. It seems that a girl in love is relatively easy to coax. I just hope that she will not turn evil like in the original book, otherwise it will be too troublesome. After all, there is a powerful male protagonist Jiang Li standing behind the heroine. He is already worried about getting promoted quickly, and he doesn't want to provoke the male protagonist, a stumbling block, because of her stupid behavior, which will extend the mission time.
When Xiao Ying was making detailed plans for the future and reviewing the Four Books and Five Classics in the study, Wang Nianyun returned to the room happily, sitting in front of the window looking at the potted plants on the windowsill. From time to time, she thought of what Xiao Ying said to her in the study just now, and smiled secretly.
"Miss! Miss!" At this time, her personal maid Qiu Ju ran in hurriedly.
Wang Nianyun, interrupted from her sweet memories, looked at Qiuju unhappily and scolded her lightly: "Why are you so flustered? You have no manners!" But she was in such a good mood that she didn't sound angry.
Qiuju said to her with a worried look on her face: "Miss, I just heard a piece of news. My son-in-law..."
Wang Nianyun showed a sweet expression again when she heard that it was news about her husband, "What happened to my husband?"
Qiuju hesitated. Looking at the young lady's appearance, she really didn't know whether she should tell the news she had heard in Shaojia Village.
