Group pet small koi: take Wang's family to farm and become the richest man

Chapter 101 The imperial examination is for the poor

Young Master Zhao who proposed to go to Taihang Village just now, although his family background is not as good as Young Master Qin, is more than rich in Shitou Town.

If you can't pass the exam, you can take the exam again. Anyway, the family can afford it, so he doesn't care about this autumn.

Mr. Zhao persuaded him half-jokingly.

"Oh, it's hard to get a holiday. Brother Chang, your knowledge is already top-notch in Shigu Academy. If you study for a few more days, we won't be able to catch up with you."

"You are so good and you still have to work hard, you should leave some opportunities for others!"

"I see those poor kids, if they want to get ahead, they have to work harder than Brother Chang!"

Hearing this, Chang Jingui felt only bored in his heart. He studied hard to gain fame, so how could he give up the chance of becoming a scholar to others?

It's almost as good as others gave him the opportunity!

Chang Jingui didn't like to refute, and only maintained a dry smile on the surface: "The imperial examination is important, but what is more important is what you have learned. The imperial examination is also a way to test your learning."

"If we can be admitted to fame, it will not be a waste of our time studying hard."

The high-sounding sound of these words made it difficult for people to find flaws and see through his thoughts.

This remark also attracted the applause of Huang He who was hiding in the corner reading a book.

Huang He walked over with his book in his arms: "Brother Chang is right, reading is the most important thing now, we have prepared three years of learning, isn't it just for Qiuwei High School?"

Seeing Huang He's appearance, Mr. Zhao's expression turned pale instantly, he rolled his eyes contemptuously at Huang He, and bossed around and laughed.

"My father said that scientific examinations are for the poor."

"Only the poor need to rely on reading to change their fate. Like our family, we don't need it. If I don't pass the exam in the future, I can still use the money to donate to the government."

"My father said about donating officials. He has already inquired about it. In the county next door to us, the position of a county magistrate can be donated to someone with [-] yuan."

"But I don't like it. The county magistrate is too young. He's just the second in command under the county magistrate. It's not interesting."

"If I become an official, at least I have to start from the county magistrate, and the top leader is worthy of my background."

Mr. Zhao changed the subject and taunted Huang He in public.

"I see that your father works in our academy every day. I heard that he still lives in a firewood house at night. Your family is so difficult. You must want to be a scholar?"

Huang He was ashamed and annoyed when people talked about his family, but he knew that the Zhao family had thugs. He didn't dare to provoke him, he clenched his fists in anger.

He blushed at this time, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I just want to be a scholar, and I will definitely be able to pass the exam."

"My family's poverty is my family's business. Mr. Zhao doesn't have to bring it up again and again. My father earns money by working hard in the academy. He is not ashamed!"

Huang He's argument only got ridiculed by other people present.

Chang Jingui had foreseen this time, and knew that Huang He's argument was self-inflicted humiliation. He had already seen it clearly, so he concealed his birth very presciently.

Look at him now, isn't he just sitting and staying out of it?

He will never allow himself to be belittled by the students of the academy like Huang He, and become a servant that everyone in Shigu Academy can bully.

Huang He straightened his back, turned and left, Mr. Zhao and the others laughed even more wildly, pointing at Huang He's back.

Chang Jingui sat by the side from beginning to end, he didn't participate in giving advice, and he didn't stop him. He was only worried about himself. As long as they diverted their attention and stopped clamoring to go to Taihang Village to play, he would be at ease.

After Huang He suddenly interrupted, Mr. Zhao and others did not continue to mention the matter of going to the countryside. Chang Jingui escaped and returned to his private room before exhaling a foul breath.

"Fortunately, fortunately." He patted his heart and sat down, pouring himself a drink to suppress his shock.

After such a commotion, Mu Xiu would definitely not be able to go home.

This is the last Muxiu before the autumn of August.

The master generously gave him a three-day vacation. If Chang Jingui used to be, he would definitely rush home non-stop.

Every time I go home, my wife and son will warm the kang, and his mother will definitely roast meat and boil eggs to welcome him.

Staying in Shigu Academy, there was no aunt to cook for the past three days, so Chang Jingui could only consider himself unlucky and buy food out of his own pocket.

After suffering for two days, I didn't meet Mr. Zhao and other dudes. Even Mr. Qin seemed to have forgotten him, so he didn't send anyone to call him.

Chang Jingui finally relaxed his vigilance, and decided to go out to the academy for a walk in the evening of the third day to relax.

As soon as he walked out of the academy, he happened to meet Mr. Zhao who was calling for friends and ran past the entrance of the academy on a tall horse.

He had already run past Chang Jingui, but Mr. Zhao turned his horse around and came back to say hello.

"Brother Chang, what a coincidence, we are going to Manxianglou for dinner, you should come too!"

Chang Jingui raised it vigilantly in his heart: "Uh, no need, I just ate and am going back to the academy."

Mr. Zhao is not willing to let people go so easily: "Oh, Brother Chang, you are too self-disciplined. Studying emphasizes the combination of work and rest. Why don't you go have a drink with us after dinner!"

"Just right, there are a few new brothers today, let me introduce you to each other!"

Mr. Zhao rides a horse high above the ground, although he is now surrounded by his friends, but in Mr. Qin's place, he is just a guy who competes with the servants for jobs and positions.

Mr. Zhao kindly motioned him to get on the horse and go together.

Chang Jingui was so frightened that he took a few steps back and cupped his hands in embarrassment.

"Brother Zhao please go ahead, I will come later."

Mr. Zhao was politely rejected, he was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Okay, I forgot that brother Chang fainted, brother Chang, please go ahead."

Chang Jingui stood there in embarrassment, watching this group of dudes flying away with whips and shocking the market.

He is not horse-sick, he doesn't know how to ride a horse. Although a gentleman learns the six arts, Shigu Academy has specially taught them, but his family can't afford a horse. After learning it a few times without much practice, he almost forgot it.

He can't ride a horse, not even a donkey, he really doesn't look like a son of a rich family.

Mr. Qin once asked, he said he fainted, and then he got over it.

By the time Chang Jingui walked to Manxianglou, the food and drinks ordered by Mr. Zhao and others had already been half served.

Mr. Zhao sat lazily and presumptuously, one person took the place of two people, and he waved his folding fan at Chang Jingui in the stairwell.

"Brother Chang, you are finally here, tell the brothers to wait."

These words caused everyone to laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Chang Jingui couldn't help thinking of Huang He's embarrassing situation a few days ago, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

How much he wants to learn how to ride a horse, he is not an outlier if he can ride a horse.

Surrounded by Mr. Zhao, there are a few familiar faces who often drink together.

There are a few unfamiliar faces, but everyone is wearing silk and satin.

Chang Jingui was dressed in fine cotton cloth, although it was embroidered with exquisite auspicious clouds and dark patterns, but in comparison, it was plain.
