Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 228 Dissatisfied
"That's right! My brother-in-law doesn't like to end up, but back then, my brother-in-law had to pass the exams for talents and candidates, but now his son is the best!"

The tone of the second wife, Mrs. Zhang, was a bit exaggerated, which made people feel that she was acting strangely.

The Zhang family was not from a famous family, his father was Zhang Fugui, You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but he was a fifth-rank official, one level lower than the Grand Master.

The Zhang family has been poor peasants for more than three generations. It was not until Zhang Fugui's grandfather was admitted to Juren and went to a poor place to find a county magistrate, and then the Zhang family began to make a fortune.

Ordinarily, based on the rank of the old man, even if the second old man is a bastard, he should not be called such a family.

But Zhang Fugui's cousin, Zhang He, is a man who knows how to make a living. He passed the Jinshi examination and entered the Hanlin Academy.

Although the rank of the lecturers of the Imperial Academy is not high, the officials of the Imperial Academy are close ministers of the emperor.

The Zhang family became an official family, changed families, and even climbed to the rank of third-rank official. Isn't this just a leap into the dragon's gate, completely getting rid of the mud-legged background.

Mrs. Zhang was born in a small family, but these years she has been learning the way of the aristocratic family. Although the eldest wife and the others look down on her and feel that she is petty, they will not make things difficult for her, after all, it is rare to see her several times a year.

"Xiaoqi has such grades, why haven't I heard from my uncle? It's true. I had to give lectures to Xiaoqi a few days ago. Now that I think about it, it's really out of class. It's no wonder that Xiaoqi had nothing to do at the time. It’s already well established, and I don’t need to add more to it.”

As Su Yichu said, he shook his head in shame.

But these words from his mouth are very harsh, Su Yizhao naturally can't let him ruin his reputation.

The last time we met, Su Yichu just said something in passing, and asked someone who didn't understand, it was just a polite remark, why is it being used to ridicule her now?

Su Yizhao got up quickly, "Although there are a lot of talents in the academy, after all, there are many students in the world, but they are only the top among hundreds of people, and the juniors don't dare to be proud."

She shook her head as she spoke, and then said to Su Yichu: "Second Brother is now a scholar, and the provincial examination is also very promising. Teaching Xiao Qi is just as easy as pie, and Xiao Qi is too late to be happy."

Su Yizhao's attitude was very humble. She bowed to everyone, and when she was about to sit down, she could hear the old man above her suddenly speak.

"Xiaoqi can get the first place in the monthly list and the quarterly list, that is his ability. But don't be arrogant, otherwise you will just sit and watch the sky. The old man heard some rumors among the students that there are countless talented people outside of this academy. Those in Northland and Jiangnan On the other side, there are several people who have already emerged, and the court is also very optimistic about it."

The old man stroked his beard and said solemnly.

But he didn't say anything, in fact, Su Yizhao was already famous.

Before, Su Huai also said that he had heard in the market that some students were dissatisfied with this young prodigy who had just emerged and wanted to fight with Su Yizhao.

It's just that Su Yizhao usually doesn't go to the bookstore, but goes straight to Li Shouzhi's yard.After school, it disappeared even more.

In fact, Su Yizhao didn't know, whether it was inside the academy or outside the academy, everyone was very dissatisfied with her long-term occupation of the top of the list.

There are also many students who want to fight with her, but Li Shouzhi always refuses for her with various reasons.

In Li Shouzhi's words, there is great hope for being a scholar in the exam.That being the case, why waste time fighting with those who are less talented?
Who is a truly talented person who is not working hard for the end?Wendou is not bad, but it has to wait until the examination of scholar.

At that time, her vision will be much higher than it is now, and the people who are looking for her will naturally be replaced by a group of talented people.

Su Yizhao expressed that he was used to Li Shouzhi's failure to play cards according to the rules.

Her understanding was that Li Shouzhi didn't want her to be so high-profile before she left the stage. This would not do any good, and would only raise everyone's expectations of her.

In fact, Su Yizhao didn't care, she still focused on the exam.

But her non-response made those people quite critical.

Everyone speculated that because Li Shouzhi is the teacher of the academy, Su Yizhao got the first place because of his relationship with the teacher.

There are other strange remarks, and there are still people who speculate that she has a close relationship with the head of the academy, and even suspect that she gave a big gift, which is really dumbfounding.

"Even the court is very optimistic about it? I'm afraid that if you pass the exam, you want to take it under your sect?"

The old man naturally understood the meaning of the old man's words, he glanced at Su Yizhao, and then fixed his eyes on the bewildered Su Wenqing's face.

Needless to say, this concubine is smart, but he just refuses to contribute to the family, wasting his talent for nothing.

In any case, if Su Yizhao has talent, he can no longer ignore it.

He is the son of the eldest son, and even the future patriarch.As long as the Su clan can prosper, so what if it is a concubine?
Their Su family needs successors in order to be invincible.

He didn't want to admit it, but he knew it in his heart.Now the Su family is supported by his father, but once his father becomes an official, even if he is promoted to a higher level, it will only be from the fourth rank.

The Su family's status in the court will definitely plummet. Even if they are jealous of the talent of the concubine's father and son, in order to revitalize the Su family, and especially for the eldest house, Su Wenqing and his son must contribute.

"Since ancient times, it has been a good story to catch a son-in-law under the list, and it is also the best time to jump into the dragon's gate. Those officials are thoughtful, what's the point? Why not take in two talented disciples to help the family in the future? "

The third master nodded and sighed, his tone full of emotion.

"Xiaoqi, learning is endless, and practice goes far, do you understand?"

Old Master Su didn't say much, but stared at Su Yizhao with piercing eyes, very sharp.

"Xiao Qi would like to follow the teachings of his grandfather and uncles, and he must be vigilant, burn the ointment and continue the sundial, and dare not slack off!" Su Yizhao immediately responded respectfully.

"Okay! If you win this time, it will be the blessing of your ancestors, and it is also the result of your hard work. If you don't win, you don't need to be discouraged, you are still young."

The old man looked at Su Yizhao with admiration in his eyes, how could he not see if he was proud in his heart?
Humility is real, and so is talent.He had passed Su Yizhao's school exams before, and he had seen many questions from Su Yizhao, so he knew what Su Yizhao's grades were.

It is no exaggeration to say that my old son was not as intelligent as this kid back then.

If it fails this time, it can only be said that it is God's will.

It's just that you can't say enough, he likes it, but you can't say it, so as not to change the child's temperament.

Everyone was very surprised by the old man's words, so many descendants in the family have suffered, but they have never heard a word of encouragement from the old man.

When did the old man say that if you fail, you don't need to be discouraged?

Quite a few grandchildren are a bit tasteful, and some of them have passed the exam, but why did the old man care so much before?
A concubine, or a concubine's concubine, is he really valued by the old man?
