Chapter 145

Wu Qingwei couldn't help being taken aback after hearing what Father Zheng said.

"Tanhua?" She muttered to herself, and looked up at Qian Duoduo and Qian's mother who were equally astonished: "Did I hear wrong? My father said he was Tanhua?"

Qian Duoduo nodded in disbelief: "Master, you heard me right, it's Tanhua, the most handsome Tanhua."

Wu Qingwei didn't care about Qian Duoduo, her heart was beating very fast, too many things had happened during this period of time, and she was about to fill her head with not enough, who knows, another blockbuster came today.

"It turns out that your father-in-law and Duoduo's father are students of the same scientific examination class? He is Tanhualang?" Qian's mother also suddenly realized, and grabbed Qian Duoduo's hand beside her: "No wonder. No wonder I heard your father always Talking about, it doesn't matter what he does, he still has a family background. But that Tanhualang, who came from a poor family and has excellent literary talent, ran to the capital to take part in the scientific examination. After such a blow, I don't know how he will live in the future Woolen cloth."

Qian's mother looked at Zheng's father's face on the bed, Ming Ming was not very old, but his face was full of vicissitudes, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

"So, when my father went to the capital to take the scientific examination, he passed the examination, but unfortunately, he was disqualified from the scientific examination?" Wu Qingwei's eyes widened.

No wonder, no wonder Zheng's father was obviously very talented, but after a visit to the capital, he came back depressed and refused to speak out no matter how the family asked him.

The location of Qinghe County is too remote, and the news is relatively closed. Maybe the next scientific expedition has already started before the news has come back, so no one pays attention to this matter at all.

Father Zheng, just like this, buried all the suffering in his heart for 18 years!
Wu Qingwei's eyes were filled with distress.

When I first came to Zheng's house, the whole family, including the elderly Mrs. Cai, were positive, optimistic, cheerful, easy to get along with, and had a very positive outlook.

Only Zheng's father did have some opinions on him.

He locked himself in the room, not looking, not listening, not paying attention, not wanting.

It seems that the whole person is isolated from the world, and it is really no responsibility to put all the burden of the family on a few women.

Even in the later stage, he cheered up to sell soy milk, but he couldn't erase the lack of him in the past ten years.

Therefore, Wu Qingwei only got along with Zheng's father on the surface, but she always felt that he was avoiding something, not like a man.

No matter what happened back then, tell it, everyone knows about it, can they also understand what you did?
However, after hearing what happened to Father Zheng, Wu Qingwei deeply understood Father Zheng's unspeakable feeling.

At the beginning, he stole 20 taels of silver from Wu's father and fled to the capital. He broke the boat and fought with his back, just to realize the ideal in his heart, and he would not turn back until he hit the south wall.

Finally, the result lived up to expectations, and he was admitted to Tanhua.

This is equivalent to the third in the country in modern times!
Wu Qingwei couldn't help marveling secretly, it is really rare to have a Jinshi from a poor family, let alone the top three in the scientific examination!
It's not that students from poor families don't get good grades.

Rather, coming from a poor family, there are quite a few things that I can't help myself.

The most important thing is family conditions.

When the family is still running around for food and clothing, then, how can it be possible to calm down and study hard?
Students from well-to-do families don't need to think about these at all. They just need to learn, and someone will take care of them for them.

But poor students, it is not acceptable.

To make money, to support the family, and to save all the expenses for studying.

A student from a well-to-do family wants to practice calligraphy, buy paper, pen and ink, and just wave his hand and make a request.

Students from poor families can only save as little as possible. Paper is so expensive, even more expensive than rice flour, so what?
If the disadvantaged students have one hundred study hours, then the non-underprivileged students have one thousand study hours.

So what, to balance the tenfold gap?
How do you say that?

Then what time is quiet and good, but someone is helping you carry the weight forward.

Wu Qingwei sighed. Father Zheng finally passed the exam with such a result. He should have been shining brightly and returned to his hometown with honor.

However, reality taught him a lesson in the end.

If the results are cancelled, you will not be allowed to take the scientific examination for life.

Father Zheng was able to return to Qinghe County from the capital, and he didn't think about committing suicide, which is considered pretty good.

You have to know, in this dynasty, for such a persistent scholar, what this fame means!
And what does it mean to lose fame and not be allowed to take scientific examinations for life!
The old lady and wife at home are looking forward to it eagerly, how can he bear to say it?
After all, speaking out about this matter will not do anyone any good, and it will make the family worry about getting angry.

Wu Qingwei took a deep breath, it seemed that she had been blaming Father Zheng wrongly all this time, he was not a heartless person.

She said, how can a person who can give birth to two such excellent sons, Zheng Xu and Zheng Hao, be useless?
"Don't you know about this?" Qian's mother and Qian Duoduo's eyes widened in surprise, "Your father-in-law actually kept it from your family for 18 years?"

After hearing Wu Qingwei's explanation, the two of them felt very incredible.

"Back then, Duoduo's father, we took turns to persuade him, and even dispatched many nobles. After five years of depression, he got better. Your father-in-law, just carried it by himself, and no one said anything?"

Seeing Wu Qingwei nodded invisibly, Qian's mother sighed quietly; "Students in that class were not easy. Your father-in-law is a high-minded person, otherwise, if you don't think about it, you may do something stupid."

"The one who won the second place is an example." Qian's mother's eyes were full of sadness: "I heard that before the doctor arrives, the person is gone, cut his wrist."

Wu Qingwei's heart beat fast: "Cut your wrists?"

She couldn't imagine how the entire Zheng family would have lived if Father Zheng had chosen such an extreme method back then.

Although Father Zheng seems to have no sense of existence and lives in a simple way, after all, he is still a pillar and a man.With someone like him around, no one can do anything to the women and children of the Zheng family.

However, if Father Zheng is gone, then the people in the family will have nothing to rely on. At that time, will all ghosts and snakes come out to find a sense of existence?
In this day and age, this is quite normal.

Father Zheng, this is using his own strength, enduring the pain in his heart, and propping up the sky for his family.

In the end, raising the two sons was a blessing in disguise.

It was only at this time that he expressed what was in his heart, making people feel sorry for everything about him for no reason!
"Oh. So, at that time, I thought, as long as Duoduo's father doesn't disappear in such an extreme way, he will be fine, even if he doesn't do anything, but he is still alive."

Mother Qian picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. Wu Qingwei immediately became respectful to Father Zheng.
