The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

The two people sneaked into Sun Youcai's room, "Brother Sun, Li Changxi is not going anywhere today. He can't move, he just wants to study."

Sun Youcai smiled and said, "Haha, then just leave him alone."

He asked Zhao Juren privately about Li Changxi, and Zhao Juren told him the truth. Li Changxi's level was enough to be admitted as a boy student, but not enough to be admitted as a scholar.

As long as they fail to pass the exam, the Li family will still be a farmer. Even with Gongsun Lian's support, they will not be able to enter an official career.

Sun Youcai felt that he had studied well recently. Zhao Juren said that if he performed well, he should be able to be admitted as a scholar.

If you study hard for another three years, you will be able to pass the examination.

Even if you don't pass the Jinshi exam, it doesn't matter.Because of his uncle's relationship, he can arrange an official position in a place like Zhenxiguan.

By then, he would have completely turned over.

The Li family, whom he once looked down upon, would still look down upon them in the future.

Although Li Changxi realized his conscience and studied hard in the last three days, the imperial examination is never a temporary achievement and requires years of hard work.

Although Zhao Juren's private teaching and the guidance of the county school master made Li Changxi make some progress, it was only progress and no qualitative change.

When it was time to set off, Li Changfu and Wu Cuihong made arrangements with their families to take Li Changxi to Fucheng.

A small courtyard was arranged in advance near the examination hall. It was very clean and quiet.

Li Changxi was surprised, "Brother, when did you arrange it? I thought we would stay in an inn?"

"It has been arranged a long time ago. By now, the surrounding houses are gone." Li Changfu replied, "The conditions have been prepared for you, and the rest is up to you."

Li Changxi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, brother."

They don't know how to cook, but they hired a woman who specializes in cooking, and the food tastes pretty good.

Li Changfu was responsible for escorting Li Changxi to the exam for half a month, doing his best.

Li Changfu didn't ask Li Changxi how he did in the exam, but every time he finished the exam, Li Changxi came out with a smile on his face. He must be very confident.
On the contrary, Li Changxi saw that his eldest brother did not ask. After all the exams were completed, he smiled and asked his eldest brother, "Brother, aren't you curious about how I did in the exam?"

Li Changfu waved his hand, "If you do well in the exam, or if you do poorly, it's all my brother. This is an exam for you. Just live up to yourself."

Li Changfu didn't have such big ambitions, he just wanted his family to be safe.

As for my younger brother becoming the number one scholar and becoming a high official, this is something that happens but cannot be expected.

The reason why he had this idea was entirely because his scumbag father Liu Yunde failed many exams, which made Li Changfu not have a good impression of people who were obsessed with imperial examinations.

If you don’t have expectations, you won’t be disappointed!

Li Changxi smiled, knowing that his eldest brother still had a bad impression of his father, "Brother, I won't let you down."

After about ten days, the results were released.

Li Changfu and Li Changxi went to see the list together. By the way, Li Changfu didn't want to see the list either because of his scumbag father.

There was no servant at home, so the scumbag father sent him to run errands and read the list.

However, the fourth brother's body was too thin to squeeze in. He was worried, so he pinched his nose and followed.

Starting from the front, I didn’t see Li Changxi’s name when I reached the last one.

Li Changxi followed his elder brother in disbelief, "Impossible? I...why didn't I pass the exam? Did I fall behind?"

When the people on the side heard this, they mocked angrily, "If you are not on the list, you have not passed the exam. What's so surprising about this? If I failed, I would have failed five times!" Li Changxi didn't believe it and read it from beginning to end again. Once again, I still couldn't find my name, and I was lost.

On the contrary, I saw the names of three people in the county school. They were all very hard-working students in the county school.

Sun Youcai, Wang Dongliang and Yang Zhigang prided themselves on their status and did not come to see the list in person. They all sent their servants over.

The boy doesn't know much about literacy, but he knows his young master's name. Read it from beginning to end!
No!

Several boys were anxious and scared.

If the young master fails the exam, he will lose his temper, and they will suffer accordingly.

They also saw Li Changxi's dejected look, and they didn't pass the exam. They felt a little more comfortable and thought about what to say when they went back.

Seeing this, Li Changfu patted Li Changxi on the shoulder, "If you don't pass the exam this time, there will be a next time. Keep working hard."

Li Changxi was crestfallen and silent. He was so happy before, but now he is so depressed.

I obviously did well in the exam before, why not?
Every time he did a question, Zhao Juren would praise him for doing well.

He also did the questions according to his usual practice, so why can’t we?

"Brother, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Li Changxi followed his eldest brother, a little embarrassed, "If the family knew about it, they would probably be very disappointed too."

Li Changfu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his younger brother's embarrassment, "If it were before, maybe everyone would have hoped to study and lead the whole family to turn around."

"But it's not necessary now. Life at home is very good. If you can pass the exam, that's the icing on the cake. If you can't pass the exam, it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of spending some money. Our family can afford it. .”

"You, on the other hand, have always wanted to make progress in the imperial examination. Have you worked hard? Have you tried your best? This is something you should consider."

Li Changxi thought about how he went out to drink and brag a few nights before the exam at the county school, which made his face feel hot.

He thought he was great and would definitely pass the exam, but he didn't.

When I think about the scumbag dad taking the exam 21 times before passing the exam, I feel chills running down my spine.

He wouldn't have inherited his bad luck from his scumbag father and failed every time, right?
If this was the case, he would rather listen to his mother and take the exam again next year. If he fails, he will fail.

He doesn't have such a great reputation, taking exams for so many years.

"Brother, I was wrong." Li Changxi lowered his head, feeling very regretful.

Li Changfu smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Li Changxi was embarrassed, "When I was at the county school, I was flattered by people's compliments. I even went out to eat and drink with them at night."

Li Changfu sneered and pointed at the three people who had just been admitted to the scholar examination, "I heard from my eighth cousin that those three did not pay 100 taels of silver and relied on their usual hard study to pass the exam."

"On the other hand, you, Wang Dongliang and others paid 100 taels of silver, but none of them passed the exam. You guys are rich and go out to eat and drink without working hard. It's just as well that you didn't pass the exam."

Li Changxi looked at the three people who had just passed the exam and cupped their hands, "Congratulations to Brother Xu, Brother Li, and Brother Liu."

"Thank you." These three people also squeezed out from the crowd. They knew that Li Changxi had not passed the exam, so they tried their best to suppress their excitement and were very humble in front of Li Changxi.

Li Changfu pointed at Sun Youcai, Wang Dongliang, and Yang Zhigang who were angry with the boy over there, "Look, what kind of friends do you usually make?"

"You can't pass the exam, but you beat and scold the boy. Such people are the most useless. It's not a boy's exam, so why should you vent your anger on others?"

Li Changxi's face turned red and he was speechless. (End of chapter)
