Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 121
Both Xu and Yan Junze expected Yun Chengyao to ask for something, so there was no surprise on their faces, and they just said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Yun Chengyao clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The family has treated the second aunt and the eldest brother badly, and you have already punished them, but this cannot erase the fact that our family saved the second aunt. Regarding this matter, I don't have many requests, I just hope that you can make my official career more magnanimous, and guarantee that I will be elected and become an official!"

In fact, he wanted to speak directly and let them guarantee that he could be a marquis and a minister, but before he knew how powerful Yueshi's natal family was, he didn't dare to speak so loudly, and the request was too high, it was inevitable The other party was unwilling to make a move.

If it's just to ensure that he is elected as an official, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?In the future, he will naturally rely on his own ability to climb up step by step. He believes that he will not do worse than others!
Luo Jinxiu didn't have any idea whether he was doing better or worse than others, she just simply found it incredible.

How on earth could this person lick his face and make such a request to Mrs. Xu?And it's not like all kinds of euphemistic hints like before, I'm afraid that speaking too clearly will insult his identity as a scholar.

Is he really so honest simply because his little uncle told him to speak up?The Yun Chengyao she knew was not such a person who could listen to other people's words.

The answer is actually very simple, because in Yun Chengyao's heart, it is better to live a life of aggrieved life and find it difficult to display his "ambition" than to suffer for a while or feel humiliated.

Under the current situation, in fact, it is nothing to him to not hesitate to repay favors in order to achieve his own goals, and the most unbearable thing is Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu, two people who were previously despised People also read his jokes.

but……

After marrying Mrs. Ma, under the arrangement of Ma Xiancheng, he entered Qinghong Academy to study. Yun Chengyao thought that this was another step towards his future official career, but only after entering the academy did he realize that life has not gone as expected. So comfortable.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the students in the academy. For example, because of his background, he is generally looked down upon. The dean and gentlemen of the academy are both Jinshi and Jinshi. The students in the lower class also have a humble attitude under the influence of their ears and eyes. They get along well with each other, and most of the competition is benign, and there is nothing dirty about it.

But I can’t help some people who are naturally small-minded, arrogant and always feel that no one can match their knowledge. Even if they only got an epiphany in the middle school, it is still difficult to get rid of this inexplicable sense of superiority.

Then, in Qinghong Academy, Yun Chengyao was hit hard, and his self-esteem was seriously hurt.

Although he was recommended by Ma Xiancheng to enroll in the school, no one in the academy would specifically pursue him because of this, and even some scholars who came from a scholarly family have a higher grade than the county magistrate. I don't think he's anything special.

The only way to get the attention of other students, including gentlemen, in the academy is to be better than everyone else!
But the fact is, looking at all the students at the same level, his knowledge is at the bottom of the rope in every aspect!Anyone can easily compare him!

In the past, he boasted that poetry was the best thing he was good at. When he first arrived at the academy, he deliberately took out a poem that he revised several times in order to show off, and showed other students a poem that he spent a lot of time writing.

As a result, those students praised them a lot, but then they continued to discuss around the poems, and then they started to write poems on the spot when they were talking, and nine out of ten of them could match their impromptu poems. That one is shoulder to shoulder, even better!
At that time, he thought darkly, these people must have finished the poems behind their backs, deliberately pretending to compose poems impromptu, grandstanding and deceitful!

But many examples later proved that it was his own mentality that was too dark, and those students were indeed better educated than him, and they did better in poetry.

His slight advantage was wiped out without even a wave.

There are countless similar situations. In short, Yun Chengyao made persistent efforts, and then suffered repeated defeats. However, his behavior has always been nothing more than his own secret rivalry. Even if the students are aware of it, they will not say it outright. His face.

Occasionally, someone tactfully persuaded him to correct his attitude, don't always think about comparing with others, but compare yourself with yourself, as long as you can surpass yourself yesterday, it is enough, and then, Yun Chengyao became angry and misunderstood that It was deliberately humiliating him, thinking that he has no ability to compete with other people, so stop making trouble.

Yun Chengyao is unwilling to admit that he is inferior to other people, and various unreasonable thoughts emerge in endlessly, such as, those people are rich in knowledge because they are born better than him, and the education they have received since childhood is different. If he puts himself in the shoes of others, he will definitely be better than these people ;If there were no such troublesome fellows, all the gentlemen's praises, private guidance, and even a few outstanding students were directly accepted as disciples by the masters of the academy, all these honors should belong to him, and so on...

But after a long time, he also understood deep down in his heart that he was indeed not as popular as he thought the villagers sought after him.

There are too many people who are more knowledgeable than him, have an extraordinary bearing, and are open-minded and admirable. This is just an academy in a county town. What if it is a prefectural city?What about other parts of the country that are more prosperous than theirs, especially the Jiangnan area where there are many talents?

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle, and his eyes were dark.

The students of Tsing Hung Academy have a relatively high chance of passing the exam, and at the highest time it can reach [-]%. Except for a few students who will be upset and are selected from the average performance students, most of them are those who usually rank in the forefront of the quiz. His kind of crane tail is basically out of luck, don't even think about it.

He only got a grade D in several quizzes, and the best one got a grade C, while others were mostly grade B or even grade A. At that moment, he was so clearly aware of the gap between himself and others. , Realizing that with his own ability, he may never be elected as an official in his life.

The reason why the Yun family didn't come back when something happened was not because they listened to the dissuasion of the family members, but because they simply couldn't spare their energy to think about the old sesame seeds and rotten millet in the family, and they were blindly immersed in the big blow and couldn't extricate themselves. Doubt life, blame the injustice of God.

At this time, he asked himself, would he continue to live like this in the days to come, until all his self-confidence and pride were shattered, he was stepped on the soles of his feet, and he could no longer be self-motivated? He is like a grandfather, he returned to the village to continue farming after he stopped being a scholar, and he will not be able to get rid of his status as a mud leg in this life?
No, he is not reconciled!How could he be willing to end up in such a field?What will the people in the village think of him then?

It turned out that he, Yun Chengyao, didn't have much ability. Fortunately, he thought that he could really lead the Yun family to prosperity, but it turned out that he was no different from them.

No difference?Big difference!He shouldn't have been detained in such a backcountry by nature, his world should have been wider, and his life shouldn't have ended up being mediocre!
So, he came here, endured the humiliation in his heart, and used the name of the family to save the Yue family. No matter what, he had to win these people who were said to be from an official family and whose official position was high enough for him Unimaginable human help!

After hearing Yun Chengyao's request, Xu Shi and Yan Junze didn't show much anger or think that he was wishful thinking. Instead, they looked at him calmly and asked him: "Do you really want us to help you? You have to know, It is not possible to exchange the kindness that has left some moisture in it again and again, this time you have made a request, and even if your Yun family encounters huge troubles in the future, don't try to get anything by virtue of kindness."

Luo Jinxiu let out a soft 'huh' in her heart. Hearing this tone, could it be that she really intends to help Yun Chengyao?Even if they helped, Yun Chengyao might not remember their kindness, and maybe he would take their help for granted.

Yun Chengyao said firmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can help me win the election and guarantee that I can become an official in the future, I promise that I will never mention the kindness of the past in the future."

Yan Junze clicked his tongue, "There is no evidence for what you say, let's make a written proof."

In order to achieve his goal, Yun Chengyao did not hesitate, took the pen and paper handed over by Yan Junze's attendant, and wrote his promise on it. Halfway through, Yan Junze also specifically mentioned that he was not acting as an individual, but on behalf of their entire cloud. family, so that he doesn't mention this in the future, but the Yun family is playing rogue again and pretends it's nothing.

As for their guarantee that Yun Chengyao will be elected and that he will get an official position, it is not easy to write it out clearly. Maybe one day the written evidence will be exposed and it will become evidence for some people to attack the Duke's mansion. Intervention in the imperial examination has always been very criticized.

Yun Chengyao hesitated in his heart, fearing that they would not admit it, but Yan Junze snorted coldly and said mockingly: "I have a wicked mind, don't think that others are the same as you."

Yun Chengyao's eyes changed slightly and his expression remained the same, his face turned blue and turned white.

"What's more, if we really want to deny it, what do you think you can do?"

What can Yun Chengyao do in front of someone who is really powerful and can easily crush them to death?He can't do anything except trust that the Yan family will keep their promises.

At this time, Mrs. Xu also said leisurely: "When you participate in Qiu Wei, everything will be clear by itself. After finishing talking, let's leave."

Yun Chengyao was silent for a while, and after collecting the paperwork, he didn't say any more. He didn't even look at Yun Jinghao, and left in a hurry with anticipation and apprehension.

Luo Jinxiu couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, little uncle, why did you agree to his request?"
