I originally thought that Zhu Qi would be very lucky if he could be admitted to the county magistrate's office. Unexpectedly, he also won the favor of Magistrate Yu and received a "letter of recommendation."

Liu Jiantong could force himself not to be jealous of Zhu Qi's sudden rise to the top and directly obtain the title of "scholar", but this letter of recommendation...

——If the state learns, then it is the state learns.

In addition to the top performers in the government examination, only students from either rich or noble backgrounds can have the opportunity to enter.

Liu Jiantong knew very well that he had struggled for two years in the county examination, but he only got the last place. When it comes to the government examination, he is afraid... he will be in doubt!

The next day, it's dawn.

Although Zhu San knew that Liu Jiantong came back late, he didn't know what he was worried about. When he got up in the morning, he enthusiastically helped him get a basin of hot water to wash his face.

"Thank you!" Liu Jiantong said.

"No, you wash yours and we're on our way. We just met Guangji. He said that the appointed carriage has arrived downstairs. Let's hurry up." Zhu San's work didn't stop and he urged Zhu San.

Seven, quickly check if your things are missing.

I also asked Liu Jiantong if everything was packed.

Since we had to go back for a day or two and needed to eat solid food on the way, Mr. Cen asked everyone to have this last breakfast at the inn.

The journey home is always different from when we came. At that time, I was full of anxiety and no one knew what the future would bring.

Students who are about to take the exam should take advantage of the last opportunity to check for gaps and make final efforts.

Now that the dust has settled, I am relieved and those who did not pass the exam also feel a little disappointed that they did not pass the exam.

Turning around and thinking about it, there are only a few students here, Mr. Cen, and two have already passed the exam, and one is a county case chief. If they pass the exam again, it seems a bit unreasonable - which gentleman is so powerful and dares to say that he teaches

Can all the students pass the exam?

Out of a group of five people, being able to pass two exams is already something to brag about.

There is another one, the county case leader.

I don't know if Liu Jiantong is too sensitive, but he always feels that those classmates especially like to be around Zhu Qi.

Obviously, they used to like to be around themselves the most, but now...

The depression in my heart became even stronger.

It was just that he had a smile on his lips and still talked to everyone gently, so no one noticed.

When we arrived at Anjiu Town, it was already a little late.

Mr. Cen didn't want students to get into trouble while traveling at night, so he asked them to stay in the dormitory and leave the next day.

Aunt Cen, Mrs. Cen was busy for a while, but when she heard that her son actually brought a scholar out, she suddenly stopped feeling.

She happily said to her daughter-in-law: "Did you hear that, my son brought out a scholar, hahahaha..."

"I heard it, mother, my husband has always been great." Mrs. Cen's eyes were full of admiration.

If not for this, how could she willingly marry a poor teacher?

At this thought, Mrs. Cen thought a little too much.

While Mr. Cen was still asleep, she washed his feet and said gently to Mr. Cen: "Husband, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Well, what's the matter?" Mr. Cen asked, soaking his feet.

Mrs. Cen said: "What do you think of your student Shunde?"

"Be practical and serious." After thinking about it, Mr. Cen gave these four words.

Compared with other students who occasionally slack off, Zhu Qi is really serious and will complete all the tasks assigned to him meticulously.

It is precisely because of this that Mr. Cen confidently compiled a large number of exercise books and answers for Zhu Qi and asked him to go back and consolidate them slowly.

Others are different. They cannot just look at the answers, but must learn to think for themselves. Therefore, his strategy is to let them do it first, see which part is wrong, and then explain and help them make up for it.

Compared with others, Zhu Qi obviously "saves" more time.

Because he has a "photographic memory".

"Then what do you think about him being our son-in-law?" Mr. Cen felt a little more at ease and spoke his mind boldly.

Because in her opinion, since even her man thinks Zhu Qi is a "down-to-earth and serious" man, then Zhu Qi must not have any tricks and will definitely treat her daughter Cen Yingyu well in the future.

Mr. Cen was stunned: "Ah?!"

"Why are you so surprised? Do you think your daughter is not worthy of a scholar?" Mrs. Cen said, "If you dare to say that, I will fall out with you."

"Why did you think of the two of them together?" Mr. Cen was a little dumbfounded and quickly explained, "One is my student and the other is my daughter. They are both staying in the same yard. They can't see each other when they look up. How can they make him look down?

The two got engaged, and others thought something was wrong with them."

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Cen said unhappily, "Why can't it work? One is your student and the other is your daughter. Isn't that right? If word spreads, it will be a good story. I'm serious. Do you think they get along?

suitable?"

"Isn't this not good?" Mr. Cen hesitated. "Although they are quite suitable in age, we didn't mention it when Shunde came to study. We did mention it once he was admitted as a scholar. Isn't this right?

A bit..."

He was a little speechless.

Although it is said that when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places, but if it is done so obviously, isn't it a bit of a slap in the face?

"What's the point?" Mrs. Cen said, "If he hadn't been admitted as a scholar, I wouldn't have looked down upon him. Tell me yourself, what do they have in the countryside? Even if they are a scholar, they still have to go back.

If you take the exam, you can become an official. If a scholar is a scholar, besides opening an academy like you, or working as a bookkeeper, or becoming a gentleman, what else can he do? "

Mr. Cen sighed: It is useless to be a scholar. It is really not easy for a scholar to make money to support his family.

He has suffered these hardships himself and knows it all too well.

"In that case, do you still like him?" Mr. Cen asked.

"Isn't that because he was admitted as a scholar? I thought, even if he fails to pass the exam, it doesn't matter. By then, he can be a teacher in your academy and teach with your son-in-law. That will be a good story.

Mrs. Cen said, "I think if the Zhu family knew that their son could stay in the town and have a serious job, they would probably die of joy."

"Don't you have any selfish motives of your own?" Mr. Cen absolutely did not believe that his wife had no plans of her own when she proposed this marriage.

"Of course," Mrs. Cen said with dignity. "One, he can be admitted as a scholar, and he is also the county chief, so there may be hope for him to be promoted. If he is successful, will my daughter be able to do so?

Will you be able to enjoy the blessings of becoming the wife of a civil servant?"

Mr. Cen reminded her: "Let's not talk about whether Shunde can pass the exam. If he passes the exam, it will be very difficult for a scholar to become an official."

"Why? Doesn't it mean that one can become an official by being promoted?" Mrs. Cen was confused.

"You can become an official if you are promoted, but there are no vacancies in the court," Mr. Cen said. "It's like a carrot and a hole. There is no one to spare the position. Where can you become an official?"
