Xu Darong replied, "That's natural. I know that my father has always placed high hopes on me. I read alone until midnight every day and night. I dare not relax and develop good habits. As a human being, the first thing is

It means self-discipline. There are no great people in ancient times who have endured hardships and endured hardships. Of course I understand these principles. Dad, don’t worry. Whether you pass the exam or not is a matter of life, but not relaxing in studying is a matter of my attitude. I

Our attitude must never be lax.”

If Mr. Yao had heard these words, he would have been slapped in the face!

Every night in the girl's room, doing shameless things like sex, reading and studying...

Bullshit!

Xu Youde nodded happily.

Xu Darong said again, "Dad, do you think our family is lucky? Everything goes well in anything we do. We can make money by opening a winery. We feed pigs and pigs will become fat. We can pass the exam to become a child student.

Yes, this is the road to family fortune. This time, our family may be able to produce two more scholars in this examination! Then, dad, just sit back and wait for someone to come to congratulate you every day. Maybe, the town government will invite you to your old age.

Went over to have tea and make friends."

Xu Youde tried to imagine this situation. He tried to put a more serious expression on his face to make him look less reserved, but he couldn't.

His eyebrows were all smiling, "Are you sure, Dalang?"

Xu Darong lowered his voice and said, "Dad, Dalang is almost ready for the exam, but as you know, this year the examiner will have a different style. He likes to ask this type of test questions. Next year, the examiner will have a different style.

Another type of test questions was used, which made it difficult for students to bet on the questions, and no one dared to say that they were 100% sure."

Xu Youde's smile froze, "Then...who are this year's examiners? Do you have any clues?"

Xu Darong replied, "Dad, you are very knowledgeable and you got to the point of the question right away. Logically speaking, before the exam, who the examiner is and what his identity and background are are kept confidential, so as to save students from studying the questions he likes.

Type. However, our family’s luck this year is undeniably good! One of Dalang’s classmates had inside information, which came from the provincial capital. He said he had secretly found out who this year’s examiner was, so there was a lot of news.

People who know the examiner are starting to guess the questions. The questions are not very accurate, but they are probably about 70% or 80% accurate. If you get these questions, your position as a scholar will most likely be secure!"

…

Here, Xu Jiaojiao and Mrs. Xu Zhang were making food in the kitchen. Mrs. Xu Zhang had already killed the fat rabbit and peeled off the skin and blood.

Xu Jiaojiao's ears twitched, "Mom, brother seems to be having a private conversation with dad, should we go over and listen?"

She had good hearing, and she had been paying attention to what was going on in the upper room. She could clearly hear what Xu Darong and Xu Youde said, and she could even hear what Liao Qing and the others said about the scientific examination in the backyard study.

When Mrs. Xu Zhang heard what Xu Jiaojiao said, she immediately put down the rabbit skin in her hand. She didn't wash the blood on her hands. She just wiped it on her apron and walked away, "I went to take a look. I want to fool you again."

Dad, what are you doing? The boss comes home every year and every holiday, so I don’t think anything good will happen."

Xu Jiaojiao also quickly followed.

…

Go up to the main hall.

Xu Youde was a little moved by Xu Darong's words, "Then how did this question come about? Have you asked about it?"

Xu Darong said in a low voice, "Let's find out. Dalang's classmate has a way to get the exam, but this is a secret matter. Many people want to do it. It is not easy. Even if there is a way, there is still a middleman.

It’s just a matter of spending some money. Many people are trying to ask around, but this question won’t be easy for people to inquire about. If too much is leaked, they will be investigated and punished. It will definitely only be provided in small amounts.

It all depends on who has more money..."

Xu Youde understood what Xu Darong meant, "How much silver will it cost?"

"Our Dalang was riding on the bus of his classmate. The two of us worked together to buy a title. Each of us only spent half of the road management fee, which was said to be two hundred taels per person. But Dalang's classmate knew that I was just a poor scholar.

He didn't have much silver, so he took care of Dalang. He paid more than half of it, and only asked Dalang to pay 150 taels..."

As soon as the number of one hundred and fifty taels came out, Xu Youde's eyebrows were knitted together. Xu Darong said again, "Dad, when I heard that I wanted so much, my first reaction was to refuse. With so much money, I can pass the exam."

Scholar, if you become a tutor like me in the future, how many years will it take you to make money back? Our family is not rich, where can we get so much money? But the elder man’s mother said that the first step to fame is for a child to take the exam.

, is a hopeful beginning. As long as you are selected as a scholar, you can choose someone from a high family to marry your wife.

Of course, the most important thing is to bring glory to our old Xu family. If our old Xu family has another scholar, it will be a scholar with two talents in one discipline. No, there will be three talents in one discipline. If Da Lang gets the title, he will definitely be divided into two.

Brother Qing’s share. Brother Liao Qing is listed in our family’s ancestral tree and is also a member of our old Xu family. If Dalang has a share, brother Liao Qing must have a share. In this way, our family is not too much of a loss.

many,

One hundred and fifty taels, Da Lang's mother and I were selling iron at home and pawned some clothes and furniture. We could get fifty taels for free, but the remaining one hundred taels were unaccounted for, so we came back to discuss it with dad.

Let’s discuss this matter. Dad, you will make the decision..."

As soon as Xu Darong finished speaking, Xu Zhang rushed in with his hands covered in blood.

"Bah! Damn boss, why did you come home for no reason, and specially congratulated Liao Qing and Xiaosi for passing the boy's exam? Bah! You want to come back to cheat money again! Send us all away, in

I'm here to fool your father. I'll give him a hundred taels as soon as he opens his mouth. If you have the ability, go and grab it! People pass the exams for scholars based on their ability. You fooled your father and spent money to buy a scholar. Where's your face?"

Xu Darong managed to avoid everyone and was having a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Youde, but Xu Zhang suddenly barged in like this.

He knew that if Xu Zhang knew about this matter, Xu Zhang would be the first to disagree and break the news, so he had to communicate with Xu Youde first and convince Xu Youde before he could discuss the matter openly, otherwise, he would

Apart from being sprayed by Xu Zhang, there are no other consequences.

Even though he had lowered his voice, he was still discovered.

I could only bite the bullet and explain, "Mom, that's not what you mean. The imperial examination questions are endlessly changing. There are emperors and courtiers, and examiners have different styles. No matter how hard and solid the students study, they will not be able to answer the questions correctly.

Most of them are useless. In ancient times, people would answer questions before preparing for the exam. It is a legitimate behavior to answer questions. Even before Liao Qing and Xiaosi'er were alive, did the Master also help them answer questions? In your words
