Chapter 061: The Road to the Imperial Examination of the Farmer (2)

Anne didn't have time to settle accounts with the system, because the greasy uncle she was going to cross had already stood in front of her.

"My wish is to pass the imperial examination, glorify my ancestors, and let my father and mother and the people in the clan know that only I, Zhou Yaozu, am the most promising person in the entire Zhou family. ”

Zhou Yaozu said excitedly, "I think I passed the children's examination at the age of thirteen, and I am the youngest talent in Qi County, what a scenery."

Anne interrupted him, "Since you can pass the child exam, why don't you keep trying." ”

Although he has not accepted the plot yet, it can be guessed from Zhou Yaozu's words that Zhou Yaozu should not have continued to take the exam, but has repeatedly failed.

Otherwise, Zhou Yaozu's wish is to "let his family support him to continue the imperial examination".

"What do you know, how difficult is the road to the imperial examination?"

When Zhou Yaozu heard this, he was not happy, and said angrily: "I think I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and every time I am a little bit worse." Sometimes, the examination is not only about strength, but also about luck. But I'm out of luck."

Anne was a little unconvinced, after all, her system was the best.

If what Zhou Yaozu said was true, then it would be impossible for him to come to the best system.

However, Anne has already figured it out, whether Zhou Yaozu is the best or not, it doesn't have much to do with her, she just needs to complete the task.

"Okay, I'll grant your wish. Anne readily agreed.

Zhou Yaozu seemed to be a little reluctant, but he still nodded, and his figure slowly became transparent, and finally disappeared.

Anne begins to receive the plot.

When she finished receiving the plot, she had a sure look on her face

She knew that Zhou Yaozu was not a good thing, and what he said just now was also a half-truth.

Anyone who has read the farming text knows that there is such a type of ancient farming text: a poor peasant family, several brothers, and the eldest son (or a certain son) who is respected has some talent in reading, and the family will do everything for him to study and take the imperial examination.

At first, the eldest son may work hard, and he really has some achievements.

But when he read a lot and went outside to see the world of flowers, he began to enjoy it with others.

With the hard-earned money of the whole family, he didn't want to study hard, but he squandered it arbitrarily.

The brothers who work at home work like old scalpers, but they eat chaff vegetables, and the eldest son, who doesn't do anything, spends all day drinking under the pretext of studying.

Some will also get into bad habits such as prostitution and gambling, sell their nieces and ancestral property, and drag the whole family into a quagmire.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yaozu is such a typical character.

Zhoujiaao, where Zhou's family is located, is a small mountain village, and almost all the people in the village are surnamed Zhou.

Zhou Yaozu's grandfather was the only talent in Zhoujiaao, and his family was very good, leaving his son nearly 100 acres of fertile land and a tiled house.

It's a pity that Zhou Yaozu's father, Zhou Jingxian, couldn't study well and was not in good health, so instead of keeping this family business, he also sold a lot of land because of medical treatment.

When the three Zhou Yaozu brothers grew up, the Zhou family only had sixty acres of land left.

Zhou Jingxian himself is not angry, so he hopes that his sons can be successful.

Although he had no talent for reading, he had been reading for a few days, and he had a lot of books left by his father at home.

When Zhou Yaozu was five or six years old, Zhou Jingxian personally enlightened his eldest son, and unexpectedly found that the eldest son was actually quite smart.

An article that he can memorize after reading it a few times.

After just one month of practice, he can already read the big characters he writes.

Zhou Jingxian was pleasantly surprised, and said that the eldest son was the hope of their Zhou family.

Since then, Zhou Jingxian has concentrated on cultivating Zhou Yaozu.

Zhou Yaozu was also very competitive, and soon Zhou Jingxian had nothing to teach.

Zhou Jingxian gritted his teeth and sent Zhou Yaozu to the private school next door.

Zhou Yaozu studied for a few years, and when he was thirteen years old, he passed the children's examination, and became famous in the entire county.

Although he failed in the next township test, it was already remarkable.

After all, a thirteen-year-old child is the first in the entire county.

Zhou Yaozu came out, and the county's teachings all looked at him differently, and advised him to "don't be discouraged and fight again in the coming year."

and personally wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending Zhou Yaozu to study at Qingyun Academy in the county.

Qingyun Academy is the best academy in the county, and the professors in it are all people with many years of teaching experience, and there are even two people who were born as scholars but did not go well in the officialdom and came to teach.

Qingyun Academy has been established for twenty or thirty years, and every year, many students have been promoted to the entrance examination.

Some people joked that as long as he was admitted to Qingyun Academy, his imperial examination would be half of the success.

Zhou Yaozu was admitted to Xiucai and was admitted to Qingyun Academy, which was a great joy in the entire Zhoujiaao.

Zhou Jingxian, who learned the news, was really painful and happy.

Happy, easy to understand, his eldest son has a future.

It's painful, it's so simple, his family doesn't have any spare money.

Qingyun Academy has a strong teaching force, and the bundle is naturally not cheap.

The tuition fee is twelve taels per year, plus pen, ink, paper, inkstone, accommodation and meal expenses, and it costs twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.

This does not include books used to read the book, as well as other expenses.

Books are very expensive these days, and many students can't even afford to buy a complete set of four books, so everyone often copies their own books.

Not to mention going to the academy in the county, the communication between classmates, teachers and students is also indispensable, and these are indispensable for money.

There was no way, Zhou Jing sold five acres of land first, barely enough to raise enough money for the first two years.

He thinks simply, his son studies well, but he is unlucky, he works hard for two years, and he should be able to pass the exam next year.

Once the eldest son is promoted, not only does the family's land not have to pay taxes, but also the entire Zhoujiaao and surrounding fields can be attached to the son's name, and the money given by the clansmen and neighbors is very considerable.

If he is moved, even if his son has an official status, those businessmen and wealthy families will compete with each other.

Then find a good lady with a generous dowry for her son, and if her son can pass the Jinshi exam, he will fail the exam, and he can live a very comfortable life in Qi County by relying on the identity of the master.

The entire Zhou family can also follow suit!

Zhou Jingxian's wishful thinking crackled, and he thought of everything, but he overestimated his son's strength.

Zhou Yaozu couldn't pass the township test, where is his bad luck, it is clearly a lack of ability.

Subsequent facts proved that at the age of thirteen, he was able to pass the Xiucai exam this time, which was already the peak of Zhou Yaozu's life, and he never surpassed it in the future.

On the contrary, because of the surprise at the beginning, Zhou Yaozu thought that he was very good, and the bad thing was luck.

For the so-called "luck", he rushed to the exam again and again, spent all the family's money, and sold all the family's land.

He fell off the list again and again, couldn't withstand the psychological blows, and was fascinated by the fancy world outside, and began to set foot in green buildings and casinos.

In the end, he was beaten to death by gambling debt collectors, and the entire Zhou family was separated and the family was ruined.

“...... Scum!" "After reading Zhou Yaozu's life history, Anne only gave him these two words.

However, what makes her even more desperate is that from today onwards, she is Zhou Yaozu.

Anne took a deep breath, it was not too late for her to come to the node now, it was Zhou Yaozu's third township test failure, and she was depressed after returning home.

It's just that......

Anne rubbed her eyebrows, unlike the original plot, this time Zhou Yaozu just came out of the gambling house, and "coincidentally" met the third brother Zhou Yaoting, who came to the county to do odd jobs, and the father and son collided.

Zhou Yaoting, who has always been honest, didn't know what was wrong, he seemed to be crazy, and catching Zhou Yaozu was an accusation, and finally dragged him back to Zhoujiaao.

"System!"

Anne found a problem, so she naturally wanted to ask the system for clarification.

"Say!" the system continues to maintain a cold personality.

"Is there a problem with Zhou Yaoting?"

There was a collision with the traverser, and when she noticed that the plot had changed, Anne's first reaction was that there was something wrong with the abnormal Zhou Yaoting.

"No, he's fine. ”

The system gave a negative answer, and then said, "The problem is Zhou Yaoting's son Zhou Xianyi, who was reborn." ”

Anne was so happy that she hurriedly asked, "Is it possible that the difficulty of the task has increased, and the points can be doubled?"

The system cruelly poured cold water, "This is not a trial task, there is no difficulty bonus." This system solemnly tells the executor that no matter how difficult the task is in the future, there will be no double points. ”

The world of 60 is not at all doubling of points because of the appearance of a traverser.

It was clear that she had met the big demon king, and Anne did not expose the best system in front of the big demon king, and the system was happy for a while, and she was excited to give compensation.

gave compensation, and soon the system regretted it: woo, that's his own little money, he saved it for a long time, and as a result, it was all cheaper Anne!

"No, no, why are you so serious!"

Anne grunted dissatisfiedly, and no longer bothered with the system, but continued to organize her thoughts.

When the system saw that Anne didn't speak, she simply flashed.

was arrested by Zhou Yaoting yesterday, and the Zhou family (except for Zhou Jingxian and Dafang) who heard about it were very angry.

Zhou Yaozong, who was a little cautious, took the opportunity to shout for a separation, and his wife Ma also echoed it.

Ma also kept making eye contact with the third daughter-in-law, Chang, and signaled her to hurry up and express her position.

Chang's heart is a little moved, she has been married to the Zhou family for more than ten years, and has given birth to two daughters one after another.

was bullied by his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and he didn't dare to squeak.

It wasn't until she gave birth to her son that Chang straightened her waist, but years of habit had been formed, and she didn't dare to look up and speak in front of her elders.

But when she thought of her son's words and the intelligence of Su Ri's son, she still pulled her husband's sleeve.

Zhou Yaoting hated his eldest brother for not being angry, wasting the family's money, not to mention, he dared to go to the gambling house.

Gambling, this kind of thing, absolutely not touched.

If it is stained, the family will be ruined.

However, Zhou Yaoting was angry, but he never thought about separating.

Although his parents are a little partial to the eldest brother, he understands it very well.

In these years, the eldest son inherited the family business, and the old man also relied on the eldest son.

Moreover, his eldest brother is indeed competitive, and until now, the record of the youngest talent in Qi County is still held by his eldest brother.

In the past few years, the eldest brother has not gone well in the imperial examination, and he has not studied well at first, but as long as his father teaches him a hard lesson, he will be fine if he changes.

Sensing his wife's small movements, Zhou Yaoting also thought of his son, gritted his teeth, and said: "Dad, you don't need to divide the family, I just think that the eldest brother can't pass the exam, so it's better to find a private school to teach first, so that the family can save some chewing, and if the children have good qualifications, they can also be sent to school." ”

For example, the righteous son of his family is smart and studious, and he can memorize several articles by eavesdropping on his uncle's reading......
