The Yao family has always doted on his son Qin Jian and thinks that his son is very good. After Qin Jianhui tried to make the list, this idea became even more deep-rooted.

Even if Xu Zheng has been known as a prodigy and a genius since he was a child, Yao at most admitted that he was a little talented before. But now Xu Zheng missed the spring festival because he wanted to keep filial piety, but Qin Jian successfully passed the examination and was on the list. Yao had already decided in his heart that his son was better than Xu Zheng, and at least he would not lose to Xu Zheng in talent and learning. She sarcastically mocked Xu Zheng behind her back, and the most unbearable thing was that Xu continued to elevate Xu Zheng and belittle her grandson Qin Jian.

However, after Qin Jian became a tribute, the Xu family has never said anything like that again, at most, he thinks that his grandson and nephew are also very good, but the nephew's luck is worse and he missed this subject, otherwise the two cousins will definitely be on the list at the same time.

When the Yao family was proud of his son, Xu suddenly said again, thinking that Qin Jian's ability to go to high school was a shit luck, and he was likely to fail in the next subject, compared to Xu Zheng's ability to go to high school...... How can this be endured by Yao?!

She didn't understand, where was her son inferior to Xu Zheng? Even if Xu Zheng had some fame when he was a child, who knows how much of it was deliberately publicized by the Xu family? Just to raise Xu Zheng's worth, so as to trick a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family to go back. The Xu family and the Xu family always felt that Qin Jian was inferior to Xu Zheng, but in fact, he won the township examination for the first time, and he was on the list for the first time he participated in the entrance examination. This is not called a real talent, what is a real talent? To belittle a real talent, but to praise a small person who has never participated in the examination at all, is the bloodline of the Xu family so noble? What is the mother-in-law Xu still marrying into the Qin family? Isn't it better to be an old girl in the Xu family for a lifetime?!

Yao was so angry that his face was crooked. Even before this, she was extremely opposed to her son Qin Jian giving up the palace examination of this subject, but now in order to save face in front of her mother-in-law Xu, she couldn't care so much, and even said: "Madame's words are too underestimating Brother Jian." There are thousands of lifters participating in the Spring Lifter in this section, and Brother Jian can overpower so many lifters and pass the first exam, which shows that he has real talent and real learning, and he is better than many people! Since he can be a tribute, it means that his knowledge is better than that of a lifter! Even if he takes the exam again in three years, he will not fail the list! What if he gives up this subject? Isn't the person who joins the Spring Festival three years later also a lifter who has not passed the exam? Who can be better than him who has already passed the exam?! Brother Jian was still young in this subject and didn't have enough time to prepare for the exam, so he only took more than 200 exams. In the next subject, he will have more time to study for books, and maybe he can even pass the top prize!"

Xu Shi frowned when he heard this: "You were carried away by the good news that Brother Jian was on the list, right? You only got more than 200 people in the exam today, and you still expect him to be the champion? Don't dream! He will study for three more years, and if he can get within 100 in the next subject, I will burn high incense." I might as well count on Brother Zheng. She was not in a very good mood, and she didn't want to quarrel with her daughter-in-law, so she waved her hand, "That's it, let it go." The children of our Chengenhou Mansion, whether they are the same Jinshi or Jinshi, can be officials in the same way. I don't expect Brother Jian to enter the cabinet in the future, so let him toss. If you don't pass the next subject, it's a big deal to take the test again. There are many white-headed jinshi, but they really can't pass the exam, and it's not that they can't be officials. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, as long as you as parents think it is feasible, where can I manage so much?"

Yao's face suddenly turned red, and his hands began to tremble, as if he was so angry that he was about to explode at any moment.

Qin Jian was stunned when he heard this. Although he was glad to see that his mother, Yao, seemed to have changed her mind, he definitely didn't want to see his grandmother quarrel with his mother!

Qin Zhonghai cleared his throat and glanced at Qin Bai with some embarrassment, feeling that it was really embarrassing for his mother and wife to expose their contradictions with each other in front of the third uncle in the next room. He had to try to round out the scene: "Brother Jian'er's request, I don't know what the third uncle thinks?"

Qin Bai had been watching the dispute between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house quite calmly, before he came, he had expected this kind of scene to happen, and he was not surprised at all. He said lightly to Qin Zhonghai: "It's a good thing that Brother Jian can have such ambition. He has been reading books in front of me for the past few years, and I hope that he will do better in the exam. Most of the students under my sect who have passed the examination are from Jinshi, and they have not yet produced a fellow Jinshi. I hope Brother Jane is no exception. ”

Qin Zhonghai immediately remembered Wu Shaoying and the rumored Wang Fuzhong, as well as Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun from Jinke High School. He had met these young people several times, and knew that they were all excellent readers, and they also got along well with Qin Jian. He understood what Qin Bai meant, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the teaching of the third uncle, Brother Jian would not have today's results." If the third uncle thinks that he still has some talent and is willing to continue to guide him, the nephew, as a father, naturally hopes that his son can have a better future. ”

Qin Bai smiled and said: "Brother Jian'er's foundation is indeed insufficient, mainly because of the slight lack of literary talent. However, I am not very good at poetry and songs. In a few days, I took him to visit several famous poets in Beijing, to see which one was willing to give him a few words, and maybe he would be able to make progress, but I don't know. It would be even better if you could worship one of them for formal practice. ”

Qin Zhonghai hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, Third Uncle." If Brother Jian really achieves something in his childhood, it is all given by the third uncle, and our father and son will be grateful for it all their lives. After giving his son another look, Qin Jian hurriedly came over and saluted Qin Bai with his father.

Qin Bai smiled and accepted their salutes, and began to instruct Qin Zhonghai again, since he was going to give up the current science hall test and worship a famous teacher, what should he do, what kind of gifts should he prepare, what should he pay attention to when visiting famous poets, and so on. Qin Jian was also listening carefully, taking Qin Bai's words to heart.

Qin Bai didn't say anything to the Xu family and the Yao family. In this matter, as long as Qin Zhonghai has the support, the opinions of the Xu family and the Yao family are not so important.

Seeing this, Xu opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say anything, only silently lowered his head and drank tea. She would not refute Qin Bai's opinion.

And Yao's was almost angry just now, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she was a little confused, and after a while, she gradually calmed down, and then found that she was originally against her son's abandonment of the palace exam, but now she has become in favor, and it is too late to change her words. Because her husband Qin Zhonghai has already made a decision, and she can't force her son to take the palace exam and get good results, what else can she do besides supporting her son's decision?

Yao was a little dumbfounded, and secretly glanced at her husband complainingly, complaining that Qin Zhonghai had not discussed it with him first, so he made a decision in a hurry. But now, she can only pray in front of the Buddha that her son can successfully succeed in high school in the next subject and be among the best, and at the same time pray that Xu Zheng will not do well in the exam and his grades will be worse than her son, so that Xu will not have the opportunity to belittle his son anymore.

Qin Jian gave up the exam, so he decided to do it. The long room and the third room both accepted this matter calmly, but among the people of the long room, it was inevitable that there would be some discussions, and many people felt that Qin Jian was a bit risky by doing this. The Qin family has never had a jinshi and a fellow jinshi, even if he takes a fellow jinshi, what if he takes the exam? But some people think that he is very ambitious to do this, anyway, with his background, he doesn't have to think about his future livelihood, he is still young now, what is the difference between being an official a few years earlier and being an official a few years later?

Within two days, the second room also got the news. Qin Bofu came to the long room with his wife and children, and he was extremely opposed to Qin Jian's approach. He felt that his nephew had thought too much about the imperial examination, and that he had given up the opportunity to become an official when he could get it! If he was replaced, how could he care whether he was a third-class or second-class? The sooner he entered the official career, the sooner he grasped power, this is the most practical thing!

After resuming his life, Qin Bofu couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart, and in front of his cousins in the next room, he also seemed to show off his official position. Of course, this is only because he complained in his heart that his three cousins refused to help him recover in the past, and now it is just to show that he can make a comeback without their help, not that he thinks his official position is great. Now even Qin Shutao has been promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth rank, and he is on an equal footing, and Qin Zhonghai and Qin Ping's official positions are higher than his. In front of these two cousins, he didn't have any arrogant capital, at most he just expressed his dissatisfaction a little.

Regarding his unflattering words and attitude, Qin Zhonghai took care of it, but complained that he accepted the position offered by Uncle Pei: "It is said that it is a repetition, what is the difference between this and demotion? ! But now that you have been demoted by half a grade, what have you become in the eyes of others? The position of Honglu Temple is not a decent job, and the eldest brother does not even feel that he has suffered a loss? I knew that you were willing to accept even the official position of Cong Liupin, so what else did I pick for you? It is not that there has been a vacancy in Jingzhong for Cong Liupin, and if you are a foreign official, you can have both the sixth rank and the Cong Wupin! It's just that the place is remote and barren, and I am afraid of wronging the eldest brother. In the near future, it is estimated that there will be a fairly good magistrate function vacant, and the Zhizhou of Zhengwupin is still in the relatively wealthy Jiangnan area. It is also common for Liupin Jingguan to be sent to the local area, and it is also common to be promoted to two levels. I had long thought about taking care of my eldest brother, but I didn't expect you to go to Honglu Temple without saying hello! This lack can only cheapen others, so I really don't know what to say!"

Qin Bofu was taken aback: "There is such a thing, then why don't you tell me?!"

Qin Zhonghai snorted: "I am only fifty percent sure at most, in case things don't work out, but I told you first, wouldn't it make you happy?" I still thought that when I was seventy or eighty percent sure, it wouldn't be too late to tell you." Outcome...... Now it is impossible to transfer you to another position, how can you be promoted from a Beijing official of the sixth rank to the fifth grade? If you have outstanding political achievements, it is just that, and it can be said that you have been promoted exceptionally, but you have just recovered, and your resume is not very good-looking, and it is not easy to operate. The difference between this level is sometimes a moat!"

Qin Bofu was suddenly extremely depressed. How could things not be coincidental?

Where is he still talking about his nephew's imperial examination now?
