Although he had long expected that Jian Shuqi's family affairs might be complicated, Chi Fei couldn't imagine that his father would be like this.

In this family environment, Jian Shuqi not only did not grow crooked, but was so motivated, it seems that the root cause is also in his mother's words and deeds to him since he was a child.

Sure enough, parents are the best teachers for their children, and this sentence is not wrong at all.

Although Jian Shuqi has a scumbag father, he is fortunate to have a sensible mother, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Chi Fei didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.

"I originally planned to study hard for three years before taking the next exam, but that woman actually instigated my father to give my mother's sister to her nephew, a loser who likes to drink, lust and gamble.

She did this just to use my sister as a hostage to force me to comply.

It stands to reason that my sister is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and her identity is very different from that loser's identity, so where is his turn to be delusional.

But my father really agreed, there is such a confused father in the world, I sometimes really want to open his head to see if it is full of paste. ”

Speaking of this, Jian Shuqi was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise.

After a while, Jian Shuqi calmed down his anger before he continued, "In the end, after the desperate struggle between my mother and me, this marriage was finally canceled. But my father and I had a complete falling out, and I almost broke off the father-son relationship.

I originally disdained to fight with them, but after my sister's incident, I realized that I was too useless to be an older brother, and I couldn't even protect her and my mother.

With such a confused father, and that vicious woman, I can't wait to take the exam again in three years.

I desperately need real power to suppress the real power of my father and that woman.

It is not enough to just raise the status of a person, to do this, to be admitted to the Jinshi and be awarded an official by the imperial court is the key first step.

Only when I become an official will they be jealous of me and dare not do anything wrong.

Isn't that woman nervous about her precious son? As long as I have the right to have someone in my hands, I can toss him as much as I want. I want her to taste what it means to give back to the other.

Sometimes I can't help but think that my experience with Jiang Ming, the protagonist of "Rebirth", is really a bit similar.

It's just that his enemy is his stepmother, and my enemy is the vicious woman. ”

"That's just fiction, don't take it too seriously."

"I know, I just felt it. Ah Zhen, do you know how many places I will try?

"Since you have been designated by the Holy Lord as a Tanhua, your ranking should not be too low."

"You're wrong, I'll try to rank second to last, just a little bit away from falling to Sun Mountain."

Chi Fei was a little surprised, how did such a test result become a top one in the palace examination? Could it be that he played extraordinarily during the temple test?

Soon, Chi Fei learned the answer from Jian Shuqi.

"Actually, I know very well in my heart that with my current level and ranking, I am already thankful to be on the list. With such a ranking, it is simply a fool's dream to get a ranking within the second class in the palace examination.

If there are no accidents, I will only be a fellow jinshi.

In officialdom, Tong Jinshi is not only naturally inferior, but also has far fewer opportunities for promotion than others.

Since I have ambitions for a career, of course I don't want to start like this.

So I spent money to buy a eunuch in the palace, and then through that eunuch, I got on the line of Grandpa Zhang.

Gonggong Zhang is the head of the inner house, and he is also the person who can speak around the saint.

I gave two of the most valuable treasures in my mother's dowry to my father-in-law, and I only asked him to say two good words for me in front of the saint.

Fortunately, this father-in-law is also a trustworthy person, and he really helped me say two good words in front of the saint, so that my name was listed in the saint, so that he knew that I was the only child of the family who passed the examination in the past 20 years.

It was because of my status as the eldest son of the Hou Mansion that the Holy Lord made an exception to me as a flower explorer, showing his preferential treatment to the family.

You see, it's just two good words from a big eunuch, and it's ridiculous to let a fellow jinshi turn over and become a first-class and third-class Tanhualang? ”

Looking at his friend's slightly bitter smile, Chi Fei was silent for a moment, and then asked, "If you were given another chance, would you still do it?" ”

"Yes, I'll do it anyway, no matter how disgusting it is."

"If you think so, I'm completely relieved."

"Ah Zhen, you once said that people who want to enter the officialdom must be prepared to dirty themselves, there are some things that they may not want to do, disdain to do, and dare not do, but in order to achieve their goals, they have to do it.

After going through this incident, I finally figured it out completely.

I am just a layman who wants to be an official and wants to be in power, otherwise I would not have spent so many years studying hard to take the road of the imperial examination.

If you really want to be a clean person with a clear breeze and white dew, you shouldn't enter the official career. ”

"It's good if you figure it out, the imperial examination is just a stepping stone to officialdom for you.

After you enter the officialdom, no one will care how well you do in the imperial examination, others only look at how you usually do things and how you behave.

What's more, you didn't cheat, you just used other means to maximize your own advantages, and it was the Holy One who made the final decision. ”

Jian Shuqi looked at him and said solemnly, "Ah Zhen, thank you." ”

"Don't say polite words, do you plan to go out or stay in Beijing?"

"In order to protect my mother and my sister, I am not suitable for the time being. At least I won't leave the capital until my sister's marriage is finalized.

In addition, according to the convention, the new branch jinshi who is less than the first class will enter the Hanlin Academy, so I will stay in Beijing to work. ”

"That's good, if there is anything you need help with, just speak up, I will definitely do my best to help."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you if necessary."

At this time, Jian Shuqi no longer had the gloomy atmosphere in his eyes, and there was only a tenacious and calm look in his eyes.

Chi Fei knows that the current Jian Shuqi has changed from a scholar to a qualified politician.

Once a smart person like Jian Shuqi turns a corner, the potential to burst out is amazing. Chi Fei also wanted to see where he could go.

However, as his friend, Chi Fei still had to remind him, "I won't say anything else, I just give you one piece of advice, don't mix it with such a thing." If you are not careful, you will end up with a house and a beheading. ”

Jian Shuqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't mix this kind of thing." And a little shrimp like me who has just entered the officialdom, no one will take me seriously, and it is not my turn to worry about this kind of thing. ”

Seeing that his expression didn't look like a fake, Chi Fei was relieved.

If it is another Jinshi from an ordinary background, there is really no need to worry about this problem.

But Jian Shuqi is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, even if he has not yet been established as the prince, his identity is far beyond that of other Jinshi, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will come to woo him because of his identity.
