After all, is his daughter who has been spoiled for so many years? Can he really be cruel to watch her daughter suffer from a hunger strike?

Zheng's father helplessly took back his concubine Zheng Lan and told her about the marriage: "Yang Yuanjia is talented and has a bright future, but if you don't want to marry, you won't force yourself to be a father."

Zheng Lan, who grew up in the village, was a little timid and did not dare to refuse: "But rely on his father!"

＜＜＜＜＜＜

When Yuan Jia came to propose marriage, he learned from Zheng's father that the daughter Zheng's father betrothed to him was a concubine.

Yuan Jia suddenly realized in his heart. No wonder Zheng’s father easily betrothed his daughter to him when he saw him. It turned out that the one who was promised was a concubine. No wonder...

Those high-ranking families who have a strong family are attracted by promising poor students, and even if the investment fails, they will lose a concubine. If the investment is successful, it will be a powerful in-law.

Yuan Jia, who thought he knew Zheng's father's plan, did not mind the identity of his fiancée's concubine. Anyway, he just planned to tease the Zheng family's tiger skin when he first entered the officialdom and hoped that the Zheng family would fully support his son-in-law like he supported Zheng Chi. Therefore, it is irrelevant to Yuan Jia.

When his foundation was 100% true, the Zheng family was nothing to him. Yuan Jia asked very little about the Zheng family, so he didn't care about his fiancee's legitimate and illegitimate background.

However, when Zheng's father saw Yuan Jia's unhateful appearance, he felt guilty.

Zheng's father really wanted to recruit Yuan Jia as his son-in-law. At first, he wanted to marry a legitimate daughter, but he didn't expect something to happen, so he could only change the candidate against his conscience.

After the two families got engaged, they caused some trouble in a small area in the capital.

After all, the Zheng family is not a small family in the capital, especially over the years, the Zheng family has always said that there was only one legitimate daughter, and suddenly a concubine daughter appeared and married a poor scholar, which is curious.

However, after satisfying curiosity, no one paid attention to this marriage. It is true that both men and women have identities that deserve their attention.

After Yuanjia and the Zheng family made a marriage, Zheng's father often asked Yuanjia to come to the mansion to have a small meal. When Zheng's father took the imperial examination, he finally passed the second place in the exam and has not given up studying for many years.

Zheng Lan, who returned to Zheng's mansion from the village, was strongly asked by Zheng's father to take Zheng's mother to teach the housekeeper.

After all, Zheng Lan has been living in the village for many years and has not learned anything at all. He can only study suddenly before marriage and work hard to make up for the lessons.

Phoenix, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. are not demanding high for women. The most important thing for the wife is the housekeeper.

Zheng's mother didn't dare to tamper with teaching her concubine's daughter. In the past, she wanted Zheng Lan to fend for herself, but she didn't plan to let her get married, so she let her go. But now Zheng Lan is about to get married. If she doesn't know anything, and if she gets married, there will be problems with the housekeeper, others will only say that her legitimate mother did not teach her well, which will affect her reputation.

Zheng Lan is timid, but she also knows that this is her opportunity, so she is very serious when studying with Zheng's mother, and even if she encounters difficulties, she will forcibly endure it.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuanjia didn't feel the storm in the backyard of Zheng Mansion. After all, he could not easily go into other people's backyard to meet his female family members. He has not been able to see his fiancée yet.

He came to Zheng's family most of the time he went to Zheng Chi to receive pre-examination tutoring with Zheng's father in the study.

Zheng’s father knew exactly what style of articles the chief examiner liked in this exam and what styles other examiners liked. These happened to be Yuan Jia’s shortcomings. He could not get in touch with this kind of information before entering the officialdom.

Days passed day by day, and finally, the imperial examination came.

Yuan Jia and Zheng Chi entered the examination room together.

There are three exams in total, and each exam lasts for three days. It takes nine days to be considered a relief.

After Yuan Jia's last exam, he felt extremely relaxed when he came out of the exam room.

Even if it is not the first time I have experienced such an exam, every time I experience it, I feel like I have lost my skin.

Zheng Chi was even worse than him. After coming out, he was sick. Fortunately, he was just a minor illness. After taking medicine for a few days, he was almost cured. He did not delay the palace examination and just happened to be released.

After the results of the test, Yuanjia High School met with Yuanjia!

The fame of Jinshi is a foregone conclusion! Because the palace examination only ranks and cannot win people, and the dignified Huiyuan will never be able to fall into the same Jinshi in the palace examination.

Zheng Chi's ranking this time was probably affected by physical factors. His ranking was worse than that of the provincial examination. He only ranked 16th and fell outside the tenth place.

After Yuan Jia passed the exam, he came to Zheng's mansion again and found that there was not much joy in the mansion. That is, Zheng's father expressed his praise and joy to him in high school. Zheng's mother held a face when she saw him, as if she didn't like him.

Thinking of Zheng Chi's ranking, Yuan Jia understood a little. Perhaps Zheng Chi's care was stimulated again, especially when his friend who was younger than him got the first place in the exam, but he fell to the top ten and went to the same cram school. Why is the gap so big?

Zheng's mother, who felt sorry for her son, was naturally unhappy when she saw Yuan Jia's comparison group.

In fact, what Zheng’s mother was even more unhappy was that Yuan Jia’s grades were so good that she and Zheng Xiang could not wait to push Zheng Lan out of her before. If she had known that Yang Yuanjia would be able to meet the top student in high school, she would not have to let Zheng Lan return to Zheng’s mansion.

However, Zheng's mother didn't take any Huiyuan to heart. She had good results in the imperial examination and had a high ranking in the palace examination, which did not mean that the future career was smooth.

Are there few old top scholars who have been retiring in the Hanlin Academy?

The entire Zheng Mansion was probably the one who thought he knew the wise and Zheng Lan, who had picked up a Jinshi husband for free, were very happy from the bottom of his heart.

Even Zheng Chi was happy for Yuan Jia and had some lemons. He couldn't help but think: If he didn't get sick in the last exam, he might have a chance to compete for the position of Huo Yuan!

However, no matter how much he regrets and is upset, the exam has passed, and time cannot be repeated, and he cannot take it again.

The palace examination is coming soon.

When Yuanjia ascended the Emperor's Hall, he suddenly remembered the poem "I am a farmer in the morning and ascended the Emperor's Hall in the evening."

The imperial examination was really the only way for poor students in ancient times to advance.

It has been more than eight years since the emperor ascended the throne. He is wise and powerful, and he is a wise monarch. The prince under his knees has not grown up and has no dispute over the throne. It is the time when he is most at ease to be a court official.

There is no need to worry that your boss is a fool at the moment, nor do you have to worry about taking the team.
