Indeed, compared to those from a poor family, Yao Anyi took advantage of the Yao family. Every time he took an exam, he found out who the examiner was and what his preferences were.
Fortunately, this low-level exam basically focuses on basic knowledge. Although there are some subjective factors, the impact of subjective factors is slightly smaller.
Unlike the subsequent government examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations, the subjective factors of the examiner will have a greater impact.
After all, the further you go in the examination, the greater the proportion of classics and theory will be.
Especially when it comes to practical policy and theory, a person's arguments and principles of doing things are more important, which is the way to be an official in the future.
Whether it is the current emperor or a high-ranking official, they would definitely prefer to recruit someone who agrees with their own ideas rather than someone who disagrees with them.
Aunt Chen didn't want to put pressure on Yao Anyi. When she heard that she had failed the imperial examination and was given the title of a child, she was also very happy and praised Yao Anyi for being better than his predecessors. He was much more promising than his father, Mr. Yao Sanye.
I think back then, when Mr. Yao was this age, he was still eating at home and waiting to die.
"You have a childbirth at such a young age. If your father knew about it, I'm afraid he would be very happy. At your father's age, you will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination, maybe even pass the imperial examination and become a high official."
On the side, Mrs. Yao San snorted coldly: "Mother, you are happy too early. Don't hurt Dong Yong by then and be happy for nothing. He is not the second brother Hong, he is born to study..."
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Chen glared at Mrs. Yao San: "If you can't speak, don't speak. Are you such a mother-in-law? Brother Yi is your own son. If you didn't think about him when he was a child, forget it.
When he grows up, you still don’t think about him? Have you lived in a dog’s belly?”
"I...I'm doing this for his own good. I'm not afraid that he will be too proud and really hurt Dong Yong."
"I don't know about Dong Yong and Dong Yong. I only know that when his father was his age, he was nothing. If he can pass the Tongsheng test at this age, he is promising."
…
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Yao Anyi was helpless.
Therefore, if nothing happens, he would rather stay in the clan school than come back.
Once you come back, you will inevitably face conflicts between the two.
He is about to be freed. In a few days, he will go to Beijing to "study" with his cousin Yao Anhong. It is a pity that his younger brothers and sisters...
Thinking of this, Yao Anyi decided that he would talk to Aunt Chen later and ask Aunt Chen to take more care of Brother Xu and Sister Qing.
Although Mrs. Yao San attaches great importance to Brother Xu, so there should be no accidents, but what if?
Yao Anyi was afraid that Mrs. Yao San would anger Brother Xu.
Now that it's Sister Qing, I'll definitely have to take special care of her.
Otherwise, given Mrs. Yao San's displeasure with Sister Qing, if Yao Anyi doesn't come back for a few years, he doesn't know what this sister will become like.
He also agreed with Auntie Chen that when Brother Xu and Sister Qing reach their age, they will be sent to kindergarten immediately and asked to be taken care of by the cousins in the second room.
"Sister Qing is a girl and needs guidance. My grandson thinks Sister Ling is very good. If the old aunt is free, she can sit in the second room more. Please ask the second aunt and Sister Ling to take care of Sister Qing if they have nothing to do. No.
It is said that Sister Qing has learned a lot from Sister Ling, and it would be good to learn from Six, Seven, and Eight."
Aunt Chen nodded: "Well, you have thought carefully about this matter. Your mother was born as a concubine, and she has learned to be a little family-minded, and is not as generous as your second aunt. Sister Qing cannot learn from your mother, and you should learn from it.
Even Princess Chongqin likes your second aunt and Sister Ling for their general style and magnanimity. Among these daughters-in-law, your second aunt is the most popular with Princess Chongqin."
Even Mrs. Yao was excluded by Aunt Chen.
Mrs. Yao may be forgetful, but she comes from a scholarly family and is a bit fussy.
Unlike Mrs. Yao Er, she is more down-to-earth, well-rounded, and can read people's faces and please them.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Yao Er is blessed. With the baby in her belly, she has already added five children to her second wife.
She doesn't ask for anything else. She only hopes that when Sister Qing grows up, she will marry into her husband's family and have a son as soon as she enters the house, so that she can establish herself.
Before setting off, Yao Anyi was called over by Mrs. Yao San and given another lecture.
Over and over again, that's all. Either she said Yao Anyi was stupid, unfilial, or not of the same mind as her, or she was scolding Yao Anyi for being stupid and knowing that she preferred the second wife.
She asked Yao Anyi if he had forgotten who gave birth to her and which house she belonged to.
He is not the concubine of the second room, so why would he always go to the second room when he has nothing to do?
If Yao Anhong kissed him again, it wouldn't be from a mother.
…
Balabala, said a lot of unpleasant things.
Yao Anyi was very helpless.
What can he do?
You can only lower your head and let the left ear go in and the right ear go out.
Who told this to be his mother?
He has no choice but to suffer.
The only thing I hope for is that these words will not reach the ears of the second room, lest the second room will have a grudge and think something happened to him.
In the blink of an eye, June came, and Mr. Yao, who was far away, also received the news that Yao Anyi had passed the Tongsheng examination.
"Hahahahaha... That's great! I knew that Brother Yi has been quiet since he was a child, so he must be good at studying. Look, look, how old he is, and he has already passed the middle school entrance examination..."
Mr. Yao was so proud that he quickly called Shi Wan over to share the good news with her.
When Shi Wan saw it was a family letter, it said that Yao Anyi, the eldest son of the third wife, had passed the Tongsheng examination, and his eyes flashed.
While she congratulated Mr. Yao with a smile, looking like "you are so honored", she was secretly worried in her heart.
Those born by direct descendants are definitely different from those born by concubines.
If the legitimate son is too promising, what will happen to Brother Xi who comes out of her belly?
By then all the resources of Sanfang will be allocated to Yao Anyi, then wouldn't her son...
Shi Wan suddenly felt the pressure, and somewhat blamed Mr. Yao for being unreliable. He had complained to her about Yao Anyi's "dark history" all the time. She felt that Yao Anyi was a weakling who couldn't stand up to the wall, saying that she would have to rely on her son in the future.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly gave her a slap on the stick today.
Sure enough, a man's mouth is a liar.
Mr. Yao Sanye was nothing like that. He was still boasting about Yao Anyi, saying that he was worthy of being his son. He only started reading when he was so old, so he could get a result. Yao Anyi started reading when he was a child.
Sure enough, I read it.
"He didn't disappoint me as a father and didn't embarrass me, hahahaha..."
On a whim, Mr. Yao picked up a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter to Yao Anyi, telling him not to be arrogant and arrogant when he had no achievements, but to continue working hard, pass the Jinshi examination as soon as possible, and honor his ancestors.
"Master, is it too early for you to write now?" Shi Wan looked at Master Yao's expression and prepared to give Yao Anyi a hat, "You see, Master Yi is so like you, he has been studying since he was a child.
As expected, if you passed the Tongsheng test at such a young age, wouldn’t it be as easy as searching for a scholar to get something? Counting the days, you should go to the government to take the test now, right?"
