"Well, it really should be the government examination."
"That's it, Master, you don't want to write a letter now. You have to write now. What if it damages Master Yi's luck? Or wait until he is a scholar in high school and becomes a scholar, and you can write another letter.
Be very happy and happy." Shi Wan smiled and said, "Young Master Yi is so powerful, he will definitely not disappoint you. Maybe he will not only pass the exam to be a scholar, but he will also be able to pass the Jinshi exam in one fell swoop.
Maybe I can give you an unexpected surprise and win the first prize in the exam, which will make you, a father-in-law, very happy..."
The tone was surprising, as if he really saw Yao Anyi win the first prize in the exam and gave Mr. Yao a huge surprise. He said it so much that Mr. Yao's heart was racing.
"Hey, how can he have such ability? If he can pass the exam, anyone in the world can pass the exam."
Shi Wan looked at Master Yao's happy expression and continued to compliment: "Hey, Master, you can't say that. You said before that Master Yi can't do this or that, and he can't compare to Master Hong from the second room, but look...
Look, Master Yi is so talented. He has passed the Tongsheng test for you. What a happy event. Master Yi has proven himself with his strength. How can you underestimate Master Yi? You should believe in Master Yi, he will definitely be able to pass the exam.
If you win the top prize, I will give you an unexpected surprise."
Mr. Yao Sanye smiled from ear to ear: "Hahahaha... Forget it, he really failed the exam. I don't expect him to pass the exam. As long as he can pass the exam, I will be grateful."
Originally, Yao Anyi passed the Tongsheng test, and Mr. Yao was very happy. But after Shi Wan said this, Mr. Yao raised the standard, skipped the scholar, promoted people, and jumped directly to the Jinshi level.
He felt that if he himself could pass the exam, his son Yao Anyi would definitely pass the exam.
Since he started studying at such an old age and was able to pass the Jinshi exam, then Yao Anyi, who started studying at such a young age, should be even better than him and will definitely pass the Jinshi exam.
So...
Yao Anyi was inexplicably crowned with the title of "future Jinshi" in his absence.
Yao Anyi: "..."
"Aqiu——"
Yao Anyi sneezed.
In the carriage, Yao Anhong put down his book and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did you choke on something?"
Yao Anyi shook his head: "No, I just suddenly felt a little pain in my nose."
He rubbed his nose.
"I don't know where we are. It's getting hotter and hotter now. I hope I can reach the provincial capital as soon as possible." Yao Anhong saw that he was fine and moved his shoulders. "After sitting in the carriage for so long, my body is stiff.
"
"It's almost here, Uncle Cao said, we'll be here in a few days. By then, when my cousin has finished taking the provincial examination, we can go to Beijing." Yao Anyi said with a smile on his face, "I've been away from the capital for so long.
I almost don’t remember what the capital looks like.”
"I'll take you around when the time comes. The capital is quite big. I took the time to walk around a few times before, and I can still feel the general direction."
"What's fun in the capital?"
"The capital..."
…
To be honest, although the two of them were born in the capital, Yao Anyi was still young when they left the capital and was not old enough to go out.
Yao Anhong was old enough to go out, but at that time the Yao family was in decline. Uncle Yao and Second Master Yao were not yet in their prime, and there was no one to take him around.
Therefore, Yao Anhong doesn't have many opportunities to go out.
Later, Gu Qingling remarried, Yao Anhong grew up, and finally had the opportunity to go shopping.
But unfortunately, he didn't stay long and was busy with his studies, so he didn't have the chance to finish the tour. As he said, he could feel the general direction.
Yao Anyi said: "When my cousin finishes the exam, let's go shopping."
"Okay." Yao Anhong knew in his heart that no matter what the result of this exam was, he would probably have to live in Beijing forever.
A few days later, the two arrived at the provincial capital.
Generally speaking, rural examinations are held in the capital or various provincial cities.
The household registrations of Yao Anhong, Yao Anyi and others are in their hometown in Jinling, so they need to take the county examination, prefecture examination at the place of their household registration, and when it comes to the township examination, they go to the provincial capital of the higher-level unit to take the examination.
Therefore, in addition to Jinling, where the county examination and government examination were located, the Yao family also prepared courtyards in the provincial capital where their own family members had to pass to participate in the imperial examination.
As soon as Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi arrived in the provincial capital, they were sent to another hospital by Uncle Cao.
The two rested for a while, and the next day Yao Anhong took Yao Anyi for a stroll.
As two young people, it was rare for them to travel far away without adult supervision, so they really felt like they wanted to have some fun.
However, Yao Anhong still had to take the provincial examination. No matter how bold they were, the two of them did not dare to delay the formal examination, so they just walked around the city and stayed in the yard.
Yao Anyi took advantage of Yao Anhong's preparation for the exam and studied the questions beside him.
Having failed the government examination before, Yao Anyi felt that his foundation was not solid enough, so he not only asked the bookstore to help collect some new government examination question books, but also collected some college examination questions.
In addition, there is also a collection of wrong questions lying next to it. If you find a wrong test paper, just copy it out and do it several times.
One was a mistake he made accidentally, and the other was a mistake he didn't master at all. Yao Anyi recorded them all with different symbols, made a summary every few days, and then filled in the gaps according to his own mistakes.
Seeing Yao Anyi working so hard, Yao Anhong couldn't relax. He carefully flipped through the collection of wrong questions to make sure he really remembered them.
There is no way, the end is coming soon. Instead of spending so much time to supplement new knowledge, it is better to consolidate the old knowledge - to achieve 100% mastery of what you should be able to do.
As for new knowledge that I really don’t know...
Then we can only give up.
Compared with the latter, the former is easier to score points and achieve maximum efficiency.
In a blink of an eye, it’s August.
In August, sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, so the rural examination is also called Qiuwei.
The examiners are specially appointed officials from the central government and are personally appointed by Emperor Mingguang.
What Yao Anhong didn't expect was that this official was actually an "old acquaintance" of the Yao family, Lord Zhou Ye, the Minister of Household Affairs.
At that time, one of the persons responsible for the "smallpox case" was Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Later, after Uncle Yao came to Beijing to become an official, he still had contacts with Mr. Zhou.
After knowing that the examiner was Mr. Zhou, Yao Anhong paid special attention, fearing that he would be related to Mr. Zhou and let others take advantage of him.
Lord Zhou had already informed Emperor Mingguang that he had an old relationship with the Yao family before leaving the capital.
When Emperor Mingguang heard this, he said: "Except for the newly appointed officials in the capital in recent years, how many of the ministers in the court are the same as the Yao family?"
With a big wave of his hand, he didn't take it to heart at all and asked Mr. Zhou to do whatever he wanted.
There are only so many imperial and imperial dynasties. In addition to the need for examiners in the capital, all provincial cities and towns need them. If we really want to eliminate the so-called "old", several ministers will not have to work.
The so-called "old" can only be determined by whether they are relatives and whether they belong to the same faction.
Obviously, there is no factional relationship between the Ministry of Revenue and the Yao family. They are just "old", and Emperor Mingguang really doesn't take it seriously. What's more, with the contributions made by the Yao family, Emperor Mingguang doesn't mind doing favors for the Yao family.
A convenience.
Of course, the premise is that Mr. Zhou and the Yao family have the courage.
Emperor Mingguang knew clearly that given Mr. Zhou's cautious temperament, he might not be able to do so.
Unless the Yao family comes up with something that Mr. Zhou cannot refuse.
But if that's the case, what does it matter whether he is Mr. Zhou or not?
Even if it's not Mr. Zhou, can anyone else refuse?
