The villain is invincible

Chapter 274
Because Mai Fan's academic performance in Qingsong College was good, his husband made this guarantee for him.

After completing all the above, Xue Pan was allowed to take the exam, and the roster of his admission was stored in the county office.

After all the procedures are completed, it is time to go directly to the first level of the test.

The content of the previous two exams was actually the easiest for Mai Fan.

Because the first and second sessions only need to standardize the handwriting, read the articles well, do two silent readings of the corresponding articles, and finally complete a propositional poem.

By the time the third round started, it wasn't just silent recitation, there was a bit more of my own understanding in the article.

The scriptures, poems, scriptures, and concubine essays all went into battle, which really tested the basics of scholars.

For this kind of intensity of five exams, one a day, Mai Fan can handle it with ease.

In his opinion, this is equivalent to doing nothing else for a day, just to test the dictation of classical Chinese and poetry translation in Chinese.

The students in the same examination room as him have been greatly reduced since the third examination.

Because the pass rate of each county test is actually closely related to the number of local scholars admitted.

Judging from the number of people passing the county test, it is almost three to five times the number of people admitted in the scholar test.

If the passing rate of this year's government examination is [-], then the admission rate of the county examination is about [-].

Don't look at sixty people as if it is a lot, but compared with the people who participated in the county examination, it is only a small number.

In Mai Fan's previous examination room, there were still small cases side by side, and by the time he answered the third round and the fourth round, there were already a lot of vacant seats beside him.

For this test, Mai Fan is quite calm.

If the rote memorization is not enough, then all his years of learning the books will be considered in vain.

Sure enough, until the fifth round, he answered very smoothly. In response to the rhythm of answering and approving now, the list of the county test was listed the next day.

Due to the extremely cold weather these few days, although the family members were nervous, they did not let Mai Fan run to watch the list by himself.

Together with the most useful foreign affairs steward by Xue Jue's side and Xue Pan's book boy, he took on this task.

They have been squatting at the gate of the county government office since early in the morning, and when they saw the person who released the list came out, they squeezed to the front row immediately.

Probably out of confidence in their young master, the two of them unanimously looked down from the beginning of the list.

Don't tell me, the first place is their young master Xue Pan.

Seeing this result, the two people looked at each other and squeezed out of the crowd without saying a word.

After they were out of the siege, they drove the carriage and rushed to Xue's mansion.

The two rushed in through the corner door, and the first thing they did when they entered the yard was to go straight to the yard of the master and the young master to announce the good news.

In fact, the members of the Xue family were not as calm as they appeared.

Apart from Mai Fan, what should I do in the study, the master and wife of the Xue family, together with their young lady, gathered in the front hall, saying that they were eating some snacks and chatting about homework, but in fact, they all stretched their heads to go. Look outside the yard.

"Master, master, the results of the young master are out!"

"The chief of the case! Our young master passed the test of a chief of the case!"

The voice was not too loud, but neither Xue Jue nor the head mistress blamed the steward.

It's such a good thing that the whole family should know about it!

The happy Xue Jue stood up first and said three good words in succession.

Not to mention other things, as long as the person who got the head of the case, there is no such thing as a failure in the second round of the government test.

As long as this second test is passed, then the son of the Xue family will firmly take Tongsheng's name into his hands.

And although this name is not as bright as Shang Xiucai.

But for businessmen, it is equivalent to stepping into the lintel of scholars.

This is the threshold for passing the imperial examination. In some remote areas, even only children are allowed to teach.

As for the other things, Xue Jue couldn't care less. His son is only eleven years old this year. Even if he takes another three years in the exam, he will always be able to pass the scholar's test. What kind of decency and manners do you need for a fourteen-year-old scholar? !

In response to the master's happiness, all the servants in Xue's mansion were rewarded.

But the book boy who reported to Mai Fan over there saw a different side of his young master from ordinary people.

"Oh, I see!"

Knowing that he had won the case, Mai Fan just raised his eyebrows without taking his eyes off the book.

He is very dissatisfied with the behavior of his book boy who still blocks the light in front of him.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, young master, you've got the case! Why don't you be happy!"

On the contrary, Mai Fan was very surprised: "What is my goal in studying?"

"Glorious ancestors? Be an official? Make a fortune?"

Mai Fan shook his head: "The wealth of our Xue family is beyond the reach of an ordinary official in his lifetime."

"If my goal is only these, then it doesn't make much sense."

"What I want to do is to fundamentally change the Xue family's impression in the homes of businessmen and scholars."

"I hope that through my efforts, the second and third generations of the Xue family can embark on the path of scholars and be recognized by a true scholarly family."

"So, if I just achieved the achievements of a child, do you think those people with deep background will look at my background?"

"I have to study better, get higher test scores than those from the scholarly family, and perform better than them, so that I can integrate into their group and be looked up to by them."

"So, if I'm only complacent about this achievement, then my achievements will end here."

When Mai Fan said these words, Xue Jue was rushing to Mai Fan's study with his family.

Walking to the door, he could clearly hear the conversation between Mai Fan and the book boy.

It was precisely because of this conversation that Xue Jue stopped wanting to celebrate.

Thinking that his son's ambition is much stronger than that of his father, the Xue family's low-key performance is the best support for Xue Pan now.

"Shh..."

Thinking of this, Xue Jue made a booing gesture to the people behind him, telling the family members to do what they should do as usual.

And because Mai Fan's five senses are more sensitive than ordinary people's, he already knew that the members of the Xue family had come outside the door.

What he said came from the sincerity, but most of them were still for his family members to hear.

The members of the Xue family are good at everything, the only thing that is not good is that they like to show off their wealth.

Mai Fan felt that among those with real heritage, which one did not hide their wealth in their daily life, this was probably the real reason why the aristocratic family looked down on merchants.
