Chapter 277

But this is a completely different test for him to participate in as an ancient person.

Because he had learned the old sayings since he was a child, he didn't think they were too harsh. On the contrary, after he got used to them, they were so refined that he felt that this was probably the ancients' resentment for the slow writing of calligraphy.

And he has the advantage of the later generations' cultural interpretation of the predecessors, which makes him always a little higher than the people of this era in terms of breaking the topic and conception of the article.

For his articles, his teacher was never worried.

Fortunately, the following poems and songs only accounted for less than [-]% of the score, otherwise he would most likely be held back by the poems and fall into the ranks of mediocrity.

In Mai Fan's eyes, this test paper was considered simple, but it took him a whole day.

The one or two rounds of the talent test have passed, and the rest is the tormenting waiting period.

The members of the Xue family have been extremely impetuous these past few days. The whole family, except Mai Fan, fell into an inexplicable anxiety.

Even Xue Baochai, who was only eight years old, had stopped thinking about learning housekeeping from her mother.

Holding a collection of poems every day, I stared at my brother who was studying hard in a daze.

"Brother, are you not worried at all?"

Mai Fan looked at his younger sister who was as white as jade and snow and smiled: "Worry, as long as you are a person who has taken the exam, how can you not worry about your grades."

"However, I have already come out of the examination room, so what's the use of worrying now?"

"It's better to hurry up and read the new knowledge carefully, so as to prepare for the next exam."

"Sister, you must remember that if you are really worried, you will study hard on weekdays."

"When it came time to take the exam, I really did my best."

"If you still fail the exam, it means that your learning method may have deviated. Change a teacher, change the way of answering questions, or change the font, and there is time to correct it."

"After all, you can take the imperial examination twice in three years."

"It's not a one-shot deal."

"But if you didn't work hard from the beginning, what's the use of worrying about death now?"

"Relax and wait for the news to come."

Speaking of this, Mai Fan couldn't help but glanced at his sister again, couldn't help it, touched the top of the other's hair with only two buns, and said: "You said you are young, don't worry about it." There are so many things.”

"In our family, there is a father at the top, and a family at the back. If it's not enough, I, my brother who is three or four years older than you, is standing in the front."

"You're a girl from every family, as long as you want to be pampered by your father and brother, that's fine."

"In today's world, the only time you can relax is when you are a girl."

"You're at our house, can't you be a little lady who doesn't worry about anything?"

"There are things that you can't figure out, things that you can't get through, just remember that you still have a brother who is a real brother who will support you in the future."

Just these few words made Xue Baochai teary.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that such a good day was like an illusion like a moon in a well of flowers in the water. She was afraid that when she woke up, it was just a dream.

But now, Xue Baochai couldn't help rubbing her brother's hand. This warm and solid feeling made her feel at ease.

"I understand, brother, I believe you."

This Xue Baochai showed a bright smile just now, and saw Mai Fan's bookboy changed his previous demeanor of a servant of everyone, and rushed into Mai Fan's yard like a gust of wind.

Thanks to the fact that he still remembered the last decency, he didn't dare to break into Mai Fan's study easily, but shouted at Mai Fan outside with a little excitement and eagerness: "Master! You've won!"

"Master! We won! We won! Second place! With such a ranking, one can be qualified to enter the county school for further study, and can directly obtain the title of janitor."

"Our young master, not only will he not have to pay public grain in the future, but the whole yamen will also distribute grain to our young master."

Mai Fan Shutong's showing off like this made Xue Baochai laugh out loud.

What kind of family is their family, why have they ever worried about rice, flour, grain and oil?

It's just that I really didn't expect that my brother, who was only eleven or twelve years old, had already earned the title of scholar.

What the elder brother said just now will support her as a girl... Thinking of this, Xue Baochai feels relieved for no reason.

It seems that it is not impossible to achieve.

Mai Fan got a report from the book boy, so naturally the whole yard got a circle of rewards.

Xue Jue, the Patriarch of the Xue family, who got the news one step earlier than Mai Fan, could be considered to have found a reason to celebrate. It was according to his own butler, and the outside stewards lit the firecrackers.

There is also a porter servant outside, who does nothing but distributes large sums of money to those who come to watch the fun at the door.

After all, Xue Jue is a royal businessman, even if he is sending money, he doesn't smell like a nouveau riche.

He didn't let people splash the big money on the ground. Instead, he saw a person who had never taken money in his hand, so he stuffed a red envelope the size of a palm into the other person's hand.

There is not much in the red envelope, only six coins are put in, and the prize is the lucky lottery of Liuliu Dashun and auspiciousness, in order to pray for his Xue family's sons and daughters, and what they are asking for is the health of the children , a happy family Suishun.

This time, the status of people has been made a lot more equal.

Those who took the money lived not far from Xue's residence, and the people who could live in the surrounding area were not in difficult families.

Now that he has this respect, it is natural to send out good words without hesitation.

He also heard in gossip that the young master of the Xue family had taken the title of a scholar in one go at a young age, and he was even more envious and did not forget to praise him.

In just one afternoon, the news that the young master Xue Pan of the Xue family had won the title of scholar at a young age spread throughout Jinling City.

Those who are friendly with the Xue family or who are some of the leaders can't help but be secretly surprised.

It is true that the young master of the Xue family does not usually show his face in front of outsiders.

But this appearance shocked everyone's attention.

Let's not talk about the age of being a scholar, but just saying that he can get the second place in the Southern Imperial Examination, which is full of literary styles. This is something that even those generations of scholarly children may not be able to guarantee.

Why let a businessman's child get such a ranking?
What kind of appearance is that young man named Xue Pan?

All of a sudden, Xue Pan became a child in other people's mouths, and many people wanted to see what was so special about him.
