Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Seeing Meng Tan lying on the bed unable to move, and looking at his eyes still full of hope, Chen Changan felt sad for a moment, because his mother had really worked hard for him.

If he can't get ahead, how can he be worthy of his mother, how can he be worthy of his whole family who are tightening their belts, and how can he be worthy of the clansmen who help him study?

Chen Changan was moved and his pressure doubled in an instant, but he did not feel distressed.

Stress, for some people, is a worry and something they want to escape from.

But for some people, pressure is the best motivation.

That's what Chen Changan is like. Not only is he talented, he is also diligent. Whenever he thinks about his mother who insisted on sending him to school, his brothers and sisters who never complained, and the clansmen who are full of hope for him, Chen Changan feels like beating him. Like chicken blood.

However, this boiling blood was extinguished after he followed Cui Ping and was tested all the way through the school.

Yes, Cui Ping, an old man who did not follow the usual path, was testing Chen Changan's knowledge all the way. One second he might have been asking about governance by inaction, and the next second he was asking about selecting talents and abilities.

They also asked him to give his own thoughts, and also asked him if it was the exam, would it be the current answer?

Chen Changan had a photographic memory. He had almost penetrated the academy's collection of books, and he had almost torn through the eight-legged essays written by Jinshi scholars over the years.

He knew that he was not as good as those who had a collection of books at home or had access to famous teachers. After several rounds of exams, his top ranking gave him confidence. Even three years ago, he failed to pass the exam once, but he was not discouraged. .

In fact, last time, his ranking was very close to the one at the end of the crane, and he felt that he would definitely be able to do it again.

But when faced with Cui Ping's almost chaotic and detailed yet well-structured examination, the constant impact of his thoughts and the guidance on what he had thought about made him realize what the difference was between himself and those students from prestigious families.

It is knowledge and vision. A small thing may be seen ten steps, but he can only see five steps.

However, after a moment of depression, Chen Changan became excited again.

However, Master Cui is his opportunity, the opportunity his mother fought for him.

He must take advantage of it.

Cui Ping looked at Chen Changan calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Chen Changan didn't know that Cui Ping did it on purpose. His scientific examination that year was really a fight between gods and gods.

The number one scholar that year was Zhang Bing and Zhang Boyuan, who had become famous at a young age. This man was the eldest son of his descendant Zhang and was now the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of War.

The second person on the list is Han Chong and Han Gongpei, who is currently a bachelor in the cabinet. He comes from a noble family.

Even the two famous poets from the north and south, Li Ji and Eucommia ulmoides, were only in the top two at that time.

Cui Ping's eyes were long and long, as if he was nostalgic. The group of people who were so high-spirited back then are now their own masters and fighting for their own affairs.

He didn't formally test Chen Changan, but he could see his talent and some character from Chen Changan's incomplete answers.

I just don’t know if this young man can withstand the temptation.

When he arrived at the study room of Cui Ping's house, Cui Ping rolled up his sleeves, took a sip from the tea cup, and said, "Your talent and learning are pretty good."

Chen Changan only regarded the words as polite words and listened respectfully.

"I heard that you haven't married yet, and I thought, it's a pity that you just buried it. I have a daughter, she is thirteen now, she is a bit younger, but she looks like a beautiful woman, and the country is beautiful and fragrant. I want to know how she is suitable for you. ?”

Cui Ping took another sip.

Chen Changan was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hands and said: "Sir, this student is already twenty-one this year. He is a lot richer and richer, so he may not be a good match." "You don't look down on my daughter?!"

"No, sir... don't you think the student is too old? Your daughter can definitely find a better one."

Chen Changan took a deep breath and did not dare to look up at Cui Ping's expression. He thought that Mr. Cui must be angry now.

"The student's family is poor, with only a few acres of thin farmland, and his brothers and sisters are not married yet. If a rich daughter is married into a wealthy family, she may have endless worries and hardships, and the student may not be able to go to high school right away. The one who will endure the hardship will be your daughter, can you, sir, bear it?"

Cui Ping suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, I will give her a larger dowry then, and you and your wife won't have to go through such hardship."

"grown ups!"

"If you marry my daughter, I will introduce you to the famous scholar Li Ji, how about it?"

Cui Ping interrupted Chen Changan, his tone sounded very determined to win, and when he heard Li Ji's name, Chen Changan was moved for a moment.

But he soon woke up.

Why should he?

No matter how miserable the Cui family is, they have grown from a poor family to a wealthy family. Even if Cui Ping is demoted, how can his daughter be a small scholar?

He has no family background and no financial resources, so why should he?

"I won't hide it from you. My daughter was born with a disease. If you can treat her well, I will ensure that your future is safe."

Cui Ping coughed, covering up a trace of guilt in his eyes. He glanced at Chen Changan, the corners of his lips curled up, "It's fine, I didn't see it," and continued: "I won't embarrass you. You go back and think about it carefully before you come to the house to find someone else." My officer."

After saying that, he didn't give Chen Changan a chance to speak and just waved people away.

Chen Changan left, and the young man Zhichun came in with two letters in his hand.

"Third Master, there is a letter from the young master and the young lady at home, as well as a souvenir from the uncle."

"Bring it here."

Cui Ping opened the letter in a few moments. After reading it, his expression paused, and then he frowned.

Zhichun didn't know, so he asked: "Third Master, what's wrong?"

"Go down and get ready. Erlang, Sanlang, Shilang and Huiniang will be here soon."

"Yes, Third Master."

Zhichun agreed and left, but Cui Ping's eyebrows were still furrowed. He opened Uncle Cui's letter again, and there were only three sentences in it:

The third and fourth princes have been granted the title of Prince Ning and Prince Yun, and they have recently chosen their concubines. The ninth prince left a letter to join the army and sneaked out of the capital.

When he read the last sentence, Cui Ping's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

I can't imagine how much chaos there will be in the capital. Prince Ning and Prince Yun must have selected concubines to win over the ministers of the court. The Cui family is a loyalist faction, so the eldest brother doesn't know how much headache he will have.

Look, Saburo and Shiro's shitty knowledge was actually sent here in the name of being a scholar.

Hui Niang was well versed in medicine herself, so how could she become seriously ill and have to go to him to recuperate?

He also called it euphemistically: I miss my father and I feel sick.

Cui Ping couldn't help but roll his eyes. Huiniang didn't know who she was following. She was either playing with herbs or reading medical books all day long. When he was here, people still disliked him for being noisy.

My daughter can miss him, unless the sow can climb a tree!

However... previously he wanted to give his daughter a few years to slowly get to know each other, but now that someone is coveting his daughter, it's time to get to know her.
