Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

   Chapter 48 48 Being an official is difficult

   As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of sighing around.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't take it seriously, and continued: "My family knows that she has been smart since she was a child, but the Lin family has the fifth uncle, a reading man, who has exhausted the family's savings. No matter how hard my father and my mother are to earn money, Xiaozhi will enter. No school."

   "Hey, we're all in the same family. Who goes to school is not the same? Your fifth uncle is very promising, won't he also help your siblings?" Lin Dachui said.

  Lin Xiaoyue immediately looked at Lin Yuanshan mockingly.

   Then he looked at Lin Dahui again.

"Master, don't you know? My grandmother spends six taels of silver on my fifth uncle every month, and that doesn't include the money for pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. And the schoolboys in our village only spend more than one tael of silver every month. ."

  Lin Yuanshan's complexion was suddenly pale, and the hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist.

   Seeing Lin Dachui looking at him, he quickly whispered to his father, and he would explain to him later.

  Lin Sledgehammer actually believed the fifth man just like Mrs. Lin.

   "How can your fifth uncle's situation be the same as other families? He almost passed the Tongsheng exam in the previous year, and he is going to end next year, so he has to work harder."

   As soon as these words came out, some people around were unhappy.

  What makes him the fifth son of the Lin family is different from the reading man from other families? Some of them also have a scholar who wants to take the Tongsheng test, okay? Who is this old man of the Lin family looking down on?

   "Huh." Lin Xiaoyue chuckled lightly.

   As the saying goes, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"I expect a person who only knows how to rely on management, but does not work **** their studies, to take the test of Tongsheng. Is it that you think too simple, or I think too complicated?" Lin Xiaoyue said sarcastically: "If relying on management is useful, then the city Those outsiders have already filled their quotas."

   These words were a bit heavy, and the village chief frowned upon hearing it.

  Lin Yuanshan was even paler.

   Is this girl insinuating that he wants to cheat? If this spreads out, it may destroy him!

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Lin Xiaoyue said again: "If I remember correctly, the fifth uncle opened at the age of six, and ended at the age of fourteen. He failed the exam twice in a row without being admitted to Tongsheng. Grandma believes that such qualifications, after being admitted to Tongsheng, Can I be admitted to Xiucai again, and then to Juren, Jinshi?"

  Lin Xiaoyue's tone was ironic, "Does grandma know what level a scholar must pass to qualify as an official?"

  Lin Sledgehammer and Mrs. Lin looked a little dazed.

  Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the crowd and suddenly looked at a teenage boy.

   "Aunt Zheng, can you ask your Yongzi to tell everyone. How should a scholar go up to the next level, and what level does he need to get to be an official?"

   Aunt Wang had introduced her to her before that the child brought by Aunt Zheng’s family was a scholar and had already passed the opening stage. These should be understood naturally.

   "Hehe, what's the matter! Yongzi, go and tell everyone!" Aunt Zheng immediately pushed his son next to him.

   Zheng Yongzi blushed a little, walked out of the crowd, and gave a scholar's salute in front of the village chief.

   Then, when he saw Lin Yuanshan's cannibalistic gaze looking at him, he quickly avoided it.

   Only after Lin Xiaoyue's encouragement did he open his mouth and said, "Master said, let's scholars enter officialdom..."

"If you want to be an official, you will have to recruit people at a minimum. But you can only wait for the vacancies to be filled, and generally you can't rank. At this time, if the family has money, they can consider donating to officials, but at least a thousand taels of silver are needed, and most people can't donate at all... "

   Hearing this, Lin Dachui and Mrs. Lin almost fainted.

   Want to be an official so hard? Is this different from what the fifth of their family said?
